Guild Wars 2

I hate that message. It removes all my bloodlust that I have and have to start from zero again on the new map. Why can’t I simply keep that if you gonna shove me to a different map?

Hi, just wondering what the cost would be to craft this with buying items from TP.
Starting from Mysterious Seed.
If anyone has or are making this backpiece, please let me know.

Just curious as some crafting things are time gated and im thinking of buying them instead. Thanks.

This is not just EU. It’s happening on US servers too! I was doing the Teq event at daily rollover on 64.25.38.161 (12am GMT 4/Nov/2014) and got disconnected twice from the event. The entire map was screaming about lag.

Average lag to the server in that time, about 2500ms. It wasn’t even so much network latency as it was server unresponsiveness. It felt like the server just wasn’t responding at all. Pings were around 200ms to 300ms, averaging 230ms latency, but the time between pressing a key and it actually registering was about 3 seconds.

This has been happening a lot lately. And its significantly worse since the September Update.

Hi, this server gives me so much grief.
There is something not right with Tequatl event on this server.
Don’t know what more evidence Arenanet needs before someone actually has a look.
Mean time, I’m just avoiding this server.

Hi, Is it possible to make the harvesting/logging/mining tools like you have done to outfits? A player buys and unlocks it for all their slot accounts. Player can then select the tool on each character he is playing instead of trying to find nearest bank to transfer to another character.

Gem store tools only, ones that we buy from vendor can be equipped by the player themselves. (just like you have armor and outfits).

Thanks Anet, waited in a map for Teq and this crap happens and event fails.

• Sydney, Australia
• 6:15 PM AEST
• Tarnished Coast
• Your server: 64.25.38.161 Massive lag spike of sometimes up to 4seconds. I can see people are either walking back, just moving doing same animation. Its like every player just got the Mesmer “Blink” skill or something, popping here and there.

Ok, im not a networks person, anyone know why line 7 is timing out? I’ve tried several traces and 7 always times out.

Direwolf.8796:

I appreciate the value of constructive feedback but the online GW2 community just seems so ungrateful and unappreciative Just think of the negative image you are portraying for new/potential players. I think more people should know how great this game really is.

If I was Anet and I read all the crap people complain about I would find it a little disheartening. So I’m posting for the first and only time to say the following:

Anet, I love this game and I think you guys have done a fantastic job. Thank you for all your hard work! Dont forget there are people that really appreciate this game and work thats gone in to it.

New & Potential players, come and give this game a shot and decide for yourself if you like it Don’t get caught up in the negativity of some people . The complainers are the loudest voices but there is a great community in this game if you give it a try.

-happy GW2 player

Thought i’d reply to your comment. I started this game in Nov 2013 and i found the game quite amazing too. I bought extra slots when they came on sale that year and was playing with 3 slots and and rest were empty. Arenanet wasn’t happy. So to kitten me it just took them 5months, in comes the April patch and now my other spare slots’s traits just got kittened up. Not only that its more expensive, it costs skill points too now and some event bugged.
But hey you’re happy with this change I bet you’re even happy that its been like this for more than 6 months and not fixed and no Arenanet person even bothers say they are working on it.
To add more to this, i think you’ll be even more happy to spend 400gems to buy a 15 gem item….yeah?

I bet an Arenanet reply will come SOON…like this.

Guys, this thread is too big and too much suggestions for us to go through or dig.
We will look into into this SOON, in the meantime, please keep forwarding suggestions for another 6 months.

Hi, just letting you know, if you have characters made before April 2014, DO NOT DELETE THEM.
The new trait system is complete BS and you will have to fork out a lot of gold/skill point to just test a build.

Gaile Gray.6029:

Hey there,

Here are a few tidbits from the team:

• A lot of newer players had trouble with the interface. That doesn’t apply to you, you’re veterans who have been around the conversion block a time or two. But newer players will benefit from the updated system.
• The goal was to make the Gem Store more like other shopping experiences, and if you think about it, there is more of that feel to it now.
• You may be surprised to know this (I know I was) but very few people bought gems at smaller denominations than the first one offered in the new system. That’s not to say they never did, nor that there wouldn’t be the desire to do so. But overall, the current options were selected based on player purchases in the past.
• The team is going to listen to your feedback and, if and when it’s practical and desirable, they can look towards adjusting the new system to better meet your needs.

So please keep your thoughts coming on the new system. Feel free to make suggestions but please, keeping them constructive would be very much appreciated.

Ok so Arenanet pulls out another “new players complaining” out of the hat.
I say lets all start urging these so called new players to put in tickets that they all like legendary weapons and precursors not dropping, maybe Arenanet will listen to them and implement this in next patch to have 100% drop rate with less mat requirements to make them

On another note, i turned on pc this morning played for a bit then pops a message:

Arenanet: A new build will be available in 10 mins.
Player Chat goes: What have they broken now???

