Guild Wars 2

Swiftness no longer seems to stack duration for most ways of applying it. My mesmer gets no swiftness from Focus 4 skill if she has swiftness from the signet that gives random boons. My elementalist’s several methods of stacking up swiftness no longer stack (trait to give fury/swift with auras), and none of my engineer’s swiftness abilities stack.

Have not checked every character yet, but the only swiftness abilities I’ve found that do stack duration anymore are the guard shouts Retreat and Save Yourselves.

Hoping this is a temporary situation to address an exploit or something and not a permanent nerf to swiftness?

I’ve searched the forums using ANet’s search engine and Google and cannot find a thread that addresses this as an intentional patch change, a post-patch fix for something, or a bug. Have I overlooked something?

Hey, my grandfather died of a heart attack brought on by poor heating and high cholesterol. Should probably remove Butter, Onion Rings, Candy Corn Cake, Chocolate Omnomberry Cream, etc from the game as well just to be safe.

At the least, I don’t suppose it would be possible to give credit/rewards for events you participate in but get booted before completion?

The past five times I have done Tequatl my game has crashed in the middle of the event. The latest one tonight happened about 15 seconds before the end of the event and cost me both the rewards and the Power Play achievement. My wife’s PC has also crashed three times during Teq since the last update that I know of, and maybe more since she plays during the day while I’m at work. We have seen many others complaining about the same in-game, so this is clearly not isolated to us or our network. Please have someone look at the crash reports submitted during this event and release a fix if possible.

If it helps, I am running Windows 7 via Bootcamp on a 2011 iMac 21.5" with Core i7-2600 and AMD Radeon HD 6770M. Hers is a custom build with Windows 8.1 on an MSI Z97I board, i7-4790K, and AMD Radeon R9 285. Both have plenty of RAM for running the game and the latest Microsoft patches.

The game has only crashed once for me anywhere else in the past two months we have been back, and twice for her, but since the last patch it crashes at Teq constantly. As this now seems to be one of the most difficult and lucrative events in the game, it is a truly horrible place to experience repeated crashing. Hope an underlying issue can be found and resolved.

The fix suggested by Aiden Savage in this thread has my download moving along at a speedy clip now.

Thank you, Aiden Savage, that seems to have helped me considerably. Downloading at a nice clip now, instead of 0-40kb/sec.

Trying to update my client and my wife’s with similar issues. She just updated Sunday, so it should not be taking >2 hours to update to the most recent build. Results from a “Gw2.exe -diag” attached, in case it provides any helpful information. Looks to me like two of the diag servers are unreachable, and a few packets were lost, but not enough that it should be a big concern.
