Guild Wars 2

From what i have been reading in map chat, it seems to be cause of the necro portal skill from the new elite.

WVW maps keep crashing. Atleast on ROF/FSP/Dokash.

3 or 4 times now, since reset.

Hi,

Any idea what i should do with all the level tomes of knowledge, besides converting them to spirit shards? Not to brag here on the forums, but i’m sitting on a stack of 1630 tomes, which basically takes up bank space.

Currently all new ones which i acquire are instantly converted to shards. But the other stacks takes ages to double click

What to do with the e-mail with the serial number i received? I bought the upgrade trough the in-game store.

Still waiting for my delivery of the gems though

Any one other server has this atm? Atleast on ROF every 5 mins the maps crashes.

Seems thats the case, i have a total of 15k (montly + daily). Didnt even know there was a limit/cap. Always did my dailies for the achievement points.

I haven’t really paying attention to my increase in daily achievement points, but it seems you’r not getting the 10 achievement points after doing the 3 daily missions. I think this is since the last update.

Any one else able to confirm?

Raiding should have a story(easy) mode, where the casual player could also run trough the raid. Give it lesser rewards (no legendary armor etc). This way they can enjoy the story and get the achievements.

It also gives the casual player a taste of the raid and a way to learn the mechanics of the bosses. Its up to them if they want to progress eventually to hard mode.

Not sure if its still the case, but requiring certain play style and builds for a raid is a no go for this game and never should have been added.

That picture says more then anything and tells us exactly what is wrong with this season.

What you complaining about? At least you’re winning, many of us aren’t that fortunate and are on losing streaks, which is almost impossible to turn around.

Same here, happened 3 times in the last 2 hours

Salamander.2504:

1) Day you started ranked league (e.g., last Tuesday was day 1)
2) Your division.
3) Is your win-rate below 50%?
4) Stuck, or are you advancing?
5) Are you experiencing huge loss-streaks?
6) Are you continuing to play in Ranked?

1) Day 1
2) Emerald
3) yes, probably around 20-30, if not 10-20%
4) Stuck, impossible to advance with losing spree’s
5) yes, last Sunday was really the worst ever in PVP for me, about 30-50 matches, won 5 in total. It didn’t matter which classes, what builds etc. All matches were lost big time.
6) Unfortunately yes.

very disappointed addition to the game. Each shared slot, should at least give space for 5 items and not 1. Sharing 5 items it total is not even enough, for food/siege weapons etc. To bad i already bought before i stumbled on this thread. Won’t ever make this same mistake again. But then again you already have my money, so why care.

If that’s the case, then the achievement text needs to be changed, because it straight up says ‘in one season’.

That’s the case, devs stated so. In the end, one needs only to reach Ruby twice and Sapphire twice to get the precursor during all the 4 seasons this year.

So, yes, the backpack is pretty much grindable and that’s it, the League system was thought out exactly with that idea in mind (that’s why the “not-losing-pips-every-rank” system is on up until you hit Ruby).

Hey there, folks! My name is Erik and I’m the newest member of the PvP design team.

I think that there’s still a bit of confusion out there about progress regarding the PvP legendary backpack and so I just wanted to pop in and clarify once again that you DO NOT need to complete all of the legendary backpack achievements in a single season in order to acquire the backpack itself. I think the achievement text that Eolirin is referring to is for the “Primordial Legend” achievement, which, while it does require completing in a single season to finish, is not linked to your Ascension progress in any way. Some players who climb to higher divisions faster than other players will naturally be able to finish their legendary backpacks sooner, but again, the achievements for the backpack can be worked on over the entire year’s lifespan of the Ascension achievement category and do not need to be finished in a single PvP league season. Hope that clarifies some things!

Thats great, but there is an achievement in Season 2 which is required to continue for the next Season, which says cross 2 divisions ….. | for weeks i’m stuck in division 2 tier 4 and im unable to progress as im loose more then i actually win. I have around a 45% win oppertunity. So how is this even possible to accomplish? The Season 3 achievements don’t open, until you have completed this achievement.

Thank you for this post, now hope its get much needed attention.

• Describe a typical hour for you in the Alpine Borderlands in the past. For example, What size of group were you running in? What kind of tasks did you run? What activities did you do?

Usually solo roaming, guarding keeps, escorting dolly’s, recapture camps

• Compare your experience described above with a typical hour spent in Eternal Battlegrounds, if you went there at all. Does your style of play change between the 2 maps?

