Guild Wars 2

Does anyone actually use axes either for main or offhand for ranger? I only see shortbow or longbow.

Unfortunately I have the dishonorable thing as well from the DDoS’. 2 DCs’ from attacks yesterday and once from my ISP doing maintenance. True I should of stayed away from doing tpvp yesterday but figured I’d be safe. Guess not though. Oh well. Still think this needs to be looked into though. If there are random server-wide crashes, players shouldn’t be punished.

Do you notice it happening more on uneven terrain? I’m just curious because that is where mesmer always has had problems. The same issue seems to be occurring with necro minions in looking at other posts in the forum.

Yes it does seem to happen more frequently on uneven terrain. Still happens on flat terrain quite a bit but not nearly as much as uneven. Sucks cause the rock dog is a good temp pet.

Try uninstalling your GPU drivers (not your motherboard/chipset drivers, just your graphics card). Reboot. Run a driver clean-up utility and/or CCleaner or some other disk cleanup utility of your choosing. Install graphics driver. If it’s your graphics driver, this may solve it.

Did all that and nothing changed. Probably some bug in the game that intermittently affects random people.

Very often the Rock Dog that is summoned by Superior Runes of the Ogre just stands there and doesn’t attack. But sometimes it does attack and it varies very randomly. Listed below is a sample video. In the video you can see it attacks, then wont, then will start attacking again. Best watched in 1080p fullscreen of course.

Does anyone actually use Settlers gear? And if so, what class?

All of the hats from the Gem Store (fuzzy bear, panda, quaggan) were switched to armor skins when the Wardrobe was released. You can see them in your Wardrobe view of the Account Bank. You will also see them as selectable when you click on a character’s helm in the Wardrobe tab of the Hero screen. You can apply them to your equipped helm for the cost of a Transmutation Charge just like any other skin. They can be used on all three armor types so any character can wear them.

You can check out all of the available skins (including the ones you have unlocked) in the Wardrobe tab of the Account Bank.

Yea. It’s not in my wardrobe. I’ve checked all 3 armor types and it’s not shown as if I never had it. I also have discovered I’m missing some other skins such as Winged Pants for light armor. I have old screenshots proving that I did have them.

For the past several days my game has been completely freezing from anywhere between 5-10 seconds then resumes normally. Nothing moves including the mouse cursor. Music continues to play and then sounds continue as soon as it’s done freezing. It’s always random and anywhere on the map. It’s very immediate with no warning such as slower and slower FPS. It’s just a dead stop freeze. The number of players doesn’t seem to affect it because it has happened with just 5 others around and then 100+ during events. It happens about 3-4 times per day. Another small issue that some others have had is that while changing maps sometimes objects don’t appear for several seconds and you can see through parts of the map. Here is the specs on my computer and in game settings.

Note* I did install the GTX 770 a few weeks ago as a replacement for the GTX 660 Ti and did not have said issues before. However the issues described have only been happening for the past week.

Is this a known bug since a recent patch? Anyways, thanks so much for reading this lengthy message and hope you can help out!

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

You can obtain all your town clothes by speaking to the Black Lion Trader (Armorsmith) in any major city. Take each of your characters there to unlock Town Clothes.

Also, if you had any PvP armor, you can unlock it by taking your characters to the Mists (PvP Lobby).

Good luck.

For more information, you can read the KB article found at: Top of Page – Services/Support – Search (Town Clothes or Wardrobe).

That’s what I did. But the hat wasn’t in my inventory or bank to take it to the BL Armorsmith. All my other town clothes were though. So I don’t know why my bear hat wasn’t. I know for a fact I didn’t delete it.

I logged in about a month ago and noticed there was the town clothes to wardrobe change. However my Fuzzy Bear Hat went missing and I know it was on my Guardian when I stopped playing 10 months ago. It never showed back up in my inventory and it’s not in my wardrobe. I had the Fuzzy Bear Hat since it was first released and would like to have it back please. I don’t know why all the other outfits made it through the transfer except that one.

I’d say Kasmeer also. There is however a child named Gwen running around in Divitinys Reach near one of the taverns.

This seriously happened tonight while playing Scrabble on FB with a friend. What are the chances? I couldn’t believe it. I HAD to take a screenshot.

It would be nice to see other types of gameplay. Such as Team deathmatch, Free for all, King of the hill free for all, Capture the flag.

I literally searched everywhere for the ranger sparring npc in hotm but can’t find him. They were always next to the thief and necro. Is it a bug that he’s missing or something?

It’s been a long time since I’ve played but I noticed I’m missing dyes. Specifically Midnight Ice and Midnight fire. I’ve had them since launch. There’s probably others missing too but those are the ones I remember most clearly. I’m guessing this is either a bug or they removed them. Others in game said they have those dyes.

It’s been awhile since I’ve played and decided to come back. I hear people talking about megaservers now. What is it though? I still see a world selection thing at character select.

