Guild Wars 2

Signet Of Air supposed to give now 25% boost on movement speed.
When used it still keeps saying only 10% movement speed boost is active…

It still gives that 25% boost of movement speed or atleast so it seems.

I’m too feeling sad about the lately actions of Anet. Every event they have pushed out include so much gem store items to succes

I still have my trust on you Anet, but it will fade away if things continue like this…

Could Anet give any word about this? Fix or anything?

This really seems way too hard for casual players to get since it seems you have to shot the “killing shot” in order to get the achievement. Or do you have to kill the carrier in down state too?

3/5 and can’t seem to get any more no matter what I do…

I must agree with most of you people. It really is boring since most people run it like: 3 on cannons, 2 range attackers nuke on sides.

In PUG group, there is NO way people will even try the thing that is ment to be done here: All attacking the destroyer after the cannons are turned on!

Potential Fix: I would recommend making 1 large plate on both sides and that there would be falling those meteors much more. This would make it considerable much more tactical and people would also go nuke after using the cannons. In this way the boss HP/Toughness could be raised or adding more skills for the boss to use.

The waypoint could also be made bit more near to destroyer boss but not sure if it would be needed if that fix would be used…

Ok, This now happened to me again. This time just only because of leader got DC first in fractals and then left.

There’s nothing really we could do in that situation. OK, couple guys reported him (me aswell) but there’s no really anything to be reported. He got kicked and just wanted to leave cause of broken game mechanic.

I’m sure ANet will fix DC problems in fractals but is the “Leader leaving, group getting kicked” here to stay? We really would need fix for this ASAP.

Guanglai Kangyi.4318:

I don’t think there’s any viable fix that will magically solve all problems.

Removing the leadership completely from groups or letting any other player to become the group leader as the old one leaves.

I believe, that Anet will fix this by time and these are rare cases to be happen anyway.
Thx for all for contibuting this topic.

KerriganGR.2736:

you can report him, you know and if he does it a few times, it’s bb gw2 for him

Yes, I could report him but that would still not fix the whole problem.
There must be something more than just reporting people who go afk.
Party leaders don’t serve any special treatment. They are just normal players like the rest 4 kickable players.!

Edit: Thx for the dev to answering and noticing this

So, this one guy who was the somesort leader of the group goes afk bit before last boss of CoE path 2. We were quite kittening mad about this but we still thought we could do it.
We actually got the boss about 10% HP left even with 1 afk but then the whole team suddenly dies and boss resets it’s HP back to full.
Now, when you try to kick leader, your whole group get’s kicked out of the dungeon.
So leader can go easily afk and still be sure to not get kicked. Or if kicked, atleast others suffer as much as him too…

Well, I only wasted about 1 hour to nothing. Oh right, I got 3 of those tokens so it’s not wasted, right, Anet?

So, is there some sort of fix coming to this ANet?
Or is leader really allowed to do something like this in future too?

Hope for fix along others in the big content update for windersday.

Title says it all already.

So are we currently unable to join group members that are not in overflow servers?
Or is this just some other bug? (or me doing something wrong?)

There is no bug. You can enter inside the cave where the sharks are by the small water area near land.

I also thought at first time this was bug, but then checked wiki and it was fine.

I have asked this whole same thing from them couple times. NEVER got any kind of answer from them. I would REALLY be satisfised if I would even know they look this topic at all and would give us something small about this whole DX11 or just improving the CPU usage.

In WvW I can’t get any better fps even when I use lowest settings. I normally always play with high – highest but there is no way of keeping solid 60 fps even with lowest. So there is clearly something wrong with the whole game engine.

So are we just left here only quessing the day of DX11 to come or could we finally get ANY word from them and I mean ANYTHING to even know that they look into this.

As sad as it looks, we are going to get our next patch not earlier than for wintersday
I was in hope of getting atleast the fix for Fractals, to get back when you dc, today.
(Took this as example, since so many run that currently.)

Do we really need to wait for nearly 2 weeks still for fix for that?

Is the future of GW2 updates going to look like this too. (Major fixes only once a month)

I, again, fear the same as with Lost Shores. Wintersday will be awfully bugged and even lagging in worst cases and people will rage as much as they did during that event.

I will stay in GW2, of course, even thought this seems to be the case. The game is great but it lags in fixes and in same time it get’s more content which is sadly quite bugged too.

