Guild Wars 2

Hi guys,

I’ve come back to game after a few months and I’ve noticed that my mouse sometimes freezes during gameplay. At first I thought it is because it is wireless (Logitech M720), but GW2 is the only game in which this happens, plus I’ve noticed the following:
In past, when I was running forward (W), and doing quick circles around myself by holding right mouse button and moving it to side, the movement was fluid.
Now, the movement is stuttering — every two steps the character stutters, it doesn’t look fluid anymore. The same is happening on my old mouse.

As you can imagine, losing control of my mouse during a jumping puzzle, raid, or any other encounter is quite problematic.

Is someone else also experiencing this issue?

Kind regards,
Alisar Dius

Yes, kamedin, I know I can’t expect much. It just gets a bit ridiculous that there are no news whatsoever and the lack of legendary armor is just… well, not funny, not sad, it is just very weird. Making 3 armor sets can’t take 2 years.

Hi everyone!

How is it going in Tyria? I haven’t been playing the game for a few months now, if I don’t count launch days of new living story episodes. However, I’m planning on coming back once I graduate from my university this June.

I was just wondering what we can expect from coming months. Like…how many more living world episodes before the Expansion pack 2? When is the Legendary armor finally coming? Are there still some players new to raids? – I would loved to form some causal raiding guild and learn to kill all those new bosses.

Also, it would be awesome to hear whether the game ever gets some performance tuning – I tried it on my friend’s high end desktop (i7 7700k, GTX 1080) and the game still didn’t run completely smooth in LA / World Boss events. I guess this is something that is not really possible to improve on the game engine?

I think the storm is God-sent. This is the first time after a very very very long time I feel hyped about GW2. It actually made me log in into forum account and write this message. (I haven’t been posting here or playing GW2 since September when I started playing console games)

I can’t foretell in which order we will fight Primordus, jormag and kralkatorrik, but I’m pretty sure the last one will be Bubbles because it will open up a new chapter of guild wars 2 – let’s call it GW2 Beyond. We will be finally able to revisit Elona, Cantha, and possibly travel further to some new regions.

It was 5 to 6 AM = IN THE MORNING
What did you expect? Try playing when people wake up.

Teleport to Friend

I main Guardian since open beta and I say DHs has to be restricted to only one per team. Period. SPvP revolves around holding little points. Which gets impossible when you are pitted against a team of 4 guardians who spam traps on those points and decimate you with a flurry of arrows on distance.

I had quite a good match in duo with my friend. We joined forces with the other 3 guys from the match through that new joining functionality… that was a very bad idea. We got teamed up against 3 trap spamming LB DHs. Look at the result on the picture.

Now it is DH, before it was Engi, before that necro…so what? Learn to counter it. Don’t wait for some miraclous build on metabattle.

I agree, downed state in pvp is plainly stupid. If they want to keep it in, they should rework it so the ressed player has only 5% HP and a special debuff which decreases damage dealt and received healing by 90% for 10 seconds. Or something of that sort. And if he gets downed again, he should die instantly. Getting downed shouldn’t work as a defensive and stalling tactic. And bring back faster stomping with quickness!!!!

Oh, maybe I get it, after leaving a map, you grouped all the reward together or automatically put the reward in my inventory? I can see 5 unidentified dyes, so it should be fine.

Hi,
I was placed to emerald this season. I played the first match and received chests for crossing emerald and also 4 chests from amber. I didn’t retrieve this reward in pvp map. I went out of the pvp instance into pvp lobby, and then I got a pop up chest for finished daily (from pvp) and a chest from Arah reward track. I picked those up, and then, to my big surprise, only two amber chests showed up.

actual result:
chests I got from my first ranked in this season: – daily, reward track, 2x amber

expected result: daily, reward track, 4x amber, 1x division crossing chest.

You can see on my screenshot that I got that green chest pop up. But it disappeared.

Sorry, but I’m not touched by a gambling story of some rich privileged kid with swimming pool and 2500 USD free for buying gems. Good for arenanet.

Brilliant move! Absolutely magnificent!

It’s not like over 80% of your playerbase steadily walk into the traps like they’re giving away free candies.

So now we’re stuck with this revamped noob stomper in a game where the MMR is absolutely horrendous ..if there is any at all.

Now from double condi war..we have double dh trap spammer on point with your team feeding opposition like lemmings.

I got insta downed twice today on my thief. Im using the Power/pre/tough/ferocity amulet and i knew it was coming but it was a close match and i needed to get on it to prevent it from getting capped. Boom insta downed

the other time i got pulled so cudos to that guardian. But we won!!!!!!

As thief you are not really supposed to run onto contested point. You steal the empty ones and gang poor souls in the woods. Always on move and never against stationary targets like guardian ele or scrapper

SolarDragon.7063:

Meditrappers have always been reliable but not able to compete at the top due to projectile hate and lack of real sustain.

