Guild Wars 2

Seems like this would be posted elsewhere but I didn’t see it, so here goes.

I just got toTarir The Forgotten City though it was from the northern cliff face and saw and event going on below so I started to hang glide down. Then a movie cut scene came on, which I always watch those through all the way because they are cool, and found myself dead once it ended. I imagine that i kept gliding down till the timer ran out and fell.

I think this would likely happen every time you are hang gliding and enter a movie cut scene from above.

Wasn’t the end of the world, just more of a little annoyance.

Hasn’t happened to me and I’ve had the game installed on five different machines over time.

I’m sorry, OP, that your game keeps freezing. I recommend you try to work with support to figure out what’s going on. It’s possible it’s the game, but it’s also possible it’s something on your system. Some anti-malware programs cause hiccuping in some (but not all) applications, for example. I had a friend that had a hiccup that turned out to be due to some program checking for an update in scheduled tasks.

Regardless, if it’s not the game: support can help track it down. And if it is the game, they’ll need to work with you directly anyhow, to get data on what exactly is going on.

Good luck.

Cant fix what they cant replicate. You want them to fix something? You actually need to provide more information than just “yo kitten broke, fix it” to them. Perhaps you should take a look at your own system first. It’s far more likely your own stuff is borked in some fashion and causing issues. Seems the case when you seem disinclined to provide any sort of information.

For the past month plus I keep seeing either same bright back lighting eye sore or new ones appear, please take care of this or I’m going to start taking screen shots and make a Facebook page dedicated to the anomalies of Tyria.

Still broken after 3 years…….if you can’t fix it, please remove this event from the Frenzy III:Rage collection.

Could we please get acknowledgement from someone at ArenaNet that at least they’ve seen this thread and are looking into these problems?

Even today, i went to do the guild rush in Southsun Cove and my chat reset once again just as i was about to launch the mission and when i then opened the Mission tab, it was completely blank. I was forced to leave the map in order for missions to reappear in the guild panel.

This is getting very frustrating. I don’t know if you realize just how hard it is to rally people to do this guild rush, everyone hates it and then having to deal with this kind of problem discourages them even more. I would appreciate it to at least know these issues have been noted and are being investigated.
Thanks

This particular bug is showing up in other games as well, GTAV being one example. Latest word is a link to AMD driver software following recent updates.

Several related threads on redit from various game sources.

It appears that the problem is the ‘core’ or default lighting mesh underlay for light sources ‘breaking through’ or overlaying the intended overlay filters mesh (if that makes sense LOL).

Translation: The base light level is shining through the textures/shading overlay that is supposed to mute, or level, it appropriately to give the desired level of light for the location/polygon(s).

Translation of Translation: The software ‘dimmer switch’ for those locations is busted and sticks on bright.

If so, nothing that Anet or any of the other game companies affected can do until AMD come up with their own driver fix.

Q: Do I win a prize or earn a consultation fee?

I play this game as an escape, and to avoid the politics.

(edit: penalize. I couldn’t edit the topic name after shortening it. Bah.)

I shouldn’t be penalized for solo play if I crash. If we know players who can’t use the 64-bit client will crash from time to time, causing them to enter a new instance is asinine.

The map I was on wasn’t full, but probably full enough that the megaserver algorythm decided I should go to a new one on return, ignoring the progress I had already made in the meta on the existing map, and instead dropping me in a map with no progress at all.

It’s a great way to discourage me enough to give up on that play session. Sure, I can try to find a group, or squad with a commander, but why can’t I just do my part on the map solo, and not be forced into a new map if I crash?

Please take existing effort in a given map into account when re-adding players who disconnect, hard-full map caps aside. Reconnecting players shouldn’t be subjected to the same logic as new map arrivals, and yet that’s exactly what you do.

Thank you.

I have a Geforce GTX 970 and getting random black screens during play then it recovers like nothing happened. The black screen last for about 2 seconds. It does this when I play with my onboard Intel graphics card also so it’s not a driver issue. I have updated everything, this has started happening with a recent Windows 10 update.

I have the Windows 10 pro 64 bit version , it never did this before with the first version of Windows 10 or when I had windows 7. GW2 probably not compatible with this Windows 10 version since it’s the only game that does this.

I just thought I would use this thread to reach out to others who need donations of any sort. I have been playing since 2013 (/age is 1,084 days since last I checked) and in that duration I have amassed a considerable amount of in-game funds as well as at long last obtaining all the legendaries and gear that I could have wished for. However, keeping mind that I never set out to farm for riches or prestige in the first place as that has never been my ultimate goal, I do currently not have as much funds in my possession as I could have hoped for. This gold has accumulated over the past year or so as the unwarranted (but not totally unwanted) byproduct of various endeavors that I need not go into, and additionally I have reached the conclusion that I am not going to be playing anymore due to personal reasons that I reserve for myself. I am currently sitting on well over 3k gold the last i checked, and using this I would like to hand out reasonable donations to any that needs it.

