Guild Wars 2

The server for Siren’s Landing is severely broken. I couldn’t move, use skills or teleport out of the map after relogging. My endurance is constantly 1/4th of full and isn’t replenishing. There’s lag beyond anything and everyone’s pings (as far as I can see in chat) is around 4,000.
I jumped in an updraft and it didn’t push me up, then about 2 minutes later it catapulted me so far into the air (and didn’t stop for about 30 seconds) that I couldn’t see the map below me anymore.

All the other maps are fine though. Whatever was in the latest patch really isn’t sitting well with the new map, though.

This was an issue mentioned 3 years ago. This issue is with Savant Epaulets not showing on female Asura wearing the Savant Coat but showing on male Asura wearing it. Surely it isn’t that difficult of a fix?

Amaimon.7823:

“I think planting a seed is what causing me and 149 map associates to crash and rollback.
Better shoot myself in the foot again just to make sure it’s what’s hurting me”

Rude and unnecessary.

One map crash after trying to plant a seed doesn’t instantly say to me it was the seed that must have caused it. It might have been pure coincidence that I crashed at that exact moment. I tried 2 times and after I found out it indeed caused the crash (and saw that it was affecting others) I spent my time informing people not to interact with it.

I just ran around capturing ruins for hours to keep my participation up. Following a zerg is a less boring way of doing it though.

When I first saw this thread title I honestly thought it would be another person begging the devs to disable portals in jumping puzzles because ‘i did it alone and i hate people being nice’ or ‘you don’t get any sense of achievement’, etc.

So glad it wasn’t.

Aveneo.2068:

Only “Melandru’s Orchard” (Cursed Shore) and “Seaside Propagation” (Draconis Mons) are disabled for the moment because they caused a game crash when interacting with the soil.

I’m actually only missing Melandru’s Orchard. I planted all the rest including Seaside Propagation with no issues. huh.

That’s odd. It wasn’t disabled for me. I know that the fertile soil in Cursed Shore is currently unavailable because it kept causing crashes whenever someone interacted with it. They’ll probably fix it very soon.

There’s a collection requirement for The Wayfarer’s Henge that makes you go to Cursed Shore to plant 3 Fire Orchid Seeds in fertile soil.
These Fire Orchid Seeds crash the map whenever you try to interact with the fertile soil in Cursed Shore. I’ve tested this multiple times now and every time I interact with it the map crashes. It’s affecting everyone in the map because there’s constant complains of disconnection and rollback.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

Ok. Looks like you might try re-downloading and installing DirectX 9. Looks like a ntdll.dll error.

You can Google ntdll.dll errors, if you so desire.

Good luck.

If I’m honest I don’t think my computer even HAS DirectX installed. I’ll go and do that though. Seeing as it’s Windows 8 I could be wrong.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

You can, if available, post the first part of the crash details.
You can contact the Tech CS Team via the ‘Support’ link (on any guildwars2.com site page) and ‘Submit a Ticket’ for assistance.

Good luck.

I updated my post with the details from the event viewer.
Otherwise all I get is “Guild Wars 2 game client has stopped working”

My game keeps on crashing on the character screen. I’m using a brand new gaming PC that I got yesterday so there’s no AV or any of those programs that might be crashing it. I get a quick peek at my characters for less than a second and then it closes and comes up with “Guild Wars 2 game client has stopped working”

GW2 is added to my trusted Firewall programs
I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled 2 times
I’ve run as administrator
I’ve updated all my drivers
I’ve done the -repair option
Yes, I meet the required specs for GW2
I have Windows 8.1

Also, 8/10 times the -repair also crashes.

Honestly, I have no idea what to do anymore. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I love how people always complain about the lack of content and then when Anet gives us content like SAB it’s ’what’s the point?’.

The point is to have fun.

Sephas.8793:

Nice. You can get up there with normal gliding and jumping though. There’s an invisible wall down at the other end that prevents you from going down near the waterfall.

Haha, yes I’ve heard there are ways. But it’s rather cool that high ping and an updraft can get you to places you shouldn’t be able to.

This is something I’ve noticed from time to time and I’m wondering if anyone else has noticed it too. But if you go into an updraft with high ping you get absolutely flung into the air. I was in Lake Doric and I went so high I actually got above the temple of the six (when my ping averaged 2,000):

So I just completed Heart of Thorns on one character and have Broken Caladborg. I’ve left the instance, relogged and checked my current events and story journal but I’m not getting any mail to start the scavenger hunt for Sword Taxonomy. (Also my mailbox is NOT full) Am I doing something wrong?

You don’t HAVE to use them. I actually find it quite convenient, especially if you’ve leveled so many characters to 80 that’s it’s just a bore when all you want to do is move onto the level 80 sections. You can also use them for Spirit Shards.

