Guild Wars 2

My Necromancer use Female Face #4 (my favorite)
My Ranger use Female Face #2

Same with Sorrow’s Embrace
I get the Entre Explorable but nothing happens.

Relog = same
Reform party = same
Quit party, relog, reform party= same

And when I can finally go in, I only have a limited party window:
Can only see 1 person in the party for me, while the others see full party.
I can see party message though

Was saving to buy some salvage kits, but it seems that apart from that stealth flash sale they are never going to be on sale.
For the last day we get…revive orbs
…sigh

Squall Leonhart.2075:

Tyrilha.3087:

you can lower down the shader slide to mediuml or low. Flashing textures will be 80% gone

Nope, not in my tests

only 2 things removed the flashing, Fullscreen Window, and 30fps frame cap.

And I don’t see any confirmation its specifically a driver 310 issue, many forums assume as such, but fail to note that a major gw2 patch landed around the same time.

Flashing textures appeared with 310.33 drivers, released late October
Every new driver of 310 branch cause same flashing textures issue.
Reverting to previous drivers (306.xx) fix this.

Looks like a guilty driver
(but of course, not excluding other possibilities)

This is a well known bug of Nvidia Drivers 310.xx branch
Many posts here (maybe Admins should merge and pin them)
Only true fix is to revert to older drivers (like 306.97 whql)

If you really need 310.xx for some other games, you can lower down the shader slide to mediuml or low. Flashing textures will be 80% gone

It’s a Nvidia driver issue.
It appears with 310.xx branch and the only way I have found to fix it fully atm is to revert back to 306.97.
(You can also try to put shaders slider on medium, but you loose wat too much and it’s not a proper 100% fix-it-all)
From the 310.90 thread it seems those don’t fix the problem either.

Time for all of us who experience that issue to massively report it to Nvidia

I’m glad in a way I’m not the only one experiencing that bug.
Which can make you go ç_ç after a while, especially whith those flashing bridge.
I think I have found a workaround:
In Graphic Options, lower down Shader from High to Medium, or even Low.

Et voilà, flashing textures gone.

hopefully ArenaNet or Nvidia will fix that soon
OS Win8 x64/Nvidia GTX560Ti / Driver 310.70

Phew !
I wasn’t dreaming then…
Those guys have such nice rifle that my engineer is jealous.

Nice patch anyway:
My mesmer is 90% useless because phantasm have a little break before doing their work.
My Necro has been transformed into a volleyballl by bandits.

But it could be worse, some diving goggles could have gone missing

Wow !
As much as I’m annoyed by the new tier, when I think about Fractal of the Mists I want to say:

° ° ° Thank very much you Arena Net ! ° ° °

and congratulation to the “twisted minds” that designed the fractals ;p

We had not too much problem with the swamp.
We were 2 guardians, 1 thief, 1 ranger and a mesmer (me)
I put portal to help the team member that was the further away from the poles while the others members used speed boost. We also assigned pole to wisp bearer so no confusion about which one to go for .
Et voilà, we made it just in time but we made it

We will not be adding a new tier of gear every 3 months that we expect everyone to chase after and then get the next set and so on.

How to sound reassuring but not being so.
The fact that they said every 3 months doesn’t mean they are not going to do it in 6…9…12 months

I’m very pessimistic about how GW2 will look in a year or two.
What’s next on the menu ?
Level Cap raised to 90 in future paid expansion(s) ?
After all, once you break your own Golden Rules, the worse can be expected.

Pleas prove me wrong Arena Net

I think someone from Arena Net needs to do some PR damage control and explain:

• What are those ascended armors ?
• Why are they more powerful than Exotic ?
• Is the buff dedicated to the Fractal of the Mist or permanent ?
• Same about the infusion slot

The way it was announced make 98% of us feels it’s a direct betrayal of the “GuildWars 2 Manifesto” and “The Golden Rules of Guild Wars 2”

and that was my 2 cents

Happens to me too
Most recent was yesterday during the battle vs The Claw of Jormag.

One thing I’ve noticed.
The “EarCheck Sound Crash” seems to occurs when there is a hudge number of player on the map:
Dragon events
Zerg train in WvWvW

Updated my Xonar DX to their new Win8 drivers.
Will see if it helps

Left: My favorite armor from the first games.
Right What I thought was a cool design refresh, new but in touch with original.
You can imagine how disappointed I was when I couldn’t find that armor ingame.
(also I can imagine the frustration of the artist that did a good job but was scratched from release).
Hence the topic title
Unless of course it is really, I mean really, time I have my eyes checked.

Please please dear Annette, can I have it ?

PS: L-I-G-H-T armor

Woah !
I didn’t realize I was that powerfull in PVE that I needed to be hit smashed with Nerf Hammer. (seems also we are the only one with such a nerf in this patch)

I thought Annette has learned their lesson with GW1.
Why not bringing back the PvP versions of skills ?
Easy to balance one side of the game without obliterating the other one.
But, that would be a smart move…

I agree
I miss the Domination (I thought this made the mesmer a really orginal class)
I liked to suppress and shutdown my opponent:
Attack you loose health (Empathy <3) – Don’t attack you loose health too (Wastrel’s_Worry)

Clones and phantasm are cool and there is lot of inovative gameplay, but it feels like someone forgot to put the ganache on a mudcake:
It’s ok, but surely not the same.

Personnal story is hard
Very hard indeed when you think it’s a part of the game that’s supposed to be done solo.
Support NPC do nothing except aggro mobs on you and then faint, leaving you alone to save the day.
What I don’t like about them is that feel more like a chore than something Epic.
(well at least till
The RingMaster:
Glad you balanced that one, cause it was boring to run around the place for 15min
casting Chaos Storm and Phase Retreat.

The Queen’s Justice:
Support NPC: all dead in first 2 min
I passed it jumping from one side of the throne to the corner of the room (the mobs don’t jump and go back and around) and killing them one by one.
Was it doable ? Yes
Was it Fun ? Hell NO !

Would be nice to have an option to turn spell effect off, so we can see what’s going on during Boss Fights

Dear Annette,
One suggestion for next chapter/extension/story/etc…
You could give us 3 answers to choose from so it would it feel more like “our” story rather than the story you design for us.
Something along the 3 choices we have when talking to Npc Charm/Dignity/Fear.

Of course I understand it woukd mean 3x more line to write, 3x more voice time to pay for.
Anyway, that’s my 2 cents
