Guild Wars 2

Narcemus.1348:

I don’t mean to hijack the topic, but it has the same sort of meaning. Do we have any sort of reason for the sudden appearance of the giants in game? I mean I know there are ‘giants’ in GW1 but these creatures are merely like twice the size of our characters. The giants that have appeared in areas in GW2 are so tall that our characters barely reach their mid shin. Has anyone found any lore on this?

At this moment I don’t think there is any lore on the gargoyles, but feel free to prove me wrong. I mean for all we know it could be tied to Halloween, lol.

Giants don’t exist anymore… They are long gone from Tyria, they were once a powerful creatures who ruled the world.

Cantha and Elona were so amazing in GW1, I loved the look and the feel of it and to be honest I was wondering where did cantha and elona go and if any of the closed doors with guards around the tyria will open up and offers us a trip to cantha or elona!
Now when I see that ANet actually made a canthan distric but had to destroy it because of NCSofts thinking that asian market doesn’t like that makes me so so sad… I mean, even if asians don’t like mixing something that looks like their architecture, it’s a fantasy world and it’s canthan architecture, same goes for Elona. It’s really not a great move…

It’d be really great if ANet changes their minds about it and brings that back. It would really lessen the nostalgia and it’d make GW2 better because now when I found out about this GW2 just doesn’t feel the same again… It’s like something just died and now when I login to GW2 I don’t feel excited and amazed. I’m sad and I’m thinking, darn, so we really won’t see any of Elona or Cantha in future expansions? All those heroes I really loved, I won’t see anyone again.
It feels like a giant slap in the face. I mean… “A wizard should know better!” – because now, the magic is kinda gone. :’(

I just don’t get it why change this casual friendly stats progression and force people into grinding this particular dungeon to get “slightly” better stats. Can’t you add those ascended gear items into every dungeon then? Give us “hero explorable” mode and put ascended armors in that dungeon rewards as well?

I don’t like this … Voted

since the dev post says..it counts the players that are actually playing live at that moment..I fail to see how this could be more succinct. Since you can not play multiple toons from the same account at the same time.

I tought that exact thing as well, after reading the post… But then I read this discussion on 3rd party website forum where people brought this confusion and thus I opened up this topic. Again, I guess.

Hello,

I’ve found this post:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Server-Populations/first#post703192

regarding server population filter.
Now I’m unsure and just out of curiousity wanted to know the following.

When a server has status “Full”, and let’s say Adam is playing on server, let’s call it, Server1 and he has 5 characters on his account at that moment.
Does that server population indicator count all of Adams characters or just Adams account no matter how many characters he has on his account at that given moment? Is that indicator counting players which are offline but have this Server1 selected as their Home World?

When in Eternal Battlegrounds I get frequent disconnections without any error code.
The message which I get is the standard it could be your firewall thing.

Started happening today (24.09.2012.), I never had issues before up until now.
I have yet to see if this is happening in every battleground maps.

Anyone else has this issue and how did you fix it, if you did?

Well almost all of the FX processors are Black Edition with unlocked multiplier… So why bother buying one if you are not going to overclock it^_^ when you O/C they perform quite well for what they worth tho

I also mention this game almost unplayable on Phenom II’s.

No it’s not… I’ve got AMD Phenom II x6 1055T which is not overclocked.
I get around 50-60 FPS all the time with almost everything maxed at 1920×1200 resolution.
EDIT:
50-60 FPS in PvE
30 FPS minimum in w3

AMD Phenom II x6 1055T
nVidia GTX 550Ti
8 GB DDR3 1066 Mhz

I have nVidia 550Ti GTX and it runs really smooth with beta drivers installed.
I’m getting around 60 FPS in PvE and around 30 FPS when I’m in fights in W3.
Before I installed the beta drivers the game was running really slow and it had alot of graphical issues like terrain flickering, water not displaying properly and some texture details on characters as well.
Now it’s running like a charm.

Edit: INB4 ‘my nvidia card runs fine!’

Regarding this, you claim nVidia cards don’t run the game well… So what did you expect?

Beta drivers won’t compromise your PC stability.
For instance, when I was using those drivers on my 550Ti Nvidia gfx I had around 30-35 FPS in PVE and around 10 FPS when fighting in WvWvW.
When I updated the drivers it gave me a pretty decent boost and now I have around 60 FPS most of the time in pve and around 30 ish in WvWvW. Not to mention it’s not only the FPS, the game runs far better. The flickering terrain effect now doesn’t occur anymore and few other issues I had with water or character armor details are now looking far better and are showing properly.

The drivers actually improved some of the other games as well. Just because it says BETA doesn’t mean it’s not working properly.
