Guild Wars 2

Thank you for response. Least now I know there will be a reason to continue logging in, should that time come I do have a change of heart.

So I know that if you log in during the set times that the Living Story is free. Now what Im not sure about is, if I decide not to purchase PoF at start, but once the living story starts I log in during those set times, if I change my mind later and purchase PoF will those story lines be available or will I have to purchase them?

JustTrogdor.7892:

Didn’t really see enough to give much feedback. Mounts… blah. My concern from watching the announcement program is that the maps look like they may be more multi tiered massive jumping puzzles similar to dry top and HoT maps which I hate. I hope that’s not the case. I’ll wait till I participate in the open beta weekend to see if I’ll pre-purchase or not.

Could not have put it any better. I will explore on beta, but was not left with the hype to buy now or any time soon.

Strider Pj.2193:

Some one needs to be t4.

Don’t fret, if it is as bad you you say, you will likely become a linked server. And on of the guest servers will unlink. Then you get the pleasure of being liked to random worlds.

Its not the T4 that bothers anyone, its being locked in T4 that seems to be the issue. And if we are locked then how could we become link?

See that one sentence actually makes no sense when you look at it, your locked because your full, but you will be a link if you do not have the population.

I think what we had was a fairly strong link coming into the rewards, the same goes for SoR both heavy with pve’ers, then they started to see the commitment they would have to make and some didnt bother, then add to that the decay, low ranked players stopped turning up, no one on TC is doing extra hours.

CD is still open, now we could say thats all the links, but their population combined is way more than TC/SoR yet we are still locked. Lets not forget the week 1up1down started and TC were thrown under the bus by being placed in a match it didnt belong.

This is now about morale since all these posts keep popping up. People play for fun and as it stands its not that much fun. And before anyone says transfer, last linkings it was SoS floating at the bottom, now with links its able to compete. Linking’s do not work if everyone just transfers at a whim every 2 months, transferring could mean its even worse next link. Something is wrong with how they are calculating population.

Phantom.8130:

Missy.7356:

But at this point even I wonder whatever they are using to calculate population and links has instore for us next time. (puts away tinfoil hat)

https://www.safalniveshak.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/monkey_darts.jpg

Now I understand!! Thank you.

If im right, we got just 5 more weeks and its all change again. Better asking why is TC still locked since with the current link no way it has a full population.

For your own peace of mind stop looking at the score, try and have fun, and in 5 weeks it could be someone else in the same situation.

But at this point even I wonder whatever they are using to calculate population and links has instore for us next time. (puts away tinfoil hat)

Will be interesting to see how long sieges go now, if nothing dies on wall and you can not reach the siege so no exp gained, and your not on the treb or cata.

McKenna Berdrow.2759:

We are looking into this.

Thank you, hopefully we all get to find out why it happened .

So does anyone know what DB/HoD/SoS warscore was last match v’s the match points? Because DB seemed to have won the match points, but did they win the war score?

Just interested because what I thought was 1up1down didnt happen.

morrolan.9608:

Not talking about compared to months ago, I’m talking about compared to just before the latest LS release hit. TC definitely had a lot more players in WvW before it was released.

This is what happens when a server get spawn camped, their keeps get way pointed and they are already fighting a more populated server. If the time you spend playing a game, is not fun, then you find something else to do, and this is a game, this is not something I have to do to as a daily chore.

This is a choice you make, if you go out of your way to make people’s game time not fun, then dont expect them to keep showing up.

I heard someone once say, if you want to keep playing with your toys make sure not to break them.

Xenesis.6389:

Now imagine if your server had no links and was on it’s own still….
If you can’t find players to join on your own server, then maybe it’s time to look at a transfer to the servers are you are seeing groups you wish to join, and not wait for an anet solution to your situation. The only difference is a merge is basically a free permanent transfer to servers you may not even like. If you don’t want to pay for transfers I don’t know what else to tell you on that.

What you are saying that if you play wvw, your game mode has a sub, since you could end up having to pay to move every 2 months. And thats why nothing will change, no one can still give a good reason why I should have to keep paying to transfer just so I can play and have fun but if I pvp or pve I get the same game experience regardless of server.

This time I chose not to pay and not to play. Im still at stalking the forums stage, im sure at some point that will seem fruitless too.

I want to thank Anet for giving me a reason to turn off my PC and go outside. My family is maybe not so thankful :p

Just a bit of feedback if you are still reading these. Stop listening to people and get playing and see for yourself, seems most just have a personal agenda and its not a fit all fix.

michelada.2947:

I’m planning to move from T1 which tier do you recommend?

Be prepared to spend gems every 2 months. Today’s healthy server could be the next relinking nightmare.

TC rolled T1 on a 5% chance.. proves no one is safe from that kind of rng.

