please fix the bug where at the end of every meta event in heart of thorns right after the last boss is killed my game freezes, and requires me to force shut down my pc with 2 unresponsive monitors. the HOT meta events are far too long to crash at the end of about 10 meta event completions now without getting loot for any of them, and these 10+ crashes have made me lose atleast 30 hours of work that was up in the background from me having for force power down my pc. please fix before i delete my account and uninstall one of these times

Poll: Best build for PvP/WvW Roaming?

in Revenant

Posted by: thejoedude.3465

thejoedude.3465

I was running a condi setup in pvp, and when fighting another revenant he was dealing with my condis great with the ventari tablet, that doesnt work as well in wvw but i imagine using the swirling hammers and a food and runes that reduce condi duration in wvw you will do fine with so much condi duration reduction

RIP Mallyx

thejoedude.3465

My condi revenant does great in pve… i keep up constant 15 stacks of torment, 3 to 4 stacks of burning and 2 to 3 stacks of poison with some chill and weakness and confusion thrown in, and its very easy to get up to 30+ stacks of torment and double the burning as before, all condis at once for me typically hit for 4-8k per second on a mob standing still so i say its pretty good, and in pvp its so easy to hold a point with mallyx, just drop a ton of torment feilds on the point and turn your elite on and your in great shape to hold that point, anyone that enters just melts

So i started playing this morning and realized my mouse pointer was invisible in game, i could see my pointer and move it around just fine on my desktop, but in game it was invisible, and i can mouse over stuff and see it highlight under the mouse, but cannot see the pointer, restarted client 4 times now and still cant see the pointer for some reason

Beta feedback (warning, text wall)

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: thejoedude.3465

thejoedude.3465

As ive been playing this beta, i thought i wuld post my thoughts as i did on the last one also~

Verdant brink/masteries/beginning story: the defend amber sandfall was the worst part of this by far, the 5 times i went through it was beyond hoarded by mordrem and i passed it simply by reviving the lord over and over, because there was no other players around to help with it, it needs to be slightly toned down so it is still very difficult but not impossible for one player to do, after that the rest of the story was very good for the slice we saw and the map was very good also, enemies are finally difficult although i wish more of the map was accessible, because there was many large spaces and other areas where it was inaccessible, and it was quite a bit of the map and i hope more will become accessible. Masteries were pretty cool, i only got gliding and bouncing mushrooms done in the time but i do wish it would take a bit longer to do, and it confused me for a while of how i unlock masteries when i first started in verdant brink, and in verdant brink every few minutes i would get huge brown things covering my screen, they looked like massive low res vines although i could walk right through, and most of the events in verdant brink were very bugged to the point they couldnt complete

Revenant: the revenant is still very lacking, it is better than it was before but i still have trouble matching the dps of my power/tank guardian when runnin full glass on the revenant, the shiro legend is not very good still as 2 of the skills are utility, they are good utility but it would be nice to be able to opt out of taking one, the quickness skill is very good and a well balanced skill, and same with jade winds although i found the general opinion of the heal was complete trash. Swords werr alright, but overall with revenant it all needs a dps boost and a better way to tank damage although healing with ventari is far better than healing with any other class

Specializations: the reaper was very cool to see, i really liked my time in the reaper although with its damage on chill i feel the chill needs to do more damage. Chronomancer was very cool, wells were good but the sheild was kind of meh, and the 5th shatter was very cool. Tempest… i really dont see the point of the tempest, it is giving ele yet another support option when it has plenty others although the shouts except the air shout were pretty good, and dragonhunter, the traps are meh, and auto attack on longbow is pretty bad and i feel the skill 5 needs to do a bit more dps but longbow was good.

Stronghold: stronghold is great, the legends are cool, but as soon as the revenant was in spvp, well all weekend all i saw was revenants on doing well against other revenants, and getting completely stomped by every other class every single time, even myself and 2 other revenants were unable to kill a guardian that labled himself as alright, and in another fight a warrior that said he was bad, both 3v1’s and the revenants lost all

There was my impressions of this BWE, ive always been told by devs in every game to when theres a beta, say whats wrong in it so the devs can fix it, so theres what i thought of this BWE in the many many hours that i sat infront of my computer this weekend, and the general opinion that i gather from many people in verdant brink and spvp, although no wvw but overall, good and very cool beta weekend

I moved my tablet during the blizzard when fighting the elemental source, and it has this ugly grey box around it while moving that fixed after, this happened more than once during the blizzard, probably not a good thing so just alerting people of issue

Revenant Lacking in Damage Department

in Revenant

Posted by: thejoedude.3465

thejoedude.3465

As ive been playing the beta, ive noticed that even with full berserkers gear the dps my revenant puts out is very low, especially compared to all my other level 80s, even my guardian which my build isnt meant for high dps, the revenant does not put out any spectacular conditions either and when running with the celestial gear it felt squishier than my ele in knights gear or other classes in full zerker armor. The healing done with staff still feels pretty lacking as all healing does for me, and the weapons feel overall slow and clunky after the first few hours of playing, ive only gotten to run dungeons and other pve so far as wvw on my server is currently about 20 gates of madness guys camping our spawn and i havent got a chance to go in spvp yet so i dont know how it is there yet, although i do feel that as of now the revenant needs overall buffs to most of its skills so they trigger faster and do more damage, and add extra mechanic to some skills such as make the projectile sheild reflect instead of absorb projectiles and other small things like that to make the rev better, because already dungeon groups are asking me every so often to ditch my revenanf and get a different class and ive been kicked many times due to lacking capabilities in the revenant, overall please buff the revenant as its currently sitting a tier lower the other classes in how powerful they are

Tips for a New Ele

thejoedude.3465

if your in pve look up a fresh air build and run that, spvp fresh air is also good, scepter focus is a good one and dagger focus also, if your straight dueling run D/D, and WvW zerging run staff with whatever spec you feel is best, tips from a player with 600 hours clocked and 300 in ele, swap attunements constantly, learn your blast finishers and experiment, i didn’t do this for my first 100 or so hours in the ele but after i started doing that i got a lot better

"No-grind philosophy"

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: thejoedude.3465

thejoedude.3465

Gw2 might still have a bit of grinding for stuff in it but it is so much better than many other games out there, as in i have a few where you have to spend atleast 4 hours of hard grinding using op methods to get 1/10 of the way to a new item. Then upgrade it takes even longer, gw2 we barely have to gring anything, and its fun and interesting grind too imo

What they should do is let players take part in events to rebuild the citg. Give them halloween and merry wintersday type rewards and im sure lions arch could or should be rebuilt in a month or so… if they give decent, but not super good rewards and decent acheivement points im sure loads of people would do the events to rebuild

this is the 4th time this has happened to me where i can connect and load game updates but when i try to connect and log into the game it gives me the same error message that i could not connect to the server to log in. this only happens when i switch from using my home wifi connection to my friends LAN connection and back. typically when i switch like i just described it takes 3+ hours for the game to realize theres nothing stopping it from connecting to the game server and to let me log in. every time it recommends to reboot the game engine and i do that every time, along with reboot my computer and wifi connection and it still takes 3+ hours to finally connect. is there anything i can do about this issue?