EB has been always about the fights, so usually run with the group.

• Compare your experiences described above with an hour spent in the new borderlands.

Soloing camps, is almost made impossible due to the auto upgrades. And kinda feel lost on that map.

• Describe the nature of combat in the borderlands in the past. How have the new borderlands impacted this paradigm for you? What style or build changes might it cause? For example, knocking people off cliffs or into lava might play a more important role.

None.

• In your experience, compare the time it takes take a structure or objective here, then it did in the past.

Takes longer

• How is the loot and wxp for you compared to in the past? Will it be able to sustain whatever you are doing? Did it take a hit, or was it improved? If you are planning to unlock an elite specialization, do you think you were helped or hurt in these regards? Do you think you could pursue any other in-game goals just by playing WvW?

Loot always been bad in WvW. Getting wxp is new borderlands takes to long. Not planning to unlock, i have to many characters to pursue all these unlocks and by removing the normal xp from wvw, it even gonna takes longer.

• How will the map change impact the long sessions (multiple hours) you spend in WvW?

Probably will be spending more time on EB.

• In 100 words or less, describe how the new BLs could be improved.

Currently they are to difficult to navigate trough, some area’s are stunning like the upper left and upper right corner of your own borderlands. I expected a little bit more flat terrain like that, with castles etc. Ditch the vertical stuff in the map and the narrow navigation.

• In 100 words or less, describe how the borderlands work to a new WvW player.

I wouldn’t even advice it to go there.

• In 100 words or less, describe how the borderlands work to a veteran WvW player that is new to the maps.

No idea

• Which map am I most likely to find you currently, if you’re on Gw2?

EB

Got a similar issue with a GTX 770. Although my issue is a bit more complex. In short my FPS drops to unplayable and in your case a restart seems to help, but in mine doesn’t. Even turning of the PC doesn’t seem to fix it. Somehow gw2 uses 100% of the my GPU load (GPU-z), while a few weeks back this never happend. I also get lots of driver crashes, followed by a temporary black screen, even when i start GW2.

There is something really bogus in certain PC setups, with NVidia cards and GW2. But with all big companies, the customer is never right.

Any other game i play is totally fine and currently thinking of moving on and leave GW2 as it is.

Hi,

Not sure how to call this issue, but here goes. When i’m playing GW2, i sometimes get the message, that the nvidia driver has crashed and has been restored, followed by black screens which return after a few seconds. When that happens my fps drops from average 50-60 to 5 to 11 and the game becomes unplayable. Shutting down the game and relaunch doesn’t solve it. I do notice, my ping within the game becomes really high, compared to before the crash. The issue isn’t at the player selecting screen of GW2, everything is fine there, till i load in any character within the game.

Now the strange part, even turning off the PC / Unplugging the power-cord & plugging back in after 1 minute, doesn’t solve it. The last time i had this i had to wait a day (turned off PC) before it suddenly worked again. If i launch different (heavy depending GFX) games, i have no problems whatsoever, nor do i have any nvidia driver crashes.

If i look at MSI Afterburner or GPU-Z, my GFX card, goes to 100% usage, while before the crash this doesn’t even come close.

I had this issue before the windows 10 upgrade aswell, but relaunching / minimizing an d maximizing the game, would solve the FPS issue. After the launch of Windows 10, i could play without any issue for a couple of weeks. The issue re started last week again. I have updated the NVIDIA driver to the latest, but doesn’t solve it.

Specs :

GFX: MSI GTX 770
CPU : i7 960 (3,2GHZ)
MEM : 6GB
OS : Win 10 Pro x64
MB : Asus Rampage III

Any idea what to do to solve this issue?

Thanks

Agree, this event is terrible. Guess its a week of PVE or PVP.

Hi, not sure if this is asked before, nor does the forum search seem to work properly for me, but here goes.

I have a personal guild mainly for storage, also got 1 member in it, which is my long time friend. Currently we thinking about moving servers. In the past you had you recreate your guild on the new server and you lost all your upgrades, storage etc. With this mega server upgrade, did this changed? Will my guild still exist when i move servers?

Thanks

1. Ranger.

Cant think of any other class which seem to have gotten so much lack of attention.

Currently the lag including skill lag is horrible compared to last week. It was nothing like this. If a battle occurs somewhere on the map, the whole map starts lagging and people start warping or experience other kind of stuttering. If you ask me, the WvW update is kind of a disaster.

