These crashes seem to be game wide since the patch. Crash reports coming in from many different areas of the game.

Where I have no doubt there are crashes, I did 2 other fractals that have no changed since patch and had no issues, yet the above mentioned ones all crashed to desktop.

At least 2 of the fractals after the patch have changed from before the patch

level 80 is now MAW before the patch it was Molten Boss
level 76 is now AQUA before the patch it was Dredge

I tried both of these fractals tonight and on both them the entire party got a hard crash to the desktop, it seems that fractals that have changed to newer ones after the patch, are bugging out,

I would suggest that anyone who is doing fractals, esp high level ones, make sure its the same after patch as it was before, or you run the risk of being booted out of game and back to LA.

Others that have changed

Before patch 70 – Molten boss, now its Solid Ocean
Before patch 75 – Mai Trin, now its Aqua dark patch
Before patch 80 – Solid Ocean, now its Molten boss
Before patch 83 – Swamp, now its Molten Furance

A few friends where trying the others, and resulted in parties being kicked to desktop then returned to LA upon log in,

I cannot check from 89-100 as I haven’t got the personal level to see them in the drop down menu,

Be careful doing any of the above mentioned fractals, as it will likely incur a crash to the desktop.

Incentivising fractals other than swamp

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

But then this restricts the players who don’t just play certain fractals, if the rewards where better for longer fractals people would run them, as it stands they don’t, because its the age old problem with this game, time vs reward.

But we shall see what Tuesdays update brings us.

The issue with the longer/shorter fractals isn’t one of rewards tho. It’s pretty much just “swamp/moltenbros are ez and everyone knows them”.

It is rewards though, that’s why you see in the LFG lvl40 farm, lets say a really experienced team can run it in 5 minutes flat, that’s 12 runs an hour, 12 x final end chest, if anet remove the end chest for extra runs, then people will not help others, ive ran the same fractal a few times a day to help guild mates/friends out.

Now take the same team and run a level 94 Cliffside, it will take them what, 30 mins to get to boss,

So 12 runs vs 2 ,

Now if Anet said, at level 80-90 you have a 25% extra chance at ascended gear/pristine relics etc, and at level 91-100 that goes up to 40% you would see people running the longer ones,

Im sure anet has been monitoring this for months now, fractals where never meant that only 1 was ran over and over, so expect a massive nerf bat to hit swamp hard on Tuesday,

Maybe at level 80+ for everyone you complete in a day you get a fractal token, when you get to 50 tokens, you can trade it in for an ascended chest.

Copy the Labyrinth from Path of Exile.

Each difficulty level (Casual/Core/Veteran/Elite) has a fixed series of Fractals, randomly set each day.

But then this restricts the players who don’t just play certain fractals, if the rewards where better for longer fractals people would run them, as it stands they don’t, because its the age old problem with this game, time vs reward.

elite fractal master question

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

I still need to do 94 for elite fractal master. does anyone know if I need to do this before the patch, I saw it said to do the other 2 cause they were getting removed but not sure about this one.
literally no one wants to do 94 atm so I hope not.

I thought the same as you but I was wrong,

Direct quote from MO’s topic

The quarterly update will include changes to Fractals, and among those will be changes to the tiering structure. We’ll have to retire two of the current achievements, Casual Fractal Hero and Core Fractal Hero. While we’ll introduce new achievements to replace the ones we’re retiring, any progress made toward the old achievements will not count toward the new ones. If you’ve been working toward the old achievements, you have a few weeks or so left to wrap them up.

Its the 2 lower tiers they are removing, the 1-20 and 21-50, the Elite ones are staying, but yea I thought the same as you until someone in my guild pointed out my error.

I would say that the lvl 40 farm is going to get slaughtered.

Ok I Did It.2854

Im not sure how they could introduce newer/better rewards for higher fractals, maybe anything over 80 has a higher reward chance at ascended gear or whatever.

