Don’t see how this is a discontinuity. We saw him wielding Caladbolg in S2, and even then 2 years had passed since the fight with Zhaitan.
Edit: And the Orr maps are stuck in time to before Zhaitan’s death, so it wouldn’t show.
Well I know that they are stuck in time, but since he was wielding Caladbolg in S2, does that mean that Orr is fully cleansed lore-wise? Because we have been given no snippets on how Orr is doing since we have defeated Zhaitan so I was just wondering.
So, playing through the main personal story Trahearne places Caladbolg in the artesian waters to purify Orr, yet in the HoT story we get an item that is a broken Caladbolg. So are we safe to assume that Orr is purified? Since Trahearne said he did need to leave it behind until the place was purified iirc.
Which god forged those chains? Balthazar I’m assuming correct?
Also, what happened to Abaddon’s main henchman the fortuneteller? Surely he/she (cant remember) must still be around?
So just a quick question here I thought about while playing gw2. When abaddon died and Kormir absorbed his energy, what happened to his body? Since it is shown that normal beings can be elevated to godhood (ie Grenth), wouldn’t that mean that gods can be cast down back to normal beings? If so, I would love to see a cast down abaddon with no god powers as whatever his original race was (human right?).
Or did Anet just pull a whole “he’s really dead this time” thing?
I noticed that the elite skill doesn’t have a cooldown. I don’t think they mentioned it verbally on the POI? I wonder what the actual cooldown will be.
Other than that, I really appreciate the fact that they have gone through many iterations of Daredevil. The end result looks great!
From what I heard it’s a 38 second cd.
Staff seems like ove weapon to me. Animations are too long and not enough utility for pvp.
Physical are nice but locked to spec and can be countered by dazes/blinds/body blocking etc.
Traits are probably most interesting aspect, seems like it can go well with acro. However i don’t see that trait line going well with d/x builds. Meaning it is s/x or gtfo. Kind of boring.
It can most definitely go with d/x due to dodges being leaps now. (blinding powder and dodge means free backstab).
Just finished watching the POI. Jesus, that Daredevil looks great. Any comments/cool things you noticed? I loved when he said that the team was thinking about putting all 3 of the grandmaster dodges on the dodge bar and have them bound to each dodge(Bound would be 3rd dodge bar, whirl 2nd, dash 1st) but they said it was too complicated.
I have a feeling that dash will not be used as much as bound or whirl since it isn’t a leap. They might want to sweeten up dash to make it more viable.

