Guild Wars 2

Been waiting for this event outside of Almuten Estate in Gendarran Fields – some egg sacs should spawn, I crush them, and spawn this champ spider that I need to kill for her Enraged Spider Queen’s Venom

I’ve seen the event a few times over the years. I’ve been trying for HOURS a day waiting for it to spawn but no luck. I’ve tried guesting to lower pop servers in an attempt to get different maps.

I’m not aware of any pre for the event.

A youtube guide video for the collection also mentioned troubles with this event, saying that they had to wait till right after a patch hit to get the event. I think something’s bugging out and it’ll spawn once per map – and that’s it – never again.

While I do agree with you for the sake of customization, I can say I’ve never had this problem and can’t imagine holding down space long enough while jumping to accidentally glide?

I’m sure this has been said somewhere in the 15 pages I’m not reading through, but PLEASE let us put the shared slots wherever we want in our inventory (for example, the LAST five instead of the FIRST).

It REALLY messes with my bag system, and how I’ve played games for years, otherwise.

Just let us drag it like a bag.

This might be the best thing I’ve seen all day.

Guildie and I doing Heart and Minds story quest. Guildie gets killed, so I keep soloing. We get to the last phase, where you channel the well and make Mordy attackable. I get him low – like no visible bar low – and he phases out like I need to go channel the well again… Great, except the well doesn’t spawn. (It should be by Canach – see http://i.imgur.com/ERyKdBx.jpg)

Much qq. I kill myself and we retry without exiting. We hit him and notice he takes a LOT of damage. Rytlock spawns quickly and hits much harder, but when he spawned, Mordy immediately went down to 25% health, skipping a bunch of phases (last phase with the wells).
See: smothering shadows AND Rytlock still up http://i.imgur.com/Rfehag4.jpg

There’s the ones we get for just completing the story instance, and the ones with requirements like “don’t die” or “do something before the time runs out” or “land in the circle”

Those ones with requirements – can you get those the first time around? I assumed yes, as I’ve gotten one or two already this way from Act 1. I’m in Act 2 now, and I fulfilled the requirements for “Leave it to Me” and “No More Time” but nothing popped. Anyone know what’s up?

Thank you so much for looking at the dodges… they really need it. I’m not sure what you mean by the common tone that the staff was “too slow” though? Slow to do damage, or the animations were slow? I’m disappointed that you’ve left Dust Strike targeting as is, I think most feel it should be an aoe and not a line. I think Vault could definitely be left with high ini cost, with an evade (PROBABLY at the start, when the actual leap occurs).

Other than that I’m glad you stopped the wild ini eating and increased the damage on some of the skills, but I’m overall disappointed. You’ve made changes, but not on anything that I had an issue with…

Basket of Boxes.1976:

Traditionally Anet has left most of the original achievements in the game, the only temporary achievements have come with festival/events, WvW leagues and LS1. Off the top of my head I can’t think of any other types of achievements they have removed.

Any of the old boss ones, before they reworked (Teq). Actually, there’s a whole section in Historical for retired achievements.

Crash as soon as I launch game, with “send report to anet” window and all. Could play yesterday no problem. Already tried checking DirectX since saw it suggested on forums.

I’ve actually tracked some of them down and liked their facebook pages. Other concept artists as well. Hunt them down outside of anet, don’t limit yourself to what they make for this game.

If you turn your shaders off the highest setting it removes that.

I have one, because I need two professions to be able to refine each mat to ascended (wood/ore/leather/cloth) but also would like to slowly work on leveling my other professions (or I needed an odd one like cooking for maw dry).

I don’t think I need a second.

Kuldebar.1897:

Reportedly, it has been bugged in the past

The ruins and the heart area there have been one of the buggiest spots since beta, yeah. Don’t know why the particular bit of map is so bad, it’s like the bermuda triangle of game code.

I was wondering if the location Dobbs is standing in might have something to do with bugged/unbugged status though. Generally NPCs have a more solid location than “yeah, kind of within 900 range of this spot” so it seems sort of curious. I’ve never caught him moving or walking either.

At this point I wonder if I should just post this to the bugs forum.

He should start an event that unlocks a merchant you need access to for the treasure hunter achievement… but he doesn’t. Ever. After a few hours of semi-afking with the game on the side of my screen, I’ve pretty much lost the will to go on.

What I did notice was that on each map he is standing in a different spot. Sometimes he’s in the trees, sometimes on the path… other time’s he’s almost down by the water. Is there any significance to this?

I know this game was never meant to be about the end game, but the “journey” of leveling and exploring, doing what you want when you want.

After getting 6 classes to 80, and the other two halfway there, with 100% completion on two and ~80% on the other 80’s… and running 15 dungeon paths a night for a few months, fractals here and there, and some stabs at spvp/wvw…

I dunno. I feel as if I’ve played the game to death. Taking a break doesn’t help, because the game is… exactly the same. Like many others, I’m confused about anet’s choices lately. I do like the LS, really, but each 2 week installment adds enough new content for me to finish in one night.

