Yoshirou.2801:

dual band wireless n750 gigabit VDSL Modem router
i did a lot of google search before thinking about posting here didn’t seem to find a way to solve it .

Have you bought it, or was it from your ISP ? If from ISP maybe you should ask
their hotline.

Btw.: another modell of D-Link here but sounds familiar :
http://www.amazon.com/D-Link-Systems-DIR-835-Wireless-Dual-Band/dp/B0075327TM

Just past 100 days and the router was dropping signal every 20 minutes and needed to be reset

Also a lot here :
https://www.google.de/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=KtyqVabgDKmF8QfM8IB4#q=d%27link+router+lose+internet+connection

Ok .. then it is maybe simply a problem with your router.

Look for the modell and do some google search .. or post it here if you want
other people to google for you,

If you pre-purchased it and want your money back, they will close your whole account.

The problem was mostly that your flashdrive was formated with FAT-32 instead of NTFS

Try this :

Assuming, Windows Vista or higher:

Open your screenshot folder, it’s located in “Documents/Guild Wars 2/Screens/”. Cut and paste (move) the “Screens” folder to a new location of your choosing. The original Screens folder in the Guild Wars 2 folder should be gone after doing this.

Copy down the path of both folder locations, you’ll need this later. Example:

Old: C:\Users\You\Documents\Guild Wars 2\Screens
New: C:\Guild Wars 2\Screens

Open the command prompt as an administrator. Type cmd in the start menu search, right click cmd.exe and select run as administrator.

In the command prompt, type the following command, substituting your folder locations (right click the command window to paste):

mklink /J “C:\Users\You\Documents\Guild Wars 2\Screens” “C:\Guild Wars 2\Screens”

The same also works if you want to change the folder where your local.dat is located.
I use for example 2 subdirectorys in my gw2 folder with different local.dat files
for my 2 accounts.

Look into you power saving settings, and make sure your network card is not
maybe disabled automatically there every 30 minutes. And yes ofc that should
only happen if inactive .. but maybe there is a bug in the driver or whatever.

Oh .. and look for newer drivers.

Ziggamasta.3824:

it’s not an overheating issue and the nvidia drivers are all up to date.

I said : if NVidia, try OLDER drivers.

Just a little collection :

try rolling back to this driver

Note: I am not tech support, so do so at your own risk, but I can’t really see a risk it’s simply an earlier driver.

However, it has worked for me so far. Also, turn off auto-updates in Geforce Experience.

if your using any driver higher than 285.79 the 560 is unstable usually related to desktop/firefox

has never been fixed and never will be issues start in the 314.22 drivers you may need to do a reformat if reverting does not help(ie you must have a clean install of the driver)

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/support/Game-Crashing-5680x1080/first#post5016595

The two latest drivers from NVIDIA are rushed and very buggy, apparently they wanted to optimize for GTA. GW2 is not the only game that has issues with those drivers.
Don’t use 350.12 and 347.88, revert to 347.52 (clean install).

Ansau.7326:

Volmarg, nothing will solve your problem unless you change that cpu.

Beldin.5498:

Ansau.7326:

The game doesn’t care about how many cores you have =/= the game only uses one core.

Thats totally wrong .. it uses 4 cores, else you would never see much more then 25%
CPU utilisation in your task manager.

Quote everything, not just that sentence. And you didn’t even understood the sentence, because what I say and what you say is exactly the same.

I haven’t even read your whole post .. i simply don’t like when people pull out
this false argument.

And telling a lie at the beginning and telling people .. hey you have to read the
next 500 pages .. there i say that i meant something else isn’t really that helpful.

What about
1. Play a character from 1-80 without dying
2. Explore 100% map without dying
3. Solo all dungeons without dying.

As soon as you die you have to restart with a new level 1 character.

Rewards : if you don’t complete the daily all your character are deleted.

@The Witcher
How are all those 100 person zergs there performance wise ? Oh wait .. there is
nothing like that ..

Look for your temperatures .. if overclocked revert to normal.
If ATI GPU install newest drivers .. if NVidia try maybe older drivers.

Hm .. 2.3 GHz I5 .. i only know them as Laptop Prozessors.
The desktop CPUs like i5 2500k have 3.3 GHz, and those are better than your AMD.

http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i5-2500K-vs-AMD-A8-6600K

Mostly a driver problem ..

Insomnia.7302:

Hm… I still can’t really believe it… I mean, I could run the game without any problems on my 5-6 year old system and the new hardware can’t even handle it on the lowest graphics settings. oO

Could a newer CPU really be that bad?^^

What CPU did you have before ? You just said you upgraded ypir GPU.

