Guild Wars 2

You could try right clicking the gw2.exe, selecting properties>compatibility and at the bottom under Privilege level make sure, run this program as an administrator is selected, and hit apply and try and start the game again.

Why was your GFX card not already in the top PCI-E port, the top port on most MB’s is the PCI-E x16 port.

Ok so its been 2 weeks, and to hot patches later and this bug still isn’t fixed,

When I right click on the 2 recipes of Dwayna all I get is Use/Destroy, yet others can sell there on the TP, is this bug going to be fixed ( stunned it hasn’t been already ) or we just ignoring it like it never happened?

I guess they didn’t foresee this happening, I guess because none of there dev testers did this, sadly there are times where you just have to kick someone, someone who joins and sits idle to leech, or someone who is abusive,

but Silhouette hit the nail, on the head, if your the party instance owner you control what happens, if your running the instance and a friend gets kicked out, you can leave and kill the instance instantly,

I tend to watch for guild groups when I join a pug group, usually if you have 2 or 3 from the same guild I tend to not stay, as it can lead to issues.

The only major issue I see with this, ( and im sure anet will from a support feature ) is imagine you have b/f – g/f and linked accounts, they split up, one raids the entire account and sells/sends stuff off, or someone sells something they shouldn’t etc etc, support would get hounded with requests for rolls backs etc, it would be a nightmare.

Recently we seen the update that made harvesting tools become account bound, ( the ones bought by gems ) for those who bought several they where allowed a refund etc,

When this happened it meant you can take 1 set of everlasting tools go do an Ori run put them into storage and take them out on a new char,

We can also do this with the ever lasting salvage kit,

Why not make these items like the skins from AP chests, where they become account bound and used on multiply chars at the same time, make it that if you buy an everlasting/account bound item from the BLTC you can get copies of it for every char you make ( when its level 80 ) so we don’t have to keep running back to the storage,

Its not a massive update, its more a QoL update.

Thanks

guild halls are comming eventually.. UW and FOW are closed off because the gods separated themselves from the humans.. and those are god worlds…

as for the obsidian armor.. sure thatd be nice.. tormented weapons too.

cantha is NEVER coming back.. EVER… (cus of real life issues preventing it.. mostly that the Asians do not want it as it bugs them for some stupid reason)

I wouldn’t say UW and FoW are closed off, in Queensdale you get Axtee’s spawning, they where UW only enemies, so there must still be a way into the UW ;-)

The only wish I have for 2014 regarding this game is that they announce an expansion pack which is heavily focused on elder dragon lore and heavy ties to GW1 characters and story(gwen,etc).
I believe an expansion is possibly the only thing that can save the game when all these new mmo’s begin to launch in 2014.

Gwen? Gwen is dead. GW2 is hundreds of years after the events that happened during GW1. This means there is not going to be playable content between now and then. There are three books out there that pretty much tell you what happened between GW1 and GW2. Read a book.

Yes Gewn is dead, but EotN is still way up north in ruins, they could easily have pushed a story line into the north of the map in which we aim to rebuild it etc etc, there are dungeons, ( not everyone wants to read a book ) if they didn’t want any links between the 2 games they should not have called it GW2, there are massives of the map that are unused, Mag’s Jungle ( original one ) C/Desert etc etc,

I don’t really expect anything major at this point anymore, they will take the game in the direction they want too, all the questions that people have from following the first game have will go unanswered, and the truth is there are some pretty impressive MMO coming to the market in 2014, and the delaying etc that is being put into GW2 will take effect then, I have many friends who have abandoned this game already for others, and many more planning it for 2014.

This is/was a great game, and had a lot of potential but too many questions go left unanswered, and being told to go read a book isn’t really a good answer.

I hear what your saying but the RnG is just bad luck, and its more bad than good, I threw 4 random rares into the forge about 2 months ago and The Lover dropped out, in an ironic twist it was the precursor that I wanted a year ago when I played ranger, as that class is dead to me now, I made the legendary and sold it,

The only thing we should be grateful for is that these apparent pre cursors can drop from enemies in game and the forge isn’t the only way to get them, even if the drop rate is close to 0.0000000000000000001%

Honestly if I where you id start hoarding all mats etc and wait for the precursor crafting to come out.

If yr only WvW then yes it’s slower depending on what server your on, I just saved loads of mats I did do world events but the armor I crafted was for wvw as that’s my primary game mode now.

I did that too by mistake but as I intend to make a different set I can use mine, also most people have stacks and stacks of these mats.

I want to add that, unless you are upgrading to x64bit OS there will be no point in adding more ram.

Kjeldoran.3849:

i bet you use windows 7 (maybe 32bit with 2bg of ram)!
anyway i know there are some problems with windows 7 OS but i don’t know why and don’t know how…
(ps: i have 2 pc; on the first one, with win 7, i crash 3/5 times during tequatl fight on the second one, with win 8, no crashes ever.)

