Guild Wars 2

I would love to see a buff to the core Elementalist. I’ve felt underpowered since the introduction of elite specs. It would be nice to get the stat buffs back to the core ele trait lines:

Earth: Per point: Toughness +50 Condition Damage +50
Fire: Per point: Power +50 Condition Duration +5%

Etc. The June 2015 update killed this mechanic that made the core traits worth it imo.

You can’t always win. With medium skills and medium luck you’ll only win 50% of the time. The game is less frustrating for non-top-tier players when you actually get some progression rewards for your effort as well when you end up dead. So, it me it is fine to give some rewards towards a loss.

A good player can end up in a bad team and lose and a bad player can end up in a good team and win also.

I want an Epic Elder Dragon flying mount, please.

My experience is that the UI stops responding while the repair actually continues in the background. You can notice the heavy disk usage while it is running. Just leave it alone for a few hours and it should finish.

Can you try disabling WiFi and use wired ethernet instead to see if this solves your problem?

Not that I know of. But it would be a welcome option to be able to toggle fisheye. Many older games give you FoV controls without fisheye.

For what I’ve seen, the installer increases the size of the data file (GW2.dat) in steps while downloading. My current installed size is 32.4 GB, but expect to require more space when the expansion is going live.

Did you consume a Chalice of Glory (Deluxe edition bonus item)?

It looks like this issue is fixed.

It looks like we’re stuck on an outdated version of the game. I exited and restarted the game three times already, but this does not help enough because the error message comes back.

Does anyone know a way to force downloading the latest update?

Weaver
From a more casual player: I found this specialization very confusing to play, with the split attunements I find it hard to track which skills I will get after switching. I would suggest to make Unravel a permanent and passive toggle to allow players to stay in single-attunements while still having access to some of the new features of the specialization.

On Scepter/Dagger I dislike the movement (burst forward or backward) under some of the dual skills. I would prefer them to be attack/defense skills only and leave the character movement to the movement keys.

It would be nice to have Unravel as a permanent and passive option instead of a temporary one. This makes the weaver less complicated for more casual-style gameplay while still allowing to use some of the new abilities of the weaver. Let’s call it: Weaver Light.

Weaver is quite confusing to play for me. I don’t know if I’ll ever going to master this.

Mostly because of the split attunements. I rarely get the skills I need when switching.
Also, the involuntary movements of some of the dual attacks annoy me and may prevent me from playing Weaver.

I hope that the core GW2 builds will still be competitive at least.

I play Scepter/Dagger on all game types.

Guild Wars is still very much worth it. The story is great, especially that of Prophecies. Don’t expect GW2 like graphics, but the game still looks very beautiful.

Most content can be played solo with henchmen or heroes to complete your team. (Heroes require the Nightfall or Eye of the North expansions) But getting to the God Walking Amonsgst Mere Mortals is a very large task which requires you to get some help for some of the missions bonus objectives. For example: There are some missions where you need to actively keep a NPC alive while you need to get secondary objectives. Some other missions require you to split up and defend multiple points.

For me, achieving GWAMM took almost 10 years, but other players have completed in much less time. Still, it is not something to take on lightly. You don’t need to obtain GWAMM for Hall of Monuments rewards tho. You can try ans see how far you get and unlock rewards along the way.

I own a beast of a system, but the game still loads from a spinning, magnetic hard drive, which can be a bit slow.

Players who are satisfied with the changes are happily playing the game. Players who are unsatisfied give their comments in the forum, hoping to get heard.

Opinions in the forums are not representative of the entire player base.

I get a problem sometimes when I attempt to use an emergence waypoint. The waypoint is pinged to chat, I double-click on the waypoint, the game starts loading the level.
But when about finished loading the level, it starts loading again to the default waypoint of the map. By the time this has finished, the emergency waypoint is gone and I’m not able to help my team there.

Keep an eye on this forum thread. It has many soundtracks already:

It would be nice to be able to exchange mastery points to other type for an exchange fee. For example: Exchange excess HoT mastery points for Central Tyrian or Path of Fire mastery points when you are in need of those.

My Scepter/Dagger ele would love to see Celestial in PvP. Until that day, he’ll underperform I’m afraid. Now he has the choice to do damage without defense/healing or have defense and healing without damage.

I love the mastery system. It gave me a good guidance to further develop my character and hunt achievements. Before the system many players complained there was little to go for after getting to level 80 with ascended gear. This has been fixed.

I still have some wishes for improvement:

1.) It would be nice to be able to use experience tomes/scrolls for the mastery leveling or remove the XP requirement altogether. I found it very annoying to have gotten the mastery points, stacks of XP tomes, but still having to grind for XP again to get my mastery points applied.

2.) It wish some of the mastery abilities like the attack skills while gliding would work everywhere instead of just one map.

3.) It would be nice to be able to invest in the raiding mastery tree without having to complete a raiding part. Many players use non-meta builds and find it difficult to get into raids but still want to get the maximum mastery level with mastery points obtained elsewhere.

Apart from this I found the mastery system a good motivator to discover new places, events, battles and activities.

