Guild Wars 2

Aries Of Ragnarok.1365:

Ark Bladesteele.2943:

So, to play around with things, I deleted my local data from Users\MyUsername\AppData\Roaming\Guild Wars 2\

So that gave me a fresh autodetect start. Oddly, no hitching, no terrible FPS. So I started to switch things back to my original config and run back and forth between the same two points over and over to see if I observed a change. Everything was fine, until I tried enabling High-Res Character Textures.

Autodetect put High-Res Character Textures unchecked by default. Turning it on immediately caused the FPS to drop and massive stuttering/hitching. The odd thing is, it doesn’t actually take effect without a map change/restart, yet just having the option checked without changing maps causes the FPS to plummet. What’s the problem here? I suppose I’ll just run around with everyone else’s characters looking like washed-out crap until you guys fix it. Seriously, on a rig as powerful as mine, I shouldn’t have to disable this setting to get a framerate that’s anywhere decent. I’d also like to know why checking this option without changing maps causes the framerate drop when it doesn’t even change character texture resolution unless I do.

Well Anet, there’s your starting point. Have fun.

That was a huge help! Stopped the constant graphic ‘lag’ I kept getting. Thanks!

Before patch, that option was checked at my settings(i can remember this clearly) and I never had lag. Now I do have. It went from ~50 to ~10 fps. What is wrong here ANET?

Fix it, I wanna play…

same here. FPS lag is killing me x_x

I have had no problem before patch, now its unplayable. RIP my PC x_x

Sir Colin says what he think its best for community and company, trying to keep both sides in “profit”. NCSOFT is owner of ANET, correct? Meaning they pull all strings. Developers or other employees might express their desires, but NCSOFT is the one who declares what will happen and what won’t.

As I can recall, he is our most talkative connection to ANET aside Stephanie. They both kept us informed and commented. I honestly don’t care about future plans, I want my game fixed so I am able to play.

And no, I don’t want to see that VIP bul***it, if KongZhong likes it, we don’t. And if main game leaders are smart enough, they wont pull such thing or else they risk entire player-base to collapse.

Just my opinion with hope of game getting better.

Dear sir Colin, please try to provide more care for lvl 80 instead making unneeded and stupid camera changes. Its not broken so dont fix it

Hey everyone,

While this is currently working as intended, it’s definitely something that we’ll be working on and tweaking in the future. We want you to be able to enjoy your minis so hang in there!

Lies. I believed you when you said “veteran” content in week 3, but it never happend. Im sad.

I don’t think so. We need something bit fresh, cuz signet of rage is useless as hell.

Patch was pure disaster except guild part.

George RR Martin would fix this issue faster than anyone else could. Please consider hiring him.

Illuminati.2431:

That’s like building a sportscar, but it is aimed to sell to grandma’s and grandpa’s that don’t drive harder than 100km/h.

I love this guy’s comments.

Mental Paradox.3845:

Plot twist: he used a glitch/exploit to get that, now you’re the one getting banned.

this is getting interesting. Love the way you think.

Sogradde.8016:

The thing is, it’s already too late now. ANet should have had content prepared by now but they wasted time and resources on low priority crap. Even if they start working on something new now, they will never have it ready bevor the major playerbase loses interest in this game.

ANet wanted the casual crowd, the “Call of Duty audience” so bad, they made it hard for enthusiasts and hardcore players to find this game interesting in the long run. The latter are leaving the sinking ship and ANet is stuck with the casuals and bound to dumb down the game even more.

It’s over, nothing to see here.

AysonCurrax.3254:

because lets face it, the name change from “Collections” Tab to “Materials”, is hardly worthy of being called a feature. you changed a single string in a popup menu. that didnt take weeks or months to do. atleast i dont hope so, as an IT guy myself.

So am I. What if they couldn’t find string in code and they didn’t knew for search option? XD

Regardless, I am surprised how game can change without any change o.O

They broke the law of life and money, they change something nobody asked and it wasn’t needed change at all.

Well, Ill be back in 1year to see if there is anything new. Till then ^^

Illuminati.2431:

laokoko.7403:

at least it take them 2 years before the forum start being piled up with complaint.

many people included me have a good run for many month(maybe even a whole year). Before I get bored.

