I came back to Guild wars off key hearing about raiment of lich coming back, and saw everyone with the wing sets in game that were with the original gw1 version. Not to mention everything else could use the wings for for darker armor sets, beyond that I was really really saddened to see it was a 24 hour sale that I missed earlier in the month that I had not heard about.
Any idea what this is going to come back or is it on the list of may come back in 3 years tuff luck? Because honestly currently that was one of the best options for a Dark colored back piece regardless and for it to be a only 24 hour sale is kinda sad, Specially with Raiment on sale right now I have no idea why both aren’t being offered!?
Any additional comments to this topic if you have opinions about this skin etc are welcome
Thanks, Neo
I’ve had this problem too.
I belive because of something incompatabile with the select_directory window…
Odd solution:
1) create a folder for a game
2) put a Gw2Setup.exe in it
3) change its name to Gw2.exe
4) run
in my case it begun downloading files in current directory…
This fixed the installer for me

This worked believe it or not, just wanted to come back and play some Gw2 and this issue occured where installer wouldn’t install.
If your a casual player like me and my boyfriend are, and I will say Alot of players of GW2 are with its very open subscription-less model.
Its Extremely overwhelming coming back after taking a few week break or coming inbetween content patches, and feeling more and more like we’re unable to make any progress in the game.
You know the game has poor itemization and economic model when the market is made up of~
Unobtainable
3000-4000G Legendaries (will increase rapidly)
1000-1400G Precursors
10-100G Skins (from events that are past)
10-100G Rare Dyes (No longer obtainable without spending real money)
Obtainable
4-2G Exotics that you’ll get as a drop extremely rarely
>1G Everything else from very rare crafting mods etc.
And when combining everything together were still looking at, a market that is inflating only with Expensive high desire items, take a look at Ecto’s they’ve remained solid, high demand for crafting Artifacts, and Legendaries etc, where Pre-cursors and Legendaries have increased nearly 50-60% in the same time frame of about 6 months.
So, I cannot get Ecto’s any faster then before, but items I want are now worth more, Ecto’s and alot of other “cash mats, and cash exotics” Are Not moving in price, as they’re price is heavily modulated by things like vendor or salvage value.
Therefore I am making about 50-60% Less for the items I want than 6 months ago.
This IS Depravity
I come in game, have a few full geared level 80’s I number crunch.. and am just smashed every… single time, by the crushing reality how I won’t get anywhere in this game. And find myself playing other games.
People don’t blame Anet for the inflation but a large part of it is caused from things they do, or haven’t done to control the economy.
Anet has FULL control of the economy, and can add things for people to pay/use however they want, and didn’t have to go nerf Champion drops, get rid of ability to get yet another item that could be worth gold (Random Dye’s which could be worth upwards of 50g+) So yet another strike against players that are trying to earn money.
Short of Finding a precursor, earning gold in Guild wars is Absolutely Gruelingly slow, and unfulfilling, As nothing is worth a significant amount.
(As for the above post, don’t even get me started about the content, yes I love exploring but, this is a World that has No true extra area to explore being a player that has been playing gw2 since day 1, and having already taken that time to explore the regions and see what there is to see. Anet taking the route of temp content, and leaving us now with the same game we started with short a few also unfulfilling world bosses that will reward 1 player out of 150 with something worthwhile, if your group can manage a kill.)

