Guild Wars 2

yes they can and the answers are these :
.
.

1. They can “Marry” one Eu server with one NA server and players inside these two servers can choose to play in their home server or to the other server . this can used special in wwww season 2 period where the pve players want to accomplish the achievements and ALL servers suffering from queues in primetime
2. If the “marriage” in wwww season 2 period is between one “strong” web server and one “weak” www server i think nobody will sufferring from big queues in primetime , because the strong server population will fill the empty and weak servers.maybe someone says : "why i should go to play to other server " , the answer is : because in wwww season 2 the result will calculated from both servers
3. and now the big boring home borderlands . one option is the redesign the maps but i think is not very easy for devs. so they must find one option that help “weak” servers in south scouting (the alarm from outnumbered buff is broken . first you loose the T3 garrison and then you have report from outnumbered buff ) to have more time waypoint in their garrison ( the waypoint eliminate the boring map feeling ).the solution is two options a) when someone capture the garrison he will have waypoint (enemy or ally) and b) garrison will have immune if the two towers left and right captured by the server that have garrison.

The questions that suffers hundred of players in www are these :
.
.

1. Can somehow Anet fix the late night / early morning problem for most of EU servers (i don’t know if NA have problem)?
2. Can somehow Anet fix the queue problem for the high populate servers ?
3. Can somehow Anet fix the big boring home borderlands ? ( the time to run from the north-est camp to south-est camp in home borderlands is the double compared to run the same way in EB )

p.s. i am doing these questions only to express my (and all of my friends) feelings when we are loosing our T3 garrison that we have upgraded and defended when we were online , and we are loosing it because we just logged off. this reason to loose something is silly and it is out of any game mechanism and theory , and ofcourse the big queue times that we had at the first 3 weeks of www seasson 1 in our server in prime-time.

in a game that promoted as player friendly like gw2 all mechanisms should support this type and if someone come and and say : "hey man www is sandbox " , i will answer that in real life in our home when we are sleeping we have activated the alarm system or we have take a wild dog to protect us

I think the change to spvp is more to bring it in line with the rest of the game. As it stands spvp is a stand alone game onto itself with no connection to the rest of the game in ant meaningful way. Changing spvp to at least reward armor skins is a very good way to connect it to the game as a whole and should help attract more people to try it out. Meaning I think the changes to spvp have little to do with any thing related to wvw or rewards from the game.

i fully agree with these words. spvp is a stand alone game and i have proposed in the past ( https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/One-million-suggestion/first#post3268506 ) to be free for all ( like LoL ) and returned to a big advertised tool for the game

WvWvW is not pvp or pve game . it is pvpve with one of the best sieges in mmos sandbox game

Grotesque.6479:

….

Q4: Would ArenaNet have any plans on supporting the GvG scene in general after the release of the map? Such as supporting Teams, building features for competing GvG Teams?
….

….

4) We’ve stated that our current goals are to support WvW. Guild vs. Guild is an intriguing game mode, but one that we currently have no plans to support. The WvW team is focused on WvW. If we decided to build GvG, there will be a team that is in charge of that game mode, but it will not be the WvW team.
…

i propose when you start think about GvG to implement with the philosophy of that the servers guilds will be part of server and not an individual and separated part of the server .

in aurora glade has passed most of the stronger guilds in europeans servers and sorry in what i will say now …nobody cares for those that have left aurora glade or ( this is going to hurt harder ) nobody cares in our server what they are doing when they are fighting our current enemies .

so , with few words. find the golden solution and make the guilds the “Local Heroes” in their server , guilds that all want to be part of them ….

void success {
if gamemode (pay to win )
then ( will die )
return value
}

p.s. in this function there is no any else

i agree with OP .

the heavy armor sets in Gem Store are awful for human males (i can say most of the heavy for humans are awful , but what ever ). the only armor set there i liked is the medium krytan for my charr thief that i will buy it when he goes 80 and i can not find a better one or the same.

p.s. most of the players that i know want a rune/sigil extractor and they will use any gems for this tool …. but, wait we have keys to buy :p

First of all i will make it clear that the game is going fine until now , but i think that you missed a big part off the bill to play ( aka b2p ) system .

to be successfully the b2p system in a game the game must grow in time and not remain in the same position for years.

until now i am seeing that when you measure some population drops you are opening the free trial to involve new players in the game. this is good for a company that not take big risks and remains in the current position in their profits.