Then “sweet a nice dress”…..then wait few minutes and its like “wtf happened to this exchange window”…then it went all sour and i just logged off.

Simply put it, the reason why Arenanet never checks with players before implementing something is that they know these things will not be accepted by players, so they simply force it on us. They are not worried, cos you bought the game they got paid, anything after they get out of your wallet is bonus.

By simply ranting here does nothing, they just don’t give a kitten. Its just too much of a big ask for a dev to pull the finger out and go fix something thats broken….let me hint you something “Traits”, over 6months now. But they too busy fixing things for new players that aren’t broken but are just “too hard” for them.

Was just running around looking to collect more weapon skins when i came across Sylvari and Asura cultural weapons. Their tier 1 and 2 look same. Why is that?

hmmm…possible you can try this?
Try the RAM on a different slot. Set BIOS to default and test.
Also take out the GTX660 from its slot (take all pci cards, if you have others).
The i5 4570 has a gpu in it.
Play the game with the Intel gpu, i know the graphics will look crap, but just wanna see if it BSOD.

Diviner.7405:

We are getting them by the end of 2013.
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/looking-ahead-guild-wars-2-in-2013/

Must have been a typo.

Hey, tell me something. Do you use an internal wireless card? If you do, can you remove that from the slot and connect a LAN cable directly. Then test and see if you get BSOD.

Also, what is your RAM speed? like 1300 or 1600 or higher?

I have actually seen a few tridents that look awesome. If these were changed to Staff, it would be so cool.

Welcome to GW2. You’ll find 6months and 56 pages worth of complains/suggestions here that ArenaNet is ignoring. Good luck with it.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Game-Updates-Traits

I give up this thread and so 3 of my slots will retire and be used as backpack. Will be just playing the pre April characters from now on. So darn hard to get anyone to fix things in this game.
Don’t worry, im going to PAX Aus this month and will give a good review about you guys.

Noa.7490:

Well, something fried somewhere in my computer while I was playing. CPU and GPU were both running hot. String of BSOD’s followed, lots of reboots, rinse repeat, and now I can’t access Windows anymore.

I have high temperatures too while playing GW2, more than another games. And I am not the only one, all my friends have this problem too and there is a lot of reports in the forum about this issue. No damage in hardware for the moment.

From my part I ain’t going to buy anything related with Arenanet in the future. Tech support in this game is awful, one of the worst I ever seen. I have no hope about a solution. I think I should aim to another game.

Just came across this thread while i was trying to find if there is anything in forums for lag. I can confirm seeing some temp issue to my system only with GW2. Specs below
i5 4570
8gb Ram
Sapphire Vapor R9 280×.

The videocard used to have a temp of just around 46-49 degrees celsius. It now goes between 55-59 degrees celsius. Nothing has been added or removed from pc.

About the lag, i notice this most when playing thief and also while in Divinty’s reach. For thief if i do just for test, dagger/pistol hit 5 then 2, i should be in stealth. There is a delay and sometimes it doesn’t even stealth. Divinity’s Reach, when running i feel like the ground seems like pausing every few seconds. Not sure how to best explain it, running in open world is fine. Its just those brick type floor in Divinity cause pauses.

As title says but………………… Soon™

Hi Gaile, The repost that you did of Jon says people were not learning about the traits. What does locking them away have to do with this? I go to certain part of map to unlock them, just to see what it does? I don’t understand? I don’t have it, so i can’t experiment, if i want it, so either do as im told by anet or pay gold/skill point to open it to see what it does? And this goes for every other slot i have after April patch?

**Another thing, you are asking us what events are broken that doesn’t let us obtain a particular trait. May i ask what your QA/testers did before this change got implemented? Maybe us players are the testers?

Orpheal.8263:

And it makes so much sense to whine about something, like Achievement Points and absolutely forgetting about completely everything of unused potential there is still in GW2 left over in regard of a Game, which we know of is most likely to be designed as a long term project for at least like 10 years…

@Lighthammer:
Your argument is pointless, because people actually DO play MMOs so long… if you for yourself don’t plan to plax GW2 up to 10 years, however, thats just your own decisions, but don’t do so, as if there wouldn#t exist at all people, which actually are so dedicated to a game, that they play it for massively long times – far longer, than most people do.

ANet still has massively potential for more Achievement Points.

