Guild Wars 2

Hate to break it to you, but the “Rules of Conduct” do not specifically forbid using foul language. This is what it says:

“1. While playing Guild Wars 2, you must respect the rights of others and their rights to play and enjoy the Game. To this end, you may not defraud, harass, threaten, embarrass or cause distress and/or unwanted attention to other players. This includes posting insulting, offensive, or abusive comments about players, repeatedly sending unwanted messages, reporting players maliciously, attacking a player based on race, sexual orientation, religion, heritage, etc. Hate speech is not tolerated.”

What this means is that swearing is okay as long as you aren’t swearing at someone (aka “posting insulting, offensive, or abusive comments about players”). Which is prolly what the OP did to get a ban.

A while back I made a funny comment that included the “F” bomb (it earned a few lols). Someone reported me (they said as much in map chat, anyway), but I never got banned because I wasn’t trying to insult or abuse another player.

Technically, you could get a ban and never use a single cuss word. All you have to do is be insulting, offensive, or abusive toward another player. Trust me…it is possible to do these things without swearing. It is just that most people don’t possess the vocabulary necessary and must resort to vulgar words.

“Module: mumble_ol.dll” 9 lines into the crash report is very telling. You’re using Mumble, aren’t you? It can cause problems while running GW2. Disable (or uninstall) it and see if that fixes the issue.

stop: 0×1000008E errors are often related to bad memory modules. Dowload MemTest and test your memory to rule out bad RAM. If that comes up clean then…

“Fatal Error: Fatal disk-error (1450) on read” could indicate a bad hard drive. You might want to run a chkdsk (check disc) to see if any bad sectors pop up. If so you should backup important files and replace the hard drive asap.

Good luck…

The storymode dungeons are for the casual players, explorables for the more hardcore though I’d say the majority of the games players are able to run dungeons just fine just probably not the higher up ones as much.

My point wasn’t whether or not they are doable. The point was that certain players will find them horrendously non-fun. What’s wrong with making dungeons to cater to them also? Given enough time (and frustration) even a very casual player can learn to hurr-durr faceroll their way through w/o dying once, but do they find the learning experience fun? That is the important question that I think all the “dungeons suck” posts answer for us.

Crater.1625:

Why would there need to be dungeons “that play more like the world-wandering PvE content”?
There’s eight dungeons, and twenty five zones on the world map. And 40-50ish instanced Personal Story missions per character that basically are mini instance/dungeons in the style of the overworld PvE, with at least three options for almost all of those missions so you don’t even actually end up repeating much/all of the same content if you do it again on another character.

If that’s not “enough” content for those people, then I don’t think there can ever actually be “enough” content for them.

To answer your question, there needs to be dungeons “that play more like the world-wandering PvE content” because after lvl 80 and clearing the map what is left? Dungeons. I’m not advocating they make all the new dungeons they design in the future this way. Kitten no. Just a few. Say maybe 10%-20% of them. Make them challenging, but avoid the downright deathfest they are now to the uninitiated.

Once again, please don’t get me wrong. I don’t think there is anything wrong with the dungeons as they are. There should just be some for people who don’t have the reflexes to play Tekken.

Here’s the deal, Anet…if you’re listening. There’s no reason it can’t be both ways. Leave existing dungeons just the way they are (save for fixing the bugs), and design a handful of dungeons with the casual player in mind…dungeons that play more like the world-wandering PvE content.

Not all players are hardcore enough or have enough time on their hands to put up with the frustration of learning the mechanics (as should be evident by all the posts stating that “dungeons suck”). Some find it to be very fun, but many will not. Many will say “well this isn’t fun” and never try it again. Then those same people will get bored and quit the game because there is not enough existing content that is to their liking.

Don’t forget that you are a business. If you alienate a sizable percentage of your customer base then they will cease to be customers.

There is a simple solution to this…

Ummm…don’t repeat the same sentence over and over. Type something new each time.

“thief lfg explo mode”

next time:
“Hi, me again still lfg explo”

then:
“Anyone wanna group with a thief for explore?”

This gets the message across and won’t trip the spam sensor (which I didn’t even know existed). If you paste the same message repeatedly what do you expect?

As a side note: Mmmmm…spam…I lurve fried spam!

1) Go into your BIOS setup and see if there is an option to change the RAM speed. If your system RAM was “overclocked” @ the factory this may cause the error you are receiving. Fiddle with the settings if possible and test to see if this fixes the issue (or simply find the “return to default” option in the BIOS and activate it).

2) Also, is your CPU overclocked? How about your GPU? If so you may want to try setting them to normal speeds if adjusting the RAM clock fails to yield favorable results.

3) Certain programs that allow voice chat (like Mumble) or programs that allow video recording of your game session can cause the c0000005 error, but it is usually a “cannot read” memory error. I do not know if Team Viewer could be the culprit, but you may wish to try running GW2 without it.

4) Lastly, you can try running a chkdsk c: /r to check for file system errors, although I highly doubt this would cause a “cannot write” memory error.

Good luck, and I hope one of these suggestions fixes your issue.