Do any of you think Anet will/should make Taidha’s gate easier to destroy? It’s takes far too long and is painfully tedious. I want to do the boss, but the gate makes it so obnoxious that it isn’t worth it in the end.

Anyone else finding it ridiculous how people can just spam the Kodan tonic? Not only is it obnoxious but that ley effect destroys my FPS. It’s the perfect tool for a troll to just stand in the middle of a world boss and spam it endlessly. I mean, a cooldown would be awesome even if it were 5 seconds.

I understand that several months ago people were complaining that the gliding for the Chak tonics resulted in a rather strange visual glitch but recently I found out that you can no longer glide with Chak tonics. Did Anet remove gliding with the tonic all together, or is this just a bug?

Electro.4173:

Its a hidden achievement, IIRC. Which means it doesn’t show up until you complete part of it.

Huh. Strange.
I’m sure I’ve done a few Anomalies.

So, I’m in need of some ‘Teleport to Friend’ consumables and I noticed on the wiki the ‘Anomalies of the World’ achievement yields 3, but I can’t find it in the achievement section anywhere (Yes, not even in General>Current Events where it should be).

Does this mean it was removed?

I’m 18, and will be 19 on May 4th.

Here’s my revenant!

Out of the ordinary, just how I like em.

Yalora Istairiea.6287:

I do have a contact in EU who was working on starting a GreatSaw Guild. He was very friendly and may be able to accommodate you. If you ping me in game I can give you his name.

A Greatsaw guild? How awesome is that?! As for pinging, is that another way of saying whisper/messaging? And would it work because you’re in NA?

Yalora Istairiea.6287:

I have the GreatSaw.

I worked with Cody of the ANet sound team a few years ago on the volume, which resulted in the sound being turned WAY down. Too low for my taste, but it was deemed more of a level to not irritate other players.

There are some people, who due to some type of bug or audio card issue, it is barely discernible but for most people it is fine.

If you are on NA Kururu, feel free to ping me in game and I will try to meet you to demonstrate it before you lay out the huge investment to get one.

I’ve actually been thinking of someone demonstrating in-game. Though I am on the EU server Piken Square, unfortunately.

I’ve been hoping to get one for 600 gold so I’ll at least be left with 186 gold.

I’ve been wondering for a while as it’s now 2016 and all the videos about this greatsword are around 3 years old and are most likely out of date.

But is this greatsword still loud and obnoxious? Did they get rid of the sound entirely? It is much much quieter and tolerable now? It’s incredibly rare to find someone with one of these in-game.

I’ve been looking at getting one, but I really don’t want the noise to annoy people. I did read that Anet did some fixes to it, but how does it stand today?

I would really like to see a Steampunk-themed glider.

The only use for the Mentor tag I’ve found is to help keep a group together in Mad King Labyrinth. Seriously.

As for this idea of a new chat window? It’s alright. A part from being feeding grounds for many trolls.

Not my kind of thing. None of my characters would be able to pull it off.

Knowing Anet they’ll probably be some stupid price like 400 gems.

Probably a stupid question because I think GW1 covered some areas GW2 didn’t.

But… will we ever be able to discover the over parts of the map?

What about these Elder dragons Primordus and the Deep sea dragon? Have they not been awakened yet?

GW3? Expansions like HoT?

Talindra.4958:

we joined the organised community group and managed to get the smash the dragon two days ago. as for no fly, we will need to do more, but we dont need no fly for 10/10 reward
are you in EU? the EU ts community host a few attempts daily.

Yes, I’m in EU. I’m not sure if the server I’m on matters for things like World bosses?
I didn’t know Smash the Dragon was possible due to the bug. o-O

Thanks, though!

I’m enjoying it a lot. But one thing annoys me, and that’s how the two ‘hardest’ achievements (that being No-Fly Zone and Smash the Dragon) are completely reliant on pug groups.

9/10 achievements, still 0% on No-Fly Zone and I heard Smash the Dragon is bugged, but both require the same tactics of the breakbar. None of my friends play GW2, and none of my Guilds host anything. I’m kind of stuck hoping one pug group could help break the bar even ONCE. I run in there with every single bit of CC I have, but there’s like 20 people meleeing his leg and I’ll be the only one doing what little CC I can do alone when Shatterer is vulnerable.

I was wondering if there are any guilds who actually host this battle. I’m currently at 9/10 achievements, but No-Fly Zone and Smash the Dragon seem impossible because every single group is completely clueless. I’ve done most of the Shatterer battles since it was updated to be harder and I’m still at 0% for No-Fly Zone. I’m not a fan of achievements which are completely reliant on pug groups.

I’m not sure if it’s because the Smash the Dragon achievement is bugged and people want to wait until it’s fixed to even try. Or maybe it’s because it’s a new experience and people are still learning? Even so, I’m curious if anyone hosts this.
