Guild Wars 2

you’re not the only one, this sort of thing kills games
at this point it looks like I won’t get time to do any of the halloween stuff

been having issues with this today, this sort of thing can really kill my interest in an mmo (especially if I might miss out on event content as a result) so I hope it’s resolved very soon
I really don’t recommending messing around with network settings to get it to work, if your internet is otherwise working fine then why should you

same bug here, I made the first back item before this latest update and had the cultivated seed in my bank, I created the chaos infused clay pot and activated the other key items before noticing I had the wrong seed all of a sudden

I’d like to see the character appearance on both these panels to show the back slot item

I would also like to see the preview panel to have all the same toggles as the hero panel
I ask for this because the head piece I use (from the shadow set) overrides the shoulder piece so when I go to preview a new shoulder piece I can’t actually see it without toggling off my head piece over in the hero panel

it seems to me that culling is back in WvW even with settings to highest

we need another way to get mist essence, like say.. salvaging ascended rings

This started after the recent maintenance

on top of that I noticed before the maintenance that sometimes when using a waypoint I would get another notification for the last achievement I got

I would like to see ascended rings salvageable for a chance for ecto (same rate as rare/exotic) and a chance for mist essence
those mist essences don’t drop very often for me

at least you didn’t d/c in WvW and died for no reason

Melana.8345:

ArenaNet have already said that the Jan monthly regardless of when it was completed would not award laurels: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Will-existing-achievements-get-converted/1214179

So this is not a bug.

cool, I was thinking before they either need to give out laurels or completely exclude January

So I’ve been told that some people are getting the 10 laurels for the january monthly. Is this rumor true, can anyone confirm? If so they need to reimburse those of us that completed the monthly prior.

probably just trolls

I agree that it would be nice to still interact with guilds you aren’t representing, on the other side of things though there’s not enough information about the members not representing where at the very least it would be handy to have a “last represented” timestamp

just you, you can see the numbers on others when you heal them and this trait never does that

have you tried the shadow set? http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Shadow_armor
it’s available from about level 25 across several zones from karma vendors

this is the sort of thing I’d like to see in the home instance as player housing

how about also if your side is undermanned then kills drop medals a lot more often

I found out why the bandit caves for queensdale lag so terribly much. It’s the HUD/GUI. While using the “Point of interest” movie cinematic in the cave, the movie runs at 60 fps as if there was no problem at all. With the HUD/GUI on, the caves run around 5~15 fps.

When exiting the cave or looking away from the cave’s deepest parts, the fps gets instantly better.

While looking down at certain areas, I can easily acheive higher than 60 fps (if vsync is off.) This actually said 61 when I took it, but went to 59 when the screenshot was taken:

here are the options used:

same here

this is a bit off topic but anyway, even with an i7 I get lots of issues with the contacts panel or the guild panel (with a large guild at least) up

it’s the CPU, the game is particular CPU-bound when there is a lot going on nearby
I actually had the that same CPU up until recently and had to always turn graphics setting to minimum while in WvW to get a decent frame rate
I also noticed that while most PvE was ok some graphically intense areas like Wintersday Lions Arch were really bad (about 15 fps)

I’ve switched to an Intel CPU (changing just the CPU and Motherboard) and now I always get a smooth frame rate in WvW with the same graphics settings as before (auto-detect)

from what I’ve been hearing the only AMD processors that perform reasonably are the high end ones

who knows, maybe this will become available when they open that resort on southsun cove

the one on the left looks like the gw1 flesh golem if I remember correctly

as annoying as it is it’s kinda funny how auto targeting is supposed to “automatically select an appropriate target for you” yet seems to do the exact opposite
and I hate to resort to tab targeting since that also has a tendency to select inappropriate targets

my biggest issue with the personal story is that it doesn’t feel very personalized, unfortunately I don’t see them changing it very much since players will be at different steps in their story or even finished their entire story

I can imagine the FX8350 on overclock runs incredibly hot too

hate to say it but you aren’t likely to get great performance on any AMD CPU, even if you “upgrade” to a bulldozer/piledriver
by all means try it though

which OS? you might need to run the game as administrator if the dat file is installed under Program Files (which the default location is)
I also vaguely remember the support db mentioning that this may be caused by your dat file being corrupted

Well of Darkness and Plague are incredibly useful in dungeons for example

my pick is Shadow set

heh, wording might give you that impression, it’s actually similar to the GW1 Parasitic Bond which was also for healing yourself

killing a risen in cursed shores healed me for ~1030 (498 healing power)

initially thought I’d like The Crossing but in the end the crazy physics on the lantern just look silly
my favourite is Deathwish, looks great combined with Mad Memories (the original green one)

those kids behind the LA bank are annoying
and lets not forget ogden’s hammer, I know I wont

as everyone else is saying it becomes much more useful once you start to add traits and then it’s use will actually vary depending on what traits you decide on, personally I use Unyielding Blast which really helping with damage
as an added bonus if you have traits points into that line (soul reaping) you generally should be able to stay in death shroud for a bit longer (in theory at least)

All I want for Wintersday is guesting

land sharks are not uncommon in Tyria..

well you can see it from the PvP locker so there must be a PvP version
Sites that list items have a couple of different items with the same skin but are probably not attainable

can he take a screenshot of this?

kinda vague what “uncommon” means, I thought this would take exotic, rare, and masterwork gear but seemed to only take masterwork (didn’t take rares)

small thing but when I buy something with fractal tokens from the vendor, the counter on the vendor window does not update to the remaining tokens

similar to a recipe bug that was fixed not that long ago it seems that this is wrong also:
when I put in 4 medallions instead of getting a random medallion or crest I sometimes get a jewel

my necro wears full shadow set dyed black with tarnished steel, I love it but which staff should I stick to?

I’ve notice that if I were moving in a direction by holding down the movement keys (to strafe and such) and I either try to pick up an object, get immobilized, etc. which interrupts movement that particular movement key becomes “sticky” where you need to press it again in order to stop moving
this happens the most with the jade maw where I need to move to a shard and pick it up quickly

(for those wondering this isn’t necessarily a keyboard issue but rather the game registering key press vs key release)

seems like rubberbanding more than anything else to me

no one a fan of Deathscythe Hell?

it’s getting quite annoying that I often can’t join a group easily because when I right-click on their name I only get the “invite” option
I would rather see “invite” do both functions like in GW1, with the added bonus of allowing groups to merge together

At world selection we get a column for “population” which some people point to when they hear that there aren’t many people still playing but this isn’t a very good indicator at all since this seems to be based off the number of accounts tied to each world regardless of whether they are active or not

It would be nice if we also had an “activity” column at world selection showing the relative level of active players on each world at the time
This would be very handy for those of us trying to find a world that has a decent level of activity at the time they tend to play at, from the perspective of either transferring players, new players or guesting (when that’s available)

Zeefa.3915:

I actually like the way it is right now. Would like the options to townsclothes/costumes automaticly show in towns and automaticly go back to armor outside of the towns.

I strongly agree with this
I’d love to be able to automatically switch to town clothes while in a city, especially once there are more designs to pick from that aren’t silly looking “costumes”

you can’t wear town clothes during combat because it would look ridiculous

probably not
I’m curious, did it have the same stats?

I got disconnected during our run which teleports me back to LA however I have no idea how I can get back in, if I try the gate it seems to try to create a new instance and then kicks the whole party back to LA
second time I got disconnected I didn’t bother trying to get back in

you are kidding right?

how do you even dye them? I don’t see that on the interface
would be nice though if you could get exotic versions though so you can at least match your headgear stats

that’s unfortunate because the whispers one is pretty convenient to get to from LA
