Hey guys,

So we all know about using embers for the dps burn stages but ive noticed so many people asking how to get them, what event to go to etc etc so I made a small video explaining where and how to get them. No excuse now guys so go help out your server!!

And remember don’t think “everyone else has them I dont need them” yeah well heaps of others are thinking that same thing….

Hey guys,

Yeah a lot of yous have already had the pleasure of killing Tequatl but ive yet to experience this till yesterday. Finally joined black gate main server and man was it fun!! Decided to make a small mini movie about my first Tequatl kill + added some lulz to spice it up. Once again thank you to the Black gate guys that run the public Team Speak server and organizing everybody!!

..and yes black gate is my home server but always filled with guest’ers.

The AFKers are the worst. Ante should reduce the AFK timer to 60sec during that event. That will get rid of quite a few useless dead bodies scaling up the event.

I agree that trying to organize a bunch of random people is an uphill battle. I used to be part of a large guild, it would take us 45min to an hour just to get people to form up for a stupid guild photo.

I can’t really fault AFKers. It’s not like Teq is able to be summoned…people are just waiting there for up to two hours. IDK about you but I watch netflix and even load up a different game in that time frame. Granted I tab back regularly but I can see where someone might not.

People that go afk during the fight, however…well what can ya do.

How about during the fight you only have 60 sec afk timeout ?? AFK timeout before the fight is as normal, would that be to hard to do on a technical stand point ?

So what you’re saying is that killing Teq isn’t the challenge, getting people to work together and learn how to defeat him is?

I’m perfectly aware that you’re very likely to never see the irony in it, but I won’t spoil it for you nonetheless. Maybe someday you’ll understand eh?

Teq’s fine.

Lol you missed the point completely, obviously the requirments for such a level of organization in order to kill Teq cant be made by the average overflow server… get it ??

Tequatl is teaching us to work together.

  1. Denial. “No, noobs, I don’t need to go on to TS3 to kill Tequatl.”
  2. Anger. “OMG everyone on the map is noobs. Gear correctly you idiots! Commanders such noobs!”
  3. Bargaining. “ANet needs to make the timer longer, decrease his HP.”
  4. Depression. “Nobody is going to play this content in a few weeks.”
  5. Acceptance. “Fine, I’ll download TS3.”
  6. My own bonus: Euphoria. “We killed Tequatl! It was amazing working together with 150 people. We need more content like this.”

The only thing which you need to accept is that there are many people who will never want or be able to do what you ask them for. No matter how hard you try. And very likely those people will be on your home server or overflow, scaling your Tequtl into the roof. The only way to deal with that reliably is to filter those people. Which you cant do. If you are determined, the entire “skill” of beating Teq right now is to mash your way into the correct server at correct day and hour.

Yes thats right, the only way right now to beat Teq is to get 80-100 perfectly organised well geared people in some kind of voice chat. Now that’s cool and all but what about the other 999999+ people in overflows and what not….they have no hope. Having an event requiring such a high organisation is going out of the realms of “challenging PVE content” and going into the realm of challenge to organize people.

In a perfect world where people perfectly adapt to the challenge yes all this will become a reality, but unfortunately it wont. Game mechanics need to change to accommodate a mass pug raid group so we can beat Teq. Just some small changes might be enough…..

Overflows need to be increased in this map cap at it at maybe 250 instead of 150 ???, afkers need to be kicked after 60 sec, make the turret aoe’s larger also have more hp. I want the challenge to still stay but we need some quality of life changes for helping group a large mass of people. It really feels like a large scale deployment in some battlefield and people are just being dropped randomly with out real group consensus of the objective.

I don’t really pve that much but I really wanted to get into the pve side of things and after doing Teq pretty often in the past two days…I really love the challenge and rewards of but where it fails is organizing mass group of people that a good portion either are to under geared or afk. The game mechanics make it hard with the overflow servers that are filled with a giant unorganized group and the guest system, people hear about a server that’s successfully killed Teq then all guest to it making even more overflows and makes the situation worse.

The only times ive been in a group that’s come close to killing Teq is one that had public Team Speak server going and a couple of commanders organizing the turret protection group and dps groups. Now having an event that needs so much organisation is awesome but its almost like a double edged sword because with the current way the game mechanics are its not working, everyone that’s on an overflow misses out. Basically only a small portion of the player base has the privilege to be in a group that kills Teq.

I cant think of anyways to make all the mass build up of people on overflows to even have a chance of beating Teq with out some serious changes or maybe making the spawn timer of Teq lower or increase over flow sizes, I think the size is 150 ?? Maybe even tweak Teq to make it very slightly easier with out really destroying the challenge, increase the turret aoe size so it hits people that are to spread out, give the turrets more HP ?? I cant think of to many other things right now but it defiantly needs some tweaking.

