15 tokens after the patch? Someone better fix this

I just did CoE, arguably one of the hardest dungeons in the game, only to receive 15 tokens. This is absurd.

Can’t even get a token system right…

CoE path 1 rewarding 15 badges

After a horrific run through possibly one of the worst designed instances in any game I can think of I was rewarded with 15 badges.

Thanks for wasting my time Arenanet.

  • First run of the day
  • No dungeons were run within a couple of hours of this
  • Run itself took longer than half an hour

Is there a soft crit cap?

I have 50% crit from gear and traits on my character. I attempted to put a sigil of accuracy into my weapon for more crit, but received no extra crit. Boons can push me over 50% crit, but currently that’s the only way I can move over that gap.

Is there a soft 50% crit cap?

Crit % seems too low

I’m currently sitting at 50% from gear and it appears to be a soft cap. I tried putting a sigil of accuracy in my rifle and received no extra critical hit chance. I expected 55%, but I’m still sitting at 50%.

Crash/Black Screen Issue (NVIDIA)

I decided I had enough crashes and I’m now going through an RMA with EVGA. My GTX 570 had no problems with any other games, but maybe that was the problem. Either way I got fed up with not being able to play GW2. Constant crashes (which only happened in GW2) since BWE1 have me at wit’s end.

Now I’m playing on a GTS 450 that barely plays the game. I’m not crashing anymore, but “playing” isn’t exactly fun.

Lets see your engineers!

Versoconjouring Waypoint

I’ve been swimming around Malchor’s Leap for about 4 hours now. For the life of me I cannot figure out how to get Versoconjouring Waypoint to complete the zone. If anyone could help me with one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had in a videogame I’d really appreciate it!

I set up a custom fan profile thinking it may just be temperatures and I’m crazy. Nope, kept some very aggressive settings and made sure to stay under 60c consistently, but it still crashed.

After an hour of grueling clearing in CoE only to crash in the cutscene after the boss and lose all credit for the instance I’m done with this game. Completely silent about the issue that’s been happening since BWE1.

If you’re having the computer lockup with colored screens and stuck sound, the fix for this is to downclock your graphics card by 10-20%. That will stop the crashing. (This crash has been around since closed beta and is believed to be an nVidia issue which may or may not be fixed in a future driver update. ANet has been almost completely silent on the issue.)

This is pretty much my major issue. In addition to the colored screen lockups I do get driver crashes as well. Downclocking my graphics card helps a bit, but it’s quite a hassle to do. This is an incredibly annoying issue to have and severely limits my ability to play. I currently cannot do dungeons or WvW (due to the queue).

As an AT&T Uverse subscriber my modem has a router built into it so this solution isn’t feasibly implemented. I hope Anet continues looking into this problem.

It appears that the LGA switch is already enabled for GW2 while on Win7 64bit.

The issues happen completely randomly and consistently to me. It’s happened since BWE1 and it’s incredibly annoying. All drivers from 296 to the latest beta drivers crash the game. It doesn’t matter where I am or what I’m doing. I could be in Honor of the Waves or Lion’s Arch trading post. Drivers will either crash or I’ll get a hard lock-up.

Temps are generally between 51c and 59c. Graphics settings don’t usually matter. The game will crash highest or lowest settings on fullscreen or windowed.

C2Q 9650, 8GB, SSD, GTX 570 Superclocked

*Note: it did seem way worse in Honor of the Waves. I could not complete this instance due to the frequency of the crashes. Approximately twice per pull I would get a hard lockup in this instance.

Bosses and Mobs in Arah are completely invisible

What I can only explain as my spirit body entering the instance, I found mobs in Arah completely invisible for the first third of the instance.

My party was fighting some sort of boss in that screenshot. I could see my party and any friendly NPCs in the instance. Other than that I was unable to interact with anything in the instance. It seemed perfectly fine after we got to the airship portion of the dungeon.

Crashing

I crash every couple of minutes while playing.

The crash log was too large to post (heh) so I added it as an attachment.

Basics: C2Q 9650 3ghz, 8GB, SSD, GTX 570

I play every other game just fine with no hiccups including EVE Online with over 3000 people on screen, APB (the most horrifically optimized game in history), and just about anything else. I thought it might be my temperatures but I’ve never seen them go above 59c while playing. The quality of graphics I use doesn’t matter at all. Whether highest settings or lowest GW2 will crash.

I have an issue similar to this except my whole computer will freeze whenever it looks like your second screenshot. I have an EVGA 570 as well.

The freezing is so bad I’ve quit playing GW2 entirely.
