Guild Wars 2

I think dungeon runes are soulbound because they also want us to utilize crafting disciplines, and we can make every single rune with the disciplines.

I also haven’t run across many (if any) Soulbound Exotics that aren’t from Karma Vendors, though I do have an account-bound amulet that will soulbind on use.

At the most, I’d say to make the Soulbound items account-bound.

Since the patch, many guilds have implemented a 100% rep requirement on all characters for the sake of influence and missions. This seems to go against the point of being able to be in multiple guilds and represent who you want depending on character and what you’re doing.

A simple fix for this would be to show you as offline unless you are representing a guild. I like my guild that I am in, but I only ever do PvE with them because not many people are interested in PvP, and with over 400 members I don’t have the time or patience to remember everyone and who likes PvP vs PvE and what characters they have.

I also share a guild bank with friends that we use for just that: a bank. But if I rep that guild to access and fiddle through it, I run the risk of being removed from my “primary” guild.

Unless my Blood Fiend can passively heal, or it’s healing from its own criticals, Reaper’s Touch does bounce to minions. I have not been able to actually see if the Blood Fiend or other minions get the Regeneration boon due to the game constantly crashing, but I will get back to you when I have that information.

This is the crash I get every single time. And I run repair every single time. Cut it off at “World State.”

Uninstalled, fresh installing, and even cycling my RAM did nothing to stop my crashes. I have not been able to actually play to simply complete my daily achievements because of this.

So, when I tried redownloading the installer, 100% of the time, it would crash Google Chrome. Luckily I was going to stop using Chrome soon anyways. But attempting to download it with Firefox worked. So, exporting all my bookmarks and password from Chrome, uninstalling it, and seeing if somehow that is interfering.

Every time my game crashes and I start up, it tells me to run the repair, and I do. Is there a different repair I should be running?

So, deleting all non-essential GW2 files did not work. What I’m going to try tonight before I go to sleep is uninstalling completely and download the online installer and do that and see if, by chance, it makes a difference.

I’ve even re-installed Starcraft and Diablo III and run those for hours and those don’t crash at all, neither does Steam, my Steam Games. or World of Warcraft. Only Guild Wars 2.

So, I am posting this to add my Corrupt Log, and then going to see about simply deleting every non-essential file for GW2. The ones that it self-creates when you log on and change settings, etc. etc. I will let you guys know if anything changes.

The crashing isn’t the most irritating part for me. It’s having to run the repair after every single crash. Here is my ArenaNet.log though.

And now that I am looking in my GW2 folder again, I have several .DAT files named Corrupt-#######. The 7-digit HEX number following corrupt is different for each file, though this seems to be related to the repair as more appear every so often.

Ever since the patch, I have been crashing rather frequently. Today it’s been more frequent than ever, with crashes ranging anywhere from every 5 minutes to every two hours. Unpredictable, and it always results in me having to repair the client before I can play, which takes roughly 20-30 minutes.

I’m running Windows 7 with 8GB DDR3 RAM, if that makes a difference.

This goes beyond the standard “my staff goes in my ear” problem that exist.

When I gather armor sets, I make sure I have an appropriate weapon. My Asura is an Elementalist, and right now, my main problem is that unless I use a staff, all my weapons are concealed when not withdrawn. I might be able to see part of it through my leg armor, but barely any worth noting. I have searched for several leg armor styles, and haven’t found anything that works.

Does anyone have any insight on this?