However, their two best counters (tempest and scrapper) have been nerfed, probably not unduly, but the nerfs have undoubtedly allowed DH to actually compete at the top level again.

Also combined meditrap bursts are probably scarier than any other class if they duo you and you don’t have access to invulns (many classes don’t).

However, DH still has lower brawling power than most classes. Don’t try and facetank their alpha burst skills and you can normally get the kill, sometimes even force THEM off point.

I tried my meditrapper after the patch. It is now actually possible to kill bunker Ele but it still takes a long time which is OK I think. And scrapper, well he beat me 4 times in a couple of seconds. Basically he will stun lock you and get you down instantly. There is no much you can do. Only to prolong the suffering little longer. It is kind of strange that engi is so strong. I played it during the season and I kept destroying enemies even in 1v2. No matter what class.

Good suggestion, thanks. I have only 15 LI and since my guild stopped raiding I didn’t raid at all just because I was scared of the people’s attitude

Hunter.4783:

So perhaps instead of nerfing the class because your team (and yourself ) can’t find the dodge key perhaps they need to learn proper pvp play?

How to dodge multiple DH trap coming from 2 or 3 DH in a point and if you try to run you will lose the point unless your talking 1vs1 the game is not balance in 1 vs 1 there will always 1 teammate that will help that DH and you will be 1vs2 the dh now can lay traps while the other will pressure you. To make DH traps balance they have to put 1 sec cast or 2 for laying traps just like in ranger in guild wars 1.

It is easy. If 2-3 guardians stand on one point they are noobs. Just ignore them and get other two points.
Meditrappers are not as good as you think.

LoL, OP, you must be a really bad PVPer. Have you even tried DH? Compated to some other professions he is hard AF. Any half-decent pvper will dodge the traps. Characters like scrappers can just faceroll you. Which brings me to question: have you tried playing scrapper? I did, and compared to my experience with playing DH, revenant, warrior and necro, scrapper is a total noob class. You just spam CC after CC, jump around, do ridiculous amount of damage with your homing hammer, break out of stun with a million of abilities and when you get low, you turn immortal, invisible and charge your health back to full. Rinse and repeat. DH is by far much harder character to play, and you can’t just rush into a teamfight and faceroll everyone.

So you think ArenaNet owes you anything? That they will build the game around you? Game has rules. Stop crying and get those masteries if you really want those shards.

I don’t get why you play games that might cause danger to your health. Just delete it. Forget it. There is milion other games to play.

?

Seriously? Kill it until it lays eggs!

LoL…. two people respond to my post without even reading it. Ultimate edition is no longer available. Probably because of the current discount. They could have kept it there by offering it for 87,50€. = no additional discount on gems.

Why is there no Ultimate edition? It could still had the price of discounted HoT Deluxe +50€ or something like that. People would still save and you would still earn a lot.

slashlizardy.9167:

I am not a F2P GW2 player, but I don’t have many HoT masteries completed, just enough to finish the last LS, but can LS 3 be completed without needing HoT masteries? For instance, if a F2P player buys LS3 off the gemstore can they get through it without needing HoT masteries at all?

F2P player cannot play LW3. He has to buy HoT, thus buying the game, thus he is no more F2P.

Danikat.8537:

Was that bit at the end of the trailer related to Fractals?

It looked like it with the floating islands, and the post did say there’s new Fractals stuff coming, but the video itself seemed to be mainly focused on the main storyline and Fractals isn’t usually part of that.

Yes, I recon it was from the new fractal island

I saw one person last week with a Fused longbow and another with a Fused staff, so they’re around even though rare.

And I have Mjolnir so I see it every day. ^^

Also frequently conjured for the southern octovine.

Yah, the ele conjured weapon has the same appearance as Mjolnir for some reason. If anyone wants to see what it looks like in game besides a preview, that’s one way to do it.

On that path, has anyone ever seen the actual exotic shield cragstone?
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Cragstone

Wou! I play since beta and I have never seen that shield!!! Amazing look!

http://dulfy.net/2016/07/12/gw2-living-world-season-3-starts-july-26/

Well done, well done amazing tease at the end…powerful and scary. I really did shed a tear of happiness (or two…..okay, it was at least five)

I agree with the OP. Thieves spam evade + invisibility too often, even on basic thief build. On my power shiro rev, on which I have a lot of experience and I think I am fairly good, I just stood no chance against a thief in 1v1. 90% of my attacks were evaded or got evaded during the time I started inflicting them. Making the thief losing only a bit of health and hiding in shadow. And in turn, he could inflict deadly damage on me that I could evade only by shiro evade, shield bubble or glint healing skill or staff 3, which was still not good enough to beat him since he can pop a lot of damage almost every time he hits. So for him, it is just waiting until I am on cooldowns. At best, it would be a stalled, never-ending fight. The only thing that can stop him is big burst AOE like scrapper or DH.

