Guild Wars 2

Ive been crashing aswell but not Game Crashes where that report occurs. My PC crashes. A friend of mine helped me do a system check on my PC and found nothing that would be causing the Problem. I run other PC games on Max Just fine and this Crash only occurs on Gw2. After all this I uninstalled and Reinstalled to see if it was the game’s fault but still my PC crashes and shuts off. I have been feeling on my PC to see if it’s overheating but no. My PC has a lot of Ventilation through it’s casing, and 2 Fans. It’s possible but It never feels hot. I play other games on Max Settings and Run Gw2 on Max settings aswell but its these random crashes that I don’t understand because they don’t occur on anything else I play.
I would appreciate the help.

It’s Not more “Oh Man I Just Killed An Anet Dev” It’s more like “There playing the game with us! Oh Man I just killed An Anet Dev” :P They Probably were multitasking. But One of them dropped down to finish a buddy of mine after he bombed him with Arrows from the AC he was manning. Aswell as the Warrior who came down and tried to 1v5 us just before that lol. It was fun. Wikitten would happen more often.

About a Week ago I’m Sure everyone in the DH/IoJ/SF WvW scene had noticed the random appearance of a small group of “Players” with the special Anet Symbol as their guild tag. I would like to know if they were Anet Dev’s?

If so can we get a head’s up! The thrill I got from defeating them with a few of my Guildies was awesome. I don’t mind the random Pop ins. It was really cool but strange as to a few of them were upleveled o.o

Point is..Were they dev’s? If so WvW more often on one of Darkhaven’s opposing servers to get a beatdown from [SE] :P

Wow. Thanks for the heads up man.

+ 1

Simple and Seems like it can be easily implemented and Just this can be a game Changer. Where guild’s can actually feel responsible for defending the Tower they Claimed.

One more suggestion tho.
In Some Bright Color in the Chat Box it Should Inform everyone which Guild has claimed what in your server.

Ex. Guild “Side Effect” has claimed Stonemist Castle.

So people can get the sense of who would be the ones with a bit more responsibility In reacting to it’s attack for a Defense.

I been havin a lot of fun fightin [KING] Members. 1v1’s are interesting when it aint one of your mesmers. The other day was roamin alone at night and I seen a [KING] Mesmer getting 3v1’s so I decided to help. Fight dragged and I got killed so I Wp’d and came back and there was only a warrior left to take down from IoJ I continued to help him. After that we stared each other down and he decided to engage me. We had our duel and he easily Slipped out of every type of CC I thew at him. I knew I was dead after he broke free from my Grasping Vines before I could land my Burst and ended up wasting it on Air. Good fight random [KING] Mesmer. Which I could’ve gotten that thank you tho :P

Still enjoying my Ranger and now I have all P/V/T Gear from WvW and Going P/Prec/T gear with berserker jewels. That accessories might change to due me planning to buy the Runes of Eagle to up my Prec more. Might slip it more toughness if my Crit chance hits 50%

To the Roaming Guardian Norn from Anvil Rock, once you dodged my knock back I knew I had lost. Explains why you were roaming around in our BL. Hats off…You soaked up everything I threw at you!

Now…for the thief I’ve seen more then 3times in our BL from Anvil Rock. White and Red Cloak…rage almost had you the 1st time. I will get you!

Bro I really like this idea. I don’t know bout PvE but in terms of PvP and WvW this will wreck zergs to make them less viable. If more then 5 people get hit with an AoE the damage scales to how many people hit. Zerg will be no more! Removing the AoE will only make the game AoE focused like any generic MMO game. There needs to be balance with AoEs and the Cap was probably Anets only solution. It was a start. Except larger groups get an advantage and I’m sure they didn’t think about that way….Naaah maybe they did

Anvil Rock? More like Anvil Squishy…(Lame Joke)
Anyways, I’ve played long enough to say it.

Where your good players at?
I’ve seen coordination from both sides. Impressive. Yes but C’mon when it comes to Zerg on Zerg or small group fights, whatever I’ve been involved in so far. Pfft. Impress me. BP now they make your Butt Clench when you achieve a win! Muahahahjaahhahjaha cough

since u have 2 immobilizers,i suggest using axe/torch and changing one of ur pet with spider that can stun using the f2 (actually it will be immobile instead of stun,typo error on tooltip). Once immobilised,use the bonfire and then splitblade at point blank range,the 5 blades wil bleed n add extra burn combo. ur pet can immobilise on command and he can immobilise again using his skill but u can;t control that. so u have total 4 immobilise to play with

I’ve asked around and people say this is a much better choice then great sword apparently. But it seems that’s more for an offensive play style and I love the Gs for the block and quick stun on #5.
I still need to find those pets you guys are talking about and I will. I have been doing pretty fine. It really means a lot that I’m actually doing fine (from what y’all say) on my ranger. I tried every class but the ranger just felt comfortable for me.