I highly doubt that when Anet changed fractals up they thought that 77 would be the highest ran,

I do try daily to get people to do fractals other than 77, sometimes I get a group other days its a waste of time,

Snowbind has to be 1 of the worst at higher levels, the snowstorm is unforgiving, ( not to mention it gives me a wicked headache watching it ) Cliffside is a close 2nd for worst, the problem with some of them though is, they do take longer than others, but the rewards are not better,

I did a lvl 99 and 100 back to back the other day, and I didn’t get a rare between them, lvl 100 was like 3 greens, sorry there is no incentive at all to do higher levels when I can run swamp lvl 2 in 5 mins and get rares/exotics.

Sadly though from past events like this, anet don’t fix the rewards they just nerf the lower rewards into the ground so hard that no one will run them at all, id doubt this time will be any different, instead of buffing high rewards they will just nerf the lower ones,

Personally at level 80+ id like to see the +1 agony drops removed, and see upwards of +5 to +10 agony drops as potential rare rewards.

Ecto price is being pumped

Ok I Did It.2854

A buy order for 250k is nothing though, that’s a stack of ecto for 1000 players each, which is a drop in the ocean to the number of ecto being moved about, ecto is used in a lot of crafting, compare that with the pending update, it could be 10,000 players ordering 25 ecto each,

The market will stabilize in a few weeks.

Demand, its been on the increase for a few weeks now, either people are stock piling for the update incase there are major changes, espically around scribing etc, ascended armor, and even getting ready for the last Legendary,

It usually evens itself out fairly quickly.

Just FYI,

Its always this way heading into a big update.

Remove EoTM or limit its use

in WvW

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

EoTM is sucking WvW population.

Ive seen more and more WvW based guilds move into EoTM as its the only way they can get a fight outside EBG,

If EBG is queued, then they have to go to EoTM as the Home BLs are terrible,

EoTM isn’t what sucked the population out of WvW, it was the lack of WvW support that did that from Anet,

And if the “WvW Update” doesn’t address the WvW issue, you can watch even more people head to EoTM to battle it out,

However the return of the Alpine BL will go along way to restoring WvW population.

Hackers Capping Towers

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

What I am trying to say is that is sending an email to x address really the optimal way to solve this issue?

The optimal way would be adding real GMs to the game who actually monitor all.

The Optimal way to fix this would be to make it that if you get under the map either by exploit or by random blink ( random skill glitch, IE accident ) that you take 500,000 damage a second, thus giving you no chance to do anything,

Maybe Anet could add something under the map like a map marker ( POI ) that can only be triggered by getting under the map, and if you trigger it, it automatically tags your account for monitoring, if it triggers it twice it instant bans you by having DHUMM spawn grab your body take you to the top of SMC and throw you off the top.

A mapping suggestion

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

The only map that I find still a little confusing is VB, and its just because of the way paths overlap each other at different levels, as for AB, and TD, once you have the Nuhoch unlocked the map is very very easy to navigate, and DS is just 3 paths, with very little in the way of different levels to navigate.

Boon manipulation and open world PvE

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

I run a Reaper/Necro in PvE, and the boon removal it does isn’t such a big thing, the enemies can re-apply them fairly fast, and if an enemy has multiple boons, it wont change the battle, but, there are better builds to run in PvE for necro, boon stripping like it has been said is more raids and pvp.

Why are people so afraid of raiding?

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

I don’t fear raiding, I don’t fear any content in this game, but just because im in a guild that don’t really want to push hardcore into raids, that leaves me with only having to do it with pugs, and then you come up again the you need to ping your 500 LI’s or kick, you need to have 15k AP or kick, OMG I died once, we have to blame the other person, lets kick them,

I know how to play my class, and could gear out any class to do them, its just not worth the time to try please a few ppl who think they are elite because they read metabattle.

Gw2 Playerbase and future

Of course the game has way less players than at launch or even 2 years ago, but all games suffer from that, people move on, grow up, get jobs, start families, yadda yadda,

SAB being dropped now, ( like someone on reddit said ) was massive damage control, and something to shift the momentum on the forums away from the legendary fall out, but its something that was asked for, for along time so who knows,

As for the future of this game, only MO and the Anet team can decide that, if they can put out content the way they are claiming the can by cutting resources and other projects, then the game will be ok for a few years yet, if they continue to cut projects/resources and don’t deliver the content, then the game will continue to suffer to the point where they have to ask is it worth it.

