OP is a troll..his ID is xxxx.9562.if he played gw2 for more than 2 years there is no way that 4 digits start with 9….more like less than 3 months

i laughed at u real good when i saw how easily u think u can assume something as reality when u know nothing about it.

i m actually getting used to it

6k hour, almost 10 legendary, 2 year later the game is still almost the same with some minor changes. Even tho the game focus on cosmetic, majority of the good looking/ unique looking ones are lock behind gem store. This is no different than other f2w mmorpg except its pay to look nice.

You just prove the game’s worth its initial cost. Thanks for playing with us and may you find a new game worthy of another 6k hours.

If you don’t mind, I could use some of your tips and tricks. You can PM or maybe post a guide somewhere. Or just send me any of your gear/gold/whatever you can afford. Have fun and good luck

6k hour consist of doin the same 8 dungeon path each day, and afkin in LA, waiting for the tp, chatting, bsin, and complaining about how this game is like pay to win instead of gear treadmill u have pay to look pretty. How nothing have change much, and every patch brought along more gem store related stuff instead of gettin it doing the content. Even if u can get it through game play, it is usually lock behind more rng, Ghost dog…

you are right …maybe come back after major update and see how s gw2 doing..cya man.
but for the ff14 part i dont know if its worth spending time on.its like a WoW without pvp part…and of course much better graphic…ppl come and go after every major expansion cuz some ppl get tired of gear grinding while some just get ready to catch up with their old buddies after took break from 1 or 2 gear rank gap…i used to be crazy about this gear progression thing but unfortunately gw2 fixed me….now i have no game to play besides gw2 cuz every other mmo is “world of gear score”…i blame anet..it feels like they fixed my drug abuse and then put me in jail

cya in a couple months when you realize nothing else comes close to beating gw2, eso,wildstar,wow? take your pick

Actually moving FFXIV

That game is so dead have fun playing an mmo with not many people compared to gw2 the second most popular mmo. LOL

What are you even talking about .…dead?

that is a good game and its 2nd most populated mmo out there.only problem for me is raid is too hard. mobs is too strong. i dont mind they made challenging boss fight that require extreme cooperation but i cant stand killing mobs in dungeon take 80% of time

OP is a troll..his ID is xxxx.9562.if he played gw2 for more than 2 years there is no way that 4 digits start with 9….more like less than 3 months

redownloaded the whole game and reinstalled win7/nvidia driver….not working

plz fix this i have been searching for same problem but most ppl says it grey out due to 32bit os… i m running win7 64bit and had no issue with high res character texture before halloween patch.the latest patch fixed texture box but still this high res character texture is unable to tick

sirsquishy.8531:

its the configuration .dat file under your user directory. Delete that and it will let you select the high texture settings again (it happened to me last night and I’m on win8.1 x64 ATM.)

i cant locate that file ..could you be more specific about where it is?

pmargeti.7680:

same issue as OP.
running 64 bit OS and had no issues with high res textures before the halloween patch.

did the latest patch fixed high res character texture problem? mine is still grey out

arjov.8649:

as you can read in the title, i also have “High-res character” grayed out. Is that an intended move trying to force scale down graphics for better fps experience ?

hey op i had same problem yesterday..after the lastest patch my high texture is back but that high res character texture still grey out …do u have same problem?

Healix.5819:

Try deleting the folder %appdata%/Guild Wars 2/

This is where your local settings are stored.

not working…its totally grey out….i tried to force enable by geforce experience but still not good….

after todays patch high texture is back but scroll down to high res character texture it is still unable to select!

brokenrabbit.6538:

Glory.1493:

yea i know that.but it has nothing to do with why they disable it

Actually the devs were talking about FPS issues with the 32-bit limitation on the tech support forum just last week. I’ll see if I can find it, but I’m not going to do more than a rudimentary search.

wait.. u mean if i have 2GB video card the game can only address 3.25-2=1.25GB of system RAM and windows use the rest of no matter how many?

brokenrabbit.6538:

Glory.1493:

i m running 64bit windows7 and 2gb video card ram .my pc ran at maximum setting b4 and no problem for that . i m sure it used to be there until todays patch

Your OS is 64-bit, but GW2.EXE is 32-bit. GW2 can only address up to 4GB of RAM total.

yea i know that.but it has nothing to do with why they disable it

brokenrabbit.6538:

Glory.1493:

brokenrabbit.6538:

They fubared the framerate/load stutter with the 9/9 patch, and this is their ‘fix’.

i have been running all high/ultra for a year then today they disable my choice of best looking setting?this is really weird

