Hi, guys.

These crashes started this morning – straight from the game (where I am sitting in Mists) to a bluescreen. I’ve tried to reinstall all drivers, virus scans and such. I bought this laptop brand-new for GW2 before the release. I’m quite perplexed on why now after so long of play time.

If you need anymore information please say what or how; I’m not too keen on the technical side. I’m thinking I should take this computer to a repair-shop, but it’s only doing this with GW2 as far as I can tell.

Any help is appreciated as always.

Thanks!

Here is the Arena.net logfiles.
(edit: okay, not sure exactly the right way to post the massive amount of text. I added attachment at the bottom. also added a snippet of the beginning)

khani.4786:

I prefer this end >.>

great placement for those water jets coughcough

that is one epic picture.

Lol, yes I agree as well. I WP in to the area and he’s (pet) dead within 30 seconds.

mercury ranique.2170:

as said, the orr explorer has everything to do with unfogging the maps and nothing with map completion.

Off course, area’s where something is for map completion can be considered to be done (although some hearts can be done in more then one area.
So you have to look for area’s that have no such thing.

So:
- Sea of Elon http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Sea_of_Elon : Though hard to miss if getting the PoI Cadrigan’s Jetty
- Zho’qafa Catacomb http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Zho%27qafa_Catacombs
- Malchor’s Fingers http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Malchor%27s_Fingers : there is a vista at the edge, but it might not register properly as unfogged there.
- Penitent path http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Penitent_Path : although this tunnel is the most used tunnel for certain event farms, it might be something to miss.
- The Artesian Waters: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/The_Artesian_Waters : You do this one during a personal story

So the most logical thing your missing is Zho’qafa Catacomb so check that one first

Well kitten it all… Zho’qafa Catacombs! Your logic is right on target! Haha.

I just had to unfog, so thank you all for that tip, I had no idea. Very good choice. I’ve been stuck on this for a good 6 months, no kidding.

Howdy folks,

Like the title has it, I’ve gone over all 3 maps (Malachor, Cursed Shore, and Straights) numerous times, 100% for each of them, yet I’m still 59/60 for the achievement ‘Orr Explorer’.

Is the Arah dungeon (explorable) needed for this?

Thanks for the help.

Serraphin Storm.2369:

$10 that’s like two beers or a kittentail at a bar that will just go into the toilet an hour later. Plus you can just use gold since everyone has like 200g sitting in the bank now.

Going to the movies by yourself runs about $30 with popcorn and snack and who goes to the movies alone. So it will run you $60. Considering how much fun and time I spend on GW2 $10 is a bargain.

$60 for a movie trip? Wow.

The birthday gift?
I opened it on my lvl 80 and have used it on an lower character. I traded it via my bank account. Maybe deposit it in your bank and try your low level? Or it could just be a bug.

Vortex.4780:

I’m on my way out from playing this game, all the new updates seem silly and the performance in this game is terrible. The game feels like a job and although I can be content at times with the game, I never have moments I consider “fun” anymore. I guess it was good while it lasted, now what to do with the 1000 gold I have saved up….

Whaaat.. I’ll take it.

Lokheit.7943:

Someone once suggested to have counterparts for every legendary, like twilight and sunrise, like for example a counterpart to the dreamer that features nightmares (fantasy fiery horses) instead of unicorns (and the name nightmare would go well to oppose dreamer). This would be a great counterpart to meteorologicus (though I would remover the halloween move to disconnect it from specific festivities).

Haven’t heard that before but sounds like a fantastic idea. Def. love the ‘nightmare’ counterpart to dreamer.

more loot for jormag champs!

Lafiel.9372:

Theftwind.8976:

The sheer amount of materials required to fashion an ascended weapon is ludicrous. I have read fantasy novels ever since I was knee high to a grasshopper and considering “Stormbringer”, “Excalibur”, “Sting and Glamdring”, “Werewindle”, and “Callandor” nowhere could I find a sword that requires over 800 ingots of metal to create. (not counting all the other materials). One can overlook the 1,500 ingots used to create a Legendary such as Twilight as those are used to create a “Gift of Metal” which then becomes part of the sword’s creation. With Ascended however they do not even bother to hide the grind behind the story of a “Gift”, just throw all this stuff into a forge and you will get a sword light enough for you to wield with special powers.

They could have done it differently and still dragged out the process as long as they wanted to. Clues in the world to special recipes, certain beasts to kill for special reagents, skills that need to be required by practice, and so on.

