The title lol…. was it ever balanced to begin with?
Is any game with more than 1 class ever balanced?
You should probably read posts before you respond to them.
Ever since the first HoT patch condis have begun to instagib and serker or rather “marauder” builds now die in a single skill from certain classes, grenade barrage I’m looking at you (and that’s coming from an engineer player).
The game feels like WoW did going from Burning Crusade (slower, methodical, more balanced and skillful PvP) to Wraith of the Lich King (spam buttons and one shot someone before they one shot you). You know, when WoW was instantly dropped from MLG for balance issues.
Is this ever going to be fixed? Or is there somewhere I can get a refund on HoT, because PvP feels like trash now.
The Glacial Heart trait for Guardians states that it reduces hammer recharge, but it does not. I have not tested if the chill/damage proc works yet, but it may be an issue of the trait being completely broken.
I had no problems with the cost of the expansion and immediately pre-ordered the 100$ package. I also bought the game when it was not on sale. Now I’m a bit annoyed that because I wasn’t kittening about getting more, I get nothing for supporting ANet. That’s a bit screwed up. I guess I wont support you any more because I get shafted for doing it.
I’ll take a higher quality match over faster queue times any day. as it is now, the majority of matches are extremely frustrating because you get what feels like day 1 players on your team. you’re basically being penalized for being good at the game, which should not be the case. it’s either that or you’re in a complete stomp which isn’t remotely fun either.
Currently as the matchmaking works, if you are a high winrate player, the matchmaking system purposely attempts to “even” your team out by placing extremely low winrate players on your team to equalize the winrates between teams. this means if you are an exceptional player, you are penalized by being placed with practically day 1 players to simply “make games even”.
This is not fun for the skilled player, nor is it fun for the newer player. Please fix this system and make it so evenly skilled players are placed into the same game. It’s extremely frustrating for both sides otherwise, and is making me quickly lose interest in the game when I get players who don’t have a clue what they’re doing.
rather large quote
I had figured that this was exactly my case. I’ll likely end up replacing the power supply and seeing if it was the issue. Thanks for the help.
- Try go into Nvidia settings and turn on adaptive vsync. This is basicly a max_fps style function that prevent your card runing faster than refresh without the flaws of normal vsync. It can vastly reduce GPU temp, power and thus demand on PSU simply by not trying to run the game at 100+ spike fps.
Would this help considering I’m running the game on a 144hz monitor? I’ll give it a go, but I’m not sure it will do much if anything at all.
I would imagine they use 11+ because they’re quite a bit newer than GW2. I’m assuming that GW2 specifically uses DirectX 9? Do I need to update it seperately from 11+?
It’s an Xtreme Gear 800w model XG-H800 power supply
edit: After doing a quick look up of the power supply, I’m highly suspicious it might be the issue. It has horrible reviews everywhere I look. This leaves me questioning why I don’t have TDR issues while playing other games though.

When I built my system I got the smallest power supply I could find and still had far more than enough power. I forget what the name is though.
So I recently purchased this game maybe around a month ago. When I started playing, I had no issues at all. After a while, I starting getting moments where my screen would go to sleep and turn back on after a few seconds, sometimes crashing the game or completely crashing my computer with no warning at all.
I’ve contacted support and from what they’ve said, it’s a common bug with Nvidia graphics cards called TDR which causes your system to reset your graphics drivers if it detects a delay in the card rendering which is supposed to stop BSOD’s from happening. They also stated that the common causes for this is a failing power supply or GPU, both of which I have completely ruled out because the only game I have or have ever had this issue with is GW2. I have purchased Dying Light, and if it was a failing GPU or power supply, I would obviously have TDR issues in that, yet I can play it for extended amounts of time without a single issue.
I’ve gone over all the trouble shooting aspects that GW2 has given me, and also tried several fixes myself including adding registry edits that are supposed to increase the delay before Windows will attempt to reset the video drivers from 2 seconds (default) to 8 seconds and also doing full clean driver installs to no avail. I still have common TDR issues, largely to the point of the game being almost unplayable.
I’m using a GTX 660 TI 3GB which should be far more than enough to handle the game. If anyone could please assist me with this problem, I would be truly grateful. Thanks.
I have submitted a ticket with the issue and am awaiting a reply, but if anyone else can assist me with this issue in the meantime it would be greatly appreciated.
The monitor “sleeping” while the computer is on is the result of the video card turning off, likely due to the graphics drivers crashing and failing to recover. Uninstall/clean install your graphics drivers. Disable any overlays or graphic mods/enhancers if you’re using any. Your video card may be simply dying. If its an overclocked model, you may want to underclock it as a test.
I tried a clean driver install as you suggested, but I still have the issue.
If it was an issue of my GPU dying, then I would have the problem in all games wouldnt I? I have only had this problem while in GW2.
As the title says, for some reason my monitor will randomly go to sleep while in game. Sometimes it comes back on, sometimes it does not, although I have sound, which forces me to hard-restart my computer. Sometimes I can sit down and play for hours at a time without this happening, other times it happens immediately.
The latest occurrence of this has led to my monitor going back on, and me being able to tab back in to game, but a few seconds later the sound froze, and my computer completely crashed.
I have been checking temps while playing the game normally to find if this was the issue, and my temps are completely stable while playing. These types of monitor glitches/crashes have also happened right after playing other games, so it must be some sort of issue specifically with my system and the game.
If anyone can assist me with this issue, it would be greatly appreciated.
I’m not sure how to ask this question, but after just getting the game I’m not sure what crafting things to pick up. I’ve looked around and apparently you craft legendary gear, so I don’t want to pick something where I wont be able to obtain an item that would be greatly beneficial to me.
I’ve decided on playing a Thief and am about level 40 right now. Should I even worry about crafting right now? If anyone could give me some insight about what I should do, it would be greatly appreciated.
I recently bought the game and was immediately kittened and felt completely ripped off. The reason being because when you start a new account, 90% of the things on the map are not shown, nor are they explained in any facet UNTIL you reach a certain level.
This is by far the most counter-intuitive system I have ever found in a game, especially one like this one where the majority of leveling is done through exploration. It basically boils down to “to level up you have to explore these things, but to even see these things on the map so you can explore them you have to be leveled up”.
Fix this system please, because after getting over a certain hump, I’d say around level 15, I’ve been having an absolute blast, and I almost missed it because of the terrible way the map is drawn out for newer accounts.
I think the reason behind this new system is as follows:
“It’s too complicated for new players to comprehend.”
As soon as new players see an icon they do not recognize on the map. They rage quit and leave the game out of sheer, confused terror.
If they think giving you a game that feels incomplete when you just buy it is a better idea, then I really don’t know what to say. If players really do simply stop playing because they don’t know what a map icon means in a brand new game to them, then the community is better off without that player.
I also highly doubt that is an accurate reason for losing a new player, and the current system in place will push far more players away, and that’s coming from personal experience.
would love to hear something about this, as I’ve owned the game for all of five days and now I can’t even log in.

Tried to log in, an error pops up saying that the account or password is invalid. Login works fine here (obviously) so it is not an issue of a hijacked account or me typing something incorrectly. I’ve also tried restarting and nothing has worked.
Was also just playing yesterday and everything worked fine.
I’ve tried to reset my password only leading to yet another error stating to create a ticket which I’ve just done.
