Guild Wars 2

700 gems for 1 slot bag is absolutely ridiculous .. I wont even consider buying this for more than 250 gems per bag……

Vayne.8563:

You’re confusing local data with server data. Here’s how it works.

The server keeps track of where you are. Your computer allows you to move around locally. Without lag, your position on your screen and on the server should be relatively close, but your real position is on the server. It’s not exactly what you’re seeing. The less lag, the closer you are.

That’s what rubberbanding is. You run forward, it’s not updated on the server, so you really haven’t run forward in Tyria, you just see yourself running forward. Eventually the server pings back your real position and you go backwards. The game doesn’t really know your position only the server position.

Lag would not make it appear like you were jumping all over the place on the server, only on your side of the equation. You’d see yourself as jumping. The server would not.

Still though, because of my lag I got thrown into a locked enemy tower lol.

Customer Support has carefully reviewed the data that resulted in the termination of the game account in question. They verified that this account accessed 29 map points in under 60 seconds. It is not possible to accomplish this without the use of a third-party program, the kind of program that is expressly forbidden by our User Agreement and our Rules of Conduct.

Because of these facts, the account termination will not be reversed.

I don’t know who that “suck as love” person is or what he did, but I can tell you weird things can happen in this game.

Like, a few months ago I was in WvW, and I had terrible internet issues. Basically for some reason I had moments where my upload speed was basically 0. Anyway, we were in a zerg vs zerg fight and I started lagging terribly. I could walk around the battlefield like a ghost, see everything as it happens (I knew it because I was in TS and saw the actions being made as the commander called them). However, I could not use skills at all, and was not taking any dmg. Literally like a ghost.

Anyway, to the weird part:
At one point after about 2 min of spamming my skills but nothing happening, my lag went away… and every skill used (among which were skills like lightning flash and burning retreat) got casted at the same time… This made my char pretty much fly half way across the map into an enemy tower (well I landed on the wall)…

So yea. Weird things can happen here especially when lag is involved lol.

Finally, these changes are fantastic!!!

i7-4790k, gtx 980, 8gig rams

Crash every hour or so.

I use 64bit and I still crash every hour.

Also this is NOT my computer. This issue started only after HoT.

Copestetic.5174:

I think the biggest risk is getting a crash.

^This.
Most attempts I’ve had at doing that map ended up with me getting error window asking to me to send logs or something to Anet… and my game crashing.

Tyler Bearce.3427:

The chest, containing Proofs, being account bound is a bug. Earning specializations (skills and traits) is intended to be character progression. Ex: If you want to fully train up your warrior, you actually need to play your warrior for some amount of time. I say some amount of time since Tomes of Knowledge have allowed players to bypass a lot of existing character progression.

…
This makes it even worse……

Tiffany.8576:

It’s amusing. The other month people were up in arms because Mike O’Brien insinuated that very few people played the WvW game mode exclusively. Now when you ask where all the WvW players are, you’ll be told “they’re in PvE.” Guess he was right afterall.

Most of the ppl I know who only play wvw simply do not log in anymore……

What1?!!?> There is absolutely NO WAY that SOS has more people than TC! How on earth can TC be ‘very high’ and SOS ‘full’!?!!?! Hell, even FA isn’t THAT populated, not enough to reach a ‘full’ status… something is messed up here….

Kusaku.9056:

I would like it if every wvw map was different.. so green could have a forest map, red could be desert and blue could be the old bl map.

This actually sounds pretty neat…

Big +1. Completely agree with all your points.

Wvw as it is right now will die very soon. No doubt about it. Anet has to make changes NOW or it WILL BE too late…

alicatrawz.9567:

Deffo an issue regarding Nvidia cards with more than 3.5gb Vram, the memory leak is insane.

AMD cards are still affected with anything over 4gb, system memory runs out slower since the last patch, but its getting annoying now.

I hope you have an ’all you can drink; coffee policy in your work place…

Godspeed dear devs.

I use a gtx 980 with 4gig of rams… my game has been crashing constantly for the past 3 days since HoT came out… I cannot stay on for an hour anymore without it crashing

Game still crashing every 1-2 hours….. Is anyone even working on this issue?

