Guild Wars 2

Old map was much better. At least it forced you to walk around mid or teleport instead of taking a ‘’jumping puzzle’’/staircase to easily pile onto mid.

Please consider returning the old clocktower in.

Thanks for the replies! So if I really want to climb higher I just need to carry my team and pray they do the same and are not bad! I hope that works.

I’ve been playing ranked pvp for a while now, balancing around 1350 skill rating atm. When I started I had a rating of almost 1600 but after not playing for a while and a bit of decay I can’t seem to climb about 1400 anymore.

Now my question is, what determined how many points I get after winning a ranked match. Before I gained and lost about 30 points. But now at this lower skill rating I can’t seem to gain/lose more than 15 points. Why?! And why is is it not always the same.. 12/13/14/15.. why the 1 point difference.

Do I just need to go on a massive winning streak to start earning more points?

This is an issue that plagues many game developers I suppose. The vast world that is created is simply too big to be supported at the speed we would like. There are tons of plot points that are seemingly dropped or forgotten and I highly doubt we will ever see the answers to the majority of them.

I did think of Mister E the other day but I suppose Anet has chose not to further his plot.

The sole reason I wanted to get auto-loot is for WvW. These masteries should be fully available in WvW to use and also to progress, locking this to PvE makes no sense. There is no place where auto-loot is more relevant than in WvW fights.

(Also since all WvW progression ability lines are so easily obtainable now, at least it will give us something else to work towards!)

I feel like Proof of Heroics/Notarized scrolls should be account bound. What am I supposed to do with the huge quantities of excess proof of heroics once I have unlocked my elite spec? WvW isn’t about character progression, it’s about account progression and this system is forcing me to only play 1 character or tediously switch between characters each time I am about to get a WvW rank to bind the Proofs to the right character.

While I expected a certain investment to go into crafting a precursor, I did not expect this to be roughly the same price as a precursor has on the TP. I though the entire point of precursor crafting was to provide a way to obtain a precursor without having to invest heavily into the TP or Toilet RNG. I imagine it is a rather difficult balance but I thought the choice would be more like: obtain a precursor instantly of the TP with a lot of cash or obtain a precursor over a longer period of time without a lot of cash.

It’s not letting me progress past the second clue either. The search bar fills up but I cannot interact with the clue.

Please, Arenanet, why would it be a good idea to block of Conquest mode in Unranked arena for new players? This makes no sense, it’s unranked arenan not ranked.

We attempted to a few PvP missions with guildies yesterday but could not progress because they didn’t reach rank 10 yet so they all of a sudden could not play Conquest anymore. Forcing them to do the much more complicated Stronghold mode makes no sense.

I remain by my position that moving reset 24 hrs ahead is simply cutting off an entire day of our play time. I hope Anet will come up with a solution quickly after HoT launches. (moving it 18 or so hrs ahead wasn’t a terrible idea)

Playing on an NA server in the EU timezone, the new reset time is in the middle of our prime-time. So I’m not complaining anymore. Nice work Anet!

Being an EU guild on an NA server, our main raid is always on saturday! With the reset time changing this would be before NA reset. Meaning we can not raid on Saturday anymore since there is no point in raiding 4-5 hours before WvW reset! It was called karma-friday for a reason and seeing this moved to saturday would be a huge pity!

Not happy with this reset time change.

Yes I am stuck as well in Khylo.

Kazokú [Kazo] is looking for active EU time WvW players on Jade Quarry!

Kazo is an EU time WvW guild playing on the NA server Jade Quarry. We hold daily raids in WvW during the EU to early NA timezone. We are looking for more active players, mostly Guardians, Warriors, Elementalists and Necromancers, but everyone is welcome to join provided they have a level 80 character and they are on Jade Quarry. Besides WvW our members, (around 75) also enjoy PvP, Fractals and farming for riches in the Silverwastes.

