Guild Wars 2

Like mahariel said before, watch a youtube video before and dont join groups that are locking for “fast run, experienced, zerk only”, if you dont fulfill those requirements.
There are a many groups in the lfg tool that dont have any requirements, so just join these groups or start your own lfg “all classes welcome, relaxed run, first time” or sth like this.

Scarlet will die in the first patch. Released Content will be temporary. New Content will not be zerging around a circle. New Dungeons and Elite-Areas are released. They contain hard fights and skips that require tactic and teamplay. They contain bosses that nobody manages to kill within the first few weeks, until tactics are elaborated. Their rewards are adapted to their length and difficulty.

Why dont take the GW1 progression as an example? We had the HOM to fil, had titles that were “worth” something (God amongst mortals) and lots of different, mostly good locking skins.

There is no vertical progression (level and stat increase) needed in GW2, because one day it will be too hard for newcomers or returners to gear up to the newest level. Also for people who play different classes it is just boring and unnecessary grind to gear up so that they finally can do what they actually like about GW2.
Furthermore, most people won`t buy a 2nd gear with different stats for their char, because its just too expensive, and no experimenting on different builds is possible.

So how to keep players without vertical progression?
Give us the possibility to display some valuable weapons or armorsets in the hall of the monuments or in the home instance. Give us the opportunity to achieve titles that are worth sth. The only valuable title at the moment is the dungeon master.
Give us more legendary weapons (or even armors). One legendary for each type of weapon isn`t enough especially when there are some joke-weapons like disco-mace, that many players don’t like.
Make the way to get a legendary weapon as long as it is now, but less grindy. At the moment its all about farming gold. Create some legendaries that can be achieved by open world farming (for example for a certain component you need to complete a certain number of events in each area) and create some legendaries that can be achieved by passionate dungeon players in (new) elite dungeons (like tormented weapons or obsidian armor in GW1)
Also give us the possibility to change the sigils in legendaries (or even in ascended), which means you can insert all possible sigils in the weapon and then choose one sigil, that you want to be active at the moment)

So as a conclusion: Highest stats should be easy to get, valuable skins should require time or skill or both. And the most important thing: define those exclusive skins as end-game-content. If you create a new dungeon/elite-area where we can get those skins, dont just write it somewhere into the patch notes that most players don’t read, but make it clear to all players that these exclusive skins are the aim for the next three months (what doesnt mean that after three months the dungeon should be patched out, but only that in three months for example a new dungeon is introduced)

OK, thank you.
So the eles job in fractals is basically the same then in normal dungeons?

Hi,

i already have a war and a guard for fractals, and now was thinking of equipping my ele with ar. I heared many people say that eles are very useful in fractals.
Can you please tell me what exactly makes an ele so useful in frac and can’t be done with a war or guard, except from fgs? What is expected here from a good ele?

I like fractals, imo it was the best living story update ever. Playing nightmare tower of clockwork chaos etc always makes me feel like a farmer, spamming autoatack and zerging around.
This is finally content where you cannot brainafk kill all mobs.
Pls more dungeons in future updates!

Edit: Perhaps this time i will even do all achievements – just by playing the game and without farming

ok, thanks for the answer.

When i have two one-hand-weapons equipped, which means two sigils, can i then combine for example a sigil of the night with a sigil of undead slaying, or a sigil of force with a sigil of the night?
Or can’t you stack +dmg sigils?

OK, thanks for the answers!

Hi there,

until now i always used a shield when fighting against lupicus, but i heared many people say that offhand-sword is better than shield. So what´s the reason for using a sword, when its block duration is shorter than of the shield?

i am not complaining^^ but thank you for the answer

Lol i just wanted to ask a question and jet it has become another anti bear-bow thread^^

Hi,

I have a question about those potions, that give you extra dmg against a certain kind of mobs.
When you use, for example, an inquest slaying potion in COE, do you then only deal extra dmg against inquest-members (golems) or do you have this bonus in the whole dungeon?