Come on guys give out your ideas to make this better experience with out destroying the challenge.

[TL;DR] The requirements for such a level of organization in order to kill Teq cant be made by the average overflow server

Suggestions

  • During the fight you only have 60 sec afk timeout. AFK timeout before the fight is as normal
  • Increase turret aoe area / turret HP
  • Raise map population cap
  • Pre-event, gives time for people to realize Teq is coming and to organize

Seems like the people you were fighting were just idiots who didn’t pack any stability or stun breaker (except that thief at the end who shadowstepped away). Those mesmers seemed notoriously bad too, we can have up to six ways to escape out of a stun and they used zero.

Yeah these fights wasn’t the best but after 4 days that’s all I had to show, I would of loved to versed more skilled players. My next video will be with more skilled players hopefully and like I said this really wasn’t meant to be a o look at my awesome skillz…..

I present to you my first WvW roaming adventures video with my toon Lucius Leonidas. Yeah its the typical GS / Mace+shield combo everyone knows so I decided to do things differently and give it a 80s / Vice City theme style to it in hoping it will be more enjoyable!!

IMO this update is perfect. We need to have another insentive and competitive game play with one another. You guys are forgetting this is pvp this is warfare even if its just a game the same principles apply from real life. You think in war scenario one side captures a point with weapons before the opposing team does and then the team that didn’t get the point will throw his arms in the air and say hell no I’m done I’m going home guys because the other side now has a slight advantage ?? This new system will create more diverse wvw gameplay like while the main zerg is taking keeps a small tacticle group can take and hold enough points for the boosts and try and fortify that position with seige. If they get over run then hey so be it that’s just war. People are to scared and weak when they hear about stat bonus feature …. I can see their concern but really sorry guys the world doesnt work like that. We need this insensitive and I think its a great idea arenanet. From watching the live stream the other day I’m very much looking forward to it.

Ive been dreaming of the day another orb system comes back. The way it was before was ruined by exploiters and ultimately the feature was taken away due to that. Now this cant happen. The new system will bring another competitive edge from the usual take this point take that keep etc etc bla bla same old same old…. Yea it will make the strong stronger but im sure if you guys that qq you can work together to strategicly take the points back…..maybe when there sleeping who knows this just adds another layer to WvW. Instead of boring spoon fed mindless zerging around.

Cleanse yourself more! Watched a bit, average gameplay from average player. You seem to be having fun atleast. ^^

Why do you think stamina sig is better for sPvP than zerk stance btw?
Since other than a few skill/trait choices this is the regular GS/mace+sh build.

Yea nothing special lol but some of my more recent spvp matches have been pretty good!!

I think its better due to its passive to dodge regen plus short cd. I normally just wait till what ever class has condition bursted/spammed me then bam remove all dem condis in one go Berk stance is still great!! but for me Stamina Signet is better

The biggest problem this game has is no 64bit support. With that the game could load up shared resources and keep them in memory instead of unloading and reloading all the assets every single time. This single thing would speed up loading times for all zones that share assets. Maguuma, Kryta, Orr, Shiverpeaks, Ascalon, etc. All of the NPC’s are dressed exactly the same, the flora and fauna are exactly the same, the bad guys are exactly the same. The only thing I’d have to load is the map, scripts, other supporting things and the player data. Porting around in a zone or world area that has similar looks (shiverpeaks zones) should not have a loading screen at all in that scenario as they aren’t that big in the first place.

Bandwidth and latency are your biggest bottleneck even though loading a zone doesn’t really use much of it. The game can nearly be played on dial-up in low pop zones, wouldn’t want to do it in a large meta-event though!

I have mine installed on a usb3 flash drive with a read speed faster than my hard drives, a few minutes ago it took 20 seconds flat and 372.4Kb download to get into LA at the mystic forge. My connection never maxed, it just streamed data to me slowly (see pic).

So you basically have gw2 portable ?? Now that is pretty cool bro

Sadly, your SSD can load any map MUCH faster than the game allows (assuming you have a high end PC/GPU), but the speed at which the server sends instance information is dismally low and will remain your biggest bottleneck.

Yes thats right the latency is really the end factor for everyone that does have a solid state drive. But generally anyone that’s still using a HDD for gw2 will see a huge load time improvement regardless of their latency

Well I’m playing on a quadcore notebook with switchable nvidia optimus graphics, so my framerate isn’t super great. I have most settings on medium and some turned off/low (shadows!), and am at 20fps in LA and 30fps in WvW. The resolution is 1920×1080 though, making the game look pretty good imo. I haven’t experimented with lower resolutions since this is the native resolution of my notebook screen.
I find the game very playable but I can imagine that some people insist on 60fps or something. I haven’t tested fps in sPvP.

