IF this were to ever happen, I would hope it would be a LOOOONG way down the road. They need to focus all their attention on the game itself right now, and not worry about porting it to consoles.

I don’t know why you would say that?

I don’t play anymore. But what I have read on forums and Internet they have managed to give all of you who still play free content, that’s free of charge. I cant see how people are complaining. It maybe something wrong with the community?

The game needs to continue to grow and evolve. Especially with permanent content. If they were to do a console port, then I would hope they would hire a totally seperate team to work on porting it over. That way the main dev team can still focus on new content.

Stabbing an unsuspecting Asura.

This was my favorite female armor from Guild Wars. I’d LOVE to see it return.

I misunderstood the OP. I figured this was a complaint about wanting his money back on gem purchases because he was unhappy with the game.

It’s part of what they’re working on “behind the scenes”.

Yep, the Dervish is coming back. And with it they will open up Elona. #lies

What happened to your toes? Frostbite?

Just RMA it anyway. It’s free. For someone to waste a free opportunity like that is just stupid, no questions asked.

And don’t jump to conclusions, this sort of thing happens with Nvidia too.

Do these cards have lifetime warranties? Because it’s not new. I bought it in September 2012. Had some of these issues with GW2 then, but I stopped playing for over a year, and since the problem never occurred in other games, I didn’t worry about it. Until now…that I returned to GW2.

Depends on the brand you got. Find out what maker (Sapphire, DIAMOND, XFX, etc.) Then check the manufacturers web site. I think XFX has a decent warranty, some are like 3yrs.

Looking at this more and seeing other threads about it kind of makes me agree that it isn’t the card itself. This isn’t quite the same issue of old, this is different. It’s probably a driver bug with GW2 and those cards. Like you said every other game is fine.

I have had issues on my GTX 670 where some parts of some maps would literally go crazy if I stood in a certain area. The ground/objects would disappear/skew and such, but would go back to normal if I walked a few meters back from that area. It has since resolved itself after a few NVidia driver updates.

It’s XFX. I’m not going to RMA it. I’d rather just deal with the issues. Mainly because I don’t have a back up video card anymore, so I’d be without gaming for 3-4 weeks or however long it takes. (I’d get the shakes) If this were happening on other games, then I would definitely RMA it, but I have a strong feeling it will just happen again and I will have done all that for nothing. I play a lot of games too. I don’t even get graphical issues with buggy Skyrim with 50 mods running.

No and no. They wouldn’t give you a refund for gems just because you stopped playing.

mtpelion.4562:

I am only OK with mounts as follows:

1. No increase in speed.
2. No combat usage.
3. No increase in speed.
4. Must have craftable options.
5. No increase in speed.
6. Must be in achievement panel once acquired.
7. NO INCREASE IN SPEED!

I’d say 25% movement speed. Most classes have that option anyway. The majority of people would still be outrunning mounts with swiftness.

If I were picking new races, I would say Kodan, Tengu, and one of my favorite suggestions..Djinn!

I don’t know what they’ve done (lore-wise) with the Djinn, but I think it’d be a cool race to have in the game. Very different than anything you’ll see in other MMOs. A Ruby Djinn elementalist would be awesome.

It’s a bad card, RMA it.

Seems that there are QA issues going on at some suppliers. I am seeing more and more reports of this issue for the R9 series card, across the board.

every since report ended in an RMA…that ultimately fixed the issue.

So, its a bad card, get it replaced.

If RMAing it is the solution then I’m probably going to just smash the card into tiny bits. The original 7870 I ordered came in DOA, so I already had to wait another 3-4 weeks to get it’s replacement. I had been thinking about crossfiring with another 7870, but since these issues continue, I don’t know if I want to invest the money in AMD products anymore.

Aza.2105:

I have the issue and it has nothing to do with the card being overclocked or hot. My card is almost new and not oc. The card doesn’t go above 60c in gw2. This problem doesn’t happen in any other game. I’ve ran 3dmark like crazy and haven’t seen a single artifact.

Same for me. My card isn’t OC’d. GW2 is the only game I have these issues.

Sucks to be ignorant new guy who can’t read the oh so obvious LFG tool descriptions.

It says in the tool descriptions… “If you do not know what you’re doing, you will be left behind to die.”? I’ve never read it nor am I the “New Guy” I’m referring to. But I did hop into AC after a long break from the game and wondered why people were hiding behind the pillar at the stairs near the Spider Queen. I was ready to go in there and actually fight.

thefantasticg.3984:

Nat.4029:

Don’t forget to add this to dungeons. “Ok, we’re gonna run past this. New guy in the group? Oh just leave him. Ok stand right behind this pillar so everything, including the boss is tunneled into this tiny spot. New guy still dying back there? Oh well…”

Sounds like new guy shouldn’t have joined that group.