Btw. do you still have the old GPU ? If so just try how it works with your new CPU.

Narrrz.7532:

i’m really hoping they decide to include a full LS2 package with at least one of the HoT purchase options.

I think they will not do that because they can’t give out gift without players
starting to cry for refunds because they already have that or don’t want that
or whatever else.

bluestocking.6148:

Beldin.5498:

Just to get it right .. you ordered HoT 2 or even 3 times just for fun and now want
you money back ?

Where are you getting that from? I see one purchase of HoT, that didn’t work. So he got a refund and tried it again and it’s still not working.

Its such a wall of text without clearly saying what the problem is, and then i got
that from this :

Order Date: 06/29/2015 – Heart of Thorns Standard Edition (via GS ingame)

Order Date: 01.07.2015 – Ultimate Edition purchased via website

Now I don’t know what is going on but that’s 1 standard edition, digital deluxe and 2 ultimate codes that have been wasted now, all I wanted was to get the ultimate edition and be done with it.

TheGrimm.5624:

I admit we have not gotten more information on masteries yet, but in the meantime it would be nice if we were once again able to receive an additional spirit shard each time we re-reach level 80 the way we used to get skill points. The reason I say this that it still left a lot of us the feeling that we were progressing still even though we had capped out.

^^ +1 to that

Deedrick.4372:

Sign in daily on all accounts to get laurels, then do daily on you real account,l then go play Tera…. simple (f2p).

The stupid patching of that game took me longer that the time i really played it .. lol

One thing not really related to your problem but to the title of the topic ..

I also didn’t read your post since that wall of text simply hurts my eyes.

So if your ticket looked the same way .. i can understand it in some way.

Just to get it right .. you ordered HoT 2 or even 3 times just for fun and now want
you money back ?

Get GPU-Z and check if you see @x16 there as bus interface.

If not check if your GPU in the slot next to you CPU .. if so remove it and press it in
again to make sure it is seated correct.

80 copper whenever there is a Mystic Forge daily .. to buy 4 cheap runes / sigills

Else i only use it to promote cores to loadstones.

Ancient wood logs are now though as they’re 7+ silver a piece. A single run of the four maps gets you 36 at a minimum per character.

Question is how many time you spend there with running around and fighting mobs
and if in the same time you can maybe harvest 3 seasond wood that give you 8+ silver.

I did that a long time in Frostgorge, but with megaserver it got more an more
annoying and when orichalcum went down below 6 silver i finally stopped it.

You don’t necessarily have to fight mobs. Run an 80 thief with a full stealth build and you can just sneak past them

The thing is, you will do that normally with ALL you characters and not just one.
And i don’t have 19 thieves .. only 1

T6 node farming is profitable again.

Really? How? With megaserver each time you swap toons there is a good chance that the nodes won’t be in the same place. The only way I could made it semi-viable was with a friend so we could get back into the same map for all our character.

But even then, you gonna need to find all the nodes everyday. At that rate, you are better to farm gold and buy the orichalcum and ancient wood.

Much better to farm T3, T4 stuff especially since also orichalcum is not worth much
anymore.

What is “EB” ??

Look into your \Users\your name\AppData\Roaming\Guild Wars 2\ArenaNet.log

Ardenwolfe.8590:

Welcome to the reason a lot of us said, “No,” to an expansion, and, “Yes,” to more free Living Story updates, Seasonal Events, Special Events, etc. every month or so while chasing achievements.

Never once was I bored. And now? Well, now we get into arguments about what content we are or aren’t getting at what cost . . . while I play Marvel Heroes. I’m sure Gazillion appreciates that.

Fun times.

Yeah .. personally i liked LS1 the most .. there we had something new really
every 2 weeks, but people couldn’t start to complain, then we got LS2 that
had much more long breach and much less replayability of the content for
me .. and people complained again that LS sucks and they want an expansion
instead .. and they also said they wanted to pay for a real expansion …

then expansion was anounced .. now people suddenly wish we had again
a living story .. and of course they don’t want to pay for the expansion.

funny times .. yeah

Go 30 minutes into Dredgehaunt Cliffs, harvest all the wood an iron, sell at
the TP → buy weapon from what you made

What driver version are you using for your GPU ? Personally i had some problems
with the drivers that were released in the second half of 2014. The latest beta drivers
were much more stable. Not sure about the newest official driver since i only use
it since 3 days.

Have you already tried to delete your local.dat ?