but there are some parts in the game that need “more love” aka money and developers like new areas that after a year the game not have one announce ….

this creates a negative feeling to the old players and you must do something for that asap … most of the people that i know and have stopped the game is because there are no new pve areas to explore .

i understand that this need bigger studio , human resources and money but if you don’t want see gw2 be empty soon you must find the easier and cheaper way to grow up gw2 .

my idea is very simple and i think it will pleasure a lot the spvp players.

make spvp always free to play

i think that technically is possible and easy without big investments with the current system you have implemented spvp because it is total separated ( different instances ) from the other game and it is like a different game in the game ( pvp armors /weapons only used in spvp , different traits) . with a few words ….

make a LOL inside gw2

you will see that a big part of these free to play players that use gw2 only in spvp mode will buy the game at the end, to start explore tyria ( the only area that they can play while they are in free mode would be the spvp area ) and play in www and this will make gw2 bigger and of course will bring the big updates sooner, something that will satisfy the old players too

p.s. when you reach the first million , send me a legendary weapon please :p

i hope we have strong enemies for aurora glade .

nothing is better from a good enemy

if prioritize is working as intended then i full support this change .

also it helps the roaming guilds to do better parties setups and not affected by roamers out of guilds.

my opinion is that this change is to the right direction in www fights

p.s. i also love the fix of the guardian healing signet . so far i reverse with my guardian a stonemist mega blob fight by resurrecting the lord

Colly.4073:

Is Anet actually listening?
Yes to whatever NCSoft tells them

……

I just LOST my Last Hope

styx.7294:

What blob problem?

agree , there is not any serious blob problem ….

i said it before there two real problems in www . 1st is the sort time for resurrect and 2nd is the extremely long character titles .

come on devs , decide a unique acronym for each server and put this , not all the name. eXample : Aurora Glade = AG. people most of the times give false infos for enemies numbers

enjoy

http://youtu.be/iAXrCczZ7ig

very cool title to wasted in an easy achievemnt or …. supply mastering

they are not listening because they are reading !

/joke mode (not game mode ) off

on topic .

i have suggest in an other thread that they must speak first in what changes theya re ready to do to take feedback and thoughts from players. until now i am seeing only suggestions from players ( in suggestion forum ) and i don’t know where the game is going because i see dialogs from players and some times are coming things that already suggested from us and devs delivering them in wrong way

if devs dramatically increase the resurrect time ( from downed too ) in combat mode anyone in a zerg should have no change to survive against a good 10 men ( or women ) party

Kaamau.5341:

I just would like people to keep in mind- While The GvG community is a minority, those that are directly or even indirectly opposing it is also a minority. Most people don’t really care.

minority ? bull – kitten ( i wrote kitten but you know what i mean )

if you can say minority the 26.000 videos in youtube i really don’t know what means minority !

before a week ( before bloodlust patch ) in Saturday night the AG teampeak server crashed twice because we hit the 512 slots , same time today i saw 50 players ….

this is the minority now

Chris Whiteside.6102:

Hi All,

I wanted to comment about the incident that happened recently in-game, surrounding some negative community interaction from a member of the ArenaNet staff.

Simply put a big mistake was made by one of our employees, for which he is both very upset and sorry. He allowed his personal feelings to affect his interactions in-game whilst representing ArenaNet, and this is absolutely unacceptable.

Like all players, we are human, and all have our opinions on the game. However these opinions should never disrupt other player’s enjoyment of the things they love. On top of this we have worked very hard to create a community that is respectful to one another, and for this behavior to have occurred while a developer is representing ArenaNet is doubly saddening.

We all cherish the opportunity to play with the community, and we absolutely rely on you all for in game feedback, and personally I hope that this incident does not hamper what has so far been an amazing relationship and opportunity for us all.

I would therefore like to sincerely apologize for this behavior on behalf of our staff member. We are taking steps to address the incident and for his part, he is very sorry for behaving in the manner in which he did.

Regarding Guild game play, please understand it is extremely important to us, and an area we are paying a great deal of attention to, so please do be patient with the developers who work tirelessly on making WvW the very best it can be, they have a great deal of respect for you all, and value your collaboration in pushing this pioneering mode forward. Also please note this member of staff is not on the WvW team.

Finally, World vs. World is a free-for-all battle. Our expectation of staff is that they should be playing, and enjoying the game like everyone else, and not being disruptive or disrespectful to others.

