There wasn’t much discussion on this topic but it’d be cool if my suggestion helped devs make this decision.
I’d like to thank the devs for taking this suggestion.
Yeah, when I installed the graphics card I made sure to remove the AMD drivers. I’ll try and delete the local.dat file now and repair.
I upgraded my video card from a Radeon HD 7750 to a Geforce GTX 660 ti.
After the upgrade Guild Wars 2 will often freeze on start up. It will go to a blank screen and then nothing will happen.
My specs are attached.

But it was not in the rules, and I am asking for the upcoming tournaments to be more fair, having a team play only 1 match and the other team play for 8h straight is just not fair. I am sure you will at least agree with that.
Yeah it isn’t fair that you guys had to play 8 hours while TP was fresh but that’s how tournaments go, sometimes you get a good draw and sometimes you don’t.
I’ve competed in sports tournaments where the matches are extremely physically gruelling and I’ve had to compete in 3 matches back to back with one minute rest in between while my opponents were resting the entire bracket.
That’s the way it goes, both teams fought extremely well regardless.
I don’t know why this is the case but this needs to change.
Thanks for the advice. What is the most current socket number? Is it LGA1155?
I’m looking to upgrade my CPU for something around 250 dollars.
My computer is quite old but I can’t afford to upgrade my motherboard.
My current CPU is an Intel® Core™ i5 CPU K 655 @ 3.20GHz (4 CPUs).
My current Motherboard is a Gigabyte P55A – UD3.
My current graphics card is a Geforce GTX 660 ti.
Can someone recommend me a CPU that fits my requirements?

I’ve got a fair few of them now and I was just doing Chaos Crystal Caverns, the combination of the JP and skins looked amazing.
How much range does the res have and how much does the increase range trait increase it by?
Would be nice to have this looked at.
and the Axe 5 doesn’t really have any area it shines in.
WROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG
it annihilates other rangers and grenade engis. Not to mention staff guardian, and GS mesmer.
if you use axes with high crit build, you will pretty much destroy anything that comes unprepared. As in, anything that relies on ranged DPS/ranged condition spam alone.
Anyone decent won’t use projectiles on you when you use Axe 5, kind of useful in WvW since the players their aren’t as good as in sPVP. Even so it’s a high cooldown projectile reflect, it doesn’t do anything better any other projectile reflect skill does, worse in fact.
Ah that makes sense. However I still miss the old AOE circles.
If you compare Axe/Axe to a lot of other classes and weapon combinations it feels quite static and there isn’t a lot you can do except spam your skills(although the pull can be used to great effect) and the Axe 5 doesn’t really have any area it shines in.
The traits that support off hand axe also aren’t that great.
I think if my idea is implemented it would fill in a lot of holes in terms of fun, viability, effectiveness and variety.
I think axe offhand would be a lot more effective and a lot more fun if by default or by way of trait if you could ground target axe 5.
The ranger could leap/roll to the spot and then use the skill, it could be used to save allies, reflect more effectively, move etc.
Achievements that can’t be completed anymore shouldn’t be shown on the nearly completed pane.
The achievement pane needs to show the total amount needed, as far as I can tell it only shows the amount to the next tier which is a useless number.
The Shadow Behemoth still uses the old AOE circles. It looks way better and cleaner than the new ones.
Can we get an option for the old ones please?
Every time I get to the part where you have to use jump pads up to the jumping puzzle it’s too laggy and the jump pads are too buggy to make it further.
The diving goggles should be in a place where you can jump to normally, there’s no way i’m going to do the jumping puzzle over and over again until I get lucky and land on the platform.
If it were down to skill I could understand, but the jump pads are extremely buggy.
This complaint takes the cake… the starcake.
It really comes down to play well and having a good party. The shorter it is the easier.
Dodging is the lasers is easy, the hard part is getting pulled by the golems.
The golems telegraph their pull by spinning, you can either dodge/block/invuln it. If you jump on a crate the golem will pull you so be aware of that.
Condi’s are good as well but the best way to kill the golems is to mark it as soon as it spawns and burst it down.
Yeah there needs to be way less complaining and way more thought put into posts.
No it doesn’t I think the end boss is a bit too easy, I think the encounter should be shorter but significantly harder.
I did it twice already – still no achievement.
What really saddens me is that me and my guardian friend carried whole team by resurrecting 3 defeated members after the 3rd cannonade and they received the achievement, but we didn’t even when especially paying attention to Horik in the end.
I’ve been doing a fair bit of carrying myself, I’m hoping people in general improve in this dungeon because it is pretty easy. It was like that in the Molten Weapons Facility as well, people got a lot better by the end of it.
How do you get this achievement? Dulfy says don’t get hit by Horrik after you defeat Mai.
I’m pretty sure I did that but still no achievement.
I’ve killed the end boss but only because I joined a party that was there.
Kiel has bugged 3 times at the JP, how do other parties get there?
It’s not the hardest dungeon and will probably return as a fractal.
The dungeon is great, if you can’t finish it that is your problem.
I think this dungeon is the right length and has interesting boss fights.
I think the last fight although fun is too easy. The achievements are cool too.
It’s bugged, see this is simple things ANET could easily fix. Don’t have NPCS open doors.
One person did the JP, the rest tried to escort Kiel to prevent this bug(after the patch), still bugged.
Let us call target even if we are not in a party. In WvW thieves and mesmers can be a pain because they have skills that break target, I don’t see any downside to this.
Also it would be great if you could mark target for your turrets and necro pets.
I gave it a listen and its quite good, but could you put it another website like youtube?
Itunes is terrible.
For your CPU upgrade, you will need to go into the BIOS on startup (F4 on mine, differs from model to model) and find out the model / make of the Motherboard.
Reason for this is depending on how old the Motherboard is, for example my board cannot take the newer CPU’s as there too big (my comps about 6 years old i think) and other parts like ram sticks also need (well ideally) to match up with everything, difficult to explain over text.
Ok, in that case I think I’ll save up and get a new computer rather than trying to upgrade bits and pieces at a time.
Thanks a lot devs, it’s gonna make playing the game that much better.
Please, more simple changes like this in the future.(FOV slider please, toggle for old aoe red circles).

