Guild Wars 2

Thanks for all the answers.
The monitor is plugged into the motherboard because i dont have any cable for the slot in the graphics card.
But i’ll fix it somehow

There’s your problem. Easy fix.

You try changing the shortcut info?

Yeah obviously something is wrong, you should be getting much much higher FPS. You sure you are running the game with your GPU?

We run guild groups, certainly not a toxic environment and definitely a lot of fun. Everyone in TS and have been playing together for years now.

Join a fun, non-elitist focused guild and enjoy the game! With even just a bit of Patience and communication, you’ll be downing the bosses soon enough. I couldn’t imagine playing with people who do gear checks and rage quit after the first wipe. That’s not my idea of fun.

I am also having this issue

May the Six bless you, this fix posted in here worked for me

Sounds more like an issue with Comcast in CT or maybe the L3 gateway in Boston. I’m on DSL in CT with Frontier (don’t judge) and it seems fine. As my PingPlotter shows I’m hopping through Virginia, DC and then onto the L3 backbone.

It is not Comcast. A Comcast VPN from Hartford is routed to NYC without going to Boston. Going from NYC to Arenanet is no problem using Comcast.

Bypassing Boston solves the problem, which is clearly with Level 3, and not Comcast.

If you need additional explanation about how this works, let me know.

To Arenanet, someone get to Level 3, and have them fix the issues which seem related to Boston.

Can you send me a basic guide how to do this? Thanks in advance

sanadin.8317:

Also having an issue in CT. Been talking with some other folks and the theory is there is a problem with the Level 3 nodes we use to reach ArenaNet. What do we about it though, complain to Level 3?

I’ll grab the pitchforks if you got the torches!?!

well you can add me to the list. I’m in CT and the game is now unplayable. often cant connect and then DC right away. error code 7:11:3:191:101

at least this seems like a common issue, hopefully we get a fix sometime soon

i am a gamer and you do not speak for me

I highly suggest people watch and read these recent interviews for themselves, a lot of forum posters are either misinterpreting and over extrapolating the developers answers.

also you can just convert gold to gems, 200 gems isn’t a whole heck of a lot of gold

there was a whole week of summing up LS season 1 on this site. im sure it is still posted somewhere.

I get the feeling we will see a new zone every few updates (couple months) certainly appears like they are focusing on the story a lot more now from the previews on gaming sites. I expect these zones to be more like orr than southsun, as in more events and actual story points.

Grimwolf.7163:

Vol.7601:

“Log in”

If you read instead of overreacting…

No, you both can’t understand context and took a single word too literally, at the expense of the entire paragraph.
I know all you have to do is log in. I’m not brain damaged, I wrote that fact down myself. Twice.
The point is, if you miss the event you can’t go back to it. So why have the journal?
If you’ve logged in then you’ve very likely played it anyway. The typical Living Story update can be seen in its entirety after 1-2 hours. After that you’re just grinding out enemies or mini games for rewards.

you should really look into this topic a bit more before such an overreaction. all your questions have been answered elsewhere, many times over.

yes MF on food still works, as does the MF infusion for the utility slot on a ascended amulet. I routinely run 300-400% MF while doing cursed shore events, in my opinion there is a very noticeable difference in the amount of rares and T6s mats I get than when I do those events with less MF active.

I wonder if this is their idea of permanent content.

How is it not?

If the story modes that we’re going to be able to access are in a similar vein to the Zhaitan encounter, I couldn’t care less if we have permanent access to it.

It all depends on what kind of events they implement, but I’d really just prefer that they introduce new zones and such instead of story encounters that I’ll do once and then be done with forever.

id say odds are pretty good for a new zone on july 1st.

OP, I suggest you read the article again. you obviously missed some of the finer points.

People complaining about engie turrets? my god, now ive seen everything. I see no need to rehash the points already made in this thread, but it should take people all of about 5 min to realize how to avoid/destroy the turrets.

can you please explain?

the turrets cant move, have limited range, dont attack all that often, have very low HP and have long cool downs. engie drops turret, you got a few option, some are to back off and kill it, drop stability and melee it, or get our of range on the other side of the node. Honestly the turrets HP is so low, they don’t last long at all. all this is just my take on the issue

the answer is ‘yes’

well i restarted my computer, and updated my GPU driver and so far no dc-ing. fingers crossed

yes, constant DCs for the last 30 minutes

All GW2 offers is ultra casual brain dead PvE “gameplay” experience, shopping at the gem shop and cosplaying with your friends in hub cities.

must be right up your alley then, considering how often you post on this forum, you must love this game. how many hours in game you go so far?

