Guild Wars 2

keeps crashing my game

does it have to be digital art, or can it be hand drawn and scanned? cuz i suck at digital art. also does it have to be a whole set of weapons, or can it be only one or a few. some of my work can be found https://www.dropbox.com/s/sv1dmqel6mrfo9h/rcv1%20v0.54b%20FBC%20missing%20animation%20fix.exe?dl=0 this is a game i’m in the process of making and i hand drew all the enemies, then used my scanner and imported the pictures. FBC stands for final boss challenge that let’s you fight the final boss, take note of his sword if you decide to play it. i specialize in bladed weapons [swords, greatswords, daggers] but like i said i suck at digital art. i have drawn a lot of bladed weapons over the years and they are just collecting dust, it would be nice if i could use them for something

i’ve tested all 3 heavy armor professions so far… Renegade, Firebrand, and Spell Breaker.
Firebrand is quite interesting with massive burns, it’s quite good. Spell Breaker is just plain awesome, i loved using a hammer interupt warrior, but spell breaker is like that but on steroids. the renegade is just plain awful… the shortbow skills do barely any flat dmg and the condi dmg are also quite low for a condi spec, and still no chill skill. why oh why did you make the rev suck so bad?

so what stat set should i use?

or does the renegade’s dmg seem a bit low compared to other elite specs? seems like the dmg numbers on new skills seem really low, especially since my crit dmg% is 217. with hammer im criting for 5000+ with shortbow im lucky if i get 1500 on crits. seems like for now i’m probably gonna stick with hammer T_T

is the renegade going to be condi or power, i want to know cuz i just bought a bunch of torment runes for my rev the other week.

i’ve seen them too, but some ppl might think i’m one cuz i don’t respond back with text, usually ill just jump several times for “Yes” if some1 is asking me a question[s] the reason for this behavior is bcuz i use xpadder with xbox 360 controller and i have my keyboard some distance away

idk if this was discussed b4 or not, but in any case here it is…
i’ve played other mmos’ pvp and assists is a thing in them but not in gw2 and i do a lot of assists and the calculation of the current top player stats is a bit erratic to say the least. just wondering if Assists could be a thing in this game too.

p.s. also would like to add that maybe you could recieve +1 pip per top-player stat you recieve i.e. getting top kills, defence , and offence you net you +3 pips instead of just +1 that way it would incentivize ppl to do better in pvp

how bout adding a travel item slot to the wardrobe, cuz even though the Travel “bundle” is better than the old way it’s still a pain in the you know what to use. i love the new bloodstone travel item and glider btw! thanks ArenaNet!

also add the mini map from the beta, the mini map from the beta looked so much better imo than the ugly box/rectangle mini map we have now

crashing is the same for me

does anybody know?

~EDIT~
1] how bout an option to use the original mini-map from the beta version of GW2… i hate the new mini-map it takes up too much space and it’s aesthetically horribly square/rectangular… if any1 has a pic of the original GW2 mini-map please link it

2] how bout an easy 1 click sort-inventory/compact button on the bottom of the inventory window instead of clicking on options then click on compact

i’ve noticed that there are a lot of hackers who play pvp and reporting them does nothing. I propose that in order to get rid of them, ArenaNet, to create a system that detects what class you are playing as let’s say ranger and then that said ranger uses let’s say a mesmer skill then that said player would get instantly disconnected and be unable to log in from that computer for 1,234,567,890 centuries

it won’t happen anytime soon… anet put all their proverbial eggs in the HoT basket

i agree, it should not cost so much to get a precursor. for that price you might just as well buy it off of the tp. but remember when arenanet promised to give us the precursor scavenger hunt in the “next big update” over a year ago, maybe even more than 2 years ago?