The expansion kind of killing wvw for me.. and wvw was really why I still play this game..
The new BL are too big, with too many stupid mini games like capping altars for buffs..
The keeps are way too big as well, I do not know what the point of having keeps that massive in size…
The auto upgrade is HORRIBLE. There is literally no more reasons to defend keeps since you get all the upgrades for free now… At least make SOME of the upgrades manual…
Also no way points on stuff like Bay and Hills and at the same perma way points at EBG keep and Garri.. again.. makes defending those keeps straight up pointless…

Honestly.. terrible work all around. I regret ever spending 127$ (Canadian) for this… At this point I am considering moving to a different game…

I got a similar issue.. my game randomly crashes or freezes several times per day…

Before HoT it was really really rare that anything would happen the game , but since HoT patch my game crashed/froze at least 5 times (in less than 2 days)…

3 times it pop the porort window where it asks you if yo uwant to send the crash report to anet…
the other 2 times i straight up froze (“gw2 stopped working; press here to close” window)

I dont know what is up but HoT really fkd something up in the client for me…

Why do you think the game revolves around you?
When it is your prime, it is night time for someone else. Those people worked hard during their day and now while they are sleep an you are dominating. For them you are the nightcapper.

I see. thanks. sadly I already made beta chars.. O well.

Im not sure if this was asked before i couldnt find any info on this…

What happens to my gear if i take a full ascended set off my current char and put it on the beta char? will i still be able to to put that set back into the bank and use it later on my original char? or will my set become a ‘beta test’ thing and will get deleted if when beta chars get deleted? thnx

A lot of the skills are indeed bugged.. Some areas are smaller than both the indicator and the description.

Its about as useful as any other conjure now… so no..

since there a lot of talk about line casting here is a little thing about it…. it is super unreliable… if ur target moves at least a little closer to u or away from u, u wont do any dmg to it…

u would think that targets with big hit boxes make it easier to line cast on, but then there is no point to since the bigger target will hit by all the ice shards anyway…

what anet should do is cap the number of hit ice bow does to a single target down to 8 (1/3 of total shards).. because the current change to it simply makes ice bow as useless as all the other conjures.

no. keep burning fire as it is… remove some of the blast finishers from daggers..

srsly i do not care the slightest about pvp… but why do they gut wvw ele builds because of pvp…

cantrips are literally the last thing ele have that isnt complete garbae…. ice bow was the only exception simply because u had the option to sacrifice defensive abilities for one really good offensive ability but ice bow is as bad as the other conjures. if they nerf cantrips they might as well delete eles all together.

RIP icebow… thanks a lot anet

Okay I see, thank you for responses!

hi. I never really played much necro before but after trying out reaper in beta i am kinda thinking about switching.. I mainly play wvw also.

Ok so I got 2 questions.

1. does necro really take 50% less dmg in death shroud? I asked some ppl half of them say there is no dmg reduction, other half says there is.
also a few days ago i was on my ele and i was doing 5.3k crits with my staff fire 1 skill.. if there was a 50% dmg reduction that would mean i would do over 10k with every 1 hit which isnt possible.. then some ppl told me that the number i see are wrong and that the dmg the necro take in DS isnt the same as the dmg i see on my screen.. so what is up there?

2. Im pretty sure this is bs but i feel like I should ask this too… does necro DS proc the +10% from ‘superior sigil of the night’? I mean like even during the day, when u go into DS would u do proc the 10% dmg inc. from that sigil?
Normally I wouldnt ask this… but when I do go into DS my screen turns dark while I am in it… (like grey-ish, and its only stuff like names, char models ect that turn grey-ish, chat and mini map stay normal color).. so because of that darkening I feel like i should at least ask..

so ye.. thanks.

+1 for PPK.

Maybe even have # of points gained scale with the rank of the enemy you killed… like ‘bronze x’ = +1, ‘silver x’ = +2, ‘gold x’ = +3 ect…

Also have only enemies that were killed by players give points (like if someone is killed by an AC the killing side does not get points) or if a siege weapon did more than 50% of the dmg to a player then you do not gain points for killing that player..

Idk how this affect scores but hopefully it will promote more fights instead of just stacking siege in towers/keeps and sitting there.

Im not sure what you’re talking about FA had like a 50-60 man zerg running around EB last night…

Still no rewards for the event I did today even after the patch and this many hours… Pretty fail honestly..

0/10
Very disappointing.

Did this event once, got literally no reward after running around for 30 min. I guess the rewards were bugged and they fixed them now? But that wont get me my 30 min of running around +15 min of waiting back……

In any case it is not worth the time… no drops at all, things die WAY too fast and the whole thing is just boring and unrewarding.

Yet again disappointed.

