Guild Wars 2

Goodday there people,

After a verry long break, since i played the game during the beta and the early days of it, im finaly back and ready to get back into the game. The onley thing i have to do is to make up wich profession to choise since im a bit looked out on the thief i was previously playing. So currently im looking for a new profession.

I already have played all of them in the early levels just to test out the feel of them so i have a basic understanding of the concept of each character.

My goals in the game is to finaly try to get to the end game as comfortable as possible whitout running into too much issues “aka dying too much”. For the rest i never have been able to expiriance the endgame content any of the pvp however it might be a fun expiriance to get into. But mainly i probably will be playing solo trying to get to the max level.

So now i ask of you people willing to help me, give me a opinion on wich proffesion might be the most usefull or fun for me to pick up. Every opinion except for thief is welcome and might help me make up my mind. Because currently im doubting too much and it might get me to start over again and again. I tend to get verry verry indecisive when i can’t make up my mind ^^

I hope that whatever you guys have to share or sugest will be able to help me. And i know that over all it counts more to what is the most fun , but i hope that whit some help i can discover this for myself.

On a side note : Feel free to sugest a race you find fitting , unique or funny whit the profession you sugest. Looking awesome in game is half the fun.

Thank you already for any possible help ^^

I jus finished removing all Nvidia drivers and reinstalled the latest one again on my pc. After restarting the computer i tried again and crashed after roughly 15 minutes again so sadly no seeming improvements.

Sorry for the lot of posts already. Anyways this is what i got from there. And as HCP professionals sugested i already went and looked but its already on Best performance. Related to what Inguy said :
I have a GTX 550 iT instead but it did happend around the same time as his. I don’t know if its connected but just letting it know. Maybe it helps finding a solution.

Note that it’s not always possible to state with certainty whether a reported driver is actually responsible for crashing your system or that the root cause is in another module. Nonetheless it’s suggested you look for updates for the products that these drivers belong to and regularly visit Windows update or enable automatic updates for Windows. In case a piece of malfunctioning hardware is causing trouble, a search with Google on the bug check errors together with the model name and brand of your computer may help you investigate this further.

Thanks for the reply. I have tried to do both what you sugested to or try a previouse one or update to the most recent version. But the freezing of the screen and the completly rebooting my pc after getting a blue screen keeps happening.

Hi there, I have been playing guild wars 2 ever since it came out but since yesterday i have started to expiriance issues that seem to be connected to the graphics.

In the first case the game freezes while you can hear the background sounds and music still go on. After a few seconds the screen turns black and the game continiues.

But in the second case after freezing i get a blue screen and after doing a crash dump my pc completly restarts again.

At first i noticed a mention that people had issues whit the Nvidia driver that i used so i uninstalled my old one and installed the latest beta one that i could find (306.02 Beta) so i don’t get this notification anymore on my log in. But sadly eneugh the freezing and crashing continiues.

Im not a computer expert so i hope somebody can help me out. Thanks already for your attention.
