Guild Wars 2

I did what others have suggested and dropped my audio setting in GW from highest quality to one notch less. I haven’t seen the issue return, though I haven’t done many extensive battles since… I did some zerg runs in Orr, where it happened to me a couple of times, but all was good after the change.

If you guys have not done that yet, I would suggest doing so to see if it fixes your issue.

Add me to the list of people with this annoying bug. It always happens for me during large group/boss type battles.

Sometimes I can continue to play with it, but most times as soon as I activate the chat window to vent about the issue the game immediately crashes to desktop.

Please fix this ANet!!!

OH.. one thing to note… I got armor smithing to 400 WITHOUT discovering/crafting any T6 level items. I finished using just Mithril weapons. I haven’t even purchased a T6 recipe.

@Tysefol,

I too thought this way when I was attempting to level my weaponsmith. I farmed mostly and had someone else farming for me as well (we have different professions.. I give her food, she gives me the other mats).

It worked for a while but I felt it was taking ages to level my crafting. I didn’t see any real profit in it and eventually ran out of mats that I gave up. I got my weaponsmithing to 300 and armorsmithing to 100 before level 50 I do believe. First was farming then I opted to just pay for mats which got prohibitively expensive.

I started to play the game and eventually got bored and wanted to level my craft again. I ended up buying all my mats and recipes and leveled BOTH weapon and armor to 400 in less than 5 hours… all for less than 5 gold total out of pocket (I sold all my rares as I discovered them). There’s a really simple way to do this that I found. I wasted so much time, money AND karma from the start until it “clicked” for me.

All in all it’s not hard. I even consider myself a casual player. By the time I quit crafting the first time, my roommate had surpassed me on the level front and was only getting mats that I could yet to even use.

Heck now I’m a master crafter in 2 professions and I have nothing to do with em. Mats for exotics are simply too expensive for me to craft and I don’t see squat for drops.

Maybe I’m a dunce, but I cannot notice ANY noticible increase in speed with this trait enabled, though I’ve only tested while running through a city. I’m testing by swapping weapons while running from my dual-wield axe setup to my rifle. Unless they consider a rifle a melee weapon I don’t see any change in speed.

It’s either that or the buff provided is so small that I just can’t see it. Either way this trait looks useless to me as well.

I second the circle strafing. I’m a Norn Warrior too, with dual axes. I take on Champion Spiders solo simply circle strafing. They can’t touch me. By the time they attack, I’m nearly behind them. I’ll take on 2-3 at a time with this method.

The only time this ever fails is when additional players join the battle as they distract the enemy to the point you end up strafing right into their attack. You have to take caution not to do this.

FYI… the cost of selling on Trading Post is not just 5%. That’s just the listing fee. Once an item sells, an extra 10% is taken. Total cost 15%!

Trader competition aside, many people are losing valuable coin that could be in their pocket. It adds up!
