Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone,
I’ve reached support and asked on Reddit, but I can’t find a solution to my issue, which has been a thing for more than three months now.

My pc sometimes"forgets" to load the text of items, skills, npcs, enemies and the audio cuts off, only to proceed to a one minute freeze, after which the game runs smoothly.

This is what I SEE before the game freezes. In the red circles are icons (Tiny fang, Carrot, and a Sword) with just an icon but no text; those allow me to “understand” that I’d better not open any other tab (EG inventory, skill tab) otherwise my game will freeze. What I HEAR is…well, no audio at all for the duration of these weird phenomena; sometimes the audio goes on with no problem, but the game still freezes.

This is another example of what I experience. No icons or text on skills, no audio, and if I dare to alt+tab or to open another tab such as the inventory one, the game freezes.

What I did:

- Updated my graphic card drivers to the latest (this has REDUCED the frequency of the weird text disappearing moments, but hasn’t solved them);
- Contacted GW2 support, ran NCSoft GameAdvisor and provided them with files which should be useful in solving the problem. Still waiting for an answer;
- Repaired the client more than once;
- Ran diagnostics on my RAM using mdsched.exe, with negative results.

Help me, please. I have no idea what more should I do to eliminate the issue.

Thanks! I also guess it is a consumable item? One time use?

So if my brain doesn’t trick me, I thought that at some time a portal-like device had been introduced…something to do with Sprockets maybe, but I can’t really remember. Can anyone help me out?

Hi all fellas engineers,
I wanted to make a build up for a bunker-ish engineer, hard to kill and able to dish a lot of sustained damage, but also with a lot of cleansing and healing capabilities.
So:
- Armor = Full apothecary, 6x Superior rune of the Undead;
- Trinkets = Full carrion amulet, earrings and rings;
- Weapons = Apothecary Pistol, Superior sigil of Corruption | Apothecary Shield, Superior sigil of Energy;
- Skills =
6) Med pack 7) Elixir Kit 8) Flame Turret 9) Bomb Kit 10) Supply Crate

- Traits = 0/20/30/10/10
*Firearms for the increased condition damage and lowered CDs on Pistol and Elixir gun skills;
*Inventions for Elixir-infused Bombs (healing on bombs), Cloaking Device(invisibility on immobilize- though this one may be replaced with something else) and Power Shoes for a better kiting;
*Alchemy for Invigorating Speed, as we will equip kits very frequently – this means swiftness (as for the Invention traits) AND Vigor;
*Gadgets for Speedy Kits, for more swiftness and more kiting.

As you may imagine, this build revolves around kiting the enemy and spamming conditions on him, while evading the attacks thanks to the endurance gain from traits and the sigil. The Flame Turret is a nice asset since the smoke field sinergizes well with the one from Smoke Bomb. We’ll have some blast finishers at hand, a block, some interrupts and even a reflect.

DO NOT take this build as the Holy Grail – I’m here to ask your help to make it perfect, flaming and useless criticism are most of the times useless.

Let me know if you have any suggestions, or if you like it!