When you use the transmutation stone on the legendary and the white item, do you then have to choose the skin of the legendary or the skin of the white item? Or doesn’t it matter at all?
Also, is there any statement whether ANet sees this as an exploit?

1) Dungeons & Fractals
—> Fractals 50+, rewards (maybe fractal armor)
2) New legendaries (maybe some which need less grind and more skill)
3) Story —> fighting the other Dragons and not some crazy sylvari + Focus more on Story and not on grind

Hi

Some weeks ago i read in the Forum about the method how to deal a lot of damage with fiery rush. But later i saw that in some player’s opinion this is an exploit.

So could pls one of the devs give us a clear statement whether we are allowed to use this skill that way or whether this is an exploit and we can get banned for doing this?

If you assume a precursor-price of 600g, earning all this money will take you about 100 hours of cof farming (10 min run and 1g/run). Actually the only realistic way to get all the money.
So why don’t add sth to the game where you can get a precursor when you have got 500 (or 1000, whatever) tokens of every dungeon + a certain number of fractal relicts. Furthermore you have to do a certain number of events in every area (would also bring back the people back into the open world).
Getting all these items could (and also should) take far more than 100 hours, but it wouldn’t be boring and it would better suit to what a legendary weapon should be: Something you get after a long and epic journey that brings you through whole tyria (and not only to cof).

It also would be nice to make fow and underworld and perhaps also the domains of the other gods which we didnt see in guild wars 1 as own regions, made of various open world zones, like the orr areas, with big event chanis. Also this regions should include some cool dungeons.
And why not add some elite armor (only cool skin, no better stats)? For example, there is a balthasar armor that you can only get if you have a certain number of tokens of every fow-dungeon and also have finished a certain number of events in fow.

This is a very good idea. I wouldn’t care if it’s a home instance or if they just use the hall of monuments, but some area where you can display your achievements (dungeon + cultural armor & weapons, title, legendaries etc…) would be nice. This also would motivate people to play more dungeons and not only cof p1.
Also they could add a title for every 5 (or 10 or whatever) things you display in this hall of monuments, sth like the god walking amongs mortals title in gw1.
Also i cannot imagine that this would be a big programming effort.

Hey guys, thanks everyone who helped me, now i got the solution of my problem. I’ve updated BIOS and now everything works fine. Perhaps this will help someone at later time who has the same problem like me.

I checked CPU temperature with HWiNFO32 and it says temperature is always between 40 and 60 degree. GPU-temperature i didnt check, but i have an intel onboard graphic chip and also an Nvidia GeForce GT 325M. I ran the game with both graphiccards, and both times i had a bluescreen. So i guess the graphiccard isn´t the problem, is it?

prime95 runs since an hour now without errormessages, so i guess CPU will be fine.

I really despair, cause nothing i have tried has solved my problem^^

Edit: I just see i got a message of prime95:

worker3:
fatal error: rounding was 0.4677734375, expected less than 0.4
hardware failure detected, consult stress.txt file.
torture test completed 10 tests in 48 minutes – 1 errors, 0 warnings
worker stopped

worker 4:
fatal error: rounding was 0.4765625, expected less than 0.4
hardware failure detected, consult stress.txt file.
torture test completed 14 tests in 1 hour, 0 minutes – 1 errors, 0 warnings
worker stopped

What do this messages tell me?

Thank you for your replies!

i ran prime95, but not on small fft, i will try this. And i have a question to prime 95: How do i get results of the tests and how do i evaluate them?

I will reinstall GW2 this weekend, would be nice if the problems will be solved that easy

And concerning overclocking: I haven´t changed anything in hardware or bios since i bouht my laptop, and it was a new one.
How do i see if all voltage values are correct?

Also, could there be sth wrong with my internet because i once had also a bluescreen when i just was at the login screen, so i was connected to the server but the game was not started yet?

Hello!

When i play GW2, i often get bluescreens, code 0×124. I have already checkt ram, graphiccard, harddisc, cpu with several freeware programs and also updated drivers.

The weird thing is, i also get a bluescreen if i dont start the game but just stay in the login-screen and wait some minutes.

Anyone has a solution? This would help me a lot