Inflation occurs from actions taken by Anet to make the Cash shop more exclusive, and promoting more Gold→Gem purchases, Which escillates the Gem→Gold exchange rate, further increasing amounts players will get, making something “unattainable before” somewhat cheaper as more players buy large sums of Gold through RMT (non-illegal) Buying out more of the pre-cursors, legendaries etc.
Raising the price of the above items, and my complaint was, that of a few things, as someone said above you earn 15g worth of drops a day. Ok only 75 more days of farming like that casual as it is for a precursor without spending a penny.
GW2 does not have nearly enough gold sinks, and didn’t have enough gold sinks from day one, and this is one of the founding problems, Gem Shop is Not a gold sink, since it directly influences the price of the return gold from players exchanging Gems → Gold
Gold sinks help prevent inflation, as players say in WoW for instance (talking older expansions) had to save up for quite some time to invest in mounts, various flying, etc, maybe a few pieces of gear that are from vendors.
Player owned items cannot act as gold sinks either, as prices are not constant and will rise as players purchase them, and depending on the items popularity, specially with Legendaries and Pre-cursors now, prices can increase rapidly, as the market becomes easily flooded with no time limit for length of the sale.
All I know, I can get fan boy raged at above all day, that doesn’t make me like this game in its current state. I WANT to love it, but I find myself time and time again, unable to; its not Daunting to think about earning 1000G+ for a precursor and other materials, its ridiculous with how current farming methods work in Guild wars 2, specially with viable ones being nerfed into the ground.
I want to Love guild wars don’t get me wrong, having played the first one since release on/off and owning every expansion, and still playing it to date;
But I’ve been finding it harder, and harder and harder to find myself motivated to actually even play guild wars 2 anymore, short of spending 600$ to buy a legendary outright, it seems like Arena net doesn’t understand ramifications of updates they’ve been making and their changes to the economy.
So many things have become more Cash shop centralized, it boggles me how the community can embrace it so much. Were in a position now where;
- gem exchange rate is exploding more then ever 1G=$0.20USD vs about 1G=$0.65USD about a year ago.
-Farming rates for gold has Declined after updates trying to weed any viable farming methods have been thoroughly stomped, reducing farming rates to obscenely low numbers.
And we’ve entered a market now where Expensive Desired items are rapidly increasing in price (rare dye thanks to Arena net making Dye a cash shop only item (save a few cooking recipe ones that aren’t rare to begin with)) Legendaries, Pre-cursors, desired skins, etc.
Increasing 2-3x in price in recent months, again with no sign of increased income from Any traditional farming methods, And with Gem exchange rate increasing making, gem trading for gold an Actual saddly viable way to get alot of these items, spending about 600-700$ for a legendary, vs aprox 300+ hours of gold farming which is were talking, Months, Months of solid farming day in and out.
There is no motivation to get on to do anything, the way current loot models work at bosses too its Extremely underwhelming, can champ train for the chests still, collect over 200, and open them all, and within those get lucky to see 2-3 Exotics, worth about 1.5G each. Not to mention the way RNG works on Bosses that typically become a case of Extremely unpopular and unable to kill like Tequatl became, because of a large lack of reward for high dedication. Because if a server is killing him, you know everyone else will want to be there all the sudden as well, meaning 2/3rds of the players end up in unorganized overflows that aren’t able to kill him, and end up smashing the join with party member button who is in non-overflow for about 10 minutes straight.
The systems in this Game need a serious overhaul to be viable and honestly there is nothing left for me in this current model of the game, and how its being managed by arena net there are Extremely poor choices being made ultimately making the Player suffer.
Sincerely-
Neo
I’m Realling hoping they don’t remove this from the game and get rid of this amazing looking skin, I think it would be much fairer just to look in the future to make sure other races have their armor reskinned so that Everyone hoping to get their hands on other racial sets.
This is A Clear example of A net listening to a few people that are upset about the similarities, but now Anet has upset Soooo many more people that have Loved the armor are now upset
Still having issues, at the point going to backup .dat file and try to reinstall
The client is averaging about 3kb/s right now, have tried to restart client a few times now to no Avail. Last comment reguarding the speed was 6 hours ago, so I’m wondering if its back recently and servers are overloaded or what? I’ve never had a issue downloading from Gw2’s servers before.
My Connection is 25Mbit, and theres no issues with the connection
Disconnects and "Incorrect Password" Message [merged]

I had this as well, through the remember password logged in yesterday no issues, unable to log in period today. Told me I had a incorrect password even though it was remembered, had so much trouble with the system.
I even wrote the current password down carefully incase my brain is faulty and apparently unable to remember it. Which isn’t the case, attempted login to the site and launcher numerous times and was told incorrect password. Attempting to reset the password, told me that it; Password Reset Failed, contact support.
No idea why it failed, isn’t that what the reset password thing is for, even though I remembered it and it was something on there end that messed up my password.
Anyway so contacted support, got my password reset. Idk what it is, made something little simpler this time, does GW’s have trouble remembering long passwords with capitals and symbols or something? because this is the second time I’ve had this happen. Getting ridiculous