GW2 is a superior game to almost every MMO in the western industry atm and Wildstar/ESO are both average ones. People would like WS/ESO for a fresh experience however neither bring anything major to the industry.

Are you being sarcastic ? What did GW2 bring to the mmo industry ? Zergs pvp zerg pve and more zergs, zerker meta, lame storyline(traherne), repetitive combat, boring dungeons ( stacking,etc), hearts are not fun, unbalanced classes. Shall i go on ?

It brought a truly cooperative rather than a competitive PvE experience that no other game has so far matched. Might not be your thing but it’s definitely my thing.

yeah I cant imagine going back to a game where you compete for kills, resource nodes or to loot the chest first (looking at you ESO for that last one), not saying GW2 invented these, but they sure add to the overall enjoyment of the PvE experience

They respawn shortly after looted by one for the other, patience grasshopper, but I prefer the GW2 loot system(even if it is all garbage).

yes you are correct, you can wait a short bit. But have a person jet right in front of you and rob that chest/node just brought back that unwanted feeling of older MMOs

ok, people consider different thing to be significant content then, that’s ok, im not one to judge.

but yes OP, ive played both WS and ESO and they both made me miss GW2.

Gw2 has no monthly fees
that’s what sells me on this game

I completely rufuse to support subscription based games as they are nothing more than a colossal rip off

Gw2 proves you can make a superb high quality MMO and not extort money from your fanbase every month

I would never have gotten into MMO’s or online gaming for that matter if it was not for Guildwars 1 and its no monthly fee policy

Really? I’ve had the exact opposite experience. Never have I seen a game rip you off more than GW2. I mean $100 a month on average to access all the games content… I’d gladly pay a pitiful $15 a month for the same privilege with the added bonus of the devs not purposefully designing inconveniences into the game to sell you stuff.

I disagree, there are games where you need to buy quest packs, certain races, mounts, classes, etc that is locked behind the cash shop. GW2 is not one of those games. you can not spend a dollar in the cash shop and still participate in everything some one who drops that $100 a month on skins, buffs, etc. I see you consider ‘skins’ to be essential content, I don’t think most people agree with you on that point. Id be happy to reconsider my opinion if you have specific examples of gameplay being cash shop dependent in GW2.

Infinite continue coin, watchwork pick, and airship pass are the 3 that come to mind right away. The coin and the pass are both examples of inconvenience deliberately being added to the game in order to sell an item. They nerfed the drop rate of coins by like 90% then introduced the coin in the gem shop the next day. They deliberately left out the crafting stations at vigil keep to make people either need to go through an additional 2 load screens, or buy a gem store item. The watchwork pick has taken it a step further in the fact that currently the only way for a new player to get watchwork sprockets is to either buy them from players with the pick or buy the pick themselves.

Additionally, since stat progression is not the goal of GW2, the only thing to work for at max level is cooler appearance items. However 99% of the new appearance items are locked behind the cash shop.

And no matter how loud people yell and scream it, converting gold to gems is not an effective solution. I should be able to earn the rewards by playing the game. I shouldn’t need to grind gold 50 hours a week just to get access to gem store items.

Again, I asked what gameplay is locked behind the cash shop. I guess maybe the musical instruments, but the items you listed are not examples of gameplay accessible to only gemshop costumers who spend “$100 a month”. convenience items are not gameplay.

You come to the wrong place if you don’t want to see complaints, gw2 forums are about on par with other game forums, mostly negative. People love to complain, it’s a fact. However less threatening to leave threads since it is a buy to play, sub games have forums that are about 25% full of ‘do this or I’ll leave’ threads. I find it amusing that people get so worked up over a game, but hey, who am I to judge?

Yeah who left FC? my guild [AoE] is pretty active in WvW and I have not noticed any major guilds leaving. I’m psyched that some new ones joined in, I’m sure they will be pleasantly surprised at the action they will find in the bronze league.

Agriope.4523:

[vT] recently transferred from BP to Ferguson’s Crossing.

Being a small-man guild, we were basically tired of the nonstop 50-70+ zergs that had nothing better to do than chase us around every time we stepped foot in a camp.

[Krew], [EmP] and [d0] also all transferred to FC (it was Krew’s idea for us to transfer with them, I admit, the other two guilds came a couple days later unexpectedly, which was cool).

Having gotten to fight the NSP groups, Darkhaven groups, Devona’s groups and Anvil Rock groups in the past two weeks, I’d like to say personally that this is the best choice we’ve made for our guild in quite some time. We were dubious that there wouldn’t be any fights to have, and uh, that’s just not true. There’s been fights any time of the day that we want, and that’s awesome.

