well i agree with OP .. before the dailies were just perfect. Now something like this can happen .. Forage plant in ascalon (ok) , mine in the shiverpeak(ok) now the rest of the dailies are PvP or WvW stuff you don’t want to do or can’t do …. and the last option to complete is a event like Fire Ele , Golem mark II or Jormag …. but wait .. you just logged in and missed the event by a few minutes.. now you have to wait 1 hour to get it done … some players don’t even have 1 hour of play time per day
It’s a good idea but some of the dailies is just plain bad like doing X amounts of event in a map .. this bring a massive zerg in a zone and the zerg do events at hyper speed .. so if you can’t catch up ….. well .. wait for the zerg to calm down and waste your time in the same occasion.
Revert to the old system , i have done 7 times world completion and i’m not interested at all to hunt all over the place again on a new character. I want to play like i want , not like YOU want. YOU have taken away my fun to start a new character… this new NPE is NOT fun ..
You actually did the opposite of simplifying the game for the new player .. they are now ‘’ confused ’’ because now they ‘’ Google ’’ for the traits and you have punched in the face every veteran players who knew the old system … well done.
ill never create a new character … ever .. until it’s reverted.
Those instructions are quite old, and the options that were the same were in the correct place.
When I followed the instructions on this site I realized crossfirex does not appear to be working for Guild Wars 2. I tried three other games and each had the logo in the top right, whereas gw2 did not.
I read several sites suggest that the profile for gw2 wasn’t pointing to the correct .exe in 2012, but with the current AMD drivers it doesn’t appear I can alter profiles like you could back then. I haven’t seen any real recent discussion on this matter either.
Humm Custom profile are in since 2011. You can make one then it will warn you that there is a existing profile , you can choose to override it. And also CrossfireX only works in fullscreen mode… even if a game support CrossfireX , it will never work in windowed mode. But any duals card setup nividia/AMD or whatever is totally useless in MMOs
im in the same boat the OP , i have 16 Lvl 80 , 6 x100 %World completion , 8 legendary , all done before the new NPE.
Now i have two more lvl 80 but without traits and the new NPE is extremely disappointing . i want the old system back .. i have NO interest for trait hunting all over the map , i want Traits unlock as i Level PERIOD.
make Dust bricks , Drago ingots , empyreal stars , something between 70 – 100 of each .. max your collectible tab ( not bank tabs ) then destroy the rest.. and future loot
The new NPE is ok .. i don’t mind the level restriction for the Adept , Master , Grandmaster trait. what really bug me is the trait unlock system.. kill this or do this to unlock a specific trait .. i dont like it.
If your level is high enough to unlock the Master line then all Master traits should be available right away or if we unlock them via skill points+ gold or by completing something then make account wide for this class. I have 14 lvl 80 including 4 Guardians , why i need to to do 100% Lornar’s Pass completion 4 times to get the same trait on each character ?
this system is annoying , i play this game since its debut , i know every bit and every corner of the map ..why i have to do the same boring things over and over to unlock the traits just because i want to play the same class but with a different race ?
i want this to be added to the player instrument .. is annoying and some players purposely harass other with this … i mean just say in game that you don’t like this backpack and you become a magnet to everyone with this backback .. they all stand by you and try do stuff to make the Annoy-o-Tron talk to annoy you
Sincerely , i think cape in GW2 is a very bad idea. At least until they figure a way to transfer more workload to the GPU. Currently things like shadows , reflections are done by the CPU and the game already hit kitten the CPU.
Unfortunately the capes enter the Animations graphic option( controls model animations and simulations, such as cloth and water , low,mid,high) Introducing capes in the game will require even more CPU power. Imagine a WvW fight with everyone in capes ? The minis are hidden for a reason when there is too much players around.
Finally , how do you manage the capes + back piece + shield + engineer hobo sack ??
My experiences in the Labyrinth demonstrate how much this is not a problem: every so often (certainly less than once per door) a knockback happens from someone leveling up. Someone says “no knockbacks please.” I explain about this. At least one person every time says something like, “I’ve been playing the game for 2 years (or have 8 level 80s, etc) and never noticed that.”
If so many people don’t even notice it, I doubt it’s that much of a problem.
I tried to explain this many times in the Labyrinth too … they are pushed back a little but the effect seem to be greatly exaggerated if you level up right on top of a stack of mobs. It also don’t work everytime so i can understand why some player never noticed this before.
This push back effect was abused in WvW with Tome of Knowledges , when downed you could use the tome to push back your opponent , refill your health and rez yourself. Today they cannot be used while in combat.
precursor from a ToT bag ?? nah … it’s just pure manipulation to drive up the bags price
a Fake ‘’ legit ’’ screenshot It’s easy to do .. all you need is two account or a friend you trust.
Put your precursors into your personal guild bank and have your second account pick them up and then mail it back to your main account. Now on your main account just start opening a few bags to fill your chat log with stuff you get from the bags .. then open your mail and loot your own precursors , close your mail windows and open 4-5 additional bags ..
chat logs will show the stuff you get from the bags and something like ‘’ you receive 1 Dusk ’’ between the lines .. take a screenshot and post it on reddit.
simple as that.
No offence but this is laughable. This is Guild Wars 2, not Wall Street Online. What kind of person is going to go to such lengths? Besides, it’s not like a post on reddit is going to change anything.
Personally I think some people who play this game need to get out more, they’re starting to sound a bit paranoid…
LoL … it happen all the time .. you don’t remember or you don’t know the Potato crisis
do you ?
