Guild Wars 2

I’ve noticed this happening with non-WvW NPCs as well; plenty of NPCs in Lion’s Arch have been vanishing for no reason randomly.

happening to me ans few other in the guild as well. at first i thought only happen in WvW but then when i was doing AB it happened again. the game is seems unplayable at the moment. very frustrating indeed.

the freeze happened to the extend you can event close the program, you have to shut down the PC by pushing the start button .

Yes, exactly!

I mainly play PvE, so that’s my only experience with the crashes. In the past my crashes resulted in stuck monitor and stuck sound, but now it’s resulting in just stuck graphics and it shuts down all sound instead. And I know the sound is gone cause I listen to youtube videos in a background tab.

For some reason, my game crashes almost exactly every 30 minutes, regardless of what I am doing. This has only been going on since the patch, but I also got a new computer on patch day. Computer has no issues with other games at all. This game causes it to 100% freeze and need to be restarted, and it has happened 4 times today already.

I don’t know how to report a freeze/crash in-game, since I obviously can’t when it happens. Any suggestions? etc.? TYIA.

Well, if you write down two lists: “Classes with the best shield skills” and “Classes I like to play,” Mesmer is the only entry on both lists, so that would seem like a natural choice.

Is there a reason why you stopped playing a Revenant? They don’t get shields until level 80 so if you dislike the class in general it may not be the best choice to play while collecting the components for a Legendary item.

I stopped playing rev because I didn’t feel like the class had any upward progress. But again, that was at level 25 or 30 back when they came out. I also didn’t like anything about the ~character~ either. I didn’t like her as a norn, I didn’t like the name I picked, I didn’t like the hairstyle, etc. So I’m giving rev another shot with a human today. We’ll see how it goes. Maybe there’s a reason so many of my friends main revenants, maybe they’re actually pretty great.

I also just was informed by my guild that I forgot that Revenant can use shield too. but I’ve never played rev past level 30, so maybe I’ll give that a try for now and come back to mesmer later. I do love my mesmers.

I’m sorry you had a bad experience like that. From what I’ve heard, it’s better to explicitly look for “training” groups. They tend to understand that you’re not a perfect raiding robot and are, in fact, a person who occasionally makes mistakes and may not understand everything instantly lol.

Hi guys, I’ve got a small problem. I love shields, and I’m planning on making The Flameseeker Prophecies, but I can’t decide between the four shield-using classes (Warrior, Guardian, Mesmer, Engineer) for who to main (if I main at all; hooray altaholism).

Mesmer and Warrior seem to have the most shield love, while Engineer’s is okay and Guardian’s seems to be very disliked by the community in general. However, my favorites of these are Mesmer and Guardian. _

Which class do you think would have the most success with having a shield build these days?

Thanks in advance

Honestly, I’m okay with this trade-off. I’ve been dying for a non-silly shortbow legendary for EVER, since I tend to play shortbow ranger a lot. This will hopefully fill that need for me.

Thank you for being able/willing to release one more and I really hope your team can get back to the rest of them ASAP. I’m still excited to see what you guys come up with in the future.

I have both a Sylvari ele and an Asura ele, and honestly I prefer the Sylvari’s animations (I have a higher preference for Asura in general, this is a rare exception). My favorite is Staff Fire 5, because she levitates and spins while casting and I just think it’s so mage-like and intense.
