Guild Wars 2

Here is a picture of my Temp’s and Fan’s(that are listed) while mostly Idle. (Youtube and GW2 forums are open no other upfront programs)
Could it by chance by the Harddrive and Radiator causing this problem?

Okay then, lastly my PC runs 24-31C min-Max, I am assuming this is good? (when playing a game).
I believe I can manually change the PCI and Hardrive fan and perhaps the system fan. Or leave them all on auto.

Hmm okay, Is there a way to quiet that radiator down to quiet it?
(I changed the Turbo boost to my i7 2600K from 34 across the four cores to 34 36 37 39) I was told this is the “overclock” built in as the turbo boost, but it boosts it when it is needed opposed to all the time? I was also told GW2 doesn’t really use the 3rd and fourth core of CPU, should I then make its higher for the first and second cores?

If this is incorrect could you perhaps steer me into the correct direction?
And based on the pictures does everything look right to you? I usually keep it clean but those pictures make it look kinda dirty. Going to give it a cleaning tmrw.

Pic 2/2 of Inside my PC.

My GPU does not look like that. I do have a headset and imo I have yet to find a headset that actually cancels out most sounds. I have the Corsair Vengeance 2100 gaming headset.
my 7970 is from XFX if that helps too.
Could you perhaps guide me to how to change the settings you mention in CCC?
Also would that mean the graphics would go down? if so I am fine with that, depending on how low they have dropped.
Attached is pic 1/2 of my PC inside.

So while playing games, mostly GW2, my PC decides it no longer wishes to be a PC but instead be a Jet Engine(slightly exaggerated). So I was wondering what could done to quiet it down? It’s relatively clean inside; as it is not hard to open the case up.
Specs:
i7 2600K @3.4
Radeon HD 7970 3GB
16GB (8 x2) 1600 RAM
2TB( 1 x2) HDD
256 SSD
1920×1080 monitor 60hz.

Will Overclocking the CPU,RAM or GPU make the pc louder or quieter?

Hattoni.8597:

Hello,

As a new GW 2 player it’s obvious I didn’t know which class to pick. I’ve read tons of posts to make a choice. The think that suprised me is that none of the class is good. Literally, every class is said to be the weakest.

Here is what I’ve read:

Engineer – flexible, but has low dmg, low survivability, can heal and this massive healing is the only thing, why you would pick him. Weak in dungeons, quite good in 1 vs 1, not that good in any other pvp.

Warrior – said, to be the only viable class, but I’ve read that warrior is free kill for any other class. Bad in any pvp, quite good for speedruns. Low dmg, not so good survivability, quite mobile.

Ranger – weak in anything, not taken to dungeons, in pvp pets are useless, so generally you should avoid this class.

Elementalist – except dealing damage it has nothing to offer. I’ve heared ele has good healing skills, but still – it’s squishy as hell.

Thief – damage dealer, very low survivability, which makes him very hard to master in both pvp and pve. In pvp he’s more like troll class, I mean – you can’t take him seriously.

Guardian – the only class I found useful. I mean, every dungeon team should have at least one quardian. In pvp if you don’t make bunker quardian you will die faster than warrior and anything but bunker is a trash, so generally guardian is a trash.

Necromancer – in pve it’s one of the worst classes. In pvp he might be good, but has literally no mobility and it’s not that hard to kill him, even if necro has high hp pool.

Mesmer – taken to dungeons only because of time warp, then he can die.. In pvp he might be good (in anything but duels mesmer is not viable), but the skill cap is that high, that noone reached it yet.

Don’t take it seriously, it’s only a summary of what I’ve read and I’m quite new to GW 2.

My question is if someone could give me some tips which class should I pick. I’m pvp oriented player, so I’ll go through pve as fast as possible only to make gear and then I can spend my time in pvp. The problem is there is literally no pvp class, every class is weak.

I didn’t make this topic to complain, but I just want to know which class excels where. I’m confused, that’s all.

Thanks for any help, sorry for my poor english.

Greetings!

Engineer: Deals Hybrid Damage, not in the best spot but A-net is working on that. useful in Dungeons if you have the right build. Good in WvW as you can easily 1v5 or so as an Engineer. OVERALL: right build makes the class good.

Elementalist: Spike Dmg then die, or support and be overshadowed. Very useful in dungeons and world bosses for Conjure weapons and AoE.

Warrior: A-Net’s favorite class, will be “best” class because of that. Good Damage, decent survivability, Great Mobility. Good in PvE for solo, okay in PvP and WvW.

Necro: No real Niche in the game imo, Power build is out shined, Condi dmg not as good as a power build of another class. Okay in dungeons but will be on the lower list.

Guardian: Nice Key farmer, fun to play, always picked for dungeon unless it is with Elitist Zerkers. Good in PvE okay in PvP and okay for WvW

Mesmer: Not to fun to level solo. Good PvP, Good WvW with small group(speed buff mostly). Brought to dungeons for Portal TW and some dmg.

