Guild Wars 2

For fun… ? get some friends together and play together..“Shrugs”.

We’ve had hundreds of threads like these,mounts won’t be coming to gw2..and most threads about mounts will get removed.

Btw,i honestly think the mounting in Archeage is a dull experience,to be completely fair archeage as a whole is completely dull,the game feels like a job with everything you do..Gw2 is still miles ahead of archeage imo.

Also im kinda confused as how you think leveling and exploring in gw2 is boring while you dont find it boring in archeage ? Gw2 has an awesome atmosphere and the pve zones are Really well thought through and theres something pretty to see and to explore everywhere you look and go.While in archeage its all a bland,boring,empty big space with little atmosphere and it feels unfinished,unpolished.Look at their dungeons,its just pathetic to call it a dungeon at all.All the quests are the same,go kill 10 monsters because i say so,then pick 10 of these because i want you to,come back here so i give you some xp and silver and gtfo to the next guy who will give you the exact same quests again …yadayada.
Anyway…no mounts ;p

Define difficult..Imo difficult in anets eyes is slapping on a few mill hp on a boss,let him do insta kill hits or spam aoe’s allover the place.Bosses need interesting designs and particular ways of defeating them ( i know we do have some ) which can make it difficult.A boss with a few mill hp that takes ages to take down isn’t difficult,i’ts just a drag.

^ Its a visual bug,it doesn’t do actual damage.

Then what is holding the FPS back? Because the CPU is running at half speed and RAM is a little over 25% full.

Im getting higher fps maxed out with GTX560ti – sli,FX-8120 @ 4.6.Theres something wrong with your system,settings,drivers whatever..Set your character model limit and quality to Low,see what it does to your fps,afterwards try using a resolution like 1920 × 1080 ( if your fps is fine after this switch,it is a cpu bottleneck ).

Delete your Local.dat located in C:\Users\LEBENSBAUM\AppData\Roaming\Guild Wars 2,
Delete the Gw2 cache located in C:\Users\LEBENSBAUM\AppData\Local\Temp.

Otherwise try to reinstall All drivers,including mobo,sound,internet,gpu, and reinstall properly.Make sure your card isnt running at 4x speed,make sure it isnt being throttled back,same for your CPU ( Use Coreparking tool to disable windows throttling http://coderbag.com/Programming-C/CPU-core-parking-manager ).If it doesn’t help reinstall windows.

Also according to this post made by a Dev,theres something wrong with the latest performance fix theyve done to this game https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/FPS-Issue-with-the-latest-patch-merged/first

I have asked our devs not to show their tags while participating in Adopt-A-Dev. The tag can become a big distraction and I really want them to be treated as regular players.

That said, we are not enforcing that request, it’s just my preference that they refrain from doing it.

We had a Dev run with us on FSP some days ago,Grouchi or something.He had his tag up but it was by no means a distraction.Everyone kept doing his thing while he tagged along he was treated as a regular player.

I rather enjoy this mentality myself. It makes it very enjoyable when i walk away from the OPs corpse since i know how easy condition builds are to counter. Then their next thread is one claiming the professuon he got beat with is OP.

Sure condi builds are solid in 1v1. They are by no means a grunted win. Add a Seco d or third player in the mix and your condition build is neutered. It is kind of cute how posters here actually believe condition builds are actually OP though. Particularly when asked to prove it. You guys run from presenting facts like a cat runs from a bath. Perhaps you should shift your mentality from assumption based on limited experience into factual reality.

Alas, it is the forums, so assumptions, and claims based on a limited skill level will always trump reality in the thread makers eyes.

Don’t be so grumpy because most condi builds are easy cheese mode,and you playing one feeling offended.It’s just the truth,apply condi’s..run around like a headless chicken and still win cus of high condi ticking while no need to even be close to your target.While double melee builds are relying on heavily telegraphed skills and the need to be in somebody’s face and actually have to make sure not to waste a skill.Limited skill level is needed for condi builds.