The use of Teamspeak is required during our raids to be able to listen to the commander but you do not need to talk yourself! Whisper me, Priest Tully.3798 or Zjuu.5431 in game for more information or an invite!

hi everyone im priest tully and i represent the Rusty Rustlers [Arrr]! we are a very small guild (7 members atm) enjoying every aspect of the game. We all play rather casually and mostly don’t have a lot of experience with the game. the core of our guild is Dutch but we play on the NA server Jade Quarry, mostly during the EU time zone. we welcome everyone into our guild who is nice and friendly and enjoys hanging out, doing some PvE, PvP or whatever else we feel like doing. also we only let nice people into the guild so plz be nice.

if you want to join you can whisper me, priest tully.3798, in the game and every new member does get a free chocolate chip cookie so if that is your thing join us now.

A few times mushrooms (in the tendril burning adventure) failed to deliver me to the correct spot, assuming they have a set pathing that shouldn’t happen I guess.

Traps just do not sync well with the longbow. They require the enemy to be on top of the traps before they trigger while the longbow wants me to be far away from the enemy. Using a hammer or greatsword makes traps a lot more effective. They should just be ground targetted or be turned into wells to allow for backline play.

I agree with the points addressed in this topic. After playing the Revenant in Fractals, PvP and WvW I have come to the conclusion that whatever you attempt to do with it, other classes can do it much better (As it currently stands). Of course we are dealing with 60ish % of a profession and comparing it too fully fledged professions that have had extensive balancing.

The main issues that I ran into were:

- The lack of customizability in the weapons and utilities. I think there are a number of ways to fix this but the most obvious that come to my mind are to give Revs weapon swap, make legend swapping base line and perhaps even allow them to have 3 active legends instead of 2 or to give each legend more utility skills that can be chosen from.

- Certain utility skills from legends are relatively useless. Especially on Jalis the taunt skill is completely useless in zerg fights and even in PvP I have not been able to use it to great extent. The Jalis elite skill Rite of the Great Dwarf also has a casting time of about 10 years. In comparison to other skills that give invulnerability, you are usually dead before you can finish the cast.

- I realize that we are missing the DPS line, so it’s really difficult to judge on that but the current DPS is lackluster.

- Traits do not sync very well with its corresponding legend. Maniacal Persistence in the condi line is weird, but then again the trait is useless anyway.

- You are either forced to go ranged or forced to go closed combat since there is no weapon swap and the utility skills cannot make up for the difference between the two. Especially in 1v1 fights I found often that I would get kited around, unable to close the gap properly. Especially the leap skill in Mallyx form that pushed your enemies away from you makes it difficult to use. This is also a major problem in WvW, where you often cannot stand in the front line because you will get melted by necro wells. Without a hammer you’d be unable to do anything but stand around in that case.

It will be interesting to see how the Revenant will function when the full class is available, but for now its lack of customizability and lack of damage make it sub-optimal in every way.

Personally, I feel that the name Dragonhunter is way too generic. There is no high concept behind the name, we have all already hunted dragons and we will all continue to do so. At least, I do not assume that in order to kill Mordremoth, we will have to roll a group of 5 Dragonhunters. (Although that might be quite funny at the same time). In comparison to Druid, Chronomancer and Tempest the name Dragonhunter just does not fit in. I think this thread has mentioned a number of viable alternatives and without making a super long post, I, personally, hope that the name gets changed before launch.

Option 1, Arenanet chooses seems like the best way to go.

Events are not spawning at all on Tarnished Coast and Yaks Bend or their overflows.

Hi all,

Ever since the new update I am unable to interact with the chests in Scarlet’s lair to turn in my remaining cyphers and scarlet’s spare key bags. Since Anet posted on the forums the lair would be staying I’m assuming this is a bug.

I hope this gets fixed soon since I still have about 80 Spare key bags that would go to waste otherwise.

Thanks a lot!

Wait the chests in her lair are gone? But Anet posted on the forum that her lair would still be accessible. I was expecting this to be with all the features that the lair provided.

Now I am sitting on tons of fragments and Scarlet Spare Key Bags with no purpose for them. Next time this could be communicated a bit more clear.

I just read through all you wrote and I cannot agree more. The way you depicted the ’’year’’ in which we deal with Kralkattorik. Man, if Anet would put it in the game just like that I would be thrilled to play it! It sounds like a blast and would make the living storyline super exciting to play. Very well done.

