Guild Wars 2

Character: Ahzalea

Doing a jumping puzzle and having a Charr/Norn all up in your screen can cause a few problems. These problems have gotten much worse with the addition of the Black Feather Wings backpack. There have been players trolling others by enabling the backpiece while on a max size Charr to obscure other peoples’ characters.

There is currently no way to disable their backpiece from blocking your view but the Character Model Quality on lowest did previously help a lot in adjusting the sizes of characters as well as culling out their gear.

Allowing the character model quality option to cull out all backpacks on lowest would make it even more useful in avoiding problems like this in jumping puzzles.
(Adding an option to hide all backpacks would be nice as well + apologies if this has been mentioned before)

Hamfast.8719:

At the very VERY least, they should turn the Town Clothing that we were originally given at character creation into Outfits. This one basic Outfit should then be available for free in the Gem Store. (Call it “Cultural Outfit” or something like that. Of course they aren’t going to make a Sylvari style Outfit for an Asura.)

But yes, I would love to see all of the Town Clothes Tonics turned into Outfits. The Tonics are totally useless, and I’d even put up with the ugly combination they created just to be able to wear my GW2 Dragon Logo T-Shirt again.

The dragon t-shirt is treated similarly to the town clothes. I had to convert it into a tonic by speaking to the black lion armorsmith. The shirt is now attached to the shorts and town clothes shoes…everything is undyeable…/shudders @ the shoes

sMihaly.1492:

Or… maybe all tonics should be useable as Outfits, but some are limited to PvE?

edit:
some = tonics which change your race

I think transform tonics (turning you into a creature), should actually have a separate tab in wardrobe with a gallery of tonics similar to finishers.

Zelanard.5806:

I like this… Of course, either they would have to make “Cultural” and “Armor type” outfits… or they would have to make all animations fit all armors and all armors fit all races xD

I think the default race clothing should fall under “Cultural” outfits.
If you look at the way the sylvari town clothes attaches to the character, it would be peculiar to see it on the other races imo. I also like the idea of keeping it special to each race (like the cultural armor) and requiring one of each race to unlock them.

I was sorting out my bank today and I came across multiple town clothes tonics.
These are taking up a slot as well as being undyeable now. It would be great if they were turned into outfits. We already have outfits that look like they provide no defense, so why not town clothes?

They would then be easier to use/access, dyeable and wouldn’t take up space. Please make it happen~
(I don’t know if this has been mentioned before since the forum search function didn’t show any previous posts about it)

I interpreted drunken love poem as a love poem a Norn could sing while drunk in a homestead, possibly in front of a fire and to the amusement of her peers.
————————————-
On my mind during nights dark and cold
with plenty of help from a drink:
Dewy with beer, fabulous and bold,
With his aura of fuzzy pink.

Divinity’s Reach might not long for his beard,
They still have Lord Faren, whoopee.
Nothing better than the scent of him beer-smeared,
All of Hoelbrak would surely agree.

Always helpful almost to a fault,
His name is known all across the Glade.
Never seen without some single malt,
A sight of beauty for this Norn maid:

Even if you are never mine
And I never win your heart,
No body odor,puke or fart
Shall ever keep us apart.

Number 13 please ^^

I’m so glad I managed to attend the event this year
It was great fun <3 A huge thank you to the staff and everyone who attended ^^

Number 58 please
Thanks for organizing another great event!

Midnight Fire can sometimes appear that dark.

KINGRPG.3492:

I opened Dry Top chest more than 100 times in this week! I haven’t got it yet!!!

I was in the same situation. There is a guaranteed way to get a fossil by completing the pvp Maguuma Wastes reward track which also gives geodes,sand, keys etc.

Try using the LFG tool to find a taxi and get into a good instance

Archeage graphics are pretty good imo, cryengine has awesome lighting and water effects. The textures can be buggy and low res in certain areas but overall it is a very pretty game.
I still prefer guild wars 2 graphics though since it seems that the devs paid more attention to the environment and I use a really nice SweetFX preset.

I actually love that GW2 has an economist working for them.
I’ve played games where the inflation was so out of control that you’d have to spend weeks upon weeks grinding to get any decent gear while not being able to afford anything on a fresh account. Inflation in an online game is to be expected but hyper inflation really kills the enjoyment in playing so I think having a ‘healthy economy’ is the lesser of the two evils.

I would also prefer more skins in the game rather than in the gemstore, it isn’t a deal-breaker for me though since I am not in a rush to get all the skins in the game. I do wonder why they chose to add crafting backpacks rather than new armour though since I’m quite sure people would have been more pleased with new armour. I have so many backpacks already…

I agree that anet should work on more dungeons, perhaps not quite as large as the aetherblade path since that took up too many resources. Regardless of any new dungeons or how far down the road SAB will come back, I will probably continue playing.

As others have noted, there is a potential in Guild Wars 2 that I don’t see in other games and even though this feature pack was a bit of a flop imo, I have faith that arenanet will learn and improve. They’ve already proven that they can with how season 2 compares to season 1.

TLDR: Economist = good. Gemstore only skins = meh. More dungeons = yes please
Giving up = nowai !

Haha…I finally found the problem.
It was a compatibility mode setting I had enabled.
I simply disabled it and let it run in the default Windows 7 mode = success.

Thanks for all your help, Johan Skold and everyone else who contributed to this thread.

