Guild Wars 2

Hello!

I decided to come back and check GW2 after the new patch and I keep getting Launcher crashes so I can’t really download the game.

won’t let me post the crash info because it says the messege is too long so I deleted the last few lines..

I submitted the full crash report via the launcher.

Compare this: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Shadow_of_the_Mad_King

The last Halloween not only had more content than this one but also added alot of other content outside of Halloween (Mini-Dungeons.Jumping Puzzles,The Modus Sceleris and the Skritt Burgler etc).

This holiday seems to be really lacking compared to last year..

Thats no excuse really,if they are BOTH going to recycle all the old content AND prolong it Double the time of any other living story (4 weeks!) then the least they can do is put enough new/fresh content to keep you entertained for at least half of that time..

If this is all,this update is a major disappointment..

Seemed rather short and boring compared to last year,lacking background etc.

I can only imagine we haven’t seen it all,can any dev confirm we can look forward to something more?

Nice waste of 3-4 Hours,GJ Anet,rare bug? half my guild has it.
Superb Q&A.

Humlae.1234:

Melandru is great…. should make it hit harder though.

I think Grenth would be better if the room was bigger. The floor space makes not dodge rolling yourself into another aoe a bit tricky.

Yep,I think the room needs to be bigger or the AoE’s need to be smaller

By far the best patch I’ve seen when it comes to revamping…

Grenth is hard as hell and requires teamwork and tactics like never before – Truly the Reaper of Death!

The mobs new sizes are finally making them look fearsome and the new visual changes to Orr really make you feel like you have an impact on everything you interact with.

Boss music is great and really gets you into the mood of fighting a boss rather than farming a mob.

Great work Anet!

Lets say I did the dungeon once,went out and then again an hour later,will it count as my Even number run and spawn the big boss?

If I go out and back in does it count as 1 or 2?

Am I missing something?
Wasn’t it stated each 3 mini’s theres 1 big boss or smth?

What kind of MMO cant handle 100-150 people at one spot?

Makes all events Anet does a complete waste of time.

were all currently dying on the floor because we can’t heal or ress ourselves lol

GG.

7870 owner here,getting 15 FPS in LA since launch lets see if this version fixes it

A few weeks ago when I talked to people over here about getting my legendary precursor they told me to “stop wasting my money” and farm the other mats which will net me the required gold to buy a precursor when I’m done farming them.

Right now I have 150 gold and every single gift and item beside the Precursor itself.

I’ve played 14 hours in one day to try and catch up to the precursor price but in one day price went up by 50 gold and the same happened again the next day.

So what am I supposed to do? I’ve dumped around 1000 rares and 800 exotics into the forge and got nothing yet some random who dropped 4 random different rares into the forge got a precursor…
How is he more legendary than me,putting 500 hours into the game and trying to get one item while another guy gets lucky.

Don’t get me wrong,If this comes out as kittening or whining its not my intention,my intention is to show right now The precursor acquisition methods and % are absymal and mark more of a gamble than doing anything legendary.

I understand Anet have no intention of Lions Arch being full with people running with legendaries but In the end this is a terrible way to handle it,as it just leads to frustration – theres nothing fun in crafting a legendary atm and in the future you should consider making it a big epic quest involving all of the events and bosses around the huge world.

Problem solved,with the recent patch GW2 became Incompatible with Overclocked CPU’s once the default settings are restored to the CPU the game runs smooth..

you guys gotta stop ninja tweaking..

I had the same issue,if your CPU is overclocked in any way (even with the default program that comes with your CPU) it will kitten up the game with the recent patch,I had to default my CPU because even if it was OC’d by 1% it would dip to 5 FPS..

ever since you updated the game on the 07/10 I started getting Absymal FPS and lag,getting 10 FPS everywhere on my AMD 7870 2GB Ghz Edition Graphic CArd and my i5@650 CPU.

CPU usage goes up to 100% and GPU seems to be a none factor..

Overclocking does not work,I have no clue what you guys are ninjaing in these patches but right now I can’t move in Lions Arch..

Dev response please..

Some people reported getting them from doing dungeons off mobs and off mobs in the cursed shore.

