Guild Wars 2

Friend and I both on High End SSD so this is not the first time happened. I remember back in October or in Beta. This issue happened before.

Just to bring some attention to WvWvW players. I made a post under suggestion for Anet. I hope you all can add some input to see what’s better.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/WvWvW-Visual-Indicators-option/first#post2514903

This concept may already been brought up by other players, I’m sure that I am not the first. But here is my concept indicators as an option for some other players.

1. Add an option to enable icon indicator.
See Picture Here
This is good for those who don’t want to see bunch of text on their screen but they also want to see or spot enemies easily as people with text enabled.

2. Player can always hold down CTRL key anytime to display all enemies names. If they have the option “Show All Enemy Names” unchecked (This is already there)

3. Concept demo I’ve photoshop those new icons in.
Current WvWvW: See Picture Here
Concept WvWvW: See Picture Here
p.s. Scroll to zoom into the picture.

4. The concept above, all the enemies including 2 other servers you’re against will shows the same icon.

5. Other solution is to have the icon in color depends which borderland they are from.
See Picture Here (Please don’t request for my artworks.)

6. Additional notes, the enemy you target will always full display the icon and names. This is making it easier to see who you targeted on the field of zergs.

Q&A
Yeah but I need to see the enemies where they are from + guild tags. I can’t if it is just all icons.
First, this is an additional option for those players who wants different visual. Secondly, option or not, you can always hold down CTRL key to reveal their title and server names.

Please, feel free to post more suggestions!

Sad and unhappy I found out I can’t play some of the songs properly by the change. It gets interrupted and mute out as soon I tab the same key again and hold.

Rapier is coming…

I’ve missed Hunger Games event in Beta weeks of GW2. Thank you for bringing this back!

Really? I’m on Windows 8 Pro at the moment. Could be the DirectX updates.

Jeremiah Lee.2764:

Please let us know if this is still happening. Which transform exactly? Were you in/out of combat at the time? Right after combat? What graphic settings were used at the time? Is this 100% of time when transformed? Any additional information that may help is appreciated.
Thank you!

Yes from anything, Ele elite skills on land and underwater. Transformation tonic etc.

It said in the description.

25x Quartz Crystals can be turn into 1x Charged Quartz Crystal per day per account.

25x Charged Quartz Crystal turns into 1x ??? Quartz Crystal?

That is 25 days in order to get 25 Charged Quartz… I guess everyone should start farming a tons of Quartz Crystals in hand before the event and map close down in 4 weeks. Then you can slowly progress your went making a lot of Charged Quartz for other stuff you want.

Yes it was the Ascalon Fractal. In that case, I guess it would be involved with transformed.

To answer to others, I was on Ele and all my skills aren’t able to change where you can click the little triangle up items and also in your Hero panel. Nothing works, it click down but it doesn’t popup the list of utilities to select.

After, the fractal of Ascalon ended and port to the next one. I was able to switch and same goes for my other party member.

You have to disconnect from the game and relog join back and die when you zone in.
You will die if the party member is still in combat.

Not just dying in the dungeon from mobs.

Fractal, if you join in into the dungeon and died due in combat party. You won’t be able to switch any skills until next fractal level.

Anet Dev is already knew about it. Hotfix on Monday/Tuesday.

Oh good, that’s a relief! Hopefully both scepter water 2 and focus fire 4 would get fixed. Was this mentioned somewhere in the forums? (I tried searching but I get no results everytime)

Oh man late night… I had bad gramma what I wrote xD.

He mentioned the bug in the Livestream video Dev talk about Elementalist at the end.

Anet Dev is already knew about it. Hotfix on Monday/Tuesday.

Mh…? I’ve been running my system over many months. Just after the contents patch everything got slower.

Is it just me or the game is indeed taking forever to load on my Vertex 4 256GB SSD…

Today, Isaiah Cartwright did a livestream for Elementalist. I am wonder did Mesmer ever has one or not yet?

Looks like thief.

I got this error at the completion of the dungeon reward popup.