Feel free to send me a mail in-game about your current goal that you are working towards and why you feel that it is important to you or why you want it as much as you do, and i will consider it and try my best to assist you as well I am able. On a separate but also related note, do not hesitate to ask me for what you believe to be an unreasonable or outrageous request because if you explain and articulate your desire well and clear enough that it stands out to me, I might end up fulfilling or granting it to you.

Edit: So far I have donated 3 different precursors, a ghostly infusion, some gold for hawk wings and a cultural armor set, about 2 stacks worth of ecto, and given away some t6 mats that I had sitting in my bank as well as 72 deldrimor ingots to two different people. I am basicaly out of gold now, but I still have tons of karma that I have to burn through so I can donate any temple-related or armor sets as long as they are tradeable, just make sure to check that they are beforehand. Also its probably easier to just send me an in-game mail since its easier for me to keep track of everything that way.

Half a year has passed since HoT release and ‘permanently selfdeactivating minies’ bug is still unadressed. Want my minies back in the game. =/

Hey. Is there any chance you were testing changes to the map to use the cool participation+ Hero’s choice reward method using in Hot maps, moving part of the rewards to the system, and some of the changes slipped to live?

Because that would be great news, bugs and all, if that means we’ll eventually have the Hero’s Choice system in other maps.

Imagine participating in enough events in Ogre Wars, and instead getting just the same boring couple of rares as always, getting a Hero’s Choice chest that lets you choose between the usual two rares, a stack of 15…50 T3 leather, a rare material like a silver doubloon, a core or a crest; or an stacking trophy that you can exchange for an account-bound exotic Sam after you’ve gathered enough of them. All good choices, you can’t get everything so no excess rewards are produced, but you can aim for what you want.

That’s the beauty of the Hero’s Choice chests. One of the best things you’ve come up with over the years. Second only to limited stock vendors.

The biggest concern in my opinion here is that if it was indeed intentionally nerfed, why was it not on the patchnotes?

Modal windows like the match ready dialogue for PvP matches always take the focus away from the chatbox which results in a lot of windows beeing opened due to the player still typing and activating other dialogues

This is highly annoying and very unintuitive.

What makes that even worse is, that, because of the modal dialogue , you can’t close the other dialogues with ESC quickly, making the hunt for the match ready dialogue before the countdown runs out a real adventure.

Please fix that. A user should never be interrupted while typing.

Jojohn.8570:

Yet somehow the task for doing the dungeon still remains. Will these keep popping up on my dailies now that I no longer have a character that can access to these high level content?

Access to higher-level dailies permanently unlocks on your account as soon as you have any character hit the required level. So you will see daily dungeons that are suitable for your highest-ever character even though he is not around anymore. You may also run into dailies in zones that are too high leveled for your current characters.

Fortunately, leveling can be fast and it is unlikely that you will often run into impossible dailies. Also, the game community tends to be helpful. If you get a daily to do events in an area just a few levels above yours, ask for help with the events in map chat. There are usually people around willing to help. In addition, as of the latest quarterly update, you get credit towards doing an event for providing boons to allies and debuffs to enemies, as well as for healing/reviving allies. This makes it a lot easier to get event credit even if you aren’t high enough level to meaningfully contribute to damaging the enemies.

I have noticed for the past week or less the following happening regarding a player’s option to login as invisible:

A. If player logs out of game to the character select screen while “online” then changes the status to “invisible” then completely logs out, player will be “invisible” the next time player logs back in, regardless of time elapsed.

B. If player selects “invisible” for themselves then logs out of the game, the next time that player logs back in the player will be “online” and not “invisible”, as was last selected. (Note that a period of time must elapse in order for this to occur. It will not occur if you log out then immediately back in).

I have tested this many times, many different ways and this is the summary of my observation. I do not know if this is a bug or an intentional, unannounced change.

Instead of explaining this again, i’ll just copy/paste the mail I sent to ANet since they told me to post it in the forums… and hope this does something:

“Hello Arena Net,

I almost completed the achievement “Active Guild Member”. To complete it, I have to earn 10,000 influence points. And I have earned 9,773…
I’m aware that you can convert your old Inf. points into Favor, but I don’t have anymore influence to convert, therefore I can’t complete it.

My problem is that I have this achievement is permanently stuck on my “Nearly Completed” list of events and guess what? I will never be able to complete it. And now this is just clogging my achievement panel. It’s a minor nuisance but…

What I kindly wanted to ask you, is if it’s possible to either retire this achievement so it disappears from the list, or (I know this may be asking too much) give me an item that allows me to finally complete it, so it disappears (as I said, I earned VERY CLOSE to 10,000 inf. points, so I think sending me 227 inf. points would be… fair? Those additional +10 achievement points are important to me).

Other suggestion would be if, in a future patch, you could give players in the same situation like mine, a way of getting rid of this “buggy” thing, like you did in the latest spring patch with that NPC that got rid of the Personal Story bug, if I recall correctly.

Thank you."

Will do, Gaile. And thanks again to the team in charge of the fix for making it a priority.
