Guild Wars 2

List of Tamable Pets Location

i7, 8GB RAM, GTX 560 latest driver updated

Before patch I had 45 – 50 FPS & in massive crowd drops 20 – 25 FPS
Max. graphics settings

After the patch, there is a lot of stuttering & FPS dropped massively to 20-25 FPS & in massive crowd 1-5 FPS!!!

I first thought it was my problem, so I fresh installed windows, Cleaned the dust inside PC and all & nothing was changed

I removed HI-Res character option as suggested
Deleted the GuildWars 2 folder in C:/Users/Yourname/Local/Roaming/GuildWars2

Restarted the game & the stuttering was slightly improved

FPS is still lower than before

I know it’s not my GPU and it’s something changed within the game.

Just some stuff from GW2 Wiki what was supposed to be “Upcoming changes”

Just don’t take this post as a bad thing, just mentioning some of the stuff that are not added in game so far after 2 years

Yes, There were things “achieved” (New regions & Dragons, Ascended Trinkets & what so called balance)

But really, no new in-depth progression. Something we can play for quite some time rather than REPEATING private living word story instances or the 3 MAP areas recently opened.

The main concept “GUILD WARS” itself has not been achieved im sorry to say so.. There are no Guild Halls, There are no “Private Guild wVw” for example.
No race changes, no race added, no new professions.

I am an old fan of Guild Wars, and the reason why you MIGHT find some of the player base still compare Guild Wars to Guild Wars 2 is because we are old players of the game

Here is a small tip
Place the healing taurret
Click on it again for a cleansing wave
Click F1 to detonate during the heal wave for a blast finisher big AOE & Self heal

I made 4 Mesmer lvl 80
1 Norn.. then deleted
Then made Sylvari.. then deleted
Then made Asura.. then deleted
Then made Norn again & got Twilight

I’d like to believe we are first DPS.
I’ve been playing engineer since beta.
we have a beautiful “JUMP KILL COMBO”
and it’s still working regardless of this old video.
And try playing with Rocket

First I want to say sorry if this post disagrees with others.

I would like to know the future of Guild Wars 2, recently there were changes made & the “notable” part was the journal update. “repeatable” you guys are changing the concept of meta events to a “private instance that we need to repeat play it to get achievements”

Ok apart from this, why isn’t there any talks or discussions about an expansion
To me, and it’s just my opinion living story is losing its glory
With the silly Zerg play style. As some if not many might disagree but it’s really getting odd
The content you are adding are mainly achieved in a couple of hours after release
And we repeat it all over
Or it’s just a timely event that it’s done by a Zerg

Living story part one is over, it had its good and bad
Will we get an expansion? Will we get new classes?

I for myself have been an old guild wars fan
I’ve created several characters, some of them more than 2 times
I made 4 mesmers, 2 necros & 2 eles
All reached lvl 80 and every other class level 80
Yes I’m a hardcore player
And the new leveling system, traits acquiring is bad

I know it sounds weird & different how I’m having all these characters
But it’s been a year & I’ve done everything in game
Not once or twice, but I have over 8 characters lvl 80
Fully equipped

Ok back to the point
How long did it take to release guild wars 1 first expansion?
Let’s start by dates
Guild wars was released 2005 FULL classic map
Guild wars factions was released April 2006 FULL map with new classes
Guild wars night fall was released October 2006 FULL map with new classes
Guild wars eye of north was released 2007

Now I’m sorry, I know guild wars 2 is different but it’s not progressing like old guild wars
We still have the same class bugs after more than a year
We don’t have the FULL map yet
We don’t have any news about any expansions
Just small works, private zones of “living story”

I know u guys are working hard “if that’s the case” but you are not introducing much content worth long term enjoyment

I’m sorry if I’m upsetting any of you guys
This is just my personal opinion
Sorry for the long post
Hope nothing gets deleted

This is really nice, to be honest I miss the Mesmer play style from GW1
GW2 wasn’t inspired MUCH the use of GW1 professions nice skills
It’s mainly/mostly weapon skills dependent.

Back in GW1 a Mesmer is a shutdown & is a shutdown for a reason. in GW2 the concept of shutdown is relatively average of 6 seconds & that’s all

This doesn’t mean Mesmer in GW2 is done wrong, but it could have had more of the beautiful GW1 Mesmer. rather than a “MAINLY” dependent on the weapon in your hand

Nice post, Hope ANet listens and adjust things accordingly to GW1

To add further more, I hope they add Ritualist/Dervish & Monk

I fixed mine with the -Repair command
all good now

I login, manage to get to character screen, after I select any character and click play, the game crash

Nice fights
Post build plz

Will PvP & PvE have the same wardrobe?

for example: If I have a skin in my PvP Wardrobe, will it be available in PvE as well?

10% decrease in overall damage for a full “berserker” build.

Seriously, I am MAD!
Like WHY?
Sorry, consider me noob. BUT I like doing dmg.. HIGH DMG.
This is how I enjoy, during my entire time of playing I’ve been working my way to improve my dmg. output as much as possible, by applying vulnerability & having as high as possible Critical dmg.