QuickRain.4735:

good keep the rejects in t1 <3, or just xfer out

Im on TC, havent logged in now for 3 days, see no reason to. Im not going to transfer, but I will log in here to see if things change, but today Im posting there are more like me that just logged out and will not bother to even see if there are changes, they are gone for good.

Give me one reason why I should pay extra for a game to have fun? Or better still that I will not have to hand more gems over come next relinking? or the relinking after. Mr PvE’er does not have to pay extra for their game mode, Mr sPvP does not have to pay extra for theirs either, now give me one good reason why I should be made to pay for something that could even be worse come next linkings.

Every fix has created more damage, 5 4 3 locking tiers in, opening the giant server so the pvx’ers and guilds that can not fight alone could transfer in enmasse, locking servers that shouldnt have been locked, playing god without even getting into game to see what the real issue were. Feel free to hand over your gems bi-monthly to a company with no foresight, but I will not be paying.

(before anyone asks for my gold, i might need i one day so NO!)

I would like to invite the Anet players to come and play in T1, not on BG because I know that you might think they need more people, time to see it from the other side.

Im sure you will have fun, oh and make sure you have spawn waypoint keybind as it adds a certain flavour to the match up.

Come join the fun that trying to fix something created.

So since i decided to take another toon through this because the first is bugged and I do not want to do the first part over and over. How do I stop this bug recurring on the 2nd toon, I got as far as collecting items, but as yet to make the elixir, the fire stone shows up on vendor but im worried to continue as I have not found this story fun so I really dont want to have to keep repeating.

The poll has ended! The final results are:
60.1% WvW Scoring Improvements Phase 2
39.9% WvW Matchmaking Improvements
This means that the WvW team’s next big priority will be adding rewards to Skirmishes and improving the Skirmish UI. Thanks to everyone who voted!

Hi Berdrow

new rewards will be on this month ?

I wish I could see the funny side of this, give better rewards for skirmishes, opens up BG.
I want to laugh, I want to think its April come early, but some one is so out of the loop that is making decisions at this current time, its all become a big joke.

I did not vote in this, since it gave 2 options 1up1down or rewards, neither was the way I wanted to vote, the 3rd option was let me see results.

You failed us.

Gandara > SoR (went for a vacation since my GW1 friends were all on NA servers, have yet to return) > TC

(Please make it so that you can visit NA from EU to open world, then I will stop being one of those off hours people that unbalances matches, and play EU prime in EU and still have contact with friends in NA!)

Torolan.5816:

Snip
Many people are going to play less when they reach the cap, I have seen it happen multiple times.

I reached the cap this week, could have been before, but this week I noticed it, yesterday I did not bother to log in, not sure I will bother today or maybe until the next story develops.

I said to a friend ingame this week when he was talking about legendary armour, once a game start to exclude its daily casual players and focus’s only on the elitist, its just matter of time before GW2 goes the same way as GW1 into maintenance only.

Like it or not, you need people to keep logging in, for that you have to give them a reason. What the people here are saying that they do not want any competition to their Leadersboard standings, I personally do not care for any of that, since I do not intend to stand killing ambients for hours with a torch and any other weapon I havent completed yet (such skill needed for this it seems). But the daily AP gave me a sense of progression, something to do when I logged in, now there is no point.

While JQ runs so big in SEA, be it with casuals or not, you still have more SEA than any one else.

My feedback, enjoyed the story, the new map is fun, i enjoy quests so to see the return of hearts was good. Only downside, i also like scavenger hunts so hunting for the tokens was keeping me occupied until I heard someone say that there was some in the new jump puzzle, which in your words was one of the harshest, not everyone likes jump puzzles and with some of the lag in the new map I am not even going to try.

Personally let the people who enjoy hours of frustration have it, but next time please dont put collection items in jump puzzles. (after spending over 3hrs in the silverwastes one collecting gold coins I swore never to go into a jump puzzle again, the frustration was unreal even with mesmer help)

Im EU in NA server, unable to connect to wvw error code 1068:9:17:4738:101, am hearing of more people having same issue once they leave the wvw maps.

Jeknar.6184:

DeLys.5380:

McKenna Berdrow.2759:

Now that both maps are available to players, at all times, we can begin deciding if we want bloodlust to become a feature in Desert.

Ok, how can it not be a feature and have all things equal with scoring? I don’t get that.

Huh, not having a bloodlust give more purpose to it imo. There is more incentive to fight over it since one server will always be short. It’s kinda like SMC. There is only 1 castle for all 3 servers. Now we have only 2 bloodlust for 3 servers.

Most people were pretty confortable with only having 1 bloodlust (hardly going to contest other map ones). Now one server is out of the confort zone.

