Guild Wars 2

For the past few weeks, my connection issues were never resolved. I constantly get disconnected in PVP, WvW and even Open World. Tried what the dev told, Port Forwarding, DNS configuration, WinMTR, etc. I’m tired of the email exchange that results to nothing but blaming the other guy. Blame my ISP, blame bad hops etc. This never happened with the other games I played (CS:GO, Diablo). Only with GW2.

Sad, I do love playing this game but this might be the end.

This Telia.Net connection that I see in the trace results shows huge packet loss before connecting to Anet. I’ve been playing for 3 years + now (just received my 3rd birthday gift) and never did I get this type of issue before. Only after the Living World 3 update.

Thank you to the GMs who attended my concern, but no, issue was not resolved. 8 disconnects in the last 30+ minutes made me decide.

I’ll still login for the daily rewards. It becomes a habit I suppose (talk about 3 years). I still hope this connection issue get fixed, not for myself though. But for the new guys who bought your game. They deserve better.

There you go.. now what should be done here?

mcjolliboy.1769:

Hate my Druid… I deal damage, heal, cleanse, AoE CC, boost my team’s damage, survive onehelluvamassiveattackfromcrazyasszerg, stealth, water field, break stun every 10 secs… (whew!)

Effin hate my Druid right now… too much things to do, so anti-casual….

Dr. Strange … I think I’m the only one excited to watch that movie next year.. and yes he is a Mesmer

luzt.7692:

well done, just that toxic back item doesn’t really match.

Yeah.. I just couldn’t find something for the backpiece that would match the Namekian Theme.. I find the toxic backpiece suitable for the Green, Purple color combo of Piccolo

I started a Final Fantasy Cosplay Thread before… now I decided to create a Dragon Ball Cosplay Let me start with my Dark Lord Piccolo.. I hope to see some of your creative inputs .. Cheers!

I pick that food due to:

Cheaper (almost 2s difference :P)
I hate stuns
Extra toughness for more Crit Damage

Omnom gives life-steal and precision, however since you will be casting most of the time (not sure about the difference tho, i hate math too) plus the classic cleansing wave, survival shouldn’t be too much of a concern. As for precision, you will be getting high uptime for Fury and 60% CritChance is I think enough.

I could be wrong, but this pretty much work for me. Should you have better options, I’m open to suggestions.

I run this Zerk/Cele build

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vFAQFAWhcMoxhFOwzB8RMQAYUW4IEFiCQAYAUrhkYZA-T1xHwADeAAa2fYpyP36AmrEEwFAQv6PBAQAu5NDAH9oH9oH9odzjezjezjWKAf0aB-w

Messing with my Zerk/Cele – “stun me not” build… I can replace my Fire to Earth for more defensive orientation, but will lower down my damage to just around 2.1K… but the key in this build is might stacking with fire, fury uptime and heal/cleanse on demand… I just don’t want any pesky warriors or stun mes to completely whack me.. Just might stacking, healing, dodging, and burning all the way… who knows, carpal will be with you soon

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vFAQJAoYhcMoxhFOwzB8RMQAYUW4IEFiCQAYAUrhkYZA-TFyHwAa2f4nyg5KB1r+zgHAwSleu1DA4EAEAABwRP6RP6RPa38o38o38olCwHtWA-w

Find the hidden Mickey!

Met Fat Sephiroth in LA earlier. Some cool pics with Fat Sephiroth partying with good fellas! Fun meeting you guys, hope to see around LA again. GWxFF FTW!

Glad to see more FF fans coming out to share their creativity keep it coming please ^_^

metaldude.4132:

Wating for the Charr who becomes Red XIII

A charr running like Red in WvW is….. Legendary!

Yep that Vivi hat is not available anymore T_T

Dear Anet,

Please bring back that witch hat and put spiky hair option for my Cloud, Thanks… LOLz

Miku.6297:

Hes not mine, it’s from the Cosplay character post…

Goose.5196’s Vivi

Any idea what garment he is wearing? Looks cool!

