Black Screen of Death

I didn’t get a black screen until I had the boss fight with Modrem Vinetooth in HoT.
I fought him 15 times and every time got the black screen.
I figured it was probably a video issue because my windows event logged showed an nvidia driver problem event.

Since I have an Nvidia card, I used the Nvidia GeForce Experience Games optimization option.
Nvidia apparently has GW2 for a game optimization option and it shows what video settings it will turn down/off.
I clicked optimize and no more black screen but the game isn’t as crisp as it was before but maybe it isn’t supposed to be with the old 560 Ti card I have.

And what the heck is up with stealth and the free finishing move? You can’t even see the person that finishes you or even target them to use your special knocked down moves. It is already bad enough when someone has quickness on and can finish you in a blink of the eye but this stealth finisher is just plain bogus.

O well. I can only hope they fix this stuff before I move on.

This is exactly what is happening and a really stupid mechanic. Hitting them in stealth doesn’t even break stealth and this game is one of the first I have ever seen where there is no stealth detection.

I came to the forums to see if there was anything regarding the freezing I am getting inconsistently when moving to waypoints in Eternal Battlegrounds. Game was working just fine before the last couple of patches with the expansion.

Anyways, I have seen the same issues with WvW. Mesmer portaling is just ridiculous. Thief’s can hold off a 30 man zerg preventing a camp from capping. The way the stealth mechanic is implemented is just plain stupid in my opinion. PvP in any game is always hard to balance. Just wish some things that seem so obvious would be fixed but whatever. I knew WvW was a joke when I encountered my first Stonemist siege where all 3 sides were in the castle. Talk about server side skill lag. Wasn’t even surprised with the rendering issue and exploiting that with the totally bogus portaling. World style PvP is still a distant dream it seems.
