Guild Wars 2

ArenaNet has added something to the game so obvious its almost funny I missed it. If it was intentional or accidental. I am having a feel it was more intentional than anything.

The Infinite Coil Reactor is in simple terms a giant walk-in compass.

It’s not a simple compass of North, West, East, South, but a compass that is directly tied to Guild Wars 2 itself. Its a compass to Elder Dragons.

Elder Dragons:
Zhaitan: Theme Color; Black. Undead Associated
Jormag: Theme Color; White. Ice Associated
Primordus: Theme Color; Red. Fire Associated
Kralkatorrik: Theme Color; Purple. Branded/Lightening Associated
Mordremoth: Theme Color; Green. Earth Associated
???: Theme Color; Blue. Water Associated

Now lets see something very unusual for a second about the Infinite Coil Reactor.

Each cornor of the reactor has zones. Each zone as a color tied to them as shown in the picture. The south zone, blue, is currently “(Under Construction)” if you unlocked the Point of Interest in the game.

Here is proof that this is an Elder Dragon Compass. We will start with black.
Lining up the lines of the reactor to the color zone and shooting out the lines into space…look how it conveniently lands on the dungeon entrance to Zhaitan.

And whats Zhaitans theme color? Black. Whats the zone color of the reactor? Black.

Lets now demonstrate another compass location. Next we will do Purple.
With the list I supplied above and if you played the game, Kralkatorrik is purple. Lets see if Zone Purple lines up to supply us a nice map location of Kralkatorriks dungeon location.

Oh wow! It does! It’s not the exact location of the center of the maelstrom but its the expectable location for the entrence to Kralkatorrik.

This is getting pretty cool. Lets try another one!

Zone Red for Primordus.

This most certainly a break-threw!

Zone White for Jormag.

Last but not least…Zone Green for Mordremoth.

Now for this one is tricky. Zone Green should actually be pointing north straight….not at an angle. Why did I move it at an angle? It should be straight kitten it! Not because I think it might be in Woodland Cascades, but there is a trick. An accident happened in the middle of the tunnel to Zone Green that altered the tunnel slightly. The tunnel changed slightly to a 25 degree angle. Usually at a compass you look at the center and then the path the line takes. The tunnel however changed slightly so from the center, we now move in the direction outward the tunnel is facing.

Here is a picture to show the tunnel in a grey circle being altered.

Oh you noticed that second circle? I noticed it too…

You notice that second circle looks extremely similar to Divinity Reach? Lets now see if that Divinity Reach impersonator matches the straight line theory!

Holy…crap…it does, and oh crap! I forgot about blue! …wait a minute. There is only five known dragons in the game. Whats the name of this dragon? Wheres it located?

“(Under Construction)”

Comment Below!

Bugs:

• Scepter skill Stone Shards, at random times, causes your character to have a “Freeze Spell Cast” moment where your character is stuck in that animation but not actually casting. The spell icon on the bar quickly flashes as if you are rapidly clicking it. Your character unfreezes from its animation upon sheathing weapons or clicking on the spell again.

• Elementalist weapon utility skills, at random times, do not use its last charge on the weapons. Instead, at the last charge, you automatically drop the weapon and revert back to your main weapons.

• Scepter skill Rock Barrier/Hurl might have a slight charge bug. Referenced below.

Requested Suggestion:

Scepter skill Rock Barrier/Hurl has 5 charges and improves toughness significantly. With the spelling having charges and not being able to use each charge one by one and Hurl causes the charges to all activate at once; it feel like the mechanic of charges of the spell is unnecessary if you cannot activate them one at a time.

Rock Barrier: Creates a barrier of rocks that increases armor value. Suggested Change:(I have seen this somewhere but I double checked to make sure I wasn’t seeing things or if it’s a bug for the charges to not activate.) Each hit causes one charge to activate slightly injuring all nearby enemies with in a frontal cone.

Hurl: Release one charge of the rock barrier. (Increase its damage because of a one charge transition or add a bleed/cripple.)

This will make use of Rock Barrier/Hurl useless wording of charges in the boon description.

By that information supplied for your PC it sounds about right for lowest setting graphics. I am predicting you have around 10-12 FPS.