That comments seems more of a local issue to you then, many of my friends whom run Windows 7 ( 64bit ) have no issues at all in game, I know many who run windows 8 and have issues, the only part that I will agree is that 32bit OS will run into problems.

Your not going to like this but here it is
OOM = Out Of Memory
OSVersion: Windows 6.1 (32 bit) <—-OOM occurs on windows 32 bit operating systems, its a restriction of windows itself, so far the only fix is to upgrade to a windows 64 bit OS, ( if anyone knows how to fix it without upgrading feel free to post your fix )

Search these forums for Out of Memory and look at how many results you get, it was something clearly overlooked by the developers super computers they used for testing this game.

LOL its a competitive game format, you cannot taunt your enemies ingame, and your cannot taunt them on the forums, they will just drive there entire WvW community to a new site, least that way they have an awesome reason for ignoring WvW they can just say its a dead game format, look no one posts about it,

They might aswell just come out and say it, DO NOT post on the GW2 forums, the fact the “moderators” have free reign around here says it all, just another reason to tell me friends to avoid this forum, bad show.

Next you will not be allowed to post in Tech support /bugs section, as apparently this game has no tech issues or bugs in it, true story.

Whats your system setup, OS, RAM, CPU etc, what does the BSOD say was the problem?

Im going to guess its an issue regards the launcher and windows 8.1, your best bet would be to open a support ticket, explain the problem and even link them to your thread here, there really isn’t much else we can do on here to help.

Are you level 500, I know other times in crafting if you are not close to the level it will not show up what you can craft etc at that level,

I just checked my Artificer and the WupWup inscription is there, it shouldn’t let you buy the same ascended inscription again as once its learnt on that char it should remember it.

This problem occurs in most champ fights for me, or world bosses, it just refuses to target the champ/boss, it will scroll threw every other selectable target in the area but never the target needed.

It will settle down in a couple of weeks, its just because so many people want the “in” thing right now, once the first big push is over silk will again become in massive supply for all.

The entire game is digital, if you bought the game via a CD/DvD then its likely to download the entire updated version of the game,

If it helps my gw2.dat file is 20Gb ( compressed )

Hebee.8460:

Buying said item to exploit an obvious bug is not a reason to give them their money back because they missed out on it.

I disagree, ( and no I didn’t buy/own it) but if people are reading these forums and see others posting that the salvage kit seems to have been upgraded, and they bought it, and then its “reverted” then they do deserve a refund ( but only those who bought it since the patch ) to many times Anet have ran updates and “left” or “forgot” to post in the notes certain key points for those to read. If it was a bug they could have posted on the forums it was a bug and would be fixed, it would have taken them no time at all to revert the change, but they kept quiet about it, because hey its xmas the people suddenly have money to spend……

How hot is that GFX card getting, I can understand a BSOD with an error, but your screen is scrambled with it, it could be the GFX driver crashing, but id be more inclined to say that your GFX card was overheating/faulty, espically given your screen shot from ingame.

Yes you can easily move the entire GW2 folder to a new drive, the only thing you will have to do is update the shortcut ( if you use it ) on the start menu, to the new drive path,

I run my GW2 on my G drive ( its my gaming SSD drive ) and ive never had any problems.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Generous_Wintersday_Gift

I got this and typed in /dance and it fixed it for me.

We know Anet prefer heavy classes to light, I am working on crafting this armor for my necro, the bolts of damask seem to be holding steady on the market at around 14-15G, as the supply isn’t that high compared to others.

I don’t care what way they go with LS aslong as they open up the Crystal Desert and the Maguuma Jungle, after all they haven’t been explored for what 250 years, when they announced that there would be an Epic event that would shock Tyria, I joked with a friend on TS that Scarlet was going to fill LA with the Hyrda’s from the Crystal Desert so when you spawn in there M/Shower follows you over the map like it used to in GW1 LOL.

I play this game daily and never have issues, since that latest hotfix lastnight/this morning, everytime I start this game it tells me the archive has been corrupted and needs repaired, it actually was in the middle of downloading the patch when it popped up and it repaired then continued with the download,

Just restarted the client again and WHAM archive is corrupt and needs repaired,

Anyone else getting this since the hotfix?

As nothing has changed on my system I don’t know where to start looking for this problem, seems strange it was fine last night and today hot patch and archive problems.

Ok, so this recently got patched in a hot fix to make it non account bound which is all good, I have 3 of these recipes drop on day 1 before the update, and 2 grenth ones,

I can sell the Grenth ones, but the Dwayna ones just say USE/DESTROY when I right click on them, everyone else is saying they can be sold/traded, can someone please verify this, or is it a bug that affects the recipes before the patch….. If its working as intended feel free to delete the topic.

Hey, not to cut you off but there is a section that is dedicated to Mac support

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/mac

Hopefully you can find your answers in there and beable to play, as I have no experience with Mac OS I cannot help, I think the Mac client is still in Beta also.