I personally saw 2 people getting them from Temple Events:

I saw someone getting The Legend at Malendru event from the chest and someone getting Dawn or Dusk at from the “Take the gates of Arah” end chest.

This is making me wanna stop and sell all the mats I’ve prepared to craft it..

Looks like utter crap compared to the GS’s and their attack animations..

first time I ever finish Arah dungeon,45 tokens instead of 60..

nope not bugged,just a terrible dungeon layout.
We got Lupicus to 30% finally but thanks to thiskitten 1 min run everyone died and he healed up.

Sad part is that some paths have a closer waypoint to him so I really don’t understand what the dungeon designers were thinking because Arah is 400% harder than all the other dungeons and by Hard I don’t mean difficult its just frustrating,Elites everywhere with the sole intention of slowing you down and not really challanging you.
Crappy rewards for a 3-4 hours dungeon.

We ask Anet to buff dungeon rewards and what do they do?
They put a 60 token reward upon completion.(realising people will now do dungeons maybe 1-2 times a day)
you have any Idea how crappy it feels to get so far after playing for 4 hours in the same dungeon and just giving up and leaving because everyone are sokittenfrustrated?
We were so demoralised we just closed the game yesterday and stopped playing.

Arah Dungeon doesn’t need a nerf nor a buff.

It needs to be redesigned,tuning things down abit will help,but ending up repairing up to a 1-3 gold is plain wrong.

We gave up after 3 hours,was just too frustrating..

You can do CoF in around 30 – 40 minutes and get 60 tokens while it takes a couple of hours to finish Arah and get the same amount of tokens…
totally unrewarding,only reason I’m forcing myself to do it is due to the fact I need 250 more tokens for the gift of zaithan..
Considering giving up on crafting The Bitfrost just due to how much of a grindy and frustrating dungeon this is..

How can you compare it to ANY of the other dungeons?

Alright so after doing around 30+ tries,with level 78 exotics and level 80 rares (Full 4 exotics and then 4 full rares).

I came to the conclusion the system is so random and without any kind of guideline its simply a waste of money.

In most of my 4 rare staffs attempts I got a rare staff back,sometimes getting lucky and getting a pearl weapon,actually making profit to cover 3 past fail attempts with that money.

I noticed when using a level 80 rare Orrian Staff of the Traveler 4 times in the mystic forge,I got 3/4 times a rare staff named Berserker Staff of Accuracy,so I’m betting there is a better formula to increase % of getting The Legend of Rage,Maybe if you use Rage oriented staffs it has better chances.

with the level 76-78 exotics I used,I always got a pearl weapon or some kind of 80 equivalent that I sold at worst case for 2g (while Investing 4-4.5 gold per an attempt).

There must be something we haven’t discovered yet because as Bill said in another thread,there are Multiple ways to get the Base Exotics weapons to get a legendary,if only one of the devs would confirm there are stuff that we haven’t discovered regarding that matter maybe people would start inquiring and experimenting.

Right now from what I’ve seen you can get a Base Exotic weapon for Legendary crafting in the following ways:

•Loot drop off a mob in Cursed Shore (Seen one guy getting it and wearing it infront of me)
•Placing 4 level 75+ Rare/Exotic Weapons of the same type in the Mystic Forge.
(A person on Guild Wars 2 Guru reported putting 4 random weapons of the same rarity and getting a base weapon as well)
•Loot from the chest at the end of a world Event (Temple God Events,Arah Gate Takeover event and The two Dragons)

Does anyone has any Input he would like to share about his experiences getting a Base Weapon?How he got it?What did he put in the mystic forge to get it and what did he learn during his fail attempts with it?(see my input on the Orrian Staff of the Traveler)

Thanks.

Fully agree,it started off fun but ended up being a complete joke and source of frustration can Anet please clarify what are the ways to make a legendary precusor?
Its enough you state it can still be made in the mystic forge.dropped out in the world and god knows where else but atleast TELL us what did you guys change and what you kept in place.

You are making people waste alot of their money on trying to get these precursor weapons when infact they have 0% of doing so because you blocked that path.

A clarification from Anet is more required than ever.