It’s not needed in this game since pve zones are seperated,it’s no sandbox.
WvW isn’t big enough for mounts either
It would increase server stress
etc

There’s a difference between hiding a build and just not wanting to invest time into explaining it.

Or not wanting it to be copied by others for it to show up on the forum with the statement thats its His new build and he came up with it…and everyone starts rolling it aswell,a thing that has happend to me on multiple occasions.

Came in for the lawls…was not disappointed.

Whats so funny about it ? If someone rolls an “Op” build and it gets copied,shared..it can become a meta.

Read your statement, get the “I made this build ego boost”, and proceed with the lawls. Like I said, I R NOT DISAPPOINT. GG.

Theres nothing to ego boost about, it’s just my reason..take it or leave it really,cba what you might think about it.

Hence,they can never make a proper system when you for e.g as a rank 10 only fight people between 10 – 20 instead of matching them up vs rank 80’s.There just arn’t enough people playing sq and tq to make this happen.

Netherlands
No specific time,just happening since the latest patch.
Far shiverpeaks
Every WvW map ( I dont do pve so cannot judge )
Lower overall Fps,Choppy inconsistent Fps dropping to 20 when more than 10 people show up on screen,before the patch i could stay well above 40 – 50 when more than 10 people showed up.

Using maxed out settings except Character limit + Character quality at low.

I would smell of leather,steel,dirt,ale,sweat,blood and the fallen tears from my enemys.I would smell foul,so foul that you don’t want to hang around me unless im saving your puny kitten from being ganked,you dont know if you want to thank me or ask me when the last time was i took a shower.
Mercenary’s don’t shower,i shower in the blood from my fallen foes.

Stupendous Man.4920:

I have not read the posts above me. The following may have been suggested/dismissed already.

Let the people on the map dictate who can/cannot place siege.

• Anyone who wishes to place siege, starts a timed in-game poll.
• The players currently on the map vote for or against it.
• If the vote passes, the person gets permission for period of time to place as may siege as they like. [e.g. 1-2 hour buff]
• If the vote fails, the person is not allowed to place siege and cannot start another poll for a period of time. [e.g. 0.5-1 hour debuff]

Possible issues:

• When not many people are on the map for a meaningful poll. In this scenario, allow anyone to place siege but with the initially stated ‘exhaustion’ debuff which would limit siege spamming.
• Enough people are on the map but they don’t participate in the poll. If a (few) polls time out due to lack of participation, then fall back on ‘exhaustion’ debuff.

What if Siege needs to placed in a hurry ? For e.g im someone who just entered a tower to scout,i see its not sieged up and i see a zerg coming towards me.I want to place a treb behind the gate but i cannot.Do you want me to start a Poll that takes Time…Time in which the gate will be rammed before i can even put the siege up ? That really won’t work out well either.

" When a player places a piece of siege they receive a stack of “Exhaustion”
A stack of “Exhaustion” expires after three minutes
If a player has three stacks of “Exhaustion” they can no longer place siege"

Something like this would be Horrible to say the least.Speaking for myself i can be really siege hungry,since not many people on my server are actively spending time in sieging towers up,I can spend 30m – 2h sieging up several towers. Trebs behind gate,catas behind gate,10+ ac’s.Limiting Me in doing so,would not hurt the siege trolls..you would hurt legit players properly sieging up towers.

I can already see it happening…

“My exhaust just popped in,cant siege up WC now,someone else please siege up wc”"
No reaction*
“Anyone want to siege up WC please my Exhaust just started?”
No reaction*
“40+ Blob at WC !!..and we have no siege now”
Wc lost.

Ohh yess monks ! So we can have Neverending fights due to Op healing and partys going full monk!! That would be so aweseome !!!! Please note my kitten sarcasm.

Newsflash – ‘all on the mo’ was never the way to go, and using sarcasm in an attempt to ‘prove’ monks are ‘OP’ just tells us you thilly chump don’t have the slightest kitten what you’re talking about.
There goes a minute of my time wasted replying to trolls.

