Guild Wars 2

Well that would be because the living world is just a concept of theirs. They wanted the world to seem alive, so that things change around you and evolve.

In the current patch the “big news” is Ellen Kiel and Evon Gnashblade fighting over a position in the Council – You can support either of the two candidates by voting in Labyrinthe Cliffs on the airship you’re talking about. Furthermore the two candidates have minigames and candidate trials that you can participate in. Have fun.

I have the same bug, same for everyone

Avelos.6798:

I agree with you that calling DX9 outdated is a stretch. Direct X 8.1 though, on the other hand, is outdated as KITTEN. Kitties. Kittles. Cats. Charr. (I don’t even know where I’m going with that end bit there)

Agree again. In the end though, if it is true that there’s only about 1% left who are incapable of running the game with DX10 it probably would have been reasonable to release the game with that. But that’s past and doesn’t matter, in the end I’d very much just like the DX11 ^^ I can live with both performance (Not even sure it will be improved) and looks. The game looks amazing for an MMO. Endgame for me.

Sorry, my bad I just dislike it when people clutter threads, not really knowing what they are getting into, best example being the DX9 users having compatibility concerns q:
For reference, the last version listed on wikipedia (I’m not really keeping track) is from 2010. So while it’s probably not being developed any further, it’s a stretch to call it outdated.

Nuka Cola.8520:

Because you’re ignoring the fact that DX11 improves fps. No matter how much you don’t care about graphics, fps in game that runs at 15 in zergs certainly needs it

Okay, legit question, since I’m not sure myself, are you even sure that DX11 would increase framerate in zergs? I was under the impression that the biggest contributor to zergfest fps was the game engine and not a DX specific issue?

MasterYoda.8563:

Treeline.3865:

Of course, but what is stated in that quote is not why they didn’t have both DX11 and DX9, Just why it was released with DX9 rather than 11, which makes a lot of sense, since that does not exclude anyone.

The only people getting left out IMHO are the people with DX11 hardware, DX11 is backwards compatible. Steam hardware survey is the largest database I know of. I’m also aware that not everyone has Steam or take part of the survey but it does show a good picture of what types of hardware people are using these days.

Less than 2% people have DX9, Less than 5% DX10, 62.12% Have DX11 capable hardware. Plus DX11 allows better utilize multi-core processors which is pretty standard these days. http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey

The masses should be more important then the few with sub par pc’s IMHO.

In that case it is debateable whether they shouldn’t have released the game on DX10, but it’s fairly obvious why they didn’t release it with DX11, since that would exclude almost 40% of players, provided they didn’t have time to do both DX10 and 11. I would however still love to have DX11 support added

Scoobaniec.9561:

Dx9 was made at the end of 2002 year. It is simply outdated

It’s cute that you know how to google, but then you will know that there are more than one revision of Dx9 as well. It’s not a one-time development and the last version of DX9 is much more recent. Even though your arguments are alredy irrelevant, you still seem to have no idea what you’re talking about.

Lévis.5489

And that’s bullkitten , since most , if not all PC games that can run on DX11 also have a DX9 option for people with older computers .

Of course, but what is stated in that quote is not why they didn’t have both DX11 and DX9, Just why it was released with DX9 rather than 11, which makes a lot of sense, since that does not exclude anyone.

Meh, I don’t have traits open all the time. However the fact that your XP bar does not line up with your HP pool – Notice 50% XP is slightly to the right.

Popping in to say yes, I browse once in a while, but honestly I would like for Anet to divide the forum into all the servers + a general one for people looking for a Guild on no particular servers.

Papillon.2097:

We still didn’t get the influence, so there is definitely no (short) delay.

Not that it helps you, but if you open the Guild Interface, go to history and pick influence, does it show up there? If you keep it open for a while, are there any recent “…” entries? Back in the beginning our influence would show up as “…” until Anet finally fixed it.

Daily bump. Although AutoHotkey is a nice workaround, we shouldn’t be forced to install 3rd party software, to be able to play the game.

Woah, that was elaborate. Thanks, made for a good read

You can always change the script to use another button, I just prefer the mouse wheel.

In any event that is the only solution available at the current time, except using another mouse for playing the game. A Dev can’t help you, the last I remember from the thread, they are still looking into it. I don’t mean to be a kitten, but my answer is the only you will get, I think. It sucks, but there is no way around it.