Personally i had 2 times, my skillbar locked up where i couldn’t use my skills 1 to 5, even when there was no lag. The skills no longer seemed to work, while 6 to my elite skill and the F1 – F4 worked. This happened after a lag battle.

Only quitting the game and launching seemed to work, but we all know what happens after that when you try to get back in WvW (que’s)

Also multiply crashes occur during WvW, which seems tied to graphics. I used be able to play WvW with most things on high, now i put all settings on best performance to make sure i dont crash and kinda seem to work.

website (forum) is doing wonky as well.

Same issue.

Getting login error or “unable to authenticate your gameplay privileges” error. Seems to change from time to time.

Option to turn only guild members on and perhaps enemies would be welcome.

Have to agree to this. Doesn’t seem to work. Especially in LA. During the invasion event i didnt had the problem. Might have to do with the incredible amount of players visible in LA.

(see the attached screenshot, with the settings on and off)

“Liquid World Experience is now available as a drop in WvW rank-up chests. When consumed, characters receive a set amount of WXP.”

Above is taken from the patchnotes. I just gainded a WvW rank, but didnt had any of those in my chest. Bugged? or is it a random/rare chance drop.

Was maby a bit to fast about the loot drop, that seems fine imho. But the wvw badge drop is below average. So is this ittended?

Hrist.8972:

Why would you play WvW for the items game? It’s not designed for that.

and why shouldn’t be wvw rewarding? Most of the time i play WvW and got my credits mostly from the loot i sell. Badges i can use to buy the armor/weapons from wvw vendors.

If there is no loot/badge (bugged)drop in WvW, how i ment to make money then to buy new equipment?

Not sure how other players how do this. But my play time is mostly 80% wvw / 20% pve (due to dailies and from time to time some content).

Convenant.7092:

What happened to “Play however you want!”, quoted from the manifesto? Thrown out the window…

This is the same which applies to the daily achievement imho. Why not unlocking the full achievement list everyday and let people play how they want. Instead of giving us 10 random/predetermined each day. Ill guess that’s another story.

DevonCarver.5370:

. We will continue to do what we can to improve the rewards available from WvW …….

Hi, you might check out the loot / badge drop in wvw as it seems really got(bugged?) since the queen event got put in the game. badge drop hardly happens and it seems loot didn’t got any better to. Its not nearly as close as before the event.

Not sure if other people noticed, but do other people notice as well there is a lot lesser drop in loot and badges from dead players. Seems to have happened after the new event “queen’s jubilee” got live. Think if have read a notice they fixed the drop of badges in the WvW puzzle jump, but i think they forgot the drop in WvW.

Same error here.

Look at the + Points gained by GH, use the opportunity , enhance your score and next week there will be a new matchup.
To Withdraw from the Match and hide behind a River of Tears wont get you anywhere.

And Pike have been on 8. , River on 10. So they should be able to fight against RS. If they dont want that at the moment, they are to blame themself.

These Rndm matchups arent that balanced or fair, sure. But on the other hand the more stabel and fair matchups against the same opponents made people also cry. People just dont know what they want.

I doubt people actually care about that point system when playing wvw. They just want to have a fair fight, have some fun and a fair chance of winning. This week is major fail from Anet for GH. The amount of people Riverside can field all day/night long we don’t even have for 1 of the maps, think the income score of +60 to max +110 proofs enough. People talking about fun and learn something about it. Sure, we capture 1 castle on tkitten map then the big blob zerg shows up and captures it back within 6 minutes. How is that fun? This situation only causes people to play less WvW.

Zarenda Mal.1364:

Don’t feel sorry, it will just be boring, because I am not inclined to even bother spending time in WvW when we are so thoroughly mismatched. Both Piken Square and Riverside can field mor people on 1 map than we can on all 4 combined. I will be PvEing this week. Maybe A-Net can get it right next week.

This says it all. I liked the small fights we had the last 2 weeks. Now its just big blobs against a few of us. If you already check the maps, u can already see the outcome of this match-up.

Thanks Anet, well done on this mess.

Having the same issue, specials just wont fire. Its most notable in WvW with ground targeting skills, like barrage from ranger or any ground targeting skill from the elementalist.

In PVE i didnt noticed it yet.

A list with 25 dailies divided in 5 catagory’s would have been a lot better then this. W’r currently still forced to do what arena wants us to do as picking from a list with 9 things is not really big and from what i have been reading the daily list changes everyday.

hello,