And in this spirit I hope we can move forward, and continue, what has up to this point, been a great community/developer relationship. One that I know our team massively values and loves.

Thank you all for your time and i hope you have a lovely weekend,

ChrisW

first of all you are not him but someone else …. and your WvWvW team violate my game play with bloodlust buff and their thoughts about WvWvW game and how it should be …

second day without log and i (and many with me) will wait for your response ..From now on i will not accept further more explanations about how this happened but i will accept actions..

So less talking and more action .Listen to the people, hear what they have to say, pay attention to what they say because from what i see you don’t pay attention to anything..

Phent.9350:

Please dear Anet listen to your community. Vast majority don’t want/like the bloodlust buff at its current form. What is more the most kitten ed ppl from my guild, are ppl who liked roaming. Some says that bloodlust gives space to small groups, but its utterly oposite, I’ve been troling my PU mesmer with 3 stacks of bloodlust, 8 ppl at once, half of them get bored and go away the rest I’ve stomped(sure they were poor players and some of them weren’t full 80, but it’s not the point). Its not fun at all, it is irritating, frustrating etc. People who roam likes, small but intense battles with minimal level of fairness and balance, bloodlust destroys it to the grund,

this …

i started thinking about this bloodlust buff when in a big fight i saw in my wirl ( guardian not full berseker ) 1000+ , 2500+ , 4500+ , and final 6950 damage on players and i said …..wtf ? and i opened my hero panel and i saw that my attack have changed from 3050 up to 3680 !!!

this was not a result by my efforts but someone else captured these ruins and i felt like i leeched his effort ….

i want my victories remained mine not someone else

SteepledHat.1345:

Apparently, yes.

http://i.imgur.com/BA20tY6.jpg

i will comment it .

1. most of the people that decided to stop they will never post anything or the reasons in forums why they did it . most of the times they pass to other games ….. so simple

2. nobody said that mmo provides balances …. the opposite . people creating and upgrading by time their character to be more powerfull than others . but there is a big difference between fairly UN-balanced and from the feeling of balance . until bloodlust most of the people that i spoke with them said me that they feel that gw2 had the best balanced chars ( expect ofc the main mesmser clone :p ) today this feeling just lost ….

3. when i heard that characters will have buff stats in borderlands the first think was : the end of custom gvg .

it killed it

it is not rocket sience if you are a player ….if you are not a player speak with a player and you will learn mister devon before goes live something and take feedback and thoughts

4. i say it now . we have a problem . i have a very big list of players that have stopped yesterday but i dont know how someone can recover the damage . most of people that i spoke today said me : give me a brake i am bored of these non sense changes

i think i have better idea from karma/ expl rewards on players because of farming exploit possibility

these ruin captures should affect only npcs ingame so they can be the starting point for a success capture or defend.

garrison has 2 top ruins near it .

if defenders control the 1 or the 2 ruins in the top garrison will have more powerful canons / oils ( structure siege ) / guards /npcs (not the players sieges) . if they have 2 of 2 top ruins the garrison will have much hp / toughness canons / oils ( structure siege ) / guards /npcs. (not the players sieges).

so the attackers must control the two top ruins with two different parties while they are attacking and defenders have a change to brake or a change for better defense against enemy’s attack ( special if the attackers bring a big zerg and thay have small group ) to stop them by fighting side by side with ally npc.

the same for left and right towers of garrison .

now the left and right keeps .

these two keeps have 1 ruin near them and one ruin shared in the south . the south ruins should be a baladeur when defenders loose it the two keeps npcs/keeps sieges hp/toughness (not the players sieges) will loose the hp /defend increase and if they loose the near them ruin the npc / sieges will loose the attack buff

these two buffs ( might and defend ) should be have a decay time when ruin change side of a small time 2 – 5 minutes, so the defenders should have some time to check what is happening.

ofc these buffs will not like supervisors buffs where nobody can attack it but increase of stats like the current bloodlust buff stats , but seprated in might and to defend buff

also the capture of a ruin should give some wxp , not much but some

this way

1. a zerg or a skilled guild team can still avoid or ignore to capture these ruins ( for no alert the defenders ) but defenders have an extra weapon against zergs or they win some time for better organize of the defending.

and

2. ofc nobody will say that the other side won because they have better stats

and

3. ofc gvg will remain UN-affected.