I love your ideas OP.
Especially the long term goals suggestion. I missed season 1 and now I had big problem getting to tier high enough to get that beautiful backpiece. Thankfully I managed to do it in the end and next season I will need Ruby division again to get the legendary version. But it would be really nice if I could do it at my own pace. Like…why there can’t be off-season ranked …seasons.. ? Ones that are not bound to any tournament and serve only as something where you can grind your achievements and have fun.

Yes, the GM rush was activated by my guild. I am 100% sure I successfully finished it. I waited like 30 minutes on the map even after the rush event ended. No chest. At this point I don’t care anymore, but I think I just cannot get over the fact the GMs were working fine until Anet decided to “improve” them. Like all the little fun chests that were removed – the one in the bottom of rhe well in Langmar, the cheese thingy, rush chests…and when i count in bugged reward like the one I reported, the GMs are just a shame. The guy who broke perfectly good code and made it this buggy thing should do something about it.

Hi devs,
after a few months I decided to do GMs and I again didn’t get chest after completing rush (Bear Cub under Durmand Priori). Can we please get fix of this already? My guild mate also didn’t get it, but for him it was in the crab race in Southsun.

Thank you in advance.

That is a single player game.

So, as the title says, I am stuck in that for three straight days and I am quite desperate now since I need to get to ruby. What am I supposed to do? How to cheat this other than playing thief or stronghold? And if I already got gut

Hi guys,
When the wing 3 was released and I logged in, my game ran at like 12 FPS. Normally it is 45+. Some good soul told me to try to restart the whole game and it helped. Now I was playing daily, everything ran smoothly, but today (when I desperately need to get to Ruby) My game again runs at like 12 FPS and this time the restart didn’t help. So I deleted the whole game and Local.dat in AppData\Roaming. Currently I am still downloading the client but I don’t believe it will help. And even if it will, this issue should be resolved.
EDIT: Yep, it didn’t help. What should I do?

I think it should be 15. Anet has to realize that killing boss once is already a great feast of skill and cooperation, but doing it 150 times is just too much. I spent a lot of time in raids, I acquired some good skills and had lot of fun, yet I have just 15 LI (stuck at Slothasor for weeks now or we don’t have the numbers to raid ). But I think 25 is just right for ArenaNet’s philosophy for grinding exclusives, so I don’t expect any change.

Hi guys,
I was hoping I will be able to finish my legendary backpack in a year, but now I see that I am quite behind (because I missed season 1) and I won’t be able to get the League Elite achievements. There is just no way I will get to Diamond on the last season or twice to ruby. There is just not enough time for me. In the past, I have heard that the backpack will be still possible to finish after the first year of seasons, but now I read this:
“None of achievements reset between seasons. The current achievements do need to be completed in a year. However, the current achievements can be progressed throughout the entire year and do not reset.”

Is this really a thing? If it is, I can just stop worrying about it and stop running for it.

RoseofGilead.8907:

They changed it to right-click instead of left-click.

oh, it does work… meh, right click feels weird

-title
edit: nor full map

Meh. We still didn’t manage to kill Slothasor. I am not hyped for this at all.

Make scaling difficulties. At this point I don’t care about legendary armor or beating it at this HC difficulty.

Legendary sigil and runes will have to come sooner or later. Probably later.

Masteries are rewards for mastering the game. You can’t master some content? You won’t get mastery for it. It is a simple endgame progress system.

It was actually fun. It felt like mini raid. And I didn’t even do it with my friends. That would be even bigger fun. Anyway, you don’t really need that achievement. If you are completionist, it is certainly not the hardest achievement to do. If you are raider and you need the viper amulet, you can certainly find some friends too. If you need just the mastery, you can easily get some other one. If you are neither of these, just ignore it if you don’t feel like trying some challenge. There is nothing wrong with the difficulty, especially now when they fixed the bugs with encounters.

I have no clue what you are saying. Go on wiki and read how masteries work.

You must be lucky. It is all about where the chopper spawns and where Mordremoth is. They have to be close. When you get the bomb, dodge all the mordrem sniper aoes and any damage, throw the bomb on the edge of the platform near Mordremoth’s head.

Guys, we are in 2016. Do you know where is this story getting to? I will tell you.
It is the hippie PC culture.

What is going to happen:
1. Heroes will take care of baby dragon
2. they will help it to grow into a compassionate loving fluffy dragon
3. This dragon will eat the extra magic and
a. keep the other dragons at bay
OR
b. with the help of the players kill the bad dragons and possibly somehow get more baby good dragons.

Another destruction of LA incoming this is getting old

I just stopped playing PVP as revenant – problem solved. I still play it in raids since glint/mallyx is still the same and my squads wants the boons.

I didn’t do slothasor yet either. It is so hard and annoying.

The way I did it was that I secretly bought it through my girlfriend’s gem store when she was AFK. I just inserted my credit card info, bought it, turned off the gemstore and went away like nothing happened.
