Guild Wars 2

i’ve been having a crash issue since the update, black screen with audio looping. have to hard reset every time to get back into windows

been trying a few things from the forums to no change, crashes within 5 mins of logging into any character.

however, i changed from fullscreen 1920×1080, to window and i’ve played for over 1.5 hours already with NO ISSUES. not sure exactly why, but thought i’d post my ‘fix’ for now. note: window fullscreen still crashes the game, just not window mode. weird.

so i’ll keep this setting (temporary i hope) so i can atleast play while something more permanent is available.

This annoys me, people like you.

This is why open world events will never be truly great.

Because if their IS a negative to losing a event, then people cry about it.

So events instead of becoming better, they be nerf until they have no change on the world whats so ever.

I got no problems with events, i do more then enough on all my characters.
Im talking about 1 event to get into a dungeon . 1 event per map that doesnt need to happen.

No other mmo in the last 10 years i can name that i played had these " events " that needed to be completed before running a dungeon.

Some days i have hours to play, the events dont bother me 1 bit, other days ive only got maybe 1 hour, so spending 20 minutes doing an event to run a dungeon is meaningless, i may aswell not run it.

Dont you understand?
I want to run dungeons. i love running dungeons. i dont want to do events to actually get to do what i want to do.

i agree with most of what you said, events in the zones are fun, dungeons are fun, but ‘winning’ events to ‘unlock’ dungeons is just a poor design. its more of a useless time sink (hardly rewarded for doing so).

but to respond to your ‘no other mmo in the last 10 years…’ part, (sigh, gonna have to say it) WoW, wintergrasp and tol barad (both pvp zones) alliance vs horde, whoever wins, gets control of the raid dungeon to play

there was an official post about it, saying to accept the item (from mail), delete mail, and store chest into bank until you’re on the correct / proper character (lvl 80). cant seem to find it atm though, sorry :/

I thought this was well known as many complained about it during the event?

this and the in-game mail says not to open on an alt / lower level char, use with the char that would have participated in the karka finale, i.e. lvl 80 one

opened mine, 2 rares, accessory, box, exotic, and the legend. originally didnt even care about loot i just wanted the 20 slot box (cmon thats like a free 10g)

snip

I really feel like the entire system needs a rework from the ground up. Why not make each dungeon drop a universal token that we can take to any vendor for the look we want, and then let us pick the 3 stats we would like on it? Give us a chance to get out of these dungeons and explore the world you made Anet.

not a universal token probably by design, everyone would run the quickest (may not be easiest), path / dungeon, to get the tokens.

but i also wonder why they decided to have certain stats with certain gear, and not like in gw:nf (nightfall) where you only buy the look and base stats (just the armor level) and you put your own insignia in it ( for gw2 it’d be knights, clerics, explorerers, etc), aswell as rune like you do now.

maybe have each npc vendor also sell these insignias, 30 tokens each or something idk

1. 3 day headstart
2. almost 700 hours
3. about 18g
4. one 80, two 75s (working on them atm)
5. dungeons, general leveling alts (sells stuff that drops)
6. i DO NOT use mf gear, nor do i think i ever will. stat belongs elsewhere (different game/genre)
7. exotic weapon, no. but i’ve had a couple exotic armor pieces (without mf)
8. no, same as above
9. didnt keep track, but imo ‘enough’ to feel like ive accomplished something / rewarded for my time
10. i DONT expect any exotic loot to drop, im happy with what i get
11. didnt care to keep track, materials are materials. i loot em as i see em, and then move on
12. yes i craft, four 400s, artificer, cooking, jeweler, tailor
13. as with gw1 i dont sell mats, im a hoarder
14. yes
15. bugs

the daily and monthly achievements reset at midnight of whatever the world time goes by, gmt or something. which is why when daylight savings fell back an hour the US achievements actually went back an hour 7pm → 6pm for me, while its still midnight for resets

I was thinking the same thing, so i logged into the game and saw it show 1 out of 3 tiers, which doesnt make sense if its only during the event since its not the entire month, and might cause some players with less time to play to be a bit disappointed.

just noticed the halloween contest with mention of in game stuff on the main page coming soon, woo hoo, but no further details just yet.

thats ok! thx for the heads up AN!

I played the original aswell as factions, nightfall and the exp pack. the halloween event was about 2 weeks long, and only in the 1st and 3rd games, factions being more asian-like didnt have an event til the canthan new year (chinese new year) or so. sure hope they bring back events, but with other top priorities, i can see if there isnt one for awhile.

*edit, also forgot to mention there were decorations, stuff changed or added like the water (in LA) was green and smokey, the moon was a kick kitten orange skull, the giant fountain changed to giant cauldron, oh and of course Mad King Thorn npc finale.