I haven’t reported this as a bug as im not sure it is,

I did Trib mode the first time it was around, however there is a new achievement to find the shops,

However on world one, between checkpoints 3 and 4 you have a short run, when I did this 2 years ago I made it ok, so I went to check dulfys guild and her in video you clearly have enough time to make the run, granted if you make a mistake its over,

But now you don’t seem to have the time needed, as soon as you jump the block is already in jump mode also, so as soon as you land BAM you are knocked off, you could use a dodge roll to avoid the knockback, but the knockback occurs as soon as you hit the ground without a chance to roll to avoid,

Its like they have extended the blast area from the blocks, on the final 2 blocks, I managed to evade the first one but mid evade the 2nd block triggers, knocks you back, then the first block hits you and kills you.

Has anyone else had an issue at this checkpoint.

Yea I seen the reddit where WP is thinking of quitting GW2, but as for his video hes spot on, he hits the topic perfect, but it will fall on deaf ears.

If the crafting part was such an issue, all they had to do was drop the Pre’s into the forge, and allow RNG to take over like before, allow the players to trade them just like the old Legendary’s.

Then what on earth is the point of being a ranger Aidan? There’s plenty of bosses who I have to ‘pay’ as you say.

I’m a tactical player young man.

It isnt “tactical” to sit on a longbow going pewpew at an immobile boss with predictable attacks. Being a ranger is MORE than using a longbow. That you think it’s only so means you dont understand how anet’s even using the name to describe the class. And frankly I dont care about rangers. They suck balls compared to GW1’s rangers.

Your joking right, its a world boss, that has a massive deadly AoE attack, everyone at that boss its 1,1,1, move to the right to avoid AoE, 1,1,1,1,1, dodge roll back, to avoid AoE, move back in 1,1,1,1 collect loot, just like most world bosses.

Id hate to be the person responsible for this PR clean up, and if they think its bad on here, reddit is a mine field, I don’t think they where expecting this kind of back lash to be honest, it looks like they have actually pulled the plug on HoT in general now, and moved onto the next project, and anything that is currently bugged isn’t likely to be looked into,

Furthermore why did they choose to post this on Good Friday, with most people probably away for easter weekend, this just allows several days of hate to build up.

They need to make the new pre’s come from the forge also, this would allow the “team” working on the legendary’s to work on,

I feel its been dropped due to the crafting being linked to events that stick or are just broken, and its causing so many issues to try and fix, so its easier to remove it from the game altogether, from reading reddit, you can see there next expansion is going to be a massive headache for the PR team trying to sell it.

The ONLY upside to this is, they have now fix the problem around Amalgamated Gemstones as no one will want them now LOL.

This team of developers will instead shift their efforts back to Living World style content, building new journeys and events for everyone to participate in.

Glad you finally decided to stop catering to the small minority who have the time and/or desire to play such niche content as legendary items and raids.

He didn’t say anything about axing the Raid team, that’s probably the only content you will see being updated.

Ok I Did It.2854

So you’ve just added to the lack of content in the game by removing the 1 thing people asked for to be added, figures.

You should have left it that pre’s could be gotten from the forge and traded, this would have allowed for faster introduction of the new legendary’s, and the grind fest ( crafting ) could have been added later, this would have still at least allowed the new weapons to be introduced as promised,

It seems that Anet is really struggling here, we keep hearing about we have all these dev’s yet HoT is still awash with game breaking bugs that are not fixed, and no new content is being pushed, maybe its time to pull the TP dev team into your core group, or better yet move the TP dev team into the new legendary team, after all the TP dev team are pushing out new content on a weekly basis,

It really feels like your getting distracted or have no idea where your going, its like you have an idea and start on it, and then well this might work too, and get side tracked and before you know it you have no idea where you where going in the first place,

Im just expecting now a post stating, sorry the WvW fix has been delayed due to unforeseen circumstances, we’ll check back in a year.

