Every now and then i enter a path sellers lfg and say they should be ashamed of themselves. Then exit the group.

Every time i see a staff ele i force myself not to vote kick it from a dungeon, instead i grind my teeth and watch it how he/she spams fireballs with no attument switch ever and then die max range from all of us. Then i don’t res him/her the whole run because f you start using dodge and stop checking your facebook.

I do the same from above when a necro is in a group. Or a ranger. Because max range-spamming 1 rocks.

I change my armor’s apperance way to often. Sometimes weekly.

After i flushed 200gold in mystic forge and only got a few pearl exotics i quit playing for 2 months.

I like like world completion it relaxes me.

I strongly resent people who ping precursor drops on world boss event. I’m jelous besause in 2 years of playing the most expensive item that dropped to me is a hammer worth 20 gold.

I like running fractals even tho i know i’m going to get a uninfused ring on lvl 50.

Once i vote kicked afk-er on the phone after being afk for 10 min because i wanted to finish asuran fractal because Mentalist was on in 30 min on tv and i wanted to watch it.

So are you complaining, trying to get people to feel sorry for you or trying to impress other people?

Peripheral distortion

Probably a standard fisheye effect. What did you expect?

Fisheye is the middle buldging around the edges. This is the opposite and only along the left and right side of the screen.

I dont really mind it too much since they only do the attack once or twice before they are killed. Although I DO hate terragriffs. You can be standing plenty far away from them and still get knocked over and over. And they do their charging attack too much imho.

The bug from several days ago where it made your character say random things is still there but it happens very rarely now. My female Norn guardian just said “May Lyssa confound you” in a female human voice. She said something earlier today also but I don’t remember what it was. Human female again though. And no there is no one even near me when this is happening. I was out in the middle of the ocean in Straits during the 2nd time. As it’s such a rare occurance now (twice a day) it’s not really something to worry about but it’s still a bug nonetheless.

My thoughts on the new content

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: circuitnerd.5863

circuitnerd.5863

So far I’m liking the Revenant. It’s going to take awhile for me to remember all the new skills. Especially condition removal ones. The damage seems appropriate for such low power. Im real interested in how it’s going to be with higher power and crit chance. The leap skill on the hammer makes the camera feel a bit loosy goosy but I’m sure this will be improved upon.

Story wise it’s nice to see the change where everyone talks regularly (esp player character) in the open world instead of cutscenes. Doesn’t take you away from the playing field. I also like that your character actually looks at the npcs he/she is talking to.

Gameplay performance (fps, network, etc) seemed no different than non expansion. Ran smooth.

The mastery system seemed fairly simple. Not really much different than the WvW points. The UI was pretty clean. I’m real interested in that defense against mordrem.

I’m liking the new defiance improvements although think it should scale higher with more players. Maybe this is true already but I didn’t notice. It seemed a bit too easy to stun the Wyvern.

If you use default settings there isn’t a diffrence. Make an effort to use the new setting options and you’ll see.

I see no difference at all as well except for the first person, verticle adjustment and fov. the collision detection seems to do absolutely nothing.

So I log into the game at 3pm. Join a party in the LFG for SW. Can’t join their map cause it’s full. Leave their party. And immediately can’t join another party cause “joined too many recently.” Ummm…. I only joined 1 party. How is that too many? 1 is 1 too many? It’s now 23 minutes later and still cannot join. This needs to be looked into imho.

Bugs from 16th Patch [Compiled]

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: circuitnerd.5863

circuitnerd.5863

My fps and ping have gotten alot worse just since this patch also. Normally my ping is 70 or below and tonight it’s hovering around 200. My fps during vinewrath is normally 45 and tonight it’s constantly 30. Idk why the patch has done this but it’s really bad. I know it’s not just me either. And it’s not my internet connection cause my signal strength for my modem is near perfect and my bandwidth is excellent.

A note about ping: if you usually checks it through command prompt or similar, it just can be that you aren’t measuring it like the game does. The ping utility uses as default a packet of 32 bytes, but the game seems to use a package of 10240 bytes. Try to set it like that and check if both in-game and the utility matches (for Windows 7 [maybe other versions too] add -l 10240 to the command).

The ping is the same whether checked ingame or thru a terminal.

Random sayings bug

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: circuitnerd.5863

circuitnerd.5863

So far this is the only bug I’ve noticed since the 16th patch but my character randomly spouts out various sayings. Often they aren’t even her voice. For instance I was just standing around in LA and she randomly said “turret deployed”. She’s a female Norn guardian. And it was said as a male Asuran engineer. I’ve also heard her say various lines from the human female mesmer too such as “fixed, focused, concentration”. She just keeps spouting out random crap. It seems to be happening to everyone also.

Hotjoins nowdays are just dailies and people farming newbs who don’t realize people can farm them in PvP.

It isn’t like the old days where hotjoins were fun and good matches.
Best bet is to just do unranked and ranked.
Or learn about farming newbs in hotjoins and farm newbs too!

I can’t recall that. Do you perhaps post from another universe?