Your so called “FUTURE PACK” (Rebalance) is not so good, I guess you can look at your graphs and see the difference of how much people login during the past month

What i’m seeing MOST in your up coming updates is “trying to let new players understand”
-more forcing players to play with 6 runes
-Trait points limiting it to be added by 5’s, instead when a ONE point in each line used to make a difference.

It’s about how you TWEEK your character to best suite you
not to make a character like 100 other beside u, using the same stats “traits”

Just received a reply & it’s all sorted out.

I lost my mobile authenticator & i’m trying to unlink it so I can add a new one
but everytime I login to my account & use the account recovery method the “Unlink Authenticator” button is greyed out.
And when I login to my account & go to security It is asking me to enter the “Current code from the authenticator app” which I don’t have anymore.
I sent a Request & got a reply to change the password.
But i’m not trying to change the password, just Unlink the authenticator

Request: 428496

Good job, very nicely done.

NERF STEALTH!

Getting this means that a hacker KNOWS your password & trying to login with it but ANet blocked the login.
First thing: CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD
that’s the first thing you should do. “A Log-in attempt” means that someone out there knows your password.

1st place Silver League Desolation (EU)
- stack of silver Dolyak finishers
-1 Mini Dolyak
- 5-6 blue!!!!
- 3 greens
- 1 rare
-1 exotic (98 silver on TP….)
-100 Dragonite Ore
-1 Tastes of Liquid World Experience
- 10 Tomes of Knowledge
- 1 Essence of Luck (Legendary, 500 Luck)

I’m sorry but Guild Wars has the worst reward system compared to the TIME spent to finish those achievements!

Guys, please; some of us do not like grinding much in pve “fractals” and we mostly do WvW, I or “WE” spent so much time to be able to get ascended accessories with laurels, but there comes a time where I or "WE want to play an alt & get bored of main, or simply made a bad choice playing a first class & liked the alt more. Please make ascended rings/accessories account bound, I know it can be turned account bound but I have to do a lot of fractals to get the matts to infuse them
There are some of us who do pvp mostly or mainly all the time

Again, please let ascended accessories account bound even after equipment
It’s too much time already spend gathering these laurels to be able to get the ascended accessories for 1 character

Thank you, I hope what I said means something…

Answer
1- BLINK
2- Phase Retreat

It’s been a YEAR now since the first release of a world changing event
THE MAD KING

So I thought about asking you all, which was your favorite event release since GW2 came out?

Well as for me Shadow of the Mad King was the most EPIC of all time
The theme, the concept, how it was designed, the beautiful Clock tower, the festival & rise of the mad king.
I don’t know, It’s just my opinion.. I’ve been an old fan of Guild Wars & was in Guild Wars 2 since the first beta.

Thank you guys for all the work you are doing.

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but I’ve been looking around and couldn’t find a way to transfer my old wings “back armor” to another character.
Because there are no white back armors you can transmute on

All you got to do is this, Get a Transmutation Splitter, use it on the desired wing to transfer, It will split all the items inside it & make the Dragon Wing skin “Account Bound”
Place it in a bank & log the other character you wanna use on
Get a Transmutation Stone & Voilà.

Again sorry if this was mentioned before, just wanted to share because I didn’t find it anywhere.

Have fun guys ..

OVER 2 HOURS NOW Didn’t leave the map and still in the GOD kitten overflow
Trying to enter Desolation BUT FAIL OVERFLOW!

ORRIAN ARMOR

Thank you guys for all the info & answering my silly question
After some more digging I found this software “AMD System Monitor”
It shows exactly which GPU is being using while on the desktop or browsing internet & when playing games

I ran it & on normal desktop/browsing it was using the Intel HD & after I ran Guild Wars 2, It was showing that the AMD Radeon HD 8730M was being used.

So everything seems to be perfectly fine, MAX graphics & all good.

Thanks again for taking time to answer this guys

I have a little issue or a question not sure
I got a new laptop Dell 5521
It has 2 built in graphics cards
Intel HD 400 & AMD Radeon HD 8730M

Is there a way to tell if the game is running on which card?
I want it actually to be using the AMD Radeon HD 8730M to use max. graphics & everything.

Just a little info:
I know that the new laptops has this technology which has 2 graphic cards, Intel HD for the desktop and when running games it switches automatically
But i’m not sure if it does.

So is there a way to disable the Intel graphic card by any mean permanently & I’ve tried to open the BIOS, it has minimal options & I can’t find a way to disable the Intel card.

Second
Is there a way INGAME to check which graphic card it’s using? I’ve tried to search everywhere, but couldn’t tell

Your help is much appreciated.

So, after lots of gold spent and boring crafting
Down to 1 gold remaining
here is the ugly Zojja’s Musket!

After a lot of farming & annoying crafting & lots of spent money
Here it is, the ugly rifle!