Apparently they didn’t foresee the limitations of a 32-bit client (4GB of addressable memory max). Note that this includes both system RAM and Video RAM. So if you have a 1GB video card, you can only use 3GB of system RAM (for the game, the OS can still utilize the rest of your RAM).

i m running 64bit windows7 and 2gb video card ram .my pc ran at maximum setting b4 and no problem for that . i m sure it used to be there until todays patch

so is this a deliberate change or some kind of glitch?

after i use geforce experience to force enable high texture and stuff. it works in game but the setting is blank now.plz fix this

brokenrabbit.6538:

i have been running all high/ultra for a year then today they disable my choice of best looking setting?this is really weird

my texture setting is limited to medium after todays patch and the high-res character textures setting is no longer able to choose. how can i fix this?i do remember it was high or ultra.this bugs me alot

prypiat.7406:

Woa, that grammar was hard to read. I don’t know anything about anet but seeing there is the Gem system I’m sure they get a lot of income from players buying gems. Like I said, I don’t know for sure but I imagine anet is doing just fine.

gem store is a good idea but it needs active player base but for now no one knows how many ppl still remain active.for instance there used to be 2 dueling room full of ppl at asia/aussie time but there was none when i logged in yesterday .it feels empty everywhere now but its not like this 6months ago when TTS can manage kill 2 3headed wurm while both maps hard capped but these days they cant even get 1 hard capped map.it surely a decline playerbase wise but i hope they r still financially healthy

first of all i love this game. i wish it could last long than wow or gw1.but for now it surely experience some hard time due to lack of expansion. its ok for me i dont require that as much as other ppl do and i wont quit playing in foreseen future. cuz this is the only mmo without gear progression and i love the combat system.but my greatest fear is anet do u still make money from gw2?is it still profitable or at least cover the maitanance cost/staff salary?if it does i m ok with all the slow path u take toward expansion cuz i know as long as gw2 still profitable that expansion or whatever u call it will come eventually and bring players back.but if not(from all the datas i have been tracking these months its really hard to tell)…i doubt that there is gonna be a bright future for gw2.but either way i will stand for it and be the last guy quit.

Vayne.8563:

OP, there are currently three software sites I know that track MMO popularity and google trends tells you how many people have searched for a specific name.

In every single place where game popularity is mentioned, the #1 MMORPG is almost always WoW. And the number 2 or 3 MMORPG is almost always Guild Wars 2.

It’s likely Guild Wars 2 is the second most popular MMO on the market right now.

How can it not have a future?

can u give that 3 website plz i have been searched for that datas for months and only thing i know is google trends.u can send me ingame mail.ty very much!

pessimist.7294:

This game got a future. A dark one, in a grave, forgotten and hated on the internet.
Even if they manage to pleasantly surprise us with the next big update I doubt it will recover so fast from the last Feature Patches. Because they have to make up for what they missed to do in 2 years: New classes, new Races, more diversity in armor skin style, more pvp modes, new areals which takes more than just 1h to completely discover, fix of reward system for world bosses and so on. I could go on for hours to list up whats missing in this game. And with every day passing they fall further behind the other MMORPGs.
Also they will be new ones soon like Black Desert so GW2 will have a hard time in the next months. If they manage to pull of something well done and big they will able to buy some time to think over their strategy until now. If not there will be a mass exodus and thus the end of GW2 (at least for the European and NA version).
Thats why Im still waiting for bodybags, gravestones, and crematories to be sold on the gemshop. I want to bury my characters properly when this game died.

i agree most of what u said but the “fall further behind the other MMORPGs.” could u plz name 1 better mmo in last 2 years when gw2 made nothing big? i doubt there is none.indeed gw2 lack of expansion but other company did worse….what mmo beside wow has more population than gw2 atm(archeage not called cuz it will fail very soon)?if u know it plz let us know i will no doubt give it a shot.i have played every major mmo out there and none of them can sustain there player base like gw2 does.i m also kittened by anet lack of expansion but i dont know what else better to play.maybe thats the question

okok guys here it is…..anyone noticed the new mesmer gs3 kill? they buffed the circle radius from 120 to 240which is really good….but why….hehe…lol…makes it looks like something else suddenly comming out of ground stick into the sky……….

very good review

Vayne.8563:

I think that make more and more threads that say the same thing instead of posting in an existing thread doesn’t help anyway. It just makes work for moderators.

If I saw a thread that said I like this game, I might post in it. But I wouldn’t post a separate thread saying I like this game.

