Guild Wars 2

I won’t change any hardware or software because of a game. I’ll keep login and play this game just because the new mmorpg is not released yet if the crash problem is still unsolved. Playing mac version of Blixxxxd game never get any problem so far. No chest loss, no need to say dirty words in front of my screen. Playing should be happy.

Easy now….

It is not easy to develop for the Apple Mac platform, your platform has yearly OS releases which force the developer to update their software to be compatible, if they don’t do that then in a year or two the OS which supported the initial software will no longer be supported by Apple, which the end-user (you) will be penalized for.

Come to think of it, why are you complaining anyway? You belong to a niche group using mostly overpriced and underpowered (gaming wise) machines, plus the hassle of yearly OS cycles, it is not suprising that ANet can’t keep up with the Mac version, and I don’t blame them. Since the majority of their playerbase is using PCs.

If you have a capable mac machine, then just dual boot into Windows 8.1 which is much faster than Mac OS X anyway (I know from personal experience and bechmarks) and supports all the games you want.

If you are right, why anet makes a mac version and sell at the same price as PC version?

I agree with that making a mac version game is not easy. Just a few EA games have mac version and they are usually not released at the same time with PC version.

But as a customer, a company making a mac version game, will believe that it has confidence to make it as good as PC version.

I was kicked from original world during Jormag fight after crash today again.

LOST CHEST AGAIN.

Waiting for next jormag and crash again? No, I won’t. It is wasting my time.

Once again, game closed during Jormag fight and kicked me out of the original world. That means I was in the world without jormag. So I lose my boss chest again.

A ten years old famous mmorpg, players suddenly disconnect can re-login the same map and continue the sernario. I wonder why this game created in 2012 can’t do it.

My problem stated above a day ago. Unfortunately no reply follows. I’m extremely disappointed. How dare here called " Tech Support".

Except random crash in wvw big fight and world bosses, I also got a crash problem. When the display becomes unusual like below, game’ll close.

iMac
21.5-inch,
3.1 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 512 MB
OS X 10.9.2

Crash in wvw seriously, every day, every hour…

So am I. Crashing many times during switching maps or charters.

Hope tomorrow all of us get the real Black Lion Trading Company, not Big Lie Trading Company.

Hi Anet and Tech support for Guild Wars 2 …. I am an avid player since GW2 launch and have well over 1500+ hours of play…
I am aghast at your inability to solve issues in a timely manner with MAC users … This is entirely inexcusable …
Come on Tech support and Anet …. There is NO reason to have so many problems with MAC let alone have those problems be allowed to make it into gameplay….
Do you NOT test your updates-patches with MAC client prior to launching for
gameplay …
UNREAL
This current problem with BLTC ( Black Lion Trading Co. ) and all of its functions not working for thousands of players is shameful at best … The game is unplayable at some point, which I am sure most of us have reached , due to being unable to sell items from your inventory as well as with progression help in crafting
( i.e.. buying and selling items ) …
There should be not only timely and swift explanations to this and all issues concerning MAC clients but this whole half kittened hack solutions at temporary fixes to this issue make me sickened ( paste this, paste that, make a dummy folder and erase lol ) …
WE DESERVE things tested for MAC before patches are released and if by some chance that something gets by an immediate response as well as a real and permanent fix …
You not only owe us this but should send some form of value back to us for all the game time you have wasted for us …
I should not feel bad for writing this or even have to write it … This IS on point and needs to be adressed …
Please get it together …
Loyal GW2 fan ( but not sure why anymore )

?1 sure I want too.
But give us what? tradable or not? Giving u a iMac head skin to distinguish you are mac player? or pets? If tradable, nothing is better than gem and gold since they are the currencies in this game. We all have different kind of favors. I’m afraid the gift can’t satisfy all of us.

Bear in mind that man is greedy, if we can get something by this incident, I think the whole forum will claim for loss by various reasons.

It works. I must say thank you to the mac team and Sarah keep going on to make solution. Hope it won’t happen again.

noor.7960:

You guys never seem to read the previous pages !?! There IS a quick temporary solution called CROSSOVER!! I’m using it right now to sell my stuff at least till the new patch OR till they fix it.

I saw it.

Don’t make any logical error. Why not we play by a PC?