To everyone on JQ who spent the last 3 hours defending your garrison on EBG, GOOD GAME, and awesome battles.

This game is very heavy on the CPU, I suspect as you said your upgrading slowly, that the problems you are having are around the CPU just not being able to handle the game.

Sorry for the late reply,

Go to your GW2.exe file, and right click it and select properties, in the Target line it will say something like

“C:\GUILD WARS 2\Gw2.exe”
add the following to it
“C:\GUILD WARS 2\Gw2.exe” -repair

Select apply and ok, then run GW2 again this time it will verify the games archive etc, remember to remove the -repair command before running the game again or it will repeat the process,

Hope this makes sense, and hope it helps.

This happened to my party when we did a lvl 30 the other day, finished Maw, the maw chest spawned but before the daily chest spawned it kicked the party out to the entrance, my friend on TS with us was the party leader, so he didn’t leave, entire party reported it via the bug report tool.

In saying that, ive noticed that since then, the daily chest usually spawns instantly now, there doesn’t seem to be a delay, expect when you kill the maw……

Have you tried running the -repair command?

Do they appear on a screen shot?? Could be monitor, could be GFX card, whats your system setup and temps?

So they ran this season, messed up a lot of servers with people transferring at the random hope of a good reward, we then got nailed after 7 weeks with the reward chest.

Anyway you know this is the WvW forum not the sPvP forum, dev’s don’t come in here.

Just seen the rewards for winning gold league LOL enjoy your 250 finishers BG, you truly earned them,

On another note, it will be interesting to see what happens now, because the rewards are beyond shocking, and im sure every server will lose a good amount of people in WvW seeing as you could have gotten all the season rewards in PvE in far less time than the 7 weeks we had to wait.

Waits for the sPvP season to start where you will get awesome rewards, so they can call up eSport and shout go go go,

Im sure everyone is just dying to get Season 2 underway how huh,

@Hobbitz – that pic is just brilliant.

LOL @ the rewards, and for all them people that transferred to a stacked server, hope all them gems for gold/$$$ where worth it.

It would appear from watching this stream so far, that older GW1 players will not get to see, Underworld/FoW again, you said the human gods just left, seems rather strange, surely if Tyria was under threat again ( dragons ) they would return, UW/FoW where a huge part of GW1, yet they where completely left out for GW2, disappointing to say the least, is UW/FoW are gone, why are there Aatxe’s being used for the SB event…..what about the Cyrstal desert, elona/cantha did everyone just leave these places too, come on already.

Post your crash log that you get when you crash at Teq, that would be the easiest way to start, you are not the only person that has this problem.

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Obsidian_armor
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Elite_Kurzick_armor

Not all but some of these skins for sure would look awesome in GW2, Assassin Elite Kurzick was good looking in GW

The problem is your just assuming that the lower servers are dead, they maybe just dead for WvW, you have to get someone interested in it, I would say that after the league you will see a lot of guilds moving about, in order to get better battles in the next season,

I heard that the Silver league was more fun to be in than the gold league, and that’s saying something.

Cant we just be happy that for now we are at last getting WvW account bound ranks, lets not push the limits here and make them change there minds.

18.OSVersion: Windows 6.1 (32 bit)

Honestly I highly doubt that your seeing a performance improvement, seeing as you where not using the entire 4GB ram to start with, to use that ram you will need a 64bit OS installed.

What version of DX are you running, as according to that log its Version 8……..

To easy to exploit, so going on your suggestion,

Server A 50 players,
Server B 5 players,
Server C 5 players,

So server A would have lower than normal PPT because they have no threat on there BL, so Server B and C could easily band together and never enter Server A’s boarderland, and just work on there own/ EBG,

Given that this game is a global game, its very hard for them to do anything that involves PPT, as something that works for you personally would punish many other people.

^^^
lol @ rock demon, all that hate, BG won because you have greater coverage across all time zones, its been well shown in the past that the server who has the most coverage wins, you had a gap in your coverage so you filled it with ZD, they will leave after the season then you go back to the way you where before.

SoR will rebuild after the season ends, we have a great community and great commanders, alas there are only so many hours in a day that 1 can play this game, given the WvW guilds we’ve lost so far this season it makes it extremely difficult for the remaining guilds/players to cover that time etc etc,

If it takes SoR to drop a tier to regroup and come back so be it, if we do drop down, BG will have nothing to do in WvW, before the season stated the battles where great, JQ can maybe push BG for a few days, but TC, ( who will likely replace us in T1 ) I doubt would have the power/numbers to compete against BG week in week out, yes TC is beating SoR this week, but im guessing there putting in mega hours to keep that small 8-10k lead, because they can maybe steal 3rd place overall, so good for them if they can get that, it also makes sense for JQ to want TC to take 2nd this week, as it will all but make it that JQ will take 2nd overall.

We did moss man at level 30 last night, and it didn’t give us many issues, no one was downed, I could see it becoming an issue for pugs though, ( unless they patched something during the night )
