Guild Wars 2

I got good news!
Raids cant destroy the game since that has already been achieved with the removal of dungeons and the unfortunate changes to fractals.

You dont need to stack defensive stats like toughness/vita/healing power to tank. The only reason to take one or two pieces of toughness gear is to make sure you pull boss aggro. It is in no way needed to survive. That said, any class with some form of innate sustain can tank while running full or almost full berserker/viper/sinister gear, such as reapers or chronomancers.

Loving the new scientific weapons … and the eviscerate animation

Today I learned that killing the triple golems in se1 while stacking in the corner is easier, faster and allows for focussed dps and shared damage.

tbh legendaries are really common these days. Nobody goes ‘ooooooh he has a legendary soo cool’ anymore 3 years after release. The real art is to make it fit with the look of your character, where a flashy legendary may or may not be more suitable.
Also, havent you thought of the possibility to actually check on google or youtube what the legendary actually looks like BEFORE putting all the effort into making one?

I think that compared to dungeons, fracal rewards are much worse and this should change.

Well, considering that a fractal 50 usually takes about 20 – 25 minutes max, the rewards are actually not that bad.

Not to talk down on you or anything but… how is this a thread?
What I see here is a rather random vid of a fractal that has nothing particularly remarkable to it. You do not explain what’s so special about it that would justify a new thread. Instead you say you would want to post a lv 50 if you were lucky enough. Then why post now, and not when that lv50 actually happens?
Besides, you guys already have a thread on this topic which is still on the first page. Why not add it there?

/edit
The mods agree with me and moved this here xD. My post is now taken out of context and irrelevant.

You can add me too

Only 2Gb of ram may be a problem

This helped me solve the problem.
Turns out I in fact have 2x 2GB, but one became nonfunctional because the computer hasnt been touched in 6 months.
Must have been dirty or something, so I plugged them both out and back in and cleaned the computer. Now both work again and the game runs smoothly as ever.
Thanks!

Recently I started having these problems with incredibly low fps (1-10) in Lions Arch. Its not coming from population, I tried logging on during offpeak hours, with ~2 other people around, but the problems stay the same.
Lowering graphic options didnt make a difference either.
Its also not like I changed anything about my system either, the game ran perfectly for 1.5 years on high settings, but since new year I started having these very low fps problems. Sometimes I couldnt even steer my character to stand at the TP traders in LA because of the latency.
Other maps and dungeons get hard fps drops too, but in LA is where its unplayable.
Also, the startup of the game takes forever, as do the loading times for anything, maps, dungeons etc.
When I enter a map I also often miss icons for skills, icons for items in my inventory and environement objects. They load after some time, but it takes minutes.
Opening trading post freezes the game for about a minute, then it slowly loads all the pieces of the window in bits.
Even closing the game will freeze everything for 1-2 minutes until I get back to my desktop.
I reinstalled twice, no difference.
Other games play as smooth as ever.

Computer:
2,00 GB RAM
AMD Phenom II X4 955 Processor (3.20 Ghz)
ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series
Windows 7

I saw theres some other threads about fps drops, but apparently those are other problems, as I neither run on a mac nor do I only get the problems in crowded places or run the game on a weak system.

It has now happened multiple times when I was playing arah with pug groups that 2 guys from the same guild would kick all other people from the party when the endboss was at 20% to get their guildies in.
Very annoying when it happens.
There should be a better way to be safe against this other than making sure that I am the one who opened the dungeon.
