I’m trying to view my past tickets and I logged in on chrome and on edge and they both do the same thing. I login to support (which ironically takes me to the general settings overview page)… okay, I see my overview and general settings, my email, account etc., but when I click on “support” up top it brings me back to the support page (FAQ) and logs me back out again, so I login again and it takes me back to the general overview page, in an endless loop and cycle. When are you going to fix this? I’d love to login and be able to see my actual support tickets for once.

Right now.

1) Easy dailies

That’s about it, otherwise its completely boring and the match ups need to be fixed. The imbalances of world populations and linkages across the board are insane.

GW2 HoT $25 in store? (Pic)

Man that’s weird, online it’s $40+.

Except it is very, VERY clear that you photoshopped/blurred the word text so that it could be a different game rather than GW2:HoT that belongs there. Thus you’re really doing nothing but starting a controversy by lying to people. Nice job, you fail. Reported too.

I don’t own Photoshop nor do I care enough to do such a thing. I’ll go back tomorrow as I work tomorrow and the Wal-Mart is basically within walking distance. I find it funny that you’re so distraught that you’re going to report me. Grow up. I’m just posting this because the game was labeled at $25 and it isn’t like that anywhere else online that I know of (or in store).

I’m running driver version: 353.30 on NVIDIA GeForce Experience for GTX 760 TI OC 2gb, what do you mean by rolling back? I tried uninstalling all the drivers for the video card and installed an older version but I’m not sure if it was a whole 100% clean install as there may of been bits and pieces of the newer driver still on my system.

I’m trying out the frame rate cap thing now you recommended, I’ll let you know how it goes.

Edit: I set it to 60 capped frame rate and it basically crashed a few minutes later, but instead of slow motion it just skipped frames…lol..

Picture here: “optimal settings” everything else is high except shaders being low = optimal? I think something is wrong with the shader.

Hey, thanks for the replies, I actually upgraded the computer im using. I swapped out the case and the SSD only. Ever since I did that I started getting that weird lag basically, about 1-2 weeks ago and I’ve been trying to fix it ever since. There’s nothing wrong with the SSD or the case as I actually took them back to the store and swapped them out for another one seeing as I thought those might’ve been causing it. The other SSD I had (that I took back) actually didn’t do this weird lag, it’d just freeze up and crash, this one just has this lag to it for some reason.

I’m wondering if it could be a motherboard issue or if it’s just a failing video card, my screen does seem to take a while to turn on because I get a “no signal” for about 10-15 seconds, shuts off then I have to shut it back on and it works again (when I restart the computer or power it on)

Hi, for the past 1-2 weeks or so I’ve been getting this weird lag (as seen in the video link below) and it basically has gotten to the point where I can’t play anymore as it does this A LOT.

I have a Nvidia GTX 760 OC video card if that has anything to do with it.

It hasn’t done this before.

Shift Focus.9083

The email sent out to players was a poor choice of words on Arena Nets’ part. Honestly, they should invite all of the players who bought the game when it was released (pre-order, etc.) It seems a lot of players who buy gems, contribute to the game in many ways and people who spend time playing the game and supporting it since day 1 have not gotten in. I’m pretty sure that’s not the proper way to run a company. If you say it’s randomly selected then freaking revise your statement and take out the whole “loyal” thing. It’s not even about the beta that gets to me its the fact that YOUR choice of words really upset a lot of people who actually freaking support the game and are the true “Loyal players”.

Mounts, lol… Player housing, even more lol… Marriage system?! Downright laughable.

Its real simple. There are two types of peoples we want to bring back to the game: Roleplayers and WvWers.

The former are often smart enough to see straight through flimsy features like housing or marriage (again, lol), they probably want better basic functionality instead (like improved megaserver tech that doesnt scatter them to the wind).

The latter isnt going to give a rats kitten about anything other than WvW and GW2 is in dire need of improvements and tune ups in that area.

What about PvEers you say? HA! Grinders that have left the game isnt going to come back. The ones that havent left are still running around flipping over rocks in Orr in order to find some wooden sticks and possibly a worm or two. Or speedrunning dungeons with 5 man warrior teams. What are they going to do with player housing? Design it like CoF and start working out ways to run even faster?

But of course, Anet only seem to care about the PvEers. Living story, yay!

First of all, I was listing features and things people have been talking about and would like to see in game.

Yes believe it or not people have asked for a marriage system, go look it up on the forums, or is it too hard for you to comprehend?

