Guild Wars 2

MMO’s are never done correct, as they can always be added too, some of the updates you are correct should have been there from launch, but better late than never, I think we all know this game was launched before it was ready, and they have been playing catch up ever since,

But it remains there are some things that need fixed before some of these updates go live, the reward system needs fixed full stop, ( but they are removing some rewards, champ boxes nerfed, we shall see ) dungeons/fractals are broken, ( HotW path 1, Dredge Fractal ) infact dredge has been complained about for over a year, and they just make it harder and more boring,

People wouldn’t be so negative if they just fixed, or even acknowledged some of the bugs that needed major work, instead of being more like ohh look go buy the new shiny in the gem store that you don’t really need.

It does seem strange they would nerf the rewards for events when people always complained that the rewards where so low that events where not worth doing in the first place,

I guess they still have some learning to do when it comes to time vs reward.

You or your friend will have to post the specs of there system, and any crash logs that the game has produced before anyone on these forums can help.

Okies,

TeamSpeak and Guildwars are not linked in anyway, so the issue that it causing them not to work is clearly something on your systems end,

For the Guild wars issue, what exactly Is it doing, depending on when you last played you may have an update to download which could be sizeable,

For the TeamSpeak issue, has your server changed the login details etc causing it to fail, also TS3 had a client side update about 3 weeks ago so you may need that, if it didn’t auto push it to you.

Given the current RnG based drops for Pre cursors, I could only imagine the uproar if they made more legendaries ingame with pre cursors that people will never see even after 2000+ hours of game play.

As for the pic you linked, I was looking at it thinking 1400g isn’t that much really, totally did not pay attention to the persons storage.

Im hoping its something like allowing you to equip more than 2 weapon sets, like in GW1, so that you can just hot swap them without having to open inventory and drag and drop.

Could it be the restrictions on daily bonus chests becoming char bound instead of account bound?

Beginning to wonder is there something wrong here now, my party runs lvl 49 daily, for the last 3 days none of us have even had a ring from the end chest let alone anything else, know RnG is being thrown about but If you take 5 ppl opening 5 daily chests over 3 days, your talking 15 chests and nothing other than fragments and relics, come on………………………….

Belzebu.3912:

If you look at the image in the article, the dye change cost 0 transmutations.

If you look at the image yes it shows 0 cost, but then we don’t know if any dye was put on the armor in that screen shot, at least on the armor change video we could see the cost change as the dev changed the armor pieces,

As of right now it seriously looks like they are going to add a cost to change armor colour under the new system, it would be awesome for a dev to comfirm whether they are adding a charge to a system which is currently free.

You will never hear me say this again, but it could just be RnG, I have ran 1000’s of fractals, and never gotten a fractal skin, or anything super expensive, I did get 1 fractal recipe that is it,

Yet a friend of mine since the fractured update, has gotten 8 maybe 9 ascended weapons boxes now and a pre-cursor, another got an ascended weapon from a lvl 19 fractal reward and they hardly run fractals

The way this game rewards ppl is beyond broken, and hopefully when anet start doing there feature updates, this will be addressed, so personally I don’t know how much long I can be bothered to log in to do dailies/same boring stuff each day for no rewards.

Becka Williams.4978:

You won’t get a refund. I do think that a one time stat change for celestial gear might be nice. It was done for magic find gear, so the code’s already in the game

This x100, some of us made ascended armor with Celestial stats, and now Anet changed it, they should allow us to change the armor like they did with the MF so we can select new armor, the nerf to crit makes this armor nearly pointless now, I would actually like a DEV to respond to that point, or is it going to be a too bad you wasted all that money and mats on ascended armor.

They should make it that after the drill exploded in LA, they find ancient scrolls from old LA, which talk about old Tyria, and turn the old GW1 missions into Fractals.

What are your computer specs, CPU,GFX,PSU etc

If its hard resetting, its either a power issue or hardware failure, as its giving you a pink/yellow screen you cannot rule out drivers though, so yea what exactly are you running, and do you have any crash logs from the game itself?

Id happily pay 4000 gems for a permanent black lion salvage kit, with no copper cost attached to it.

I dunno, when this came up last year everyone shouted RnG until it came out that it actually was a bug and was later fixed,

I have terrible salvage rates when it comes to ecto, my friends all joke with me saying your luck is so bad, give me your rares and ill salvage them for you, I salvaged 30 rares a few days ago ( just from world events ) and got 4 ecto, this is common for me, so I no longer salvage rares, they either become forge food or sold, none of my friends have this bad rate of return, they are close to the 1:1 ratio maybe just under.

Do I think its a bug, no, do I believe its RnG no, do I believe some accounts are still set with higher rates of return/drop rates than others when created, 100% yes.