Lunacy Solacio.6514:

What are your underwater skills? Do you have Shake it off in #9? It will switch to match their positions. I don’t like this ‘feature’ but it is also what relates to skills going on recharge when you don’t use them (Like you use skill 8, change skill 9, and both are on the same cooldown)

Yes this seems to be it. Just tested it. That’s why I must be getting confused. I didn’t know it was a feature. I guess I’ll have to keep everything the same for utility skills in the same spots for both underwater and out. Thanks much mate.

During the invasion while defending the children in the swamp the undead have (new string) next to their names. Upon killing them this text disappears. It’s the path if you choose Vigil instead of Priory. Although it may happen in the other as well. It’s not the undead who are already placed in the instance but the ones that spawn during the attack. I’ve provided a screenshot.

Where you wanna make a character but can’t decide what. And then you spend all day frustrated over what class and race. I do.

zodiac armor with the new scarlet helmet

ty!

Ok I Did It.2854:

Back up, when did it glow like that lol, you look like something right out of Avatar

Dont think you’ll see the glowy effects if post processing is off. It’s one of the options I know that for sure.

I agree with the special fx cluttering the screen at times. Of course this usually only happens when there’s a substantial amount of players or npcs but granted it is irritating. I think what would be good is if the enemies aren’t obscured by the effects as much. For example flame bursts being semi transparent where the enemy is so they arent blocked by opaque fire but you can still see a little bit of the flames in front of the enemy.

Came across this just now. Quite possibly the best npc text I’ve ever seen to date.

I haven’t played the game since Ascended weapons were first released and started playing again. I’ve never seen this armor or effects before. What is it?

This happens on some heavy armors and Sylvari armor. It’s not really a bug….it’s just how it is.

I can’t get my armor to dye properly. Only the gloves I have will dye. I asked in map chat and someone said they had a similar problem. None of the armor has been transmuted. I recorded a small video demonstrating the issue.

Has anyone reached rank 80 yet? I don’t play the game anymore but I’d still like to see the finisher whenever someone reaches it.

Azure Prower.8701:

Yeah. It was yesterday.

well, the screenshot is several months ago, but ok

(Re-up)

This island needs more love. The previous events on it were nice but inbetween these times it’s just a sitting duck. I would suggest changing the events, adding hearts, making vistas, make it all count toward map completion, adding a world boss, adding some champs that aren’t overly hard. It’s a nice place but it’s super dead when there’s no living story event.

I play an engineer in spvp and I have this problem where when someone comes right up to me I go to use pistol skills and they never happen but a cooldown starts on them anyhow. It’s only when someone is right up in your face and often circling around you. It’s like I can’t back up or get away to get distance so the skills then never activate yet the stupid cooldown occurs. I only get like half my shots off.

Is there any good builds with a rifle or is the rifle a dead weapon?

Check this out. Never had this happen till tonight.

doesnt work for me, and never has

Ahhhh ok thanks guys. I definitely did notice I wasn’t able to put conditions on him nearly as easily as normal. Might have to check out these traits :P

I came across this engineer in spvp and everytime I shot him it said immune. How is this? I’ve only seen this with a warrior. Im playing an engineer as well, dual pistol.

Often when in hotjoins I try to go for capture areas since that gives the most points. However often I’m doing it alone when the rest of my team is sitting at one area just killing instead. So I end up getting killed by a few players. Is it worth trying to capture or just sit with your team even if it means losing? I just can’t tell anymore.

I’m prolly the only person who doesn’t know what this means but what exactly is a scrub?

If you have higher magic find will you get dye drops more often from plants or only killed enemies?

Ive seen the same thing. Tried running thru the door then realized it was an invisible wall

I looked recently at the 40% sale thing and noticed that both the Heroic and Deluxe Edition come with Legacy Armor, 10 XP Boosters, ankittenhril box. I bought the Collectors Edition in ~Jan 2012 and didn’t receive those 3 items. Was this just added on recently?

I don’t think the elixer gun removes a condition with #5. It says “Launch an elixir orb, healing allies on impact and creating an area of continual healing.”

I think the #5 skill on the elixer gun should create a water field instead of a light field. Why? Well, the #5 skill heals everyone standing in the field. It makes sense it would be a water field and not light field. Also the icon for it looks like a jug of water.

Psssshhh I can totally do this easy….if I was a god that is.

I would kindly like to see some more waypoints in the Arah Dungeon. Especially Arah path 1. If you wipe or someone disconnects at Lupi, you have to run all the way back from the first Ooze boss thru a ton of mobs. Sure you can kill the mobs but I never get with a party where people wanna kill inbetween areas.

Attack dmg, combat log, timing things and calculations is really the only way of determining it it seems

Behellagh.1468:

It only has 7 positions for the camera where the middle one is the default centered one.

thanks! i was hesitant to try it out cuz i knew it would bug the hell out of me if i couldnt get it centered again. ocd

In the options if you move the camera position slider can you get it back exactly to center or will it always be off? Or can you set it back to default which puts the slider back to center?