As the new Legendarys have been scrapped, and the collections are basically pointless now ( crafting was only for newer players not veterans ) can you PLEASE allow us to craft more than 1 of the new Legendarys I would love to not have to move my Nevermore between characters.

There is no doubt that had you said 2 months prior to HoT release that Legendarys would be scrapped, a lot less people would have invested in your game, this update you posted, will hurt your game going forward for future expansions, ive been playing GW since launch back in 05, and GW2 since launch, and even im starting to feel like its becoming shady.

WvW broken
PvP hurting
Dungeons nerfed
New legendarys cancelled
Hot game breaking bugs since launch

Yea its not looking to HOT right about now.

Thinking about it, is there any reason to go back into the HoT maps at all now, you needed to grind them maps for the materials needed for the new Legendary’s now that you don’t need the mats anymore, the grinding can stop,

I don’t know why anyone would go into the maps now, afterall the loot rewards are shocking, the bags affect by magic find drops blues and greens even with 450%+ MF, and after doing each map multiple times its no longer fun.

If you are doing a SW chest farm, then the loot you get is always going to be there, but it really is mind numbingly boring, I haven’t done the chest farm since HoT was released,

However, the cursed shore is only good if you get a commander leading the train that knows what they are doing, if you get more than 1 commander arguing on the map its pointless as they will end up doing events at the same time etc,

If you are trying the Meta’s in the new HoT maps and are not having any luck, try

http://gw2timer.com/

It will show you the current world event that is happening, but at the bottom it also shows you the status of each of the HoT maps, some maps will push the meta after the event has been completed to prep it for the next one, the problem here is the 2 hour window between events,

As for the Vinetooth prime, I don’t know what servers others play on, but I kill it at least 3 times a day as part of the meta prep, the biggest problem with this event is apparently its the 1 time people don’t know what CC means.

We had the ability in GW1 to select US or EU as we wanted, you could play with people across the world ( when GW1 was first launched it was the same as GW2, either NA or EU not both, it was later changed ) so yes it can be done, my guess is though they would have problem with WvW as they have 2 different reset times,

Maybe in a couple of years when numbers fall low enough that not even mega server can make a difference they will bring back this option,

Myself and other who played GW1 don’t know why they went back to the NA or EU only setup, it seemed like a step backwards from the GW1 system, but to each there own I guess.

Uncap magic find?

Ok I Did It.2854

I have 314% Base MF ( 300 from luck and 14 from APs ) with boosters I can easily get this upwards of near 500% and I can tell you that either my account is tagged as unlucky or the system is broken, espically when friends who don’t believe in MF and only run around 100% are yielding more rares / exotics than me,

I stated along time ago that MF should be uncapped, those who don’t want it, can make a fortune selling the items on the TP, those who want it, will spend gold to get it, it all balances out.

The last 75 levels or so, require 30,000 luck per level, I would suggest that,

301-350 – 45,000 per level
351-400 – 50,000 per level
401-450 – 55,000 per level
451-500 – 60,000 per level
501+ 60,000 per level

This would slow it down, but not make it impossible, maybe a new soft cap of say 750-1000% should be new cap,

Im also all for a dynamic cap, where each month is raises by say 20% a month going forward.

It would be great to get Anet input on this, or are we going to be forced to move this topic to reddit to get it acknowledged….

Are any of your other weapons master going up, what sigil do you use,

I remember when I was on my Ranger using a short bow back in the day, when I swapped to short bow, it had like an AoE trigger on the ground, if an enemy was in that AoE and died, it counted towards my Sword master track, even though I never used a sword on my Ranger.

The game is full of strange bugs like that.

Important Issues for next AMA

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

1. Build Templates
2. Improving the Rune/Sigil System especially for legendary armor
3. Bringing back older skins like Fused/Zodiac
4. The poor supply of mystic coins

1, Build Templates where great in GW1, I would love to see them in GW2, clearly you would need to be out of combat to change them but yes still, in WvW for those who are concerned it could maybe be made that you do indeed need to be in the home base to change them on the fly, but then I don’t change builds a lot in WvW or find I need to change skills much ( maybe leave this update to PvE )

2, I personally think that when you unlock a sigil/rune it should be permanent so that you can select it on the fly from the weapon, granted you have to add each sigil etc to each weapon, but those who play the sigil/rune market will be up in arms as there prices will plummet, the current sigil/rune setup means that people are very unwilling tor change them up as they cost a lot to replace, hence META builds.