I ended up having to guest to another server, and was able to play for 2-3 hours no problem, the odd random lag spike but no DC’s I changed char’s went back to TC and within 10 mins Error 7…….. why does every patch day have to lead to massive server issues.

Since the update tonight ive had an error 7 every 10-15 mins and it just boots me out to a black screen, I have to kill the game via task manager or task bar,

Is anyone else getting this problem on their primary server, everything else is running fine, but I did the usual router reset etc just to make sure, friends are also complaining of serious lag but no DC’s as of yet.

According to the Dev in this post

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/Queue-is-broken

The Queue isn’t a Queue, its more of an approx position which shows that you may or may not get in, as you can see in that topic when clearly people complained it got locked.

So when is a Queue not a Queue, when its in GW2

I personally feel that some of the Season 1 LS content was ok, be it tempory or not, some of it was shockingly bad at the same time, I think they used the first LS as a benchmark to see how far they could push the client etc and how to scale events for the future,

For example when Sun South cove came out it was horrible, the lag for the event was off the chart, people being kicked out all over the place, log in servers being taken offline so that people could not overflow hop to get the rewards time and time again, they did learn from this though,

They then lost there way near the end by adding content that required 100+ man zergs to beat it, and I wouldn’t have beaten some of this stuff if it wasn’t for TTS forcing an overflow so we could beat it undisturbed, but im fairly sure that’s not what Anet invisioned.

I agree that in GW1 they had in the same time, had added, Sorrows Furnace which added green weapons to the game, shortly followed by Factions, which personally I did not play until after Nightfall was released due to the horrible lag is had, im not sure what Anets planning to do, if they don’t announce an Expansion they better have some awesome projects planned, as the game is stale atm, Im at the point where I log in do the daily and log out, and well there are some big games coming out this year so yea.

I have to believe that if its the same team that works on GW2 that worked on GW1 that there is another factor holding them back from progressing the way the community seems to want them too, its like a friend of mine said last week, if it wasn’t for the Artists that work for GW2, this game probably wouldn’t be here now, as the art in the game is some of the best ive seen in an online game.

Awesome idea, would probably be really simple to introduce aswell, id suggest some conversions though else ull see 1000 badges for 1 tome,

100 badges + 25silver = tome

Why do these topics keep coming up, Anet cannot change it, if they put restrictions on WvW that affect certain people from certain timezones, them players leave the game, its simple, its called World Vs World, ( World being Global ) going by some of the times you want to close the servers down, giving that I work a strange shift pattern I may only get to play 1 hour a day for a week and not at all the following week, on top of that you want only EBG open in the down time, so means if you log on and see there are 150 ppl in Que to bad for you no WvW today,

WvW and coverage is what you make of it, you either adapt to it or you don’t, if you cannot, don’t make suggestions that work for you, maybe your guild and a few friends, but completely destroy the game for other timezones.

truewingnut.2517:

Yep, same CRAP, different week. What happened to randomizing the match-ups?

Guess they are gonna try and kill WvW. Watching DB gain 150+ points over 3 weeks to take a higher spot because SoR is tanking. Pitiful.

I like the way you say that, because SoR is tanking, maybe your not up to date with current events, SoR is hardly tanking, they have very little to NO WvW coverage atm, and are in a state or repair given that id say about 80-90% of there WVW coverage left the server,

For everyone else going on about the matchups they are currently in, going on the rankings its all going to changed next week,

DB should move up to to T2,
FA will drop to T3
SoR will drop to T4
IoJ should move up to T3

That will shake things up, on the Yaks bend part WvW has been dead there for along time, that’s why many of us left about a year ago now things maybe changing there as I heard recently that a hardcore PvD commander left the game, so who knows.

Jeffrey Vaughn.1793:

Where are you? I need at least a map name, and a waypoint/poi to pinpoint the location would help.

Its just a little east of [Cornucopian Fields Waypoint]

This is going to depend on what you need to max this out, titles like Vanquisher, Missions, ( HM Missions ) etc are easy to get, mapping can be easy with or without text mod, the EotN titles are easy to get etc, if you have the money in game, then sweet tooth/drunkard are fast also, but titles like lucky/unlucky will take along time, and you should probably avoid them.

Chris.3290:

No, SoR is in the worst position EVAR!

Actually id say that IoJ was in the worst out of all 3, as given SoR’s rapid rate of decline threw the rankings, losing approx. 80 points per week ranking, by end of next week they will likely fall to T4 and push IoJ up into T3, and im not sure that server has the coverage needed to compete.

That would be my guess, they prob telling all there WvW guilds to relax and take it easy for the Season 2, because when it starts they all have to put in 26 hours a day playing WvW ;o)

Skype works great for 1 to 1 calling in video, when you start adding more to it, it becomes a lag fest, I don’t think its really designed for mass conversation the way some claim,

You may want to look into programs that are dedicated for cams etc.