We go to a restaurant and order steak. But a hamburger comes out. The chef says hamburger beef and steak are the same when they are digested in your stomach. What a joke.

I think one gold per day to affected player is very reasonable compensation because we really keep losing gold everyday.

Only 1g??? I make at least 3-4g every day simply by running dungeons. This kind of service by Anet makes me wonder if they are actually doing anything at all.

I don’t mind Anet to pay more. I had to salvaged rare and exotic items which should be sold on TP. The price is more than 1G as well.

I think one gold per day to affected player is very reasonable compensation because we really keep losing gold everyday.

No one knows when the TP problem will be solved. But one thing I know, after this game released, mac players has been affected by different kind of bugs which severely ruin playing experience. Each time new patch released, mac players are the first to bear severe problems, for example, crash and broken TP. Unfortunately, solutions always came late. It makes old problem solved, but new problem appears.

So, I am quite sure something “new” is waiting for us on 15/4.

“Additional new, but yet thrilling features, exclusive to mac clients. Coming soon on 15/4/2014”

ty Dothl Lai!

It can be roughly estimated that the most easiest class to be killed in wvw zerg is Guardian. I don’t know what builds they are going. However, many of them are wearing in 80 lvl armor sets. And I just going for defensive build, so damage is not high.

Deathmond.7328:

Relentliss.2170:

Boring. I am not sure how but Anet seems to make the class more boring with every patch.

I am feeling same – playing as guardian become boring!

I just put my guard at cursed shore wp for the events of Arah Gate and Grenth because of her super loot ability of staff. There is nothing left but only staff 11111111111.

I used to delete the “local.dat file” before login. 95% the TP functions normally.

After crash, I
1. was get killed, UNACCEPTABLE!!!
2. have to queue up wvw again waiting long long time, UNACCEPTABLE!!!
3. world boss has been killed already, lose chest, UNACCEPTABLE!!!
4. was moved to overflow, UNACCEPTABLE!!!

So much I lose because of the crashes everyday. I claim for my compensation.

Disappointed +1

I’m thinking of switching to warrior as main class again.

I think guardian’s sword auto 3 attack is very weak. 1/2 sec per attack is too slow and without condition damage. The third attack is the most powerful but it probably misses without cripple effect at the last sec.

When switching to my condition warrior (s/s/sh, dire + rabid), his attack speed and playing style ( applying condition among to foes) is more interesting ( you may say OP or face roll whatsoever XD, I don’t refuse). All in all, compared to warrior’s sword, I found that guardian’s sword is boring.

Do you guys still remember the Guardian Skills Trailer? Wow, it’s so cool! After I got the game and played it, I realized that the brightened point is not the skills themselves, but the animation, as the skills aren’t practical.

As a guardian we supposed to be have the greatest block technique, skill 5 should block all damage at least 4 sec and can move with guardian, in this period he/she is invulnerable to control effects.

Thats what A guardian who wearing a shield can do at least.

For a person who plan to obtain precursor and craft legendary weapon, losing world bosses loots in this period make the whole progress lag behind.

Science we were moved from Living World into Lagging World after patch, I can’t do any zerg activities. I just recorded 2 FPS in Temple of Lyssa. I can’t do anything at there, lost loots and got kill.

How many loots we lose a day? How long shall we suffer? Should we get compensation?

FPS 7 in wvw and world events.

i7 3.1, L3 8MB, 16GB RAM, NIVIDIA GeForce GT 650M

I don’t want to hide in dungeons everyday, they’re boring.

FlamingFoxx.1305:

Considering the lack of other complaints I would think that the problem is limited to a small number of people.

Pls. count the numbers of “views” and “replies” of Mac Beta Client Tech Support. I don’t know how to define “small number of people”.

May be I can say only small number of people don’t consider it is a problem.

It is not the matter of how to solve it. It is the matter of how the company consider this problem.

FlamingFoxx.1305:

Just curious, do you shut down your computer every night? Or does it stay running constantly?

I shut it down every night.

Everyday / every time I login, I have to delete the “Local.dat” in the folder of Library/Application Support/…/Application Data/, in order to make sure the BLTP is in function.

When it will be fixed?

Is it FAIR for a mac user who also had paid for this game as other PC players?

