Twilight Arbor First Boss Vine

There is (allegedly) some area where you can exploit and stop the vines. TBH since they made it even easier because of the WP change, I can pretty much just sit there and wail on it, even with my theif.

Will a graphics card change help me fps?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: BaconCatTheGreasy.9542

BaconCatTheGreasy.9542

Hi

Since I had some issues with my GTX 560 I bought and am getting installed a GTX 670.

What are the typical fps for it with everything at ultra?
Oh and my screen is 1980×1080.

And I’m upgrading from 8G to 12G of ram.

:/
I am pretty sure your graphics card isn’t the problem. Nor will the ram do anything to help. What CPU do you have? And I mean seriously, unless you know why you need 12GB of ram or know exactly what you are gonna be doing that will need 12 gigs of ram, you don’t need that much ram. 8 is perfectly fine.

Honestly, a 560 should have no problem with the game (it ran perfectly smooth at max on my old 460). Have you tried just nuking the PC’s Windows and reinstalling first? It might just be your windows and drivers all gunked up.

Professions' base stats

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: BaconCatTheGreasy.9542

BaconCatTheGreasy.9542

hmmm, seems a bit unfair.

Not really. Most of what differentiates each class are their skills and traits. Makes it far easier to balance if they only have to deal with 1 base stat difference.

Guards have low HP because they have massive amounts of damage mitigation and healing. Theives have low HP because they are supposed to be agile and not be hit as well as using stealth to avoid hits. Elementalists have low HP because of their ability to basically have 20 weapon skills instead of 10.

Unable to be Resed, Why Cant WP?

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: BaconCatTheGreasy.9542

BaconCatTheGreasy.9542

So, in situations where a player is physically unable to be resed, glitch or otherwise, why can’t we WP out?

For example, in CoF path 3, the boss knocks you into the lava. Now, the lava kills you in about 3 or 4 ticks, if you fall in it, you can’t be revived, the lava still hurts you when dead.

Now, because of the WP change, if one person happens to get knocked off, the entrie team is pretty much screwed.

Done.

It’s amazing people have to use a 3rd party app when this feature should have been in at launch.

You do realise that the 3rd party app would exist anyway? It will ALWAYS be better than what ANet can provide ingame, mainly because it’s developed by someone who cares about the thing and not just wringing out $5 from gem sales.

So, I’m not allowed to talk to my guildies about how I once used Rapeseed Oil in a recipe for cookies while working as an analyst in Skittenhorpe? (Ha, see? Typical, it’s even called the Skittenhorpe Problem).

Reading the patch notes can groups now kick us on last fractal boss (jade ) and invite their guildies/friends so they can get bonus daily with no effort? would like to know
1.If this is possible.
2.What protection we can get from this .

Not been on the recieving end of this myself but i know a few guildies have been vote kicked when teams have gotten to the last jade area by people for no fault or reason of their own. Now we can join from Dc/or even if we were not in starting party.

1) Yes.
2) None.

Sucks I know. You’re pretty much forced into a guild to do anything now with the fractal and dungeon WP changes. In my opinion, ANet had a PuG poop in their wheetabix or something so are single-mindedly trying to kill them.

So what do I do with these useless Commendations?

Ok, prove that it’s not my wife / son / dog playing on the other account.
Come on, who the kitten can tell?

How are they playing on at the same time on the same computer?

Unless GW2 is doing some serious snooping, you can’t tell if they are on the same PC or not. The same IP doesn’t mean anything.

And even then, a free copy of sandboxie would fix that.

Merge ascended ring stats

in Suggestions

Posted by: BaconCatTheGreasy.9542

BaconCatTheGreasy.9542

As it stands, ascended items currently have a huge block of stats with repeating numbers. I can see why they did it, it’s to “make up” for the fact they don’t have an upgrade slot. But as it stands it’s just messy and unneeded.

For example, the Red Ring of Death currently states:
+71 Power
+50 Precision
+4% Critical Damage
+32 Power
+4% Critical Damage
+18 Precision

It should just simply read:
+103 Power
+68 Precision
+8% Critical Damage

do you this this will further create a population problem on the lower populated servers?

Of course it will.

That’s the point. They want to force encourage people to buy gems to transfer to highly populated servers (which coincidently cost more to transfer too than low pop servers, how odd!).

The Dirty Dozen:
1) Would you prefer ascended gear to be the last tier implemented for the remainder of GW2?
2) Would you prefer ascended gear to be equal to exotic gear in all statistics except agony resistance?
3) Would you prefer the level cap to remain at 80 for the remainder of GW2?
4) Would you prefer if WvW was set up on an equal playing field similar to PvP?
5) Would you prefer if WvW / PvP / PvE had separate skill functionalities?
6) Would you prefer if Magic Find was removed from the game completely?
7) Would you prefer if Magic Find was divided equally amongst all party members?
8) Is GW2 too ‘Grindy?’
9) Does GW2 need less RNG?
10) Has the Trading Post [and all its users/farmers] positively impacted the economy?
11) Do you have as much faith [and/or enthusiasm] about the game [and/or company] as you did before launch?
12) Do you reasonably expect [many of] your primary concerns to be addressed in early 2013?

1)Yes.
2)No
3)Yes
4)No
5)Not sure what you mean here. sPVP already has some skills changed. WvW should keep PvE skills so pick one as my answer :P

Disgusting.

To remove lynn but NOT disable the recipie, saying she is “restocking” and then removing some of the items. How about next time you tell us BEFORE disabling the vendor?

Restocking CLEARLY IMPLIES THAT SHE WILL HAVE THE SAME STOCK.

This has the smell of Zynga-Style moneygrabing tbh.

What’s that? Different classes have different stats and different playstyles? THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! EVERYTHING SHOULD BE THE SAME!

Just so you know, the bonus of having better armour is to balance out the fact that both guardians and warriors suck at range. They NEED to be in melee to do optimal damage and thus will always take more hits.