I’m still hoping for more fixes and for less new content since currently the dungeons (not all) are still containing many bugs or not working at all sometimes. Please, take more time fixing and less for adding everything new.

Brutal Arts.6307:

When is the next patch?

In every thread they post they only say in next patch.

I sadly believe it’s no before than wintersday patch

The trading post is the most worst thing i can see with small UI. The “Rytlock Brimstone[GUILD]” is second worst thing for sure. It keeps bouncing to normal like and then again to that kittening look a like. It’s really irritating when it bounces like that and you have no chance to read it until you are near enought and stop.

Easy fix could be made for sure for Trading Post by just increasing the size of the font by bit. And character name/guild can be fixed easily too I believe.

I really would like to see this getting fixed in next patch.(Probably the windersday patch)

Latinkuro.9420:

Wow it is true people are never satisfied !
What other mmo gives you this much quality content for free every single month ?
NONE !

Most mmo’s give you small patches once a month and paid content every 6 months,
A,net gives you tons of new content on a monthly basis and people still complain !

Sure there are bugs, but the game is playable and those bugs are only minor annoyances, none of them are major game breakers !

Get off your high horse, bugs will be fixed in due time !
entitled much !

Not sure about what you are saying.

I love the game and content they give. BUT the amount of bugs included in now in their events (halloween,Lost Shores) is too high for most people. As I said in my original post I don’t need more content so it’s not that I want more and more. I want fixes and the best way to fix things is fix everything in part by part in small updates.

For example: You do small fixes for a car and see how those work. You don’t do lot of fixes and then see how it works if it anymore even works.

Give us one big update including fixes, new content and others and if it works you get much good credit for your work. (risky but you might get more profit)
Fail in those fixes and in making that new contect and giving it out rightly and you will have everyones rage and hate on your shoulders at once.

I’m all fine with this. If it comes only once a month it’s fine for me IF it works well.
But, if it comes like Lost Shores, a big patch after 1 month waiting (There were some minor patches too during that period as stated in first post) and it is bugged like it it was, THEN I’m not fine with it.

By still giving us the minor updates they could let us test the bug fixes and see if there is bugs needing for fixes. But if it comes only once a month you can be expecting all that rage people will be making since they waited it so long and then they find it all ruined.

On my own view, I’m not being impatient. I just want to see this game succes and now after Lost Shores you can clearly see what people now think about ANet and the things they have done.

I would be even all fine if there would be no wintersday event at all. I would just want the game to be fixed.

TL;DR Again, More Fixes, Less New Content!

It’s been now 2 weeks since last bigger patch. Since it we have have some minor fixes and routine maintenance if I remember rightly.

This same happened between the end of halloween event and before the start of Lost Shores. There were no other patches really during that period.

So, can we now also be predicting updates only for once a month? Will there be no more weekly patches?

If this is going to happen, I fear we might see big patches once a month which are as bugged as Lost Shores event since we get only one update in a month which includes all the new content and then we get all those new bugs and then, it’s hard to fix that all.

This game is great ANet. Don’t ruin it now!

TL;DR More Fixes, Less New Content!

But I thought the nearest waypoint really is free in this kind of happenings.

Atleast, when I ran out of money I got free revive in nearest waypoint. o.0

Hey!

Since this all lagging and low fps (not sure if low fps is only me o.0) I was thinking of going to go sleep already and check this all tomorrow.

Not I’m just asking, before I go, that what all (if anything) I can do again tomorrow?
Meaning, will those Karkas attack to places again or is it all over already by tomorrow and then I could only try to do that “story-like” thing about Lost Shores?

Good luck ANet!

TRON.1085:

They really need to get this in the game, map spamming on dungeon maps and towns is silly, and also it would make finding groups alot quicker, just click the dungeon, auto grouped and sent to the dungeon.

Done and done.

I would not want dungeon finder, I would like group finder.

Dungeon finder makes games unsocial. Group finder would be better imo just because it could be used for anything. There is already “LFG” in-game but it only needs much work on it to be used by anyone

Arq.8026:

Btw guys for now till they can implement some kind of dungeon finder , i found a very easy to use website that helps finding groups alot.

http://gw2lfg.com/lfgs

helped me with to find arah groups

Sad, but currently it really seems we need to make our own LFG programs/websites. ArenaNet could say something about this. They can’t just force us to do that for their game…

I would like just something like the original Guild Wars had. It was quite good system for finding groups for dungeons. I don’t want any kind of “Dungeon Finder” like in many other MMO have.

