Guild Wars 2

Ok so, i noticed something strange.
This is another screenshoot taken some minutes later without changing a thing.
As you can notice it says that cpu is operating at 3.8ghz (more or less).
The thing i noticed is that the cpu seems to go from 1.5-6ghz to 3.5-6-8ghz incostantly without an apparent motive.
That could explain why in some areas i go from 60 fps to 20-30fps even if there’s nothing “heavy” on screen.
I checked temperatures too, and they never go beyond 50-55 celsius degrees, that should be ok am i right?
I also checked settings in windows (i’m on win10) and the power saving option is set to max performance.
Maybe something’s wrong in the bios at this point :S

Have you cleaned your CPU Heatsink since you built the PC years ago?

Yes i clean it once a month.

Common problem is that the GPU not uses all 16 PCIe lanes, reseating the card mostly
helps. Please post a screenshot like this :

Hi!
Here’s the pic, tell me if you notice something strange plz.
Seems all ok to me though.

So you bought an overclocking CPU, and then got a motherboard that is incapable of overclocking?

Okay. o.o’

Unfortunatly as i already said, i assembled this PC some years ago and at the time i didn’t know anything about components and overclock, my fault.
However i should be able to play this game pretty well with stock frequencies, but seems like something’s wrong.

Hi and thanks for the reply!!
Unfortunaly at the time i assembled this PC, i didn’t know much about components etc… and i took a motherboard that limits overclock, so i can’t overclock it at more than 3.8ghz.
My VGA on the other hand has an overclock applied on his own, but i heard that this game is very cpu-based so i don’t think it will change so much.
I also play on a normal hdd 7200rpm.
However reading the system requirements of this game, i should be able to play it at costant 60fps with at least medium-high setting in theory, but it’s not like that unfortunatly.

Hi guys!
So, this is my PC:
VGA: R9 290 Tri-X OC
CPU: i5 3570k 3.40ghz
RAM: 8GB DDR3 1333mhz
That should be more than enough to play the game at stable 60 fps right?
I can’t have 60 stable fps anywhere even with all settings to low (also, i noticed that from low to high details, almost nothing changes in terms of fps).
There’s a problem with AMD VGA or it’s something else?
I searched everywhere and a lot of users experience low fps, but i didn’t find a solution yet.
Hope you can help me out!

Hi guys!
So, i put it simple and short: there’s a way to get a lot of geodes without spending too much time?
I need a lot of them to buy recipes.

Thanks for the answers guys!
I really appreciate them.
Now i wonder, how much money it will cost raise weaponsmith to 500.

Hi guys!
So, i just started noticing, how much professions are important in this game.
Actually, i have a lvl 80 thief, but i never leveled up a profession.
The problem is… i’m very, very, very lazy.
So, i saw that i can level up professions simply buying mats at the auction house.
My question is: how much it will cost?
I wanna level up to 500 weaponsmith only, for now.
If you have a good guide to suggest me, i would really appreciate it!

Thanks a lot for the infos!!
So, unfortunately i can’t see which specific area i’m missing, but at least, now i know where to look.
It’s gonna take a looooong time

Thanks for the answer.
However, the problem is that i have the world medal, wich means that i’ve explored all the areas in the world.
If i look at each zone of the world, the game says: 100% complete.
Maybe i didn’t explored an area in a dungeon?
I entered ascalon catacombs and cof to see if i’ve missed something, but, apparently, seems i’ve explored all in there too.

Hi guys!
So, i noticed that i’m near to finish almost all of the explorer achievements, like “Ascalon Explorer”.
I’ve already explored all the world areas, but it always says that i miss one place to explore.
How can i find out which place i’m missing?

Thanks again for the suggestions guys!
In the end, i think i will try out Elementalist and Guardian.

Once u go War, u’ll never go back!

Alot of people start with War. It’s extremely boring.

OP.. .. which to class do you hate going up against, the most in WvW? play that one

I must say that i don’t feel uncomfortable against any class in WvW.
With thief, more or less, i can face any situation.
I made this thread more for the PvE part of the game, because some guild mate said that the thief it’s not so good in PvE and, unfortunatly, i have to agree.
However, i will use the new character in WvW too.

Hi guys!
So, i play Thief from a long time (since the game comes out actually) and i wanna try also a new class.
I discussed about this argument with a guild mate and we ended up choosing between these classes: Mesmer, Guardian, Warrior, Elementalist.
This character will mainly be used for PvE/WvW purposes.
So, what do you think which could be a good choice and why?

Thanks again for the help.
I see this game has a very good community on his shoulders!
However, i really love D/D in both PvE and PvP.
Can you give me a D/D specific build for PvP and PvE usage?
Actually i’m playing this build, made by me: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fZAQNAoYVlsMp7pdOx8J0PNxOBtdtDwE4+EjoDetEA
It protects me a little more than normal, but it’s not very good in DPS.
Also, i would like to know your way to play Thief in PvE.
I usally end up using mostly Cloak and Dagger + Normal attacks.
I’m trying to make a good crit build with a good survivability.

PS: However i will surely try out the S/P build you guys suggested!

Thanks for the answer.
So, the best way to play is using D/D in PvP/WvW and S/P in PvE?
I would like to have had the possibility to play D/D in PvE, but seems like it’s not so efficient.
Too bad
So, can you suggest me a good S/P build for PvE?

PS: However, my major problem, is to survive in PvE.
Most of the times i receive attacks that takes me 2/3 or 1/3 of the health away in one hit.
Seems strange to me.

Hi!
So, i explain my problem in few words: the game runs perfectly while playing on my server, but starts to lag in WvW.
By “lag” i mean internet lag, not hardware related lag.
I have 60+ fps in WvW, so i don’t think the hardware it’s the problem.
What can i do to make my WvW games less laggy?

Hi guys!
So, i came back after 1-2 months and i noticed a few changes to the thief.
Actually, i noticed that it seems like it is more vulnerable than other classes in PvE and it’s not so good in WvW.
I’m playing a Dagger/Dagger build, but i’m not talking about damage, but about survivability.
I have a build that gave me a lot more survivability than normal, but still, it takes too much damages from dungeon mobs/bosses.
Sure, i have a lot of stealth skills etc… but still, in some situations, i can’t survive where others can.
However i didn’t made this post to wine, so tell me: what do you think about the thief right now?
It is a “competitive” class in both PvE and WvW/PvP in your opinion?

I’m ok with the thief right now, but ineed he needs some buffs.

Thanks again for the answers!

Thanks again for the answer.
I finally found a group for CoF, and the run goes pretty well.
I have only some questions about Dungeons in general:
1. I will always get the reward at the end of the dungeon, or there’s some sort of ID like WoW?
2. I can get the reward of the dungeon daily?

Thanks for the answer!
My problem now, is that i can’t find a group to do this dungeon….
Actually, i have never done a dungeon and i should do lvl 1 dungeons, but people do lvl 22 dungeons and more.
Actually, i don’t know really well what a dungeon lvl means.

Sorry man, but i did not open this topic to flame on it, i’m just looking for answers, and by the way this is my first character, i didn’t make it because it’s op or something like that.
I play thief in EVERY game.

Hi guys!
I recently hitted the lvl 80, and i wanna make a crit-dual daggers thief.
Essentially i will use this character for pve, but i would try WvWvW too.
My question is: where i can buy a good crit armor for my thief?
And how can i reach Orr?
