Guild Wars 2

New to Engineers, is there a good pvp or wvw rifle build?
Especially that takes post feature pack changes into account (if applicable)?

Yeah, seriously, I was halfway through a dungeon when I realized I was hosting it, which meant everyone would get kicked out and all our work would have been for nothing.

We passed it, but that was the most intense run I have ever done, more intense than anything Anet rolled out.

I should also note that I was using a custom soundtrack, you think that might be related?
I wonder if the crash happens because it couldn’t load the “defeated” playlist correctly, but that’s just me guessing.

I’ll try everything listed and get back with results, thanks for the replies!

also, I don’t know computers, so I have no idea what it said

A message will pop up saying “a serious error has occurred that prevents the program from continuing to run.” if I die.

Not all deaths will trigger it, but I think it happens if a lot of activity is happening at time of death such as wvw or dungeons.

This happens across all characters and areas.

The weird thing is, it will allow me to play with the message still up, but without sound.

If I die again, then another message pops up that forces me to quit.

report in reply…

Since Tequatl Rising, it looked like many players (I’m not sure if all) had their custom soundtracks suddenly not play.

PC version had their problem worked out in this thread:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/audio/Custom-soundtrack-disabled

However, is there a solution for Mac players?

It worked before, but after the Tequatl Update, my music track would not play.
My songs are in MP3 format and is in a .m3u playlist.

Is nobody else having this problem?

Small detail change: the music folder was apparently already there without creating it

After the Tequatl update, my custom soundtrack suddenly stopped working.

Nobody else seems to have this problem, although maybe it has something to do with the fact that I play on a Mac.

To use a custom soundtrack on a Mac, you would follow:
Library/Application Support/Guild Wars 2/p_drive/User/Application Data/Guild Wars 2

then make a folder titled ‘Music’

This has worked in the past up until now.

So far I have tried deleting and recreating all of the music playlists, but can’t think of much more to do without damaging the game

I’m really enjoying the content so far (and would be pretty disappointed if they removed it all next month),
however, does the aspect abilities cause extreme lag for anyone else or is it just me?

emikochan.8504:

Just dodge the pull

You can’t dodge on top of a pile of crates.

Also, I type slow.
Sorry.

GuardianOMS.8067:

Did you completely miss my post of legitimate suggestions?

Oh, I did.

But I’ve already tried all of that (I knew what to do because my guild helped out), and even then, the strategies can’t hold out on all of Mag’s pressure. (If you were wondering how the fountain of invisibility could fail, they have necromancers and thief’s set traps in vital areas as ambushes. Quite tenacious, those gentlemen)

wads.5730:

thats the point

Dissuading opponents from playing, are we?
I suppose that’s one way of winning, killing off players minding their own thing, unrelated with the battle at large…

I remember when I was on the NSP server (before my guild had a transfer over to a more active server), opponents were very polite when it came to the jump puzzles and skill points.
Sorrow’s Furnace, Devona’s rest, Eredon’s, all were patient with each other and resumed the war for castles and keeps.
Today, SBI are friendly (at least, to the best of my awareness) while a hand full of mag roamers help out with skillpoints.

Okay, I probably AM overreacting to this. Precise jumping while under fire from the enemy sounds like a cool idea on paper, yet it doesn’t seem fun when your opponent is all of Russia with greatswords.

Digikid.7230:

If you want it so much- fight for it!

Easy for you to say. You have a lvl 80 character in you signature right now. Even if Mag was not carrying out their constant patrols, I would likely not be able to win a 1 on 1 duel.

Digikid.7230:

I will not give you siege for free.

I was about to say that I don’t use any siege, (because I’m more of the type to roam around and scout locations), then I realized many of you won’t care about what I have to say.
I guess the only rebuttal I have to that statement is that the means of acquiring siege is so simple, many players would already have as much emplacements as they want (being limited by supply)

Digikid.7230:

On the other hand, if you do fight your way through the puzzle and get to the top- you earned it

Uh. Well..
Sounds cheery but getting that chest isn’t going to give hours of my life back.

(Okay, alittle too depressing when I say like that, moving on…)

Digikid.7230:

…… Or just wait for a mesmer to portal you to the top, that works too.

You seem to forget the heroic Mag patrol guarding the top to strike down any filthy beggars that might steal from their infinite chest of honor badges.

Ugh, I’m too tired to think straight, I’ll look at the forums tomorrow…

It’s just… I’m trying to get that achievement (not to mention the treasure), and your guys simply waste my time jumping up there and my money repairing my armor.

This doesn’t seem like player vs player to me, it’s 5 lvl 80 guys swatting down newcomers like myself.

I’m never going to understand Mag’s fascination with camping the EB jump puzzle and killing everyone on sight…

I dunno about the rest of you, but Mag has simply too much lvl 80s for me to contend with.

One time on Anzalia Pass, a zerg of Mag walked up (not the default jogging but literally slowly walked up) and sieged the tower. A couple of them laughed before seigeing and it remains one of the creepiest thing i’ve seen in WvW.

Thanks, the potential points are:
Mag +295
CD +275
SBI +125

Henrik.7560:

whats the ppts?

The what?
Sorry, relatively new to the game, don’t know acronyms very well..

Mag 12,675
CD 10,361
SBI 5,485

I joined the jump puzzle in the EB with a CD group.
Stormguys were there, some times our group caused skirmishes here and there, but by the time we got to the dark room, we all set aside our differences.
My group climbed to the top of the animal cage (or whatever it’s called) and suddenly we were ambushed by the Mag waiting for us.
My group was wiped out, I dunno what happened to the Stormbuffs, and I found that the Mag simply camped on top to pick out anyone who climbed up.

I know it’s a competition, but not cool, guys.