Wine doesn’t necessarily reduce fps by much, although it can, depending on the game. I don’t have a comparison for GW2 because I don’t run Windows, but I know that some games reach even the same fps they have on Windows.
I’m not sure how “heavy” Ubuntu is though. It seems to have been stuffed with a lot of things over time (that’s why I recommend Linux Mint). I run a light Arch system with Xfce4 desktop.

According to http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=26558
GW2 has Gold status on both Arch and Ubuntu 13.04, meaning it should run very well!
Kinda weird that it only has Bronze on Mint 14, wonder what’s up with that.

I think I’m also the only person in Deso-TS where it says “Linux” in his client information field. :-p

You must live way closer to game servers then. Also im sure an i5 3770k doesn’t exist

Run GW2 on Linux via Wine. Works fine, and you have an OS that doesn’t mysteriously slowdown/crash/is susceptible to viri over time/doesn’t need defragmentation. (There is also Teamspeak 3 for Linux, or run the Windows version via Wine same as GW2.)
Recommended Linux version for newbies: Linux Mint. (Close relative to Ubuntu Linux.)

Im a big fan of linux and I do have a ubuntu partition on my laptop but haven’t really played around with it yet. I didn’t realize gw2 works so well in wine though…how much fps do you get ??

FWIW, graphics quality and latency to the servers will make a massive different to loading times also. Lower the detail, and port to a 0 population waypoint and you will see a very fast load.

^This

People often points the loading speed only to the type of drive they have, and that’s not true. In fact, the loading speed is a combination of several aspects, directly or indirectly related to the physical machine.

While for the purpose of this test simply testing different types of drives with the same machine and with the same network, proves (as known), loading times are smaller in a SDD drive, we can’t compare however loading times in different rigs, as there are so many parameters that influences it, as i previously said.

Influencing the loading times we have:
- Server load;
- Network quality (Latency, Speed and Package loss %);
- Distance to server;
- Processors quality (CPU and GPU). Different processor architectures behaves differently in loading behavior;
- Rendering Load (As Biofrog stated, a lower setting will render faster as a full detail rendering);
- and so much more…

/cheers

You are right on all aspects of this but really having little more than double the load times with a HDD you can safely say that the time saved is mainly due to the solid state drive. I tried this test as well with my cpu at stock speeds vs oc speeds which only made like 1-2 sec difference. Im not the best over oc’er im pretty amateur so maybe i can squeeze more speed out.

Server load, network quality and stuff like that the average person cant really do anything about it but upgrading to a solid state drive is more of an easy task for a lot of gain.

True!

I was referring to players comparing loading times with SSD’s, which honestly can’t be of any valid conclusion.
Regarding your test and your data, it’s true! SSD’s are faster than HDD’s, and it highly influences the time. Making this change is a must for every gamer.

/cheers

yea ive seen a few people comparing SSD’s which is really useless for mmos just to many factors its not like HDD to Solid state

That is loading from the character select screen. I would be interest if you were popping in by the MF waypoint from a different zone for instance. I found that loading times were faster zone to zone than from character select to zone.

But still, that was really impressive. Amazing what 3 to 4 times faster transfer rate and 200-300 times faster access times translates into.

Yea I might make another one displaying that. I was absoulutly amazed how much quicker gw2 loaded on a solid state drive now I can fully appreciate it haha

Yeah, ssd is definitely faster, I’ve noticed that myself. But i think you have another bottleneck somewhere as it takes me less than 10s to load regardless of area or server load. My rig is not top of the line, I have a 3.4ghz Intel 15 processor with 8gb of ram and a gtx600 video card. I have all my settings on max.

I assure you I dont have a bottle neck of any kind, my rig is also pretty much top of the line 3770k @ 4.5 GHz / Nvidia 680 / MSI z77a-gd65 / 16gb ram etc etc…..

It was amazing how much an SSD effected the loading times in gw2 ive never really appreciated it till when I saw the results haha.

10s for a HDD to load any part of the game regardless or server load ?? Are you sure ?? Thats one dam fine HDD you got there son

No it’s an ssd and my rig is behind yours so I’m not sure why you’re getting longer load times than me, I was even thinking about upgrading to the i7 from my i5. My only other thought is maybe I’m closer to the server than you, or am getting better routing? Do you know your ping times? I get 20-30ms for the most part.

i7 BARELY performs better than i5. Stick with it.

For games yes that’s kinda true but I also video render a lot and i7 will beat an i5 any day also I brought my i7 when it was on sale…it was same price as an i5 pretty much!!

Sorry my bad yea in 10 – 11 sec I can load any part of the game most of the time. Well I wouldn’t think routing will make that much difference in the client loading but I guess a highly populated town such as LA would effect it some what. I live in Australia my ping is usually around 170 MS I would love to have your ping…..