Smart guy you are for telling me i don’t know what im talking about based on my previous comment.You know i wasn’t “trolling” otherwise you wouldn’t even reply..I was simply making a sarcastic comment based on my own experiences with “Op” monks in other mmo’s.Im glad the trinity is gone,im glad full healers are gone,im glad monks are gone.Saw that ? No sarcasm !

Btw whats a Thilly chump,can you eat it ?

I suggested this about …1.5 – 2 years back, no kidding.

Goodluck with this one !

Server desync,the player is actually in a different spot then where you are seeing him.To test this,select the target and use any range skill..and you will notice the direction your range is aiming at,and that the downed player is taking dmg but isnt really in the spot where you see him..usually he is a step or two away anyways and the only way to kill a desynced player is by kicking his body till it no longer moves.

Set a limit to how many people can use a commander tag at one given time per map,easy.

Kurzicks – Luxons.

Ohh yess monks ! So we can have Neverending fights due to Op healing and partys going full monk!! That would be so aweseome !!!! Please note my kitten sarcasm.

Rush is really buggy,unless you deselect a target…. 9 out of 10 times,your rush hit will miss,running in crazy directions when your target is making an evade or a slight turn..running forward endlessly eventhough im Right at my targets kitten ,not making any hit at all.

Performance fixes..Ha!

Test server…Make it happen already and invite a select few to use the test server based on who You think would be a good addition to test and report issues before patches go live..We’ve had a testserver in the past for Eotm,why can’t you make it a standard thing ?

I agree with alot the guy in the vid had to say and he really does sound very frustrated about how the game has changed for him being a new player.But i dont really get the concern of unlocking skills based on level.I dont know if you guys ever played gw1,but it was the exact same way there..you could unlock skills based on lvl and ingame progression and back then i thought it was great because you didnt get everything handed out to you and when you finally did get those skill you really felt like you earned it,you progressed.Now i have to say..I only main one character ( i have been playing since day one of Gw2 ),simply because im not an altoholic and i dont really have the time to spend on multiple characters.

I do know that i found everything Very easy to understand back then,and this handholding thing,learning to dodge etc is a bit too much..I know people ingame that have ages that range from 14 – 50 and never did i hear anyone say that found the game hard to understand,so i dont really see where this handholding thing is coming from.But i honestly dont think i would see the skill unlocking at later levels as a negative thing myself.

Shivan.9438:

There are other players who use their instruments in a mature manner. They shouldn’t be turned down because 1 player decides to act like a jerk.

If it’s just one player..Why dont you simply move away from that particular player ?

It’s better to light a candle than curse the darkness.

Glory.1493:

its unfair to others who likes the feature patch.u made it seems game gonna die tomorrow while majority have no problem with this patch.it is just unhappy guys speak more.u can just delete the game and leave if u dont like it,but whats the point to post it here.nothing changed on every map. ppl still enjoy this game.could u just leave it alone and play someting else if it bothered u so much.

Realize that some people have spend Alot of money on this game…. And they can have all the right in the world to be mad imo.I think its unfair to say that others cant be “negative” about this patch.Not everything has to be sunshine and rainbows.

IcerXx.3670:

I love all the tears, rangers are SUPPOSED to be the strongest ranged combatants, we rely on our pets, and given the kitten poor AI and lack of useful controls for the pets, we’re significantly missing our peak performance, but oh hey, rangers are finally what EVERY OTHER CLASS WAS, FOR 2 kittenING YEARS, BETTER NERF THEM AGAIN.

Every other class can pew pew pew people in 3 hits ? What game have you been playing ? On a more serious note,there is something terribly wrong with the dmg output from rangers ( Think back to the pet dmg increase patch,that got nerfed really fast )..in this case,they just messed up..yet again.

Same here,nothing else to add.