After installing 009524 version yesterday, I fixed the problem of buying gem. I also found that the problem of missing part of characters on TP is fixed and the quality of graphic is enhanced.

But when I login today, all the improvement is missing, characters are incomplete as past . However, I’m glad that buying gem still works.

Specs: IMac 21.5, OS X 10.9.1, 3.1 Intel Core i7, 16GB memory, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 512MB, LCD 1920 *1080

Healix.5819:

It’s a problem with the Mac client.

As a temporary solution, I heard that this can fix it:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/mac/TgUpdate-1-11-everytime-i-open-the-launcher/3394514

Following the steps mentioned by the thread (including delete Local.dat file), the problem is fixed. Thank you for the link!

I can’t load buying gem interface since Wintersday event. I’ve reported the problem in game, but it still not solved.

Anyone have the same problem?

even though I can login, but connection is seriously bad and seems terrible lag.

ronpierce.2760:

Wait, why does it say the guy was infracted for this post (OP)? Is there something wrong about asking if people would play a race if it was in the game? o.O

I feel sorry that I posted this thread under the topic of “game suggestion” first and my acc became “infracted”.

May be others would think that the pic attached is used as adv rather than a reference only.

Anyone is willing to reroll a dwarf character if it comes true?

I think shout heal would be more powerful.

skill 1 Fire a powerful shot. burning nearby foes
skill 2 flash light: 180 damage, blind enemies
skill 3 auto shots: 5 shots per sec in any direction, duration 3 sec
skill 4 make a pose: foes in front of you stop movement 3 sec
skill 5 telecamera: teleport and Create a symbol that heals you and damage your foes, range 900

Crise.9401:

I want upgrades and options in terms of cultural armor but not in the form you describe… this game already has way to few flavor options when it comes to races I don’t want that to be made irrelevant.

If the outlook of Cultural armor sets can be upgraded later, it’s very interesting : )

Abyss is not suitable for Norn female T3. Celestial is your choice.

I gave up on playing warrior recently , i only use it when i need a daily very quickly. I mosly play thief right now.

Let’s take a look at this sentence, and then we know everything you said were motivated by interests for your main character now.

If one goes for full Apothecary’ stats, he/she attaches a great deal of value to toughness. So it is gear of roamers and samll team fight.

I have 3 warriors in dungeon yesterday, and 3 of us equipped hammer main hand. It’s a team of CC and smite.

If there is something to let guilds to work together at the same time, it’s a different story no matter in wvw and living world events or other kind of world scenarios.

Anet has to find out this magic.

Is Tequatl a test of raid dungeon or activities in order to collect data of raid groups and bosses?

IMHO, sustainability of guardian who equipped with GS or hammer is as high as with 2 single hand weapons, may be higher. And only one trait can decrease all two hand weapons’ cool down time.

I love shield, but it is a total waste in pve and wvw, due to long cool down time (even trait for it) and places require mobility.

I think shield is an essential weapon of Guardian, so he/she should be the only class who have 3 slot skills of shield.
The third skill once activate, block all attacks and reflect 70% damage to surrounding foes in 6 sec.
And the fifth skill should be changed to shield charge which can make the foes on the path daze in 1.5 sec.
Yes, it is fantasy.

norn male: swing
norn female: thrust
I hate norn male’s animation too, he looks like an old man swinging his stick in slow motion.

Viking Jorun.5413:

Here’s Ferrum’s Unicorn Build.

• It’s a condition build. Give it some love and learn it’s ways, and you’ll be invincible.
• It’s very OP considering the survivability and the massive condition stacks.
• 20% uptime of stability, regen, aegis, protection, retaliation and vigor.
• 100% uptime of fury, swiftness and 6-14 stacks of might.

You’re welcome!

Unicorn relevant:

Good luck killing anyone with that build. You are practically a Buffer tank with silly damage and apart from sword #2 you have no mobility

So, practically if someone decides to run away there is nothing you can do. Especially against profs with good condition removal.

This build has:
No applied pressure or burst
No Stuns outside shield cd
Very limited mobility.

You should have at least 2 of the above.

I think you afk long time…… LOL
Go to login and get new patch. You can see something different.

Your meaning of “not OP” or balance is, all warriors should be defeated by you?
Thief (you) lose = warrior is OP
thief (you) win = BALANCE
