Guild Wars 2

Aproposs Of Fire.4056:

I know what his post was about – I did read it. My post was about the new posters in this thread adding their experiences. I believe it’s important to encourage players to report their bad loot observations

Yes, just please don’t put into that dev’s mouth words he clearly did not say.
Furthermore, I’d like to point out that while I do agree it’s important to show us (the players) that our feedback is valued, it is really not your place to do so. You are neither Anet employee nor a playerbase representative (other than self-claimed that is) now are you?

Aproposs Of Fire.4056:

and show that this is a problem affecting more than just a few players.

I believe that the sheer size of this thread (not to mention the old one), as well as its undying activity during the past two months, can really speak for itself.

Aproposs Of Fire.4056:

I have to take a minute to thank Colin J. for posting in this thread recently. Before that, I believe that many players were hesitant to post their observations due to not wanting to be seen as ‘complainers’.

Since then, we are getting new posters and observations that confirm the issue as Colin did in his post. This can only help to get to the solution quicker.

There are too many new posters to quote but thanks to you all for some very good reporting of your loot experiences in-game!

Thanks Colin.

…Really?

Also: “as Colin did in his post”? Where?

“I posted this elsewhere, but just quickly wanted to update where we stand on this issue:
We’re continuing to look into this and have a team of folks sifting through insane amounts of data based on all of your reports. This is an incredibly time intensive and unfortunately mostly manual process while we work on building tools to streamline this in more automated ways so it’s going to take a while.
We’ll update once we have more tangible information to share.”

Not only is there no concrete information provided, there’s also NO confirmation that there even IS an issue.

It’s been what? A month since this thread was created. 2 months if you count the original thread that’s been killed.
Not only are we asked to do their job, not only are we being treated like unreasonable whining children but the amount of ‘dodging the subject’ is simply outstanding.

The post you so eagerly are thanking for is nothing more than a glorified “yeeeah… we’re ‘looking into’ this”. Which, by the way, at this time is simply ridiculous.

Hello

The issue:
It concerns only one of my characters, my lvl 80 elementalist. Other characters don’t have this problem. Since 2 days ago, whenever I get a party (on my ele) to do the Tixx events, when I try to enter the instance, I get transferred to a separate one. The rest of the party members are together, can see each other, it’s just me that is alone every time.

My ele’s name: Sage Mistmoor, server Underworld[EU]
When it started in BC, I think I was in an overflow server to begin with, but am not 100%, sorry.

When it began:
2 days ago, during the Black Citadel event, I got a party with my ele. We entered the instance (I through the pop-up) and I got stuck on the loading screen. Waited for around a minute and when game still seemed to be unresponsive I terminated the process. After that I swiftly re-started it, loged back in, only to discover that I was kicked from the party.
I found a new one soon after and was the one to enter the instance first. Every person in my party landed in their own separate instance. We went out and tried to go back in one more time, this time someone else went in first and I closed the pop-up and went in through the gate.
Not only did I not get into the same instance as the rest of my party, but while still in a group with them, I got teleported to an instance with another party in it, doing the event. They could see me. Upon closer inspection I noticed the names and it was the very same party I was originally with, when I got stuck on the loading screen and had to exit the game.
I went back to BC and tried one more time, through the pop-up with the rest of my party waiting inside. I got to a separate instance again, this time alone.

This is what’s been happening ever since, every time I try to do Tixx on my elementalist. And it’s not only happening for the BC event, but for the yesterday’s one (Hb) as well.

I am able to get into the same instance with my party on my other characters just fine though.

Could you please advice/do something with this? I would really love to be able to do these on my main (my ele) and by the looks of it, I might not be able to do the final event on her either.

Hey

I am passing this message from another player, who is unable to do so himself due to being suspended and unable to login to forums:

“I get a “Your Guild Wars 2 account has been suspended for an account issue. Please Contact support for information”. Ticket: 121121-001496 (submitted on 21st November 2012) which has not been answered for 8 days."

updated the wiki (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mystic_Forge/Other_Items#Verified_weapon_recipes:) with this recipe. Thank you for discovering it and sharing!

Have one huge favour to ask you, or anyone else who has/will soon have this scepter: could you please make a video showing it? It’s quite hard to tell how exactly this thing behaves with just a few screens. Thank you! ^^

Hello

My PC: Phenom II X4 955 (3.2 gzh), 4 GB Corsair DDR3 @ 1333 mhz, Nvidia Palit GTX 460 2GB, 1920×1080 rez @ 22" screen.

I love it! Love it, love it, love it!

Everything works like a charm, no errors, no weird clipping (besides the usual camera issues :p). There is the slightest drop in FPS (that’s why you should put an FoV slider in the options – so people with lower end rigs can adjust this themselves), however this is really a minor drop and overall the pros out weight that by whole light years.