Sure you can complain. But why take over the entire forums for the same complaint over and over?

cant agree more

its unfair to others who likes the feature patch.u made it seems game gonna die tomorrow while majority have no problem with this patch.it is just unhappy guys speak more.u can just delete the game and leave if u dont like it,but whats the point to post it here.nothing changed on every map. ppl still enjoy this game.could u just leave it alone and play someting else if it bothered u so much.

Oh my god u can speak english

this dude works for trion

While this is currently working as intended, it’s definitely something that we’ll be working on and tweaking in the future. We want you to be able to enjoy your minis so hang in there!

This was in the patch notes. If you volunteer to move to a more populated map, you get a couple of bonuses; movement speed by 15% (in PvE only), karma gain by 5%, and experience from kills by 10% for 10 minutes.

It’s strictly so they can reduce the number of maps in use at any one time, which frees up CPU & Memory resources for other stuff.

You’ll probably see this most often on maps that have World Bosses that spawn on them – You get 500+ people all decending onto one boss which opens up multiple (overflow) maps, then when the boss is over the maps empty out except for a couple of people who decide to stay (on that map).. So then you have 3, 4, or more maps with just 2 or 3 people each one them.

see the chat log

Shrug.. Sounds like a bug. Stop the presses.

It’s not a bug. Check out the Customer Support Thread at the top of the forum. ANet themselves say it’s working as intended.

guys focus on the chat log!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no words can describe how I feel nowT_T

i have been reading all these thread complan about how suck it is to lvl a alt except no one mentioned about anet increased exp u get from doing low lvl events that makes u lvl much faster now but this is not what i m gonna talking about.
if u truely gonna quit gw2 fine just do it,u can just enjoy real life and all, but if u want play another mmo stuff.i dont think u have much choice there.look how ESO and Wild Star works on market.they are dead already,FF14 probably have a descent player base but thats more like a game for ur son and daughter.and WoW?thats for ur old man. so u probably now downloading archeage?fine give a shot for like a month I m sure U will be back then. thats a game sucks than ESO.
but I do hope we have a better choice.
saddly we dont.

???????????????????????????????????????????????VIP??????????????oh sorry wrong forum don’t shoot me I m innocent

HHR LostProphet.4801:

It’s like a suprise bag every update.
First got Frost Spirit nerfed, now Quickening Zephyr prevents finishing an enemy.
But Mesmers still can use Distortion and Engineers still can use Elixir S.
I really don’t know what the balancing team is doing all the time.

why u say there are nerfed??i dont see any changes about these 2 skills.and i noticed the gs1 skills got buffed from range 130 to 150

only thing ppl dont like is the way to lvl a new character.which is fine to me:u get less skills but u get more exp which means faster to lvl up to the lvl by which u can unlock all the traits and skills. whats wrong about it?to reduce skills combination could surely make new player feel less confused. i would say the early version of lvling is really confusion to me the first time play gw2.now seems make more sense. to vets player it is alittle bit unconvinient cuz lack of skills.but all in all u can lvl faster than b4.

laokoko.7403:

does anyone know what benefit being a vip provides for GW2 China?

Since many things from GW2 china are coming our ways, think I should get prepared for possibly future change.

the vip system is like u pay 5$a month and u will get a discount to buy stuff from gemstore and ur ID will displayed bigger to other players. im sure its 5$ if it comes to NA/EU server cuz everything sold in chinese gemstore is at the same price compare to NA/EU.and if u continously pay for the vip u will get a precursor of ur own choice at the end of 1 year.so normally ppl there just pay it for bigger ID display.and its purple color.

this is not chinese words.i m chinese but i dont know nothing about what does that mean.more like japanese to me

Simzani.4318:

If Anet call simple fixes features, can’t we say that by their standard we already have few expansions ?

1 : southen cove
2 : healing skill
3 : edge of the mist
4 : dry top

According to their standard, we had 4 expansions. The work they are doing in background, where they have all of their 350 employes working on minus the 30 LS team dev and the lone dev that made the fix patch, is the next expansion. My bet is one utility skill shared class-wide for march 2015, wich will be required to defeat the dragon.

thats too much to ask if u take big changes to the cmd color they made.my bet is there is no dragon to defeat.it get killed by the plant virus b4 we can get to it

the first place when i post this thread i dont mean to dicuss something about the financial report itself.i personally think they r doing fine financial wise.cuz gw2 still has the 2nd largest player base among those major mmo(first 1 is wow for sure).and a company who make 100million per year should have cover their cost long b4 .they have no problem to make continous changes to gw2 while working on gw3 or something else which i m sure they r doing something on it.as for they r not allowed to talk whats gonna change to gw2 like a expansion or not.we d better focus on something that can be done quickly.that is the gemstore.how about seperate new hair style from that total make over kit?what about make some new armor that looks really cool?not some thing u come up with after ur cat and dog had a fight.how about fix the issue why every single armor set they sold on gemstore looks ugly on male character than female?how about change the facts every heavy legging armor we can get in game is such slim on male(works good on female) that makes feel i took an arrow in the knee when i was kid then my leg stop growing..thats the topic i wanted to dicuss in the first place and i would love to see ppl have another thoughts.

