Guild Wars 2

Some tips that I got from other players.
1. Pick up banner, then drop it
2. Go to Hero window (H), click weapon swap
3. Pick up repair hammer, then drop it
4. WP out of zone
5. Get downed

Any other temporary quick fixes?

sent, ty

Can I send a GM the screenshot? The screenshot is from several days ago, but the same guy is crashing people.

Need GM to contact me, SOS server, Lion’s Arch near bank. Someone is using an exploit to crash a lot of people. This keeps happening over and over.

I came back after a long time too. I think they added on some new settings. My video card got toasted and the power supply was not enough to handle it. 700W PSU, but only able to output about 480W continuously. I got it stable by unplugging some devices, DVD, 2nd HD, etc. Running stable now at about 400-450W with new video card, new Power Supply is on the way. This may not be related to your issue.

During large battles like Marionette or Wurm, the buttons on the Skill Bar stop working. I can still move using WSAD, mouse works, everything else appears to work except the Skill Bar. This is happening more frequently and it’s killing my game play. Others have suggested that I do /dance, die or use a WP to reset. This does not appear to help me.

Does anyone have a fix for these? Even a temporary one, so that I can be useful in large battles.

Thanks

I’m logging out now, to punish myself.

I posted something similar to the OP. It’s hard to find people to do events pre-80. I just want to see the content, even if there is no reward.

Thx all, looking forward to switching. Need to save gold to xfer to gems.

1 hour??? Way to long. 15 minutes is fair in China.

Olba.5376:

They’re called Group Events for a reason. You were never meant to solo them. And that’s not going to change any time soon.

Since many zones are completely empty, this issue needs to be addressed. You are not a dev and you have no idea what they can or cannot do.

I enjoy GW2, but finding a group for pre-80 events, quests, and dungeons is harder than the quests themselves. This topic has been brought up more times than any other and it needs serious attention.

Give us a proper, intuitive interface for finding, joining, starting groups for specific events, quests, dungeons, etc. This should have been priority #1 from day #1.

What server has the best PvE population for events?

The server I am on now is dead. I cannot get a group for any events, especially pre-80 events. I cannot solo the group events, because of level scaling.

folly dragon.4126:

not entirely sure what you are referring to. A level 80 can go back to a beginner area scaled down to see events play out

But even a level 80 scaled down to a level 72 cannot solo a group event, most of the time. I want to be able to complete a group event, just to see the content/story line. Even if I don’t get any reward.

I don’t see that much in other MMOs. The trolls usually get tired. They could also implement it in higher level areas only. Those zones I have been in, appear almost completely empty.

I would like to see an option to choose level scaling or not, at least for some content. I am finding it hard to find a group for many events. If my level did not scale, I could complete most of those. I would not even mind lesser or no rewards, just to be able to see the event play out. As it is now, I have to skip a lot of content because I cannot find people that want to travel to do those events. For most high levels it’s a waste of their time.

They could at least have it as an option. I’m not saying this has to be the standard. Most of WvW is like PUGs anyway, even if not grouped.

Because it is not happening on your server or you fail to notice it, does not mean that it is not happening on other servers.

I actually meant Karma, farmed for the purpose of better gear, etc. There is obviously other incentives as well.

An example is, Blue team sends in 30 people to take SM, most of Green team steps aside while Blue caps SM. Once SM is capped, Green team goes in while most of Blue team steps aside. I think I saw it go back and forth at least 5 times in one hour before I logged out. It was organized and people in chat admitted it.

During certain hours, I have witnessed Stonemist Castle being taken over and over in a very quick manner with little resistance. For example, blue team takes it, then green, then blue, repeat. This results in a large amount of Karma in a very short amount of time. Obviously this looked weird that it was happening so fast and sure enough, people admitted that there was an agreement, (between large guilds), to not defend SM in order to facilitate Karma farming. While there was few people in the know, there were large enough numbers to allow this to happen over and over and over in a very short amount of time.

There needs to be more randomness to WvW, to help prevent this sort of Karma farming. Perhaps a limit as to how many times SM can be captured in an hour or two?

I would like to see an option for completely cross-server random WvW players. For example, when joining WvW, you are teamed with random players pulled from several different realms/servers. Also, not allowing for groups to join as this would defeat the purpose of randomness.

I propose this option because there is large offsite guilds that have agreements to farm Karma by allowing each other to take major strongholds such as Stonemist Castle with little resistance. Having an option for completely random WvW players, would help to cut down on this type of Karma farming.