New Guy doesn’t know what he’s getting into when using the LFG tool.

Draknar.5748:

Question: How would you even know if the armor set up you have would be what you want on your new class? What about weapons? Not all classes can use the same weapons, so you could potentially lose use of those weapons.

Those are the types of consequences you have to deal with if you would want to change your class. It would be in the disclosure agreement.

Sylv.6514:

Totally disgusting. I can understand wanting to create scantily clad females as a form of artistic expression, but making such ridiculous armor in GW2 is going too far. Women aren’t sex objects, they are people with internal organs that need to be protected. Designing your armor in such a way is shameful, I am so disappointed in you Anet.

Men are sex objects either!!! This armor shows man boob.

MidnightSun.7964:

I doubt they’ll ever offer one. You’ve stated that you don’t want to hear it but you need to just roll a new toon. That’s why they gave you 5 character slots. Besides, if you find a class that you really enjoy then it shouldn’t be a problem leveling it up to 80. If you are in a real hurry they just craft to 80.

The reason I change so much in MMOs is because I’m an indecisive kitten who likes to waste money. My paladin in WoW started out a Blood Elf, then changed to Space Goat, then back to Blood Elf male, then changed to Cow, then as of right now it’s changed to a BE female. That’s how you properly waste money. Rolling a new character is the easy answer, but I like to be able to change appearances without having to just dump that character that I’ve spent hundreds of hours of gametime with. It’s never a matter of “I’m unhappy with my character.” It’s more a matter of “I want a change of scenery.”

Nat.4029:

I’d rather have a Race Change than a Class Change, but both would be nice. They talk about all the complications with the personal story if you were to change races, but screw the personal story. If you change your race, just reset the personal story, and if we want to do it again we can. (at no XP or Item gain) If we don’t want to bother with it, then we don’t have to. The personal story is pretty insignificant in the long run anyway. I’ve wasted too much money over the years on these types of services. I name/alliance/race changed way too many times in WoW.

NO .. no no no …

You don’t need it (according to me), so NO, you can’t have it …
I can’t afford it and am dripping with envy of those that can, so NO, you can’t have it …
I know it has absolutely nothing to do with me and is 100% none of my business, but still, NO …
I don’t like the idea, and what I like and don’t like should be enough, so, NO, you can’t have it …
Personally I would never change my own class, so because of that, you should not have the option to, so NO …
Although it is 100% none of my business why you want to change race/class, I will ask you why you went 80 levels before figuring out the race/class was not for you just so I can say, NO you should not have that option …
Even though I don’t want to change my own class, so this thread should be of no importance to me whatsoever, I will pop into your thread anyway, just to say, NO …
Also, there are other threads about this, so that should be enough for me to say NO …

And last but not least, although saying, “don’t be lazy, just roll another toon and level that on the race/class you would like”, is presumptuous of me and rude, I’ll say it anyway, and yet again say: NO

;-)

So that’s a NO from you then?

I don’t really like Twilight’s footfalls. Looks like you’re leaving elephant plops everywhere you go.

I’d say the whole Season 1 LS is an expansion worth of content.

I’d agree, if expansions went like this:
Company releases expansion for game, and you get it installed. But you have only xx amount of time to do it all. But you don’t due to, I don’t know, having a real life let’s say. Then the timer hits zero for the expansion and all the content is removed and your client no longer recognizes it.
You continue to play the vanilla version while your friends are running beside you with rewards and experiences and stories/lore from content you never had a chance to, and never will have a chance to, play.

Exactly, and just for the hell of it I’ll go ahead and say it again. If the LS introduced an “expansion worth of content” then I feel badly for the future of this game.

ronpierce.2760:

That’s photoshopped.

You serious, Clark?

My prediction.

Elona
Cantha
The rest of Tyria
6 new classes
4 new races
150 new skills for each class
Over 10,000 new weapon sets
Over 5000 new armor sets
Every class can now use every weapon
72 new Legendary Items Including Legendary Armor Sets
48 new dungeons with 10 paths each
Hardmode
Mounts
GvG
Guild Halls
Heroes Ascent Reborn
Underworld Returns
Fissure of Woe Returns
The Gods Return
Gods vs. Dragons vs. Mothra Living Story

That’s my very pessimistic list.

Ha! Talk about an uprising if that happened.

