Golden Airship broke in Gendaren Fields.

Just ported to the ship and DCed, logging back in the crafting NPCs are not there, just the stations, all the others are.

Zoned out and back in, still not there.

Some have found ways to kill them from what I believe I’ve seen. Haven’t been able to record it though. A fix will be around soon. Temp solution is taking the airship to LA and using the crafting merchants there until ANet finds a solve.

To provide more information. This is done by using the Captain’s Airship pass while on the airship. The NPCs become combat targets you can attack. Melee hits nudge them and I’ve seen people moving them up to the banker.

In addition, if you engage in combat with them, all waypoints in the zone become contested forcing you to zone out be it waypoint or walking.

Going to record a video for further detail.

My voice is low in the video but it shows the exact bug nonetheless.

Dramatic FPS drop on high end machine

Gotcha.

I also just switched my SSD to AHCI from IDE.

Deleted the file and started up the game. 60 FPS 1920×1080 now but my nVidia surround play is stuck at a crap resolution. :\

ALSO! V-sync was limiting me to 40FPS instead of 60 despite me having 60+ FPS steadily. Decided to just limit FPS to 60. Hope more improvements happen.

E: Also! Thanks for the fast reply!

First delete / rename your local.dat if this doesn’t help make a screenshot with
GW2 running in the back and GPU-z and CPU-z in front like this :

I had that the first time yesterday after i changed my SSD from IDE to AHCI mode,
however my second account worked fine so i just copied the local.dat from that
account to my first and changed the login data there.

Where is the local.dat file? I’d like to give this a shot.

Windows 10 massive performance loss!

Wanted to chime in as well.

Computer Specs
GPU – 2x EVGA GTX670 4GB SCed | CPU – i7930@3.8GHz | MoBo – ASUS Rampage III Extreme | 12GB Corsair Dominator GT | Display – 3x ASUS VE258 25" 1920×1080@60hz | OS – Win 10 x64 | Sound – ASUS Xonar DG 5.1

Prior to my Win10 update I was netting 45+ FPS on nVidia surround, that’s now down to 15 max. Using 1920×1080 puts me at 45 max with some input delay and occasional frame drops to 15FPS.

No sense in rolling back to Win7 until this is fixed and going forward is now a waiting game to have it resolved.

Edit: The game is installed on my Samsung 840 EVO drive w/ TRIM enabled (240GB)

There’s nothing wrong with my system, thank you.

The game reaches 3.5GB RAM usage (highest settings, 2560×1440), during large zergs, and the game crashes. That’s an issue with the game, not my PC.

Except that it clearly doesn’t happen for everyone else. If it was indeed an issue with the game, it would happen to everyone. I for one have never crashed during any world boss fight.

It could simply be a memory leak in the driver for the GPU as well. I believe this is a current issue with my client constantly locking up my computer. It started in high density zones then became more apparent in empty areas. When I switch from 6040×1080 down to 1920×1080 this isn’t an issue anymore. So if only some players are experiencing this, it could be a video driver issue. I also weigh this option because of the recent release of Win10 and the driver release to make current GPUs ‘compatible’. Perhaps in the process something got borked for this game?

Why doesn’t OP just post the laptop specs first before we go pointing fingers back and forth about false and unsupported accusations?

Laptops have decent computing power and maybe OP actually bought one, but the fact he posted in a technical forum with zero technical information about his problem suggests otherwise. Or he’s an airhead and was told it can run anything.

So OP, deliver your laptop specs and we’ll go further.

3. I can understand it being useful for a game such as SC2 because it’s 100% dire to see what’s going on in front of you 24/7 but that’s not the case with GW2.

Dude… right click and drag your mouse. It adjust the camera angle manually until you find a decent spot where it pans out. If that doesn’t work, then simply use a ranged attack and keep rotating your character until the shot doesn’t hit a wall…

Dude :-) I know how to rotate a camera. :-))))
You can keep moving the camera as much as you want, it won’t budge if it’s stuck.
Yes, I can move my char, but without any visual feedback, I’m only guessing.

Meh, I guess it’s just because I don’t have this issue.

Loot chests for completing a DE

in Suggestions

Posted by: Victus.9631

Victus.9631

I’m not suggesting gear (although a chance to get a nice piece of gear would be cool too). More like random things, like those tiny loot bags with crafting materials, an onion or two, whatever… If you’ve played Rift you will understand what I mean.