Vox brings logic and facts into this discussion.

My computer was working just fine before the patch. Then they did some kind of a fix, that fixed it. Now it’s messed up again.

Day 2, bots still here

Looks like my server.

Do you have any idea how they hacked you?
Backdoor keylogger on your system?
Insecure WiFi?
Sharing account?

They would have accessed your email account too, because you can’t login from a different location without getting that prompt.

Sorry that you got hacked though, I feel bad for you.

To many bots to click on with all the NPC mobs, can someone send this to a GM please.

Edit: Stormbluff Isle Borderlands

I found a small cluster of 8 bots farming in EB demontrance lake
Jade Quarry EB

Some things that may help.

1. run the system using Windows 7 or 8 Preview, Vista is a hog
2. update your video drivers
3. more RAM 6-8GB, is the 6520 sharing that RAM with the system?
4. laptop cooler, last I knew heat can cause the laptop to downclock
5. in game settings, use low settings for shaders/shadows

As for buying a system in the future, I would check benchmark sites to see where your video card’s performance might be. http://www.hwcompare.com/

Razor has a free utility in beta that may help with performance, but I have not used it.

I see this happen a lot too. I hope it’s fixed soon.

Repairs are expensive. As some others mentioned, kill a few NPC mobs for trash loot.

Arasuki.6094:

conspiring to abuse game functions. noted.

It’s already happening. I see it every day in WvW. The real question should be, is Anet going to stop it or can everyone join in on this?

Since GW2 does not have a monthly fee, you can enter WvW at low level, and have multiple accounts for $60 a pop, what is to stop someone from planting spy alts on the opposing servers? Nothing.

I have enough computers, as do many other gamers, to do this. I could probably even setup a website with a live webcam of all 3 teams.

This is what happens when you don’t have random WvW servers.

As for the Commander badges, they just make it easier for the alt account spies to see your zergs and let the other servers know over voice.

Alt spies also serve another purpose, they can help you to target a treb outside of viewing distance.

Is this working as intended? If so, I’ll buy at least one other account to use as a spy. If you don’t think other people are doing this, you probably haven’t played much WvW.

That’s why I am broke all the time.

I’m rooting for DB. You can do iiiiiT!

So I am in WvW today. I had to take a restroom break. I come back to a screen that I have been logged out. Now I have to wait for a 4+ hour queue. Make of this what you will.

4+ hour queues, seriously?

Many of us are in for the long haul. It may not be fixed by this weekend, but it’s most likely on their list.

Sadly, this is Planetside 1 all over again. However, this could be one of the best MMOs out there with a few simple fixes.

The difference is… GW is not in EA’s pocket. Warhammer got the shaft when the devs were pulled to do SWTOR. EA = poison to MMO longevity.

This was my first server before all the transfer madness. Long live DB.

Experienced similar results as OP. Nerf Thieves or fix this.

This is an amazing game. However, there is major trouble in WvW. There needs to be some type of queue that randomizes players in WvW. In addition, there needs to be multiple WvW instances per server, not just 1 per server. This is a game saver. Listen to your customers. Please.

We also witnessed this on the ET/JQ/HoD WvW, almost the entire JQ team was invisible til we were all dead. Perhaps this is working as intented?

Prototype.9852:

ET and JQ teaming up ? that’s why ET is at attacking our keep @HoD borderland…

Those guys must have missed the memo. Did you check the TPS reports?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy3rjQGc6lA

JQQ and ET teaming up, sad news for HoD

He was attacking and if I remember correctly, he was trying to get behind me which I am guessing is a thief move?

Stiv.1820:

You are just exaggerating how short they were out of stealth after attacking.

Nope,

Visible, [one one thousand, two one thousand]
Steathed [one one thousand, two one thousand, three one thousand]
Visible, [one one thousand, two one thousand]
Steathed [one one thousand, two one thousand, three one thousand]
Visible, [one one thousand, two one thousand]
Steathed [one one thousand, two one thousand, three one thousand]
Visible, [one one thousand, two one thousand]
Steathed [one one thousand, two one thousand, three one thousand]

See, I can count.

What class/prof. can go invisible, with no apparent cooldown?

I was in WvW today. Several of us were trying to kill the same person. The character went invisible, appeared about 3 seconds later for about 2 seconds, then went invisible again. This happened over and over in the span of about 60 seconds. The person that went invisible had a pistol. Engineer, thief, exploit? I witnessed this person pop in/out of invisibility at least 6-7 times with no apparent cooldown.
