Guild Wars 2

Works fine for me. I’ve done it twice today

Invite me please

This is in one of the orr story quests. The Risen spider lord summons about 50 veteran spiders with over 50k hp that hit for ~1500 each on my elementalist. They also stunlock you indefinitely. Geared in exotics and ascended and had to die about 4 times to beat this. Also the run back from waypoint takes 3-4 minutes which is ridiculous.

This can be several things. Graphic drivers, overheating of gfx card, unstable overclocking, etc.

And if anyone wants me to test an AMD card, I will have a 7950 in a few days when fedex arrives. That will clear up any AMD vs nVidia disputes for performance, as I currently run a GTX 275.

I run culling on highest and do not have a reduction in performance. Like I said, my I7 @ 4.6 ghz does not lag, therefore nobody running 4.4 or 4.5 should lag either, by logic. I used to run a pentium g2120 and that would lag appropriately in zergs. Even my laptop I7 920xm didn’t bog down in WvW or big event zergs, and that thing was a 1st gen I7.

And don’t overclock on a cheap motherboard. Forgot to mention that.

And update your GFX drivers if you aren’t current.

i7 3770k @ 4.6 GHz watercooled, 16gb 2133 ram, GTX 275.

Everything high except reflections, shadows, and shaders. They are on medium.

Never dip below 60 even in huge zergs. Realistically I stay 70-80.

Sounds like you guys have some unstable overclocks. Try running prime95 for 24 hours and verifying that you haven’t toasted your CPU or that it is getting enough voltage.

If you aren’t running at least 1.31v around 4.5 ghz, you are doing it wrong. Autoset will not work either. An ivy bridge I7 or I5 will NOT budge in zergs. Period. This is provided that you are overclocked correctly.

I’ve been boycotting the gemstore until they quit kittening everything up.

Stuck in an overflow with no event. Cool. I kittening love this.

I like how a quick disconnect and reconnect means you lose half an hour or more worth of time spent

This event sucks balls

It’s impossible, because the events are bugged, and boot you out, or disconnects will make you have to wait another hour.

lets make an event nobody can participate in. that’s super cool and fun

I like how i spend 35 minutes doing a battle and get disconnected for a minute and now i’m in overflow with no event. thanks for wasting my kittening time. i kittening hate this event.

So I ran a fractal today, and was having very unusual luck. I caught 2 exotics and an ascended ring, on top of a lodestone and some lucky t6 mats. Considering I’ve found maybe 4 exotics since this game came out (including the 2 i got in this one fractal), I was very surprised.

I was joking with my friend who also had good luck (he caught 2 vials in one fractal), about how he should go try the mystic toilet. He threw some things in an didn’t get anything special. I decided to have my own go, so I bought 4 sets of 8 rare shields of different types. 1st combine I got an exotic (the luck!), 2nd combine I got my legendary precursor!!! I threw the rest of the shields in and got a Shield of the Wing which recouped almost all of the gold I spent.

What a day!

I’ve mostly stopped playing this game after burning over $100 trying to get a fused weapon. Definitely wont participate in RNG gambling ever again.

WORKING on Eredon Terrace! Just got my world completion! Yay

The drop rate was nerfed about 10x a month or two after launch.

Can confirm black lion keys do not drop. 550+ hours. You can get them from daily or storyline rewards.

Bugged on Ferguson’s Crossing, Darkhaven, Blackgate.

I’m starting to get really, really, aggravated. Not even a whole day after the reset and every server is bugged again. I just need this one freaking vista for my completion.

Bugged on multiple servers I’ve tried.

Stuck at 99% missing this vista for completion of world. Can’t find a server it works on.

It mutes you for like 5-10 minutes if you say 2-3 things in a row

Still bugged on Darkhaven, Sea of Sorrows, Gate of Madness.

Talk about annoying

I prefer power/precision/toughness

I rock about 50% crit chance pre-fury and it seems plenty.

I would like to have this pet, but would rather not play the RNG game. Any chance of just adding him to the gem store? I’d pay 800 gems for it. Not a big deal.

I just don’t want to be the unlucky soul who spends 5000 gems on chests and doesn’t get 3 different minis to form him.

I think it was 560mb when I finished

The clocktower on the other hand made me want to punch myself in the eyesocket. 100+ tries until completion.

I think this puzzle is one of the easiest in the game. Did it on 3 characters in a row no problem. Took me 3 trys the first time, until I figured it out.

…but I can’t. Apparently Dragonbrand is the late night/early morning server to be on for WvW and Darkhaven is empty. So during the time I play the map looks something like the picture attached (just took that).

It’s really cool that I can’t transfer to Dragonbrand because it’s full. Are there any other nightshift type servers? That’s the only time I play.

I went from getting 1 every 2-3 hours at launch, to now I’m lucky to get 1 per week. That’s with easily 25 hours of gameplay per week. Drop rate has been nerfed as much as 90% if I were to guess.

While set to “Terrain & Sky”, reflections are currently rendering characters as well. The programmers may want to check that when set to all, it isn’t rendering multiple copies of all character models (which could possibly explain the horrible performance across high end PCs).

Additional: Just double checked, that screenshot shows objects that weren’t rendered while I was in-game. Just went back in to check, they are only rendered when set to render all reflections, yet somehow the screenshots are showing it rendering all reflections while set to terrain & sky only.

There are some obviously present bugs and poor optimizations here. Like I said, I’d recommend making sure things aren’t being rendered an arbitrary amount of times, and are only being rendered once in the reflections.

28.4k health, 2125 toughness, 3336 armor. Built for condition removal and still getting 1-2 shot. Tanky builds don’t seem to be viable, imo. 2 dodges and a few condition removals can only keep you alive for so long with no damage output.

Just roll glass cannon like everybody else. The thieves will still pwn you either way.

That sounds about right. With my old athlon x2 6000+ and gtx 460 i was getting 20-25 fps. When I upgraded to a pentium g2120 with the same gfx card I went up to ~130 fps on lowest settings

My system is a Pentium G2120 Ivy Bridge and a GTX 660 ti.

Obviously my processor is choking on this game. I run 90-100% load on both cores always. The GTX stays around 30-40% load.

I run everything on high right now with the exceptions of LOD and animation. I also keep reflections set to terrain only. I can nail 60 fps everywhere except Lion’s Arch.

So what will it take to push those last few settings and keep my fps. Will a 3570k handle it? Anyone with one overclocked to 4+ Ghz that can report accurate FPS with a similar GFX card?

Hardware Spec:
-Pentium g2120 @ 3.1Ghz
- GTX 660 ti @ 1100 core (310.33)
- 8gb 1600 DDR3
- Windows 7 x64

Game setting
- Fullscreen 1920×1080
- Low to medium (textures on high) with fxaa off

FPS Value:
PvE: 15-40
Town: 5-20
WvW: 15-40

On best appearance I get 5-10 fps everywhere with extreme stutter.

I think the completion times would all be the same because you have to wait for the tower to finish spinning around at the end.

Asura Warrior with no speed boost.

The trick was re-zoning until I found a group absent of Charr and Norn. Beat it second try after that.