Anyway , so far i opened around 6 K bags and got nothing special , not even an endless tonic. I will continue to farm them and open them until i have enough halloween pails for my Alts … this is the only good thing to do this year.

Why the Dev don’t show us what they want to do BEFORE putting it in the game ???
That way we can work TOGETHER to improve things BEFORE it go live and AVOID this crazy nonsense forum.. you know …

i have no idea what are you talking about , played EOTM all night yesterday with my necro and got tons of light armor to salvage for silk .. i get heavy armor too but not in the way you describe .. in fact , since the patch i play exclusively my necro in cursed shore and EOTM because i want silk. I have an Ele and Mesmer and the loot are similar ..
i think the dungeons are ok .. how can you expect tons of loot when you can do it on auto-pilot and in a average of 10 / 20 Minutes on certain path ….the rewards must scale with the effort and difficulty and this is where this game fail at.
I have done over 300 fractals if not more and no fractals skin yet … you can get all the worst fractals and Mai Trin as the final boss in a Lvl 30 + and you get ZERO ring at the end .. when im getting one its a Healing signet or a Ouroboros Loop .. my bank is already full of both ring …. oh and if you get a exotic armor its account bound !!!
Why in this game the easy stuff is more rewarding then the difficult content !! … i get more loot in 30 minute in EOTM than in a high Fractals ??
That option already exist and its called a Bank. Its account wide
In WvW You can access your personal bank through all guild bankers, including borderland bankers and Guild registrar.
Talk to a guild registrar and selecting first option “I want to access guild bank” and if you want to access your account then in the window on the top left select “Account Vault” instead of inventory, open inventory window with ’’I’’ and you can deposit/withdraw. It work in all borderlands as well as regular areas where a guild registrar can be found
I’m having the same issue. It is SO frustrating. I’ve been robbed of many boss rewards since that update.
Normal content is fine… but bosses crash a lot.
Attached is one of the crash-logs
Please…
do you overclock your CPU or custom settings ? im just asking because i have also random crashes with with errors that make no sense since the last patch and im trying to figure it out
It started with Tuesday patch (09/30/14 ), i have more than 3 500 hours in this game over the last two years and i never crashed like this before this patch… now it crash 2 or 3 times each time i play.
They did something wrong or there is a bug this time … the last time i crashed it was during the Scarlet event on the Giant Drill in LA … everyone was crashing before starting the fight with Scarlet hologram so … not our fault.
Yes the shield mastery is evil. I like the idea of using it for ambient killer daily.
“Bunny Basher” title for my shield mastery, please.
It really is that killing blow that makes it so difficult to get regular mobs to count towards it. At least it’s nothing like the Yak Slapper title requirements.
Maybe Anet will have some sympathy and allow some environmental weapons to count towards the shield mastery.
use shield guardian skill #4 Shield of Judgment , 5 targets , 30 sec CD
It will never happen , legendaries effect are unfinished , inconsistent among classes ….
For example .. Rodgort deserve better footfall , also If you use it on a Guardian the projectile effect is changed on skill #4 but if you use it on a Ranger the skill #5 projectile effect is the same … so before improving one , they need did to rework all of them for every class.
But , like i said it will never happen .. A.net now use short-cuts and avoid everything that require lots of work … New armors skin is outfits now ….
lol , uninstall and all the ‘’ graphical junk ’’ will go away ..
This game is all about aesthetics and ‘’ look at me ’’ , if you really don’t like it you’re playing the wrong game. I know someone who think that legendary are inflated toys and hate them .. but the same person change his look often and always have the last Black lion weapon skin .. so …
Triple Trouble rewards are really bad for the amount of time it take to organize and the troubles you get for trying to get in a organized map .. and even if you are in TTS or not.
On the other hand , Tequalt is perfect.. i mean even if you get load of crappy blues and greens as rewards you get at least a nice chunk of karma , somewhere between 10 – 12k so its better than nothing.
The Triple Trouble reward is one hour and half of your life wasted.
Yes it can happen , i remember getting the sword Bonetti’s Rapier and the shortbow Stardust from the old Queensdale champions train with a low level character .. you can get lvl 80 stuff with champions bags/box/pouch
I think 300 Gold +Badges is right to get a Blue tag .. then make each color at 100 Gold + Badges.. to get a colored one the blue one is required.. .. so if you want a yellow tag it will cost 400 Gold + twice the badges for someone who currently do not have a Tag at all.
for example if there is 5 colors available including blue .. it cost 700 Gold and 1 250 Badges to get them all …. i think its fair that way
GW2 is the most un-further-developed MMO I have ever seen. After almost two years there is lack of typical stuff like:
-new playable races
-new classes
-new crafting disciplines
-new skills
-new weapon types
-new dungeons
-new raids
-new pvp modes (WTF!?!?! I found 1 mode ridiculous during release, but after two years it’s just embarassing)
-new campaign/continent (Elona, Cantha)
-…
The only thing that has 100% attention is the gem store, the gem in their hearts, the one shiny emerald tear that brings the company’s finance department to joyful bliss.
GW2 was an unfinished product when released in 2012 … they had a golden chance to start new but they choose to keep DX9 .. a big mistake. So much things was missing in the first months … just to name one the crafting stations was unable directly to use your materials in your collectible tab … you had to have all the stuff in your inventory to craft … no one remember that ?? It took one year and a half to fix crafting merchants in ebonhawke …. the list is so huge …