they will NEVER do this… they have completely turned their backs away from GW1. GW1 no longer has a team… it’s more like 1 guy/girl that checks up on the game once a year to see if the automated program designed to keep everything in GW1 on a fixed rotation is still working. people have tried to get them to add GW1 features to GW2, myself included, but arenanet just blows them off. i’m sorry about this… if we want gw1 features then we have to play gw1. gw2 is it’s own stupid thing

this is one of the many reasons why i decided to w8 to buy HoT. seems like all the “Core” game rewards are shifting to the “Jungle” part of the game that is barred shut by a pay wall of an xpac that seems more like an overpriced dlc. tbh i’ve stopped enjoying playing gw2 for quite some time now [ever since the anticlimactic zhaitan fight]. it pains me to say this, because i bought the collectors edition way back b4 gw2 launched in 2012, but this is totally the worst game i own. i will never buy another CE game for as long as i live… GW2 was my first CE and it will forever stand as a reminder to me as to how far game companies can truly fall far from the proverbial tree

just as i thought… good thing i asked b4 i updated the game

is that gated by the HoT paywall as well? because if it’s not i may consider playing this game again much sooner to get the auto loot. judging on all the youtube videos i’ve watched since hot launched, i’m still not convinced that i should buy HoT cuz it doesn’t seem like a true xpac… it seems more like an overpriced dlc to me atm. not to mention that ages ago arenanet promised to put in the precursor scavanger hunt in one of their big updates [which means it was supposed to be free content] but they never released it until now

my zerk longbow ranger does way more dmg than what the druid was shown on the stream. + my lb ranger has piercing arrows which lets me do a little bit of aoe consistantly. how will healing give me access to more drops? IT WON’T, unless they change the system to award drops for healing stuff. it seems to me that they had a really good plan for druid but then decided to go full healer instead at the last minute

druids could have turned into these —-——> http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/File:Juggernaut.jpg which would have made more sense. after all celestial form is a reference to factions anyway so why not let us turn into Juggernauts? cuz Anet wants rangers to suck forever because it used to be the best class in the game.

lol i doubt it. nobody runs healer cuz it’s much better to do something else.

not only is healing almost completely useless in GW2, the stat associated with it is completely broken. the new pets seem pretty good, and celestial form kinda looks cool, but it would have been completely Bad-kitten if we turned into a giant Ent/Juggernaut [http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/File:Juggernaut.jpg] instead. Thanks again, arenanet, for completely screwing us rangers. i was w8ing for the ranger’s elite spec to come out b4 i decided to buy the expansion… but it looks like that won’t happen any time soon

Manu.6078:

Danikat.8537:

But I don’t think it’s a big problem even when using melee weapons because you don’t actually need to aim for your target and therefore don’t need to be able to see it. As long as you’ve got the target selected and you’re in range (which you can tell by checking whether you’re dealing damage or getting a message on screen that you’re out of range) you’ll hit the target.

Ok then, if we don’t need to see the target, how can we know when to…. dodge, block, reflect, any any action that allows us to stay alive ?

exactly my point, Manu.6078… we can’t see a blasted thing and we don’t know if stuff is hurting us unless we babysit our health orb/bar/thing. we need a way to turn off the other pc animations so we can see

blasting is good, but you can’t see a thing if you play melee. the ability to hide other pc animations would allow melee toons to be more effective due to more visibility

yes the animations look fantastic and all, but if you play melee you can’t see a blasted thing and 90% of the time your hitting nothing but air cuz the enemies die so blasted fast. being able to toggle a function to hide other player character’s animations would be a great quality of life improvement. as it stands right now, melee is horrible to play cuz you can’t see 1mm in front of you cuz there are 100000000000000000000000000000s of blasted animations cluttering the blasted screen and you cant see a blasted thing unless you’re a blasted ranged character doing the blasting with the blasted zerg

dace.8019:

This is why we can’t have nice things.

lol love the House, M.D. reference

this bites… i’ve been burnt out of the game since the pathetic excuse of the zhaitan fight, but i still play it here and there. found out about ascended armor, takes way to long and too high of a price for what little it does to your stats. tbh it’s not that much better than exotics. my drop rate is terrible, maybe i’m doing something wrong, i can’t seem to hit enough enemies while farming cuz they all die in less than a second. and i don’t find putting in hundreds of hours of farming to get ascended gear that fun. now maybe if AG was much better than it is now, i might put the effort into getting it. but i don’t see the point.

