Guild Wars 2

joaosequeira.2184:

This wont fix the crushses from people who don’t have a based x64 Computer, my computer is 32bit based, i can’t run x64 SO on my machine… and i have been constant crashes all day since Hot….

Try dissabling some graphic effects on the game, the new maps are a heavy load on graphic assets and are big than usual. This is also a problem due to the fact that some calculations that can be done on GPU are beeing done on on the CPU. CPU is a huge bottleneck on gw2, even if you have a top of the line GPU, if your CPU is weak, you will have problems(this is my problemas, I have an i3).
When the 64bit client is out, I would like Anet to adress this issue.

Submit crashs to the 64bit cliente beta FAQ page.
Here is a simple explanation: 32bit aplications can only use up to 3.5Gb of RAM. Before the limites is reached parte of the game assets will be writen to the virtual memory on your hard disk. This will sometimes cause a crash due to lack of both memory or error when assets are transfered to the HDD, speacialy on the new maps.
The new 64bit EXE means that the game can now access more than the 3.5Gb of RAM, it ill now write less to the HDD and the possiblity of a crash is minor. This also means an decrease in load times due to the fact that writes less in the HDD and more of the game assets are avaliable to be fast acessed in the RAM.
Overall, when Out of beta, the 64bit cliente should behave better than the 32bit client.

I will try it when I get home, thanks Anet.
Info for trying it: backup your gw2 folder, for safety reasons, if something bad happens you will have a backup.
DirectX 11/12 will be improbable, as for DirectX 10 is possible, I remember in closed beta (or open beta) there was DirectX 10, but due to the checking software runing in the background to check for problems, it was unplayable.

As long as they have it, I don’t mind buying it on launch day if the box is in the same style as the first one.

Is there going to be a retail box of the expansion?

I hope that someone can explain this to me in simple term. I have the core game since the beginning, that 3 years, according to what is in the pre-purchache site, if I buy the Standard edition I don’t have access to the free slot because I didn’t bought the game this year, is this correct? Is Anet giving anything if I buy the standard pre-release to add to my existing game or if I buy the retail version at game launch? (I don’t care about BW, I like the box and I hope that its as good as the first)

I’m having a problem updating my GW2 client, here is the error:

Anet, any news on changing the tonics that were converted from the town cloths back to skins that can be applied at least to the armour or that can be died and combined?
I and it seem a lot of players want to know so that I can see if I want a gem refund or not depending if you change it.

Sorry, but thats ridiculous. It’s not the first time you complain about updates being more than 100 Mb. Most people complain about not having enough updates, you are the first i see complaining about having big updates. Simply get a better connection or plan, if you can’t have, start your update some minutes before you can play. If you can’t do one of the 2, i can only ask you why are you playing an MMO when its expected to have regular updates. If you didn’t read the update page, i can inform you that there have been massive changes is several maps as well as skills, it is bound to be a big update.

Now its easy compared to 1 or 2 months ago. You kill a champion in towers, you gain badges, you kill a veteran in camps, you get badges and that’s only the beginning. Rate drops from players kills have increased and with the new level up system for WvW you gain badges each time you level up. I had around 260 before they implemented this changes and it took a lot of time, but i was doing it for fun. Now i started doing it for the legendary and in 4 days got the rest. 50 badges per day around 4h of game play, 1 of the days got more because in EB the enemy zerg decided to invade my servers castle and it was an enemy killing feast XD.
See, its easy, just find a group to play and you can have fun doing it.

It seems that going from LA to Rata Sum resolved the problem, but to Gendarran Fields didn’t.

It seems the guilds are buged. I’ve seen in the forum that the bank doesn’t work and i can confirm that.
Also, you cant do any upgrade, tried all the things like stand down and it still doesn’t work. Guild weapon and armor not working to.

Good news for WvW, hope this is implemented fast on PvE. Some META events have been a pain to do. Just the graphics changes done in WvW on PvE to begin would be great, the shear amount of players in some events really take my computer to the max, not only that, guesting on those events furthers the problem. Its goes from my hardware limitations to culling in a matter of seconds.

There Shall not be mounts!
Seriously, want to go fast? Use a waypoint, ANet isn’t going to add mounts to the game, ever! Don’t know why this always turns into this discussion, its even off topic.

This will destroy a class that is based on AoE only due to WvW/sPvP complains!? Eles are weak and can’t even face someone alone without dieing really fast in WvW, in PvP most use a D/D system because AoE is utterly ridiculous because its easy to avoid, doesn’t do to much damage and coldowns and cast times are to big to follow a combo fields.
What happens in WvW is that people know how to play and how to use AoE as field deniers, this doesn’t do damage, it just prevents people from passing witch is easy to avoid with dodge and skills that classes have.
-AoE in line of single target!? So I do aroud 900 damage on a undead with staff, my field does 1200 damage to each target, so if i have 5 targets now i do only aroud 200 damage to each target. Ridiculous damage, not even worth casting it.
Single target damage stand out? So classes that are supposed to be single target damage and have some AoE will get a boost!? Kill AoE based classes, they are not needed anymore.
But wait, those two are the opposite of each other!? No, they simple didn’t say directly “we are nerfing the Ele AoE and powering up other classes AoE” in the frontal way.
Dungeons. AoE doesn’t kill everything, I would like them or someone to try doing a dungeon with 5 Eles and see how it goes, all with staff. If you survive just tell me the history off it.

Nice idea, this is a feature that should be added +1

Thanks for letting us know about the login issue, everyone. We’ve reported it to the developers and they’re checking into it. ~RB2
They have been informed

Same here at my home, 2 people playing and got the same error. I was at LA.

Having the same problem as well as my friend here at home. At first i tough it was a Lan problem, i restarted the router and i still cant get past the character selection.

They have a tendency to attack fist the walls. Did it on my second try. We just had 2 people defend with rifles, the other 3 building. When toxx appeared just 2 killing it and the others building.
As a tip, place walls around the dolyaks, build weapons on the outer circle a place a wall near them, it will be easy.

A counter would be nice, not that i have problem with having it on CET. When its only on PST thats a problem, i get really confused whit that time zone. I live in a GMT zone so its easy to the the mat even in summer as most countries in europe have summer time.
Its better to do a script that when you introduce the time in GMT on the forum, it will automatically convert to the time zone where you open the forum on the browser.

Just look at this, they are so close that you cant see all of them.

The event was a lot of fun. People would laugh when they got killed in mass, they get raised and the chain events were nice and easy to understand. It seem that the game has a mob draw problem due to the quantity of players in the area, aside from that, it was a good time spent.
