Guild Wars 2

I got 5 account bound essences of luck with the patch. They should give me 50 luck each. Used them all and noticed my chr’s Magic find rise from 43 to 73, than after a few seconds fall back to 43. Is this a bug or do I miss something?

Players like their chr’s to be unique. What’s the fun if erveryone is walking around with the same wings and mini’s? Any gift -birthday or other- should be unique. As for the booster: Actually I assumed it was a permanent one to get started with the new account based boosts. 1 Day? What is there to perform in 1 day??

My opinion about ascended items is 100% in reverse of what Anet is proposing. Ascended items should be neither craftable nor for sale at traders. They should be unique rewards for a heroic action, e.g. defeating an end level boss. Very hard to drop and therefore very valuable and not account or soul bound on use.
I feel that Anet is proposing these changes because the current market is overflowed with existing items. So they create a new layer. And that will last for another year and then?
Players want to be unique. Make it so that they can find unique gear and weapons, making them different from others. By playing quests and slaying monsters. THAT is something you can do for many years. Creating a new level of items won’t last for long.

To my humble opinion the only fair compensation to replace Magic Find (soul bound) gear is to add the same amount of MF which was on the gear to the permanent MF account bonus. Replacement stats like suggested would mostly be useless since they won’t match with the player stats.

Since culling has been removed many players are having issues with slow framerates, and reboots to the desktop (look around here in this forum).
I myself notice frequently that all of the sudden large groups of players (30 or more) come around for an event, moving in from far away, slowing down my framerate until it almost freezes, and next a reboot with an out of memory error. As a result I"m unable to play most of the new content.
Note that this did NOT happen when culling was active. So please reduce the amount of visible players once more, at least in PvE where you don’t NEED to play with so many people at once.

Hi,
I just spend over 5000 karma and it did not add to my daily karma spending (750 needed). My 5 cents: Daily Karma spender still looks for the personel Karma value, which no longer exists, since Karma is now account based.

Today the game seems to run smoother. Don’t know if its a change made by the devs, or my settings (most to medium or low), or both. Anyway, I could play again. I concur with the remarks about system requirements. When a game is sold with a list of minimun system requirements, no matter how many times its patched, changes should never exceed those requirements. Not in 1 year, not in 2 years, 5 years, never… The team working on new content should really be more careful with this.

Same issue with me. Out of memory errors and crashes. Worst thing is that my main chr is on Divinity Reach, and I can’t even complete loading that map before it crashes. This patch consumes way too much memory. I have the latest drivers installed, can’t figure what to do more

Having the same problems since todays patch. I have the latest GeForce drivers and window’s 7 is up to date. Thing is, these problems also occured on the launch of GW2, and contrary to what is stated elswhere in this forum, what happens is that memory used by GW2 is not properly freed by the game itself: in other words, its leaking away and this only happens with this game, and after the latest patch…

I really would like some single player dungeons added for those moment none of my friends are online (which happens quite often actually). And since endgame content more and more focusses on skins: male human magic users should really have the opportunity to look like Gandalf (tall, beard, robes, hat, etc).

As I said in another post: I don’t mind mini games, including platform games. As long as it’s just about some fun and socializing. What I object is when a platform game needs to be solved to get nice ingame items and skins. Than the game should offer alternatives…

Although I personally don’t mind minigames, I DO mind if it becomes major content to get nice armor- and weapon skins. I mean: I’m a horrible platform player, can’t solve ANY jump quest taking more than 2 jumps lol! So now I’m supposed to work my way to a final stage or just leave it and forget about all kinds of nice new skins? I tried, failed and won’t try again. Come on, this is a MMORPG, its supposed to be about action roleplaying. So leave mini games for visiting taverns and to socialize. Aquiring nice skins should be done by slaying enemies. Nothing else…

For 2 days players are experiencing massive lag spikes during events such as defending a camp. In battle screen gets frozen for 2-10 seconds, than things return to normal. It’s not only me. I asked around, other players are experiencing this as well.

Get 10 unidentified dyes instead and sell them at Black Lion’s; For the gold you can buy the item you need

Same problem. errorcode 42.6.3.2060. Just played for some hours than went away for dinner. Left computer on, but could nog login after I came back.

I concur with the opp. From those wooden chests (hard to see on the map!) I get about 80% of the time putrid essence. I don’t mind if it drops since its rare, but make it an equal chance with all other rares, or make it official that piles are the normal loot and other rares exeptional.

Todays missions:

-Daily kill variety (check)
-Daily aquatic slayer (check)
-Daily gatherer (check)
-Personal story completer – I don’t play the storyline…
-Daily healer (check)
-Mystic forgesmith – Dont have the items for mystic forge
-Keg brawl stealer – I don’t play the mini games
-Group event completion – Searched for an hour, could not find one active with enough players around
-Daily myst invasion – no clue where this happens

The list does not favor the causual player. We need a larger list or at least 5 choices out of the old daily event list…
