Guild Wars 2

that’s what I said with my first post :S

Knighthonor.4061:

Why nobody in the community warns each other to not buy keys?

Uhm what? It’s common knowledge especially if you are active in the forums.

From what I understand TC has a huge problem with these “lewd” RPers, they ruin the reputation of the server and the RP community in general. The leader may have overreacted but it’s understandable that no RP guild would want to have these types of RP players in their guild.

Also, are you sure that you got kicked for that reason?

Ragnarox.9601:

You unlock skins by binding it to acc.

Or destroying them

For example if you throw stuff into the forge, it doesn’t apply to minipets for obvious reasons. Or if you salvage something, or use it as part of a recipe (corrupted weapons).

Maybe they are waiting for DX12 to be released but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Thief is pretty interesting because it uses a energy instead of cooldowns for his weapon skills, he is squishy and you have to utilize blind fields and dodges to stay in battle but this is actually a pretty good way of learning certain mechanics.

Oh and if you level up, try to switch weapon sets once in a while, just to see how different weapons feel.

What do you want to do with the laptop? Just gaming? Using it for school/university?

Jai.3058:

Hey guys ive been having lag issues, im not sure why since all my settings are on lowest performance. In WvW is it at 1-5 fps, PvP 6-9 fps and PvE 15-20fps.
Computer: HP Pavillion laptop m6. GPU: Radeon™ HD 7670. RAM: 4g.
Help would be appreciated.

Specific laptop model? I think it may be the HP Pavilion m6-1030sw. At least that seems to fit your description.

The obvious problem is that you are working with a i3 that’s clocked at 2,5Ghz. First of all it’s a dualcore and second of all it’s kinda slow for this very CPU intense game and on top of that it’s a notebook CPU. I personally wouldn’t recommend you playing the game with this machine, not only will you barely get any enjoyment out of it (low FPS, low visuals) but only do you shorten the lifespan of your notebook. They are not build for 100% CPU load over a long timespan.

I would recommend you to buy a desktop PC

Tengus are just unrealistic as a playable race, sure A.Net wanted to implement them before the release but there had to be reason why they decided against it.
And I think the reason would be the problem of having another non-humanoid race. Why would that be a problem? Because of armors and outfits.

Right now we have charrs asura and humaniods (Sylvari, Humans, Norn), this means every outfit release would consist of a humanoid version, a charr version and an asura version. It’s obvious that charr and asura versions don’t require them to make a completely new model but still, they have to put work into it to adjust the models, now add tengus and they would have to add another new model. It get’s even worse if you add armors to that calculation.

Now let’s say they decide to implement tengus to the game, what would they have to do first? Adjust every armor/outfit skin that is in the game for tengu, even armors that no one will ever use, it is so much “wasted” time, for a race that will most likely be played by the minority of the players.

This is just what I think is the reason why we are never going to see tengus or any other non-humanoid as a playable race.

JUN YANG.4328:

this is so true. i used bought 3 outfit. and its totally useless now. never wear it.
i stopped buying after waste gem.

But isn’t that your fault? You bought an outfit and now you don’t wear it anymore.. okay, that’s your decision. If this is a flaw for you same logic could be applied to armor skins from the gemstore.

frozen is the best movie NA.1089:

No we’re on different accounts. Like if I make both Sunrise+Twilight then forge it will I get both skins & Eternity?
Then if I give him the Eternity will he get all 3 skins?

It’s pretty simple, you craft eternity. By doing that you unlock sunrise and twilight but you won’t unlock eternity. This will only happen if you bind it to your account. Sending eternity to your brother and letting him bind it to his account will unlock the eternity skin for his account but not sunrise + twilight.

Ralanost.8913:

The write up is literally nothing. Fan videos from Bog Otter, Mattvisual and Wooden Potatos gave me all the info in a much better fashion.

But some people just use the official website as a news source.

Yeah that game totally needs more “twitch” people…. not.

i think you don’t know how a mmorpg is working..if nobody is playing guild wars there will be no new features/updates cuz not profitable at all. So a streamer like sodapoppin could make the game more famous which generate a bigger playerbase.

Look at what happened to Mobas once they became really popular..

Wow 800$ for that rig.. what a rip-off.

Subutex.2416:

And here we are… buying the game and playing for free. Dreamjob :’(

Not really, you have nothing to put on your resumee once you are done with twitch.

Ragion.2831:

…

How is it exclusive when every third player has the item?

Lunarraikar.8213:

I play on Blacktide. For WvW we are the worst ‘server’, is their going to be an free server change?

Your server won’t get any better if more people leave it.

i dont see a bad thing about it?

Maybe you should take a look at the twitchchat once in a while and you will know what I mean.

DakotaCoty.5721:

Hello all,

I am currently looking for a gaming headset that has amazing sound quality but also amazing microphone quality.

In this case you shouldn’t look at headsets. Usually the microphones perform pretty badly. "Gaming"headsets are most of the time totally overpriced for what they offer.

Instead of buying a headset you could easily buy Sony MDR-V55 headphones and add a decent desktop microphone to it.

I kinda agree with OP but for other reasons. I think they add NOTHING to the story except more drama.

Next thing you know, as soon as you/someone else enters a group it will be mandatory to yell: “Hey all. Screenshot Taken” to let them know if kicked you’ll send it to Support asking a non-existent PUG Hammer to rend and smash from on high…

How high are the chances that A.Net actually bans them though?