I got

-200 luck
-1 rare
-1 skill point scroll
-50 blade shards,

That was it, it sucked, the entire LS the loot sucked, and the end was no exception to this, for LS season 2 just make it that you need to buy a gift of trading post for 30,000 gems and be done with it.

seekerking.2875:

Why are the logs dated January 27 , 2013 to March 17, 2013?

Are these even up to date, or have you been screwing with the machine’s time? The OP was 23 days ago aka February, so chances are, you’re posting the wrong logs.

Genius.

Nothing to do with the fact we are now in 2014, so yes they where the wrong logs, which the OP when asked said they could not find the newer ones,

Ok so I asked this in another thread but the dev locked it and didn’t merge it so meh,

Other than the $$$‘s they want for it, these don’t make sense,

These weapons where effectively end game weapons from Nightfall, you had to farm the Domain of Anguish in order to get them, where I know later on people would trade for them etc that’s not the point, they had no LINK at all to Tyria, so why have they brought them back, the UW and FoW where right under Tyria yet we do not see them coming back, infact Anet has moved to remove nearly all links from GW1 to GW2, so where did these weapons come from.

Would anet care to explain that, as if you can bring these back, why not UW, FoW, Elona, Cantha, etc etc etc, or is the new game model just about how much $$$ you can pull out of your players before another game takes them.

Sera.6539:

I guess I got it from dumb luck? Was on my Guardian. Used Retreat, Stand Your Ground, and initiated the stomp. Got the achievement.

I just tried this not 4 mins ago, didn’t make a difference, instantly knocked back.

Ok, so tonight there is a conversation on TS about these weapons, and maybe we missed something about them where not sure,

In Guild Wars ( for those who didn’t play it ) the Tormented weapons could only be gotten via The Domain of Anguish, which was in Elona ( Nightfall ) which you had to farm in order to get the coffer of whispers, they had no interaction with Tyria at all.

So far there has been no link from GW2 to Elona how where these weapons discovered to be introduced to the game, or is it really just down to the $$$…

I don’t follow Lore in this game very much, so if we did miss something maybe some of the Lore enthusiasts can let me know. I only ask because so far in the 18+ months of playing this game, they seem real determined not to link GW to GW2 at all, but now they kinda linked Elona to it,

Back up, when did it glow like that lol, you look like something right out of Avatar

CC Danicia.1394:

Ok I Did It.2854:

Doubtful as any Anet dev that plays the game can always get into the main server so it doesn’t really affect them does it.

Actually, when we’re playing the game, our accounts are just like everyone else’s accounts. We do not have easy access at all. I’ve played this content in numerous overflows. Many of us aren’t flagged, but we are out there playing with you.

uh huh, so since this update went live, have you been in your main server at all??? As ive been stuck in OF all day everyday, and ive never seen the pop up to move to the main server yet, and as many others are saying the same thing, its just way to easy to AFK into a main server and sit there all day doing nothing, or just rolling the events, and I have no doubt at all that if you where stuck in an OF server that was failing time and time again, you could easily move to another server/main.

As for the question about what makes you think OF’s are worse than main servers, simple, friends in the same guild who are in the main server, are succeeding the event to get into scarlet, OF ive been stuck on beat all 3 knights 1 time, and BOOM the event was bugged so we couldn’t continue.

As the 780Ti is a new card is it possible there is no profile for GW2 yet for SLI.

I wouldn’t think you would see any performance boost with SLI on that card anyway given that 1 of them can destroy this game on its own.

Just curious but what version of these cards do you have?

Id be more worried about what is causing your computer to crash to be honest, rather than the rewards your missing.

The skill system in GW1 allowed for way more builds etc to be used, the negative affects on some skills where offset by buffs on others, and where put in to make some builds ( more solo ) harder to run but not impossible,

GW2 skills by far are somewhat boring, you tend to only ever use 3-6 utility skills, ( depending on class ) and that never changes, and your stuck with the same skills from your primary weapon, which again most classes will stick to 1 or 2,

I think Anet went down this road not to be unique but more so they didn’t have to worry about changing skills etc, and it allowed for easier changes etc, sadly this game seems to be skill balanced around sPvP,

We are 18 months into the game and I think we’ve seen what 8 new healing skills, no attack/defense skills etc, so im not holding out for anything to be honest.

Funny you say this we where discussing this last night on TS, surely after that drill dug down so far, got to its target then seemed to explode somewhat, the water level in the Bay around LA would drop some.

For those who done it, did you do it before the hot fix last night, as today when I tried it, as soon as I get near her, be it in stealth, teleport, etc she instantly knocks me back, even with quickness etc its instant knock back.