It is not that complicated though. Simply open notepad, put in the script, save as “all files” and name it blablawhatever.ahk
If you now double click the file, the script will run until you close the program.

Same goes for daily.

And I can confirm that as well ^^

Confirmed, skins from the racing thingy can not be put in locker. Definitely bug (Or just got forgotten)

My question is then, did all 4 of you play on the same server. I mean, are your HOME server the same as the other two? (Not talking about guesting).

Otherwise I’m blank, with the exception that I have seen influence be delayed a few minutes, and back at release never arrive.

Case 1: You did not read the item description, in which case there is no reason to complain.
Case 2: You read the item description, saw the word “Unique” and did not bother to figure out what it meant, in which case there is no reason to complain.

Maybe Anet could make Unique more clear for those who does not understand what it means, but that’s about that.

That she becomes invisible again at the 50% mark means you have been too slow. Collect sparks faster as Solo says. This encounter has even been nerfed, it used to be worse.

Thick Skin: Extra armor when health is above 90%.

This what you are referring to?

You can get the laurels from PvP monthly or PvE monthly, not both.

@anzenkenth
You would furthermore be quite dumb to complete the title in this way. Everyone who played GW1 can tell that fireworks (along with drinks and sweets) dropped a lot during week long events, which is where most people got most of their points towards these titles. Not as hard as you make it out to be here.

Hey there. This is a known issue, and there’s a large old thread about it although I don’t recall where to find it. There is unfortunately nothing wrong on your end. The problem is the game somehow translating your gestures into a lot of right-clicks.

I have the same issue and solved it by using a program called AutoHotkey from http://www.autohotkey.com/, using a script looking like this:

#NoEnv
#SingleInstance Force
SetTitleMatchMode, 3
#IfWinActive, Guild Wars 2
MouseLook = 1
MButton::
Gosub, ToggleCursor
Return
ToggleCursor:
GetKeyState, state1, RButton
If state1 = U
{
Send {RButton Down}
MouseLook = 1
}
else
{
Send {RButton Up}
MouseLook = 0
}
Return

Using this I don’t have to right click to turn. I simply click my mousewheel, and the game registers that as me holding my right mouse button. When I click it again it releases the button.

I have not found any other workarounds.

Are you positive this is a bug? I had the same issue, and redid the tricky jumps – Sometimes you can get in the water with the goggles still on, but if you as much as scratched an edge on the way down it does not count. My flawed jump was in Hirathi Hinterlands.

There are several threads about this already. It has been officially confirmed.

Foxgod.1038:

This is not a bug. Technically it’s just a reminder that the next time you rank up the tier of chests you recieve will change and into what.

Technically you are presented with a Dolyak and a Wolf chest, yet only receive one of them. Even if it serves as a reminder it should not be shown as a reward.

I just finished grinding out the no chest tournaments, took me around 110-120 wins. Even though I get chests again I still feel cheated for the rank points I should have received for these.

I can confirm this bug and would like to deposit mine as well.

This happens to everyone. / I can confirm the bug, and I think it has always been there.

ilr.9675:

^ okay but…. How come when I opened mine, I got a bunch of SOULBOUND weapons telling me “Type unusuable by your Profession” ? ….what was the point exactly?

I don’t remember where I read this, but I believe you can still deposit the stuff and take it with another character. Correct me if wrong.

CntrlAltDefeat.1465:

I just reached rank 29 and got rewarded a dolyak chest and a wolf chest. I opened the dolyak chest and the wolf chest vanished from my inventory.

This happens for everyone and you will never see the wolf chest.

Just a suggestion for you people: Make new threads, and make them specific. Optimization can mean a hundred different things, and you are all talking about different things. Make a topic for each of them – That will most likely increase the quality of your discussions and reduce the OMG I HAVE DIS SICK OC’D CPU, IDK WHAT IT DOES BUT ITS AWESOME, BUT WHY IS GW2 SO BAD crap to a minimum. Track down the issues and make the topics: “Support for DX10/11”, “Bad performance: Reflections”, or whatever your specific concern is.

Ah thanks for clearing it up

I really don’t want to be the one, but honestly, the language is so bad I don’t know what you are writing

ToooShea.3640:

Anyway to get around this…? by any chance…?