MidnightX.6294:

Fashiontime ^-^
alot Lightning, a tifa and a sephiroth
(ignore my model’s bodyshape, i dont have many human-charackters)
- maybe i can do more later

I like your Tiffa fashion mix <3 So cute!

You guys are awesome! Wanna see a Vivi too

Miku.6297:

Serah Farron ^^; I have so many outfits I’ll just post a few.

I’m going to be making a few new ones later looking at LR outfits.

Now, that much of Serah garment collection, sure means you are a FAN!

Dante.1763:

I found a wild tifa lockheart one time in TA. and yes that was her name.

You found a lovely girl bro, lucky you!

TheFool.4589:

What class would lightning most likely be?
At first I think she would be a theif….but then a guardian/warrior?

I am thinking more of Guardian, specially the skill effects seems great on Lightning… whatever it may be she will always be adorable to me <3

MidnightX.6294:

Lightning and Yuna

Great stuff! Do you have male characters from FF world too?

Male chars are hard to make, because all the Hair sux.
Well, here we go:

-Sephiroth
-Cloud (lol xD)
-idk his name

That Sephiroth is mean looking! Well that Cloud made me smile like a kid

MidnightX.6294:

Lightning and Yuna

Great stuff! Do you have male characters from FF world too?

Licennia.4783:

Amazing characters~ I also made Snow a while ago for the guildwarsdyejob subreddit… and a pretty awful Lightning.

Some of my friends did other FFXIII characters. :’)

Great job on these pics!

coso.9173:

wow, amazing!
what’s the first sephiroth top?
I’ve been looking for something like that.

It is a heavy gladiator armor I still prefer the Tyrian Coat over it, but only applicable on medium or leather characters

Akikaze.1307:

mcjolliboy.1769:

Hopefully by the time Revenant comes out, more faces, hair and armors will be available too. As for Snow, your Serah will be lonely without him

Ta dah! Making it ‘Snow’.

Goodness! You really did it! Congrats Bro!

Akikaze.1307:

Here’s my attempt at Serah Farron from FF13
If only leather armour designs wasn’t so limited, could be better.

Great Job! Will you do Lightning and Snow too?

Thanks. I have a Lightning design in mind, might make her a Revenant so it’s on hold for now. Didn’t think about Snow, I’ll need a free char slot first before trying.

Hopefully by the time Revenant comes out, more faces, hair and armors will be available too. As for Snow, your Serah will be lonely without him

Wolfheart.1879:

Not so much Vivi but I think the black wings and possibly the phantoms hood or similar could be an interesting take on Black Waltz No. 3. Loved that guy.

I love those guiz. The Airship cutscene in FF9 with the Waltz attacking and chasing everyone is one of my favorite FF moments.

You make me wanna play FF9 again ~_~

Doggie.3184:

Where’s Vivi and Freya?

Will do that too in the future if time and Gems permit :P However, I’ve seen a lot of Vivi’s already and I’d love to have them here and show it to the community.

Gee, Thanks Chris

Sharing with everyone my FFVII in-game cosplay. Sorry if I may have botched your favourite character’s appearance. These are the best I can do so far Options for garments and faces are quite limited.

I would love to see your own versions of FF characters too. Seen a handful of Vivi and Sephiroth roaming Tyria previous weeks. So, why not show it here if you have one? :P

Hope ANET comes up with better face customization options for us. Cloud, Squall and others will be easier to build if more options to choose from.

Bump! Bump! BUUUUUUUMMMMMP!

Hi Guys,

I’m playing a level 77 Ranger and exploring Straits of Devastation. While swimming, the game crashed. I tried logging back in with the same character, loading screen is up, but game crashes again. Tried many times, no luck, still crashes. Hope you could resolve this issue. Thanks. Attached the Crash Report. Thanks.
