Guild Wars 2

OK…at least I’m not alone

You know guys, not everyone enjoy high end comp with FPS over 40. By experience, I’ve found that an average FPS between 30 and 40 is normally enough to enjoy a good gaming experience including most of the JP (even though they become more difficult). But when the FPS goes below 25 (or even 10 like it happened to me in DryTop), JP are virtually impossible and more than frustrating.

So not all people are “trolling” when they complain about JP or when they say they found them difficult.

Well, I’ve never experienced that much lag as since 3 or 4 days ago. Actually, Yesterday was the worst with FPS dropping around 9-11 for nothing then coming back after a little while. With or without zerg by the way.

Zudet…that’s what I though also, but then there was people complaining of major lag in the chat windows at the same time, so I’m pretty sure it’s not, at least not only, my ISP/computer.

Same here, only the monthly events (1/4) and the completionist (75%)… :-(
What is the matter ? that’s ridiculous…

How long do you think Anet will take to answer that one (if they do) ? a month ;-) ?

Since August 6th patch..got the Auto-loot UI on without the functionnality at all time even if autoloot is off. I`m talking about the column of loot icon that pile up at the right of the screen.

I`ve tried to turn autoloot on and off but that pile of icon won`t go.

didn`t see any new option to turn off…very annoying

Although…from my experience I’ve never seen the name of the guild in the message…only the logo on the banner….but then again, I’ll check more carefully the next time I’ll claim.

Anyhow…Thanks Mercury

Hello,

Does anybody knows :

1. How long those public banner stays ?
2. Do they provide any kind of influence to the guild ? (in other words … is there an incentive for the guild to provide those public banner ? )

Thanks…just don’t seem to find those answer anywhere.

@novantacingquelTA…..Thanks

0 precursor, never used MT though. But how can you account played hours ? … In GW1 there was a counter…but I didn’t find any in GW2…where is it if any ?

Same as Julie Yann….I suck at JP … when I can get a portal out of generosity…I usually send a tip….just normal…hence if someone wants to charge why not ? If I can’t afford it then I won’t take it.

I agree with OP…while it’s normal for regular mob…during an event, with champ or waves of mob, it would be great to have the clock start only at the end of the event giving us the time to gather the loot.

running through the field to gather it while new waves of mob are coming in is not always advisable … but I’d rather put that thread in suggestion that bug though since it has to be a clock for loot to disappear … if not Orr would sink back with the weight of dead corpse !

Got used to have the health bar where it is and I would probably keep it there…but having buff and conditions of the pet would be extremely useful…and yes around the party UI would be great.

Well as much as I can see your point, especially for event like Giant Worms, SB or even the Dragons…..I don’t think they are “too high”…those events are in low level maps…and even them they could be made better loot wise while keeping the loot at par with the map level.

Things is that when you do the temples, especially for the first time, story and challenge might be most of the incentive….but then after it’s for the loot, the loot and the challenge…..

Just finished Melandru….cost for the armor more than 6 silvers…loot ? blue something for the priest (which is the one that cost so much in armor)…the huge chest ? all blue and some green ! One yellow with the bonus chest (wouhou !)…seriously !?!?

Now…don’t take me wrong…regular mob ?…well I’m good with them loot wise…champion ? depends…won’t say I wouldn’t prefer better loot..but ok…

Priest in the cathedrals…well …. those are the problem…no wonder people prefer to farm at penitent than doing them….not worth the effort when the probabilities are the same than regular mob….

Here’s the suggestion…wouldn’t it be possible for specifically those event to have at least rare loot (gear or crafting) and a higher probability for exo ? (not only in the bonus chest I mean) ? Would give better incentive to do those event at least.

From my experience, that depends on the pet. I usually have Fern Hound and the snow leopard. The Fern Hound is quite effective (especially if he’s not dead himself) by the snow leopard is inconsistent on that matter, and doesn’t do anything if already dead.

Got to admit that I didn’t try all of the other though

Hello,

Just tried to complete the Speed Reader Achievement in Fields of Ruins (world Borliss Pass) but never received it.

I know it’s an hidden one (or even a remnant of a dead project) but I thought it was still available….

Is it a bug or was it just removed ? (did it twice to be sure to not go even near area not in the city)

Thanks

Just a two cents from a simple player….couldn’t it be the keyboard settings ? Looks like it’s mainly Europe and Asia but not America….maybe just some kind of keyboard code that it’s not recognized by the database….maybe try using american english keyboard ?