Yup, it’s that time of the month again. All my guilds and parties are broken as well.

Turns out my friend just received a reply with the serial code today. Thanks for the reply Incalpatus Cedo! This topic can be deleted.

(Deleted first post by accident xD)

Hi all,

Let me begin by saying I realize this is an issue that cannot be solved via the forums.

On monday 7 october a friend of mine bought gw2 but she never received a confirmation e-mail containing the serial code. This prevents her from creating an account and posting on the forums herself. Of course she filed a support ticket, thinking this problem would be solved quickly. However she has still not received a reply from customer service. What she did receive was an automatic survey asking her to rate how Arenanets customer service performed (this was on thursday oct 10). Seeing no other option she then filed another customer support ticket, showing also the credit card evidence that the sale had been completed.

Ever since then she has not heard at all from the customer service. My question is, what can we do? Is there another way we can contact Anet? It has been almost 10 days and we’d really like to just play the game! I also have the ticket number from the first ticket. If it’s required for anything I can post it here.

Thank you in advance for anyone’s help!

Ps: I dont normally have bad experiences with Anet’s customer service.

Looks like the same problem from last week is back. I can unfortunately enough not see my guilds anymore, parties are bugged and LFG tool is down.
I’m playing on Tarnished Coast with a European account.

The problem is most likely caused by an issue with European copies of the game being used on American servers. I’m experiencing the same problems. (Guilds and parties not working and the LFG tool giving a connection error)

I’ve talked with a few Europeans playing on American servers and all of them are experiencing the same issues. I guess something went wrong in the data centers.

Im having the same problem. European player on an American server. The only european based guild Im in does work.

Also my parties dont work, the LFG tool doesnt work and trying to enter Fractals makes my game crash.

This problem happened to me as well. I reported it in game at the time. Basically we killed Tequatl completely and I only got a blue dragon box, the chest with the yellow + dragonite ore and the normal chest on the ground. Some of my guildies got the full rewards from the same event. I dont care so much about missing the green and yellow box but I hope it can be fixed in the future!

I was also going to try and convince a friend or two to try out the game, but now they cannot sign up for the week long free trial.

Your ideas are all most excellent and would def. make the game a much more interesting and living world! It would probably take Arenanet a couple of years to implement it all.. it’s a lot of work!

(Please, weather effects though! The foggy part in SAB W2 Z3 was great! Having that in the Maguuma Jungles etc.. yes please!)

Well, that explains why I end up wielding daggers instead of a staff randomly. I hadn’t noticed zoning caused it but now that you mention it, it makes sense.

If you infuse one of them in the MF you can equip both of them. If you simply put an infusion in the defensive/offensive slot then you can’t.

The problem here is that there are 2-3 rings for each stat set. Each ring has either a defensive or offensive infusion slot. So you can equip 1 ring with a defensive slot and 1 ring with an offensive slot and both will have the same stats (for example Zerkers). Now, if you buy 2 zerker rings with the offensive slot you can only equip one of them.

For the future keep in mind that all items that say: Unique, can only be equipped once on your character. So instead of buying 2 rings of red death, buy 1 and a Crystalline Band (zerker rings).

Maybe if you file a support ticket the customer service can help you with one of your useless rings..

I just want to quickly post that I greatly enjoy SAB right now! The patch fixed some of the annoying issues and world 2 is very much doable now. I’m already looking forward to world 3 and in the meantime I am going to get the meta achievement and have some fun in tribulation mode. (Once that silly bug with the spawn location has been fixed)

Hello all,

I am a big fan of SAB and loved to play world 1 back in April. However I have encountered an issue that makes Tribulation mode really frustrating to play. This has nothing to do with the difficulty of it but with the problem that you cannot rejoin your party.

I am fully aware of why you can’t join a party once it has started tribulation mode, people running it to the end and simply porting 4 others in for money would happen a lot.

However, me and some guildies have been trying to do tribulation mode world one over the last few days. In SAB a few of us have encountered random disconnects which had nothing to do with the loss of internet. I, myself, have fallen through the world as well, getting stuck in the water there and I was completely incapable of fixing this issue by dying or whatnot. I had to leave to the hub but could not rejoin the others since it was Tribulation mode. Same issue with the random disconnects. The only thing this reminds me of is Fractals back in the day, where you could not rejoin your party.