Corrections of existing system

1. the capture of ruins should not have auto decay time . they should be like spvp capture points . you capture it and it is yours until someone else captures it

2. eternal’s npc/sieges should no affect at all from this buff.eternal was the favorite map for all because it is small and funny . the problem was the big / boring servers borderlands

p.s. sorry for my English , it is not my nature language

Shakki.3219:

I love the Bloodlust Update, keep the nice work up. Humankind will always complain (look at Tequatl)

tequatl is pve boss that was fantastic update and to the right direction of pve end game ,but bloodlust is a pvp feature that ruins the mass pvp in www end game ….

i can not find a shared point to compare these two different things

i saw tortanic because a company removed a feature ( pvp planet = ilum ) , now same story is happening from a nonsense buff that destroys character balance ( better name it the feeling of balance ).

i think there is something behind this story and we will read it soon in www web not our www :p

Torasan.6029:

TheAmpca.1753:

Why don’t we get WXP for capping/defending these.

It’s far too easy to flip them just to farm WXP. One thing that is coming soon is an addition of WXP consumables to the player loot bags, which should make a pretty big addition to the amount of WXP you get from being in the area, assuming you are killing players. As to adding it to the general capping of the points, we’ll have to consider that pretty carefully before we make any changes.

That was awfully good of ANET to respond so quickly to one player’s concerns over easily aquired wxp.

Now can we get a full responce from ANET to the numererous points regarding the complete mess that’s been made of balance in wvw?

Why has ANET so brazzenly attempted to destroy the thriving and growing GvG communitty?

Can ANET please consider the implication this has on wvw ‘guilds’ in ‘Guild Wars’? For most GvGers their GvGs are the highlight of their week and the reason they continue to play wvw & ultimately GW2. I honestly fear many of the most regular wvw players (who also GvG) may move on to alternative games.

Please ANET change the buff to anything but stats!

WE DON’T WANT UNBALANCED COMBAT IN WVW.

true ….

to day i don’t want login to www map to help my server as a PUG ( never was in a pvp guild ) because i don’t know what i will face ….

good luck with bloodlust , my yesterday’s “blood” was the last in www

good luck devon with this buff

a 131 rank and always pug ( not roaming or burst ) guardian ….. i was always played in www to help my server , not for points .

today in eb we informed that one of our serevr’s pvp guild disbanded because of bloodlust.

the reason is that it ruined the custom gvg that had in south area in borderlands.

is this difficult to neutralize the south area from this buff to allow the pvp guilds continue have fun in their way ?

i think it is the easiest fix , ofc, if you want it to fix it

i want to also give one general advice to www game designers .

i am ok about changes , i want changes , all we want changes ,but these changes so far drastically change the game and you are creating bad feedback in your player base ……

this is not very wise you know !

do small changes and all will have time to deal with the changes and you will have time to correct the problems that are creating

It’s like 1 hour i’m trying to log into the game, i’ve received the confirmation email only once in this hour, and when i tried to use the link, he told me “Bad Request”. Any way i can resolve all this and log in?

Edit. Just received the second email, with the time of 1 hour ago, so it’s one of the first attempt i’ve done that arrive only now

Can you tell me the time stamp on that email, and time zone? I’m trying to determine if there is an issue on the part of our e-mail provider.

Thanks.

i had authentication problems as others had with email and

i saw TX. US ( an ip that i dont want name it ) location in security tab > Current Logins in my account and i removed it because i am playing from europe …..

it is you or there is a problem with my account security?

prolly not. the TX.US login is likely your presence here on the forum. It is a known glitch. The forum account is the same as your game account, so the forum checks you on the login server and that is showing there (and the forum server is in Texas). Off course Texas is big so you can never be 100% sure.

i tested by login first in game and then in forums and nothing wrong with ip . it is the same from my location .

i hope it is a bug that appears under specific conditions and not any hack , because i will disappointed if my account hacked for the first time in my 20 years Internet experience .

update : i just read this post https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/account/My-recent-connections/first#post2840473 where name the ip . was the same . so glitch ! thank you for the useful infos !

That is just odd.