Sadly game developers have lost the ability to tell stories in their games and to make those stories believable. That lack of believable storytelling is what turns great games into a grind. They take the easy/lazy way out by increasing or inflating the costs for items in materials or gold rather then adding real content and sadly this process exists in all games. A game starts out with great promise; there are new stories to be told; new discoveries to be made that fit the story being told but eventually they reach the point where that story no longer makes any sense. It gets lost in the inflation of gold/materials/time or more commonly known as the grind to fill in the gaps.

Single player games have a finite timeline. They have a beginning and an ending to tell a story and thus can be made to be more believable. MMO’s are meant to be ongoing so the timeline they can encompass does not end. The lack of a good story is filled in by the grind and this is a good example of that. One day, hopefully, a developer will begin to understand that the greater and more believable the story you tell the greater your game will be.

This game does not need more developers, it needs more story tellers.

Very good point.

Re-quoted – excellent point. I couldn’t have put it better.

Talking about the ancient wood logs and ori, I’m making (at most) around 1.5g with an outing of logging/mining between the two zones. Prices are insane right now – in a good way for the seller.

There’s a slide?!
Shame you can’t actually slide.

Crap! Missed it! Morrr.
Glad you are doing these events.

See! This is what keeps an MMO healthy for new and vet players alike! Glad to see more enjoying it in contrast to the loudness of those who do not.

Knote.2904:

You know what would be a really fun simpler version of this?

If there was a way to teleport friends/group members to you, you could all roll lvl 1 characters and do this “hardcore” style.

You teleport to a random spot in the world, then have to make it to a city w/o dying and if you die you’re out.

Imagine being teleported to Orr at lvl 1 and doing this? LMAO that would be intense.

That actually sounds pretty fun! Ah, if only! Good idea.

I think it’s a personal preference. I’ve loved Rangers since GW1, but for now, I put my main on the shelf till it gets a revamp in the future. It’s still my favorite go to profession to play for new content (PvE) and any PvP – but for the more challenging content – I reach for alts.
All in all though… I’d say: make it!

A similar thread was deleted a few seconds ago (also with an all-caps title… Funny that!). This isn’t new. I’m fairly certain they know about since it was responded by them in the Tech Support.

Jah.6148:

I gave it an hour, no communication. Chargeback initiated. I can’t be worried about their problems if they aren’t worried about mine.

A little premature, don’t you think? That’s almost funny and sad at the same time. In a year I’ve yet to see this problem for creation.

Ahh, thought I was the only one!

Also having the same problem as of 1pm. Cannot create characters. Same error as everyone else.

squirrelzilla.5809:

^^ Nice looks all!

Here’s my Sylvari necro, Luna, decked out in a mix of cultural armor, Twilight Arbor, and the starter mask. My inspiration for this character’s look… Tim Burton movies.

That’s actually really impressive; Tim Burton movies… Spot on! Good inspiration for a necro I would make as well.

chemiclord.3978:

Elbegast.6970:

The short story was released three days after the patch. If it weren’t a retcon, why did they not release it on patch day?

You know, they also did a post-release story on Canach as well. There is no difference. I personally don’t see a problem adding lore after the fact.
And what forum backlash do you refer to?? I have yet to notice backlash to scarlet’s back story…

Little frustrated with that one as well.
Tried a few times before I noticed. Grr.

The Glob of Dark Matter, what is this? I assume it is a drop from Clockwork Chaos?

Khisanth.2948:

All these emails I’ve been getting claims they were sent in 2011. Before anyone’s account even existed. Before anyone knew what the release date was going to be.

Conspiracy!

Name: Domino
Main Character: Dreadful Berlin (I have many alts that I constantly am on)
Current Region/Server: Northern Shiverpeaks (US)

Do you want to be a member of the guild Legion of Honour Y/N: Yes
Are you happy for people to contact you directly (whisper/PM) Y/N: Yes
Additional Comments: I’m in a guild, but it is not too active these days. I’m more than willing to help another guild and guildmates on the side. Thanks!

I recently started a new character. I made chef and artificer from level 2 to 26 (28?), than joined in on the gauntlet farming. That took about 2 days. 12 gold or so; which is easy to get at the pavilion.

That should get a good headstart for you. GL.

Genius!