Secondly, I’ve no idea what you’re even going on about with COF, who has ever mentioned wanting a home instance like COF to run it faster? what? I’m so confused.

To all of the people laughing at some of the suggestions I put up, that’s your own opinion and it does not reflect on the entire player bases opinion on things, as mine doesn’t either, but it’s there, and people have suggested it, so get over it.

Games generally have an expansion 6 months to a year after a game is released in some way or some form, plus the silence of the developers and the staff at arena net is the biggest issue we have here.

So we’re inching our way up to the 2nd year anniversary of Guild Wars 2, and yet we’re still being given living story content that’s done in literally an hour or two of playing.

Sure they’ve made living story better in some aspects, sure it’s better than living story season one so far, and sure we got a new map, but wtf?

Dry top is a beautiful map, but every 2 weeks we only get to unlock about what? 1/8th of the map? a very small portion crammed with events to make it look like there’s more to it than meets the eye. The achievements related to the Story Journal are not fun at all in my own opinion, and i’m sure other people just do them to get the points and want to get it over with as I do.

Time and time again people have been giving suggestions to improve the game and bring a lot of people back, that fall on deaf ears and go to the abyss.

Suggestions like…..

~Mounts
~Guild Halls
~Player Housing
~Expansion pack (Cantha, Elona, maybe a new one we haven’t seen in gw1 before)
~Guild Wars (GvG)
~New Skills, new weapons
~New classes
~New Playable Races
~Mini pet fighting arena in LA that hasn’t been open (yet if ever)
~Divinity’s Reach Shooting Range mini game and supposedly a bar fight mini game that was supposed to be there at launch or shortly after launch
~Marriage system
~Apprentice system
~New WvW maps (let’s face it 3 of the same map type is a big WTF even nearly 2 years after release…-_-)
~New sPVP maps and a total overhaul of the combat system to actually make it competitive and fun to watch, right now it’s a complete joke unfortunately.

There’s probably other stuff here that i’m missing so feel free to add onto the list.

However we did get a wardrobe system, 2 new maps in PVE (so far?) (1 WvW map that is basically a level/karma fest map and It’s pretty boring) cough EoTM :P,
New Gemstore outfits and items, a chunk load of mini pets that are overpriced on the gemstore to begin with, a few new SPVP maps since release, but all the same concept and design basically nothing new or interesting, Removal of the ORB in WvW that actually kind of made it fun for people trying to snipe the orb carrier and put it safely back on an altar and replacing it with lame “borderlands bloodlust” -_-

I do like the games design, I like the character customization and I like the story (somewhat, it lacks luster compared to gw1 though) but there’s just too many variables that aren’t being dealt with, or added into the game, I hope for the games sake they’re actually working on an expansion pack and the so called “Living Story” is only filler content to keep us busy while they surprise us with a BIG patch, but that seems pretty far fetched xD

Wow, you all are over thinking this.

1) It’s just a comedy show

3) Seems you guys have that kind of logic where “If I don’t like this I’m going to automatically hate anyone that does” attitude, and it’s disgusting.
4) Where have they stated it’s a show on how “geeks” or “nerds” act towards things? It’s just a show and it doesn’t take a genius to know most people don’t actually act like that in real life, not sure why anyone’s getting offended, people these days -_-

It’s the best thing there is in dungeons, no way I want to see it “fixed”. I create an instance, and if some nerd decides to kick out my friend or some other person for their guildie or whatever reason, I can simply demand them to get him back in or I disband the party. The few gold you lose and the trouble to clear the path a second time after disbanding the party at the last boss is totally worth punishing such players.
And now you want to remove all that power from me, the little options there are to punish such behaviour? Giving those guys full access to bully parties as they like, without any consequences? You’re not on a good cause here, my friend.

That’s what the report button is for in game, it’ll eventually discourage the behavior and people will think twice about doing that, they just need to be able to let you see party chat after you get kicked from the party, or simply put a “recently played with” option on friends list

Let’s not get off topic here, this happens to a lot of players, even if your internet went bad for 2 weeks you should still be able to play dungeons if you want to; regardless of it limiting your ability to contribute as much as you could with no internet issues.

Since game launch back in august of 2012 dungeons have been always attached to the person who opened the dungeon instance; if they leave (disconnect/reconnect/log out/crash/errors/change characters, leave the party, etc.) the whole party is forcefully kicked out of the dungeon, leaving a lot of angry party members feeling like they did all of that work for nothing, no reward, no exp at the end, nothing.

