Guild Wars 2

The FAQ of Path of Fire says;

Q: Will Path of Fire only be available digitally, or will there be a boxed edition as well?

A: Path of Fire is available primarily as a digital download. Please visit our official site for a full list of the available editions and exclusive bonus items, or click here to find other official retailers.

So no boxed version

I dont agree, some people have to quit the game then, because not everyone could pay $10 a month.

Some people could only play this game because it is free to play. Thats why i dislike other MMO’s that you have to pay each month. Its not for everyone anymore, i live in The Netherlands, but i know roughly 1 on the 10 households have serious debts. And i know they should not keep an eye for them out. But offering this now its to late.

But there is an different solution, cut the gold(way more) to gems convert. then most people have to pay for cosmetics. This would raise the income aswell. And arenanet is under NCsoft so i dont know for sure, but wouldnt this mean, all the money goes to NCsoft and they pay Arenanet and all the other MMO’s/games they have under their wings? (I dont know)

I dont know if i need to post it here, but since i have updated my AMD graphics card i have huge lagg spikes and the game is unplayable.

Loading screens keep flickering so i see my desktop.

And i dont know how to report this with my graphics card driver … So i was hoping that maybe anet had contact with them

My system is;
Softwareversie Radeon – 16.7.3
Software-editie Radeon – Crimson
Grafische chipset – AMD Radeon R7 200 Series
Grootte geheugen – 1024 MB
Geheugentype – GDDR5
Kernklok – 800 MHz
Windows-versie – Windows 10 (64 bit)
Systeemgeheugen – 8 GB
CPU-type – Intel® Core™ i5-6400 CPU @ 2.70GHz

i know it isnt great but still it just to work before the update.

Try updating your game by creating a shortcut with -image behind it, it will then download the full game? maybe it will then work or try -repair behind it to fix it?

I have the same isue since yesterday patch. HAvent played for a few days and now im getting annoyed with the disconnections.

By loging in daily, and then check the treasure box above the mini map and then press two times Ok. then you will get the reward.

Every time it will reset itself so you have to start over then.

Actually this game doesnt need it, since you get XP by exploring/doing hearts and crafting.

So i think zygor cant make a guide for you.

Easy way to level is doing the Hearts and do all the starting area’s first.

And then the story mode for XP.

Of course some crafting aswell (login every day to get on the 6th day of each 7 days (if im not mistaken) a tome (instant level up))

It did not work, stil very very long loading screens…. And it said the drive did not need defragmentation, so i dont think that is the problem.

I have tried;
- reinstalling the game
- defraging the drive where its on

I could try to move it to my C drive since it is kitten… ? (why if i put SSD in small letters its called kitten?)

Behellagh.1468:

Assuming you have the game installed on a normal hard drive and not an SSD, the main data file is likely highly fragmented after a major patch, broken up and spread all around the drive. This causes extra movement of the disk drive read/write head which is slow relative to how fast data can be read which can significantly slow down read speeds from the hard drive.

Using a 3rd party free defragmenting tool like Auslogics DiskDefrag or Piriform’s Defraggler can significantly help improving read speeds. Also these tools allow you to defrag just a folder or a file as oppose to the entire drive.

I will try this option thank you for your reply i will let you know if it worked

Hi since the update of June 23 the loading process is very slow again, before the update it was quite normale but now it’s even worse then before the update that solves the slow loading screens. Its even that worse if i want to play and change map i can alt tab, browse some facebook and then go back and its almost done loading.

I havent changed a bit to my computer! but it happend after the GW2 update.

I dont know what information would help to give you a clue?

But im using windows 8.1

a quick question i bought the game at februari 28th and it costed me €60 for the core game because of the deluxe edition would i get the refund for €60? or would i need to pay €17.99 for the deluxe version?

I was thinking, they cant change the pricing on the game anymore!

Because if they lowered it or change it, what would happen to the people who already bought it?

So with other words i dont think complaining or discussing would actually work anymore, wich i think is unfortunatly, they should have anounced it sooner to see what we thought about this, this was just a quick solution and still no release date.

But i think when they anounce a new beta weekend/test day alot of people would buy it though

And maybe arenanet didnt do the pricing but NCsoft did? So i dont know if we are compaining to the right people….

And not that i fully agree with the pricing but;

Blizzard montly costs are roughly € 12

Every 2 years there will be an expansion at the cost of € 44.99

So lets do the math 24*12 = €288 + 44.99 = € 332.99 for an expansion …. (it doesnt include a core game though (With wrath of the lich king it did)

The game exists since 2004 (base game + expansions are total costs of €1952.95 if you played since the start)

And they have “ingame” buyable items for roughly € 10 / € 20 each so i guess it isnt that much what anet is asking us….

Okay after reading this i found out we in europe have to pay more then americans do?

Normal pack costs $50 wich is € 44.07 and we have to pay € 44.99 wich is $ 51.08 ( $1.08 more Its nothing to say about that is normal)
The deluxe version costs $75 wich is € 66.06 we have to pay € 74.99 wich is $ 85.14 ( $ 10.14 more its huge!!)
The ultimate version costs $100 wich is € 88.08 we have to pay € 99.99 wich is $ 113.53 ( $ 13.53 more, its huge)

(I’ve converted this with the status for 20-6-2015 at 00.22 GMT+01)

tax differences. US sales tax averages at about 5.45% european taxes are between 15-27% more or less accounts for the difference.

But why almost no difference on the $ 50 ?