I only started seeing this many complaints now. There was complaints before about endgame, but not this many.

Indeed. It took me around 1/1.5 years to get bored. But that was when I still had faith in the game. I wasn’t impatient so I gave it time. But now, 0.5 years later still NOTHING has changed. And thats where my faith stops, and the complaining begins. And I think that’s the situation for most players. We were unhappy a lot earlier, but that’s when we still had faith and had trust that the game would still go in the ‘right’ direction. But now the bomb exploded because it took to long. Massive piles of complaints don’t just turn up out of nowhere, it takes time to let such a bomb explode. And sure, there are always complainers, but this is a bomb. And that just doesn’t happen out of nowhere.

And everyone knows what bombs do. This time, player-base is going to die, for real.

This feature pack is most useless patch I have ever seen. Seriously, do they even think about what players want? Forum is full of rage ._.

Stephane Lo Presti.7258:

The Feature Pack announcements will continue next week and some of them will definitely contain information that’s relevant to those of you who’ve been playing the game for long. We won’t tell you about them until the articles are live though, to keep the element of surprise!

I can’t be the only one who trusted this, and who got really really mad when they posted Spoon™ rubbish.

ipan.4356:

You are assuming that everyone has only bought the box.

That is a mistake.

I spent A LOT of money in gem store, not because I liked something from there, but because I wanted TO SUPPORT developers in making NEW content.

Because of this, I am very very disappointed to see “achievement improvements” more important than new features people where “crying about”.

I am sure ArenaNet and their employees do understand that, lots other MMOs are being released (almost) every year and they have to keep their game(gw2) making profit. Howsoever, this is not done by making achievements improvements or removing content once added.

Personally, I have several lvl 80s and I have nothing to keep me in this game. I couldn’t care less for any of upcoming changes to gw2, and I expected much more to come

If I remember correctly, kind Sir Colin told us that they are keeping surprise for us. I really believed in him, since week 3 was under Soon™. But sadly, all we got are totally unnecessary changes.

Aside thanking you for reading my long message, I do hope developers will start doing something instead removing added content. (Remember Southsun cove dungeon, right?).

TL;DR: I am sure ArenaNet and their employees do understand that, lots other MMOs are being released (almost) every year and they have to keep their game(gw2) making profit. Howsoever, this is not done by making achievements improvements or removing content once added.

Dueling can be disabled in options, also putted on CD like in Wildstar….
There are solutions, all it takes is good will, not “i afraid of it, lets not put it”.

Hope this attracts an eye of developer.

Underworld is crying and boycotting about SAB. Join us and help SAB gets back, permanently!

#OccupySAB2014 #SaveMotosWork

woooow! This thread became bigger than I imagine it could. I really do hope developers and moderators will read all this feedback and implement dueling option.

@ Vayne: Im sorry but if you READ what i said, i did specifically say duel and not “battle to the death”. If you’ve ever played WoW when you duel no one dies, they just get down to 1hp and the duel is over, there is no killing lol. Most of the guild wars 2 community is pretty nice. The chances of 2 people dueling that screws your event over and not helping but laughing at you is so small that its not even worth mentioning. Please if you don’t want dueling give a good reason why, hardly anyone is out to laugh at you because you asked for help.

I’ve been to PvP…I’ve seen some of the community there. Most of the PvE community is nice. I suspect it’ll lower that tone of dueling is introduced.

This mentality is why guild wars 2 PvP will never be a big e-sport like WoW or other MMORPGS. It makes no sense to remove a function from the game because people might be sour and be rude, if anyone is rude just mute them or report. Ive been to OS (dueling capital ) a lot and most people there arent rude, so how about you stop assuming the PvP community is toxic because of your bad experiences.

Not implementing something is completely different than removing it. They didn’t implement it. There are places for people to beat each other senseless. Let there be more place. But I don’t really want to be involved in it or deal with the consequences where I play.

And you know, I could be wrong. Maybe everyone who duels is lovely and wonderful and happy and smiling. But you know, I’d rather not take that chance.