Mines AMD A6-1800, Radeon HD 8280 and get like at max 14 FPS on lowest setting and its just a wee higher than your specs.

I have a HP Touchsmart 11 and when I move my character I cannot use the mousepad while using A, W, S, D keys to move. It like locks the mouse when moving and 8 seconds im able to. Using the arrow keys works fine just real awkward with a mini-laptop. Can anyone help me on this matter?

ArenaNet just sent me back a support e-mail saying I have possible corrupt files and cannot be read by my RAM and causing significate loading undexterity and causing low frames. A simple reinstall can help reorginize the files and have a better play experience. I find this very logical considering my other games I play that I listed are playing perfectly fine even if I still have a minimum graphics card.

Like I said….

I am not talking about a warrenty. Where did that even come from? I am talking about support. This whole forum is about support on my gameplay nothing of this thread is me trying to get a refund or extended warrenty. I could careless for a refund. Its incredible how you bring up things not even related to the main subject of the forum and continue to insult like its getting anywhere. Just say “I don’t think I can help you.” And move on not be all like “Its your fault.” and pretend that none of this arguing is your fault. I compared something to support you just brought out a whole new subject, twice.

Yes I said Anet better give me support because I am there customer and they need to treat their customers with respect. If you buy a broken TV from best buy and walk back in saying you want a refund and best buy saying “Oh sorry we can’t refund it because you were the one who bought it and now own it, we no longer have any control of it.” Even though you bought it under their name it makes their support look bad if they don’t try to help even if its obvious they can’t. Trying is better then just flat out saying “Your fault, go away.”

I also didn’t delete on purpose btw, I was going to edit the “Kitten” to something more make sence but I mistakenly clicked the delete button.

It’s obvious I can’t show sarcasem in typed words, what you linked was a sarcastic alternate solution to the problem that could of happened if I was a raging nerdy kid. You might know something about computers but apperently no social skills.

If I wanted to really get information desperately I would of said “I need to play this game right now! I am a GW2 Junky!!!!” No, I posted a problem that I was hoping that I would get some insight on but I guess not. A simple “Your Graphics card doesn’t meet the minimum requirements.” Might be a obvious and something I already know but really the lack of respect just flew away it seems like.

Squall gave me a very sincere answer even if it was obvious but you just took things to a whole new level.

@Mrowqa first I know nothing about cars. Second I am not raging you are giving yourself that incentive. I came on forums for public support and ideas to improve my system not only for the game but also if I might have a computer problem that is arising so in the future any game I play also won’t be infected. Three I have yet to even ask Anet support and probably will not because apperently everyone makes assumptions that I depseratly need to play this game and want to rage face to Anet to make it all better. If I can’t get it worked out or get the information I need I will not play the game anymore, simple as that. So again please keep the trolling to yourselves. :]

I guess simple words that Anet could give me the fix my system could possibly help them in the future with keeping the community and also the budget from me buying content…or they can just blow of their customers, be known for their crappy service, me writing a review on them making more people not play GW2 and leading up to the grand finale of them losing more players….or they could simply write 50 words to tell me how to improve my performance.

You should’t judge Anet so incredibly strong on how they function either that or you had bad customer suppport with a game in the past and think Anet will be the same. But seriously keep your ideas on how Anet will support players to yourselves and actually give useful and potent information and not troll discriptions. Thanks.

Since the release of the game I have been getting around 20 FPS on 4GB Memory and Intel HD Graphics 2000 (Which this graphics card shouldn’t be playing this game but obviously it can.) From Aug 25th – Last week I had a steady 20 FPS on all setting on low. It’s not like I care for the game detail anyways; I just enjoy the game-play. Anyways, starting last week when I started playing my frames suddenly started to get only max 7 average 4. I have a program that checks all drivers on my computer if they need to be updated and only my graphics card needed an update but the update was released December 18th and I would of noticed the problem way before a week ago. So I updated the graphics card and restarted computer and logged back in and still I am being limited to 7 max FPS. I have adjusted my 3D Rendering under the Intel graphics console to Best Performance down from Best Quality and still did nothing.
When I load my DxDiag it says it can’t locate Direct3D or DirectInput last time I used it under 32-bit settings. 64-bit gives me the information though.
Also I can play games not related to the internet perfectly fine like Sims 3 and Kingdom of Amalur with no frame problems or graphics problems.