I myself am afraid to open a dungeon instance, even though I have all the explorable paths unlocked and I can open them myself on my main character, there’s too much variables going on here that make me shy away from starting the dungeon instance with my party, because I DO NOT want to be the one who gets blamed for everyone’s dungeon experience being ruined due to poor coding by the developers; not to mention anyone’s internet at any time throughout the day or throughout the night can go haywire and re-connect/disconnect or just plain out go offline for an unknown amount of time.

When will Arena Net fix this issue that has been plaguing the game since launch in August 2012? It’s been almost 2 years since the game has launched and this issue is a major issue for a lot of people, and we’d like to see it get fixed, we don’t want to all be kicked out of the dungeon instance just because the person who opened it in our party disconnects or has other problems occur, thank you!

Getting a legendary for most people is a long term goal, if you don’t think about it, and just enjoy the game everyday, just playing the game and actually doing something and not screwing around in town, you’ll eventually get it.

If it’s the only thing on your mind and the only thing keeping you playing the game then maybe this game isn’t for you, you shouldn’t put whether you play a game or not on a piece of equipment.

Why can't we have monks in Guild Wars 2?

Posted by: Shift Focus.9083

Shift Focus.9083

Great points, valid too. But to be honest in WvW you’re not gonna see many water field healing going on Unless it’s an organized guild. Most of the time it’s Pugs in WvW and maybe some will come on voice communication but the majority don’t, another plus side to having a monk class is you can heal anyone right off the bat and contribute, without all of the hassle and going through voice comms to coordinate.

Why can't we have monks in Guild Wars 2?

Shift Focus.9083

Guild Wars had monks, why can’t Guild Wars 2? I get the whole “we don’t want the holy trinity thing” but for what? no offense but I think it failed, it was a good try though but we need to step aside for a moment and view things from an observant point of view.

Point #1
==
Dungeon Runs – The most effective way to run a dungeon is to have your party in all zerker gear and just downing every boss you can as fast as you can, not to mention stacking up in corners, dungeons are so easy in this game it’s laughable, every boss needs to be fixed, yes, but it’s about high time we had a new profession in the game that should’ve (in my opinion) been here since day 1, a monk; let’s face it we have the LFG tool now, and people STILL wait around for a party, wasn’t that the whole selling point of not having a monk (healer class) in Guild Wars 2? so you don’t have to wait for hours to find a healer? or a tank? All you managed to do was make a DPS meta, that’s it, there’s no variety whatsoever. (I also think the rune of the monk would be EXCELLENT on an actual monk profession)

Point #2
==
World vs World – Better known as zerg vs zerg, is one big cluster of warriors/guardians running into eachother popping stability and immunitys and hoping they win the exchange to get a bunch of loot bags, by far I have never been more bored of world vs world since game launch, its repetitive, there’s not much variety at all. Anyone else feel like they don’t CONTRIBUTE anything at all to world vs world? it just feels too weird following a zerg around and just having DPS wars till 1 side collapses or runs away. A Healer in world vs world would be fantastic, In my opinion it’d feel great to be a healer and feel as if you’re contributing to the fight rather than being just another # in a zerg.

Right now the best healing class is what? Elementalist? with abysmal cooldowns and not even great heals to begin with. We need Monks back in Guild Wars 2, how come we lost all history of the monks yet we can send the durmand priory to find ancient dwarven relics which would seem it’d be harder to find by logic? yet we can’t find anything about monks and their healing arts? It would be lovely if in the future when Cantha is introduced we’d get a new healing class (Monk) and they’d be based in Cantha, all of the healing arts were somehow salvaged there and brought to use in modern Tyria.

What do you guys think? Sorry wish I could be more organized but i’m in a slight hurry here.

You sound like someone who enjoys killing other people in pve zones and thinking you’re some sort of macho man for doing it, no offense to your grammar, but It’s so stereotypical here, I’ve had my fair share of people with bad English trying to pk me, my friends, or my guild and then talk crap afterwards.

“and in pve zones players dont kill other players(kitten tolerance) "

That summed up your post right there, and i’m most likely right about the kind of person you are; don’t like the game? then leave, Guild Wars 2 will never have pking allowed in PVE zones, the only possible thing I could see that would become even remotely close to what you’re asking is GvG allowed in PVE, but that’s most likely it, and even then I don’t see a high chance of that.