Have you ran the game with the -repair option and/or deleted your file located in My Documents\Guild Wars 2\local.dat?

this

everyone who want to test how close is the server that currently is playing ( you can guest to other servers 2 times in a day for this test if you want search for better server ) .

then go to a different server and you can use the /ip command in chat to know in what ip is your current server ( home or guest )

after this you can use the tracert and ping commands in command prompt.

in windows search type: cmd and in the black console type :

tracert [ip of the serverfrom the chat command : /ip]

ping [same ip]

Without the [] and they are two different commands .

lower milliseconds (ms ) in ping and lower hops in tracert are the best server for you

folow these tech support team instructions and run the game advisor ( not any accountn name or serial code or any personal information ) :

and post your log please

external antenna may help but as Grimmysaur.7429 and TinkTinkPOOF.9201 said but it will not save router’s low power wifi ap from disconnects .

there are many routers that you can change how much power the router ap use but i don’t know if it is recommended for your good health ( i don’t know and i never did it ) to change it to full power inside a home .

maybe the better solution is a big antenna cable from your wifi to a position where the normal antenna have str8 and clear view with router

ok i just read this article that this vga needs 339 watts in full load

source : http://www.techspot.com/review/496-amd-radeon-7950/page9.html

so the calculations now is in full load both :

1 . not oc-ed cpu + gpu = 504 watts

2. oc-ed ( 1,3v + 4.0ghz ) cpu + gpu = 611 watts

good luck OP with the 650 watt psu . when you will try other games that need 100% of the cpu and the 100% of gpu like crysis 3 then the luck and the GOD will be the only help

crysis 3 i5 3570k cpu usage ( cry-i5 )
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/366455-28-3570k-bottlenecking-crysis
i5 3570k vs i5 4670k
http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i5-4670K-vs-Intel-Core-i5-3570K

and
crysis 3 fps results with hd radeon 7950
http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/crysis_3_graphics_performance_review_benchmark,7.html

when you updated the drivers did you total uninstall and after retart the pc and installed the new one or just upgrade ?

also many antivirus don’t allow some changes in system files . better disable it when you install / uninstall drivers

and of course the OP will go many times in www or a zerg farm trains and he will play for hours every day and he will want to have open browser in the background to read the wiki and his facebook and fraps to video the game and a camera to stream it in twitch and a smart-phone plugged in a usb and a printer/scanner or any usb device that has !!!!

now the table 2 and 3 .

we are see that in a gold psu ( like OP post ) for 250 watt it loose 28 watt . his cpu has average TDP 87 watt in idle and average 150 watt in full load ( source : http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2013/06/12/intel-core-i5-4670k-haswell-cpu-review/6 ) . the vga has 250 watt in full load .

someone can say . there is no problem at all. it will have 313 watt spare . yes if a pc had only a cpu and a gpu . a pc has more parts that need power too . how can we calculate them ?

there is a site that many who build pc for people using it to calculate the psu for each
and now the calculation ….

the link is this : http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp

if we put all the parts that OP want to start , it returns a 650 watt , but if someone oc it to 1,3 volt and 4.0 ghz that his cpu can reach easy the extra wattage are 107 watts .

so for a our situation we have a cpu oc-ed + gpu =~ 450 watt and the 650 watt gold psu give in the first year the pc a whole ~200 watt for everything else ( motherborad , dvdrom , wifi card , usb devices etc … )

So ,the question is …. Author . how often you want to buy new psu ? because if you want next years buy a new one it is ok to go for a 650 watt , but if you want to stay with it for a long time ( in 3-4 years you will want change the vga or buy one more 7950 for sli ) ….. take a bigger psu because of aging .in the end of the psu calculator page has two more facts about psu.

• ** Recommended UPS rating is based on the selected components only and does not include monitor, printer or any other electronic devices that are not a part of the eXtreme Power Supply Calculator.

• 4 Electrolytic capacitor aging. When used heavily or over an extended period of time (1+ years) a power supply will slowly lose some of its initial wattage capacity. We recommend you add 10-20% if you plan to keep your PSU for more than 1 year, or 20-30% for 24/7 usage and 1+ years.

others said don’t buy extra audio card and that i dont know what i am saying because the new new i5 has enough power …blah , blah ….

i will say only these three and i will close it here.:

• i am sure you are not read my thread with photos where i am playing the game in a 7 years AMD cpu without lag inside full zergs in www https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/7-years-old-PC-without-LAG-in-WWW-1080p/first#post2636642 .

read it and explain how a 7 years AMD cpu can play the game without any lag and with decent fps and perform ( has the same fps ) when i am playing with -nosound line argument or with dedicated audio card and dropped with lag spikes when i am playing it with onboard