Except its the Red side that has to fight for it, it already has the disadvantage of Overlook being trebbed from SM, and now has to go fight continuously in the Alpine maps since unless you stay in ruins its lost, not something I call a fun nights play., “Hey I capped ruins” “Hey I capped ruins again”

Red gets the bigger map to have to try and defend. Red also tends to be the least populated server, so again making them work harder for something the other servers just have to jump out of Gari to get.

Sorry but im still not seeing the “fun” part. Why should green/blue get something handed to them but red has to actually go out of its way to get. I know balance is something not known in wvw but at least an effort could be made.

Same EU playing on NA servers, but im getting errors even when there isnt anyone around.

Vayne.8563:

You seem not to have met the scenario of having completed the the events to a T4 to have someone map in and Tag up for a hero point train, at this point you have 2 choices, you move maps and lose your participation or stay and have map chat become toxic since “no one tells me how to play” you end up leaving anyway.

LFG is filled up more with people looking to raid (why does raids not have its own LFG by now?) and last minute people start calling for groups to meta, my game time just lately has been sitting in a map refreshing the “LFG” now its pot luck of if you can get into a map with people that actually want to do the meta, or people running about exploring, I can not choose a map that is doing hero point train or meta, i can try and relog, i can try guesting and hoping I get a different map, but if I turn up early and do events this does not mean the map will fill with people wanting to do meta, and eventually I will have to lose that participation due to having to leave to find a map playing the way I want too.

Saying that Silverwastes had it wrong, there are more LFG calling people to SW than there are to maps in HoT, now tell me if a timer is working in HoT or having to work for it before the boss spawns like SW.

As is stands HoT map can become become explosive due to pitting the Hero Point train against the people wanting to do meta, all these people have a right to play how they want, but they can not choose a map with people due how to megaservers work, too many times I have volunteered to leave a “empty” map to find the one it places me in has far less progression with fewer people.

If I search LFG and see a SW at 50% I can go there, get my 5 stacks and i am with people wanting to do the event, this is something you can not do with HoT maps, even if its a T4 all it takes is a hero point champ to map in and things go badly. Dont get me started on how I can be in a squad for start of DS and still be unable to get into the same map as them at the start.

Im glad that you have a guild around you giving you a different perspective of how these maps play out, you seem to have a lot of time to play as well, its just a shame you can not see it from other posters perspective.

Just wondering if anyone else lost Karma after the wintersday update, I seem to have misplaced 10 million karma.

When I logged out last night I had over 15 million karma and now im down to just over 5million.

Feeling sad

ruki.2398:

For all 32bit OS there’s probably a solution:
- run Command Prompt as administrator
- run this command: bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVa 3072
- restart your computer and play GW2

I was able to play HOT content without any crash after this. And I don’t have to use the lowest graphic settings.

I did this last night, I managed to play a whole meta event without crashing, infact I didnt have a crash all evening, but come this today Im back to crashing after 5mins, everytime I log in and see another new build my heart sinks since each one makes the problem worse.

Ive logged onto my alt account, no HoT because why waste money on a game i already brought 3 times (twice on my main and buying an alt), it clear of crashes, no issue, can jump maps no problem, played in WvW no lag,

So anyone that is thinking of purchasing HoT or upgrading their account to HoT, I wouldnt unless you like crashing.

ruki.2398:

I have 32bit OS, before yesterday’s update core Tyria was running smoothly for me, HOT content was crash festival… But yesterday everything changed and I didn’t have to play game to crash- starting client was sufficent. I’ve read at FB comments that manually changing IncreaseUserVA to 3072 can help at tried this. I didn’t have enough time to test but I’ve played around hour- I’ve done Tarir defence meta event without any crash.
Now I’m planning to hop to game for longer time and I’m hoping that solution’ll help. GW2 has awesome playerbase- they know better than devs what to do with game to be playable. :O

Just gave this a go, so far longest ive been ingame without a crash, completed my first meta event in Tarir.

So far so good.

No longer able to move maps without crashing, and now I can not load into those chars, the map wont load, then I get the error for lost connection to the server.

How can such buggy updates be allowed to be released, if I did my job this good Id be out of work.

Have they posted any info regarding this anywhere else, since this forum is rarely used to answer these kinds of posts.

Im sure this was tested like the last time…. Its like a mini game now, how long can I stay connected and can I get to where i need to go before I dc. Just add a betting system im sure that would keep us amused during all the crashes… I mean who wants to play for more than 15mins anyway.

(incase anyone did not understand, yes this was sarcasm with a big helping of frustation)

Seems to have been pushed to 2nd page this is still an ongoing issue.

Since im a glutton for punishment, I thought I would give Auric Basin another go, i mean surely after 3 weeks things must be getting better…. seems not, 3 tries 3 crashes always logging into a empty map with no completion. I will know next time, not to hand over any money until the content is released and fully tried out, pre- purchase was a big mistake.