The website said “You do not have a proxy server or filtered internet activated.”
Yes, I use Bitdefender Total Security.

I’ve been testing deleting the bin folder and trying to launch the game for around 3 minutes before starting again. It takes around 30~ tries to get a successful launch.
The whole thing seems very random since I managed to successfully enter the game world again just now.

Edit: I whitelisted the bin folder and it made no difference. I’ll try the entire Guild Wars 2 folder as well.

After deleting the bin once more and trying to launch it several times, it finally launched. I logged into the game and played around a bit but I did not open the trading post. It seemed fairly stable so I logged out to test it and once again, it refuses to launch.

If I let it idle for a few minutes while being frozen in the task bar it does not transfer any data over the internet and its memory usage in the task manager remains the same. I’m not sure how long it could stay like that, I usually close it after around 10 minutes max.

I see the windows crash dialogue when it wont even launch to the ‘initializing’ screen.
I see the guild wars 2 crash dialogue when it manages to get to character select screen but crashes before entering the world.
I see no crash dialogue when it just hangs in the task bar.

Yes it is still refusing to launch even after deleting the bin folder and relaunching.

I tried patching an older version of Guild Wars 2 and it launched and let me log into the game world but as soon as I logged out and tried to relaunch it, it went back to the ‘initializing’ + freezing in the taskbar with no launcher in sight.

After the hotfix on 12 September 2014 the launcher hangs in the taskbar after reaching the ‘Initializing’ screen.

Before the hotfix my game would load to character select but wouldn’t let me enter the world due to crashing with errors ‘Code= 10:5:11:2462:101’ and ‘Code= 7:11:3:191:101’.

My brother suggested I update .NET framework to try and fix it, it might be helpful for others but it made no difference for me.

My game now loads to character select but won’t let me enter the world due to crashing with errors ‘Code= 10:5:11:2462:101’ and ‘Code= 7:11:3:191:101’. After trying to login around 5 times the launcher will hang in the taskbar after reaching the ‘Initializing’ screen.

Edit: I successfully logged in using my brother’s pc (windows 8.1), so I don’t think it is an account issue.

I just realised that when I am in the character select screen all the stats in the top right are 0, including achievement points.

I still can’t enter the world.

Now I am getting a new error code upon trying to enter the world, it seems that the login server is booting me.

Code= 10:5:11:2462:101

I tried to log in after the patch and this time my launcher didn’t hang.
It took me to character select and them promptly disconnected me when I tried to enter the world.

Error code= 7:11:3:191:101

Edit: When I tried to relaunch the game, the launcher now hangs and stays in the taskbar after the ‘initializing’ screen.

I’ve tried:
Unchecking the Lan settings
Clearing appdata Gw2 folder
Using -email -password -nopatchui
Using -windowed
Running it as administrator
Disabling my antivirus and firewall
Changing to 32-bit Truecolour
Making a copy of the GW2 folder and running that
Using -prefreset and hiding the ui (ctrl+shift+h) when trying to login
Using my brother’s gw2 copy that works fine on his pc. When I launched it on my pc, it took me to the character select screen and immediately crashed when I tried to enter the world.

Yesterday the -prefreset fix worked after the bug fix patch they did but this morning when I tried to play, nothing works.
Nothing at aaaalll Please fix this Anet.

Edit: I am using Win 7 64 bit Ultimate edition and AMD Radeon HD 6870 graphics card

I don’t think this content was overly hard, it felt like the right amount of difficulty for me.
I did all the other bosses in one try and after two days of trying to kill her ( around 40 tickets and lots of raging at my necro), I’ve finally done it
It was frustrating up until I realized that there indeed was a pattern to her attacks. Anyway I enjoyed this content, best living story patch for me yet <3
Thanks anet !

Wow I’ve been looking everywhere for something like this.
The notification feature is spot on.
Thanks a lot

Arkham Creed.7358:

After reading the new blog, and holding my tongue on the subject until it was released, I have come a conclusion; I’m okay with this. There is one very important reason why; no upgrade slots.

You’re basically trading versatility for protection from a dungeon specific mechanic and a slight boost in base power. If you can’t add jewels to these things, or I’m assuming runes and sigils once they add armor and weapons, then the slightly higher base stats are justified. Think about that; you can’t put runes in your armor. If that was the case you’d want those base stats to be a little bit higher, so this is a pretty logical step. It also means that you won’t see a very high demand for ascended items outside of that dungeon. After all would you rather have armor with three percent higher stats or a full set of runes suited to your playstyle?

That’s the real comparison we need to make here; is ascended gear without upgrades better than exotic gear WITH full upgrades? Because that ascended gear isn’t going to have upgrade slots.

I think a lot of people are missing this…

The new gear doesnt make exotics obsolete…they are only obsolete for that specific dungeon. Out in the pve world it would be better to have exotics.
If you check the linked items on the blogpost Anet made about the new content you will see that the Ascended gear has no rune slot. The infusion slot is only useful for the dungeon they are adding at the moment.

Crapgame.6519 yes eventually they will add all the parts…that’s what…24 stats above exotics? I really dont think that will make anyone OP in wvwvw…
Or even better than the avg joe in exotics doing a dungeon. The infusions on the other hand were purposefully put in to gate people in the new dungeon, i would be more worried about that.

Guys it’s 2 stats above exotics…and they only added accessories so far. How exactly is that going to make you OP in wvwvw?