You have to plan for the worse. Other games (cough wildstar) have solved these problems. Implement proper reporting/blocking tools, give players the power to block duel requests entirely, and, if it’s still THAT big an issue, create a cooldown on the amount of duel requests you can submit for a period of time.

Or the GW2 solution, bury your head in the sand and scream “No duels! They will ruin our pristine, non-toxic environment, where you get berated in map chat for not knowing events, booted from dungeons from being the wrong class, and called out in game for playing bad while using legendaries—-yes dueling would ruin this game!”

Finally someone who can think openly and efficently. This forum needs more people like him.

Marching in name of protest on Underworld server.
Please make SAB permanent!

If developers don’t take any action with this, I can see private servers poping up xD

Regardless, SAB is awesome! PLEASEE bring it back ><

This game has no endgame content at all :C

Vayne.8563:

No, I wouldn’t like to compete with my friends in PvE. But thanks for asking. lol

Every time this thread comes up, more people are against it than for it. Which would make it not an essential feature in my book.

This.

just set up a custom arena and fight your friends there.

Oh really? o.O
So paying? yeaaaa

Support from me and my brother. Also half of my guild is ready to camp there whole week. Good luck ANET!

I was just wondering why is this feature still not implemented after 2 years? Cmon people, its essential thing!

Who wouldn’t like to compete with their friends in PvE? Its almost like WvW, but in PvE maps

@devs I am not asking for big, money taking feature. Its simple, small detail which makes this game more awesome

http://zoom.it/Zf9p

Somebody said mounts? Again?

Dat necroposting….

To OP: Remember Attributes at BETA? Or that round mini map? YEAAAAA!

I think devs made it to play alone and they keep us players giving them money for doin so

You know, if they don’t return it, people will start creating private servers just for sake of it. When someone wants to play something so badly, they are ready to reverse everything. Trust me, Im engineer.

Yes, they will probably return SAB

The problem?

• Balance
• Stupid and reta*ded maps.
• Build > Skill > Look of your hero
• Racial Skills, what are these even used for? o.O
• Each class uses 5-6 skills, rest is junk nobody ever used.
• Some skills are unable to be casted while in move, like warr’s 100b or Thief’s 3rd on Sword.
• What does PvP even mean? It should be renamed to CvC (Class vs Clas so you can compare what class is more OP for what).

That would be GW2 PvP in nutshell.

I really wish I could talk nice about GW2’s PvP, but I am realist. Sorry ANET.

Wolfheart.1938:

I knew I’d get along well with you when you read “wolf” in your name

Anyways, wasn’t the pvp tutorial upgraded with China release? I recall them saying they were working on better tutorials 1y ago.

I think you have to pay 20 Yuan to enter Arena if I can recall it well. And extra 40 to exit it.
Why? Because they can. Chinese people have so much money, like its falling from sky for them.

ArrDee.2573:

Hello frands! Vee Wee here, #1 Engi NA and world first rank 80!

Actions speak louder than words frands! And there have been enough words said in this thread! We must boycott this map! We must boycott solo q! Only when Anet’s fancy shmancy suit wearing executives in their board rooms realize their precious numbers are falling will we finally see change! Please my frands! We must be a united front! Follow Vee Wee’s example! Do not play solo queue! Do not play Skyhammer! Dishonored is but a badge of honor! A badge that says, “Curse you Arenanet! You will not own me! I refuse to play your map!”

#boycottsoloq2014 #boycottskyhammer2014

Wahoo! Be frands!

LOL! I surely don’t play Skyhammer nor Arenas. Its nice idea to do so as well for boycott… except these noobs that bought game recently, they will play it without any idea what is it.

Seiishizo.7162:

Do you like skyhammer? http://strawpoll.me/2372305
Should skyhammer be removed from soloQ? http://strawpoll.me/2372643

LOOK ARENANET, LOOK! DO YOU SEE THESE RESULTS? REMOVE IT ALREADY, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

To everyone else dear players, answer is clear. Everyone hates Skyhammer and it obviously sucks hard. Its such a pity they removed boat PvP map, I really liked it :P

Wolfheart.1938:

Yes I suggest putting them through something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSS5dEeMX64

You son, are my legend.