You wish you were this ninja like….

Um it’s not a bug. If more than 2 people leave the party while 3 are still inside, the whole group gets teleported out. I don’t know why Anet put that there but yeah.

Heres one thing people never pay attention too. If ArenaNet wanted level 80 elitests, they would made ALL dungeons for 80s only.

Making a only level 80 run for a level 35 dungeon is like taking Deadmines in WoW and only letting level 90s run it. Except one problem with GW2’s Dungeons, They are equally challanged to all players no matter the level and the rewards are exactly the same and scale with level. That is the point of what ANet is trying to make to make a game CHALLANGING not a boring, repeative, easy run over and over and over. If you want to run something easy and repeativily for 5 years, go play WoW. Some people want to have a challange because it gives the gameplay purpose. All these level 80s who are destorying lower levels gameplay need to either have temp. bans or locked from dungeons for a set period of time because its destructive to others gameplay.

Ok…Legendaries are not suppose to look amazing and the best designed pieces of work in the game. Legendaries have a story behind them. I mean they are not called “Legends” for nothing. Also, Legendaries are in the game to make players work towards something at end game instead of trolling Lion Arch’s map chat. If you seriously are bickering about legendaries than I completely agree with Jrunyon.3012.

Dead.7385:

Hint:

Use LFM instead of LFG. If your level 35+ and forming a group than nobody can really argue with that. Also if you use LFM you get groups faster….just saying.

For example:
LF4M AC explore – “X” path.

Not bad, but then you get the occasional “Wtf a level 35, is this a joke? /leave”

So the reason why I left World of Warcraft was because of the max content and how the players restricted your rights to play end-game content by setting up these redundant boundries of “You need tons of experience, you have terrible armor, you don’t login enough…” ect. This caused newer or slower players to not beable to play end-game at all and have to go through long periods of boring moments finding guilds who accept them for raiding or PUGs that actually work.
I come across Guild Wars 2 and see that the game is made where everyone is able to participate and levels scale and stats scale depending on where you are. Just one problem. These end-game elitest are now poisoning this game with “Only 80s allowed” In a AC group. Do they not realize everyones levels scale back down to 30 and stats are averaged out depending on your final stat count? Being a level 80 doesn’t mean your debunked stat amount will be higher. It will be the max amount of stats a level 30 can have at that level which is pretty easy to accomplish for a level 30.
The reason why they added a dungeon at level 30 is because that is when all skill slots are unlocked. Even if the level 30 doesn’t have the elite skill unlocked, it won’t make a difference.
Guild Wars 2 needs to add a report abuse option for people who do this kind of stuff and ruin peoples chances of playing content that was meant for 30s and so on, not level 80s only.

The staff sounds like they recorded a dieing cow…similar to a dieing walrus for life siphon abilities. The dagger auto attack is really annoying too

samkong.2719:

Puts a green dot on your map, tricking you into believing you have a friend, but then immediately dies. Reminding you how horrible your traits are.

Ha!

My rotation:
Dagger/Dagger – Scepter/Focus
Utility – Blood Fiend, Bone Minions, Bone Fiend (level 16 so only 2 utilities)
Stacking condition, toughness, and healing stats
Traits – Death Magic (level 16 again so just imagin how many is in there)

First I use the Bone Fiends immobilize perk. Then use the chill affect of the focus skill. Switch to daggers and use Enfeebling Blood, Dark Pact, then Life Siphon. Switch back to Septer and use Bone Minions exploding ability once. And lasty Feast on Corruption. If I don’t down them by then I just use Grasping Dead, dodging, and Blood Curse until they are finished off.

Special occasions where it is a veteran mob, before I do dagger abilities I will go into Death Shoud and use the teleporting ability to put some conditions on so when I go back to scepter skills, Feast on Corruption will do more damage for veterans. I will always fear the mob right after I teleport to them so they will not take any life force away so I save more just incase.