Write a ticket .. only the support can help you.

Else as a tip : always expand the bank from inside the bank because you will not
see any more unlock buttons there if you are on maximum.

paintpixie.7398:

Shiverpeaks! I immediately put all my new characters there, regardless of race. Although, the human maps are easier and faster to complete in my opinion. Each area really does have it’s own charm, but I love the snowy areas best of all. Hoelbrak is my city of choice too.

^ This. I always do Wayfarer Foothills first, after that mostly Queensdale.
Metrica is the starter zone i like the least.

Else also Hoelbrak is my home and mostly i’m playing in Dredgehaunt Cliff,
Timberline Falls and Frostgorge

Prototypemind.4026:

I’m sorry, but it’s out and out lying to say that those next gen games don’t look better than some of the squared off polys seen in this game. More so, I really don’t care about 100 man zergs. That kind of play never interested me. Small group content, instanced play, and 16-40 man is the largest scale battling I’d look for. There’s really not much enjoyment when things are faceroll because no one can even see what’s going on in a mass of 100 other players.

There’s a reason that WoW upgraded to DX11,

Wow .. don’t you see the irony in your post ? Talking about better looking Asia games
and then talk about WoW .. the most ugly MMO ever that nonetheless has the
most players ?
If good looking was such a big thing then everybody would have ignored WoW
and played Lineage 2 and later they would maybe have all gone to AION.

The Koreans have done that .. the western audience however not.

cagiepoo.8162:

I used to have the same problem… constant game crashes at teq or any highly-populated world event. But I was also running the game on Ultra settings. Once I changed my graphic settings to auto-detect I haven’t had any crashes since then.

Crashed on Ultra happen because the client runs out of memory, its mostly
better to reduce at least the character limit.

They can do as they like. There are a number of better optimized titles coming out in the next year. Player attention will be spread across a lot of other games in the near future, and GW2 is already behind as is.

What titles are you talking about ? Some more generic asian grinders with Unreal
or Crytec Engine ? Is maybe Cabal 2 the next Killer Game ?

The only game i am maybe interestet in at the moment is one with an Engine
das is even a lot more unoptimized that GW2, because it also uses a selfmade
Voxel Engine.

And even the game with Crytec or Unreal Engine had often massive performance
problems when there were massive blobs of players. Ever been in Giran in Lineage 2
or in big Abyss fights in AION ?

Nah, Cabal 2 doesn’t interest me in the least, but Black Desert, Blade & Soul, Kingdom Under Fire 2, Skyforge, Bless, Lost Ark, and whatever else may show up. There are just a lot of more visually pleasing, better optimized titles coming out. I’m not trying to claim that they’re perfect, but to pretend like GW2 is going to continue holding its own performance-wise when it’s not even holding its own currently is lying to yourself.

I’ve heared from friends that Skyforge runs at maybe 40 FPs and that is a lot less
than what GW2 has, and no you can’t compare running around alone in another
game to a 100 person zerg in GW2. I wonder how Skyforge runs at a 100 man zerg.

From the past i only know how bad the oh so good Unreal and Crises engine
performed in MMOs like Lineage 2 and AION as soon as there were a big
number of players.

Julie Yann.5379:

Did level after 80 really have a point before the patch? Seriously, I had hundreds of skill points that we never used before the changes. Now you get shards as drops, I still have hundreds of shards that probably will never get used. I don’t see why people are making such a big deal out of this.

Because clearly other people consume skill points/shards on a more regular basis than you.

Last year, i made an average of 3g profit for skillpoints by promoting t1 common mats and used up thousands of skill points in the process. Some people craft superior siege for wvw on a regular basis, craft lots of legendaries or ascended gear.

But you still get shards, I get them from drops fairly regularly and you get them from dailies as well. Shard supply hasn’t changed with the patch, I just get them differently.

Since the patch i have gotten ONE shard from drops .. while i had maybe
100+ level ups. ONE lousy shard instead of 100 ..

WoW was successfull because it used very low graphics that ran on every
outdated PC instead of having graphics like EQ2 that needed very good hardware.

Maybe a lot people simply also had stocked some quartz in their bank and
after 3 months finally they needed to buy new from the TP.

Personally i still have 3 stacks from that time, but i stopped charging each day
when i had over 200 charged quartz.

Also just recently after the patch i made a celestial set for my engi, and celestial
aromor for my elementalist.

Guys can you check that you are running latest drivers

Lastest drivers are not always the best, especially NVidia has a long history where
indeed the latest drivers were the cause of so many crashes.