MajorMelchett.6042:

Regarding vertical position.

So seeing as this is a feedback thread, can we get some idea if you plan to put in a vertical slider to go with this on proper release?.

So we can have this.
The top pics are zoomed in/out defaults of what we have now with the new FoV, as you can see – we can see a lot of the ground (more so on the zoomed out shots).

In the bottom pics i’ve made a mock up of what it would be like if we could adjust the up/down position (vertical slider) by around 1inch which is very similar to the amount we can already do the left/right (horizontal slider). As you can clearly see (again more so on the zoomed out shot) this is much better, we can see much more sky area which would be great for big enemies/bosses and just general good viewing.
—-
Now on the zoomed in shots it’s not really a huge issue (all though i do think it’s much better), but on the zoomed out shots it would be a massive help indeed (more so on certan races).

If you’d prefer me to start another thread on this just let me know.

I agree, we do need a way to see more of the sky and less of the ground. Also, since my character is Asura, when I want to look at the sky I end up with the… back of my character taking almost all of the screen. This must be fixed.

Also, the first person view. You made this beautiful game, please let us enjoy all the views!

A summary:

- new FoV works, looks and feels wonderful,
- the slightest FPS drop in areas like LA (totally worth it though!),
- implement it as a slider/option, so that lower end rig users can adjust the FoV/performance ratio themselves,
- work on a way to move camera so that we see more of the sky and way less of the ground (and can look up without shoving camera up our character’s… backs),
- First Person View!

That’s all. Thank you for listening to us!
Love ya guys :D

It’s better, but we absolutely need

2) the possibility to adjust the VERTICAL POSITION of the camera.

These screens are exactly what I meant with ‘more sky, less ground’! It’s just adjusting the vertical position of the camera a bit (like on the second screen) and it makes such a difference!

Love the idea! After all a lot of time is being focused in this game on acquiring new weapon/armour ‘looks’ so a good way to store and swap them is pretty much a must I’d say.
And this particular idea… well it’s really, REALLY good.

I would most definitely buy and use a lot of those skin extractors!

Anet, please consider this! m ( _ _ ) m

Thank you so much for making this compilation!
I’ve been getting headaches, had my eyes tire very easily and over all had this nasty feeling while playing this game. There are 2 main reasons for this and both are mentioned in this thread: the FoV and camera turn acceleration (and it slowing down with lower FPS).

ANet please, PLEASE let us have a slider so that each player can decide on his/her FoV personally. As it is now, the game really does feel claustrophobic and is making me physically sick, we HAVE to have an option to control these things for ourselves.

All the points touched on in this compilation are current and really, really important. This game is so beautiful, I want to enjoy it, not feel sick and having to exit every once in a while. I don’t want to constantly look at the ground either. Also, having camera turn equally fast and be always responsive (regardless of FPS).

Having an option to use aiming style much like TERA (where you don’t have to have RMB pressed at all times, but use a key to release cursor so that you can interact with the game) would be really nice as well since combat in this game is so dynamic and based on movement.

Please listen to us and do change all those things.

Kind regards,

Well, between my last post (page 13) and now, new nvidia driver came out (306.23) which I installed right away. Got a little bump in FPS (40 on average and between ~30 and ~60 at min/max), which was nice.
But then the latest game patch came out, and now in leveling zones it sits around 30 and in cities it’s the worst I’ve ever had (worse than in beta weekend); 20 on avarage, 30 at max and at moments able to crash to 9. For me this is unplayable, which is a shame since it’s the weekend.
(my rig: Phenom II x4 965, 4gig Corsair ram @ 1333 mhz, Palit GTX 460 2GB custom cooler gpu, win7 x64 fully updated, newest 306.23 nvidia driver)

Problem:

FPS lower than expected for my setup in certain areas (Ksessex Hills, WvWvW battles, explosions – like from a trebuchet etc)

Options and FPS:

Auto detect sets all the settings on high, however I change shadows to medium, keep Vsync off, distance blur as well, AA on/off makes no difference.
My ‘default’ FPS is around 40 (in most pve zones, cities etc). Sometimes it drops to 25-28 for example in Ksessex Hills, and it can go down even below 20 while battling in WvW or with above mentioned explosions.

My PC:

cpu – Phenom II X4 965 (the processor usage never goes above 90% even when in WvW)
gpu – Palit Nvidia GTX 460 2BG with a custom cooler (never gets above 65 C even after hours of playing) with updated drivers
ram – 4GB Corsair @1333 mhz (it’s obviously enough, because according to records it never went beneath ~20% of free memory)
system – Win7 x64, updated
res – playing @ 1080p