Naevius.3185:

World of Airships?

I’d be all over that.

But naval ships would be cool too. Sort of ‘Pirates of the Burning Sea’ in GW2.

Asura pirates FTW.

I think you’d see some variant of “Airship Battles” before we saw naval stuff added to the game.

GrandmaFunk.3052:

Nat.4029:

Hopefully they learned a bit from Southsun.

What they learned from Southsun was that making new maps was totally not worth it given the amount of work required and the extremely short window between content release and players getting bored of it and asking “so when’s the next one?”.

So you’re saying Anet has given up on releasing any more of the map? What I HOPED they learned from Southsun was how NOT to rush/create a map, and have begun to improve on their zone creating abilities. If they’ve given up on making new maps because of the failure of Southsun, then they’d might as well give up on this game altogether.

It would definitely be a possibility once they open up the rest of the Sea of Sorrows area. I guess I’m just biased to Black Flag. No naval combat in an MMO would be able to compete with it. It was done flawlessly.

It wouldn’t be very immersive within the current game. Think about Assassin’s Creed Black Flag. That game was designed for naval battle, with amazingly crafted oceans with huge swells and realistic storms. If naval battle was introduced to GW2, we would be riding along on a flat calm, and it would be pretty boring if you ask me. If they were to update the oceans in the game to actually have waves, and also add much more realistic weather to the game, then yeah it would be awesome. But that would be a HUGE overhaul.

Windu The Forbidden One.6045:

I really hope for some new pve zones.

I just hope we don’t get repeats of Southsun. I’d love full PvE zones with hearts, vistas, POIs, and jumping puzzles. Hopefully they learned a bit from Southsun.

I have no clue whatsoever. Anet has been tight-lipped about their “behind the scenes” actions. Hopefully it’s something amazing that they will be adding to the game that has nothing whatsoever to do with Living World.

Someone told you wrong. Repeating the same event over and over wouldn’t be anything to get banned over. Worst case scenario is that Anet will change the spawn times of the event so that people can’t farm it as frequently. Best thing for you to do is keep quiet about it and make your gold.

Why would you get banned for farming mats? What is it that you’re doing that would be considered an offense?

PSA Reminder In flat square mileage GW2 is Smaller than Vanilla WoW, Vanilla WoW is but a Grain of Sand in GW1.

Actually you are so wrong it is funny. The people that actualy care about this stuff
listed
vanilla WoW as 80 sq mi
guild wars 1 nightfall at 15k sq mi

Considering that guild wars 2 is bigger than all of guild wars 1. What you said is so ridiculous.

http://kotaku.com/5533787/its-not-the-size-of-the-game-world-but-how-you-use-it

actually, even with the Z , GW1 is still bigger then GW2.
you can only take half of EotN as Z, the rest is the same as proph.
so in a way GW2 is proph minus the fire isle, GW1 is still bigger.

Actually, according to colin. Guild wars 2 is bigger than all of guild wars 1. So I m going to take the word of colin over let’s say you.

Just out of curiously Silver, have you played through all of GW1?

Are these the after pics? Could you take one where you’re not holding the sword? It would give a better example. It looks good to me.

Iason Evan.3806:

Some really sound, non-inflammatory advice in here. I appreciate this thread. Breaks are huge! They are necessary. Hit up a different genre for a few months altogether. Come back and see what’s new. If you still aren’t in a good place with the genre, take a break again. Games should=recreation, not lifestyle.

I’m a big fan of this. I get tired of games usually after about 3-5 months and I have to move on to something different for a while. What sucks about doing this with GW2, is that you miss out on so many things because of the crazy amount of temporary content. For example, when Reaper of Souls comes out, I’ll be taking a break from GW2 (which is my own decision, nobody’s fault but mine), so I’ll miss a lot of stuff and won’t be able to play through it again. You can’t say that about other MMOs. Unless you’re talking about holiday events.

GW2 is way bigger than Prophecies was at release.

Interestingly people like to throw around tons of numbers
Those are called facts, it’s what people tend to use in arguments
but they don’t like to throw number of professions and number of races.
gw1 had more professions… not at release no, but gw2 is not at release, it’s been out for over a year
They also don’t like to talk about crafting.
Because it’s boring as kitten
GW1 added very few in terms of free content.
And that’s why the content added in gw1 vastly superior. Free =/= better
People just don’t understand that GW1 basically had a tiny Live Team while GW2 has a decently sized live team.
Indeed, gw2 has a lot more developers working on it. So why are we getting less?