Normal behavior …. well sort of since the item looks like it’s bugged

… rant …
If you need me, I’ll be watching Game of Thrones. I can’t take any more of this kids stuff.

Would you mind sending me your excess gold and crafting materials before you go? I could use them.

Can use it as well …. by the way, being in my 50’s and loving those kind of addition to the game…I think it’s not a question of demo but a personal view to the game….What I don’t understand is that if you don’t like a part (especially something like SAB) don’t do it there is plenty of things to do in that game, especially for casual gamers.

I know it’s a real basic check and no offense is intended …but did you check that you have less then 10 mail with something in them ? (less that 10/10) If you have already 10 you will only received the reward after you cleaned some

Why don’t we have Hardcore mode in dungeon in addition of the two actual mode ? That would please the Post-80-masochist-players-who-enjoyed-grinding-boss-for-hours-lenght.

Game cannot be hardcored since it’s not instanced but dungeons can be. There could be even dungeons intended for hardcore player only.

That way, new players and regular/casual ones would be able to play the game as intended without having the event/mobs buffed at each patch and the post-80 ones will find them more “interesting”.

What do you think ?

Patch Note : Updated skillsets for several krait and undead creatures to make them more entertaining to fight.

To OP….well said…excellent post

Still bugged in Borliss Pass. Even if you talk to the NPC at the beginning…event looks like it start/restart but Bamm still there doing nothing….

No ! No ! No ! No ! …………..needed 15 char lenght

Not only that, some crafting (amulet to be exact) are already soulbound as soon as they appeared in the inventory….even if you don’t need them and didn’t equiped them….hence useless to craft since you cannot do anything with them but destroy them.

Looks like it’s not only the Ranger Gear Box that is bugged after all…. Maybe Anet should apply the same to all boxes until all bug have been corrected.

1. WvW is PvE with PvP thrown in, or the other way, both work.
2. World completion is optional, if you have issues with the way it’s set up, then don’t do it.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind them being in WvWvW, hell I enjoy WvWvW. However having to rely on others to help you complete something is where the problem for me lies.

Sure leave the points in. Place them in dangerous places close to keeps/enemy spawn zones etc….. That I don’t mind. Just don’t make me rely on others to get something.

GUILD Wars

From wiki : "The name of the series comes from the Guild Wars, a series of conflicts between Tyrian guilds which led to decline of humanity and allowing the charr to invade and eventually retake Ascalon, and other events of the first series of the games. "

Sorry your arguments is invalid :-)

As a matter of fact, did start one thread with that also….totally agree with OP especially since it’s costly to change server. And by the way, it’s not only waiting for our world to get to a specific place, things is that unless one of the world really bad, there is some place that will never be on our side…Yes I know Map Completion is optional, as anything in a game…but Map Completion is pure PvE, nothing to do with PvP…..

WvW has to be removed from Map Completion since guesting is impossible in that area.

Does anyone know if that bug is solely on the Ranger Box or does it affect the other boxes as well ?

I don’t know if it’s a bug or not….but with a friend (party of two) we did the “Don’t break the shinny” mini-dungeon…there’s only one person that can break the shinny which is what trigger the achievement….but only that person received the achievement…we had to do it twice then …

Shouldn’t the whole party have receive the achievement on the first run ?

Not that it is really hard of anything, but annoying since it’s called “mini-dungeon”.

The relationship between low drop rate/everything-cost-money and Cash Shop is obvious. Nevertheless there IS a problem with the drop system.

Wooden Chest that gives white item/junk which goes against Anet own patch note. Veteran/champion that drop piece of junk (when they drop something). etc…. And for what I read, MF that does nothing anymore….

So even with the Cash Shop thing…the drop system is bugged actually and should be corrected….IMO

No…don’t play any MMO with monthly subscription. It’s the main reason I play GW (1 or 2).

But for your last question…probably not…why would it be a flopped ?

But a question of my own…why are you even asking ?

Frankly, if a guild don’t accept the rules of the game, multi guild possible, then leave it. But even though, Rage, as OP putted it, is not acceptable…never…you should leave them right away just for that.

DreamOfACure.4382:

They should swap out normal PvE with livestock.

Servers have their own allied PvE mobs, and enemy PvE mobs will run away if you attack them. There could be shepherd/herder npc’s too which focus on CC’ing and retreating; but the retreats would be slow because its herding livestock.

They would all be just outside keeps and castles, and grant benefits to the area (like more supply) if protected, giving enemy servers another angle to attack points from, to weaken it before the final assault to cap the point.

Sorry … not sure to understand you post (no sarcasm here … really not understanding)……what is your point ?

