Guild Wars 2

Don’t do a repair. It takes too long.

Delete GW2’s temporary file so it has to regenerate the file. You’ll only lose your graphics and sound settings but that’s it.

It fixed it for me.

Go here: C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Guild Wars 2 and delete the “Local.dat” file.

Just want to confirm this one on my end as well.
By doing this, it fixed my issue as well.

Thank You!

meh, I will just play it casually to kill time until other games come out, lol.

to be honest, I’m a casual player, I log on everyday and do some dungeon daily to generate gold then if I have time, I continue with map exploring, heart quest, POI, etc.

But now that dungeons have been nerf by a large margin, my income also lowers, lol. Again, it just a game, but it’s really disheartening, lol.

I will hold of the purchase of HoT for now, thanks for the info.

ahhhhhhh, dang. That really blows, haha. I can understand why they did, but I’m not thrilled about it, lol.

Ah well…

Returning player here, just wondering what kind of nerf are talking about? I Google’d about it, but couldn’t find anything solid.

My question is – did they nerf the Daily Dungeon reward? I think that’s what you call it.
like everyday after you finish the dungeon once (first time of the day) you get a bonus chest with 1g+ gold, did they nerf that as well?

Thank You!

That’s great to hear.
I had a lot of fun with Guardian, but I’m a bit worn out on the same class since launch, I find Engineer to be one of its kind play style, all the gadget. kits, etc. Very interesting class.

Currently, I’m thinking about using Pistol/Shield and Flame Thrower, will this combo be a decent PvE combo?

Thank You,

Thanks WEXXES!

I just made an Engineer, let’s see how fun he is

Hello all,

Since the new patch has came out, I was wondering how is the current Engineer doing? I have only one character since launch, which is a Guardian, but now I want to try something new and Engineer looks fun.

So yeah, I’m a huge fan of PvE/Dungeon/Fractal, not so much on PvP, very occasion WvW, so main focus is PvE/Dungeon.

How is Engineer right now in those departments?

Thank You all!

thanks for the update, today was the first time I complete the map

Hello,

I just returned back to GW2 after a break, I decided to do some map completions and today I finished Lion’s Arch, but I did not receive anything.

Is this intended?

Thank You!

same, crashed again.

I can empathize with having a busy life and not always being able to fit my gaming schedule in between work, home life, and social commitments. Your comments are not lost on us.

We’re exploring some ideas for the future, including a system that would allow certain bits of Living World content to be accessed independent of the release. Plans and designs have not been solidified yet, so I want to temper your expectations. But if you have any opinions on the matter feel free to let us know. We’re already looking at ways to leave some LW content behind to evolve Tyria and improve the game. This would be one element of it, should we decide to build such a feature.

Or the team can make a “Past Story” where players can revisit these contents, get their achievements and etc.

Now, you have a Living Story where the story goes on and a Past Story where adventures can still revisit what they may have missed.

Not only it offers replay value, it also offers more contents where players don’t need to feel they are being rush to get everything done. Now they can take their time enjoy the story while get their achievements, etc.

“Living Story” & “Past Story”

Leroy.7145:

Nothing to much original i think, but i just like a lot the “Heavy Knight” look that this armor gives Still tring to find a good color combination.

May I ask what are the pieces to make this look?

Thank You

Fenrir.3609:

An ANET dev will watch this then nerf Orr some more.

lol

Yargesh.4965:

Be very cafeful around the karka, drakes and welll everything on the island. You are capable of survival since I did it on a lvl 60 thief and lvl 60 necro but these are not your usual mobs.

Thanks for the heads up! I’m a AH Build Guardian, but I solo most of the time, so not sure how much AH would help me in this case, I just turn 60 and gears are just green from TP. My first and only character, so I don’t have the spare coins to pimp myself yet haha.

Oh my gears are green indeed, but I upgrade them every 5 levels, probably won’t make that much of a difference, but better than nothing lol.

Thanks Harbinger! Now, I just need to get to level 80 :P

oh ok, sweet, then I’m heading to Southsun later!

thanks everyone!

Wow, thanks for all these info! Now I got it!

I’m only level 60 atm, so perhaps I need to level up more before I attempt Southsun Cove, I saw post saying Southsun Cove is really hard, I assume it’s a level 80 content..

Thanks everyone!

Yeah, I was just interested in the story. I guess I also misunderstood the concept of living story, so it’s a story that constantly moving forward. I was under the impression of the story will keep expanding BUT also keep the old content, so player who didn’t do it the first round can still have a chance to do it.

That’s ok though I was just looking for a change of pace haha. Are all Living Story linked? or is this Southsun Cove is a standalone Living Story?

Thanks!

Harbinger.8637:

Note: This build is heavily based on Brutaly’s AH hammer build, so all props go to him.

High damage and survivability is what everyone wants, and that’s what you get with this build! Impossible you say, no very possible. Follow this build and you will feel like a champ.

Lets go over the most important part first, gear. Without the right gear even the best build is bad.

