Guild Wars 2

And here people thought the Expansion would be ~30$ ’ish.

“In your face”, NCSoft 2k15.

I’ll just drop in my 2cents:
In my opinion (ears?) “Dragon Hunter” feels overused, maybe a bit boring even and plain.
It might be due to Skyrim that it feels stale, not sure. Maybe because we already have “Hunter” within the game and the word “hunter” echoes and makes new Guardian’s spec name feel … plain?

That’s how I feel about it – was lil’bit baffled by the name when I first read the News.
C’mon Anet, you can do better c:

Like the guy earlier said.
It’s long time ‘till the release. Just skip that muffin to your everyday coffee and throw the money into some piggy-bank. You’ll be surprised how much money you’ll find there once we reach release date.
edit Also you might lose some weight by pure accident :P*

Still trying here.
Unfortunetly I can’t join up big events (ex. Silverwaste’s Legendaries) due to stupid c000005 errors I am getting.
Currently “fighting” the errors with marvelous GM WhiteNoise (somebody buy that guy a coffee and a muffin, he’s had it rough with my issue :P )

What, you guys have never seen combined zero-based alternating length encoded binary optimized for ascii text?

I’d like my brain back, please.

And now to the final issue, WvW vs. GvG:
This is mentioned twice in the RULES:
HERE "disrupting other people’s game experience by not actively participating in matches in good faith

AND HERE " disrupting a PvP match by not actively playing in good faith, or any other form of PvP griefing, exploitation, or abuse

WvW is a game that is defined by 3v3 server matches, with capture and control points, which contribute to points gain every 15 minutes and adds up over the course of a match week to determine a winner for the overall ranking of a designated ladder. This was the intended design of the game, and all the crafting stations, jumping puzzles, bloodlust capture points, map completion points, WXP gains and ranks were integrated into that design, whether you like it or not. Stop complaining.

NO PLACE, in the vision and design and of this game mode is any official implementation of a GVG mechanic that actively contributes to any type of format that determines a server’s given rank. Nor is there any in-game support, arena, map, instance, points tracking, match-making, or venue for this ‘community made’ play style. So for the 15 min to 1 hour gvg’ers are claiming a spot on a map, points gain is being determined bay on official counter. And in doing so, the gvg’ers in question DID NOT “actively participate(ing) in matches in good faith” This can also be loosely interpreted under the “any other form of PvP griefing, exploitation, or abuse” rule (that us up to the discretion of the game designers, not the players). And to believe otherwise is a delusional rationalization that since they paid for the game, then the can do what they want.

GvG just is not endorsed or supported in the game in any form. Players claiming ‘their right’ to do it is never mentioned in the Rules of Conduct.

So stop crying about how Anet is screwing you, stop cussing at the Dev’s, stop calling for employee firings, stop interfering with the WvW players who actually do “have the right” to play the game in its intended form, stop comparing to ‘other’ games that support GvG, stop demanding answers to you self-righteous questions, and stop threating to leave the game or ban gem purchases. In essence, stop acting like petulant children and either play the game as it is intended to be according to the rules, or just go play a different game, as it is blatantly obvious that you are NOT satisfied with playing GW2.
If Anet wanted GvG in the game, none of these discussions would exist. But they didn’t. And with the way the “GvG Community” keeps disrespecting Anet as they do, it may NEVER be implemented into the game. SO DEAL WITH IT!!!

Your point of view is very viable and accurate when it comes to the Rules.
Yet, one can invalidate WHOLE of your posting simply by reading couple of first pages of this thread.
There is a person who smartly said if we all were to take Your point of view, then any form of PvE play, AFK or even small groups roaming just for kills around WvW map COULD be lifted up to the rules as griefers. Just because (as You quoted) they are no “actively participate(ing) in matches in good faith” thus they are not contributing to the main (designed) goal of WvW map.
It’s up to ANET to decide how to “go” with their rules. Rules often cover much more “ground” than it’s really needed, just to give the dev a tool of use in some very enviromental scenarios.

You said “inventory” and “bank” but have you checked the Collections?
Ascended materials have their own tab there now.

I threw a mail at You.
Would like to join with my staff Elementalist. While I do enjoy new Tequatl I’d also like to beat him finally.

How do I report bugs/issues or give my feedback for the LFG Tool?
As far as I know it hasn’t been “fully” released as of yet, so I would guess there is some other way of posting feedback? Or am I supposed only to report bugs with the LFG Tool via ingame/support tickets?

JonathanSharp.7094:

Class balance:
(…)

Elementalist
We’re working on the staff in an effort to make it a stronger support weapon, and we also improved the conjure weapons so that they’re stronger for support. You’ll see improvements to all 4 of the conjure weapons to make them stronger and better for support.