Happened to be in Orr from Risen

GTX 670 or HD 7850 I recommend. Now they are good time to buy due the next gen is out.

Apparently the recent GW2 Lag issues ‘might’ be a combination of problems.

NVidias last driver 320.18 seems to be causing troubles in all games…

I went back a few versions, and my fps got more stable but not better. Meaning, in 320.18 – It was 1-2fps …and it would lock up /freeze ( but not crash ) for like 15 seconds at a time.

After I rolled back, to version 314 – it was 2-5fps – would lock up / freeze for 5 seconds at a time – so It’s an improvement but 5fps is still a problem.

Some are suggesting the last stable nvidia release is 310 – I have not tested it yet, but I can say that at one time – particularly beta – GW2 was running well… but progressively got worse and worse.

GW2 and the Nvidia driver issue seem to have one thing in common – It works fine for some people, while others with strong gaming systems are having major issues.

Check the comments section of the Driver page at Geoforce – http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/articles/nvidia-geforce-320-18-whql-drivers-released

I guess to further analyze from here you would have to compare who is having fps issues with non Nvidia cards to compare how much of this bug is coming from either Nvidia or GW2.

edit – it should also be noted that the recent Nvidia drivers ( possibly newest intel MB drivers also ) have been causing system cpus to run hot and shut down. People have been posting about similar issues from game sites, as well as a 3D / animation software site I’m a part of. My system has also been shutting down a lot in recent weeks – but I thought this may have had to do with failing fans / dusty cpu / hot weather. – after going back in driver – my system has been acting more stable.

Not really at all.

You will play fine on Auto settings with that spec but not with Supersampling. + You’re going to be on 1080p.

I am just curious all these time my latency over 100ms is consider quite high already.

Cable speed test is low 13-15ms from Toronto.

Honestly, this might not be the best place to ask about overclocking. Please head and sign up at http://www.overclock.net . The community there is huge to help overclocking. I have the same name tag on that community website.

Greeting everyone!

If you can choose 800×600 option in the game, that is not Windowed mode. That is Fullscreen.

Dude /facepalm.

What you are experiencing is uneven refresh rate… 62-63FPS … turn on Vertical Sync (Not frame limit). Secondly seeing GPU at 90-99% load is GOOD. That means the game is using the GPU effectively.

Makes no difference still about 25 FPS in Mount Maelstrom on low and 15 in Southsun.

I wasn’t talking to you. I was replying to OP.

Yours in other hand, there is not much you can do with low FPS you will experience shutter latency frametime. Every monitor is standard 60hz and you need 60FPS (59.9 FPS) constant for a SMOOTH experience. If you go above or below that number. You will experience frame shuttering latencies over 30ms.

Samsung… laptop in my guess without graphic core module (GPU / dedicated GPU chip). HD4000 is not a GPU but iGPU which is integrated into Intel CPU. They are the lowest graphic performer. Hence the price what you pay for, don’t expect a $800 laptop can run games at max framerates.

You guys need to understand about how things work on Mac… they use a wrapper engine over the GW2 engine in other to run on your Mac like a Virtual Machine.

http://transgaming.com/

Problem is the lack of support is from Transgaming in my view. The game files .dat file is the same as PC file. It is and proved because I’ve copied the game data into the content folder on my MacBook Pro 2010.

The issue is the emulator is what most people sometime have with different hardwares and drivers.

I will recommend you guys to run GW2 under BootCamp if you can. Much faster and stable like PC gaming.

Dude /facepalm.

Overheat? Spec?

Some area happens like that, Anet knows since they have heatmap of Framerates from world wide players.

Hopefully they will optimize it.

Is the partition NTFS?

Helps colorblind people.

If you don’t like it you can disable it.

Network Error again!

I am getting Network Error… all the time.

Amik.2906:

Well in the moment I play only GW2. I would like to play with a little more fps. In the portable (its the one I play for now) I get 30/35 in PVE low/medium. In wvw with zerg I have to put minium and with a lot of skills the fps go down a lot!

