Guild Wars 2

+1. Took a look in the achievement panel cause I thought this was there all along, but found nothing for a seemingly obvious achievement to add :/

matemaster.2168:

gw2 is transparent game
so you can find on gw2 wiki all the math formulas for damage, condition damage…
then you can count the actual damage

sorry to use a tired meme here but….Ain’t nobody got time for dat.

Seriously though, being a transparent game doesn’t have much to do with it. What if I perhaps want to also be sure I can pull of a certain number of skills in a specific way? I can tell you right n ow that most players aren’t going to go and read up formulas and punch in numbers when they just want to see how much damage they can do.

It’s not that I’m lazy……I Just want to be able to actually SEE the damage that I can do in the game that we all paid for. not on a piece of paper or in some online calculator :/

alright this may have been brought up, but since the search function doesn’t show me anything….this has been a thorn in my side since launch. Is it possible to have a DPS testing setup similar to or better than the testing in the mists?

Sure we have “Practice Dummies” in LA, but we can’t Crit them or apply conditions to them. As such, we’re forced to do most if not all DPS testing on a specific kind of mob.

What I think the easier solution for this would be is to simply enable crits and conditions on the LA Dummies got more accurate testing.

Obviously it can get much more robust like a full on simulation room (probably easily made by asura) allowing us to do customization DPS testing with specific mobs with a set (or infinite) amount of health.

Also I hear that GW1 had a decent DPS testing setup…so again, perhaps this is planned for later content…

My 3 cents :/

well at least longbow feels better now…also my axe can pull things now :I

hmmm, well about 2 hours and 18 minutes ago, we got the message in game that a the new build would be available within the next 1-2 hours…….I mean ya only 18 minutes over schedule but it kinda looks like they jumped the gun again :/

for me

Best: Timberline falls (just something about the view there)

Worst: cursed shore :I

Hi.

I want Rapier’s.

That is all.

While it’s kind of extreme to say we can’t have fun while there’s culling, OP does have a point. Seeing more people enjoying themselves is a lot more fun than seeing 5-10 people at a time. Just like how you probably wouldn’t go to a real festival major that only had 15 or so people in view (granted some people might).

I’ve given up on my expectations that culling is on it’s way in the immediate future- but I’ll tell you that it frustrate me to run by LA’s Mystic forge and (slowly) see people start popping in, then to run up the stairs to the bank area only to look back at a ghost town.

That said, I still expect to have fun for dragon bash :>

a few things

What Catalyst version are you running? I had the same issue frequently up until I updated to the latest Beta Drivers.

I’d also say to clock a little lower as that’s what helped me with the problem (currently running a 7950 @ 960 mhz in gw2 stable), but then you say removing your OC entirely didn’t help so I dunno.

for a temporary fix, I found logging in and out of windows usually fixed the issue until it cropped up again.

If you’re really trying to test what clocks are stable, set them up and then keep spamming Print Screen. This will usually trigger the problem pretty fast.

my system has an Intel i5 3570k OC’d at 4.5 ghz, and a 7950 @ 960 mhz.

Now this is not a thread complaining about culling in PvE (which I’m really biting my tongue over). I’m just rather curious if there’s been any updates regarding the status of it’s removal. Last I heard anything about it was when it was posted by accident that we’d be going culling free with the first southsun patch…then that more testing had to be done.

I guess I was wrong in thinking a fix was close to being ready if they already had a patch note made up for it :/?

Wargs – Lasers.

Turtles – Heavy tanking

(seriously though, are there ANY turtles in the entire game?)

Penguins – I dunno what they’d do, just add them.

Lion- not sure why we don’t already….

I still think they should have added bats around halloween :/

haha, it’s funny cause I had basically the same reaction when I found out it was finally in the game.

It’s in WvW Eternal Battle grounds (not sure if it’s in other mists) Armor vendor has it in the “Other” tab . 20 Badges.

here we have…

Medium armor
Chest: Tier 1 Human
Gloves: Tier 3 Human
Head: Conquest
Shoulder: Invader
Legs: Tier 2
Boots: honed Leather shoes

Kinda going for a half pirate/half zorro kinda look I guess. Reminds me of the guy in the princess bride :P

P.S. LOOK I CAN SEE BOTH OF MY LEGS!