Zayd Akira.1942:

they said after the end of the living story season one they were gonna take a break to give out a lot of living quality improvements. maybe this is one of them.

Doubtful as any Anet dev that plays the game can always get into the main server so it doesn’t really affect them does it, I was stuck in OF for 7 hours yesterday, a friend guested over to my server was in the same OF and 10 mins later it popped for them to join main server, they did, and they where in the main server of my world not there own, so guests can get into main servers but people native to them worlds cannot, so I was stuck in an OF server hoping that events would get completed, ( as many others where too )

I hope whoever decided OF was a good idea no longer works for Anet, they should have stuck to the same design as GW1 where it become district 1, 2, 3, 4 etc that allows you to move.

I don’t know how this is possible, we took an entire map zerk and burned down blue in 2 mins 30-40seconds, I don’t see how this is possible, esp with the anti condi hate they pump out, so unless the entire map zerg is missing something major…

Well that was unexpected, only a matter of time before the haters get on, good job anet, good job indeed, kinda interested to see where this is going now, hopefully to an entirely new part of the game word.

This is rapidly turning into a TTS only event yet again, the scaling is broken worse than the Wurm event, and by Friday if you haven’t gotten it, no one will be running it, instead of allowing everyone to enjoy the end of living story they made it insanely hard to get it done.

Big Tower.5423:

Not to insult you or anything but this is just a conspiracy theory. As it does not really make sense. Why?

1. Arenanet has no reason to flag a account for good mystic forge rate…
2. Its just the unfairness of RNG, a casual player can get 99999 precursors while a harcore player get 0. its the anet so called step to help out the casuals. so time spent matters less….

It makes perfect sense for them to do this, first we have no way of proving they do not do this, second, it allows them to keep filtering in ultra high end pre cursors, it makes no sense for the casual player to get all the great drops and the hardcore ones get screwed, its the hardcore ones that are keeping there game going. The RnG system is broken, sadly by the time anet realise this and finally acknowledge this, another game will have come out that will have sucked most of there gamers away.

Fungalfoot.7213:

Welcome to Guild Wars 2 where the only true path to success is sitting at the trading post all day flipping goods. Sure, it’s an awful MMO but it’s a pretty good Wall Street simulator.

LOL funny you say that, a former guild mate started flipping on the TP made a lot of gold, doesn’t play anymore, instead they got interested in RL trading haha and now buy and sell stocks, thinking they could put the same methods to use, I guess we shall see how that works out,

On the topic now, FotM loot system has been broken since it started, I don’t know why your so upset, surely you know that any content in this game that takes time to complete is never worth the drops, it only gets worse the higher you go, I have ran 1000’s of fractals and never walked out with anything great, sure everyone gets the T6 mats, the fotm exotics etc, but it really is just pure RnG, my fellow guild mate that runs FotM also since the fractured update has gotten 8 ascended chests, and a pre cursor,

I guess it comes back to the old, certain accounts are tagged on creation to have higher RnG rolls than others.

If you want loot stick to doing the PRESS 1 to win events, or TP flipping.

I don’t think there is anything wrong with BG, I wouldn’t blame them for taking it easy for the next few weeks coming into the Season 2, giving the serious hammering they gave other servers during Season 1 id say they are just waiting,

On a side note, for the first time today I checked out the BG website, nice intro, that alone would actually make people who like WvW interested in your server.

No where does it say that precursors will be cheaper in the next patch, even if Anet was to increase the drop rate x10 you would need everyone to sell them, which wouldn’t happen, most would probably make the legendary, even if precursor crafting comes into the game soon, it will still take months for the prices to drop, and infact they may actually increase depending on how much time gating etc anet put on it.

As for your original posting about its value, it doesn’t matter what we say, it depends on what your goals are, when I made and sold The Dreamer people where asking 2k gold for it, and people wanted it for 1700g, i sold it for 1700g as i could do a lot of with that gold for my other toons etc, so it really depends on what your goals are.

Id say its ( A ) to be honest, not so much as to undercut but probably to try and stabilise the price somewhat, but 53k is a drop in the ocean in this game, im sure there are 100’s of thousands of ecto’s traded daily.

Not a bug

Valts.6703:

I can tell you that much… Gw will studder on both of these cards. If i recall correctly from my 660 days fps droped as low as 15. And that with an i5 3570k @ 4ghz. So getting a new gpu for just gw doesn’t make much sence. But if you are a general gamer you would be better off with the 760.

Studder how exactly, I have a 680GTX @ 2540×1440 and the game runs smooth, a friend runs the 760 at the same res and his game runs smooth, so please explain yourself, as that could make someone thing the game has a fault with these cards,

The GFX driver can make a difference on these cards,

Anyway, the 660 is an older card now and will probably be phased out soon, so if your budget can afford it, id go with the newer 760 , that’s my personal opinion.