So….I thought it would be pretty useful but all I see is this iddy biddy bone minion come up when I kill something and die in like 3 seconds. What the hell is it suppose to be doing? It doesn’t heal or even live long enough to do any damage…even if I do get to a new mob in time it runs to it and dies and does no damage.
Back to my question, wtf does a jagged horror do? Lol

WOOT 75% man I can’t wait

30% yeah! bring it

Holy mother of kitten

Yay mines downloading

AliceKaye.1903:

Trying to make it… but fading fast. My eyes are drooping.

Need coffee? I feel like this is headstart release all over again

Shurimpu.2048:

Arenanet in 5 hours: “It’s still the 22nd in hawaii you guys”

Lol …

I have been hoping since the last 20 hours that it would come out in the next 5 minutes but the 5 minutes roll by and I have to hope for another 5 minutes

I am going to rage quit if it comes out the 23rd PST….

I second this…Please!!!!!!

ETA, Message of problems, actual release time…all of that would be REAAAALLLY helpful Anet instead of driving people away from your game because you fail to supply accurate information. It’s like handing in homework with no answers and expecting to get a gold star. You expect us to give you 5 stars on your game when your communication with the players is terrible?

I like how the forum time says October 23, 2012 00:31

Bad Villain.6154:

lucky IF we see the patch by midnight and most kids have school tomorrow which is Un fortunate they will have to wait till the next day to play it question is will anybody care anymore?

Only thing I care about is Anet learning to actually provide accurate information and not send out e-mail like Halloween Even is Here! in the mail and then waiting tell 11:59 and saying “See we released on the 22nd”

Deggon.8152:

You did not watch the live chat today, it was not done a while ago, they specified that they were still working on the patch and would have it ready to release later today.

Bro…today is over with Anet just needs to get with the program

Thats a lie servers are still up and people in map are freaking out and really getting mad

I had this odd disconnect that was a really long awkward moment when nothing moved then a black screen came up and said I can’t connect to client. I figurd typical…I get that ever 15 minutes, I can get back on in minutes…then the white screen with Client cannot connect to servers and then the restart. And then for some reason GW2 knocked me off my Wi-fi service and had to reconnect to my Wi-fi. Now…when I try to log in…I get the 42:0:9001:3928 of unable to gain access to login-servers at this time.

I am on a crappy graphics and processer and my maximum frames is 16 so I wouldnt know, but being on a crappy graphics driver and still managing to have the same frames in a huge WvW group and not lagging is kind of odd when you are saying you get bad frames.

I am seriously beyond frustrated with this. I have sent dozens of support messages to Anet and apperently they love to ignore people.

I can’t play this game at periods of the day for more than 6 seconds before getting a annoying “Cannot connect to client” and closes down the game and restarts. I know this is not a internet problem because I got so frustrated I just quit playing for 3 days and in that time I have been streaming Netflix for 3 days straight without a single buffer coming up. I have asked fourms and they said graphics cannot be the cause of a client disconnect, if it were a graphics issue it would be a crash not a disconnect.

I log in. Play for 5 minutes and at some point everything stops moving for 10 seconds and can’t do any abilites. Black screen appers and says “Cannot connect to log-in client, please make sure firewall is disable.” or something similar to that. Thing is, I don’t have a firewall on or any anti-virus software to block the game. Sometimes the screen will turn white and completely close the game and restart the downloading client. At times it becomes so bad it gives me “Cannot locate game privilages.” message.

I would really like some answers after having this issue since Julys beta weekend, but apperently Anet is refusing.

Seems legit. I don’t see anything wrong with it.

Maybe Anet has like some noob on their team where he goes in and ruins the game so the team spends more time fixing it?

Oh my god lol that noise is annoying…watching the videos. I never had it happened to me yet and I have been no lifing the game for 250 hours and been in really huge groups. The only thing that screws up for me is in a REALLY huge group the sound overlaps itself so it sounds like a annoying bad echo.

Relogging didn’t fix the guild issue for me

Yep I am all alone in my guild. Wait…Light Bulb. PARTY!!! Wait tell they come back and see the damage I did to it

Sell them coins you get. Each one sells for about 1s 20c in TP. Thats your money right there.

Lol Arsenic…I spend about 4 uncessacary silver everyday from people dragging monsters over to me and they run off happy I have to blow my money

UNDEAD.6108:

bbanfillov.9308:

Ok I am confused.
Either this thread is about the lack of looking at the top of your screen and viewing the health of the targeted mob, or it’s about not being able to see the number of hitpoints in number values on the health bar.