Loli Ruri.8307:

But doesn’t Dx12 give you twice the frames per second to do the same exact stuff that Dx11 does but better? You should read up on how it gets better performance. My question is, what bottleneck of Dx12? Also, what difficulty to implement? Do you actually know? Not that it matters, as it’s a decision that ArenaNet needs to decide, or probably more their managers. But I will tell you this, there is a demand.

DX12 can also cure cancer o.O

As a compromise, they could leave the “coming soon” window and remove the “you sold this on the Trading Post, hit accept” and the “Zommoros rewards you with this, hit accept” because I already KNOW I sold or MF’d and don’t need to be told or made to hit accept. They could make those windows appear then fade out, remove the required accept.

You know that you don’t need to click on the accept buttons in the TP or at
the Mystic Forge ? You can directly click the next stuff into the forge under
the accept window and forge again.
On the TP you can also click anywhere outside the sell window and it closes
without clicking OK .. or sell other stuff from your inventory ..

I didn’t know about the MF one. Ty. However the TP one, if you are clicking outside the sell window that’s still the extra click, it’s just in another spot. Since that big panel is covering up your items to sell, how do you sell something else? Does it go away when you click on something in your inventory?

I always sell with right clicking stuff in my inventory .. and in that case directly
the new sell window in the TP opens.

I’ll check it out. Ty.

Well, I checked it out and both ways require a minimum of 4 clicks to sell one item in the trading post. The only difference is where you place the click. So I’m still going to say that this game has an excessive number of clicks that altogether can cause hand pain.

If you want to sell for direct price its 2 clicks :
1. rightclick on item -> sell on TP (ok maybe that are already 2 for you)
2. click on sell

I rarely sale for direct price so I don’t think of that and truthfully don’t wish to do that as that’s leaving money on the table. It adds up to a fair amount. I almost always sell by matching lowest seller, and that’s 4 clicks. One click too many as they could remove the panel that just informed you that you sold something.

Adjusting prices of course need more clicking .. however that has nothing to do
with the confirmation button.
There is at the moment the real problem that the copper field often don’t gets
the focus when hovering over it and then you have to play around until you
finally can adjust the value.

Hi guys, So I just got into gathering recently. I noticed that several gathering nodes stay the same for a whole day. Has anyone researched how frequent they are changed? Bcoz so far with 3 days gathering routine, The second day and the third day have quite similar nodes for a whole day, Only the first day has different nodes location.

Map in this case is timberline falls.

/ip is your friend. It gives you the IP of your current map, and if the ip changes
you will have a differet layout of the ressources.
In case of timberline falls .. there will also be another rich platin vein near the
jotun camp on every instance of the map.

@main topic
i made a new character yesterday .. brought him near 60 with scroll, crafted 14 level
and played the last 7-8 level. The level up interface is really best to handle with
clicking always on the gem at the left side for the next level up reward instead of
closing the screen, when you level by scrolls.

What i personally found totally anoying was, that when playing in the world after
each teleport again and again there was a popup for the specialisations whenever
i had not all point spent.

First this for some official numbers :
http://www.engadget.com/2014/07/03/turbine-raiders-make-up-the-smallest-player-group-in-lotro/#comments

And then : Wildstar

Oh and even Everquest Next is planned without raids, and Everquest was the game
that startet with the whole bullkitten .. and maybe the main reason why you have it
in WoW and why people thing its so great, even if maybe it would have been also
as successfull without raids.

Also you would never be able to design raids proper in a game where some
people are able to solo things where often groups of 5 have big problems.

The whole numbers game of uncoming damage vs. healing simply doesn’t
work here the same as in Trinity games .. not until the disable the dodge-roll
for that content at least.

I would have liked so much more to get a shiverpeaks expansion instead of Maguma
since i simply love the shiverpeaks.

A lot of characters also help to make more money, because so you can search for
some spots with a lot of ressources and then run them on all your characters.

3 Days ago for example i had a route where i made 1-1,3 gold in less than 4 minutes.
If i would have run that without taking breaks on 15 characters that would have
been over 15g per hour.

Actually i mostly seek for good wood spots in Dredgehaunt Cliffs, since seasoned wood
is very high in price and you seldom have to fight mobs there.
My other prefered zone for platin and hard wood is Timberline Falls.

Evans.6347:

Spirit shards also drop as loot from trash mobs. I’ve had a few. But you gotta pay attention to the loot bar to spot them.

I have gotten ONE so far yesterday the first time since the patch.

And i have made maybe 100 level in that time, and all for nothing