First Pic: a funny glitch happened in wvw and had my upper body stuck for a while, lol

Second Pic: My final dye scheme (I watched the princess bride again recently….lol)

Last pic: For the lulz

Use a bird (smallest/least noticable pet). Put it on Passive.

I wouldn’t mind the option either…..but it’s how it is right now.

I’m not sure if they’ll be faster per-say. It may have just been a bug that made those skills slower occasionally or something :/

Taken from here

“Ranger

Fixed a bug that caused the projectile speed of the following axe skills to be 75% of their intended speed:
Ricochet
Splitblade
Winter’s Bite
Path of Scars

Juvenile Rainbow Jellyfish now uses a unique model."

am I the only one who hasn’t noticed slower than normal axe speed before? even as an axe user :/?

Expertise training is fine in PvE and I use it sometimes just cause I like to watch numbers fly. But like awge said, shortening cool down on something like lightning reflexes can be invaluable at times in PvP and WvW

I’m in a somewhat similar build that I’ve been using in WvW to great effect. Though I toned my condition damage down to 1381 with Veggie pizza so I could increase my Crit chance to 35%.

Personally, I prefer Axe/Dagger/SB, but again, this is WvW. The bleeds you can stack with the increased duration is just ridiculous and melts more faces than A Jimi Hendrix guitar solo. Plus with with a fully traited Feline, it’s easy to get at least 21 stacks between both of you. (obviously not individually). It also makes poison quite useful.

I also run with runes of the adventurer for the free dodge on heal Happens a little less often, yes, but Happens when I NEED it to happen.

I’ve run dual drakes in MF. Sometimes I switch to jaguar in the middle, but have 2 drakes during the boss fight is really nice. Switching between the two, I’ve not had one pet death during my 7 runs so far……ofc this is in a pet master build :P

I’ll definitely check out the stream!

I don’t know about all that…..

But we got a bear. Awww yea.

They can do the tanking for us :P

thefantasticg.3984:

I made a pet dodge macro. I recommend everyone who has the ability to make a macro: “F3 (wait 3 seconds) F1”

And no, my bears lasted about a minute longer than before against the bosses in AC and MF. All the rest died just as easy as before. All still fall very very easily to AoE.

That macro is actually a pretty good idea, o-o I’ll see if think I may try it with the razor Configurator…

well I haven’t tried many dungeons post patch besides the new one in which I ran with Jaguar and Reef Drake with almost no problems. of course this is with 30 beast master and natural health regen + regen signet

I definitely found that I was having to switch pets a lot less than before. In fact, I usually only switched for quickness. Felines still have to be monitored a bit, but drakes with that massive health increase seem to be pretty good tanks now. I even managed to keep them going for most of the final bosses (albiet with help dodge protection).

I’ll still need to run some other dungeons to get a good idea AoE performance, but I’ll probably just be doing what I’ve always done. Recall/switch when I can, or give em some dodge roll protection :/

Okay so this may be something small overall, but I feel that rangers should be able to have a more informative display of their pets. It should show current hp IN NUMBERS, Conditions, Boons etc…..basically just like ours but probably a smaller interface. Any idea why this hasn’t been implemented yet? or if there are plans to implement it? I find it pretty annoying to have to find my pet wherever the heck it may be in battle and target it to see conditions.

Actually I’m pretty satisfied

And Wow 100% HP increase for drake :o

Good day to be in a beast master build

Let us duel in the black citadel arena! who’s with me!

…no?

I’ll leave now

Calae.1738:

You know what’s a bigger shame? All those resources, hundreds of hours of development.

I completely agree. Hopefully after the game is more balanced and what not they’ll finally start realizing how much wasted space there is :/ And not that I RP, but I don’t think I’d mind watching some of these events in tarnished coast

It’s been brought up before, but seriously, can’t anything be done to divert some traffic to some other cities? I took a stroll though ebonhawke today and all I could do was shake my virtual head because it felt like such a waste :/

Don’t even get me started on the black citadel’s huge arena that could be utilized in god knows how many ways outside of story..

Caffynated.5713:

Did they fix the BSOD when taking screenshots with the 13.4 drivers that some people were getting with the 13.3b?

I’ll update this post once I have it installed and let you know because I know I was certainly getting that issue too.

edit yes, the 13.4 driver does seem to fix the issue. I did however notice a 2 fps drop in the static area I’m testing…..I’m gunna try the beta drivers

Rhysati.4932:

You realize that males get the exact same Duelist armor right?

