Guild Wars 2

How long has it been since Heart of Thorns launched? Reoccurring bugs from day 1 still aren’t fixed. We’re talking Heart of Thorns story quest that bug out and require you to restart the game. Dragon Stand meta that disconnects or crash your game at the final parts. Clearly if a half baked product is being pushed into the market, it has to be something worth the price, or even free. Since these problems have been reoccurring since day 1, it is safe to say that the devs have stopped working to provide an experience worth at least 50 dollars. I have 2 accounts, one full and one free, and the only reason I am not supporting with another full account is because I do not think the game is worth 50 dollars, not because of the lack of content, but because the devs are pushing out content that are still falling apart and are not doing anything about it.
If these bugs are happening in the free to play areas, do I care? No. Because it is free, there is no cost or commitment by the customers, but we’re paying a ton of money as a huge player base to support Anet hoping that they would at least give us something worth that. No content? I don’t care, at least fix the game and make it worth half the price. We don’t care for previewing BL chests. Fix the game. We don’t care for limited edition miniatures. Fix the game. We don’t care for fancy limited edition mail carriers. Fix the game. There’s no point creating new flashy content when the base is still broken. If the base is still intact and enjoyable, players will be happy with what they have and be more patient with future problems and upcoming content.

Non stop crashing during Temple of Lyssa event.
Happens at least every 60 seconds upon being at the cathedral area

I can see where they were going with it.
The camera blocking is a bi-product of the obstacles, the obstacles themselves are meant to prevent AoE spams, cutting out line of sight etc, to make the game mode more tactical than facerolling.
It would be fixed if they increase the size of the map to balance between providing good movement and obstacles for tactical plays.

I hope they’re taking back Courtyard only to redesign it and hopefully bring it back because I just cannot stand players who deliberately throw the game just so they can play their team deathmatch in conquest.

Can Anet please PLEASE bring back Courtyard?
A lot of conquest matches I’ve played, even in ranked, people are camping a spot and just waiting for kills.
And guess what? People who actually cap points, me for example, have to put up with people who don’t get the idea of the game. So obviously when I’m the only one capping points, I’m easily killed. So of course, they’ll get a higher score than me due to kills, and from that, they starting bashing on actual conquest players for having low scores.
Try to reason with them you say? Can’t reason when they’re deliberately doing what they do knowing that it’ll lose the game.
So I beg of you please bring back Courtyard so that paste eaters will all stay there and never ever come out to plague the community. You’ll do us a great favor, like how you brought back the Alpines. Players will love you for that.

They are a guild with multiple branches. They should already have enough members to do so and if not, there’s the entire Central Tyria region to fish for players.
HoT maps are events on their own.

So like, lately there’s been this pattern of TTS members pulling players from HoT meta maps to do their bosses. I know they’re not breaking rules and whatnot, it’s just not cool man. I don’t know if the leaders are asking them to do this or not, and if not, do know that your members are currently doing this. It’s a pathetic way of getting people to do your events. If you’re lacking members to do your events, do some legit recruitment.
I was in the guild and it was not like this before.

Nope not windowed.

I need help with Overwolf. It used to work fine for me but all of a sudden it just stopped showing up when GW2 is running.

Here’s something that’s been bugging me. Before the guild overhaul, I understand repping generates influence points, used to upgrade the guild.
But now, repping doesn’t do anything. An on top of that, Anet allows a player to have 5 guilds. Meaning players are meant to have more than one guild, and at most 20% “rep”. And if that’s not enough, there’s already a feature that lets players be on all 5 guild chat channels.
AND, a lot and I mean “ay” lot, of guilds demand 100% rep when the guild isn’t even active. By active I mean actually interacting within the community. A lot of guilds just recruit players and don’t do crap about keeping them around. And yet they demand reps.
Guild leaders need to know that members are doing them a favor by joining the guild, not the other way around. Give members a reason to stay and rep. Not demand it because “you’re in our guild you need to do your part”. Do my part in what? Joining and being quiet like everyone in the guild? Say welcome to new players and then never talking to them again?
But yeah I’m sure I got my point across and I’m turning this into a rant post.

My update never got past 0%. But after I made the changes I got to 88% in one night

I literally just got this problem solved just last night when GW2 support helped me.

From their reply:
Navigate to your Guild Wars 2 folder. By default, this will be C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2.
Right-click on “GW2.exe” and select “Create Shortcut.”
Right-click the shortcut and select “Properties.”
In the “Target” line, put whatever is currently there inside quotation marks, then add a space and -assetsrv 174.35.71.9:80 at the end.
Correctly Formatted Example: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe” -assetsrv 174.35.71.9:80
Incorrectly Formatted Example: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe -assetsrv 174.35.71.9:80”
Click “Ok” to save your changes. If you get an error, your target line may not have the correct format. Please try Step 4 again.
Make sure Guild Wars 2 is not running.
Use the new shortcut to launch Guild Wars 2.

I’ve been having this issue since the release of HoT.
My “file remaining” started at over 80,000 and currently it’s at over 50,000
Normally when updating, the file remaining should be decreasing. But not this time. It only seems to change when I turn the launcher off and on again.
Also, it does not download much overnight. During the day I’m always on the computer restarting the launcher to check on the progress, usually decreasing by over 1,000 files each time I restart it. But when I leave it to download overnight, it does not download much. Each morning whenever I check, the file only goes down by less than 100.
I need urgent help with this because even though it’s past the playable stage, the gameplay is extremely laggy due to the content streaming.
