Best way to instal GW2 on new system

Hi all,

I’m planning to get myself a new computer, I currently have windows 7 and my new computer will have windows 8. Was is the best way to install guildwars again? Because I imagine it takes extreemly long to download all updates since the start of the game when I just reinstall it from the dvd.

Is it possible to just make a back-up of my current install (Like C:\Program Files\gw2) and then just paste that on my new system?

Or isn’t that possible because my new system has Windows 8 and I plan to put it on ssd?

Thanks in advance.

I have a question and I think an error in the OP.

This is stated in the OP:
Signet of the Beastmaster: Passive effects of signets also affect your pet.

But it says ingame: Active effects of signets also affect you.
Which seems to be something different.

Was this changed or?

And my question, the spotter precision increase only applies on allies, or also on yourself?

So now someone tells me it’s my videocard, someone else tells me it’s just GW2’s engine and another one tells me it might be my CPU. ^^

I do meet the minimum system requirements.

It runs fine on the lowest possible settings outside wvw zergs. But a new card should do the job? What card should I take?

Hi there,

I could use some advice, I think I need a new graphical card to solve my problem but I’m not really an expert so I would like to ask you guys.

When playing wvw and ending up zerg vs zerg my fps drops to somewhere between 5 and 10. Which is no longer really playable.

These are my system specifications:
8gb RAM
Intel Core i7 860
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260
Windows 7 home premium 64bit

I tried to follow the tips given in this post but when I change my “Refresh Rate” to “60 Hz.” my screen moves a bit to the right which makes it impossible for me to see what’s on the far right on the screen and gives a black bar at the left, not sure why that goes wrong.

This computer is from january 2010, so not really a new one, should a new graphical card solve my problems? And if so, could you guys advice me which one I should take.

I also heard things about SSD vs HDD, I know I have HDD, but that only seems to lower loading times, or could it also increase fps?

Thanks in advance.

The first skill when dazed or confused.

I would say that when dazed you can’t use any skill at all and indeed when confused each skill you use will give you damage.

The first attack is a skill too for as far as I know.

I am looking for this aswell. This is what the wiki says:
In the Lion’s Arch version, a Toy Production Machine is available allowing to replay any of the above versions of the dungeon.

But I don’t know where that machine is.

I guess you mean first person view with FOV. Which is not possible at the moment.

2 Legendary weapons on 1 character?

According to the wiki you receive 1 skillpoint for every 254,000 experience points earned when you’re level 80.

So that won’t be a problem. Allthough it might take some time.

which is the best server for indian players

I don’t think it really matters that much. You can see the server population when you have to pick one, so there you can decide if you want a server which is almost full or one with room left, allthough I’m not sure if you’ll really notice that difference.

And ofcourse you can pick between an American and an European server. Just make sure you don’t pick a Spanish/German or French European server, since you most likely won’t understand them.

I have this problem too, playing on Ring of Fire EU-server, really annoying. All I can do is shut-down Guildwars via ctrl/alt/del.

Lul is dutch for the male genital, but I doubt that’s the reason. Can’t ban each bad word in each language.