3, I never use the market skins, they have no interest to me, as most of them should have been added in game to collect, not via $$$$$$$ greedy greedy.

4, The mystic coin issue will never affect anyone who does not make Legendary’s anyone else who does will know the issues here, the fact they are now 30s each, says there is not enough of them ingame, a way to fix this is to either change the CLOVER RECIPE so that you make the CLOVERS without RnG, this would bring better balance but as Anet loves RnG the issue around clovers will continue to get worse, when they release the next batch of Legendarys you will see clover prices push towards 50-60s each unless Anet does something about the supply.

Fractals aren’t really that bad, if you joined a group that is doing a set fractals for say dailies, or you joined a group that is to high level for you, then you can get that silence/kicked out, as people don’t want to teach people,

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Fractals_of_the_Mists

From level 1-19 now you don’t need any Agony Resistance, so its more about learning the encounter, you can always start your own group for fractals stating new to them, you will get a group, or if you haven’t, try and find a casual guild that does fractals/dungeons that can show you the best way to get into them etc.

Going on your other topic where you asked what the best class to play, did you try any of them,

It really does depend on how you play and how your commander plays, Necro is great for tags, wells and marks are just great, if you don’t use the reaper build, the DS is also great when running threw a zerg,

The best for tagging I think hands down has to be Guardian, the staff is just OP when it comes to tags, but this does require you to be a little closer in combat, so may take some time to get used to depending on your skill level / size of the battles,

Each class has its pro’s and con’s when it comes to tagging for loot bags.

The above is my personal opinion, other players who are better and say ele/Mesmer etc may disagree, but I main Guard/Necro in WvW

There is no magic number its pure RnG I used to play the forge a lot and I mean ALOT, ive probably had over 20,000 gold into that thing, and ive had a fair number of pre’s from it, but its complete hit and miss,

1 time I got 3 pre’s in 30 minutes with less than 200gold, another time I put in 2500gold and didn’t get anything out, so the average on that is around 1 pre per 900g

The only pre I never got from the forge even to this day is the Chaos Gun, ( and 2 of the under water ones )

I would say my average is around 1 pre per 500-600g which back in the day was good, with pre prices falling hard its not so much now,

Anet never should have made it that the only way to get a pre was from crafting, they always should have been drops ingame and from forge.

@Aidan Savage, I do believe there are lucky/unlucky accounts, some people I know in this game have had extreme luck, like way off the bounds of what RnG should get you, the only thing I will say is that Anet can never admit to that, as it would single handily destroy there game, as why would you buy an account if it was only ever going to get back RnG, I had to gamble hard for my pre’s other seems to get them fall from enemies all over the game.

Suggestion- Raid Difficulty Settings [Merged]

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

Please do not add extra difficulties, the Raids are fine as they are. Do not bend to a few complainers who refuse to put any effort into the Raid.

You mean like how Anet bent to the players who QQ’d for raids in the first place, or how they bent to the players who QQ’d about having to do map completion in WvW for a Legendary,

Anet probably wont make difficulty settings as it would be pretty hard to do id imagine, but having that attitude is what makes people push harder and complain more about the raids to begin with, like I said in another topic, the raid community cannot support this game alone, Anet needs to find balance, else they can sit back and watch all there hard work crumble as they go out of business.

Go read this

They aren’t complaining about raids, but it gives good insight as to why people don’t want them.

Won't be getting Legendary armor!