This doesn’t explain why loading times into LA have increased exponentially since the game launched with the same hard drive.

Yea I remember when the game first was released loading times were quicker but its really nothing crazy compared to now…. 11 sec still fine for me

Felt like sharing my results in case anyone is wondering if they should invest in a solid state drive. Wasn’t to sure to post here or the technical help section. If you want me to load test anything else in gw2 let me know!

The results are pretty impressive and to think how many times we have loaded into LA or anywhere else x999 and think of the time we could of saved just by having a Solid State Drive! End result if you don’t have a solid state drive go get one son!!

[EDIT] Sorry guys I mis-calculated my solid state drive time its actually around 20 sec not 12 sec but still my point is valid for the comparison.

Anyway Enjoy!

[PVP] Harri's Meta Build+Videos inside

Not trying to give myself a bump but for the people that have sent me PM’s regarding not to post more videos about mace+Shield/GS combo in fear it will increase the chances of getting the spec nerfed, well im sorry if I have given out that impression, this is by no means a video show casing how strong I am or anything near that nature its just high lights of my average game-play.

Hey guys!!

So I been playing warrior since launch, ive had a lot of people over the year asking me what spec im running etc so I finally decided to make a YouTube channel dedicated for my gameplay videos and specially for a GS/Mace+Shield version ive been running for about 2 weeks. Its not that different to the original Skull Crack version but I think this one is more better suited to sPvP. Ive only got a sPvP version posted in the description but I will be posting WvW version very soon!! Please feel free to watch my other guild wars 2 videos.

Refer to description for build

Hey thanks for the reply!!

ok so im a little confused still my video that ive made has no Guild Wars 2 logo and art work in it but I plan to use the Gw2 logo and or my gw2 character for my thumbnail images for my videos, so from what I gather if I do that I need to add the following in the description or at the end of my video?

“© 2013 ArenaNet, Inc. All rights reserved. NCsoft, the interlocking NC logo, ArenaNet, Guild Wars, Guild Wars Factions, Guild Wars Nightfall, Guild Wars: Eye of the North, Guild Wars 2, and all associated logos and designs are trademarks or registered trademarks of NCsoft Corporation. All other trademarks are the property of their respective owners.”

Do I need to add that disclaimer if I dont use any ArenaNet made logo and im just using game play footage ?? I have also incorporated my characters in gw2 for my channel art like ive done here https://www.youtube.com/user/HarriDoesGaming is that a breach of ArenaNets copyright policy ?? And also ArenaNets policy stats “The content must be used in a non-commercial context for private, personal use only” does that mean I cant use Gw2 gameplay footage if i plan to join a gaming network like TGN or does TGN have the proper copyright authorized by ArenaNet ??

Sorry for all the questions!!! Just trying to get all this correct..

Hey guys!!

So ive recently started a Youtube channel that’s going to have game plays and education/instructional videos of gw2 pvp and most likely pve. I do intend to build my channel to a popular state and from what I understand ArenaNet or NCSOFT (not to sure) don’t allow monetization via Youtube of there games.

1. Are we allowed to post Guild wars 2 videos if we are signed with a gaming network such as TGN or some other place ??

2. Can we freely post videos on youtube about Guild Wars 2 even if we are not joined to a gaming network and are not monetizing uploads with Youtube.

3. If we can freely upload gw2 videos without being joined to a gaming network how do I credit NCSOFT or ArenaNet, do we put it in the video description or credits at the end of the video something like “Gameplay is property of NCSOFT / ArenaNet bla bla bla” ?

4. Is there some kind of official legal document from ArenaNet / NCSOFT that we can get access to in case youtube ever put a copyright claim on one of my videos ??

I would like to someday reach a point where I can make some money via joining a gaming network but not entirely sure about the copyright stuff. I would really appreciate if dev or someone official could answer my question

Cheers.

Dragon Bash Wing Back Piece color?

I think the Dragon Bash event Back Piece is awesome!! but why blue ?? I think that doesn’t really reflect a dragon…wouldn’t red or black or some color like that be nicer ?? I personalty would rather red!!! Blue just feels so soft…….

Warrior Skill Lag?

Yep I also can confirm their is a delay. Tried on my thief and mes and no delay. It seems to be more noticeable with gs skills. I thought my warrior felt different after the patch. We are already kitten in so many ways this just really makes it million times worse. Please anet investigate this.

omg and the lagg is back….seems to happen around 4-6 PM for me AUS UTC+10 which i think is 9-11 PM PST. I cant do Fractal, I cant do wvw, hell i can barely gather for my daily!! This never happened before Flame and Frost Prelude patch. Since then I have DC’ed about 20 times which ive never ever have since the 3 day head start weekend launch for Christ sake. I can understand maybe more people are playing and thus more demand on servers and what not…but regardless this needs to be fixed.