Guild Wars 2 at release has indeed more content than Guild Wars 1 at release. But in the end, gw1 got tons more content and guild wars 2 is not at release anymore.

Guild wars 2 was bigger than guild wars 1 after all it’s updates.

You are comparing GW2 to GW Prophecies right? I would hope so.

Guild wars 2 to all of gw1.

LOL, you’re funny. I’ve been having a crappy day at work. I needed that.

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

I played GW1 for 4000 hours, and didn’t do everything there was to do. It has at least twice the amount of content that GW2 has at present. Tyria+EotN expansion areas, Elona, Cantha. As I said…

You’re a funny guy, Sully.

You are right, guild wars 2 at release guild wars 2 was only bigger than phophecies + 1 stand alone. so they got only 5 more years to get more “content” than gw 1.

That’s all we want. And I’d say GW2 at present(not at release) has more content than GW Prophecies + about half of Factions. But we can argue this all day…. I hope GW2’s content ends up more than doubling that of GW1 in the long run.

Actually, i was right. Colin before release said guild wars 2 at release was bigger than ALL of guild wars 1.

So there. Read above for the link and proof.

Nice try though.

I remember seeing that quote. It’s all in the marketing. Of course they would say something like that, while using wording like “about the size”. They want everyone to think it IS more massive. So GW fanboys (like myself) and newcomers alike will be drooling… “Just as big as ALL of Guild Wars??? faints”

I’ve played through both games and that’s complete BS. GW2 is a large game, and it’s a game that I like a lot. (although it could be improved tenfold) I can honestly say though, that right now, it does not have the amount that GW1 had. It just doesn’t. That’s all delusional marketing that worked on me and many others.

I see, so when it suits your purpose fact is fact, but when it goes against your belief it is marketing.

I want to say I am sorry for backing up my claims with facts. I keep forgetting that certain people once they made up their minds it cannot be changed and facts be kitten ed.

By any chance do you subscribe the Fox News?

ADDED: anyways, i m going to peace out here because we can both agree arguing on this forum is a bigger waste of time than doing absolutely nothing.

The problem is, there were no facts stated in your “proof”. It was just Colin saying “Oh yeah GW2 is MASSIVE. I mean…it’s about the same size…thereabouts….as GW1. We think…I mean don’t we? We think that right? Yeah, that’s what we’re going with. It’s MASSIVE!”

GW1’s titles were more fun to work towards too. It took me quite a while to get the Legendary Vanquisher title. GW2 needs more things like that to work toward in the end game.

Does anybody else think it’s possible that they have a huge content addition sitting around and waiting for the releases of TESO/Wildstart/EQN and they’ll drop it at the same time to keep people around?

I get the feeling that they’re building something and just not talking about it.

That’s exactly what wow does, and it works. Expansion release around other prominent titles is like using heat to cook. No heat, you can’t cook, period.

It’s all a matter of when. Mists of Pandaria hit not long after GW2 launched right? And it was announced a good bit before that. If they are wanting something to hit when these new MMOs do, then they need to start announcing. And as far as Wildstar goes…isn’t it published by NCSoft? They aren’t going to let GW2 take away any of it’s glory.

Yeah, so this is a really good point. I would say this: boxed expansions require substantial notification and lead time because you have to get the boxes to retailers. Gem Store expansions would not require much lead time. Free expansions would not require much lead time.

Can you imagine if, the week before Wildstar and ESO hit, ArenaNet says “Boom. Travel to Elona unlocked next week. Enjoy.”

That would be amazingly awesome, but I put the probability of that happening at about .0000002%. Or the drop rate of a precursor.

Ask Siri. She’ll find the closest bank.

GW2 is way bigger than Prophecies was at release.

Interestingly people like to throw around tons of numbers
Those are called facts, it’s what people tend to use in arguments
but they don’t like to throw number of professions and number of races.
gw1 had more professions… not at release no, but gw2 is not at release, it’s been out for over a year
They also don’t like to talk about crafting.
Because it’s boring as kitten
GW1 added very few in terms of free content.
And that’s why the content added in gw1 vastly superior. Free =/= better
People just don’t understand that GW1 basically had a tiny Live Team while GW2 has a decently sized live team.
Indeed, gw2 has a lot more developers working on it. So why are we getting less?

Guild Wars 2 at release has indeed more content than Guild Wars 1 at release. But in the end, gw1 got tons more content and guild wars 2 is not at release anymore.

Guild wars 2 was bigger than guild wars 1 after all it’s updates.

You are comparing GW2 to GW Prophecies right? I would hope so.