• the new ps4 will have dedicated audio chip … they are fool and you are right …. “sure”

• i have a friend that has in a case level 10 a small “beast” , i7 ,oced , 16 gb ram , 2 sli 670 and he bought a new creative audio card. he is playing an elemental and now he is listening the thieves footsteps behind him …….. with the old pci card or the onboard he didn’t listen anything like that ….

so the new dedicated audio pci card opened new in-game features and this is valuable for a gamer

i am seeing we have “serious” debate here ….

at OP . you must decide what type of pc you are going build . an office desk pc or a gamer pc ?

since you will use a cpu and a mobo that are both unlocked for over-clocking i am sure the first thing that you will do inside the first month is to go to bios and start pushing further you cpu ….

maybe it will not in the first month but for sure it will be in the first year when you will try a game and you will see that you can not play it without lag in medium settings !

this moment is when you will need a real good cooler fan for the cpu .

so i agree with Behellagh.1468 that propose a better cpu fan ( no need to be a water-cooler , there are some normal fan that someone can over-clock the cpu and he will have acceptable temperatures and without problems . check this disxussion : http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/271218-29-overclock-2500k-0ghz-stock-cooling .

and now to psu … first of all the psu facts

1. the psu effeciency of each psu is not 100% . this is why each psu has a label ( platinum , gold , bronze etc ) . what that means ? read it you and everyone that want to learn something new . everything explained in this excellent article from the corsair’s site http://www.corsair.com/en/blog/80-plus-platinum-what-does-it-mean-and-what-is-the-benefit-to-me .
from this article 3 tables :
[pre]

table 1. wattage in different usage .

Mode Hours Wattage
Power Saver Mode 2 hours 50W
Sleep Mode 4 hours 5W
Normal usage 8 hours 200W
Gaming 2 hours 600W

table 2 .Below are the different 80 PLUS levels and the efficiency requirements for each level:

20% load 50% load 100% load
80 PLUS 80% 80% 80%
80 PLUS Bronze 82% 85% 82%
80 PLUS Silver 85% 88% 85%
80 PLUS Gold 87% 90% 87%
80 PLUS Platinum 90% 92% 89%

table 3 . In the following example, we’re going to look at a 500W power supply putting out 250W (50%) of its power:

DC Output AC Input Efficiency Watts Lost
PSU that meets
minimum ATX
efficiency requirements 250W 416W 60% 166W
Typical low cost PSU 250W 357W 70% 107W
80 PLUS PSU 250W 312.5W 80% 62.5W
80 PLUS Bronze PSU 250W 294W 85% 44W
80 PLUS Silver PSU 250W 284W 88% 34W
80 PLUS Gold PSU 250W 278W 90% 28W
80 PLUS Platinum 250W 272W 92% 22W

so from table 1 . a psu is not a lamp that you turn it on an consume standard watts … it is floating from the pc usage ;)

and what usage will be yours ? only office and browsing in facebook ? NO NO ….GAMING !!!

end part 1 , > part 2 below

GB Panther.8527:

All my drivers are up to date. and Ambient Occlusion is no where to be seen on my CCC.
the updates I have done have made no difference.

I really don’t know what to do.

your pc is extremely old for the game .

but ,the last version of your vga’s drivers is some days newer than yours in dxdiag log file.

you are not loosing something if you try them ……

you can find them in this amd link : http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Legacy/Pages/radeonaiw_xp.aspx

but if the new drivers can not solve the issue since you have Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 3.00GHz (2 CPUs) and from this link : http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/guild-wars-2-performance-benchmark,3268-7.html we can see a Pentium dual core can have good fps , before buy a new pc try to find a better vga to try the game ( ati or nvidia no matters , but if you find nvidia you must reinstall windows )

also you have 3 gb ram that is enough for the game

@GB Panther.8527

follow the support teams’s instructions in this link ( https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Are-your-drivers-up-to-date/first#post3965
) how to easily update the drivers ( cpu and vga ) .

also to install the game profiles correct many issues in amd/ati vga ( after the update of the vga driver )

restart the router and do a diagnose to the network interface ( it cleans and refresh all netwrok settings ) if win vista and later or repair for xp

@ender.2934

the client crashed use the ( -repair ) line argument to start the game : http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Command_line_arguments