The current “LFG” system is just useless. I can’t see anyone using it and even if one uses it you have no idea of what kind of group he is looking for since you can’t write exsample “LFG Ascalonian Catacombs”. It just tells that the one guy is LFG for god knows what.

This game really needs “GROUP FINDER” not “Dungeons Finder”.

So no any developer will say anything about this or they don’t really know even about this by themselves?

Nirvash.3018:

why can’t they make it so the gpu does most of the work??

Well…I think that would be one option too but not all the people would like that one either.

But this would be better in my opionin too since you could then just add another graphic card with your old one other than just getting rid of your old CPU and getting new one just because one game needs better CPU.

lexdead.7610:

I think its not really that bad that the game runs pretty decent (35-60 fps, 45-50 most of the time) even on a q6600 with a hd 6770 radeon card. If they would make the game more gpu intense I really doubt my desktop would be able to run it anymore.

Yes, I agree it’s good/decent FPS in MOST of the time, but when it comes to the WvWvW or anything else with lots of people playing on, your FPS just goes so low and even lowering graphical settings won’t do anything since it’s CPU based problem.

This being the main reason for the need of optimization of CPU usage and how the game should use all the cores effectively…

I would really appreciate if any developer could say something about this. I know this isn’t something most of the developers even know about much but knowing anything about future plans would help, atleast for those planning to upgrade their computers.

Knote.2904:

Yeah I have the same issue. Settings don’t make a kitten difference for me.

My CPU isn’t very strong, but I believe it’s because it’s AMD and this game has problems with AMD CPU’s or something like that.

And they’re still working on it. There was something on reddit about it I think.

Yes, AMD might have a bit influence on it, but this really needs some optimatizing. I believe too they are working on it but not sure how important this is for them as they haven’t said anything really after the lauch about this whole situation…

Got quite laggy just yesterday… not sure why. Only GW2 was lagging.

Would like any word from devs about this

Hey!

Has ArenaNet mentioned anything about optimizing more the game. The game is currently so CPU heavy and not really so GPU dependent that it could be optimized.

So is there ANY future plans about improving the way the game uses CPU and improving atleast the game using all cores. I can currently see the game using only 2 cores effectively, so it could also use improvements on whole CPU usage system.

For example, in WvWvW I could lower all GW2 settings to it’s lowest without increasing the FPS even a bit. Having still pretty good CPU and still even it’s not enought.

Thx for any information anyone could give.
Would love if any developer could answer this.

Hello!

While using small UI, all that you can see in BLTM is way too blurry and small and all letters get shattered. Other UI sizes are fine with BLTM but small needs it’s font changed or something like that.

Hoping for fix before the lost shores or at least when that update comes. It’s been bugged now long enough…

Not sure if bug or what but I saw this one “Siamonth” climbing in the tree.

Took picture of it to share it with you all

Not sure about rangers but the best way to kill burrows is use as much as possible AoE skills. Elementalist has probably the best AoE skills for burrows. (frost bow, fiery greatsword, meteor shower)

Niila Nuppunen.9875:

Nah, why bother? After all, the game has been out for only two months which is entirely acceptable timeframe for the end-game dungeon to be closed for the 80% of time. There is a strong consensus among the playerbase that guild wars 2 has very strong and large end-game content, it’s not like Anet would have to fix Arah anytime soon. Lvl80’s can do challenging and interesting content like dynamic events in lvl1-15 areas all day long to compensate.

Also, it has been truly nice to see the developers being so vocal and transparent on this particular issue, highlighting how much they care about their end game.

I believe you are being sarcastic

And yes, I totally agree that Arah among all the other dungeons must be fixed. Arah is most bugged but other dungeons need to take look at too thought not so much. I really hope the fixes for dungeons are coming “Lost Shores” update. There haven’t really been any updates for dungeons in a month or something like that.

Underworld – Fireheart Rise

Serious lag :P

Just happened to me. It keeps loading the “fireheart Rise” map forever. It actually went there about 1min later but normally my loading times are just so short max 5-15sec.

I’m sure this thing works for people but this really didn’t worked for me. All it does it adds contrast / brightness and some others things. I, atleast, can already just go to my monitor settings and choose “graphics” either than standard setting and it does almost the same.

