Guild Wars 2

After much anticipation we have ascended salvaging! As I’m sure many of you have done, such as myself, you have saved many rings over the last few months. Please let it be noted that ascended salvaging, at the moment, at least for rings, is worthless. I’m sure this has been discussed somewhere but here i go anyway. I bought a 20 ascended salvage tool for 20g and 40 relics. The return, you ask? 93 Stabilizing Matrices. Of little use to me at the moment i noticed you could sell them on the TP. The price you ask? just over 16g, not including fees. So after much wait and hope for ascended salvaging we have been given this. While i understand drop rates vary, etc. There is no actual benefit from salvaging rings at the moment. If you want these Stabilizing Matrices to get encryption keys or other reasons you can just buy them from the TP for cheaper than salvaging them yourself. My person note, I implore you to either wait until they are worth salvaging for marginal profit or sell them for to 4.95 silver like before.

Continuing my earlier post. I have now dowloaded well over 15gb total. The last ~8000 file remaining have cause me to download up to 2gb worth while remaining at 0%. I have repaired, deleted local, and even uninstalled McAfee. I have downloaded at least 1gb or more 5+ times and it remains 0%. To further test theories i had i repeatedly launched and closed gw2 launcher as i noticed each time the remaining files decrease by 2-3. While this is amusing, i do not wish to have to open and relaunch another 3000+ times. Clearly there is an error with my client acknowledging what data it already has. Please look into this as i have been unable to play since launch. I have tried but once in game i get multiple disconnects as well as the cutscene for the prologue being missing, causing it to freeze.

I’ve downloaded a running total of 10+GB not sure of the actual size. With my limited internet 150-200kbps I’ve had to stop the download to take care of various things throughout the day. The first few hours from overnight got me about 70% done. From that point I’ve had to stop periodically, each time getting about 1GB done before stopping the download. However each time, despite downloading 1GB it remained at 0% and no file remaining changes either. This matter has become infuriating as i can’t play any new content nor go about my business elsewhere without stopping the download. It feels as though i’m getting nowhere with the download. I hope this was easy to understand. Thanks