@Vagrant.7206

are you using this ? http://www.kainy.com/whatiskainy.html if so i think better ask to their forums too

something prevent the game to start normally .what antivirus/antispyware you are using ?

install the apps profiles from here http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/pages/crossfirex-app-profiles.aspx

and check if the issue resolved

the gw2 always open in your default ( primary ) screen . go to your vga panel and choose the panel that you want play the game as primary .

the identify button numbers the screens ( right on empty desktop > screen resolution > identify )
1 is the primary

read the tech’s team advise here : https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/How-to-Submit-a-Technical-Support-Ticket-2/first#post3957

warning :

skip the in-game infos that you must not give in public forums for any reason at all and follow the advice for game advisor report

do you start the game as admin ?

right click on the shortcut and choose [run as administrator]

is the client starts auto repair after crash ? i think they added repair tool after the last patch

yes this rig will play the game but i have some advices .

1. if you can effort to buy a 750 watt psu it will be better because you will add to pc more hard drives than one and an external wifi that needs extra power. also in 2nd paragraph i suggest to buy a audio pci card that needs power too

2. also you don’t have include a pci audio card . if you don’t want have any problems in- game ( special in zerg fights ) i suggest to include an extra audio card in you busket . you can read in my thread how much important is the audio for this game ( and all games ) https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/7-years-old-PC-without-LAG-in-WWW-1080p/first#post2636642

for me is better for this game to buy a cheaper vga and buy an extra pci audio card than stay with the on-board audio chip . your i5 will perform better

3. take a look in all of my advices https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/7-years-old-PC-without-LAG-in-WWW-1080p/first#post2640737

4. playing with a wifi connection is not recommended but i have tested and i can say that with a good wifi card and good connection with the router the game goes well but i see in comments in newegg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833704133) that people had problems with the small distance of this wifi card. if you are close to router it is ok , but if you are far away from it be sure take a different wifi card

10 for inscription 10 for blade and hilt

thank you that posted this image . this proves my words .

right now to craft the new weapons the pile of crystalline dust is the only material ( until now , if devs changed i dont know ) thakittens drop is not standard and really rare .

source : http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Pile_of_Crystalline_Dust

all other materials someone can gathering or farm them ….

Play world boss events, salvage guaranteed rares, salvage ectos. BOOM crystalline dust farmed.

You’re welcome.

personal i didn’t knew this method and i am reading now in wiki http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Glob_of_Ectoplasm that this method needs research.
it says 1-5 dust but it is every time you salvage it . with what tool ? the rare or the exotic ?

give us some statistical results of this salvage method please.

the loot of dust is 100% success or it has a percentage ?

p.s. some market info . ecto costs 30 silver now . yesterday the prise was 38 silver

Yay I stayed awake all night to get the “Nail Clipper” achievement!
I’m the best Nail Clipper in the world, yay. Now i can do whatever work I like, I am superior.
I AM THE ALPHA NERD!

two hours took me to hit 500 and not all night as you and it was my fault because i didn’t calculated correct how much t6 mats needed every exotic that i crafted . i had bought stacks of t6 mats before patch and i tried to play a bit with market before buy every new t6 . i had watch the dev’s twicth video where she explained everything .

if you don’t follow guild wars 2 in twicth.tv , i advice you to start from today . you are not gonna loose these small secrets .

so visit the Guildwars 2 Official twicth channel and follow them to email you every time they upload a new video

but explain me please . why you are alpha nerd ? it is ok to steal some time from your life to success something

Full RNG should not used in a mmo mechanism .

if mmos simulating the real life i really dont know a single man that had win a lotto and he continues play lotto to win.

also in a full rng system the only winner is the player that always is looking to find ways to exploit the loot system .

so the full rng system is pushing ALL ( most of them ) players to search for easy farming methods or exploits or make them avoid to use the ingame mechanisms because they know that they have no any change to win a precursor for example

all these are not creating a healthy mmo community

the real fun is starting after 450

after 450 you have to choose , between the cost of 100 gold for mats and a procedure lasting in two hours or to wait a month + to re-craft once a day the two 450 inscriptions .

if they didn’t had remove our previous learned exotics all ppls should follow only the second procedure

black screen in games many times is coming from temperatures or dust . is your pc cleaned by the dust . is the cpu / gpu fan continues running or it stopped ?

open the case and check what is happening on cpu and gpu before the crash