None percent. Nill, nada, zero. Good day sir, WvW improvements are important.

That makes my day actually even worse, because getting kicked from a dungeon group right at the end ruined some evenings for me.

It’s not even agaisnt the rules for them to do this so, why would they get banned?

Doesn’t it fall under the category “LFG abuse” ?

Sagramor.7395:

I thought that’s why we had these forums. GW2 is arguably one of the most friendly gaming community out there.

Where did you get that from?

Bristingr.5034:

NoTrigger.8396:

microsoft skips trash too.

No they don’t. They’re skipping the good version.

Vista and 8 were trash, XP and 7 were good ones.

What? Win 8.1 is not trash. It’s a really good OS.

What’s the deal with the hylek pots?

JacobMaiden.1802:

Thankyou for the help guys! I am now in the right direction for a long painful journey!

But why make it a painful journey? Let the legendary weapon be part of your journey, A.Net designed the process of crafting a legendary in such a way that you rarely need to play 1 part of the game exclusively.

You shouldn’t have to tell other people how to be sociable in MMOs :/

You have 2 different stories. You have your personal story and you have the Destiny’s Edge + you story, which always requires you to play through the story mission of a dungeon.

Nova.8021:

Yeah, why can’t we use the individual pieces? What a waste. Maybe it’s more effort to make the pieces separate but ultimately they make more money in the end.

How do you know that? Do you have access to the sales figures? And no, 20 people on the forums saying " I won’t but it because it’s an outfit" don’t count.

So your only argument is “more profit”, why do YOU as a costumer try to find ways to improve their revenue? Isn’t that A.Net’s job? Do you think that they can just, out of nowhere, create new outfits or even armors? What if, which is most likely, they are already working at full capacity and just can’t produce more stuff?
You have to keep in mind that we do get weekly gemstore updates. Someone has to create that stuff.

Dungeons are a good method of making money.

Sinifair.1026:

kokiman.2364:

Well I bought 2 Outfits in GW1 because I wanted to support the game and the development of GW2.
The first outfits came 2009, that was like 2 years after their last release (EotN).
Also at that point we were under the illusion that the gemstore would only feature cosmetic items.

And now? I don’t buy outfits at all, they are lazy, they remove the “get creative” part of armors and they still have clipping issues. Funnily enough I’m sitting on 800gems for like 2 months now because they haven’t added anything worthwhile (like armorsets).

There are items of no historical value, which simply looks nice. I have no problem seeing those as Gem Store items and as a source of revenue for the devs.
- Then there are items such as the Balthazar armor set that presents a setup for some seriously awesome dungeons, open world boss fight area or just in general some amazing content.

I can’t help but feel this is a waste of potential.
- I didn’t buy the other non-historical-valued ones just so the ones that presents awesome opportunities for ANet to just be Gem Store items as well.

I totally agree with you on that one. I also thought that they would use the balthazar armor for something “bigger” and not just as a gemstore outfit, but hey maybe we are wrong and it will be an npc only outfit One can always dream, right?

You should definitely disable auto target.

tanto.4217:

well you do have these timers though, but thats about the only timers there is ;-)

http://guildwarstemple.com/dragontimer/events.php?serverKey=119&langKey=1

Maybe you should have read what he wrote, he was looking for META event timers.
Also, there is no need to rely on “3rd party” that are always a security risk when you can just use the /wiki world boss command ingame.

The personal story supposedly ends with the cleansing of orr. Finding a group for arah story mode isn’t a big deal, just use the LFG tool.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mystic_Forge/Material_Promotion

Promotion of tier 5 yields an average return of 6.91 items.

At that point you just have to do the math. I’m pretty sure most of the time it is NOT worth it.

Yeah the game has a healthy population and you should find enough people playing WvW on your server.

Rangelost.4857:

I’d prefer Gem Store outfit.

I think it’s pretty cool that ArenaNet are making costumes from the original Guild Wars available in Guild Wars 2.

What I’m wondering is, did players in the original Guild Wars whine so much about these being costumes in the cash store? The Guild Wars 2 forums are getting unreal. Every little thing ArenaNet adds into the game causes some sort of riot.

When I made a template mockup I used Menomonia and it pretty much looks like the font that’s been used for the UI.

See screenshot for comparision.

Behellagh.1468:

Then on top of that you need to have a motherboard with their top end chipset for that CPU socket to allow the overclocking and since overclocking requires more power for the CPU, those motherboards are more expensive

That’s wrong.

Is it a good or bad thing that I have never heard of these users before?

Dualbooting isn’t an option?

Lothirieth.3408:

This is why I will only fight Claw on my warrior. It got too annoying on my necro. With shake if off and balanced stance, I’ve enough to deal with the annoyances.

Also at the beginning I wait off on the side until he’s done his 4 fears.

You can dodge those fears and his fear animation is pretty easy to see. Also you can use the pact bazooka (which is most likely the best way to dmg the wall anyways) and block the fear with the heat shield.

Neb.4170:

I just wish the fight was either…

2. Shorter

That’s a player made problem. They rather sit back in P2 and farm champs instead of actually escorting the golem.

Right now I have 50 Tomes and some level 20 scrolls. When the exp will be release I will most likely have enough tomes to insta 80 2 characters but I won’t.

Sooner or later they have to switch to a newer DX version, right…?