If it is the first one; maybe look up once and awhile to see how far you have left to kill? If you need to see a health bar above the head, how is it any different from seeing the bar on the top of the screen besides useing less eyeball energy to see it?

If for the second one; what difference would it make? The more players who come into a radius of the mob, the mob will increase in health to balance between players. The numbers showing how much health is left would fluctuate at a very annoying rate from people leaving the vicinity and joining. To accurately determine how much damage you need to do to finish off the mob will constently change due to player activity in the area.

No the second one why i need see enemys hp bar at long range?
The what i mean is see how mutch hp enemy have left on hp bar.
Even enemys/bosses gets more hp on events depends player amount that area but still it would be easyer see how much enemys/bosses have the hp unlike with red hp bar that some times shows empty but still enemy/boss is alive.

Ok I too get frustrated when I see a empty black bar with no red signaling how much life is left. In a open world, number won’t be accurate, but in a instanced dungeon or story quest, they can be of some use.

P.S. herekitten is suppose to be a cuss word but apperently Anet improvises with lovely cute words. Also….yes I hate Player A, that is why he gets all the beatings.

Aggro in this game needs to be fixed desperatly. Common cases of bad aggro—

Case 1: Player A is standing under a waypoint AFKing thinking the Waypoint vicinity is safe. Player B is off in this distance running past mobs and collecting them but avoiding to kill to waste time to destination. Player A still AFKing under Waypoint and maybe drooling a little from “not being there” (If you know what I mean). Player B now passes by Player A and the group of monsters is still following. When monsters reach Player A, now instead of chasing who aggroed them, they now are punching, stabbing, and burning the empty Player A. Player A now dies and gains damage to armor, and now monsters run back to their respawn area while Player B continues on his/her way without fear of monsters chasing him/her.

Case 2: Player A is in a cave collecting, disableing, and moving objects for a quest. Player B is near Player A and is doing the same thing. Monster spawns behind Player A but is not in a good range to gain ‘aggro’ and Player A is busy shoving his hand in a cookie jar to care that a monster spawned behind him. Player B gets itchy to kill the monster and throws a couple arrows/magic spells/slashes at the monster. Monster finds Player A’s hand in the cookie jar a threat and instead of attacking Player B who is doing damage on him…he decides to go attack the harmless Player A now eating a cookie. Player B is dishing out large amounts of damage and the monster is now almost dead but he monster still insists on hitting Player A who is now choking on the cookie.

Case 3 (Rare Case): Player A is running past Player B who is killing the monster. Player A decides to be a rude noob and run in between Player B and the monster. The monster feels offended and now directs his attention to Player A and chases him down. Player B is standing there confused wondering where the hell his monster went. Player B turns camera and sees Player A being smacked and thrown around by monster and now dies. Monster goes back to respawn point and resets.

Case 4 (Thanks Aurorablue.5163): Player attacks monster and hopes to get some really nice loot from this monster. Monster decides to run away from Player and starts to slowly gain health back. Player thinks the monster is resetting and turns his/her intrest to another monster. All of a sudden monster runs back to player, with a greater distance away than before, and is now attacking the Player who now has two monsters on him. Player is so confused he now dies from not knowing there are two on him.

Not Related to Thread Topic: I would also like to add that it is beyond annoying how I could spend so much effort and time on a skill challange monster or veteran monster and almost killing it and all of a sudden people come up out of no where and finish the last 4% health on the mob and receives the skill point or expereince and loot. They run off and I am sitting herekitten off because I just did all this hard work and they run off happy and joyus about spending 2 seconds on the mob and getting credit for it.

Ryld.1340:

An option for a percentage number would be nice.

Just mainly for bosses that do things at 25/50/75 percent health.

Again, about what I said above. The digit number amount will fluctuate at a very crazy range from player activity so a exact % or # is highly useless. Some of the bosses I have encountered so far do not have any special ability they dish out at every 1/4th of a health depleted. The boss mechanics are more timed then they are by health. For example a stomp could be every 20 seconds and not every 2% health, or a shout that makes everyone fear away won’t only happen at 50% health.