So, Our kits damage match highest Exotic weapon level
Now as we know that After the first patch, our kits got 5% increase dmg.
which is the difference between Exotic & Ascended
Couple of hours later, ANet added another Patch HOTFIX lowering down Kits dmg. back to Exotic weapon level -5% dmg.
Legendary Weapons now match Ascended Weapons which is 5% more dmg.
1
My question
If I have a legendary “which I don’t” OR Ascended weapon
Will the kit dmg be up again the 5%

OR was the HOTFIX meant to never increase our kits dmg. EVEN with Legendary or Ascended weapon equipped.

Just a little side note

PRICES WILL NOT GO DOWN
And no, do not start trolling it will go down in a month or two. It’s ridicules

Look at the Legendary precursor weapons prices now, They just jumped 200 Gold
I’ve been playing the game from the start, 1 year now and you NEVER see the price of precursor go down.
The T6 matts will stay high & all of them will remain high once Ascended armor is introduced

Just some digging, found this video added 30th of August
Showing all the Matts needed for making Ascended weapons

just on a side note, ANet the TP prices went sky high & this is totally irritating

Ascended Crafting

Yea, Engineer as CriSPeH said, sadly it’s a shotgun with no snipping
If u want to snipe, pick warrior

At the moment I’ve got 1.1k Healing power, a quick question; is there a down side as I heard that over 1k healing power there is a down side or something?

I’m using full Cleric armor + Jewelry & Boon runes & “Power/Toughness/Vitality” Daggers

I’m sorry if this is the wrong place
I’ve been an old fan of the original Guild Wars
& I would really like to have a Ritualist in Guild Wars 2, It would be really amazing to play with spirits once again

WE exist

I eat children at night!

Huge Lagg in Cursed Shore in Desolation
Loading screen keept for like 5 mins
then it loaded but HUGE lag, can’t heal/move/dodge etc

tried another character in different place
Guild roaster lag, Friend list lag, but moving around map is fine

It’s a trait

Self-Regulating Defenses
Drink an Elixir S at 25% health. This effect cannot trigger more than once every 90 seconds.
Self-Regulating Defenses
OR
Automated Response
Become immune to conditions when health is below 25%.
Automated Response

/dance
Nice fun build, sweet music <3

NORN..
Nothing more to tell

MAKE KITS/Weapon Kits get stats from our weapons

This will be a total KILL to engineer if any of the Dev’s messed with it or adjusted anything in it

I really mean it, This is the ONLY powerful kill build you can play with

I’ve been running around with this exact build for quite some time
THIS is one of the most powerful alpha kill build IF not the only one now for engineer after all nerfs
And I’M hoping Static discharge does not get nerfed/lower dmg/remove bouncing effect
THIS is the only reason I still play my engineer & loving it
Never was grenade dmg, flamethrower, mines or anything

So yes, IF you want to experience the real power of engineer Rifle+DPS stick with this, Pure glass cannon and you can EAT children with this all day long

I REFUSE to use any weapon kits/grenades/elixir gun UNTIL they benefit from my weapon stats

War. but the issue here is not, their rifle being better then ours. its NOT. ours is better then theirs. The issue is they can spam 17 stacks of might with ease, and then fire a 20k killshot. wait for CD’s (which is only like 20s) and do it again.

Kill Shot CD is 10 seconds
You hit average of 15 – 20k with it and with their updated Healing Surge It refills their Adrenaline 3 stacks
with10 seconds kill shot recharge

What I was talking about r the attack skills, And the way I compared it was because RIFLE has the highest Max. dmg than any other weapon

Engineer is meant to be with Rifle & not to be in close fight, R A N G E D
And if u r saying Blunderbuss is powerfull cuz of the bleed
Warrior “1” apply bleed his auto attack

And I still hope we can get some kind of BURST dmg skill if not something like Kill shot

The might stacking isn’t 10s. Kill shot without 14+stacks of might is more like 8k crit.

Throw wrench is plenty ranged burst.

I’m not talking about might stacking
I’m talking about Kill Shot Recharge, It is 10 seconds.
And Warrior can maintain at least 15 stacks of might 100% all time
Again, I’m not talking about buffs
I’m just talking about the attacks & their use

Greetings ANet & everyone,
I’m sorry, But I LIKE DPS & i’m very likely enjoy shooting from range
So don’t feel offended anyone

ENGINEER RIFLE ATTACKS needs to be redesigned, PLEASE!
Yes I have a warrior & I enjoy Kill Shot .. but Warrior is meant to be Melee & I quite enjoy professions weapons role playing in teams.

Engineer rifle is only “AUTO ATTACK” It is ridiculously designed & their attacks are really poor compared to other classes

I DO NOT want to play grenades/flamethrower
Please, Re-design the Rifle attacks for engineer

It’s really SAD only playing with auto attack (1) in groups & just drinking elixirs

I’ve been having annoying LAG Spikes for over 4 hours now on Desolation
Not just one map
in Personal Story/Dungeons & several maps

Every lvl you get 1 skill point & there are Skill point challenges all over the map
even after you reach lvl 80, your XP bar will refill & get 1 Skill point per lvl
So don’t worry about it, just keep lvling
You will have plenty of skill points