Hi Harbinger,

I just want to say thank you for this wonderful guide. However, I do have few concerns and hope you or anyone can provide some insight or constructive feedback on it.

I just returned back to Guild Wars 2 after a long break, so I’m starting over and my Main and Only character is Guardian he just turn level 60.
Soon, I will get him to level 80 and I was wondering, for a new starter without much of financial backup how should I proceed with my end game gears?
I was thinking start with Rare, then Exotic. But this just a simple goal, I was hoping perhaps you could provide some suggestions on what is a good starting point to get gears. Like Perhaps focus on xyz dungeon or farm Karma for a Karma set or mix match Karma set from these locations.

Thanks!

tl;dr: LS: F&F, is it still live or did I miss it. How can I start the quest?

Hi fellow Guild Wars 2 players,

I’m a recent returned player and while I browse through Guild Wars 2 wiki and forum, I encountered this interesting new content, Living Story: Flame and Frost.

After few search here and there and Google, I couldn’t find a definite answer for my question. Does Living Story: Flame and Frost still “Live”? Meaning, can I still do it or did I miss my opportunity with it.

If I missed it, that’s a shame, I just like the change of pace aside from dynamic event, heart mission, WvW and personal story. Don’t get me wrong, they are all fun, but this Living Story concept is definitely interesting.

So if I didn’t miss it, how do I start it? The wiki is a bit of confusing, I did read it few times, but if you guys could actually give me a quick start on how to start the quest, that would be awesome!

I can imagine your horror… I don’t have a legendary, not even close, not event close to close, lol.

But, just the thought of putting so many hours into it and lose it for any reason, would make me going into shock and hospitalize, perhaps even therapy session…

Play guardian, equip sword+focus/ greatsword or staff and you are OK

Or I could play on my Engi main and have unlimited speed boosts thanks to that amazing trait where simply swapping kits allows it.

whaaaaaat? That’s awesome haha, I don’t have an engineer nor I understand their skills (never really look into it, Guardian myself)

But yeah, I agree with the running speed. My thought on the matter is…

I’m fine with the slow effect from cripple, freeze, etc. However, I wish I don’t lose a huge chunk of my moving speed simply because an enemy hit me while I’m running across the map to get to an event, or just for the sake of traveling.

I can even accept the fact they keep the slow movement speed in PvP but re-work it in PvE.

I’m quite happy with the amount of updates in GW2, but I wish more of it was permanent.

We’ve been playing around so far this year with a lot of different concepts to see what works for a living world game, and see what players liked and didn’t like. Based on all of your feedback, you’ll be seeing a greater degree of permanent content built into future living world releases in 2013. And of course, some things you’ve seen before may return again, in its current form but updated like SAB or holiday festivals, or in a new form entirely….

We’ve got a few more updates coming more along the lines of what we’ve done so far in the vein of holiday festivals, but as the year progresses we’re going to layer more permanent changes and content as well with each living world release. I’ll toss a blog post up in a couple of weeks that outlines high level, where we’re taking our living world style updates specifically in the future for more clear transparency once we’ve got it all ironed out.

As always all of your feedback and comments are greatly appreciated, we’ll continue to adapt and grow this strategy and concept as we go. As we’ve said before, we’re trying something very new and different here, and in some ways we’re learning along with all of you how we make a living world style game work.

Good stuff, keep up the good work!

As a gamer, so far, GW2 is the only game that I have played (or remembered, lol) that has official communication with players this often.

Once again, keep up the good work!

lol @ the tl;dr, that kitten is funny haha

Long answer short, you can refer to the AH Build. It can potentially utilize all weapons at Guardian’s disposal. Of course it is centered with Hammer, but nonetheless, it has a lot of flexibility.

Hi All,

I purchased the game as soon as it came out and played for a while, but due to personal reason, I have left the game for several months, yesterday was my first time return back to Guild Wars 2 and I want to start over on my character.

TL;DR
Looking for a Warrior DPS Build template that’s based on 2H&Axe/Shield (PvE)

Build Request:

I’m aware tons of new contents and patches had been deployed since my leaving and I actually have some catch up to do regarding to the new aspect of the game.

I want to make a DPS warrior that’s focusing on PvE, if it’s possible, Solo and Dungeon. My first time playing Guild Wars 2, I remember many warriors running Signet Build, but it wasn’t helpful in Dungeons.

So bottom line is… I just came back and not very funded in the money department, but I’m fine with that, I’m willing start from scratch and build my way up to where everyone is.

My preferred playstyle:
Warrior: 2H & Axe/Shield (Or anything */Shield)
Environment: PvE-Solo-Dungeon
Crafting: Welcome for suggestions (Thinking about Chef and Armor or Weapon)
Server: DarkHaven – Guesting: Tarnish Coast

P.S. eventually, I will bring all available weapons based on the situation, but, nonetheless, I would prefer 2H and */Shield during my solo play.

Thanks fellow Guild Wars 2 players, I appreciate all your constructive input!