You also realize that those aren’t skirts? They are trench-coats/long-coats. You’s still have perfect mobility because your legs aren’t hampered by them.

Also note: Thieves are not assassins. They are thieves. In any realistic notion of a thief, you’d have a coat with many deep pockets to stash away anything you’ve stolen.

Males get the exact same duelist armor as females? really? from where? the neck up?

Not saying I have a strong dislike of this stuff, I just wish we had more options (any options) that didn’t involve it

Now I love some of the medium outfits just fine, but seriously….is there a single piece of male medium armor that DOESN’T have a kind of skirt? or isn’t an overly long coat?

I mean, take a look
http://www.gw2armorgallery.com/human-medium.htm#standard

At least females get duelist armor…

And I’m just a ranger, but I think I’d be a lot more vexxed about it if I had a thief as my main. I mean since when is it more efficient to wear longcoats and tear-away skirts for mobility?

Am I missing something :I? It almost feels like we’re supposed to believe that skirts=power or something…

Hmm, wonder if I’ll finally be able to overclock my 7950 in gw2 without the gpu crashing :/

AlietteFaye.7316:

ehjhey.1894:

hmm, I follow you, now I’m just curious….

Let me put it in layman’s terms.

If my lynx get’s those 8 stacks of bleed, and I hit for maybe 1 stack, will damage start flying like I have 9 stacks?

It will start flying as though your pet is doing 8 stacks worth, and you are doing 1 stacks worth. They don’t stack into one single entity, but are based off any individual that applies the bleed. Any bleeds you stack on a target will be your own, and will only count for your own stacks.

Unfortunately the number stacks, even though the damage doesn’t, and there is no way to tell how many stacks you yourself have on a target.

Alrighty, thanks!

hmm, I follow you, now I’m just curious….

Let me put it in layman’s terms.

If my lynx get’s those 8 stacks of bleed, and I hit for maybe 1 stack, will damage start flying like I have 9 stacks?

Just need a quick explanation regarding the bleed stacks that build up while both a pet and the ranger are attacking.

For instance, if a lynx manages to build up a stack of 8-9, will this also be considered the rangers stack if they started attacking with shortbow? or are they completely separate calculations?

I’d test this myself, won’t have access to my desktop for a bit

lol it’s funny. I keep trying to use lightning reflexes to break stun almost like second nature….OBVIOUSLY this needs to happen >:o

I want a Rock Lobster.

great another thing I’ll never be able to unsee….

Now I agree

Rockin the Slacks , Socks and Sandals look :P

I’m really liking the way that Wildstar is going about player housing……Anet you should take notes :L

sostronk.8167:

The castle of Isgarren (Wizards Fief).

Ya you know what? It isn’t exactly a region, but I’d really like to see this put into plot now. I mean they’ve pretty much laid the ground work for a mini story from the info the npc’s give.

Heck, it could possibly be a dungeon :/…..now as for how we’d get there…

So which of the inaccessible Regions/isles do you people want access to first?

Personally, I’m holding out for Crystal Desert. I know desert scenery can be boring.. but If done right, I think it could really be something.

If I had to fathom a guess, I’d say it looks like a weapon that will be released once we also get the final boss of SAB…..

If that’s not a final level sword then I don’t know what is :I

IT’s funny because yea recently I’ve only been on top, but I do recall being in other spots before. And yea, I’ve also seen the non-online members names be pretty random…

I DID mean the names of online players actually :/ the names in the “main” window. I’m wondering if it has to do with representation

So purely out of curiosity, what determines the order in which names are displayed on the main guild page? (not roster). Anyone know?

CoF gloves
Duelist pants
TA boots
COF chest/Shoulder
Whispers head

are you overclocking your GPU at all? I have an AMD 7950, usually clocked at about 960 mhz. But whenever I hit one of my presets that are over 1000 mhz I always end up getting the same problem. Game briefly freezes, then a drop to about 20 fps or less.

I figure this is something with the engine causing the gpu to crash, and as a result, the computer switches from the GPU to integrated graphics on my cpu…

Rising Dusk.2408:

ehjhey.1894:

What I would have LOVED to see are Chickens that would mob you upon harassment

This is actually already in-game at Ebonhawke with the chickens. Furthermore, in the SAB, there is the bunnynado in World 1-2 that attacks you if you kill all the bunnies.

My god……Back to the box for me :I