Luvpie.8350:

I lost about 10 guild catas and 2 guild trebs today as well when trying to place them on ground… There is a bug right now destroying siege. not sure exactly how it works but blueprints are disappearing when equipped

^^^
This

We were raiding and the driver dropped a guild cata and it just disappeared.
Same thing happened to a ram as well.

hi

Im just curious how the wvw is like in NA T3. I am looking to transfer to a T3 server since my server wvw is kinda dying :c and T3 seem to be the most balanced tier…

So far I heard that that is most a gvg tier, but Im curious about other wvw activities in that tier. Like are there any guilds that do raids (like 15-20 man raids), ect.

tnx.

Gaile Gray.6029:

I just shared this post with the team. Thank you for looking at this objectively and for sharing your thoughts. As one of our team said, “We really did think about this a lot.”

PLEASE reconsider opening wvw to f2p players… let them access EotM to get a feel of it, but PLEASE do not let them in EB/BLs.

I understand that they need lvl 60, but lvling wont stop players who are determined to sabotage other servers.
I know that this is already being done but with the new f2p accounts it will be done a lot more.

So PLEASE reconsider this or wvw ill take another blow..

I was about to make a similar thread..
f2p players should get access ONLY to EotM.

If this does not get changed even more players will quit wvw..

The fact that f2p ppl can enter wvw alone means that soon there will be hackers running all over the places, as well as spies and whatnot.. wvw is definitely gonna suffer even more.. they should make ONLY EotM available to f2p accounts..

If this game goes f2p its gonna be terrible… I already get whispers from gold sellers from time to time… now they will just sit and spam freely without worrying that the account will get banned cause they always make a new one for free… Then there are hackers and bots and whatnot.. oh god..
Free accounts will have to have heavy restrictions on them to prevent such abuse…

I quit games that got overrun by hackers and bots in the past.. I hope Anet thinks twice before killing this game..

+1 to this. Would make thing easier instead of memorizing locations of certain things on the map.

I have to say this, as someone who does farm SW a lot (practically live there) I’ve been getting a lot less shovels from events too..

What does “a lot less” mean in terms of numbers?

• How many events did you do per week 2 months ago and how many shovels did you get then?
• How many events did you do this week and how many shovels did you get?

Humans have demonstrably poor memories about things like this: we overvalue recent memories over distant ones, we undervalue average results, and we tend to remember results that confirm our preconceptions and forget those that do not. Without keeping track, most of us are mostly wrong about anything that involves comparing amounts from different periods of time.

tl;dr in the absence of specific numbers, we should “assume” that the drop rate for shovels hasn’t changed.

I didn’t say the drop rate was decreased. I only pointed out that I have been getting less shovels in general. I don’t know what’s up with that. Maybe my memory is failing me… but I doubt it

I do a lot of events almost daily. Usually if I go to SW I do at least 5 full maps (breach + VW). I cannot give you exact number (never bothered counting) but I do FEEL like I have been getting less shovels from events (but at the same time I started getting a lot more rares and exotics from EVENTS)

Again I’m not claiming that there were any changes in drop rates, but I personally feel some changes in drops. Maybe it’s luck. Maybe not. I don’t know.

I have to say this, as someone who does farm SW a lot (practically live there) I’ve been getting a lot less shovels from events too..

Repeat indefinitely until player starts bleeding from the ears.
Great job placing this NPC near the merchants.
Otherwise how on Earth would we learn that…
Do I really have to repeat my self?
Yes I do.

I HATE that guy so much!!!! So tired of listening to that while opening my loots after a nice SW run! GEEZ

Ceesa.1350:

Vova, what you should be doing is farming for all of the other mats you need for bifrost, but NOT the precursor. Get yourself the gift of bifrost, gift of fortune, and gift of mastery, and then wait for HoT to come out. Once it’s out, you’ll be able to craft the Legend.

Yeah this is what I will focus on doing for now!
Thanks for all the replies!

Linken.6345:

but you will be able to precursor craft it when expansion hits so why buy it now?

Wait so the “new” legendaries are gonna be the same ones except craft-able?

Cause my end goal is to have a Bifrost, I don’t mind waiting for HoT to get it, infact I don’t even have the gold to buy The Legend right now and probably wont have the gold for a while..

Linken.6345:

Why buy the legend now when you will be able to craft the pre when hot launches?

Edit
And to answer question the old pre weapons will still be coming from drop/mystic forge just as they do now

I really like the way Bifrost Looks! I cannot afford to buy/make it now, hence why I am asking if I should grind for gold. And thank you the clear answer!

so from what I understand we will be getting new legendary weaps in HoT which will be account bound.
now, will we still be able to get (from drops) pres for old legendary weaps tho?