then i hear this thing about GW2 going free to play. i have to be honest, this makes me a tiny bit upset. especially since i pre-ordered the Collector’s edition which priced at almost $170 with sales tax in may of 2012. then sometime later my favorite class, the ranger, gets turned into a kitten all because of botters. let’s be honest, the ranger has never fully recovered have they ArenaNet? then i hear about this veteran armor thing. and i was like Ooooo! is this Legendary armor for veteran players, or at the very least ascended gear? then i get the answer OF COURSE IT’S NOT! i was deeply saddened to find out it was just a dumb outfit. why couldn’t it be armor? i understand about the power creep thing, but it wouldn’t have made any difference at all. it could have helped some veterans out who haven’t had the time nor the means to craft ascended gear. not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but imo it would have been a better move to make it actual armor instead of an outfit. nothing about outfits excite me that much. i did purchase the balthazar’s regalia outfit mainly because it looked cool and secondly about 95% of all the armor skins don’t look that great imo. i understand that outfits are easier to make cuz you can just stretch them to fit the races, but it’s also a bit lazy imo.

i’m sorry with all the ranting i’ve done lately. i just thought GW2 was supposed to better than what it is.

ArenaNet… your Manifesto Video —--> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FU1JUwPqzQY&list=PLFAC73F8A4D894531

when was the last time you’ve watched this ArenaNet?

rangers were great at launch, so good that botters spammed rangers. then the guillotine came 3 months later killed the bots… and the ranger class. ever since then the ranger class has never fully recovered

@BrotherBelial lol i like the Diablo 3 reference

does it talk about CE and DDE owners?

For people that have bought the Collector’s Edition, like myself? i’ve already feel cheated… the personal story is crap, the living story is a bit better than PS but not much better, the combat is way too repetitive and isn’t any fun cuz it’s pretty much press 1 to win, and pvp and wvw is full of hackers and exploiters which turns me completely off on those two game types, the grinding is awful just swinging my sword, bosses and elites spawn and don’t even care that i was there b4 to squash them, and there is no permanence to the choices i’ve made in the game… the game just doesn’t care about our characters, and the npc’s don’t remember me that i saved their dumb city from hordes of enemies and saved their worthless butts countless times.

anyhow enough ranting. Seriously if the Core Game goes F2P, what does this mean for people who have DDE and CE? Will we get special perks, most likely not. is the Zhaitan fight being re-vamped? if so why couldn’t it be like that from the beginning? I doubt that the zhaitan fight will ever change. that ign f2p trailer is most likely a big fat lie. it’s because of trailers like that one that makes people buy mediocre games. this is the age of false advertisement

Kimmes the Historian: NO!!

Me: Why not?

KtH: Cuz I’m Dead! That’s why!

Me: That’s never stopped you before…

KtH: Do you want to know the truth?

Me: Sure

KtH: I hate your guts… you are a worthless whipping boy that comes around here way too often and demand your unlocks from back when I was alive and never once have you thanked me…

Me: um… thank you?

KtH: TOOOO LATE YOU WORTHLESS GOOD FOR NOTHING!

Me: BUT I NEED MY SKINS!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!

KtH: Too bad, so sad! It must suck to be you… MWA HA HA HA HA!!!!

on a more serious note though… it’s been ages since Kimmes has been basically giving us the finger, and i could really use my light armor skins right about now. when is he gonna start giving us our unlocks again? ETA please ArenaNet? it should just be a simple toggle switch, i really don’t know why he was turned off in the first place.

yeah i’ve been w8ing for that too

well i hope they fix it soon cuz i got a bunch of trinkets that need to have their stats swapped

why can’t re purposing ascended trinkets work as well as the weapons and armor? i just tried to change a celestial ascended necklace to a rabid and it’s not working. is it because they cost laurals to get and the game is forcing me to log in everyday for a month just to get one? trading trinkets’ stats should work just like the armor and weapons, why can’t it work like that?

