Insane lag with Tequatl

in Dynamic Events

The event lag keeps costing the Tequatl kills. The biggest problem is having around 30 seconds to go on battery defense phase the event will complete, Tequatl will be actually there if maybe even invisible and all that precious time will be lost on the burn phases.

Unintended Monthly Achievement Rollback?

Was at 3/4 too and now back at 1/4. Does this also means that people who did finish their monthly get to do it again while the rest of us just get to do it all over again with no benefits?

Cannot start the game anymore

I tend to play the game in windowed mode and it seems to have bugged on me. Now the game crashes soon after it’s started. The reason i believe it’s a crash related to the windowed mode is the way the game screen looks just before crashing (see the attached image). Is there a way to reset the startup settings so that it starts on full screen ignoring the current settings? I hope theres a simpler solution than reinstalling the whole game.
EDIT: Solved. To reset your info like that delete local.dat in your Documents\Guild Wars 2 folder. After a short update its all good and reset.

Insane amount of lag

Got some increased latency issues the last couple of days too and only in GW2. Other games are working fine as always but GW2 is stuck on relatively high latency (200-300ms) with sometimes a huge spike ending in a DC. Btw, playing on EU server, Seafarer’s Rest.

Easy solution to the Ascended Gear problem #2

I know theres still no ascended armor and weapons in game but im pretty confused with their stats and the upgrade slot reserved for infusions. Eg the Yakkington ring featured in the official thread with these stats:
+ 50 Power
+ 50 Precision
+ 10% Magic Find
+ 18 Precision
+ 18 Power
- Infusion upgrade slot
1. Why are the added bonus stats not in the same order as the base stats. I know its a silly remark but it really jumps out and we all know looks are everything.
2. On a more serious note; why include those stats directly onto the items instead of providing the standard upgrade slot along with the infusion ugrade slot? Why remove the possibilty for us to choose the upgrade we want like it is right now?
And this brings me to the reason why i made the topic: What is the runes’ and sigils’ future? Are we really expected to invest in superior runes for our exotics just to completely scrap them when we upgrade to ascended? Are the varied runes upgrades providing a wide range of effects beide the standard +X STAT Y such a bad concept that it doesnt work for end gear? Or does the dumbing down of game mechanics come hand in hand with gear progression?

Hi, i’m a mesmer and i don’t need to manually target anything or have LOS to use the berserker. You get close to something hittable, use the ability and observe big numbers on screen. If this gets fixed (requiring LOS) im rolling a thief (like i already haven’t)

This is definitely the best event i have experienced in a MMO. Getting so much stuff to do for just an ingame event was great.
Loved the first time i logged in LA, entire place decorated. I can only expect the decorations to spread on other parts of Tyria for next year event and cant wait to see it.
The ghost scavenge hunt in Act 1 and 2 was really fun to do, the hints required some decent knowledge of the game lore and it was fun to try to get some of those without looking at other players’ guides.
The 2 mini games? OMG it was so great to see you implement those just for the event. Maybe the things i enjoyed mostly. Small fun minigames, with no real rewards behind em, but just there to enjoy em.
The clocktower was such a source of rage trying to complete it and such joy and sense of accomplishment when i finally did it. Completed it several more times just for fun. The only thing i really hated was seeing the cutscene over and over agian.
The one time event is something the MMOs really need despite some people disagreeing. It doesnt need to be something spectacular and rewarding, actually it shouldnt be that but these event give players the right to say, “Yes, i was there!”, and are always something the community will revolve around.
Ascent to Madness dungeon was spot on, a quick dungeon with a low chance to get all the event goodies and more to make the farmers happy. Available only for a short amount of time to cause no imbalances and the best thing: every level can enjoy it!
And everything else, the free “i was there” devil horns, pumpkin carving cause whats halloween without pumpkin carving, extra dynamic events, the costume brawl even though not a halloween thing couldnt be introduced at a better time and what not else.
So much effort from Arenanet for just a 10 days holiday event. I can’t wait to see whats next

How long will the event be on? Please answer!

@ Mythrindir Yes cause right now it lasts only 14 days wich is totally not 2 weeks.
This is Act 3, Act 4 starts on the 31st and the entire event ends on the 5th. Everything is very well written here https://www.guildwars2.com/en/events/halloween-2012

Halloween exotic weapons?

The price will drop so much that you should just mail it to me, i might even send a couple of gold back.
On a serious note; expect the price to drop slowly till the event last. After the event ends the price will only go up so its up to you and how soon do you want the money. The more you hold on to it you will get more for it.

How do you know what to do?

Lack of indication is a little annoying. I managed to find everything by myself in Mad King World without any problems. However, how does one begin the search for Memories VII? There’s no indication telling you where to start. Without VII, you can’t find VIII-XII.

Read the hint on the book you got in Act 1 maybe?

I raged bad at this when i was doing it and thought it to be a miss. But when you complete it you just want more and more. The idea is great, the difficulty is great. The fact that if you fail a try you dont actually die and have to run from a waypoint is spot on for any future jumping puzzles of the same difficulty. But please do realize that we do not want to watch a cutscene over and over again. When there is an event expected to be repeated several times make so the eventual cutscene is show only once.

I love the OP’s abitily to put in fancy words his discontent with the disability to control markets for personal gain.
I just love ANet’s global TP. If an analogue could exist IRL i believe we would live in a much better world.

Its an event, who says you have to get something out of it. Imagine going on a concert IRL. You spend money, get wasted, you might even not like the music but you do something different than every other day and it passes and you get nothing material out of it except memories (or maybe not even those).

Why I'm not happy with the Halloween event

Thesalesman.8350

This thread is simply hilarious. In a sad sad way.
Even if you didnt read the official website which is enough, no real need to google anything, the big event circle on LA map and the event text constantly being on your screeen didnt give you any clue? Maybe talking to the event quest NPC and trying to do what she asks? Maybe than you would move just a bit outside LA, notice the candy corns around the map, the spawning doors too? It cant be really this hard to try to use your brain.

Agree with the above but are they really not counting towards the achievement? That should be fixed IMO.

I'll never be able to get the new skins. It is not fair.

So if you would IRL buy something like national lottery ticket and not win anything it is right to complain to them about it?
Theres a chance to win, you either do win or you dont. By taking part in it you aknowledge the possibility of not winning anything.
