Guild Wars 2

Never mind. The only crashing I’m having is at one spot in the storyline (Lvl 55 quest). It has happened multiple times at the exact same spot. This crash occurred at the same spot before the 3rd re-install. No issues at the event in LA (highest cpu/gpu load) or anywhere else. I’d have to say it’s not my PSU..

Reinstalling a third time apparently fixed my issue.

I ran Intel XTU stress test for 4 hours at 4.5ghz 1.35w – zero issues, temps below 75. I’m running the stock clock (3.9ghz with ‘turbo boost’), stock everything and still having the crash issue. It is not a CTD or BSOD. The PC turns off or restarts.

It’s a brand new 750w. I haven’t seen my cpu usage go above 50% for gw2 and I’ve ran benchmarks, stress tests, etc. with zero issues. BF4 plays amazing, as does every other game I have (assassin’s creed black flag, marvel heroes, skyrim, starcraft 2, etc etc.).

I’ve found through google that many people have this issue.

I’m having major crashing issues and I’m worried the game is going to damage my brand new pc. Sometimes I can play upwards of 30min before my PC crashes, but more often I’m lucky to get 15min out of a session. This only happens when playing Gw2. CPU temps never get above 60, GPU ~65. I have reinstalled the game, and last night I broke down and wiped my system clean and reinstalled the operating system, everything – I’m still having the crashing issue.

I’m sure you can imagine my frustration.

PC specs: 4820k stock clock, 780 gtx stock clock, ssd, x79a-gd45 plus, blah blah.

Any help is much appreciated!

I am a recent 80 and did not know this rune set was broken until today. I’ve tested this myself and have found that it is still broken…

There goes all my money : (

Please fix asap!!

Nurvus.2891:

Problem 1 – Being able to make mistakes is a good thing. It makes skill matter.
You can use skills when out of range.
You can use stealth skills while immune to stealth.

I even think there should be no such think as target – you should just have a crosshair like in Tera Online or something.

Problem 2 – there are multiple stealth skills, so Backstab belongs in key 1.

My final opinion:
I think Stealth Skills should refund some Initiative when use during Stealth Immunity.

I agree that mistakes should be able to be made like missing your target, but having to watch a stealth immunity buff is ridiculous. It adds an annoyance to the class that easily can be avoided. My change would simply alleviate the need to watch for a buff to disappear which inevitably lead to the class being more fun to play.

Also, this is not Tera. If you want a no-target system, go play that game. It sucks, I’ve played it to endgame.

Back stab can be appended to all of the stealth skills and nothing would be lacking. Traps, heal, combo stealthing included – Why not? And, to add to that, back stab could still remain as well in the #1 slot and nothing would be lost. Or just keep back stab on 1 AND 5 – simple, and minimum coding required.

Problem 1: C&D is usable while stealth immunity buff is up – causes wasted initiative often. Watching the buff is a nuisance and draws eyes away from combat.

Fix: Add cooldown that would take into account the animation time and stealth immunity buff duration to allow stealthing immediately when the stealth immunity buff is gone.

Problem 2: C&D key 5 to key 1 stretch for back stab. There is no reason to have these skills on a separate key.

Fix: Add secondary ability to C&D that would trigger back stab.

These simple changes would make playing a Thief much more fun. I feel the class needs some love as I find playing other classes to be much more enjoyable and to be more ‘put together’ than the Thief.

Thank you for reading.