A: Keep playing until you start earning chests again. Could be 10 matches or 1.000, depending how much you have played tPvP.

B: Switch back to NA/EU server (Whichever you came from)

C: Keep spamming the kitten out of Anet until they realize how broken this is.

If you are being serious you are doing something wrong. I run a very very offensive build. A normal enemy will never take more than 10 (rarely more than 5 seconds) to kill. With average gear, maybe add 2-3 seconds. For defensive gear, add another 5 and you’re still at MAX 20 seconds to kill an enemy

Had the same issue. Although not nearly as bad as any of you, it happened more than once, stopping in midair, then falling. I’m on a connection with 10ms latency and plenty of bandwith, where fallouts are pretty rare.

To be quite exact, since it is how the system is designed, the bug has been there since release. They only found it 9 months ago. But yes, it is absurd. But hey, congratulations on only missing out on 4 chests.

About these lagspikes and disconnects, try running gw2 in compatibility mode – If that doesn’t work, switch it back again and try again (Yes, seriously). Good luck

People seems to keep believing that when you meet a premade team you will get smashed into the ground and matchmaking sucks. But please remember, matchmaking is only taking your opponents rating into account, and matching it with yours. So yes, if you are both, lets say, rated 92% on the leaderboards you should still be around equals. If they were so much better because they have played together before and use voicechat they would not be matched against you (Unless you experience very long waiting time, in which case matchmaking will expand its search to find a match).

In other words, yes your opponents might have advantages, but you can at least rest assured that they are not THAT much better/worse than you. And again, if you keep meeting premades, take a look at your win/loss ratio. You must win around half if you keep meeting them. I’m not saying its a bad idea to split queues, but getting upset over being matched with premades because you are that good shouldn’t be that bad.

I would rather see the rewards decreased until all of us actually receive the rewards that we are supposed to: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Tournament-chests-and-transferring-between-server-regions/page/3#post2359689

Bugged since release and counting.

This discussion is kind of derailed. I agree that it would be AWESOME to have both soloqueue and premade queue – But it also requires a lot of players to support – Surely you have tried queues taking several minutes to find a match. If you split it into 2 queues you could double these waiting times. Furthermore you would have to take partly premades into account. Do you simply ignore that people might want to enter 2, 3 or 4 people together? Force them to either split up and play alone or force them to pug their way to a premade team?

Lastly, the fact that some of you meet premade teams should not entirely be considered a bad thing. If you are an average player and run into a fight like this, fear not, they are not very good. If you are a good player who’s in the high percentile (Personally I didn’t see many premade teams until I got a bit into the 90th percentile), and you meet premade teams all the time – Congratulations! That effectively means that you are one of the best soloqueuers in the game. Why would you want to keep beating people who are worse than you then?

Panda.1793:

This is disgusting to see this still isnt fixed, please give honest answers to the community. Your peoples work rate for PvP is atrocious. This bug dosent even affect me anymore, but if I were you I would have sorted this out awhile ago, considering how many players drop out for stupid reasons like this.

It is your game guys, have some self respect and pride. Or at least do more PR stuff and apologize more

I agree. Of course bugfixes can be prioritized – But that’s talking days, maybe weeks in some cases. I’m not rid of the bug yet, I have lost around 100 chests, 20.000 rank points and 20.000 glory.

Worst part is that the bug gets worse. Imagine in a few years if someone decides to change server – The person might have 1.000 wins on that server. Imagine 5 years, 3.000 wins maybe. Back in the beginning it was maybe 10-20 chests which made the bug serious but not gamebreaking. People are losing 100’s of chests now.

Just started having the same issue – Lag spikes where the game stands still for around a minute (Meanwhile I can browse webpages and stuff just fine) – Eventually ending with the same error code as you guys.

Kaizer.7135:

I’ve played this game for 964 hours over the past 9 months, and have honestly only gotten 1 exotic drop throughout the entire time. This excludes map completion rewards by the way.

So, have I just got REALLY bad luck or something? How many Exotics have you guys gotten as drops and how many hours have you played?

You are forgetting an important part: Which aspect of the game do you play. Try going to fractals. Within 10 hours of play you will have looted an exotic, although Account Bound.

I see the bug as well, 3 servers.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Tournament-chests-and-transferring-between-server-regions/page/3#post2279042

Bug of the year. 9 months, still no ETA.
