Guild Wars 2

Hey Kirex and merry christmas!
It seems you would fit well in our guild, since you’re looking for a casual guild in the EU. We are occasionally on VOIP and we have players located pretty much everywhere in Europe, a lot of scandinavians actually. We do however have a strong emphasis on being european, and therefore we very rarely speak anything but english in guild-chat.
We’re located on Aurora Glade and the server is a perfect match for us. If you’d like to know more, check our recruitment-thread here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/guilds/guilds/The-New-Reality-English-speaking-Mature-Aurora-Glade/first#post1082339
And leave an application or PM me IG!
Hope to hear from you.

Hey Tiluska!
We would love to have you with us. We’re aiming for a medium-sized guild, with a very friendly environment and i think we’ve accomplished that so far
You can read our recruitment-thread here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/guilds/guilds/The-New-Reality-English-speaking-Mature-Aurora-Glade/first#post1082339, and leave an application or PM me IG if you’re interested!

NB: We’re on Aurora Glade a european server!

Merry Christmas!

Feel free to PM Me IG on “Zaphiel Faires” or “Lysis Kawahara” and ask as many questions as you might have!

Join us for the wintersday fun!

We’re actually still looking for new recruits, so dont hesitate to leave an application. There have been no activity here because i was told i am not allowed to bump, however it seems that a lot of threads are getting bumped occasionally!

Someone else might have posted this, but i actually found a fix for the bug!
It used to happen to me in basically every larger fight, and i had to shut down GW2 to fix the problem.
However, this is how i fixed the bug:

1. In the Gw2 options menu i turned down the “Sound Quality” to “Fastest”
2. I turned up the “Mixing Buffer Size” to “Most Stable”

This has fixed the problem for me, and im no longer experiencing the problem. I hope this can help some of you out there, as well as help Anet in isolating the problem!

It’s impossible for me to participate in WvW atm.
This happens at EVERY large battle, and then i’ll have to turn off my speakers until i can leave the game.
I hope you’re able to find a fix soon, because this is seriously annoying!

Home World: Aurora Glade
Guild Name: The New Reality [NR]
Guild Website: http://qualityoverquantity.shivtr.com/
In-Game Contact: Zaphiel Faires – Lysis Kawahara
Focus: PvX (sPvP Tournaments as well as Dungeons and WvW)
Quick Notes:
We’re a small guild who have recently moved to Aurora Glade. The guild was created a month before launch, and we are still actively recruiting. We’re a guild that takes a long time to grow because we only invite people that we feel are actually fitting in. No spamming in the chat or mindless recruiting for numbers. Below there is a link for our recruitment-thread where i explain our policies more in depth.

I created a topic as well regarding this issue, and did a lot of testing to see if i could figure out why it was happening.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Arcane-Power-not-functioning-properly-with-AOE-damage/first#post205555

I’ve described the problem in the post, but long story short: It’s an issue regarding AoE spells, since the arcane power charges trigger at “invisible” enemies.
I tested it with single target spells, and it used all 5 charges.

This passive trait has a cooldown which means that you’ll just have to activate it once before you use your combo. This can be done easily due to weaponswitching.
Pretty much the same thing against Guardians, it not the wisest decision to charge a guardian as your first move, because the aegis will block it.

Requirements (summed-up):

• 18+
• English speaking
• Timezone: Preferably European
• Skilled players with gaming experience (Both PvP and PvE)
• Friendly, relaxed and mature personality
• No “elitists” – We want a healthy guild-environment
• Willing and able to be on voice-chat occasionally. (We will most likely be using C3, although that is not set in stone)
• Most importantly: Quality over quantity

That’s basically it! If you’re done reading and still interested, please fill out the application at our website or send me a PM if you have any questions. I will check the website and my inbox daily, so I won’t keep you waiting for long.
This thread might seem very serious but in reality we’re a very laid back and relaxed guild, and im not some police-officer keeping track of playing time or anything in that regard! So dont hesitate to contact me or leave an application!

TL;DR – There is none. If you didn’t bother reading the wall of text, this guild is definitely not for you.

Regarding application:

Please note that we do not have any preferences with respect to your personal life, whether you’re a plumber or an engineer does not matter at all. But we need some information to decide if you’re right for the guild, or the search has to continue. When writing your application, please write more than two lines of text and do so with decent grammar. This will both increase your chances as well as help us finding new recruits. We are an english speaking guild and therefore i have to make sure that everybody is easily understandable in writing – communication is important!

Just apply at the website or send me a PM on “Zaphiel Faires” IG, alternatively leave a message IG as your application, then i can easily get back to you and invite you to the guild. Hope to see a lot of new faces for some good times!

NB: We have recently moved to Aurora Glade and therefore lost our upgrades and influence. So if you’re looking for a guild with a lot of us upgrades, it is not us (for now).

Who are we?