But thanks for still telling about this thing

Just noticed first big bot gang. The bots haven’t really affected me yet in any way, just couple gold sellers spamming and things like those but reporting them was easy. Reporting these bots as seen in picture is much harder and I believe I didn’t report even all of them but reported couple of them twice for sure since it’s impossible to click them all.

But that 10,000 bots banned last couple weeks by Anet sounds promising still. It sure takes time to get rid of all bots but it’s same in all games

I kind a dislike underwater combat too. Too many mobs just goes invulnerable while fighting and get their HP full or incresed. It’s also taking much more time in underwater to kill mobs.

I would simply buff all underwater skills (or most) atleast for elementalist. Most if not all of his skills are just too weak and elementalist is weak too so you often are about to die while killing single mob. In land I can take 3-5 mobs easily in some cases. In underwater combat even 1 mob feels hard and taking too long.

OK. Thanks for all about their thoughts. I believe now too that this is the way ArenaNet ment it to be played and it’s fine for me. I just wanted to know.

For now on, I just grap popcorn and watch the show

Thx. I was actually missing the Cubular Fells in Mount Maelstrom.
But I still believe I had 164 / 165 before clearing the Dierdre’s Steps in Mount Maelstrom.

Not sure then if that don’t count. Well, it could also be mine fault seeing numbers wrong but…

Thx anyway

No. As said in post I checked for sure that I had 164 / 165 before clearing last place out (which was the Dierdre’s Steps in Mount Maelstrom just next to CoE)

Suggestion: Adding thing that tells which area is cleared and if not cleared how many places remaining. Now people just need to guess where it could be

So, I was looking for the last area to uncover it and finaly found it. Checked the achi and it’s still only 164/165.

Is Maguuma Explorer bugged?

I still have no good idea about the Inquisition and what I should be doing on it.

It just says to survive and yea, that is pretty easy. Just go behind walls in places that aren’t so often be looked.

But the thing I don’t understand is that, when you get killed by those lunatic ones and you become one of them, how you are supposed to use the skills 6-9? I have no idea about those.

And I have also checked wiki + couple other sites. So I wouldn’t blame the gamers for not reading the instruction while the instruction aren’t that good and ArenaNet should really fix them…

OK. So atleast some people think this is ment to be like this. I for one don’t like when people use the Troll to kill Kholer and people even lure sometimes the Troll from far away just to kill Kholer.

Well… I’m OK with this, but how about if you use the Troll to fight againts any other bosses like in story mode you can pull the troll to “Lover’s Crypt” to kill the lovers or any other bosses near it’s spawn. (correct me if that’s impossible)

So could any Dev give a word about this so we could just keep reporting bugs like these or just live with them and use them as they are counted as environmental advantages?

Hey!

Just an easy question for anyone who knows about:

Is the troll, that spawns randomly during the whole dungeon, ment to be able to actually fight againts the other bosses and kill them or this is know as exploit?

As I have now encountered people who say it works like it should and that I should always use environment for my benefit.

Hey!

• (1) Everything shakes while the airship keeps moving.
• (2) The camera is having some hard times and goes behind/inside walls.
• (3) Falling of the airship just takes so long and feels bit weird.

Possible solutions:

• (1) The game engine has some problems or so it atleast seems. This propably needs a quite much code to be fixed.
• (2) This also seems to be related on game engine since there’s no problems like this in anywhere else.
• (3) You could get just teleported back to nearest waypoint. (To the ship waypoint)

Other than that, the feeling of the whole ending is just perfect, it just needs a bit more polishing

True. But they release it about 20:00-24:00 american time. It’s shame it’s already 23th day here when we get it

Red Falcon.8257:

I would too like to have this since I have an high-end rig, but right now the priority is a bug-free game and tweaking a lot of the content.
This is not a real need, this is more of a bonus (which would not be enjoyable by everyone btw, not all people have monster computers).

They are fixing the FoV issue soon tho, so you should see a large improvement.

Yes, I don’t mind if this don’t come right away but all I’m asking is to give word about this. It’s also true that not everyone has that “monster computers” but, according to my first post, atleast most are using quite high-end PC. Mine is quite good but I will buy new parts when ever a game it requires.

Fixing FoV won’t really improve anything, it just makes you see more but that’s good point too ;D

Sounds great. Hope it looks as good as it sounds ;D