/15 char limit

Ranger (80): 713 Deaths, 299 hours

Not a chance. Not everyone (at all) has 12 hours to complete monthly achievements.
For me, the monthly is tough enough when schedule permits… that’s within the entire month.

I’m shocked as well on these results, namely as I play a Ranger since release.

I believe these results are based on, like someone above mentioned, a knee jerk reaction (i’m talking of Ranger) from this recent patch.

Ranger is excellent in open PvE, if not the top best. Again, someone above mentioned soloing champions many professions cannot do on a regular occasion. Dungeon… Yes we all know about this… horrid. Of course.
sPvP: again, at the top. There’s countless videos in the Ranger forum showcasing this exact discussion.

I find it funny how Elementalists are not mentioned at all, though…

Gercoa.7490:

what I hate it how much it costs to even try the build. I have most everything, I was already spec’d to pow/pre/crit But no horn, just the horn and the scholar is 50 gold. lot to spend for a test… Is’t there a cheaper horn with same spec?

I’d say any horn. Spent 1g on mine, same Berserker stats.

Cool build; just tried it myself. Thanks for taking the time and experimenting after this latest patch.
Def. far from the usual bunker builds.

Has OP or anyone tried this with axe/warhorn or axe/axe?

Jumping puzzles, most will probably be out of your range, which is a good thing: you can explore the regions till you find the puzzle. Good loot, and time consuming.

Another which I hit at above is exploration, which gives exp, with everything else.

Find yourself a big group event, like dragons or champions.

There’s two apps for jumping puzzles and large event timers you can download on your phone to keep track of as well. (“guild wars jumping puzzle” and “guild wars temple dragon timer”)

There’s another thread right below with the same thing.

But I completely agree.

I find it a tad sad as well, being as there was a blog post about the Dragon Bash Theme Song… “Matthew’s new lyrics fit that vibe perfectly. It’s the sort of song that everyone in Lion’s Arch would know and love.”

I’ve yet to hear this in the game. Maybe I am not going to the correct places? Instead, it’s a gloomy tune in LA.

I loved it, and sincerely miss it. It was my main after Ranger till GW2.

It wasn’t just a new profession, but a whole new look; armor style (Africa, tribal sense), etc. How I miss that Scythe.

Such a silly “How To”.
I don’t think there’s much though-process on killing some holo’s.
Seriously… 15 days.

Looks fun.

A few have done this in other MMO’s with great results. Looking forward to it!

Ethics.4519:

I’d DL on android.

Like another posted above, the issue of ‘why’ to leave should be addressed.

The reward system is a tad skewed and skimpy. Aside from the achievement, there is no reason to stay behind if your match turns sour for you. A little enticement can go a long way (coffers).

I myself would stay knowing I can still get some coffers if I’m losing terribly. Why not?

I love this minigame, myself, although I can see why some do not enjoy it.

I wholeheartedly agree on the imbalance of the teams, though.
The start seems to be more important: whoever has the first few kills seems to keep it going, and when you have only 2 starting against a full team, it makes it frustrating.

I also agree on fixing the reward system to make it more enticing for a losing team to keep going. 1 coffer for winning, nothing for trying, isn’t a motivation, aside from an achievement.

Ah, logged in to reply.
I love the dragon ball; I enjoy it even after getting the achievement.

I do agree, however, that the reward is rather skimpy. Like numerous others have stated above, raising the coffers to 3 for winning is reasonable. As it is now, 1 candy for winning is silly to say the least. With 3, you get more candy for more rewards, and an extra kick at something special.

1 coffer to the losing side also gives a chance at goodies for playing, and will keep the losing team in-match rather than exiting when it turns sour for them.

Maybe a switch to the “suggestion” forum might be more helpful?

SirNuX.2371:

Still not working, I’m beginning to think that we cant fix it ourselves, but Anet has to do it on their side

I believe you’re correct.

Doing the earlier mentioned fix of deleting the “Local.Dat” file in documents does not work anymore.

Tried twice on this fix, logged on, and the"buy" and “sell” buttons are still greyed out.
Hopefully there will be a fix on the near horizon.

Still unable to load/click on the ‘sell’ or ‘buy’ tabs of TP; starting from 04 Sept.

Can’t sell or buy items on the trading post.
I was able to buy a few items yesterday night, but that quit on me a few hours in.
The “buy” or “sell” button isn’t clickable (is that a word?). I can browse a refresh items, though!

It is a bit distracting; I’m having the same issue, which forces me to go back to the “normal” setting for interface.