I’m not saying I want to amazing loot – just something!

It’d be a cool feeling to get a reward in the form of a chest with a few items for doing a DE… I spent about 10 minutes doing a DE involving killing a troll with a group of people and the troll didn’t even have any loot on him after we downed him. Just got the usual karma, coins and Xp.

Thank you for suggesting I’m crazy, but I’m entitled to suggest things just like every other player who’s posted in this sub-forum!

1. Never said you’re not allowed to post a suggestion. I simply suggested your suggestion was crazy.
2. Karma / XP / Some coin for killing a ‘NM’ notorious monster is 100% balanced. It yields more exp and coin than any other regular monsters and the karma is a nice bonus.
3. It seems there are 3-4 tiers of DE.
- Go kill monster(s)
- Defend / Attack a camp to gain waypoint access
- Chain Events leading up to medium/difficult boss sometimes yielding chest rewards
- Chain Events leading up to super hard boss yielding chest rewards fairly nice loot

Use your mouse to adjust camera angle? Lock the camera behind your character and hit the ‘rotate’ key bind?

Hmm either we have very different options configuration or you don’t understand the point.
The camera is STUCK.
STUCK = I CAN’T MOVE IT.
First I have to MOVE THE CHARACTER before being able to MOVE THE CAMERA.
Hope it’s clear now.

It’s a bother because you want your character to look like how you want them to look. In game you can hide the helm and shoulders, there’s no reason why that shouldn’t carry forward to the character selection screen.

Why is this simple suggestion getting so much flak?

Because it’s so unnecessary right now compared to other things that need to be done to this game…

Show Target's Target.

Posted by: Victus.9631

Victus.9631

First off.. this was around well before Aion. Secondly, rather than doing ‘targets target’ a much more useful tool is to have a key (when pressed) show surrounding ally HP. This is because there are AoE attacks or DoTs that someone could have that take them from critical health to death. Being able to momentarily see everyones health would indicate the status of not just one person but everyone around you. This allows you to preemptively head in their direction and raise them when they fall rather than delaying it by moving to them after they’ve fallen.

Add New End-Game Content

Have you completed each races story?
Have you leveled to 80?
100% completion of the world?
All crafts leveled to 400?
Completed all dungeons in all modes?
Obtained every achievement?

Regardless of your answer, the game isn’t even a month old. How about you chill the **** out and take time to enjoy the game instead of burning through it? Remember that article about the first 80 before the game was technically even released? They made mention of enjoying the lustrous storyline this game has to offer rather than just mindlessly blowing through content not getting anything from it.

A perfect comparison is sex. If you just jump right in and finish it ASAP it’s a horrible experience with no real joy. But if you take your time, work your way into it smoothly and do everything you can do before finishing, the end result is nothing but amazing.

TL;DR – You’re a joke for suggesting in game content not even a month after release while there are still many bugs with the game that need to be resolved first before moving on content wise. It’s people like you who ruin games demanding there be content left and right. Then when you finish that content in a week or two you demand more content. Simply put, kitten you.

Loot chests for completing a DE

in Suggestions

Posted by: Victus.9631

Victus.9631

There are already DEs that yield chests with good rewards. If you’re suggesting they add chests for every DE, you’re mad ( as in crazy ). There are already numerous ways to gain solid gear for your character. Story progression, karma vendors, and most importantly the trading post. Story progression gives gear that is decent (provided you’re fairly on level), same thing with karma vendors after completing the quest. If you really want some solid gear, the trading post has many valuable items for a fair price.

A Special Thanks to ArenaNet For the Media Packages

in Community Creations

Posted by: Victus.9631

Victus.9631

This is the first time I can recall where high resolution and high quality assets were released for public use for various forms of media. I just finally took a look into what they offered in their HD assets zip file and I’m astounded at the contents.

As a designer who enjoys generating game content based artwork, having these assets really helps push the overall quality of the pieces. Videos now have opening high resolution slides for 1080p captures of both the Guild Wars 2 and ArenaNet brand marks. Screenshots and 1080p wallpapers now have crisp watermarks to add.

With this great offer from ArenaNet, I must say this though. We must not abuse the privilege they have given us in trusting us with their content. ArenaNet has lead the way in this category and maybe soon other developers will soon follow. All media content published on the internet can be of grand quality and the awareness created from it will be incalculable.

So on behalf of this generous gesture, I (we) thank you. Expect some fine content coming soon.
