Guild Wars 2

Thanks guys! I appreciate the help

Belzebu.3912:

Better trinkets and put runes in those armors will improve your damage by a good margin.

Also, the stats are all very defensive and in case of your ele just wrong, but still … the runes and trinkets alone will improve it.

What you are experiencing is not only players with better gear, they also have better builds and the synergy of the gear + build makes the damage WAY higher.

Any quick recommendations to my builds then?

Okay, you guys asked for my equipment, Here they are.
(Sorry if I leave out information. Still new to all this. Expect builds to be scatterbrained or illogical) I really like the weapons I’m using, so I would like it if those don’t change. Also, I have not unlocked any elite specializations yet

If you need anything more, let me know

Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of Silverwastes, HoT and such, and I’ve noticed how hard it is to kill enemies quickly. I’ll be sitting there hacking away at the ankles of a Modrem Husk, taking away maybe 3%-4% of his HP with every hit. And then some other player will just run up and in 5 or so hits have killed it and then moves on to the next one.
How to players get their stats that good? Is it crafted gear? ultra powerful runes? incredible stat booster consumables?

For the record, I have yet to try crafting much and all my gear has been purchased from Tier III Culture merchants or relatively high end items on the BL marketplace, and I have put Runes and sigils etc. on my equipment. I’m not sure what else I could do. unless Crafting is really that good.

TL;DR: I see players doing massive damage. How do I go about doing something like that?

Had a similar problem not to long ago. As Black Sun Empress said, go into where it’s currently stored, and either copy it over, or do what I did, delete anything GW2 related off that drive, then just do a fresh install on your new drive.

Okay, Did a basic search in the File explorer for my C drive for anything relating to Guild Wars 2. Deleted it, and that cleared up 10 GB on my C drive. Thanks a lot! I’m not sure if there are any “Hidden files” still left though.

The other stuff just relates to my system and other stuff that doesn’t seem important to the task at hand. If you need the entire thing, let me know and I’ll post it.
So, basically, because there are two different root files for GW2, it can’t uninstall?

So I’m in a bit of a tricky situation now. Allow me to give you some background context:
About a year ago, when I got my new computer it had 2 harddrives on it. 1 128GB SSD, and 1 1TB HDD. Thinking it would fit on the SSD, I began to download Guild wars 2 there, so my game would load and run a lot faster. However, when It got to around 75%, I checked the remaining space on the drive and realized that I would not have enough space if I let it continue, So instead, I stopped the download, and restarted it again on the HDD.Downloaded it, started playing.
Now, My computer gives me a message saying my SSD is full, and that I should clean it. I look at what’s on it, and it says that Guild wars 2 is still there and taking up a pretty large chunk of space. So I decided that needed to go. I looked on the drive, and couldn’t find anything relating to Guild Wars 2, and when I figured I could just uninstall, I got a message saying that a serious error occurred and that I should send the error report to Anet.
And just today, my game crashed and a message came up that read something along the lines of “Your C drive is full, and Guild wars 2 cannot run until you clear up more space”

So how do I fix this? hopefully not a complete wipe of my computer, though that may be in order…

So, a quick question, which is probably obvious.

I’m moving halfway across the world for college soon, but I still want to be able to play with my friends here.
I’ve heard about the “Megaserver” but I’m not too sure how it works.
So my question is, If I’m at my college, can I still play with my friend who’s on the other side of the planet on the same server? Or is it only through Region? (NA, EU, etc.)
