Guild Wars 2

When you have played close to 120 hours in the space of 21 days.

It’s taken me from November 11th until now to get 200 hours on Skyrim, a game i thought i played a lot. So to have 120 hours in 21 days… no life.

That’s not even the sad part, the sad thing is i plan to keep on playing like i have been…

Gauradan.8361:

For the thousandth time, server capacity indicates the number of accounts bound to that server, not the number of people online. It’s early morning in Europe and still there are 5 full servers; that’s because they’ve reached the maximum number of accounts which can be bound to them, not because there are a lot of people playing at this hour. There’s no queuing system like in WoW. It’s not like if you’re on a server that is high and then it becomes full that you’ll have to sit in a queue; other people simply won’t be able to transfer to it anymore.

I’ve been playing every morning from 6am this week, (Europe) i can tell you that during the week days only 1-2 servers were normally full, Far-Shiverpeaks and Desolation, Desolation normally goes from full to high around 8-pm BST.

Are you sure they are account bound? because the populations of servers changing from high to full and back to high in the space of an hour kind of leads me to believe it is based on people online. Yes it is early in Europe, 8am in the UK, 9am central Europe, Sunday, seems like the perfect time to be online playing some GW2 don’t you think?

It is very obvious many people read the title and post without even reading the OP.

My GPU is also overheating with Guild Wars 2, even though it’s fine with games such as Warband, Skyrim etc. Despite this i know this is my fault as my pc has terrible airflow and poor quality fans which i plan to fix in the next month or so.

A quick look at world selection will easily reveal that no, everybody didn’t quit.

Perhaps you are on a low populated server or maybe they are in the higher level zones.

Love it currently, played 114 hours so far. Will admit i am a tad worried about reaching 80 and not having much to do, but i do plan on running alts so it shall be a long, long time before i need to worry about that.

If they want to send me money in return for me reporting them then so be it.

That was great.

I take it you didn’t see this thread at the top then?

Thanks for the info, i’ve lost count on the amount of bots i’ve reported on Blacktide. I even changed servers today due to the bots i kept encountering, so far it has been easy to see who the bots are as they pretty much all teleport to every mob in the area. It is refreshing to hear that you guys are removing them as we speak.

Just under 5 Gold level 46 Charr Warrior.

I find it very hard to make any money, any tips on getting gold? I currently make my gold by selling all the materials i gather on the TP, some i just sell to vendors as i can make more money that way.

Noticed the option today when I received more gold selling mail.

I would love to be a Centaur…

We need to remember despite ArenaNet’s lack of response they want these bots gone more than anyone, just keep reporting the bots and i’m sure we will start seeing results soon.

Keep the faith…

This may seem strange to some, but every day i log on and play i always find my self thinking of how great the sound effects in this game are.

Most people comment on graphics etc… but for me one of the most important things in any game even above graphics are the sounds. I’m not just talking about music and voice acting, but footsteps, rain, water, wind… i often find my self jumping on the side of mountains just to hear that rock falling sound, not sure why but a good sounding world really pulls me in.

All i can say is well done ArenaNet, not only have you created a truly beautiful richly detailed world, but you also got the sound effects spot on in my opinion.

Just over a week ago i had never actually heard of the term botting. Now on BlackTide i see them quite often, i even recorded a video of a bunch of bots teleporting to every mob in the area over and over. Although i reported them in game rather than upload the videos.

Still have the videos though if ArenaNet ever decides to use them in helping identify which accounts are botting.

The sad thing is, you can Google GW2 botting and easily find a forum where all the botters discuss openly about their botting,.. How they are not banned yet is beyond me.

The best way to solve this is to give us English speakers a English Server, the Spanish,French and Germans have one. I do not mind other people talking in their language, but it does make me wish i could find an EU server where everyone speaks the same language as i do.

I play on BlackTide and the majority seem to speak English, but at times the chat is filled with Polish and Russian, nothing against it i just do not understand what they are saying, which is why i’d like to find a EU server where i know everybody on there will be able to understand each other.

On the BlackTide server, you can see two bots currently teleporting around to every mob in the river near Western Divinity Dam.

I reported both and recorded a short video just in case evidence is ever needed. Although i saw these bots there a couple days ago as well so hold little faith in anything being done any time soon.

Is the sound bug you hear the same as the one in this video?

Okay, been able to play fine today, played about 2 hours around 3pm and an hour around 9pm. Just decided to have another go and guess what’s back? yep this error code. It is now 22:10 here and i cannot play more than 30 seconds without constant D/C.

Strange how it worked earlier today and i didn’t have this problem at all for the first week of owning the game. Something is clearly wrong.

What is the unofficial-official European RP server?

Main, Level 38 Charr Warrior.

Alt, Level 5 Human Engineer.

Adding my name to the list, had the game just under 2 weeks, been able to play for hours on end no trouble at all, suddenly the last couple of days i get random disconnects from the game, yet my net is fine as i’m able to use the internet etc.

I’m from the U.K, I’ve tried disabling both firewall and AVG even though both have GW2 on the allowed list. Still i keep getting D/C.

I’m able to play no more than 30 seconds before being D/C right now, very frustrating.

I saw this for the first time the other day on BLACKTIDE server, he was in a river, and would instantly teleport to every mob around, not seeing it before led me to believe it was serious lag on his part. Guess it was just a bot.

I’ve got 2 gold…

I saw this yesterday for the first time, a person was in one of the shallow rivers, just teleporting to different mobs, i assumed it was very bad lag…

This exact same sound happened to me yesterday during wvw when tons of players clashed and there were all kinds of different sounds going off at once, suddenly every sound just stopped and all i could hear was what you hear in your video, the only way to stop it was for me to restart my game.

World populations certainly do change, last night around 4am only two European servers were full, 6pm that day 4 were full.

I found that when it says full, it is not permnantly full, just wait until that server’s time zone is around 2-3am and you should be able to get on and make it your home for playing during normal times.

I tried to join a friend on his server but it was full so i joined blacktide and he joined me, later that night his original server was back to high population and we could transfer, only we decided to stay on blacktide as the majority there speak English.

Right now BLACKTIDE server is overrun with gold sellers, i’m currently in the Norn main city and my chat box has 5 different names constantly spamming fast gold crap. Not to mention my mail is flooded daily. I report every single one yet every day there are more and more.

Are these hacked accounts? because if so then the amount of people getting hacked is alarming.

Yep, pretty much every time i log in i have selling gold spam mail.

Before yesterday i skimmed past these topics, but yesterday and today has seen my mail box flooded with gold spam.

I played yesterday and the chat on BLACKTIDE server was spammed by 2 players constantly posting crap about selling gold, i reported them and blocked them.

It don’t seem to stop mail spam though. I play for 30 minutes and look at my mail box.

99% have been helpful for me on Blacktide server, if i’m in a fight whether i can handle that fight with ease or not, people passing by always come over to help. I’ve also been revived every single time i’ve gone down when somebody has been close, only once has somebody walked past me as i lay defeated and rather than revive me, he /laughed and walked off. Still, i found it amusing.

Not just Norn, any race should be able to throw those little things.

Hopefully they add it soon.

+1 to adding duels.
