Guild Wars 2

Used the Squad system today for WvW commanding. Initial impressions are very good and this is easily going to be a favourite feature of mine. Some things I think could make it even better:

1. If the squad UI is set to the maximum possible size, the UI size could dynamically adjust as players join/leave to ensure all squad members are visible
2. At the maximum width of the squad UI, I’d love to be able to fit up to 10 rows on the visible UI (I felt 6 rows visible was not enough for a large group which I wanted to break into more small subgroups)
3. I’d love if a second squad member could be granted permissions to manage subsquads, so that the commander may focus on other tasks when needed.
4. Naming of subsquads would be useful for organisation.
5. Horizontal re-ordering of the members of a subsquad by drag-and-drop.
6. A “default” subsquad for new players joining the squad who have yet to be allocated into another subsquad. (Currently this is doable by moving everyone out of subsquad 1, but a cleaner approach would be nice)
7. Targeting per subsquad, rather than per squad
8. Subsquad commanders. Ideally the ability to have an icon (commander icon or something else) over their heads and on the map, because this can be useful for organised WvW teams where more than one commander tag is often used.
9. Allow squad members to toggle between seeing the full squad (like it is now, all players but no buff indicators) and seeing just their subsquad (something similar to minimal party UI with visible buffs, but hiding other subsquads from view).
10. For WvW only, an indicator of the # of supply carried by each player in the corner of their icon would be a neat addition
11. Clearer distinction between A] players who are in the same map but far away and B] players who are in a different map. Perhaps different background colours?

Looks like I got carried away… hope something there is a useful addition

Lootbag Quest [Loot]

We are a World-vs-World-focused, English-speaking guild based solely on Gandara (EU) with approximately 80 members. We are a casual, friendly community that welcomes any Gandaran players who regularly play this gamemode, regardless of whether they are first-week newbies or three-year veterans.

A large part of what we do is transferring knowledge and experience from our more experienced players – many of whom have been a part of more organised “hardcore” guilds – to our newer players. We aim to help bridge the skill gap for new players to join Gandara’s more serious/“hardcore” WvW guilds, or otherwise just to provide a relaxed environment where people can play WvW for fun with a minimum of strings attached.

As for our events: We play WvW in small groups on a nightly basis. We participate in larger “WvW raids” on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, usually after 19:00 BST, with friends from other guilds. We occasionally also play PvP and PvE. All of our events are open to the wider WvW community on Gandara.

If you’re on Gandara and would like more information, feel free to contact me: Skrytt.9478

Gandara WvW players also affected. Playing in Eternal Battlegrounds, multiple players seem to crash simultaneously (though not the entire group).

Experiencing the same issue in a tournament PvP game on Temple of the Silent Storm. All players from our match are currently trapped in a PvP game where score 500 was already reached by one team. Attempting to leave through any means seems to port us straight back into the match.

RouterGeeks.6320:

In the other thread someone discovered that disabling auto proxy detect solved the CoherentUI crash issue.

Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings
Make sure “Automatically detect settings” is UNchecked

This has solved the issue for several of us on both Windows 8.1 and Windows 7.

Works perfectly for me, thank you! I can login without needing to use the -nopatchui workaround I suggested earlier.

I had a similar crash today – I found the following fixed it for me (on Windows 7 64-bit):

1. Create a new shortcut to the GW2.exe executable
2. Right click the shortcut and click “Properties”, then click the “Shortcut” tab at the top
3. At the end of the “Target” box (after the existing text and after the closing speech mark) add the following, replacing the <> bits with the appropriate text:
-email <your account email address> -password <your password> -nopatchui
4. Click Apply, OK, then double click the shortcut to launch GW2

For me this seemed to skip whatever part of the launcher screen was crashing, hope it works!

Edit: Once you’re in, don’t open the trading post, or you will crash! If you don’t open it you should be fine