It was fun…..wish [SE] luck as we try to make a name in our next tier battle.

You guys make it sounds so epic. It truly is and is why I want to be one, if only if only, when your a commander it isn’t only cause you drop 100gs on the Doritos Bling. If only it meant more. Like Work they have put in. Along with skills/Kills. So it’s more like a leaderboard. Highest maybe…6 Ranks are Commanders. If they start getting Lazy or Fkin up. Next in line takes Their Place as Commander. Thanks for all the advice as well. I’m from Darkhaven so I hope I can get that 100g or if they happen to change commanding to some sort of progression system then.

I would be last place on that leader board and yet able to outplay them all.

Because good commanders aren’t raking in the kills, they are commanding.
You read the map, you watch your supply levels, you watch your enemy movements you receive reports from scouts and deal out your own orders to micro groups while leading the main body towards the least defended side of an objective or the blind spot in its siege.

Its pot luck if a person who wants commander becomes a good one. And it is not a fun job to do when you are fighting an equal foe. That is when you are juggling three separate attacks with trebs and siege and golems being built behind, with a zerg breaker team sneaking around the hill to flank and arrows pouring out of the sky onto everything.

How to be a good Commander.
Be good at life.
Because every life skill that you know of is used in Commanding.

The End.

I know and that’s true. If only maybe commanders have an Attack Order,Defend Order Supply Run Order (They can have more but I think those three would be the most important)
A Commander gets Rating Points depending on how many people attack the area he ordered which would be a keep,tower and such. While he gets some for how many people defend and area the commander orders. These Commands can only be used maybe every half hour or 15 minutes to not let any Rate Spams. Supply Run Order should provide rating for how much supply is taken from a camp or Hold the commander orders……Sounds good?

So we can see definitely who are the best commanders…? Idk

I’m hoping the Special Skills you get for ranking are just like A bleed or a Cripple, immobilize Ect. So it’s nothing game changing just a different skill you can use. I hope the bonuses are different designs or effects to powers. Like a Ele using Blue Fire. A Mesmer’s clones melting when bursted. A rangers entangle be chains instead of roots and so on. Nothing making higher ranks have an advantage over you. I kitten hope they don’t break the “No treadmill” thing like they promised. Keep it balanced.

If you do eventually get your commander tag, you’ll realise that it’s one thing to talk about flank or feint attacks, and quite another to get them done. They can be done, but they require very good communication and explanation from the commander, and a disciplined and intelligent group of players following him. Sometime players seem determined to scatter rather than sticking tightly together, to engage in pointless skirmishes with thieves rather than getting to that objective that needs defending, to either not bring supply or waste it on useless seige, to…. well I could go on.

And on top of that you have to put up with the armchair-generals who are sure they know better because they’ve read a few lines of Sun Tzu. Which is totally applicable to a video game.

Three things for a good commander: 1. Communication, both listening to scout reports and properly reacting to them, and also explaining your plans and reasoning to your followers. Nobody can read minds, and people don’t like following blindly either. 2. Deliberately underestimate the guys following you. The best commanders always assume that if they go within 100 metres of a tower, a good portion of their group will break off to auto-attack the gate until they get wiped, so they either skirt well around them, or they deliberately move that way to leave the less intelligent players there as a distraction for the enemy. 3. Patience. Just accept that things won’t go as well as you’d like, that players will ignore you or mess things up, and that some will blame you personally for the failings of the server. It’s no use raging about it, that just results in things getting worse and worse.

hahaha where you in my head when you typed this?? is has everything i see as a commander.

Yea lol. This was very very helpful. This is kind of like a Guide/Warning of wanting to be a good commander lol.

CHIPS.6018:

No one flanks because a zerg in tight ball formation is already having the maximum advantage. They are nearly immune to AoE damage thanks to the AoE target limit. They are partially invisible thanks to culling. They lag the **** out of their enemy so they can’t uses their skills.

Flanking requires your front line to hold the enemy, while you go around their back to hit them. In wvw that won’t work primary due to the AoE limit. You cannot kill a tight ball formation zerg fast enough for it to be worth while. And if you split your forces, the enemy in one single bigger zerg would kill your front line too fast. They cannot hold. There is no collision detection. A 60 men tight ball formation zerg can literally charge past your front line and kill everything. By the time your flanking army gets there, their zerg already charged though and is turning around again to kill the rest of you.

