Guild Wars 2

Yep, old launcher was simply far more epic than this one.

Turbo Whale.1738:

The highest backstabs I’ve seen within the past month were around 8k in sPvP against pure glass cannon. You say you don’t know thief well yet you can so arrogantly imply they are OP.

Hmm I ate a 8.5k backstab while having 1.8k toughness day before patch….

iAsuno.9654:

Try backing up GW2.dat and reinstall the game. Just paste your backed up GW2.dat. worked for me when i had this problem.

This helped. Thanks.

Burner.1643:

(optional for whatever reason) backup local.dat (documents/gw2), delete and try !

didn’t help :/

Ashley Segovia.8276:

Does the launcher start installing an additional 10 mb of data every time you open the client

Yes.

or are you getting stuck at this screen?

No. I can login without problems after that.

Additionally, I would suggest trying to disable your User Account Control

I always have UAC disabled on my computer so that advice wasn’t helpful unfortunately.

btw im on win 8 x64 and run as admin doesn’t help

any news ?
.

Here you go

:)

Hi. I’m having a problem with launching the game. Each time i run the game, launcher starts downloading about 10 megabytes. It never proceeds to patch the game when there’s no actual patch, it just does that downloading part before like in the picture.

I cannot believe people still trying to argue that necro fears should be 2-3seconds. It’s kittening absurd, it would be so op, wouldn’t even be funny. Necro can get +100% fear duration, so that 2seconds turns into 4 and 3seconds goes all the way upto 6, that is broken. It would be ok if doom and reapers mark went up to 1.5sec, but no more then that.

I often feel like I’m the only non-bias necro around…

so by that logic ranger pets, warriors and thieves are completely op and broken, sure its fine for biggest burst class in game to have 3 sec aoe fear but necro would be op with 2 sec because he can trait it for 100% more, to bring it to a godlike 4 sec (not to mention losing valuable stuff in traiting and gearing like that). Lets ask a logical question, can necro inflict same or larger amount of hurt on others than thief, warrior or ranger in same amount of time ? NO. I rest my case…

Teknomancer.8475:

Someone already made a similar fear joke earlier.

yup, missed it :/

Ezekeel.2837:

This has to stop immediately! Nobody wants the necro forum to turn into a place ruled by fear.

No worries about that, everyone would be back in a second anyway….

pretty much agree with most of it

you mean vice versa …

Our only tpvp viable spec is conditionmancer, that spec is achieved by going full 30 pts in curses and distributing rest in death magic, blood magic, or soul reaping, depending on what flavor you like. Spite as “power” tree is useless due to power not affecting condition dmg and most of minor and major traits are not related to conditions. Other builds with dagger and axe aka power spec is simply put worse because no matter how you spec you will always end up being in significantly worse position than any other class doing that spec. Minion master doesn’t work mostly because of pet ai.

Well to me logic dictates that if you’re a thief and you’re stealing signature ability of some class you should obviously be less proficient at it….

So, to be brief and precise, am I the only one here that finds it very amusing how thiefs with their class unique ability “steal” get a 3sec aoe fear when stealing from necro, while necros themselves have only 2 fears 1 second each ? Its kinda not logical.