1) Regions, the game currently has only for 1 single region achievements, but currently GW2 has 29 explorable regions and we are still far away from a 100% explorable Tyria and even far more far away from a comlete exploreable Tyria that we know from GW1 with Cantha and Elona at least back, which could provide even more potential regions to explore with own Region Achievements

2) Anet can still at tons of new Collection Achievements, what we have seen so far is just only the beginning

3) There are missing Slayer Achievements

4) There are alot of missing Activities, like Polymok, Bar Brawls, Shootign Range ect. which could provide alot of new achievements

5) ANet can always add new Weapons later, which would add new Weapon Master Achievement

6) There are currently no guild related achievement,s a perfect opportunity to add somewhen later guild mission achievements.

7) If Anet should add somewhen Housing, there could be alot of housing related new achievements …

8) ANet has absolutely used yet nearly no potential behind all the Bosses, if ANet would redesign all bosses finally like Tequatl would would give them all a unique Set of achievements, there we could get also alot of more AP

9) Same goes with Dungeons, if every Dungeon Path would get its own set of Achievements, like the Twilight arbor Aether Path, theres also alot of unused AP potential

10) Anet can always Add new Jumping Puzzles somewhere in new explorable Maps, new explorable hidden spots or in general hidden secrets like collectign those lore books in ebonhawke to give achievements

11) Anet could implement special town related achievements, which you could gte only from doing somethign in the speciafic racial main towns

12) Living Story will continue each giving with its chapter within a season new achievements

13) If ANet would finally redesign the WvW Achievements, it could become more AP rewarding for all the effort we’ve done so far retroactively to give all of those that played within the last 2 years actively WvW a little nice AP boost.

14) SPvP can always get new achievements from getting added new gameplay modes

15) There will surely come more Minipet Collections in the next years, which will add more AP

16) ANet can always also increase later the caps of some existign older repeatable achievements, like for Salvaging, for doing dungeon,s for doing fractals ect, because everyone in the top 1000 will have mostly maxed out these already, so it wouldn#t hurt if those capped achievements get their caps raised somewhen.

Just a quick brainstorming around all the massive potential, that GW2 still has for more achievements. If peopel have no problems, they make themself some I guess …

Hi, your post is about “can/could”. They can’t fix broken issues which is almost about hitting 6months and you want us to believe that they “can/could” add these new things….say in like 10years time?

Oh i just started a new character a few days back and when reached i think level 52 or something, i was given a tip in the game about combos and fields after level up. So any new player out there, if you are taking advantage of combo fields before level 52, Stoppp….you’re doing it wrong, follow tutorial, your not suppose to take advantage of these fields before then

Ok, on another note, seems for Anet staff, this thread is either hidden or invisible. Can someone please fix this or let us know whats happening with this?

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Game-Updates-Traits

You were pretty quick to push out patches to fix the NPE stuff ups but completely ignore the traits thread, why? This is ongoing since April patch

LionHeart.2804:

After the latest patch, with 23 characters, I have no enthusiasm to even touch the other 18 alts I have below Lv20-30. Would I get a refund for deleting the toons and leaving the slots open for Anet to reimburse the gems?
It probably sounds childish but I’m pretty much done with this game after the leveling nerf. :/

If you happen to do 100% map completion and open all traits on those 18 slot, i think Anet should award you with a Legendary weapon hands down

Hi ArenaNET, are you guys actually going to do anything about his thread and fix the trait system? You guys started this thread and then went AWOL hoping that as the replies die down, then you might sneak in and delete this. This thread was neglected by you for long time and then you reply towards the end saying there is too much to go thru. I mean seriously what was really wrong with it the first place?

I started this game in around Nov last year and was not too familiar with the update or this forum and had made only 3 characters. Towards Dec end i bought a slot as well cos it was discounted. Seems like a waste of gold now.

There is really so many good suggestions in this thread that can be worked on cos the current way of getting traits is expensive and forcing me to do things such as WvW etc that i don’t know or do.

If gold wasn’t a problem i would have just bought the traits but the 40-42g + skill points for each character slot is just absurd.

Can you really like let us know if anything is getting done or we talking to brick wall or something? If you don’t plan on doing anything, just let us that this is how its going to be from now on and close this thread. A waste of time coming here in the forum to see if anything is getting done or not.

I so regret now with buying that new slot. Looking at some of the ways to open these traits is ridiculous. I don’t do WvW and i was there trying to get the dredge as allies to just open a trait. Th Dredge is already on our side so im lost and don’t know what to do. wait for someone to take over them and then i go kill or something? Or just fork out gold and skill points to open them. Simply put it, im not impressed with this way of getting traits.

Hi, i am new to this game and not sure if this is happening to anyone else. I often wait around for events such as Frozen Maw or SB etc and fight. There has been quite a few times that after killing these, there are no rewards/items/loot/drops/chests/silver/karma from these bosses. I’m just not sure what i’m doing wrong. Fight started from 100%. Checked with a person in guild and they said to either write to support or forum and see. So if anyone has this issue also or is it just me?