FoV change and PvP

in PvP

Posted by: circuitnerd.5863

circuitnerd.5863

This is a comparison between the current and the future max FoV:
http://i.imgur.com/F7FmT2C.jpg

This will affect PvP a lot, as in a full maxed FoV asuras will be barely seen, so animations will be even harder to read.

What do you think ?

I find animations difficult to read as is. Usually I just go off of knowing what weapons do what on other classes. But I agree it’ll be more difficult. However you’ll be able to keep the default fov so you can still see Asuras as they are now. It does give that disadvantage though. I’ll just keep playing with the standard fov since it’s what I’m used to.

Please improve auto-target

in PvP

Posted by: circuitnerd.5863

circuitnerd.5863

I’d like to see some better auto-targetting especially in pvp. Idk how many times auto target has decided to choose a turret or flesh golem instead of a player. I don’t mind it as much with Mesmers although I still think it could be improved somewhat there as well. I know you can click on a player and manually target them but it can be nearly impossible when you’re in a kiting situation. It’s like “no, i dont care about that turret, no game i dont care about that other turret, no game i dont care about that little golem thingy!”

As a side note it would help in pve as well. I’ve went to attack something directly in front of me and auto target selects something way off in the background. And of course as soon as that happens it pulls some mob from far away (which usually isn’t a big deal but still annoying).

[SPvP] Spawning in the opposing team base

While playing on the red team in a hotjoin match on Legacy of the Foefire, I spawned in the blue base….much to the surprise of the two opposing players who spawned with me, and myself. I was stuck there too, since I couldn’t exit the blue team portals.

Asking around in Heart of the Mists, it seems like others have experienced this bug too. Surprised it hasn’t been posted in this forum yet.

After serveral hours of play on numerous occassions my Flesh Golem on my necromancer doesn’t attack targets, let alone my target. He usually just stands off to the side of combat doing nothing.

You’ll probably find this happens with your Shade also. It seems that certain pets (excluding Rangers’ and Elementals) get stuck and won’t attack. It’s been a problem for a long time now. It happens with the Runes of Ogre as well. The Rockdog summoned by the runes often just stands there.

It is far from “completely unplayable”. I still play GW1, and the only time I ever have that stuttering is if I alt-tab to another window. And it goes away after a couple of minutes. My husband doesn’t ever have the stuttering. None of my guildie friends have complained of it, either.

Since GW1 doesn’t seem to have a forum I’m posting here. Returned to the game to try it out. Hadn’t played it in many years. I decided to venture out randomly but I’ve noticed there is so much lag it’s not even playable. You just stutter-walk across the ground like gliding sort of. And enemies teleport all over the place. I know it’s not just me either. As I know GW1 is not a priority at all I still think the servers that are running it need a reboot. It feels like they haven’t rebooted in 7 years. As of right now it’s completely unplayable.

Inconsistencies

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: circuitnerd.5863

circuitnerd.5863

These aren’t really bugs. This is the first time leveling up a character and going thru the story since the NPE and noticed some flaws. I labeled them as how I view them. Anyone else notice all these as well?

Saya Al Rejid states meeting prior yet has never happened. You first meet
her in several quests later which should of taken place much earlier. (out of order)

Cleansing of Orr states that you encountered previous eyes. This is not true.
Only encountered 1 eye in the vision of the pale tree which is technically just a dream. (factual error)

The orb that keeps risen away comes from unknown origin now. There were
several quests that were removed to explain how the Pact got it. (inconsistency)

Tonn’s explosives are said to have been specially made yet you do not encounter Tonn anymore as his several quests were removed and you have no idea who he is. (inconsistency)

Trahearne is called Marshal before he gives himself that rank during
Retribution. (out of order)

Several quests involve going to Cursed Shore and back via sky ships from
Fort Trinity. Yet later in the story you are involved in invading into
Cursed Shore. This makes it appear the Cursed Shore is safe then not safe.
(out of order)

Killing the Mouth and Eye should of occured before the Cleansing of Orr. For
one because of the previous inconsistency stated above and also because
why would you of gone backward to Malchors Leap if you have already made it
to the Cursed Shore previously. (out of order)

There are a few quests involving fighting thru Malchor’s Leap yet you’ve
visited the Cursed Shore several times before and should be farther along.
(out of order)

The pale tree gives you 3 options after the vision of Orr. Fearing of an
innocent dying, letting down your comrades, and fear of letting someone
suffer. It now makes no difference which you select as all those paths
quests’ are now removed. (inconsistency)

There seem to be many end game quests that are out of order leading you
to go forward in progression then backward. Then suddenly you are at the
Gates of Arah. (inconsistency)

During some early quests you are called Commander by random NPCs long before you even meet Trahearne for the first time. (inconsistency)

This cause failure?

Posted by: circuitnerd.5863

circuitnerd.5863

If you can’t rescue them in time you will still complete the room but you won’t get the dmg bonus provided by the researchers which makes the final boss a little faster to kill.

Best way to rescue the researchers is to open the 2 rooms that are on fire and then move to the 2 with portals. Any class that is built for dps can do these rooms in time if done in the right order.

Hmmm ok. Cause what happened was a researcher died but all the enemies were killed behind the doors. But the one room with the panel wouldn’t open and the coolant rod was sitting inside on the ground. The door remained shut.