IGN: The Void Treader
Thief Type: Artisan
Server: Fort Aspenwood
Experience with thief: Played it since launch and have tinkered with most builds as well as trying out new ones that have failed or succeeded (Using S/D effectively before larcenous buff). I’m open to anyone’s questions or opinions and I feel like this would be a great opportunity to get to talk with people of similar or greater experience with the thief. I enjoy teaching new people as well on basics but I haven’t done it often due to a lack of people actually wanting to play thief that I have seen.
Obviously we are getting SF farming back <3. Now… where’s my Bone Dragon Staff?
Holy mother of God the sheer stupidity of the people who are equating something virtual to real life is astounding. Even if it’s just an annoyance, don’t you have a life to live outside of your room? Correlation isn’t causation, I’d have hoped at this point in humanity’s existence everyone would have a mere modicum of logic. Truly pitiful.
Yea the challenge mote for Meeting the Asura is bugged for me as well. Relogged a few times and no solutions. Whatever, I’m just hoping that Anet can fix it soon so I can finish up my Luminescent Armor.
So is hidden killer the way to go in PvE or Executioner?
Im simply curious what has higher sustained DPS in pve, backstab or unload spam? And does anyone have the math for it?
You are the only person to make me log in to the forums just so I can reply. So bravo on that. Second, orgasmically awesome recruitment message.
And thirdly, I’ve been on FA since the start and all i can say is that we just keep on keepin’ on. We have weathered other servers implosions, update catastrophes, new games releasing, and we are still going strong because of our server attitude. You want to pvp, go ahead, you want to wvw all day? Theres tons of people right there with you, you want to make a flame ram facing the cliff and use the #2 skill for trolls and completely disregarding ppt cause thats not what you are feeling today? You better get your CoF p1 farm on cause you will love it here!
So I was looking through the thief traits again while some guildies were theorycrafting and noticed that the only shortbow trait is +5% damage in the shadow arts traitline.
Does anyone else think there should be more shortbow traits to give it more variety? Some that come off the top of my head are: Infiltrator’s arrow gives stealth and extra bounce for #1 skill (with appropriate damage reduction for the bounce).
Post your thoughts and any ideas you have.
So i have been playing gw2 since a week after release with no problems at all. However a couple hours ago little blue/yellow/green boxes started appearing on the screen as if my card could not render the game at all. This forced gw2 to close saying that it encountered a graphical error. I opened gw2 up again after a restart and still the same thing was happening. It was just little boxes appearing around the screen (anywhere on the screen) and also the other characters within LA started tearing.
Any fixes for this? updated my drivers and no dice. Is it something to do with my video card? Will i need to replace it? Im playing on a laptop by the way.
Asus g73jw
Intel core i7-740QM @ 1.73Ghz
Geforce GTX 460m 1.5gb GDDR5
8gb ram
My wife just ran the entire night on the beta drivers without a single crash. One night isn’t enough to say her problem is fixed, but I’m optimistic.
Yes, the same is happening for me, im on 306.02 drivers and so far im running fine. Hopefully it keeps up.
ok cool. Ill try some things in game first and then ill probably update my driver then. Thanks for the confirmation, its really annoying to not be able to play such a fun game (so far from what i have played :P).
@Disconnected
Im starting to think its an Nvidia issue or an issue on Anets part. Im debating on whether to update my driver to 306.02. However this doesnt happen after a couple hours, it happens after 7-15min on the settings that i choose.
Ill try it on lower settings and see if it prolongs the play time. :/
His CPU isn’t falling short. The laptop uses an i7 quad core.
My wife has the same laptop, and the game will frequently reboot her machine as well. You’re not alone having issues with GW2 with this model of laptop. There have been other posts on this forum as well with other people having the same issue. The laptop actually employs a very efficient cooling system, and temp checks have been run that put it well within the acceptable range for the components.
I haven’t seen anyone come to any form of resolution yet that has this model, and I also haven’t seen any kind of official response from ANet.
Hm, that is unfortunate for my model i guess :/ because yes, all temps are within acceptable ranges, gpu side of my laptop is warm(68-74 celcius as i said before) and the cpu side heat coming from the fans and also off the keys on the keyboard is nearly nonexistent. I guess ill have to wait for ANet to release a patch.
Will a new driver possibly work? or taking the game off ,D: drive and putting on my OS fix anything or no?

Graphics arent all on high, i have 3 settings on high, textures, animations, and post-processing. I got back with my gpu temps and i was getting ranges of 68 to 74 degress celcius which isnt hot at all. And this temp was persisting the entire time.
Well these are my pc specs from DxDiag:
Asus G73jw
8192mb RAM
Intel Core i7 CPU Q740 @1.73 ghz (2.93 when turboboosted)
Nvidia GeForce GTX 460m w/ 1.5gb GDDR5 4063 approx. total memory
Ill run gw2 with my gpu temp observer and get back to you on that.

I find that interesting since my temps for GW2 are lower than they are for BF3 and Shogun 2.
So im playing gw2 with good fps and on settings that i like and for some reason i get 10 or so minutes into the game and yet my laptop just shuts down randomly. No warning, nothing. The laptop isnt overheating and before it randomly shuts down the game is running perfectly fine. This only seems to happen with GW2 right now. BF3 and Shogun 2 run perfectly fine and never crash like this even though Shogun 2 is maxed out and BF3 is played on high.
Any idea whats causing it? I feel it may be a glitch in my computer but I dont know. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
