Guild Wars 2

Many threads debated this in the past but nothing has been done, and likely nothing will be.

leungclj.4915:

you cant really call it “Heart of the Mist” when you have multiple “heart”, where heart means the center.

should call it “Valve of the Mist”

Multiple dimensions or parallel worlds. That is why.

No its not. You have to press ALT + F4 to see it appear again.

according to OP’s logic. might as well nerf divinity runes because it has more stats than any other runes.

Does windowed mode work better?

jonnis.2946:

Actually it just updated, seems that it didnt take them into account until just now, weird

hamsters were on lunch break.

If they left because of no XP, then they didn’t really like sPVP to begin with.

kirito.4138:

i don’t qualify for try outs cuz im not 18+

=[

It’s k kirito, you’ll get to play with the big boys soon!

But GW3 will be out by then.

Traps are meant to be there to help determine which of the team has more noobs.

put a bank in the mist, and remove the portal =]

ill miss it. should never go!

Every system is different and Win8 might not like a certain driver/component of your system (e.g motherboard chipset etc)

I would try underclocking the GPU and see if it is more stable.

Olli.6137:

Does anyone know what will happen to the people who are rank 50+ already?
What about the new tournament chests? Would be pretty unfair not giving them to the people who had been playing pvp for over a year…

lol being fair is never in anet’s philosophy at least in the PVP realm.

For gaming you won’t see much difference between a i7-3770 and i5-3550/3570. Probably not worth going i7 unless you have specific applications that use hyperthreading like video editing etc and use it a extensively.

Get a Coolmaster Hyper212+/Evo. Best low cost cooler you can get, cheap at $15-25 it will let you overclock 4.4-4.6 very well.

Justin gets MVP award.
Is there a wall at anet for employee of the month? Can I get a field-trip tour?

try doing a -repair on gw2 (see Part 1.1 here)

Formula: (source)
Damage done = (weapon damage) * Power * (skill-specific coefficient) / (target’s Armor)

Lets Assume the following:

• Dagger = 981
• Backstab coefficient = 2.405 (source)
• Trait coefficient = 1.15 (Deadly Art dagger training & Exposed Weakness)
• Crit coefficient = 2 (base is 1.5 for crits, but with gear/traits you can easily get another 0.5 or more)
• Target Armor = 1000 (naked or upscaled lowbie player)
• Power = 2000

10,852 = 981 * 2000 * (2.405 * 2 * 1.15) / 1000 (this is without consumable/sigil)

Now a decently geared player will have about 2000 or more armor, so you will likely not get 10k dmg and get closer to 5K ball park range. In WvW there are plenty of upscaled player with low armor values, so in those cases backstab can wreck havoc on them.

I want to join Howtobasic and then be part of both [Yolo] and [yolo] tags.

Wait till the next patch which will remove the Halloween tPVP reward and bring back chests where you can get paid tokens again.

Cuz people find winning more enjoyable than losing

Hotjoin would be more balance without the ability to pick your team. There was a time when the game bugged and wasn’t allowing people to choose their team. Was nice. Very few one sided matches. If friends want to be on the same team, they can join a custom server.

Vincesco.8340:

they finially have to implement higher champ titels… like 1. titel 150wins // 2. 500wins //3. 1000 wins…..

You could go for Champion Brawler title. I’m at 59% completion LOL.

erwin.5694:

can you help me please I can not install a Guild Wars 2 I insert the first CD after first launch in 10 308kb They stop and he has other screen appears and the rest 0kb/0kb close screen plz help me

It is not installing because your GMA 3100 integrated graphics is below minimum requirements.

Samurai vs Cowboy

A samurai appears. He leaps and jumps around doing crafty aerobatic moves and lands infront of a Lv1 Cowboy. Startled and intimidated the cowboy flips out his gun and goes pew pew. Mr. Samurai falls down ever so slowly.

Samurai says to cowboy “Noob cowboy with guns. NO HONOR!”

Read this to understand why your system can’t run at max settings.

TL;DR – your gpu is a low budget card. I bought one for $15 after rebate for my HTPC, works great, but not for games made with in the past few years.

Just think of sPVP as a side hobby project they work on whenever they have spare time.

Your GT 420 is the weak link atm.
http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpukittenml

Look at that chart. It ranks about the same as the integrated intel HD4000 which is just a smudge above minimum requirements.

