Guild Wars 2

They’ve stated that farming this way is allowed so long as you’re still at the computer and can respond to messages. Once you step away from the computer and leave your character logged in and collecting goods it becomes disallowed.

I want to second this. It’s very frustrating that in every other part of the game if you’re defeated a friend can revive you.

I agree that there should be some mechanic that prevents people from zerging the boss and overpowering through sheer numbers, but to completely lock me out while party members complete the battle is silly.

Give me a timer, make me do a jumping puzzle to get back to the battlefield, make me have to fight a veteran. Anything but lock me out of a fight for the duration.

Loved the tempest and reaper and had fun with the dragon hunter. My feedback with those classes would be:

-Tempest: the shouts seemed to be selective about applying auras to allies. They only did this about half of the time.

-Reaper: lots of fun, my main critique would be that reaper’s shroud skill 2 sends you charging forward, regardless of what you have targeted. Several times I’d click on an enemy that was moving and completely miss it because it had gone sideways a bit.

-Dragon hunter: I’d really like the ability to ground target traps, even if I have to use a trait selection in the build to do it. I wasn’t really sure how I was supposed to play this build… Having a longbow made me think I’m supposed to be mid/far range, but all the new skills are close range. Was immersion breaking to shoot a few shots from range, run up and lay some traps, then run back away to shoot some more.

This happens to me fairly regularly since the September patch. After a few seconds the client will freeze and require a force quit whether I’m in the login screen or have made it to the character select. Deleting the program files folder doesn’t help, restarting or shutting down my Mac doesn’t help, resetting the PRAM doesn’t help.

It usually fixes itself after 30 mins or an hour, but still has me extremely close to uninstalling the game and finding something that supports the Mac platform better.

After yesterday’s update my client crashes about five seconds after launching.

I’m running 10.9.4 on a mid 2010 MacBook Pro.
2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
8GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 288 MB

I’ve attached the error I’m getting. It’s happened several times in a row, both if I immediately try to log into a character or if I wait at the character select screen for it to fully load. It’s happened on multiple characters too.

I’ve had this issue for a while. The client for whatever reason reverts to the desktop gamma settings within the game. I usually have it happen when I open the TP, but it’s happened other times too. Alternately, a couple of times when the game has crashed I was sent to my desktop with in-game gamma settings running, making the desktop washed out.

The easiest fix is to open your graphics settings and click your gamma up and down once.

When you’re aboard the Captain’s Airship if you talk with the helmsman to take you to Black Citadel it instead takes you to Lion’s Arch. This seems to be the only city that’s affected in such a way. It’s not a huge deal, but it’s inconvenient to have to go through additional loading screens.

It looks like custom soundtracks are still unavailable on the Mac client. I tried creating relevant .m3u playlists of .mp3 files for a few categories, but none would play.

Previous posts said to place the playlist files in /Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Guild Wars 2/p_drive/User/Application Data/Guild Wars 2 in the Music folder. Upon accessing the second Guild Wars 2 folder I saw that there was no Music folder and, unsurprisingly, creating one and putting the playlists in there didn’t work.

I’ve attached a screenshot of my system report, but it seems like it’s not likely an issue I’m alone in experiencing.

Is it possible to get an invite sent to YOUNGtheslayer.6547? I’m friends with Maethor and Therapite.

Thanks!