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

There seems to be 2 groups of people now forming in this community, the “I love raids and everyone else can suck it” and the “I hate raids I want them gone”

Those people who have done the raids/are in guilds that do them, really cannot see that most people will not beable to get into them, because god forbid someone needs to learn the raid… im in a massive guild and today they asked for people to help raid, only if they new the RAID, then proceeded to complain when no one wanted to go,

This issue will get worse, give it 2 or 3 raids down the line the group of people doing them will be so small, that they may actually need to get pugs to help, and then they will be back here complaining they cannot get people to do the raids,

Anyway, the Legendary armor is a mute point, Anet will sooner or later make a way for non Raid players to get it, remember when you needed WvW map completion to get Legendary, then Anet removed it because NON WvW players didn’t want to go in there,

If they lock Legendary Armor behind raids so that only the hardcore players can get it, they will just push other players out of the game, Anet is not stupid ( even though they make stupid decisions sometimes ) they know that the raid community alone cannot support this game, this is why you will see Legendary Armor obtainable, ( it must just be the Raid Version looks different.

No, i think a lot of people will also hold off on the next one, they will want to see what they are getting before buying.

A lot of comments think gold seller, but who knows, ive seen in the past new players who used Twitch and had a fortune donated to them, it really all depends on how that site calculates wealth, and or if it was a bug.

Content Drought

This was covered on Reddit a few days ago, its an interesting read.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/49rr7j/if_you_dont_raid_and_dont_pvp_then_you_havent/

I personally do not like having to use reddit, but its far less censored than these forums, and people on there tend to beable to actually give an opinion without the PR censor team showing up.

Anet dev team are also a lot more active on reddit, if a topic is highly discussed its more likely to get a reply from a dev.

There is a good topic on raids on reddit too, and why people don’t do them, which is a topic you just cannot have on these forums, give it a read.

only bored

You are not the only person that is bored, its echo’d across the game, bar from a few groups of people,

I took a month off from this game, and came back today, figured id go check out the HoT maps, WHAM all of them dead, followed by WvW which is still dead, the list goes on, long story I logged out, the game is now officially boring, I have no reason at all, to recommend this game to any of my friends/ family, there are just better games where the developers are rolling content into them,

For all those who say well GW2 is a free to play game you can come and go as you like, im fairly sure that Anet do not want a game that people remember as a OMG its so boring just log in for 5 mins and log out as there is nothing to do,

Its pretty clear from that "AMA "(we’ll call it damage limitation which usually happens when a high level dev leaves) that they have no idea what way they want the game to go, they push things out and when they don’t work they have no back up plan, Its like they hope and pray that it will resolve itself if they ignore it long enough,

There is no one at Anet that would put there job on the line and say they can fix WvW, because lets face it, it doesn’t take a programmer to see a dead format, the nail was 100% well and truly hammered into that,

Follow that up by taking there little pet project sPvP e-Sports, season 2 is a disaster just go read the sPvP forums, and there reply to it was, yea we know, we will look into it for season 3, LOL REALLY, your game formats are losing players everyday and you want to fix it in 3 months,

The question shouldn’t be, are there other games out there you can be playing, the question is more, is this game even going to be worth coming back to, because lets face it with so many groups of players being ignored now, why would they want to come back, sadly GW is slipping into oblivion and all but the ultra hardcore fans can see it, ( or maybe they can see it but don’t want to believe it )

Are raids good or bad for MMOs

I have no problem with raids (long as they never required or become the only new PvE content) its only bad imo if it becomes the main/only way to progress.

You mean like Legendary Armor?

What would you like to have in expac 2?

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

More like the GW1 expansion. And to a place that is familiar to the first game. People want to go to elona or cantha, make it happen and stop screwing around in that jungle.

This,

The next expac needs to be a near full game on its own, a few maps with locked content behind a wall of grinding will not cut it, a lot of people bought HoT on good faith thinking they where getting more than they did, the game content has since dwindled down to nothing, all 4 maps where empty today ( and I haven’t logged in for a month ) WvW is dead, sPvP is struggling,

But in saying all that, apparently some players and the devs are playing a completely different game, as some think there is nothing wrong, so who knows,

Next expac will probably be 3 or 4 maps in the crystal desert, I think the time for Elona/Cantha has long since gone.

Crashing every 30 mins

If you cannot download the x64 client, then all you can do is lower your settings until the crashing stops, I believe anet where looking at ways to reduce the crashing on 32bit OS.

The OOM error has been around since before launch, the beta’s also had the same problem.
