I read all your answers :p and i enjoyed reading every single one of them! good to know ppl share my opinion^^
also i rly loved dem language related answers lol
lolnope… played it on chinese servers some time ago and i have been playing it for 3 days on NA/EU.
its shiet lol… and a daily grindfest
pve is garbage and u cant rly pvp unless your ping is like 5 bcz u wont be able to chain your combos correctly. i just uninstalled it and went back to gw2, biggest waste of 25$.
the only 2 things that are gr8 about the 7 year old BnS are oily bewwbbbzz and interesting pvp.
edit: kittens? hahaha sry its like my 3rd post on forums :p
/r simply searches all the sectors on the HDD for if they are bad or not and marks them bad. It also can take a bad sector and mark it good if it passes the tests. Which can get you coming right back into the same issue again.
The best thing to do is grab a utility that can read SMART data (CrystalDiskInfo is perfect for this) and see what the sector reallocation row says, and what the general health report is (Good, OK, Bad). Then go from there.
IE, If the report is BAD then replace the HDD….
/r locates bad sectors and recovers readable information, like the gw2 information that isn’t readable anymore hence the i/o error… no? meh well it worked for me and thought id share how i fixed my problem, that way ppl might fix their’s before thinking about replacing their precious hd ;D i mean why would they replace the whole hd if everything is working fine except their gw2 game >.>
I tried to enter the map and got stuck at the loading screen for a time, eventually getting a popup with the above error and the message that the game had to terminate; there was no other, more technical info given. I can load and play other characters just fine, but that one is trapped at the loading screen and gets the same error every time.
this is a copy paste of what i wrote on the other forum thingy:
hello all, i might have found a solution for this error. this happened to me a couple of days ago and after some research on google i fixed it and gw2 is working better than ever.
An I/O disk error is something that has to do with the hard drive.(hdd ssd doesnt matter)
DO NOT replace your hard drive before trying my fix first, if your hard drive was rekt u wouldnt even be able to see this >.>
1) If you have a desktop, i would recommend opening it up(carefully) and cleaning it very very good(carefully), especially the hard disk(CAREFULLY).
2) Click on start and search for CMD, right click on CMD and run as admin(u have to run as admin or else step 3 will not work!).
3) type in: dskchk /r then enter. It will ask if you want to do the diskcheck when the pc restarts, u press Y then enter.
4) restart your pc
Your computer will start the diskcheck during the “loading windows” part and it IS GOING TO TAKE A LONG LONG LONG TIME, so do that before u go to bed or on vacation or something xD
After disk check is done windows will load and the next thing you want to do is go into the search bar again and type in: “event viewer” and click on the application. You then click on “windows log” in the top left corner, u then press on “application” under the “windows log” tab, then you want to search for a line with “wininit” under the “source” tab in the middle of the screen. There you will see the results of your disk check. Now if you see that there are “bad sectors” in your disk then your disk is rekt, if u see “Windows has scanned the file system and found no problems.” then ure good. If you see a “cleaning up…..” then ure definitly good to go.
Now try to play gw2 and tell me if it worked :p

(note: if u have multiple hds then make sure the cmd is showing the disk where gw2 is installed)