Like, I really wanna get The Bifrost but Im only like half through farming gold for The Legend…
I need to know if I can still take it easy on gold farming or need to start spending 20h a day in SW

thanks

Ferocious winds (ele trait) doesn’t seem to give extra ferocity from:

Signet of Fire (180 Precision, but no +12 ferocity)
Aeromancer’s Training ele trait (190 Precision, but no 13 ferocity)
WvW Borderland Bloodlust (30 Precision, but no +2 Ferocity)

ReverendChan.8467:

Real talk.

You have a these classes of people in WvW:

1. Your person who logs into it only to do their daily achievements and could care less about WvW.

2. People whom want to ktrain all day for bags (don’t know why you wouldn’t just go to Silverwaste?) or level a char quickly without using tomes. outside of that they rarely play WvW.

3. Your dedicated PPT guilds whom stock piled golems for this week just so they could blob down every structure to push their server higher whom are on fairly regularly (especially on reset).

4. Your dedicated raiding/fight guilds and solo roamers who have been playing dedicated just about every day because they enjoy WvW for fights.

Judging by the posts to be honest compared to other areas of the game your idea of “ban them” or “end the event” are spread very thin all over the boards with little follow up past 20-30 posts (if it even gets that far) so the likelihood of either happening is very slim especially when the bug could have been patched already/the event could have been halted. I’m also willing to bank that since there isn’t an organized effort you fall into the first two categories of players (the minority) who honestly really could care less about WvW in general nor do you really put the time in compared to the latter two groups because you are more concerned about the personal gain on your account.

The latter two groups are either blobbing down structures with golems for PPT where some guild groups even with the buff bug have trouble breaking them apart or the organized guild groups/roamers that decided since people are going to golem all over their fights they are just going to run the bug and bust as much of it up as they can to get their fights/fun. You won’t be hearing much from them because they are getting their jollies out of the event one way or another (even if the event does suck).

My advice:

1. Turn off the game this week and go outside to enjoy the sunshine till the event is over. It is one week and I’m pretty sure you can survive without it. If you can’t that should seem a little red flaggish as far as your life priorities are concerned.

2. Assimilate with the PPT groups, guild groups, and roamers for the week and make what you can of the event.

I can tell you right now the people over at gw2wvw unofficial site/forums, while toxic as they can be at times, are only popping popcorn having a laugh right now over these threads (because it honestly is just silly like this entire event). I’m slightly inclined to agree with it because the minority that exists here doesn’t really even play WvW for what it is (answer: minor competitive PPT/fights).

TL;DR You want solid personal reward farm PvE or PvP. You want fights/PPT for fun play WvW, and if you can’t handle the heat log-off/find a more productive use of your time for this week.

Most Adorable Necro NA,
Schnigle <3

P.S. Yes we know this event sucks. :/

If you are referring to me then you are wrong. I actually am in a guild that does raid quite often. Also at the time I made this post I was roaming in EBG with some friends and we kept getting repeatedly killed by other roamers who had this supercharged buff..

Also, I am not going to say that I did not take any advantage of this ktrain, I got 2 of my alts to lvl 80. And I know that if I want to farm champ bags or gold in general, I go to SW.

HAAHO.1276:

Vova.2640:

…that exploit this supercharged bug… seriously this is getting out of hand.
How was this even not fixed yet!?!?

Considering you can get the buff from…
1. Getting in and out of a golem
2. Killing a golem
3. Dying in a golem

Players may be getting it by accident, you can’t ban people for that.

The event is only for a few more days. Take a break.

I am not asking to ban every person who ever got this buff, or even people who got it like 3 or 4 times during this event by accident, Im talking about people who repeatedly keep getting this buff and then running around and other killing people.

And yes, I barely went into wvw this week anyway. At this point I go only only to eotm to lvl alts. I made an exception last night and went to roam EBG a bit and regretted it. Ill just keep farming SW until this event is over :/

Im not saying Anet is not at fault here, it has been already 2 full workdays they could have brought a fix to this…
But people who are knowingly getting this supercharged buff without being in a golem and then run about EB 2-shotting everyone deserve a punishment.

Are you serious!?
people knowingly and willingly are abusing this bug. There is no excuse for those people.

…that exploit this supercharged bug… seriously this is getting out of hand.
How was this even not fixed yet!?!?