If they aren’t going to add any content other than the biweekly LS episodes, I’m at a loss as to what to spend my time doing. I really don’t want to leave the game, but is there some way to creatively breathe life back into the game, as a player? Or, have I hit the limit of how much I’ll get from it?

defrag your hdd?

loading textures for the first time is a i/o bottleneck operation

Working on that suggestion, but, win7 automatically defrags on a schedule (supposedly mine goes every wednesday – last time it ran was in June). Assuming that’s correct, this has been a continuous issue before and after my last defrag.

june is a long time ago.

Do you shutdown your computer, hibernate, etc? The defrag program only runs a certain time and will not run if the system is not active. I usually defrag manually because I pretend nothing works.

https://www.piriform.com/defraggler/download

you can use this defragger to take a look at gw2.dat file. Its ok to for files to fragment but its not ok when they are fragmented in over 1k+ pieces.

Defragged, still have issues. Might try that file repair thing. My hdd was on the cheap end… guess this might be what I get for that lol.

Been playing since launch on the same desktop:
64 bit Win7
i5-2500k
8gb ram
Radeon HD 6800-something

Generally average 30-60fps with max settings, unless I’m in a zerg. Since the destruction of LA, I’ve been having a LOT of issues with the environment not loading. Doesn’t appear to have anything to do with the number of people around since it happens equally in crowded maps and emptier ones. Usually it’ll all load in piece by piece but sometimes it can take a solid 30 seconds~ (PS Rata Sum with invisible floors and ceilings is pretty cool)

I had an issue a year or so ago with this graphics card and had to get it exchanged… No oc, and I’ve played with the drivers a little to no avail. Please don’t tell me my card is broken AGAIN.

Welcome to thiefdom: if you don’t dodge, you’re downed. Or, well, almost. Assuming you’re full zerker (if you really aren’t into the full zerker squish, you could add in some valkyrie gear) . I think it really mostly really boils down to knowing the encounters and boss animations.

I’m not sure about d/p being better for anything other than adding some blind to mobs, but I see that more as “party utility” and not “personal survival” because I tend to not be the one taking damage (personally would take it over s/p – I really like my heartseeker). You can also achieve mass blind by dropping a shadow refuge and cluster bombing into it.

Stand behind the boss when possible (AC p1). Know your fights and how to dodge for them (CoE). Don’t stand in circles on the ground (TA/CoE/SE p1 boss). Avoid knockdowns at all cost (AC).

And sometimes, just don’t melee. Leurent in TA – he hurts. Instead of getting downed every 2 seconds because he’s swingin’ his greatsword around like a cheerleader with a baton, I just range him. Ginva (HotW p1) is equally as ridiculous and takes an absurd amount of time, so I p/p him and go through my bags or something. You meleeing him might shave 5 seconds off the 4 minute fight, but have fun with that one.

I kind of tune it out, but people I party with ask “WHY DO YOU HAVE THAT WAYPOINT UP?” :U

I dunno. It’s always on my map. Log in – it’s on my map somewhere. Maybe in DR when I’ve been in Orr all day, idk. I don’t put it there, and removing it doesn’t work, it just kind of ends up back on my map at some point. I know the key to remove it is left alt, but there doesn’t seem to be a bindings option for map controls under options.

INB4 “you’re hitting alt and placing it without realizing” (I’m not. I’m super careful, and it’s placed for me when I log in, usually in some far off corner of the map I haven’t had my cursor anywhere near)

CoE p1 – finished the last Subject Alpha fight as usual, got the one chest with 26s – but the second wouldn’t pop up. We tried waypointing to the start and running back, and having everyone leave the dungeon and re-enter. No luck, Agent Spire got stuck in the boxes it seems and was determined to stay there.

Huh, no, I guess that’s normal. When you really look at some of the textures, they aren’t the greatest. I can’t say I’ve really even noticed… they look better the further you zoom out haha. It’s no Skyrim (mods or not).

Same spot, at night.

I had a similar freezing issue when my graphics card was going…
If you run this test and it doesn’t complete or freezes… well. Good luck. Slow loading could just be cuz your laptop isn’t quite strong enough, unless it’s a new thing.

Oddly enough with both at max graphics, my boyfriend’s NVIDIA computer seems to show a lot more detail than my AMD in some areas. Since you don’t have any images, I can’t tell you if your textures are normal or not…

And some places have more foliage than others. They kept it on the tame side for those on low end computers, I think.

All servers seem to be having huge connectivity and server-side issues right now? I think it mostly passed, but ;-; so many failed world events.

I was fine till about 10 minutes ago, (till mass dc’s and 10 sec server lag)

Fort Aspenwood just got his mid-balth with a dc wave and then 10+ second server lag for a few minutes. Cost us the temple and everything. : /

Quit it, anet. >:l

Same issue here – made within minutes of launch but no gift.

Same issue here I think. 6870 HD. Started with wintersday patch.

Past few days I’ve been playing, occasionally the game totally freezes like bad lag for about 5 seconds, then the screen goes black for a few seconds, then the game comes back. It’s getting worse (just had it happen 2 times in 10 minutes), and doesn’t seem to have a trigger like lots of people/effects on screen – but it mostly always happens in combat.

Was scared it was a hardware issue, but this is the only game it happens with.
Thought it might be the drivers, but they’ve been the same since before Halloween with no issues till recently.

Uh. Any ideas?

EDIT: Lol forgot, AMD Radeon HD 6870 (drivers are version 12.10) / Win 7 64bit