The New Reality is a european guild that has been here since headstart. We were formerly called “Quality Over Quantity” but changed our name to something more memorable. We’re a small/medium sized community and intend to stay that way, even though we would like to furtherly expand. Our policies are very casual and we have no requirements as to how much you have to play throughout the week, as long as you’re regularly online and active. We strive to keep a healthy and mature community within our guild, where everybody has a saying and an impact.
We’re an english speaking guild centered in europe, most of our members are either English or Scandinavian but we have a few from Czech and every nationality is of course welcome!
Even though we are a casual guild we are not in Tyria just to goof around ALL the time, therefore we try to maintain a decent skill-level within the guild. This means that we’re looking for experienced and serious players, that like to have som fun with like-minded players!
Maintaining a decent skill-level within the guild naturally requires good communation, and that is why its important that you are close to fluent in english both verbally and in writing.
Voice-Chat is available but not a requirement, as everyone enjoys to just listen to music while playing sometimes – And that is fine! However, if we arrange any events to WvW/sPvP Tournaments/Dungeons it will definitely be preferred!
This is why its important that you write your application with somewhat decent grammar as well.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for players with close to fluent English both verbally and in writing, the latter being the far most important. We do not require people to have a perfect english accent since i myself am from Denmark, and therefore have an accent as well. But it’s important that you have an understanding of basic grammar in english.
You have to have decent experience with gaming in general, not necessarily GW2 though. Basically any online PC-Game will do!
The most important trait we’re looking for is for you to have good common sense and “logic”. And i cant stress enough how important this is! This is to ensure that we establish a community with like-minded players. A relaxed and friendly attitude as well as a mature and intelligent approach to any task that might present itself!
This being said: We are NOT looking for elitists, because that is not a mature and relaxed attitude.

Continued in the next post!

Hey. I’ve just been doing some theory-crafting, and i came up with something that seemed very nice. On paper everything should be working perfectly, and enable me to deal huge amounts of AOE damage using Arcane Power.
However, i did numerous tests on the golems in the mist, and im positive that arcane power bugs when dealing AOE damage.
If i used “Churning Earth” while having Arcane Power activated and hit all three of the golems (in the mists), only one of them was certain to be hit with critical damage. Which one of the golems that got hit with critical damage was random.
Doing the exact same thing with only one golem in range, it got hit by critical damage as it should.
Whenever i use Churning Earth, Arcane Power dissapears as if i had used all 5 “charges”. And exactly therefore only 1 target is getting hit by critical damage instead of all of them.

This CANT be intentional.

I did some more testing and found out that it doesnt even matter if you hit any targets atm. Using Arcane Power and firing “Ice Shards” (Scepter Skill 1) into thin air, arcane power dispatches after 2 attacks, because Ice Shards in theory are shooting out three shards at every use, even though it’s not actually hitting anything or even shooting the shards.
And here we have our problem.
Somehow Arcane Power registers AoE spells as having multiple attacks (which can be discussed if they actually have. Imo they do not). This would be okay, if it at least hit up to 5 (5 charges on Arcane Power) targets with critical damage. The problem is that it somehow “hits” a lot of non-existing targets (using up all the attack charges.) and therefore not hitting the actual targets for critical damage.

I hope you’re able to understand what im trying to say, because something should definitely be changed regarding Arcane Power, it cannot function this way its too illogical.
This is not really a discussion thread but more of a bug report, i used the forums instead of the bug report becuase it seems to get better response.
Feel free to ask any questions if you have suspicion that some other factors can be the cause.

@Joe
I actually noticed that as well. However, there is no way to do the mission again, and therefore im still looking for a way to watch the cinematic

Unfortunately i dont think there is, i have tried searching the internet but no results

Has the cinematic worked for anyone, or is it a universal bug?
Would be great to know, because then there would be no hope for it to be uploaded on youtube.

It worked fine for me, just following the steps as you would normally do.
Only the cinematic was bugged. :/

Hey!
Just minutes ago i completed the personal story step called “The Battle of Fort Trinity” which is lvl 70.
At some point near the end a cinematic showed, but unfortunately the gamed bugged and it had no sound or subtitles. This is such a shame because i really love those cinematics, and i feel they are pretty essential for the story, so i would hate to miss out on something.

1. The cinematic is bugged and played without sound and subtitles.
2. Is there anywhere i can see the cinematic again, and hopefully with sound this time. I checked youtube but didnt find anything. I would hate to proceed my story without having heard/seen the cinematic.

NB: I chose the Durmand Priory as my order.

This is extremely annoying and it has happened a lot to me lately.
First i was not sure what it was, but i quickly figured out that it stopped whenever the pet was standing still.
I’m not a ranger so this has only happened with other peoples pets.
The problem being that i can’t even remove the pet, so i have to play through the dynamic event with incredibly loud footsteps.
It’s not a high priority issue, but just letting you know that there is definitely a bug!

Edit:
Im pretty positive that it has only happened with the brown bear to me.

I have a follow-up question:
Does anyone else have trouble with activating the shield?
I have been able to use it for healing in sPvP, but i have never been able to activate/detonate the shield in PvE.
Anyone else having issues with detonating it, or am i just missing something?

Hey! I’ve been wondering this for a while, as i can’t seem to find a solution.
Whenever i create some kind of field for instance “Symbol of Wrath” – The golden outline does not appear like fire/flames, but as pieces from a puzzle and small hearts.
Imo this seems a bit odd, and does not really fit with the other textures, so i began to wonder if it was because of missing textures.

Screenshots:

If this is indeed a bug, is there any possible solutions?

Thanks in advance!