BlueZone.4236:

Yep, looking forward to another Gamescom incident next year.

what was the gamecom incident?

after read all these comments i feel my english has been improved …..thanks for the rewrite tho…kitten i should have learn english better to play gw2

ZudetGambeous.9573:

If you are gonig to comment on this thread then I suggest you actually take a look at the financial report. Look at the 5 page pdf summary that’s all you really need.

Highlights:
1. The figures include china’s launch, it is stated on the first slide.
2. Revenue is down from last quarter even with the launch included <—- VERY bad sign
3. Wildstar did not sell a lot of boxes, it has a much much smaller player base
4. China only sold 1 million boxes (see reddit link above), far less than the 3.5 million in the US/EU

There isn’t much to discuss, the game is in trouble, I suspect we will see something similar to SWTOR happening soon. A period of odd quiet followed by the leak of major restructuring at Anet, followed by an announcement that the game is taking a “new direction” (P2W mode activated, or expansion announced). This will take 3-4 months and will probably be announced around the next feature patch after S2 ends.

try learn something about accounting

Kurrilino.2706:

Ok.. here is some break down from someone who comes from the financial sector.

A downgrade from 30 to 25 million is not slight downgrade.
It is a little under 5%

For people who don’t care it is not looking too much.
But if we keep in mind that the chinese launch created at least 6 million more accounts
this number is devastating.
I don’t know how many of them are really active but the fact that GW2 accounts almost doubled and create 5 million $ less is a horrible sign for the financial
aspect of the game and raises red flags.

I agree with most poster here who say the Gem Store items are incredible bad
and even if you want to spend money you can’t find something you like.
The game taking the opposite direction to what the fans want isn’t helping either.

if u check the report again u will find the chinese launch does not account in the 25million of Q2, its account for loyalty fee which is prepaid to ncsoft maybe in 2013.and report did say thanks to Wildstar in EU/NA and gw2 launch in china blah blah blah.there is a growth in whole of gw2 for ncsoft but not in the 25million cuz it doesnt make sense if they put china release into 25million and said thanks to it we get 25million from gw2 and it help us increase revenue but its not as much as it sold in Q1

ncsoft released its 2014Q2 financial report(http://www.ncsoft.net/global/ir/earnings.aspx)
gw2 generate about 25million dollars in last 3month,and alittle bit downed compare to Q1(30million)which almost the same to 2013Q4,i dont have early figures about the whole 2013 fiscal year but here i can come up with some financial status about gw2.yes it remain stable.and probably gonna reach 100million dollar at the end of 2014, i know its alittle bit going down YoY2013 .but if u take look at other major mmo on the market(swtor,wildstar,eso,ff14),i have done some reserch on these mmo(each game forum,3rd party figures from mmorpg.com)every figure i got told me gw2 sure has the largest player base among those mmo, but nearly get the lowest revenue(swtor get 150million in2013 which has the smallest player base among those mmo above) .here are some thoughts why it gone this way.one thing must be the b2p model,gw2 is the only b2p game here, this surely wont get as much as p2w and p2p at the start,but whats comes after is the gemstore. as gw2 is not a p2w game, anet cant stats related stuff on gemstore like other mmo. but they sure can sell good looking skins which they didnt. u cant say black lion weapon is awesome nor armor skin from “style” on gemstore, some of them are even ugly.i believe this is the only mmo that i complain compay dont sell enough on their real money in game market.this is weird,if i work as a product manager who devs very little products that wont match the needs of customer, i probably get fired many times already.and from the fiscal report we can see most revenue anet got was from gemstore sells and new player.(china launch is not included in 25million cuz its break down to loyalty revenue) .both of them are actually same thing cuz ppl buy stuff from gemsotre no matter they r new or vets. summarized as this,above all the mmo the mentioned b4 .gw2 has largest player base while make lowest revenue(its still stable after 2years launch which is good).anet u reallly need to reconsider the stuff on gemstore and decide what to do next.do it quickly

I m pretty sure rune of ranger works with mini for now.is this a bugged or deliberately designed with miniature?cuz mini never die and u can have them with u in dungeons/wvw/open world pve, if this is not a bug and it must be better than rune of strength after patch hit when most ppl has mini