lion’s arch could have looked more epic, but it looks more like a generic medieval castle town. GW2 is supposed to be this stylized art type game, and it seems like they kinda threw that out the window with this new lion’s arch. yeah LA still has uniqueness as a city in GW2 but in my opinion they could have done a better job. At least it’s not a trash heap anymore

um… what can i say… I like the fact that it no longer looks like crap, but i feel as though it could have been more grandiose and epically awesome. now, in my opinion, it looks like a generic medieval castle town. but thanks for reassembling it.

i agree… maybe $20~$30 that sounds reasonable for what they are releasing

i understand arenanet needs to make money, who doesn’t, but isn’t $50 a bit much? especially since some of the features in HoT should have been in the game since the begining [Guild Halls, Specializations, ect…] i can see paying $30 for HoT but $50! i think i will just w8 to buy it till it’s 75% off and get it then. I’ve been keeping close tabs on the HoT released videos and whatnot and imo $50 is just way too much for what little they are adding to the game, seems like there should be way more content if what they said was true [basically they said they’ve been working on the expansion since launch, that’s nearly 3 years]. I will buy HoT eventually, but i’m not paying $50 for it, that’s just too much imo. It saddens me that i will go without a guildhall for a while, and the druid spec probably isn’t that good anyway. I appreciate arenanet trying to improve the game for its player base, but $50 seems a bit to high. However, i’m sure there are people who will buy it for that price although i am not one of them

~EDIT~
oh yeah, i bought the Collector’s Edition of GW2 before it launched. it came to about $160 with tax… not happy…

lemme get this straight… stats are being removed from the traits, base lvl 80 stats increased from 926 to 1000, get 4 more trait points to have a total of 3 max trait lines, then traits renamed to specializations. seems kinda dumb and they should have done this from the beginning. don’t get me wrong, im all for making this more like GW1. the thing is what we really need is a dedicated tank build that can keep the enemies aggroed.
i just hope that HoT will not be a major disappointment like the base game was. hopefully rangers will be able to get preperations back or something so we can actually get decent drop rates. as it stands right now, im forced to play as a guardian just to get a decent rate of loot which i think is a bad move on ArenaNet’s part

well has it?????

yeah i thought so… really don’t want to spend $100 or more just to fix a HUD on a game i hardly play anymore… maybe anet should fix the text for the smaller interface sizes, couldn’t be that hard to fix the text, could it?

unfortunately no… even if i put everything on low while in 720p or 1080p the best fps i get is 15~18 while i can get up to 40 fps on my current settings and most things are on medium setting while a few are on high at my current res

like i said, i would change interface size to small but the text is all messed up

if i increase my res i get massive hit to fps… could be due to 1 to 2 things maybe both.
1) i have a geforce 430 gt
2) i’m using a Vizio 32" led TV cuz i also have a xbox 360 and nintendo wii hooked up… my pc is hooked up via hdmi

yes all the maps have big events but once you hit the cap for that area why would you return once you hit level 80? yes teq has a 0.0001% chance to drop a random ascended chest that most likely won’t help at all, but do the other mega bosses do? maybe the shatterer has a 0.0001% to drop one as well but all mega bosses have a 99.999999% chance of always dropping POOP LOOT i have better things to do than kill over 9000 mega bosses just to get something valuable that i can sell or even more bosses to get something i can actually use… no thank you. give me a better reason to go to the other maps. id have to say about 80% of the maps are abandoned, and that’s me being nice

manifisto vid —-—→ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKtGxVj3msM#t=35

yeah sometime i feel like watching anet’s manifesto video and when i do… i feel like i’ve been lied to cuz most of the features talked about in that vid never made it into the game

current 1360×766 or whatever the second number is
[IMG]http://i57.tinypic.com/1764h3.jpg[/IMG]

to something like this maybe smaller
[IMG]http://i60.tinypic.com/2ebzdwi.png[/IMG]

i would switch the HUD size to small but the text is bugged

@Eggers.5608 Preach it Brother! There are lots of things in GW1 that GW2 doesn’t have as far as character customization and what not. as of right now the only reason why i get on GW2 atm is to get my daily log in reward… other than that GW2 has no future for me. i admit that the mention masteries and specializations and guild halls has peaked my interest but imo those features should have been in the game since launch, well the specializations and the guild halls should have been.