I was still a kid when i played those but i do know that i truly enjoyed playing them !
Hate me for it ! ;d

Hey that zelda game was awesome for its time despite what alot of people said about it ;p

Collaborative Development Initiative cough

Lower fps,more skill lag,stomping is bugged,interaction buggs out at times and sword leaps bugg out randomly jumping to locations not aiming for..and youre awesome new siege disabler is Beyond pure awesomeness aswell.The game feels completely broken atm.

tanztante.6532:

get a team and play tpvp, yoloQ is absolutely ridiculous.

Thats not a fix,some people just like to play solo,should they be forced to go tq when they really want to play Solo ? The op has a point,make matches bases on rank…and put a 10 rank limit in between.So when youre rank 20 you will only fight people from rank 20-30 etc.But tbh..i dont think they can do this because there arnt enough people even playing pvp,i bet if they would introduce this you’l be sitting in a queue for an hour.

tanztante.6532:

how many threads do you need to open for this ONE bug. there are about 8 already. learn to read, man!

Maybe they should be faster to fix this ? Or ..this shouldnt ever had to happen if only they did some proper tests ?

I didnt understand the video..all those words hurt my tiny little brain !!

I dont +1 people alot…but you really deserve it,lol.

This patch broke more for me than it introduced or fixed stuff.My leaps are broken,stomping is broken,lower fps,the ridiculous adrenaline nerf,interaction is broken,the siege disabler in WvW is ridiculous..etc etc.
Atm playing this game is nothing but a frustation.

To be completely honest,the ONLY reason i am still logging in is because of the people i know..Not because this game is great and that im enjoying every second of it,because i really dont..imo every patch its going down the hill,and this patch is just..@$^&$Q#W^*!

A class evolving around adrenaline,and a change like this is just…I dont want to get myself infracted but its beyond stupid.For the fun of it,Use berserk when not in combat and see what it does to your adren.Absolutely nothing..you wont even gain 1 bar..you will lose adren faster than you are gaining it.The out of combat adren lose is also Way to severe,it just drains too fast and the drain starts happening too early.Were talking about a class where most builds evolve around Adren.It will again..push more people to go bow..and burst mastery is basically a must now.You’re just pushing all warrs into the same direction anet.Is this Really what you want ?

When you’re fighting throughout the day and winning battle after battle against siegehungry servers who don’t really like to fight but rather run away or port when they see you or cower away in towers.And having a decent PPT throughout the entire day.Only for them to wake up at night and crawl out of their caskets so they can run around and make whole maps turn their colour and holding it all those hours because there obviously is no resistance ( yes some people do have a life ) and winning the matchup because of it,Baruch bay for e.g,who you don’t really see during the entire day, untill its full moon.And when you do see them,theyre getting steamrolled or they port back quickly.

It’s an unfair system making servers win that really should not be winning at all.Ive been playing for 2 years now,and ive seen alot happen..Yet i see the nightcapping becoming a thing vs these servers.During the day theyre a complete bore to play against since the things i mentioned above,but that servers like these are still able to win because of capping empty maps in the middle of the night is just plain stupid.

This is a Huge flaw in your ranking system going on for 2 years now,asking for oceanic guilds or russians to join your server isn’t an option,weve had those..But sooner or later they all leave anyway.There must be a permanent solution,which there isn’t.

So,how aware is anet of this flaw ? And is anything ever gonna be done to get this in control ? Does PPT and the entire ranking system still matter when things like these happen ?

So what your saying is that it is okay for you to day cap and mock the server who run from fights with lesser numbers then you. But if they do kitten you the game needs a redesign?

Anet has no flaw to be aware of. As far as I am concerned your outlook is flawed.

If you do not want to lose ground at nigh, then play all night and not all day. If you do not, more of the blame is yours then it ever will be anyone elses.

Again..Im Playing on an EU server vs other EU servers,there is little time difference here unless those mentioned servers have lots of oceanic,american,or russians guilds,Which is a flaw in its design.If i dont want to lose ground at night then play all night ? Some people have jobs and a life and cant play 24/7,it seems to me you dont really understand the issue at hand here.And like i previously said we have recruited oceanic,american,and russians guilds in the past who all move on sooner or later.Honestly…please read before you post.

IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If it insta crashes for you aswell add the above fix Niewidka linked and add /nopatchui to the commandline and fixed !!! ;d

Why is this not working for me..someone also said to put the SweetFx folder in the bin folder…but then it insta crashes..;/

Aneeeeetttttt WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Gaile Gray.6029:

Several developers are looking into this now. Thank you for trying the suggestions above, and for reporting back. It’s very helpful when we get this sort of immediate feedback, and the devs are on the case!

Why when i move this folder around it says’ This folder will no longer be shared " ? Im not sharing Anything on my pc,can you please clarify,or what this folder an its dll’s are actually doing ? Do you also know this folder might be the cause,willing or unknowing of SweetFx to no longer work ?

Yes..i just noticed it when logging in. Its only a cosmetical thing,why has this been disabled ? Anet for freaking gods sake Revert this change !! Ive been playing for 2 years using Sweetfx…Why this sudden change ? I honestly cannot play with how grey layered and blurry the game is looking atm.

The best advice if you want to avoid night capping is to transfer to a T1 NA server.

You are really proposing that the best solution to this problem it’s that all people from the 51 server should stack on 3 of them and let ANet shutdown the other 48?

Ah, no, my bad. I meant that if you really want to go to somewhere where night capping isn’t a problem, thats the place to go. I think most of the wvw player population isn’t all that hung up on things they can’t control or at least don’t dwell on it and just go out to have fun each night. What I am saying only works if my perception of the WvW player base is true. I am not silly enough to believe that all servers could be cram packed into 3.

I get where you’re going with transfering but that really isnt an option for me,im playing on my server since the release of gw2 and obviously know lots of people here with whom i play with on a daily base in WvW/Pvp,i dont have my mind set on ever going to transfer off this server,its my home if you know what i mean.

No im not arrogant,no im not ignorant,and no i dont think the world evolves around me..now that’s been cleared up.I know many other servers have the exact same issue as mine,and the server im on Fsp consists of several hundreds of people who all go through the same frustrating deal as explained in my op.And yes our server has recruited guilds from different timezones in the past,but people move on as most do,and to continously try to recruit guilds from diff timezones to your server to fight this cause is an neverending search,it’s not a permanent solution.

I merely made this thread to see if the community can come up with a permanent solution to nightcapping and to hopefully make anet aware of what a frustrating deal it can be to win during the day but lose the matchup bigtime because of nightcapping vs no resistance and able to hold it all during the night.I know there are different timezones and i know those people want to play and want to have fun,but where is the fun for those people from those timezones that roam around for what is night for us on empty maps capping empty towers and empty keeps,knowing they do this vs a server where everyone is asleep ?

I just really hope the community can come up with a solution,if not anet.

Keep it going guys,but please keep it civil.

It’s far too easy for them to bail.Im a warr myself,and most warrs i see in wvw all carry gs..Give them 2 hits and they go back in the future while they popped berserk,stabi,and EP offc… ( all on 100% hp,pro stuff ).They need to start increasing the cd on whirl and rush,simple as that.Backbreaker on hamm has a 30 sec cd..Give rush a 30 sec cd aswell,and give whirl a 15 – 20 sec cd instead of 10.

When you’re fighting throughout the day and winning battle after battle against siegehungry servers who don’t really like to fight but rather run away or port when they see you or cower away in towers.And having a decent PPT throughout the entire day.Only for them to wake up at night and crawl out of their caskets so they can run around and make whole maps turn their colour and holding it all those hours because there obviously is no resistance ( yes some people do have a life ) and winning the matchup because of it,Baruch bay for e.g,who you don’t really see during the entire day, untill its full moon.And when you do see them,theyre getting steamrolled or they port back quickly.

Because the siege map limit will be reached,as it was happening before the decayer got introduced.And we couldn’t throw anymore rams Anywhere because of it ..and it was happening frequently..When people got a hold of it,they purposely started maxing out the map limit so No one could use anymore rams…No,it wasn;t fun.