This is really frustrating, no way to complete a meta event like this, I just looked at my achievements and i have 0 Tarir completes since I have never been able to stay connected long enough in a decent map to succeed.

Its the weekend so no fix for the time being, with xmas holidays approaching in the words of Trahearne “This is not going to end well”

Bumping since this is still not resolved.

The build up to raids has started and some people can not spend more than 20mins in a HoT map without the dc’s, this still going to happen in raids?

I know I know.. when its ready.

Bumping, as this is still happening.

Beldin.5498:

Coco.5670:

Still happening, crash pretty much once every world boss. It’s definitely not my rig, I spent over 2k on it, and ran GW2 on max settings with 0 crashes or any performance issues, until HoT came out.

You spent over 2k on a your PC and it still can’t run a 64-bit OS ?

You can actually play with out crashing, yet you keep posting and not playing.. i mean whats with that?

Sephalo.5407:

I’m sorry guys, I’m no longer gonna keep bumping this thread.
I’m giving up. I won’t suspect a fix coming soon.
A new Hearthstone patch is coming and I’m gonna play that for a while. This game is just done for me. Much money and hours down the drain, but I can’t afford a better computer so it’s game over for me. I lost trust in ArenaNet. Big time…

This so much, HoT totally ruined, well played, when its ready… except everything is always released in a beta form and fixed at some point if we are lucky.

Il keep bumping it but im sure this is just being ignored.

Now a 64bit update has been done, does this mean that there will be no fix for the 32? Are we are doomed to be permanently crashing.

Eagelseye.6312:

Missy is your game completely downloaded?

yes, but im a 32bit problem.

Beldin.5498:

Win10-64, Intel i5 2500k, Radeon R9 290x , 8GB RAM

Client completly patched, no crashes at all with these settings :

Im glad that you do not have any issues, I get that since you post in every thread regarding this issue. But people are crashing, they are getting OoM errors and you posting everything is ok in my world is not helping those that can not play the game, crash out of maps on meta thus unable to finish since you end up in an empty map on relog, infact the issue now extends further than the new maps, its everywhere.

Just because this is not happening to you, does not mean this is not happening to many others, if you check out the other thread, you will see its not just a 32bit problem. And if I was not crashing constantly I would actually be ingame playing, as it is I check the forums now to see if anyone has a solution to the problems and if the Devs are actually going to fix the issue.

Sorry if that sounded rude, but frustation can do that.

Have fun.

I have been unable to complete one map meta event since I get the OoM error at some point, I lose all participation rewards and usually end up in an empty map unable to finish the event. I have been doing everything solo since I can not be depended upon to finish what I start.

I was refusing to get frustrated at this, hoping at some point they would be able to sort out the issue, I check here everyday to see if the issue has even been acknowledged, but the silence is deafening, leveling the new masteries have been a rough task since its taking me twice as long because of all the crashes.

But as you can see the frustration is building and its just a game, at this point in time I would not buy another product from anet since they say my system is able to play the game but its not anymore. They need to change the requirements needed so no one else has to waste money on a game they can not play.

If they are unable to fix this issue they should at least let people know, so we can move on.

And thats the issue, something has changed about the system now required, I could play everywhere no issue except in silverwastes, now i cant play anywhere without getting the error, it could be 5 mins or i can play for 30mins .. but i know at some point il be kicked.

If the game requirements have changed then at least tell people, I feel like i wasted money on game I can no longer play (and if i had the money I would ofc upgrade, just like if they had said they requirements are different and I can no longer play even on the lowest settings, I would not have brought HoT and I would have gone found something else to do)

(I have been playing since beta, have a lot of hrs clocked up, this is the first time I have had errors to this extent)

If people could just read what we are being told they would know that there is a vendor in the Priory.

Since you seem to be a font of knowledge and I dont have time to go through 17 pages, have they said when we would be getting the missing blooms from 1st day? Since last I heard was at the end of event, and its ended and I still dont have my day 1 awards.

Infusion.7149:

Try running the -repair flag to check the archive

Then run the -windowed and -perf flags on a shortcut

I tried all these and still was unable to get further than the Play before is crashed. Very sad bunny

As the post title says, where do people go to now to find a Guild, since this site is not really used for this, Im not a redit fan so finding something on there is similar to pulling teeth. I looked through some of the links in the Guild thread, but most went nowhere except the redit one…. :*(

Was just wondering if there was a recent site people were using now.

Read: WE DO NOT CARE!!!

Thats a copy/paste generic answer, I had one that said exact same thing about 6 months ago when I reported a siege troll (who is still around today)

PPK has been a fail, since Im betting that most people killed this week have been by people with the golem buff. A bug/exploit that has been allowed to continue for the event aka karma train.