I can’t figure of why people are defending Anet’s decisions on the bundles, it’s like they want to be ripped off. I personally spend a lot on the gem store to gain items I want and in turn support the company. Since I started playing the amount I spent is probably more than a monthly sub fee. Which leads me to another question how many of these “white knights” actually support this game through gems? Cause as of how much I’ve spent on this game I have a valid reason to be upset when I know I’m being ripped off. This expac costing $50 for what they’ve shown and no character slot must be a late April Fool’s joke…

Well if i read it as an foreigner (Im from the netherlands) it said with the two other bundles an additional character slot

If i transelate it directly or take it litterly it means (in my opinion) you will get 2 char slots

Am i wrong here?

I think Anet could give a solution for everyones problem! Its easy to satisfy alot of people, give the people who already have the core game an additional key to give away to friends or family (or create a second bank account). Edit: I mean just the CORE game

Its easy to do and they satify more people! They will get an additional 5 character slots and they could use it to trade to themselves.

I see the point Anet has and i do understand them why they need to get the pricing this way and yes i think its to high for an expansion at this rate, but we havent seen the full map yet and story so maybe its bigger then expected.

But still i will buy it when i have the money … And everyone who complains would do the same though

For some reason i cant get the 100% map explorer because i keep getting to Queensdale

And ofcourse …. (A cliché Super hero adventure box)

How come they have the technology but never went to the moon or created space travel?

Because it would make for an ub3r boring storyline. Also, I don’t particularly like Star Wars or Star Trek.

Its not ment for space battle or such, but actually Mankind always wanted to go the moon since always so i wondered why not in tyria. Its not that Anet should add it but i always wondered why there hasnt been an atempt in gw2 or a record of it that they tried.

I really the old school missions in guild wars 2 like we had in guild wars 2, where you need a party to follow a story inside the world (Not a dungeon) but i had an idea about this.

The mission on Claw island was bringing all the orders together what i miss in that story was other players doing the story at the same time (BEcause they are part of the orders aswell)

What i would like to see is a mission where you need 10 or more players to achieve a goal for example; The nightmare court are trying to invade the pale tree to take over the new born sylvarri, goal is trying to stop them but on a real battle field (or a new enemy) but its instanced and not real map changing .

Maybe it could be made as a “Simulation hub” made by the asura to see what would happen if this happen like other simulations with centaurs, inquest etc, a real battlefield idea but then PvE related and with real players versus npc’s \

English isnt my native language so sorry if i didnt explain it good enough, but i hope you could give your own thoughts about it and make it even a better idea or maybe you dont like it but i would like to know why, to make this work or not.

I always wondered and couldnt find it so i created a new topic!

How come they have the technology but never went to the moon or created space travel? They have technology and why hasnt any Asura atempted this?

Because the elder dragons are trying to destroy tyria so i wondered why not searching for an other world in advance? If we fail to destroy the dragons before they consume Tyria.

I think asura gates would work the same as stargates? IT could travel to different worlds if they are calibrated and connected to different worlds? OR it doesnt work that way? I dont know thats why i am asking it

First of all sorry for my bad english!

I was thinking some people only play 1 character and if you want to get all achievements you need to create 5 characters of each race.

Since the game is turning to a point that all races need to work with eachother i was thinking why not creating a system where you can work for other races and doing that story line aswell?

Since its part of a story? Since the pact was forged you work with the priory and the other factions aswell, why not help them aswell? And why making a choice?

This could even be a gemstore item, like “reliving” a choice you should make instead of creating a new character just for the achievement. Lets say the name could be called “Daydreaming” and it will cost 800 gems for just one choice, like how it would be if you were an asura? Or make a reputation points for the armor of an asura even to wear for a human?

I dont know if this would be a great idea but this is just on my mind and please dont bash it that hard though. I dont even know if its possible or not but with the HoT it would a nice idea in my head ….

Thank you alot! so this topic could be closed

Hi there,

How do you explore the area’s i made red? I see fog there and i would like to know how that area disappears

I wondered something aswell, ive read that the humans arent official from Tyria and set foot on land from a different land.

So how big is the world do you think? Is there a reference in gw1 aswell for this?

locoman.1974:

The beginning of HoT is supposed to be set a day after the end of season 2 (don’t remember where I read it), so I don’t really expect the story to advance until then.

However, I do expect to see some content to happen between here and then, probably the opening of SAB or return of the dragon festival or something like that, or maybe a festival for the reopening of LA.

Well if you state it that way we wont see a thing before the release because it would mess up the timeline? LA cant be reopend in a day time? That is what i think though, or else LA should have been fixed right in Season2?

Ive heard about the five gods alot and made a human.

But i wonder if the five gods were really that powerfull why havent they killed the dragons before? Since the dragons if im not mistaken were there since the beginning?

Yeah i know for a story for guild wars 2 but i really want to know lore wise why? Havent they encountered the dragons before? And since the scroll of the five gods contain the names of the dragons i think they had.

This is not a complaint but i wonder if people would like to speculate with me:

Do you think we get some extra content for the release? Or do you think we wont see anything new till the release?

My hopes;

- They would release a huge event of random mobs spawning in area’s that should have been in the maguuma jungle.

- SAB for killing time

Your hopes?

lordkrall.7241:

^ Why do people keep assuming that they are not releasing it just to annoy people? Maybe there are actual reasons for it? Such as bugs and such that needs to be fixed but being put on the very end of the queue due to being very low priority.

If it has bugs why has it been released in the past?

I wonder if we could create an online particion to Arena net to reopen this box? Maybe if they see how many people sign it, that they reopen it?

If alot of people have intrest in this box, maybe the devs are reconsidering to reopen the box as a permanent dungeon?

Thank you!