Agreed…always played Ranger (GW1 and GW2)…Always understood that class as mainly long range fighter…never understood why “we” can’t use rifle….huntsman crafter may craft rifle but as hunter/ranger we can’t use them…..strange…personally (and I mean personally only) I was surprised to ever be able to use greatsword as to me it has more a heavy fighter/guardian feel…..And yes LongBow might need adjustment.

WvW is unfortunately part of World Completion. Since we can’t guest WvW just for PvE purpose I’m wondering why PvP maps are part of a PvE achievement.

Don’t take me wrong here, WvW or PvP in general is fun and a necessary part of the game…but they are obviously not PvE.

That makes world completion almost impossible unless your world wipe out the entire four maps….or you pay a lot of money/gems just to hop from world to world…

I’ll take this topic into Suggestion then

@ Interpol….agreed….then take the PvE out of WvW….I really cannot understand why there’s PvE within WvW….has nothing to do there

Agreed…normally if I go to any PvP or WvW map that would be to do exactly that…..but wasn’t my idea to include WvW maps in World Completion. Just trying to find a solution to accomodate PvE people that wants WC like me….And there is part of the map that would be almost impossible to get without changing world since they are in starting point….so unless my world is able to totally wipe out another one which I doubt is even possible…………………………………………..

The question relate to map completion. Don’t care about having WvW on another world.

Don’t get me wrong, WvW is fun sometimes but not my main interest, prefer to explore. But since those maps are included in map completion I need to do them….But having to pay real money just to transfer to 2 other worlds and back to mine is ridiculous….I understand the fact that Anet wants to avoid mass migration…but can’t we just guesting and be “neutral” while doing it…..would avoid the migration and still keep the map completion doable….or take them out of World completion since we can’t do it anymore without changing World.

xCrusadentx – Got to say that I don’t see the problem…but I can’t imagine somebody spending Karma to buy armor just to get some leather or linen pieces…..Personally, got better use for my karma……

Khisanth – Seriously :-) ???? Not after what I’m reading about that Mystic Toil……heu … Forge… sorry … :-D !

but Crusadent have some point though if you think about the Rune even if I don’t care much about the pricing in TP…well my feeling is that I find it a pity not to be able to do much with it….even having only the material without the rune would be a good solution from my point of vue.

Just a two cents….I don’t care much with the Monthly….and neither with the dungeon (they are fun but I prefer exploring)….things is that I wonder why they are included in the explorer achievement (as far as I know from the Wiki)….they are more battle/reward/strategy oriented than exploration/event oriented and they already have their own achievement…..

Then again if I’m mistaken about that…don’t flame…just say so ;-) !

By example….you get an armor piece from a Karma Merch…it’s soulbound, no price tag. After leveling….you change (from loot or whatever)….well there is nothing to do with your old piece of armor other than destroy it….find it a pity…

Don’t get me wrong, wasn’t bought with money so no price tag..normal…it’s a piece of used armor..I’m sure nobody would want to wear it :-)…..but still…destroy it ? can’t we just get it salvage at least ?

Got the same feeling….I’m not as impressive (Ranger Lvl 80 so no scale up) and might not have a max in defense…but still … 1 or 2 hits kill ? Wonder what they eat ! :-) … And in the same time, I feel like they are always invulnerable or close !

Seriously, some people there looks like they have superpower !

No …. level cap at 80 is fine

Caedmon.6798:

They do not want people to res/run while in dungeons,meaning one or 2 people keep fighting the boss while the others who were killed,just use the WP and run back quickly to get on the boss again while that other guy keeps the agrro so it does not reset.Theyr trying to stop this “exploiting”.

Don’t know there…but looks to me that the “cure” is worst than the illness….

Eared that it was another of the new “improvement”….although can’t understand why they did that…would anybody knows ?

Local Hero achievement ask for 500 hearts, on World Map there is 301 hearts possible (done all of them)….where are they other 199 hearts ? Doesn’t seem to have any in the Mist (which is kind of logical) and of course not in PvP….so where are they ?

Silver Halliwell.4735:

If you ever plan to get a legendary, you can always dump the stuff into the Mystic Forge and hope for a precursor…

Yup, I know….“hope” is the key word… …but still would prefer having a usable one….If I don’t need it…well could always follow that suggestion, but at least I would have been able to use it…..

That’s my point, it’s not that it’s totally useless…only that I find it frustrating that the reward is not taking account of the character class … map completion is not something as a random kill or even a boss kill as you can do those over and over…it’s a one time reward for that character.
