Guild Wars 2

Sam here! I am unable to get in since yesterday. It just kicks me back to DR…

Same here! I can barely achieve 20 fps now with everything on low with my old Asus ROG laptop (mostly running on 14-18 fps) and it is really unplayable.

Asus G73JH
i7 720QM
AMD Mobility Radeon 5870 HD
8GB of RAM

I have also bought HoT on 21st and applied the code on the same day. Got extra char slot 2 days later. No problems there!

It’s so strange that you are receiving those emails telling you’re not eligible for it. Hope you’ll get it soon…

Great idea! +1 from me

Totally agree on this one! I have to mouse hover over every icon to see which ones I already did. The difference is just so small. Please make them more distinctive!!

I also spent like 3 hours on trying to kill it and ended up being awake ’till 4 am on a work day. Always dying on that 2nd gliding phase because I was not able to get into the air, and few times those rifts opened in mid air. Also the boss was in the 3rd pahse all the time after I died for the first time, making everything a bit harder. In the end I managed to kill him the first time I managed to use those updrafts in 2nd phase…

Just learn to ignore them, and/or report them back for abuse. A while back people were reporting me for so many stupid things, like mist-form and Elixir S stomping, super speed + rocket boots and so on. At the beginning I was always trying to explain that I was doing nothing wrong, but after a while I just stopped caring…

Update: I did change all settings manually and everything was fine. After that I tried again to use autodetect setting and it worked. So I guess problem is solved!

Every time when I try to use autodetect graphic setting I only get black screen and client becomes unresponsive (or sometimes it crashes). Only thing I can do is to open task manager and kill the process from there with keyboard since my mouse pointer is still showing one from the game and I can’t click anywhere in windows interface.
I will try to change all settings manually, one by one so maybe I will find witch one is causing trouble…

This started to happen after this last patch…

Noooo! You will not make me flush hundreds of gold down the toilet again. This time I am saving to finally buy my precursor! Zomorros is always playing tricks!!

I have tried to change my graphic settings using “auto detect” options and first time I did that my screen just went black and gw2 client became unresponsive. Every other time I tried the same thing the client crashed…

Sanrio.7192:

So Anet need to make right click is available in chat log

Can’t do that because combat log shows nothing, or in best case scenario it shows hits like “unknown”. As I said before, there were many reports and video materials sent to Anet, but they never did anything, so I suspect that they can’t fix it…

Well, I think ANET can’t find these players, that’s why it’s taking forever to ban them. Something similar happened before on one of the EU servers. There were invisible ele and thief killing everyone while invisible and taking towers within few minutes. Combat logs never recorded anything. Even people from their server were not able to see them. We reported the problem many times and it was never fixed…hackers just got bored and left, so I guess ANET is hopping the same will happen here.

Terrorsquad.4802:

And I never exploited anything in w/e game, not sure why you’re targetting me.

Probably because one of the guys in this video trying to get the buff (exploit) is next to you on your screenshot….

Why so serious? Everyone seem to be kittened off by this week-long event, but after all it’s just a game and some people find this event to be lots of fun. Personally, well, it was fun for hour or two, but still I don’t want to rage. In our matchup we have lots of fights and I haven’t seen that many K-trains going around, there are even few waypoints across all maps.
Only thing I am really mad about is alarming number of players abusing the bug to get golem buff when they are not in them…that’s a shame…
I can also add that I am really passionate about WvW and that I spend 80% of my gaming time upgrading, sieging and defending our objectives….

I constantly read post where mesmers defend PU condi builds, and how they require skill to play. But that’s just a lie!

I dusted off my asura mesmer, put some rabid gear and went to WvW to test it. I was just owning everyone…even wast majority of 1v2s were easy as hell and I am not even sure I had a good setup (played with s/t and staff and picked up traits that sounded good at that time). I don’t even want to imagine how powerful this can be in hands of a better player.

I know the story is a bit different in PvP and this build is mostly viable in WvW roaming, but please don’t tell me it requires skill to play. Not sure if any other build/class offers big rewards with so little effort? (maybe condi thief?)

There’s no current one, but you can buy season 2 from TP and play it. It is like some kind of a prequel for upcoming HoT expansion, and in my opinion it’s worth buyin it…

Roxer.4609:

…but if they give you a flexibility to receive the refund first and buy HoT later, that doesn’t sound bad.