We also increased the healing on Water Blast, the radius on Geyser and we reworked
Unsteady Ground to make it function more like line of warding.

(…)

I love You. Staff Elementalist is my style, no other.
If You so happen to make Staff Elementalist of any use at sPvP I will marry you.

Cheers.

Yeah, if you DC you lose all your “tags”. I had to give up champ farm at Frostgorge due to that…

Oh wow. Just noticed that 22 page long thread about almost same error (189 instead 191).
Wish Treeline.3865 would bump it 10min earlier xD

Me, few others from map chat and a few guildies are expirencing constant disconnections with error shown in the screenshot.

Far Shiverpeaks EU World.
Frostgorge Sound (for me).
Anyone else?
Known issue?

Edit: I’ll write down error code in a second. For some reason screenshotting the error popup gives desktop screenshot O_o

Error Code: 7:11:3:191:101

Well, I’d say try aiming for the very centre of the “conquest circle” after killing the Lord.
Also try to move around the centre in a very small circle, maybe you have some netlag or packetloss and the server thinks you are outside of the “Conquest circle” ? While at it, make sure you are standing inside the “conquest circle” for at least few “ticks” of the progress bar on top of your screen.
Other than that – i have no idea why it would not reward you. Call 911.. i mean Support c:

I’d say skin storage will work same way as the achivment skins work now.
Once you get it you can “withdraw” it out of the panel.

At least that seems viable to me.

For The Horde!

Sorry, couldn’t resist, even tho I’ve never played WoW.

Never happened to me.
Maybe the info panel that shows “Event Complete/Successful” got overwritten by some follow-up event and you didn’t notice?

Yeah, but if you watch the trailer vide Tequatl is still skinless there.
That’s why i am surprised ( and a bit disappointed, i would love Tequatls Wallpaper on my Desktop ) we have fully skinned Godzilla on the adver and wallpaper.

I think it’s part of “time gate” they invented to balance things out.
Tho it looks like unneccessary thing, because you get timers on 2 main crafting components anyways.

I actually loved the idea of knocking players out to another map.
Good laugh.

Tequatl The Sunless is The Skinless Dragon as far as I understand the Lore.
So.. Why the main advert Pictures (and the Wallpaper!!) are showing us a fully skinned and scaled dragon resembling somewhat the Godzilla? (Teqzilla?)

A-Net why? q_q

Can you even harvest while in Tornado form ?
Being able to harvest while transformed to HANDLESS WIND sounds as bug in the first place for me.
:p

Would be helpful if upon buying there was a little pop-up saying “Unique” means only one of the same item can be equipped at all times.

I had same dilemma few days back, luckly LA map chat is not 100% trolls. Otherwise i’d be in same situation as Stonewall is now.

I farm Orr quite frequently, yet to see that bug (ele and warrior).
It must be very enviromental one, so maybe test it out and post step-by-step or possible step-by-step guide for Anet?

Josh Davis.6015:

Going to have this looked at.

Thanks for the reports!

Thanks for answer.
The fact patch notes said all JP’s reward the EF and i’ve done quite a bit of the JP’s all around just to find out i got no EF at some of them have really ruined my day, yesterday.

Still, you might check the way your system determines when to hand out the EF, because pre-latest fix patch i did get EF (4) from Obsidian Sanctum JP. Now it does not reward them. At least for me.

Yeah, 2 days ago i’ve got my first (yay?) goldbot mail.
Oddly enough it was sent to my inactive alt and the tittle of the mail was " I love you ^-^".
Dat crativity.

Can we get an answer on this?
Is it a bug?

Is it intended some of the JPs should not reward the Empyreal Fragments?
If it is, then can we have a list of which JPs will NOT reward them?

I think there was ninja-change added last patch.
Before last patch i’ve done Obsidian Sanctum twice and got 4’ish Empyrean Shards.

Just did it now = > no shards, at all.

Glad You’ve posted solution to the issue. Somebody else might really appreciate that in the future.

Intel i5-3570K @3.4GHz
Gigabyte AMD Radeon 6870 w/ DDR5 1GB vram
8GB DDR3 @1600MHz
Seagate 80GB 7200RPM (dont laugh)
I am using old 13.1 (detail version 9.012-121219a-152192C-ATI) Catalyst yet works fine.

Everthing is fine on my end. Steady (capped) 60FPS @High settings.
I’d do some system sweeping at your place. Maybe just delete all unwanted software, do registry cleaning then turn of Page File (also check if your OS didnt set it to some ridicule size) defragment your HDD and set your Page File back. Doing so will eliminate fragmentation/bad sector on HDD as possible cause.

I’d also check your PSU if all the cables are sitting tight in there, i had once (not with HD6870 tho) a particular issue where g-card would run “like it is about to die” despite being brand new -happened to be faulty “extra 6-pin power” cable. Up to that day i was convinced PC wouldnt boot up without that extra power cable attached to GPU.