Please fix this issue because it is really frustrating if this happens close to the end of a zone.

Thanks a lot!

I started playing gw1 Factions before any off the other campaigns and it made me addicted to guild wars! When guild wars 2 first came out I searched through Divinity’s Reach in the hope of finding my character’s ancestral part of the city and all I found was a big, gaping hole.

Please consider making Cantha, building an entire continent is a major task to begin with so please also repair the Great Collapse!

I hope very much that the Dragon Bash Festival will bring us Canthan decorations to Lion’s Arch. I fear though…

The same problem happened to me on all my guilds but one. I am playing on Tarnished Coast (NA) from Europe.

My guild completed a Guild Trek that had Winterknell Impasse in it less than 10 hours ago and we completed it without problems. (I did not do this one myself so I dont know where exactly the golden ring is)

After standing near the swamp meta event for several hours I can confirm that he has not been up. Whether this is a bug or intentional I dare not say. None of the pre-events started either.
Server: Tarnished Coast

Both the January and February game updates have seen new waypoints added to the game which were not previously there.

You will have to unlock these waypoints before you get 100% map completion again. The Golden star next to your name remains though.

I like to play World versus World! It is a lot of fun but I wouldnt want to miss out on the holiday spirit and rewards either! So I am very glad the presents are actually in WvW. I dont get forced to PvE to get them and that makes me very happy!

Highly doubt my hard drive would have anything to do with it, it has over 700 gb free space.

Hard drive: Western Digital WD Green WD10EADS 1TB 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

My sense of time is okay, since I actually timed it :P! But sometimes its only like 60ish seconds.

CPU, just what I thought. What would be a good CPU to have for GW2? Im guessing that most likely means that the mainboard needs to be changed too.

All 4 WvW maps + all PvE maps (And the Chantry of Secrets) have to be completed to get 100% world completion.

I’m not sure but I dont think there are 30 Vistas just in WvW so you must have missed stuff in PvE. Did you complete all the cities?

I would not mind Trehearne or other Sylvari characters being so prominent in the later parts of the story line where it not for the fact that it feels like playing Trehearne’s personal storyline.

I have no objection, and actually I even like, being ‘’second in command’’. What does not make sense though is that Trehearne follows you around everywhere you go as if he has nothing better to do. The commander of the Pact, who needs to take care of all 3 orders and countless individuals who joined the war effort just follows the person around who he delegates his orders to.

The other objection is that after playing the entire story line the only npc character that I felt like I really knew was Trehearne. This to my big regret cause there were plenty of other characters who had an incredible amount of potential. If you ask me now, a month or 2 after completing my storyline, which characters I still remember? Tybalt, cause he is amazing, Shashoo cause Quaggan and my (dead) sister whom I never saw again except for a very brief encounter in Orr where a lot happened with characters I should have known better so that I would actually care a whole lot more about someone’s death.

Of course with all the branching story lines from different races you are inevitably going to have to try and tie them together at one point but Id rather have less choice with better characters. Preferably not only Sylvari. Gw2’s story line is very good and I really enjoyed playing it. Just make it more personal next time.

Hello everybody,

I have been playing gw2 for a while now and, although it usually runs just fine, my pc takes about 1-2, sometimes 3, minutes to load new maps (especially LA is a pain to load). As soon as Im loaded Im able to run around at 20-40 FPS on medium settings. The only events that really drop my frame rate down to 3-10 FPS is WvW fights and the Claw of Jormag.

I noticed that when running Gw2 my CPU usage gets pushed to the max. Sometimes it runs at 100%.

I was wondering what improvements I could make to my pc (about 2 years old) for faster loading times and a more stable frame rate.

Specs:
Mainboard: Pegatron Narra6
CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 620 2.61Ghz
Graphics card: NVIDEA GeForce GTX 550 Ti
8GB Ram

Thanks in advance!

Deleting other player in game mail might help. Mine was at 4/10 once but I didnt receive new mails. Deleting the 4 fixed the issue.