Yargesh.4965:

So new players need to meet your approval before they’re allowed to play?

Naaa, they don’t Just sharing some impressions xD

Its funny how each time game gets 50% off, PvP goes full of noobs and I always finish up in team with people who had no idea what they are doing at all…

And I am like:

Prysin.8542:

already a thread for this – inb4 merge

naaa, dont merge please! Message is clear! Remove this crap map and put back old one for PvP

Also make some normal maps pls, this is boring to play on one-the-same maps.

Apparition.1576:

Skyhammer is the best map in my opinion. It is the only map that does not promote bunker builds and brings that certain “WTF” factor towards pvp. =)

It’s more of a chess match, a battle of wits, vs the battle of faceroll bunker builds.

So focus on bunkers only and forget the rest? Seriously, do you know that Skyhammer instant kill thief? Imagine it….

Can you please remove this boring and annoying map? There is nothing about skill here, only cannon.

That map with boat at middle was much more pleasant than this one.

P.S. Its not about balance, where there is none.

Guild Wars 2 PvP is not PvP. Its Build vs Build.

When I heard about how balanced this game is…

I know how much GW2’s pvp balance sucks and all that, but thanks for share Ill try these builds out. Many thanks.

Hello everyone

I wanna play sPvP after long time with my warrior. Howsoever, I would like to avoid hambow. Is there any other fun and effective warrior build for sPvP?

Thanks in advance!

This would be more useful addon for you: https://www.facebook.com/BlackLionDailyHerald/posts/271559383042814

It recently came out, has every possible timer for GW2.

ZudetGambeous.9573:

Dear Anet,

Please get your head out of the clouds. This game is not an Esport and will never become one. The vast majority of people play this game for the PvE aspect of the game.

Over 3 million PvE players have been begging you for new ingame armor sets for almost 2 full years. We have gotten none.

Now you are implementing a PvP armor set that can only be obtained by winning tournaments in tPvP mode? There are currently <1000 players who actively participate in tPvP.

3,000,000 > 1000. Please re-evaluate your priorities.

Thank you.

I agree with this guy. There is no new dungeon or new content in PvE. PvP balance sucks hard currently.

Most of skills are not working and racial skills are biggest joke ever. Full waste of time to make them!

Apolyon.6937

Aren’t you the guy who DDoSed Infinite Aion? o.O

Good afternoon ANET,

I would like to have option in Settings (F11) to change my Square map into Round map, just like the one in BETA.

You already have the code, all you need is to integrate it into current client. 10-15 more lines for option in settings is nothing, barely takes 15 minutes.

This is perfect time to implement this feature, since next feature pack is coming this September.

Image in attachment showing old mini map design.

Harper.4173:

The F1 should be improved since it was nerfed in the context of the previous adrenaline status.
after the feature patch it’ll be even worse.

this truth hurts so much man…

It will happen once ANET starts giving a s…

I am waiting for this feature for like year and all they did is keep telling us “its planned”. Do it now ANET, we don’t want to wait. NOW! Why not? What keeps you away from that? o.O

Mordemoth is cool and everything is going great but its time to MERGE guild upgrades across servers and finally implement guild halls.

Thanks a lot for share mate, Ill try to farm it. Much appreciated

Cheers!

Change your Berserker Jewels with Soldier.
You “fall” to 48k of critical chance, but increase your toughness and your vitality. Increasing your toughness you increase you power (trait) and whit your power you increase your vitality (trait). But only a little.

Or you can use a 6/4/4/0/0 build, with berserker wepon and armor and soldier jewels.
You increase your power to 2680, your healt to 24k, but reduce your crit damage to 185% and your crit rate to 46% (whit fury you reach 66%, and it’s good). Very good damage, good HP and good survavibility.

I currently use this: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fJIQNBhODbkpjaP77wyDORD8DImDMox1Vb09G-ThSBwABs/Yn6PVOCAmVCeV5XnDCAKdB41Ik/BAA4CAIIAzB-e

How big is difference?