Check your Catalyst Control Centre.
Here are my settings for HD6870 with witch i am bottlenecking it a bit, so it wont go madass skyrocket with FPS (easily hits 90FPS out of towns). I like my PC cool’n’quiet.

Edit: Don’t forget it might be driver itself not detecting GW2.exe properly. In which case you might want to add New Profile for it at the CCC panel.
First thing i’d fiddle with would be supersampling and AA inside the game. I remember seeing some posts claiming those 2 are not working well with Ati cards.
Edit2: Here, 10s Google solved similar case http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/938738-guild-wars-2/64383504 Might be a tip to check 3rd party software which might be not in love with your new card.

More information about your PC.
Current one you’ve provided is insufficient, might be so many things we could write you a book.
Wild guess? Your PSU is not powerful enough or too old and failing and/or you didnt turn off 2d/3d profiling for GW2 which might be detected wrongly as 2d app thus the drivers are limiting the GPU usage.

John Smith.4610:

Overall yes we know there’s a change in short run income for players, though it’s not as severe as speculated. No, we aren’t surprised. Yes, there are plans in place to make sure the economy doesn’t experience permanent, hyper-inflation.

As far as the median numbers go, remember that how much information I can give out on the forums is often very limited. I do my best to give you a picture that you can work with. I described exactly how to take the one number I gave out and create an accurate model of what’s happening. The uncertainty in your model is unfortunately unavoidable (but can be minimized) as I can’t always post the full picture of everything that’s happening.

I certainly do hope there is WAY more behind than you are allowed to say/post.
Mainly due to really simple observations:
- Invasion is one, every hour
- One main world and at least one Overflow gets filled with players during invasion
- I “earn” around 4-6g (vendored greens, blues +gold from containers) per Invasion

So, if total amount of players per map is (wild guess, i have no clue about real number) 150 and everyone earns 4-6g just like mem then we get 600-900g generated per hour. And that’s just from one world.
Again, this is with my guessed amount of players per map, the amount of gold generated per hour is mainly dependant on main world and overflow capacity, which i do not know.

I’ve joined up somewhat over 2 months ago, and the GoldToGem ratio was around 2g60s to 2g90s. Now it’s closing in to double that.

Edit: Again, this is only GENERATED gold aka gold out of thin air. Excluding value of crafting materials.

Most likely IT IS YOR connection.
Make a ticket to support, they will give you links to all the software that will show how many packets your connection is eating (they are more reliable source of software links than some random user -me-).

I’ve had very similar issue. Happened to be 100% packet loss every 30-40s for 1s duration that was causing all that. My ISP claimed they had nothing to do with that (even tho the first “jump” was the one eating the packets, and the first “jump” is always your ISP server/switch/hub/whatever) and strangely enough day after my call everything began to work as it used to – no packet loss whatsoever.
Edit: Sorry for terrible grammar, having an epic bad-weather-caused headache over here.

Can’t log in.

I’m not much of a poster. Yet the first encounter of the Invasion has… encouraged me to post this.

I am amazed by the new monster’s models, really I don’t even want to think how much work you guys had to put in these but the LOD of them is amazing!
I wish I knew who designed and modeled those, because I am Your new fan, whoever You are mysterious designer.

Models: 10+/10

PC:
1) P8Z77-V LX
2) Gigabyte HD6870 1GB DDR5
3) Intel i5 3750k
4) Seagate Barracuda 7,200rpm sata 500GB
ISP:
El-Net 4MB/1MB down/up (megabyte, not bit), cable Ethernet

Let me point it straight away: I’ve joined up GW2 like 3 weeks ago. Game was running flawless – no errors, no disconnections, no stuttering no FPS issues or crashes.

That changed with The Bazaar update, i am expiriencing heavy lags at quite regular intervals. Every 30-40s i get 2-4s net lag. Yes, netlag not FPS.

It is so bad i am getting accused of some sort of hacking, i even suspect i got killed once by GM -if there are any- (was in city, no damage in log yet i insta died while chatting and walking around crafting district) suspecting .. i dont know, bot?

Now it got even worse, i can’t do a Dungeon run without 4-10 disconnections. I get kicked out to Character Selection screen or i simply get black screen with some error about lost connection and left with that.

No, i did not install anything. This is my gaming rig – here is GW2 and OS. Nothing more.
No, i called my ISP they did not change anything, not even replaced already malfunctioning switch or hub.

While i get netlags and disconnections and open up a browser (to see if it’s the game itself lagging or it’s my ISP failing) and download something, open some flashy site (like newgrounds.com) or do some pingtest.net or speedtest.net it all is good as always been.

Help? :c
