Guild Wars 2

I posted this onto the map topic as well, but i want to make sure others have seen this before or not.

This worries me as last time i saw this was when my graphics card was on the fritz and had to be RMA’d. I dont see the problems similar to that time. I think someone told me this was glitch though

Note the splotches in the screenie

Zone: WvW

Area : Citadel (Home)

Ive seen this before, but is this a map glitch?

The problem are the random splotches of light all over.

Is it ever going to see the light of day again?

more like several months since my main source of income was cut from the game
frostgorge

because chances are everyones greedy and will just go with the highest buyer. i have almost 90g atm saved up

What annoys me is how just a couple weeks ago Chaos Gun was under 500g, now its at almost 800

God ill never have enough kitten gold to get the last thing i need for Quip.
D:

Yeah, trading post ate my gold.
GIMME IT

6 characters, 2 80s , 1 map completion
2 lazy

i just wish id see Chaos Gun , i got everything i need for my Quip
le sigh

Upgrade Extractor?

I just hate the fact knowing ill have wasted chests now because of this limit. why not make the limit 1k or 500 so they dont go to waste?

Im still confused where 2500 chests even came from i had

That word is a pet peeve of mine, personally. Yeah it’s short for cartoon and WoW uses super childish cartoon design, so it may make more sense there than here else but they want to plague everything with it anyways.

Doesn’t sound right anyways. “Hey, check out my cartoon.” referring to your character on screen? Then it’d be a shortening of Cartoon Character which is just an unnecessary addition.

“Super Childish Design” no thats just Blizzards way of the entire Warcraft universe.
Warlords of Draenor is updating those “Childish Designs” to a more modern standard.

They also kept that design choice due to the game was released in 2004/5 and not many pcs were at the top of their game. The long reign of XP.

Seem fine to me? What size monitor do you play on?
I personally love that they nice n big, and fluffy.

Can get the details you want ^^

Maybe they were waiting on DirectX 12?
Would make more sense to invest in working on it since its gonna be a big fix to 11s backend till cards support it, right?

Some of your points are being reworked on Tuesday in the Feature Patch, i think.
Certainly makes me happier.

Is there a way to turn off the Your wearing statless equipment notification then? xD

Alright

Is Zerk/Valk a good middleground since im at the Asc stage of the Spinal Blades? looks the same just adds in vitality?

Edit : little less precision :<

Id still do it anyway. Some people just take the game to seriously and need to chill :P

But thanks for the advice

Also isnt crit going ferocity anyway?

I miss Trahearne.

The end of the expansion involves a party on Clawr Ireland.

I do pretty much all that. I was thinking PVT as a whole due to im an Grenade Engie. and two traits allow vitality converted to condi, and toughness to more power?

Im not a big believer in OMG EVERYONE HAVE ZERK FOR DUNGEONS. I rather have survivalbility.

So maybe a mix between PVT / Zerker? Or just have accessories PVT mostly and lug around zerk and soldiers?

Just how much is a 6% buff gonna affect Celestial stats?

Trying to decide what to pick for my backpiece? Stuck on either Cele or Soldiers

Cele stats on the backpiece
+22 Power, Precision, Toughness, Vitality, HP, CD
3% crit

Or should i go soldier?
Just trying to decide since im at the final stage of the spinal blades

Zepidel.5349:

Make all legendaries bind on equip after the patch so people with multiple of the same legendary can sell theirs.

But who are we kidding that wont happen, ncsoft would lose money.

That is a horrible idea anyway. Economically speaking.

If people made 2 of the same legendary’s and are demanding compensation, well they are just over entitled. They should have known an update like this would of happened. It just makes sense.

the other reason they were removed is because 1 splitter = 5 charges for transmutation when the update hits

Elricht Kaltwind.8796:

Every back item imagine able now exists in the game except capes. It’s like Anet is deliberately avoiding capes specifically. Why?

This is why.

Wish a dev would respond to this one

I quite like the UI.
And for crying out loud, a UI debate? What is this Windows 8?

I still have yet to use this thing. Does anyone know if the wardrobe change will make all 3 variations into 1 or we gonna just get all 3?

I hope so… Still so hard to choose

Was really wanting to nab the Scarlet Glove / Shoulder skins before they disappeared, however something else came up where I am in need of putting that money towards a new graphics card. And sadly wont be able to get these now. Really wanted something to change away from the CoF Medium Shoulders / Gloves lol

Any help?

It wouldnt completely steal the spotlight of WvW.
The die hard people would still go in at resets and the weekends. Which for most servers is all that matters

Give everyone a Infinite Bobblehead Tonic for logging in today.
That and SAB , k thanks.

Still love the concept art cutscenes
Look really well done. Seeing what we saw ingame would of probably looked silly

or who knows maybe she recorded logs somewhere. that might be found.
But she even said herself she didnt account for something, so she probably didnt expect to die

The final release is on the 18th technically, so maybe we get to see Heal-O-Trons named cleared of all charges by the Seraph…

Poor lil bot. Having to deal with them

I like this fight, but anet should of covered their butts and warned people that “A certain fight mechanic may cause seizures, you were warned”

These two should kiss, i mean goodness …they act like a couple.

How are people seeing water, its obviously near Caledon, you can see butterflies flying in the cinematic

I think i narrowed down the settings that cause it
Can anyone confirm?