“Play the way you want” is partially still here. Mostly for normal PvE and WvW. For raids, higher fractals and structured PvP this is a thing of the past or never was the case. There, it is mostly “Play meta or not at all”. I personally dislike this because it excludes many players. But in the end, that is the current state of the game. Non-meta builds tend to under perform so players who tun them get discouraged or kicked.

Ele had Best survivability? Why was I one-shotted so often then in PvP by thieves and guardians?

Without the restoration of Celestial I’ll be doomed on remaining on the losing end of the battles. But well. I mostly gave up on this. I’ll get points also for losing. in the end, I’ll get the rank anyways. It just takes longer.

You shouldn’t be one shorted by thieves or guardians. Did you consider the possibility that you aren’t good?

I’ll leave this judgement to others. I know the game, know my build, know my maps and played this Ele for around 2290 hours. In PvP, I only have silver/bronze skill levels. But when I’m killed in a few seconds, there is not much time to fight back.

The expansion will be automatically be part of everyone’s game clients and it will be added as regular game updates. The first part you already downloaded with yesterdays big patch. Of course, you will need to have bought the expansion to actually play it once it is released.

Healix.5819:

It happens when you lag while in an updraft.

This. I experienced it a few times after one Path Ends release due to serverside lag.

Gliding is great indeed. And it will save me from many deaths by cliff diving assuming my angel wings will take me safely to the ground while they in fact did not. :p

Hm, I didn’t put very much effort into this season. I got qualified with Silver which was more than Bronze I got for the previous season. As my skill level after Celestial removal is between silver and bronze, this is fine for me. So, I only played ranked to keep the decay away. I mostly play Battle of Champion’s Dusk which is currently at unranked only.

Elona will be nice as well with Path of Fire. I already bought it. Hopefully, Cantha will finally become reality after PoF.

I won’t need it. I still have two stacks of experience tomes and 3 stacks of experience scrolls. :p

Gator.5729:

You also didn’t mention where you purchased it from. If it was from an unauthorized seller that might explain the issue.

Seems unlikely to me. When you run into random shop and buy a copy of PoF which turns out to be pirated, you have lost your purchase money but not your original account.

It more looks like the payment was blocked somewhere along the way. Only ArenaNet can assist there.

Make sure you have NTFS write/full control permissions to the game folder and subfolders.

I can login fine now.

Can you manually make a GuildWars2 folder on a drive with at least 35GB free space and run the installer from there?

Same error here. I can’t login since the big balance update.

Only ArenaNet GW2 support can help you with this. I wish you good luck tho. I can understand your disappointment when you try to buy the expansion but gat a locked account instead.

I can’t login also. Two things changed on my side:

1. I installed the new Windows Updates
2. GW2 applied a large update to my game client

I CAN login to Guild Wars 1 and the forums.

The game client was unable to connect to the log-in server. Please restart your client and try again. If the problem persists, contact Customer Support for assistance at http://support.guildwars2.com.

Open the gem store and click the expansion item. It is basically the same.

I always get this error. (More than a year at least) Using Firefox and I allowed cookies + javascript on guildwars2.com, buy.guildwars2.com and digitalriver.com.
However, I bought the expansion from the in-game store which works fine. (Still waiting for the gems to arrive tho)

I wonder what causes the delay. Normally my gems arrive almost instantly after payment…

Overall I like the new map and story instances. I think ANet has done a great job with LW Season 3.

It would be nice to have a new (Central Tyria) mastery to spend our newly collected points on. Now they are just excess points for the players who already unlocked all mastery trees earlier.

(Or alternatively, it would be nice to be able to exchange mastery points between different trees, allowing players who have excess mastery points to exchange them for the mastery tracks of the new expansion when released)

I received another patch and PvP works fine now.

PvP is broken indeed. I restarted four times already.
Probably a version conflict between client and server.

Same issue here. Just got a game-update, patcher restarts and advises me to repair GW2 data archive. I haven’t had GW2 data archive problems before.

GW2 is currently repairing. Windows tells me Guild Wars 2 is not responding, but it is still heavily using the disk. (Repairing data archive…)

I will see how the repairing goes. I assume it is still doing it’s thing without letting Windows know that it is still active/alive.

Update: Repair completed and game works now.

Chkdsk said everything is fine NTFS-wise: Windows has checked the file system and found no problems.

I got my gold back now. It arrived in delivery box. I updated my ticket. There was a delay of around 30-40 minutes between the time I cancelled my buy-order and received my gold.

I hope you don’t mind, but I edited the title of this thread to mention that for you, the issue has been resolved.

No problem. I’m glad it is solved.

I got my gold back now. It arrived in delivery box. I updated my ticket. There was a delay of around 30-40 minutes between the time I cancelled my buy-order and received my gold.

[I already sent in a ticket about this]

[Stressed]

I cancelled a buy-order on The Bifrost [Legendary Staff] and did not get my gold back while the buy-order is gone. I’m missing 2557 gold and one copper.

ANet: Can’t you please lock the rewards in Guild Wars 2 once it is verified that a GW1 account has these achievements?

That would fix all current and future disconnect issues. I experienced it once myself and it was quite stressful.

Quite sure. I’ll update when I have verification.
