Guild Wars 2

It just really honestly breaks my heart how disenchanted I have become with GW2.

I will never understand why ANET decided to outcast the majority of their GW1 community; but as a member of that community, that’s honestly my sentiment right now.

I was an evangelist for you guys, preached the good words of GW1 — “PvP greatness is coming”…

AND my friends drank my koolaid bought the game and… well you know the rest.

As a team you have all missed the mark; in fact this “esports” target you were aiming for isn’t even legitimately in sight.

The head of your pvp dev team should clearly resign (not being dramatic).

Somewhere, somehow you guys had one to many strategy meetings pushing your “manifesto” of new ideas and lost touch of what made you great to begin with.

In life there are still core ideals, traditions and values that perpetuate time…even through innovation

I only hope your leadership will reflect on your previous successes and continue to push to bring real change to this segment of your business.

You have a fundamentally amazing game.

It just happens to be missing everything from the original which i thought made you guys great to begin with…

hoping, praying (to the esports gods) that GW2 reaches the pinnacles of PVP greatness… thx for listening

XcomCaveRat.4059 thanks – your advice worked. Deleting the Cache folder alone did the trick. Cheers.

AFAK, awesomium is web interface api. It’s used by Trading Post.. so why would it crash upon start-up??? I checked with my client (which is working) and awesomium isn’t used during splash screens. Anyway.
go to:
C:\Users\{UserName}\AppData\Local\Temp and try to find folder called gw2cache -{lotsof numbers and letters}. If you find it, delete it.

-Also, go to Documents/Guild Wars 2 and delete local.dat. (note that this will reset any changes you might have made in the settings so back it up first, just in case).

- Run a repair on the client
-If you have applications such as Steam or Google Chrome open, close them.

Check if it works now by running the client as Admin.

here is my DxDiag.

Same issue game ran fine pre-patch now – crashes on boot up. looks like something to do with memory allocation? lots of free memory tho.