Only if he asked for it previously….but it seems he didn’t and now he’s forced to buy HoT to continue using previously bought account. I just hope this was some sort of a mistake…

^^ Exactly! But if that’s not the case and they block all new accounts, many people will be kittened after this, including me…

Automatic refund? You didn’t ask for it? That’s really stupid then. I bought my 2nd acc in that period and I do not want any refunds and I never intended to upgrade that acc to HoT anytime soon…

2.5k hours and never seen precursor in my inventory. Still working on my first legendary. Because I mostly play PvP and WvW roaming, my income is pretty low, but I hope I will be able to buy The Hunter soon enough, or I’ll just wait and craft it when that’s available…

You don’t have to buy any special “mac beta” versions of the game. You can download Mac or Windows game client once you register your serial key with your account. Simple as that…

Just print additional fancy shiny sticker and stick it on the box (it has to be shiny!!).

Players just want to be treated fairly and equally and that’s all. I really like that they included core game with HoT for new players and I hope many new players will come and stay for a long time. I understand that existing players feel like they are being left out in this. Adding additional char slot would help alot to calm this situation. And I know that Anet owes us nothing, but that would be fair treatment and sign of a good will and respect to all those players who supported the game for so long and I hope will continue to do so in the future…

Well, you did get your money’s worth if you played the game these past 3 months. I would be sympathetic if you did miss those sales and bought the game for full price. It’s still kinda shady because HoT FAQ did say that core game is needed to play expansion, but as I said, you did get your money’s worth after all, imo.

If you put aside all these false statements in the first post, I agree that Anet is not obligated to give us a char slot, but including one would be a sign of a good will, especially when new players are getting so much more for the same price.

Once again, Anet owe us nothing, but still many players feel like they are being treated unfairly. Some argue that old players got more already because they were playing the game for some time now and they experienced stuff that new players did not…but those old players did pay for all of that, it’s not like they tricked Anet or something.

I think that if Anet did include char slot for existing player, 90% of this “rage” would not happen. Personally, i have all 8 classes at lvl 80 and have enough gems to buy few more slots, but for now I will wait and see what’s gonna happen…

You will get early access during beta events to try out HoT and its features…

Gern.2978:

That’s open world content, of course people are going to complain that it’s too hard.

A better example to look at is level 50 fractals. Those are very challenging, but lots of people still do them (myself included), have lots of fun doing them, and don’t complain that they are too hard. And it is that crowed that would do raids.

Yep, but fractals are not raids. I was trying to say that ppl wanted (or at least they think they wanted) large scale (raid-like) hard and demanding epic fights, but in reality most players will avoid that because of high level of coordination is needed to complete those fights…

Furious.2867:

Putting myself in their shoes, you whiners are impossible to satisfy and would rather shut down the company than serve you.

Nope…if they just bundled 800 gems or char slot for existing players, no1 would complain (apart from those who bought the game when HoT faq said that you have to have base game to play the expansion). 50$ is totally fine if you ask me, but people just want to be treated fairly and that’s all about it.

I support this move to bundle HoT with base game because community will grow, but it’s unfair because existing players are feeling like they are not getting the same deal as new players are. I totally understand that and I don’t see the reason why would someone think that’s unreasonable request.

Anet owe us nothing, but it would be nice of them to give existing players same or similar treatment like they did with potential new players…

People always complain about lack of “hard” content in GW2, but what really annoys me is that most players in this game actually avoid hard content and stick to easy farmable dungeon paths and world bosses. Nowadays no1 ever tries to do triple wurm and before megaserver implementation you had to guest on specific server to do Tequatil.

Look at the Wildstar…they tried to listen to hardcore mmo players that wanted large scale hardcore raids, and after few months many hardcore guild just stopped trying because it was too demanding.

Don’t get me wrong, I would also like some challenging raid-like content but I am afraid that most players will skip it anyways (if actual rewards are going to be…well, meh…).

I like the proposal that ACs should not damage other siege weapons. Yeah, that will also make defending a bit harder, but there are always other ways to get rid of those rams.

Never had this bug before, but during last few days I can’t chat or see chats from others in my guild. I am a member in two guilds (one being my personal stash). Tried everything and nothing helped so far…

smug.3895:

Wasn’t it confirmed by the devs that even if you swap before the match begins, the swapper gets an automatic loss (and dishonor if it gets implemented)? Not only that, if the person was in a party (not team), then the whole team gets penalized. The reason was that the matchmaking takes classes and MMR of a player playing with that class into account.

So… you can’t reasonably expect someone to swap.

Nah..they changed that (at least for this last test season). Basically you have 1m period to change your class without being punished, but not sure if that’s gonna stay in the future…

Why didn’t you ask them what’s the problem? I never played on those daily arenas, but my guess is that one team caps all 3 points and then they wait for points to tick to 500. You probably ruined that plan for them. Play on other arenas and problem will be solved…

Same thing was happening a year ago when we were fighting one specific server, but it was thief-ele duo. Not sure if they got bored or anet did something to get rid of them. But I stopped playing WvW during that time because that was so frustrating…

It was said that they had 3 camera guys working on that stream, and yes, at least one of them was really bad, but I would blame the guy who was in charge of picking which camera to display to viewers at given time (and maybe that camera guy with silly close-ups).