If you want to play with high settings, you will need a beefier GPU. I recommend a Radeon 7770 since its cheap ($70 after rebate) and the most bang for your dollar atm.

Look at this thread and see what GPU other people are using and their FPS.

GW2 auto detect and put you all on low setting because that is what your card is capable of for decent playable fps.

manveruppd.7601:

These people need to stack the odds by giving the opponent free kills in order to WIN AT HOTJOIN? How bad are they???

Also, you do realise that the win bonus in hotjoin is TINY, and that if you get autobalanced away from the winning team YOU STILL GET IT right?

Of all the problems this game has, I would rank the bushes not being comfortable enough for the outlaw mobs hiding in them in the Kryta starting zone higher than this.

Your missing the point! It ruins a fun fair 5 vs 5 good match not just the win bonus and you get moved from teammates. Pvp hot join is no more than something to join for free rank points rather than to actually play.

There is no such thing as fairness in hotjoin. Closest thing you can come by are soloq/teamq

HATS! HATS! HATS!…. just like TF2. Just do it!

The netgear 6300 does have SPI feature. If you can’t find a way to disable it, try using dd-wrt to replace the router’s firmware.

Why not just use google and read up on the tons of articles/forums/guides on building a desktop PC?

Here i will jump start you with a starter guide.

DarthDragonVanquisher.6912:

I am saddened to write this forum post.. I had been hoping that the day would not come when i would have to say goodbye to 5 high end pvp friends at once.

I wish i had 5 friends

They will add replay feature it if you buy 1,000,000 gems.

YourFriendMarvin.4127:

Please learn what a hotjoin hero is before posting something inaccurate.

A hotjoin hero is one that runs around resing and saving people from chieftan/svanir then disappear without a trace… err i think. who knows im a PVE Hero in the mist

System specs and error log/codes would be nice to see.

fugazi.5139:

MMmmmmmmmm. that quaggan.

Buy me one of these!

GW2 does not even come close to using 120GB of bandwidth. Normal gameplay uses very little bandwidth (in the Megabytes per month). Only time GW2 will use GBs of bandwidth is installing it for the first time without the DVD. About 15GB.

You might have someone in your home downloading stuff (video/movies etc) or a neighbor leeching your connection if your wifi is open.

If you are the only one using the internet you can use http://www.softperfect.com/products/networx/ to monitor your bandwidth usage.

If you have a multiple computers connected, they will all have to have it installed, or your router needs bandwidth monitoring tools. (I use DD-WRT)

• C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local is the temp location GW2 uses if it does when installing.
• Where did you copy your “Guild Wars 2” folder to, might need to check permission
• Move the game folder to the root directory or another drive
• Run as admin
• Delete your local.dat

Should add skyhammer to team arena tourney!!!!

I love this map.

search on http://forums.logitech.com, there are many other people with your disconnect issues.

I want to be perma R0

80 is so 2013.

81 is the new thing

My document link when you open through the start menu or else where is just a pointer to the physical location which previously you had stored on a 2nd HD. But that HD has died so now the link is broken.

Should still have a My document folder in C:\User\<username> or just right click my documents from the library

Aberrant.6749:

Wall of text + ragequit post… not sure if trolling or just trying to punish everyone else out of anger…

i think your missing the trick.

if you look at it for the right amount of time and cross your eyes a cool image appears.

Evan Lesh.3295:

You broke da codez :/

Can you find Neo to un-break da codez???

I R Stuck At 81 and can’t get anymore rank-up reward chests.

Menzies The Heretic.3415:

Someone explain this

There are 3 red boxes

Check to see if you got the latest BIOS version. You can try underclocking to see if its more stable or play with the ram voltage/settings. Varies with boards what you can twiddle with.

leungctm.1362:

Finally New patch and I LOVE IT !! i have waited so long for this coming ! keep up the good work anet !! i am sure this will definitely attract more people to play GW2 pvp!!

IMO, its the best patch ever! Saves us from having to salvage more tourney chests! (R.I.P marvin’s fingers)

Both your CPU and GPU will suffer in GW2, but your GPU right now is more limiting. If you don’t have money to upgrade both, you can start with a better GPU for now.

See Part 2.2 here to see what you can get within your budget