Yup, there is nothing you can do… much unless you have a spec like mine. xD

SolarNova.1052:

And ofcourse now its the 23rd u can always go balls deep and get the monster that is the GTX 780, its been reviewed and benched, You thought the GXT Titan was good ..ha take a look at the Overclocked vrsions of the GTX 780 >:)

http://www.overclock3d.net/reviews/gpu_displays/gigabyte_gtx780_windforce_review/1

Stock versions come in at £550, so yes its over budget but its the best GPU out by a big margin 20%+ over the 7970ghz and GTX 680.

The Oc’d one is so good, im gunna get one .. hehe ..then i can laugh at all those who watsed money on the Titan :P ..well ok maybe i wont laugh at them, im not that obnoxious ..but ill have a giggle :P

Hmmm…. for STOCK OC of course… /facepalm. You haven’t seen custom modded TITAN BIOS shooting up to 1200Mhz and 7Ghz Mem. at 1.212v Power 115% 320+watt…

GTX Titan is still far superior if clock the same way as GTX 780. btw TITAN is 3 months before GTX780… so enthusiast as always. Best of the best if you have the money, and if money is not an issue at all. Of course price per performance is just bomb.

Portable (CPU wise)

For other games base on GPU heavy would be the desktop one.

But I can’t say much at the moment. Anet is changing or tweaking the engine which seem to utilize the GPU more.

CPU is very important on this game. You don’t want to go wrong with that. GTX 460 is decent for this game, you can keep it if you like. DirectX 9.0 game anyways.

There isn’t much they can do unless they rewrite the TP from ground up not base on Web interface fonts and graphics.

I don’t understand why they can’t integrate just feed data into the game UI and list them via game graphic and fonts instead of having a viewport of a web interface.

I used MacType mod on Windows Fonts to improve the font antialias, this also affect the TP I’m serious. I set to small UI and it looks good with that mod on.

Search “MacType” first link by code.google

I’m thinking this crash shows up when someone has some specific gear models on them.

Game just crashed randomly in Southsun Cove…

I’m wondering will it change on May 28th patch so my friend can finally join me in WvWvW…

He has been waiting for 3 weeks.

Episoph.5289:

People tend to overlook the positive sideeffect of being focused: it is basically an invite to carrying any pug group!
I’m fine if i end up in parties where i get focused (even when i am on classes that are new to me) because when i mess up it just means, that i have to play better .

Guild Wars 2 has a combat system that gives you the tools to overcome sticky situations with practice and knowledge of the encounters. If you are being focused by cc heavy trash, then guess what: they all have animations, so dodge them when you can and use armor of earth instead of running away.
Staying in combat and being focused means the rest of your team has it easier. It is an incentive to improve and learn to handle the situation. If you are a good player, you can carry your groups as an ele in full zerker gear and if you dont like to have to be on spot with dodge timing then switch to more forgiving pvt.

Problem, those mobs charges at you and toss you on the ground. I’ve ran out of dodges, 3 break stuns and I have Vigor regen up time 100%.

I can solo vet and champ with my Ele but I can’t handle for having 6-7 mobs constantly charging and stunning each on its own and stack on CC. The during stack and you’ll end up flat on ground for 5 seconds. During the 5 seconds, the mobs can repeatly apply stun on you. That is like deadmeat.

I know my profession from inside out. Consider playing MMO for over 20 years experiences.

Thank you for the inputs and sorry about my mood there. I needed to get it off my chest for a long time.

Again, this is 1 out of 10 happens to me without any particular reason why I am the major target in the whole dungeon. Like I must died from the view of all enemies in the dungeons.

Not to be blunt, I’ve been playing on my Ele over 2000 hours and 2nd Legendary in progress.

I’ve been in many built also train and taught some Ele how to combat in PVE mostly.

Thing is those 10 mobs each do a stun. Can you counter that? NO. It needs DIMINISHING RETURNS! It’s out of my control and watch my character died from belly flat on the ground.

I can’t call that fun.