Thief: High burst damage, decent survivability with build. Great Mobility with builds.
Annoying in PvP and WvW, okay in PvE(need to go power and defense to solo)

Ranger: Fun to play PvE, bad in PvP from what I heard. okay in WvW Decent damage, 40/60 – 60/40 damage split with certain builds for Player and Pet. Not really wanted in dungeons as they are mostly well.. RANGERS. and most dungeon experience is stack into a tight corner and spam melee weapons.

These are my opinion and views of the classes. Please take it with a grain of salt, as I am purely a PvE player.

One will use the versatile agony, while the other slot is for real agony (the drops you get in Fractals)

But the fact you bothered putting it there is the problem within itself. accept tips as they are given, not reference wanting a tip.

PS gets harder to solo past that point ‘roughly’ due to the travel to Orr and Risen.

Ascended things are Account bound, But some things I believe require level 80.

Once a day for Jumping Puzzles.

Guardians are suppose to be slow moving utility generators honestly.
Elementalists are OHK’s for themselves and the enemy.

A Room is a poor analogy. Some people PHYSICALLY cannot do it, so they pay people. My only complaint is he simply asked for money as “tip” for it. These kind of things should be a kindness of heart type of thing. Other than that fantastic idea, and I like the screenshots he posted.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Sunrise
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Chorben%27s_Claymore

The Stats for Ascended and Legendary are always the same, Once another Tier for Weapons come out Legendaries will also be at that new cap.

I was going to stay this was a great idea, but just the fact you said you’d want tips for this is pathetic. It is not hard to go into your own wardrobe and do this yourself. But then again the idea itself is fine, but don’t expect or even consider payment.

Thank you all for advice, I saw the other day people farming mats for the last personal story mission, is that actually viable?

Any tips at all?

Greetings all, I just used all my resources and got 500 tailor, and I will be going for 500 weaponsmith as well. I am also thinking on going for Sunrise; I made FSP for my guardian already. My questions are:
1. What is a nice way to farm T6 mats?
2. Is there any trains for events for Karma?
- If not what are the better ways for karma gain?(Just spend 660K on obi shards)
3. Is there any champ trains that still work?
4. Charged Lodestones are still “unfarmable” or has the drop rate increased?

Thank you all for your help. ^.^

^ Not necro-like, least not necroMancer.
Here is mine, feels necroish.

Title says it all. I am sure it is safe(in terms of being ban) because it doesn’t give me any advantage, but I never heard anything about this from the Dev’s themselves.

Anyone else want the old Log in screen back?
Maybe if we get enough people to say yes they will put it back.

In terms of functionality this still holds just as much possibility as our client window now.

Update: 27 March 2014
468067 – The team did not receive your attachment. Could you please try updating this ticket and sending it again? Thank you!

Okay I resent the email for the third time, I sent it to “support@guildwars2.com” If this is not the correct email could the agent filing my case send me a confirmation email so I can send a direct reply?

Well for me it was not always there but it did little under a year after the game was out, I’ve been looking for ways to fix it since and no answer.

I fail to see how this is a bad thing, it doesn’t take long to switch the gear and say you have a zerker thief but want a zerker ranger now, instead of making a new set of asc zerker armor just switch it over, but personally I don’t like account bound legendary weapons.

When ever I hit a loading screen it loads twice, the first time is about 90% of the load and the second takes about 10% of the time. Anyone who has this problem have a fix to it?

I’ve had this problem before. Try restarting your pc.

It ends 27th but at what time? late that night or early morning?

468067 should be my Ticket ID?
I’ve been getting Error 7 for 5 to 6 days now and sent a ticket in 4 days ago.
I sent in the Guild Wars Test zip they asked me to make and no reply.

EDIT: So I got the feedback email, It turns out it seems my email never went through to you guys, I’ll be resending the Zip file and hope you get it ASAP.

Can anyone tell me about the ZoS(Zealots of Shiverpeaks) Guild.

I was worried about this with my 80’s but I only have 5/16 80’s So I’m fine thankfully.

I have all three books. I have finished GoA; It’s a great book with nice facts, characters and description. I am currently trying to read SoS but it is very slow paced and I don’t have a connection with the character yet(currently ch3). Haven’t read DE yet though, can’t give opinion but I have heard its good too.
What I can say is that these books really fill the game world with atmosphere you wouldnt think about before. Like LA’s air just full of a salty breeze, the humid nights, etc.
I learned a lot about Slyvari as well from GoA as well.

Thanks for the opinion, I’m thinking NSP as I like small group/roaming.(as a mesmer)

based on my two guests, Kaineng is dead.
NSP is decent.
Checking Avil Rock and Crystal Desert tmrw.

These are free servers to transfer to, which one is better than Darkhaven?
NorthernShiverpeaks
Devona Rest,
Crystal Desert,
Ehmay Bay,
Anvil Rock,
Henge of the Devari,
Eredon Terrace, Kaineng.