Its either something with Enviroment, LOD, or Post Processing that seems to be causing it.

edit : ugh nvm, i cant seem to figure out the problem , its really aggravating

Latest Beta from AMD , Turbo Core active

Katreyn.4218:

After rolling back drivers I haven’t run into the glitch yet today; hopefully I haven’t spoke too soon.

I did also follow your device and disabled those services.

I know not everyone can go with rolling back drivers or using older drivers in general. Since some games are stingy. So hopefully AMD/ANet can figure this out.

My first experience with it was kind of crazy. Since it seemed to trigger a lot for me off of effects the first time it trigger was in LA event, and someone used the super adventure box nuke finisher. All that white and red made for a crazy light show of infinitely stretched effects. I eventually alt tabbed for a second or two to look at my temps and things. But when I tabbed back in it was fine. Second time was effect of my chars Fervid censor, I had an infinitely stretching white/yellow line coming off her back. But it cleared itself up in like 10 seconds.

I did put in a survey for the driver. So hopefully we aren’t alone.

Sorry to say, you will most likely encounter it again if its anything like what i experienced, just not as often. I honestly think the latest patch might of fixed most of it, maybe LA had something hidden underneath it before this patch that was leaking out for our cards xD

Try also disabling these services
AMD External Events Utility
AMD Fuel

It seems to be happening less. But i noticed it briefly on the new patch with the giant drill near the top. But a waypoint away seemed to correct the issue

To anyone having problems, please use the links below to report them to AMD, if your not already aware of these links

13.12 : http://www.amdsurveys.com/se.ashx?s=5A1E27D25AD12B4F
14.1 : http://www.amdsurveys.com/se.ashx?s=5A1E27D25AD12B21

Just sharing this so we can possibly get a fix in the next beta or release
And i found out from AMD by sharing benchmarks to them it is nothing to do with my card as im in the normal range for a non oc system. They think its most likely as i said above a driver issue as well.

Can get a reply from anet on this matter, please? I just want to know what you guys think. The only time i got help was someone saying its a Service causing this, well ive disabled or set to manual every service i possibly could without messing with crucial ones just recently. So we shall see~

Well AMD did mention they havnt had any reports of guild wars 2 issues on drivers since last April, so people gotta submit these things.

Would like to hear from Anet on this, this looks like a game/driver issue

Ive submitted a beta thing to AMD regarding 14.1, but i dont know if they look into this stuff without a game companies assistance?

Nhalx.9735:

Strange, that occurs frequently when the graphic card overclocks by too much.

I’ve had that before when I had an older overclocked card.

Wouldn’t be possible that a R200 would have heating issues on a game like GW2 though?

Was planning on getting a R290 but after seeing this I’m not really convinced on getting one, can anyone else give some insight?

Im not overclocked, nor does my temp on graphics card go over 50C, and im on mostly high settings during Wurm or WvW, player quality, model limit low obviously though xD

Not to mention i can play other games on there high settings with no problems. Its just a GW problem more than likely.

My graphics card runs at the settings out of the box. And even that is lower than the actual settings because of power being at minimum

Found a more specific occurence during a wurm attempt

Seems his upper leg isnt rendering at all, and causing this to happen

Yeah and i see this problem, which i thought was one of the graphical things they fixed
http://imgur.com/wXmz8R5

Its only happening from unloaded players, they load, its gone

What do you mean by unloaded players? Can you elaborate a bit on that?

Like from a distance in WvW they turn to the lowest quality, which is your world color in wvw, in my case blue. so from far away they are rendering as blue and for some reason showing those lines sometimes

Every place i started a topic regarding the issues i was having :

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Graphic-problem-making-game-unplayable/first#post3594886

https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=177532.0

http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/89574-graphic-issues-with-my-270x/

these issues seem to mostly fix themself on a client reset. most times

To clarify vsync is off , i am on fullscreen windowed, and have frame cap at unlimited in game , however i do not see this happen capped at 60 with other settings the same.

I am not entirely sure if this is a bug in the game as a whole or just a problem with the drivers from amd, ive done both 13.2 and 14.1 , sticking with a clean install of 14.1 as everything but guild wars runs stable. with or without vsync

I also have no way to test this in another pc.
Will edit this post if it comes up with current settings now though

Its a game bug with the new amd cards.
I did a forum post over at MSI and guy who was helping me decided its gotta be just a game bug or something just not processing right on the client for the R-200 series cards

Every other game ive tried runs perfectly fine on higher settings, Guild Wars 2 is the only exception to this it seems

The problem for me goes away after a reset of the client, but i also redownloaded the game entirely as a test

You forgot Afterburner, My card is an MSI, ive been using afterburner
The card is still new and this issue is really only showing up this bad on guild wars
the issue seems to fix itself on an alt tab , sure it comes back but it goes away again on an alt tab

I have to wait for it to get back in stock on newegg for an advanced rma

Whats annoying about this whole thing is its not a persistant issue, i can go hours on end without it ever showing up , or it only shows up for a little bit when waypointing around

The thing im having a hard time understanding is why does this happen instantly or after awhile on guild wars, but games like Tomb Raider run as they should?

Would doing a fresh download of the game help?
My client is still the same one from the beta weekends lol

something i noticed when i reseated the graphics card is that two prongs were cut halfway down on each side

one on the side with the fans on the long portion, another on the other side on the smaller connector, is that normal?

Edit : Are graphic glitches from items/objects still ingame by chance? I saw this happen earlier but it was coming from a players spell or item, player looked like a necro