And tight ball formation is much easier to train than flanking.

All I’m Going to say is…. kitten bro….you hurt my soul here….But I do know what you say is true….but kitten bro…

I’m not 80 Yet. So Would My Gear still need to be known?
I use a Sylvari Hound for Regen on Passive.
Then I use a Brown Bear For the big battles and most of any other aspect of the game.

I have opening strikes on me and my pet so Once I get into range I will Tag someone with grasping vines. Pop Quickness and use barrage on someone while this is happening he would have 10 stacks of Vulnerabilty (I prefer calling it weakness) because of quickness I can hit with my Weakness Arrow before the stacks end making it go to 20 stacks for a few more seconds. Then I use the Multi Shot. That’s ofcourse Speaking if my strategy went through smoothly. If not I will just dance with them till I use Entangle. Rinse and Repeat

My Build is 30/0/20/20/0

I use the LongBow/Greatsword For WvW and PvE
The Shortbow/Greatsword For Spvp and Dungeons.

I never change my build since I think the best build is a build that fits your play style and not a play style for your build.

I use Entangle,Grasping Vines,Quickening Zephyr,and Lightning Reflexes.
I change them when it’s needed.

I’ve done fine so far….
Any Advice?

Even though at this time I can already tell WvW does not allow much room to explore different tactics. I still notice the lack of skill in many of my server’s Commanders. We have a few solid leaders when at times I will brainlessly follow their lead just because I know they will make the right decisions. One thing about MANY of my WvW Commanders is the lack of flanking or even attacking something from more then one angle. <—- that usually happens only on SM from my experience.

The point of this post is because I want to discuss what skills would a Commander need in order to be good and not just the “Blue Dorito with an army of brainless followers”

One thing I want from every Commander is them being open to suggestions and not thinking that whatever they do is the right thing to do in every situation. I want to be a Commander one day so this is more of advice too.

[/quote]Well increasing orange swords activation from 5 ppl to 25 is a first move. Oh w8 … it actually lets stealth cap things with 24 ppl instead of just 4. So much from my hopes to see small grps being viable.[/quote]

I agree with you man. This helps the higher tiers but it doesn’t help lower tiers where zergs are about 20 or so people. Allowing Huge groups to Ninja Caps. I dislike it as much as you do. Tho, It proves they are trying to get things going….They just need to do something for lower tiers because that’s a really really bad move.

I agree…March is a Gamebreaker.

Even if they can’t deliver everything in March just give us something that is a game changer just so we know Anet is actually trying now. A Progression system isn’t enough. I want to be excited about something.

I see they fixed and issue with higher tier servers but I’m in Darkhaven…a Zerg is like 20 or so People….We wont get any notification about who is doing what and where….

I’m not going to complain because that is helping alot of people in the higher tiers from what I can tell but they need to do something about the lower tiers because this ENCOURAGES Zergs in lower tiers.

The AoE Cap is Too low…I don’t see how they can figure out of way to make it where it’s not about the more people you are fighting have the advantage. Removing the AoE cap is the Worst move possible. It WILL be all about AoE’s after that. I can only think about it scaling Dynamically…Thats for Anet to figure out tho. The AoE cap doesnt actually bother me. All they need to do is figure out a way to make Zerging less of a Priority and I bet noone will complain….untill then….

Yes I have this issue too….A Custom Built Gaming PC Just Today…so Im clueless to what might be the issue.
I also have already downloaded this game on my fathers PC with no problems before when I had first purchased the game…Now this problem is occuring with my Brand New Gaming PC.

I apologize in advance for posting it here. I just feel like I will get the answer sooner if I were to post my problem here.

ok I have already downloaded this game before. It’s currently on my Father’s PC since I didn’t have one at the time and I wanted to play the game. Now I finally have my own.
Point is, I downloaded this game on my fathers PC (which is not nearly as good as mine) and It didnt cause me any sort of problem. Now On My Pc what the situation is that It will download the client from the Disc _1 but once it’s finished downloading it just stops. It doesnt proceed to download the game. I don’t know if it’s the .DAT file issue but why didnt it cause a problem on my father’s PC? I have tried running it as administrator but it still doesn’t work. It just downloads the client and stop’s there…Please any help would be great. I dont understand the issue.

So this might possibly be our last week together??

Now is the time….the time for you to join forces and keep us in this tier….

Pfft* You want us gone as bad as we want to be gone.