I bought the computer off of a friend a year ago, there is a sticker but I don’t see what you’re describing. I may pick up a new power supply at the local computer shop.
Can anyone recommend a CPU upgrade for a similar price of 300 USD?
I’ve played for a while and I should know this but I don’t.
Usually these are found in the tech section.
First what is your power supply, size and model. You may have to upgrade it as well if it’s not up to snuff.
I will say the GTX 660Ti if you don’t need to buy a PSU, a GTX 660 if you do as a good quality PSU in the 500-600 watt range will set you back $60-90 USD.
And still on XP? Really?
I don’t know what model it is but I do know that it has 500 watts.
I’ll check out the 660ti now.
Yeah I get that a lot about xp, I like it better than the later versions.
Can a mod move this to the tech section?
Now here’s the problem. Not all 500 watt PSUs are equal. When it comes to having the power to support a $300 class video card, what’s important is the amount of watts it can deliver on the 12 volt part of the supply. Store bought PCs and very inexpensive power supplies that are often bundled with cases, even 500 watt ones, simply can’t deliver a reasonable chunk of it’s total power output at 12 volts. That’s my concern here. You may want to crack open the rig to take a look see. What you are looking for the sticker on the PSU and see if they list total wattage or amperage at 12 volts (watts@12v = amps@12v x 12).
As to performance difference between the GTX 660 and GTX 660Ti I can only point you at this chart from TechPowerUP.
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/GeForce_GTX_660_Direct_Cu_II/27.html
So stock clock 660 vs 660Ti is about 15%.
I had a look and I didn’t see what you described, what happens if the PSU isn’t good enough and how much would one such PSU cost?
Will getting a 660 rather than a 660 ti matter much?
Just add a stupid toggle… tweaking timing/mousemovement thresholds… how stubborn are you guys? The same kitten as with the FOV problematic. If it wasn’t for a third party FOV-tool to set my fov to 65(vert) i would have quit long ago.
You will just procrastinate and then say: no, we can’t because: look at all these reasons we imaginated
Don’t you get that this is a PC-game? Look at the Borderlands 2 Option menu:

Quoted for truth.
Could you pm me a link to the program that allows you to change your FOV? The current FOV gives me headaches/

Hello, I’ve been playing GW2 for since launch and its time for me to upgrade my graphics card. I don’t have a new computer but I’d like to spend about 320 USD or so to upgrade my graphics card so I can hopefully run on near max settings and at least get better frame rates in WvW.
My current graphics card is a Radeon HD 7750 1 GB. I’ve attached my dxdiag to this post.
Keep in mind I don’t live in the US so I won’t be shipping anything, I’m not too concerned about getting the best possible card for my money but rather just a good card that will improve my performance a decent amount. I’d also prefer a Geforce card since I haven’t had that many good experiences with Radeon cards.
Please move if this is in the wrong place, thank you.

It literally looked like we were being treated as children. All boss mechanics should be visually represented on screen and from the boss itself, we shouldn’t have to read chat to figure out how to beat the boss.
I don’t like it, there should be an option to have the old circles.
It’s really distracting and ruins the aesthetic especially in dungeons like CoE. The old circles were nice and clean and that’s all you need.
I play a Ranger and we really really need this. Dungeons, PVP and roaming, this is a necessary change.
Please make it a proper dungeon like the Molten Weapons Facility and not a ‘’single player’’ personal story instance like the Canach instance.
It looks terrible to non-colourblind players and really messes with the aesthetic of the game.
In places like CoE it shimmers and can give you a headache.

Having an option is really one of those no brainer solutions.
I dislike the new red rings, they don’t look very good and are kind of distracting compared to the old ones.
Can we at least get an option to choose the old ones?
Single player dungeons aren’t dungeons. I’m really disappointed with the two new instances, they are short and the mechanics aren’t well designed.
The Molten Weapon Facility, now that was a dungeon. I was expecting some of similar quality, instead Arenanet catered to the people who complained about dungeons in the end no one wins.
Arenanet needs to decide what is a valid complaint and what isn’t.
This really needs to be changed, it’s pointless getting most weapons on an Asura because you can’t see them.
It’s up on Northern Shiverpeaks.