There’s plenty of skilled roaming groups that we’ve come across, which is a nice change from the unskilled nature of most small groups in the higher tiers. DR, in particular, seems to have quite some solid groups that we’ve never gotten a chance to see before.

PS. We killed an ANet Mesmer on NSP the first night we were on FC. My battlecry was “I gotta go get ’em! To avenge the D/D Ele!” ;]

Welcome to FC! I saw Krew guys on last night, prob you others too (im AoE guild leader, we WvW a good bit). Yes we have many skilled roaming groups/guilds on FC and the lower tier servers allow these small fights to happen pretty often. Not sure id even play WvW if it was non-stop zerg all the time. again welcome!

Stealth server merger……

what server are they shutting down? none? not the same then

Brigg.6189:

positive threads are not allowed here. Please add worst meta ever and/or threaten to quit to your post to comply with forum guidelines

hahaha, so right

ill toss a “Hooray!” for the Devs as well

Sublimatio.6981:

NO, because everything works around gem shop, and already unlocked dyes wont be account bound

I think you got that wrong

haha, love that finisher! the dyes are too much of a gamble for me

Yes, im still logging in most days and visiting the forums to read about new changes, two thing I certainly wouldn’t do if I wasn’t enjoying the game and didn’t think it had a bright future.

I’d love this idea. 20 badges per tome

20? id think it’d have to be around 200 to be on par with similar costs for previous tomes, but that’s just like my opinion, man.

ah see, wvw badges income varies

With tpvp the amount can be predicted… but if you’re a romaer in wvw it could take hours to get 20 badges. If you’re on a losing server there will be no trains.

General rule of thumb is an horus work for a tomb. 200 is 8 horfus work on some servers.

e.g. I roam in wvw… I’d be luck to get a tomb in a week, let alone an hour at 200 badges

point taken, might be difficult to find a ‘fair’ price.

Zutha.5091:

Don’t you know that the “free world transfers” is just a way of doing server merger’s without calling it server mergers

almost, both shift the player population onto same servers yet mergers result in less total servers, transfers do not.

lordkrall.7241:

Ah, I remember back in the days when MMOs got updates once every third month or something like that at most. And that was when people paid monthly for them. And yet people didn’t really complain about the lack of updates.

well said, a little perspective is warranted here

I have not noticed any new guilds on Ferg Crossing. Of course I cant remember that last time we had a WvW guild leave or come to FC. I think we have been pretty consistent for a good bit now.

Yes, safe to say we will see ‘something’ on april 1st

Fluffball.8307:

I would bet they come through the LS since China will be starting fresh with us. It would be weird to have an expansion immediately after they start the game.

good point, I am hoping for at least a blog post outlining the rest of the year soon

safe to say new zones are coming, whether they be released via LS updates are a full expansion is yet to be known.

What do you mean 10 days? There is no new content coming for 3 months…

got any source on that 3 months?

It’s been stated that the China GW2 and normal GW2 will be in step for LS updates. This has people figuring that the second season of LS won’t start until after the China release goes live.

ah ok, I can follow that. I hope the feature patch has some kind of content, precursor crafting, guild missions, new PvP mode, or something.

ZudetGambeous.9573:

Also on FC, the world boss train has really created a atmosphere where people wait for reset to do the big world boss events/temples. While it is great that the serve does all the events everyday, again great, unless you are there for the reset train, you might have a hard time finding others to do the event.

Hello FC players,

AoE is an all purpose guild that has been in the game since launch. We are a fully upgraded guild that does PvE, WvW, and sPvP. We keep guild MF and Karma buffs up 24/7. We run ALL guild events weekly to get those guild commendations. We also have our own PvP arena that we hold guild events in weekly. The time zones for our guild players are both east coast and west coast, with most events happening at 9 pm EST on weekdays.

We also have a our own teamspeak channel (recommended not required to use), a website (less active now), a facebook page (very active now) and are welcoming recruits of ALL levels and experience. Our 2 rules for joining are 100% rep (we believe in building a consistent guild community) and we have a zero tolerance for hate or inappropriate speech on guild chat or TS.

Contact me in game for more information!

Medazolam
AoE Guild Leader

I love this idea

I also suggest joining an active guild. Ferg Crossing has a good number of active guilds EDGE, WZ and AoE (my guild, shameless plug). We still get a good number of new people to the game joining. Also I just wanted to say that your play time matters as well, as during the day (USA, EST) our server does tend to have low population, might be best to guest during those hours, however during prime hours FC does get quite busy! feel free to contact me in game (Medazolam)