I am a PvX player.

Every time I log into character I get Error 7 can cannot play.

You are correct in all matters. But the problem is it jsut seem to many people WANT to play berserkers. The only way they could solve that is remove it. OR make the game to punishing to DPS race players by adding OHK or harder mechanics than press 1.

People don’t WANT to play berserkers, people WANT to play the most efficient build. When there is no reason to bring anything other than pure damage, the gear set that offers pure damage is going to become the most efficient build.

One Hit Kills punish all gear sets equally, so they would not change the meta. You would need to increase the rate of attacks that mobs use in order to punish players who take no Toughness/Vitality. Passive defense is fairly pointless in this game primarily because active defense is more effective (you take 0 damage) and recharges fast enough to be available for each one of a boss’ telegraphed big hits. If you only have to fear the big hits, then all players have equal defense because you can mitigate all damage using player skill alone. If all players have equal defense, then adding more useless defense is useless, which is exactly why berserker gear is king.

OHKO is the norm, and the reason zerker is meta in the first place. Problem is the “tanks” also die in 1 hit, or maybe 2-3 with no ability to heal up between attacks. Better to kill everything before your dodges/blocks/blinds/invuls run out, and as a bonus the trash that couldn’t ever kill a tank dies faster too!

I proposed a simple fix which made zerkers actually have a disadvantage but far more strength then everyone else. While Tanks had more advantages over others in terms of living. Zerkers die from OHK while tank players have a “chance” to die from OHK. more tough/vital less chance to die.
People need to think, reason, and agree in order to get anything done.

I’d like to see how many servers CANNOT do this event or similar event/world bosses ie Wurm.
edit: just realized my title may be misleading.

To start it off;
DarkHaven.
We have a 10/90% chance to pass/fail events.

Yeah expect this idea these “unique snowflakes” have was the selling point to this game when it came out.. So people ARE entitled for playing how they want.

There’s an additional factor. The devs have been talking about “build diversity” as a design goal for quite some time. Required bosses that want lots of berserker gear is rather contrary to that goal.

CHIPS.6018:

So I just tried that “Kill 3 Legendary Clockworks” quest. It is nothing but a DPS test. Can we please stop having quests like these?

These quests are saying:
If you are not using berserker gear, go home.

No these “quest”, they are actually called events, are not a DPS check, they are events that encourage people to play together. The biggest problem right now is, that there are way to many “unique snowflakes” around that keep shouting “I PLAY HOW I WANT AND YOU PLAY HOW YOU WANT” which is something that just doesn’t work in a genre that is all about playing together.

Yeah expect this idea these “unique snowflakes” have was the selling point to this game when it came out.. So people ARE entitled for playing how they want.

Please Devs you must. I don’t care how its done but make it epic.

And if you want to make it about depending on us here you go. How often when scarlets minions were attacking a zone for the past 6 months or so did you stop what you were doing to go and help? How often were these invasions stopped? So based on that it can be assumed even the players didnt consider scarlet a threat and this is what happens.

/Thread
Well said.

The way I see it, people didn’t believe it would happen(npcs in game), and as Kasmere and Majory found out with us it was about to happen moments later perhaps?

Try another character but yes being a glass cannon will get you killed. Esp as a Thief.
Try a tankier class or buy another armor set.

CC Danicia.1394:

Hello all,

Please keep your feedback respectful and constructive. We do not mind if you have negative feedback, but please be constructive about giving said feedback. This includes your thread titles. Thank you.

As it Seems People will buy this if you remove or make it possible to Dye The Blue “Skin” texture.

Side Note: What do you guys think of this Armor set without Helm/Shoulders?

I think we can all agree on a few simple things.
1. Not so great
2. expansion packs please.
3. Remove Blue part or let us dye it.

title Says it all. I feel they look really dumb on males and okay on females. The Helm and Shoulders are imo what ruins the set for me.

Meadfreek.6789:

It just doesn’t make sense to me to have the central city in the game be gone forever. Lion’s Arch was already destroyed once*(hence the ruins underwater in the harbor) and they built it right back in the same spot.

It good to have one central city with all the races intermingling in a central place not too far to one side or the other for those who have to watch their travel expenses.

*I didn’t play GW1 so I’m not up the lore of what happened to the first version of LA.

When Zhiatan Brought Orr Back from underwater it flooded the first Lions Arch. Pirates and Corsairs alike rebuild it with the broken ships etc.. (hence the pirate theme of most buildings). Everyone was okay with this so no one contested it because the pirates were not hostile, This city was a trading hub between races.

I personally want it gone and over with rebuilt as a open world explore map mostly under water. Then HOPEFULLY instead of herding like sheep as this community does, They all go to each races capital or Fort Trinity. Something other than LA or just all in one area. ( Or if DoW opens up maybe there).