Either way, it got a bit better later on…

They have to practice somewhere, and matchmaking system is usually trying to match premades vs premades.
I am rarely facing premades myself, but there are some instances where I was 5th player in a team of 4 facing full premade on the other side.
Most of the time teams are balanced (party-size wise) but MMR balance can be sometimes way off and every now and then my team wins like 500-100, or we lose 100-500.

It was a test season and it’s over now…guess it will be live again once they implement all the changes they want (or we’re gonna see more test seasons)…

+1 on this

I don’t care about ectos or any other materials, just want my sigils/runes back

Gandara has many solo roamers, but somehow it feels that other servers in our matchup have mostly roaming groups of 3+ so it’s hard for me to find any good 1v1 or 1v2 fights around. Anything more than 2 players is too much for me 90% of time

Random Weird Guy.3528:

If you insist:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/pvp/PSA-Off-season-Ladder-Starts-Saturday/first#post4695895

Thanks! I was not aware of this change.

Random Weird Guy.3528:

Why is this 3 month old topic being bumped? I thought they already fixed it so that swapping classes is included in the 1 minute grace period.

Did they? Can you provide a link for that? I am not sure, but it seems that every time I swap characters before match my points go down when we win. I am sick of fighting premades with having team of 3 thiefs, mesmer and ele, that’s why I always try to change to something more appropriate and help as much as possible because I would like to have some decent fights with chance to win. I have lost many points because of this, but I just don’t care, MMR and leaderboards are broken anyway…

I simply don’t agree with you. There were many matches where my team started bad, losing first mid fight, close decapped just after that, but if you play it smart and doing few good rotations you can turn around that match if people are willing to listen.
I hate when people start typing in chat that the game is lost and that there’s no point in fighting, when there’s always chance to turn things over…

Isn’t it better just to increase overcharge timers and decrease overall health and damage done by turrets? This proposed change seems drastic and turrets will become useless in most other cases, pve mostly…

This is really crazy! I had a long brake from GW2, but back when I was active, I was mostly solo queuing for team ranked matches (mostly because of better reward system). Most of the time matches were interesting, but sometimes we got destroyed by good premades. That did not matter because I knew there was a good chance of that to happen.

Back then I was always in top 500-1000 (team leaderboards) without even trying hard, just playing for fun.

Now I am back for 10 days and now I did cca. 100 matches, and guess what, I managed to get whole 10 rank points with w/l ratio of 48% (it was around 60% before, but lately matchmaking luck was not in my favor). I never managed to get more than 10 rank points overall. Losing points for getting destroyed by good premades where you can see dragon finishers popping everywhere.

It’s not that I care so much about leaderboards, but this is just stupid. Can’t progress at all, especially when matchmaking system put me with players dying to Svanir and leaving capped points to wander around and on top of that we are fighting premades. I was really trying to stay positive and keep trying, but it’s not working at all. I’ll just forget about leaderboards and try to play for fun like before while trying to not lose my nerves when seeing so many stupid things players can do.

You can try to queue solo for teamQ. Lot less 4v5 situations, but you can stumble upon some well organised teams, or you will be paired with very bad players.

But believe it or not, most of the time you will fight other solo players or small teams of 2-3 with pugs. There are also many new or inexperienced guild teams that are quite easy to beat as a pug team.

So, atm, soloQ < teamQ (from my perspective)

teamQ is really not so bad (when queuing solo), it’s quite a good chance that you will face other solo players, or teams of 2 or 3 plus solo pugs since many ppl try to avoid skyhammer. And also wait time in queue is considerably shorter compared to soloQ.

I have played close to 1k matches in teamQ queuing solo and my win ratio is around 55%..

4v5 is a major problem, i agree on that. But profession balance is not Anet’s fault. You can always relog and change to something that suits your team more. That’s what I am doing all the time…

Server: Gandara [EU]
Hidden achievement is there, done, but no chests whatsoever.
Tried to re-log, change chars, but nothing. Hope this will be fixed before the introduction of ticket vendor.

Hm…what about 1v1 fights but with few servers joining on one side as an alliance? It would be like 2v2 or something like that. That would partially solve “coverage” problem, and would encourage ally teams to split up and have more tactic play. But still we would need new maps for system like that…

It’s just an idea…I don’t mind having this current system…
