Guild Wars 2

And the GW2 Repair tool doesn’t fix the launcher crash, it crashes as well!

Whole patch downloaded, game crashes at launcher, I don’t know what to do, can’t play anymore

I hope Anet pay attention to this thread, something must be done soon, specially about Lyssa, this is really annoying. There is A LOT to do in this game, people don’t want to be rooted in Orr maps for hours waiting for the assault event, is absurd.

Lol this mace is really ugly, the complexity of design resembles a lot of gemstore skins but the former are at least beautiful – most of.

If next legendary is as ordinary like that, better off none to come so soon.

I guess it has been two weeks already and nothing have been done about it, last night I did - tried- Lyssa again and actually couldn’t finish it as the crashes were as frequent as usual and everybody gave up.

I remember there was some broad thread about crashing I can no longer find – funny how forum search mechanism is still useless after four years – but this issue is so persistent and specific it should be really considered apart from “random” crashes and should get a specific thread referring specifically to Lyssa.

No official word from Anet on it, I don’t want to waste my time doing it again for nothing, what are you doing about it?

I don’t see a zerk ranger using a shortbow, but I think the LB is still better in all scenarios.
I’m not even playing HoT yet but I’m running a condition build now and loving it.

The shortbow however is not that interesting, only considering these scenarios:

- Against single foes
- When you are equipping condition drakes that are strong enough to distract the enemy, then you can mass hit the enemy by the back to stack bleeding
- Using Quickening Zephyr, then you can stack up to 20 bleeding, the pulse takes the enemy down fast.

Maximus, I do set both GW2 and GW2-64 to use NVidia graphic card in Nvidia control panel (as per attached image in 1st post). If it works there wont be this topic.

Just to ensure it would really work with NVIDIA in all considered aspects, I selected everything I could in the list of settings because most of them are set for “global settings”. No idea if that is really necessary but I did it anyway.

Maximus.8376:

It’s because the 64bit version is running your motherboards onboard gpu. You need to force it in the Nvidia control panel and it’ll be fine.

Thank you very much for this. There are two .exe now and NVIDIA was just set for the standard one, the “-64bit” was not included. Cheers!

^Thank you for the tips! I’ll try it as soon as I get the time as I don’t know how to force the application to run on 32.

Edit: There is another thread about it, so I just find out it is very simple actually to solve.

The game now has two “.exe” files, the “-64” one is actually not set to work with NVIDIA or whatever video card you are using.

All you have to do is open the NVIDIA settings dialog box and and click in “add” to select the “-64” exe file to the list. Once it is select just set it to work with NVIDIA and voila.

You will find the “Gw2-64.exe” file in the game folder

Hello there, I’ve been playing the game a lot recently and today, after the May 17th patch, the game just suddenly got its fps rate as low as 8 fps. There is nothing else running and stealing RAM, my internet connection though its a bit slower than usual but I have no lag whatsoever in the game, but the fps still persists.

This is really weird, nothing has changed besides the game patch in my computer. Thank you for reading.

Personally, I’ve only ever seen Infinite Light wielded once. When you look at the modest appearance and lodestone cost the reason becomes apparent. That’s a fair pile of orichalcum you need as well!

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Infinite_Light

I got one when charged lodestone was not that expensive as it is now, but I think mostly people would prefer spend charged lodestones on Bolt, that’s why. And as Daishi said, you don’t see it that often, that’s why I love it

ps.: I’ve never seen around a Stygian blade probably for the same reason as Infinite Light: 1 stack of powerful blood. It works great though for my Necro and my savage cannibal Mesmer

Death, good. As someone who has recently lost a brother and a friend to suicide, that tagline turns my stomach every time I hear it, so may the stars guide you just doesn’t bother me at all.

Well, that was dark, darker than reading Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar in this context. Sorry for your loss.

however, salvaging exotics is worthless. I tried with 10 exotics, got 3 sections, is really ridiculous.

I don’t know what Anet is planning, forcing players to gamble on MF instead of motivating people to craft, aka, actually playing? Many newcomers will have to master some of the 3 armor crafting professions at least ’til 400, and they require at some point tons of this leather and gossamer scraps.

I hope they fix the drop ratio for this, crafting ascended or exotic armor was not ever so expensive like it is now.

How is using the TP any less “playing the game” than crafting? I know people who can’t stand to craft, but love the TP (and vice versa, of course).

The drop rate for T6 mats from salvaging exotic armor has been the same for years. And for those same years, people complained that T6 mats were undervalued (often vendor …or below, when that was still possible).

So one could argue that ANet has finally fixed things so that T6 cloth & leather finally have value.

The thing is: there’s no fundamental reason why prices should remain the same year after year. Therefore, there’s really nothing to fix. The TP allows me to play whatever content I like, sell the stuff I don’t want, and buy stuff I do. It also enables those who don’t care about crafting to earn gold by selling their mats to folks willing to pay so that they don’t have to farm specific mats.

I was talking about the Mystic Forge, not the Trade Post.
Yes, playing in the TP is playing the game for sure, you can invest a X amount of effort to get exactly that back or more if you know how to play the economics. With the MF however is pure gamble, is like casino, all about luck and players often lose much more than what they gain in return. But sure, there is always someone who loves even that kind of thrill, but most people will only use MF as a last resource, no wonder is called Mystic Toilet because most people hate it.

On the other hand, the problem about getting this material on the TP doesn’t sound right for newcomers, it is a really basic material for playability, is key for exotic and ascended armor. Is not like it is part of a Legendary which is optional for players to craft solely for the skin. Is my opinion that 30G is too much for new players to get an exotic armor, I don’t think that is fair. Now how one will be able to farm valuable material to trade if they barely have a decent armor to fight. Getting killed and downed all the time is as tedious as the MF.

Ascended armor for instance was already a laborious and expensive task, and it was ok like that, now it is just way too much. You’ll need 300 squares to craft the insignias, it is over 120 G with the prices right now sky rocketing to almost 50s!.

And just for the record, yes, crafting is tedious but if people want to get the best from the game they will crave for ascended armor and weapons, and you can’t buy that on TP. At this point if you are at the end game stage with only an exotic armor well that is a strange decision.

There is an activation key for Heart of Thorns separately or will I have to start a new account with the core game + HoT? @@

General Health.9678:

Rapta.1452:

For new players this is an absurd amount of gold to spend, and they are being priced out by players who do have the means to farm all day to buy these materials.

There’s always temple armour which takes karma instead of cash.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Temple_armor

You can also buy exotic armor with Dungeon tokens, however, salvaging exotics is worthless. I tried with 10 exotics, got 3 sections, is really ridiculous.

I don’t know how far the team got with the designing of the actual weapons.

They didn’t get anywhere, it was all just smoke, mirriors and broken promises.

Is this really the truth? If it is, is quite amateurish of them.
I would understand if they needed a lore chapter completed in mind from where they would feed off to design the weapons, following a theme, but if they do not come even with a pre-design that is just lazy creation, obnoxious I would say for people who bought the game.

Most users are just looking for the skin anyway, I would be completely fine to follow
the old school system of recipes and collect mats if I really wanted a legendary, but when you don’t even have an idea where to start from that is offensively ridiculous.

Mike, did you consider just including the weapons (the recipe for the skins per se) in the game and postponing the journey to acquire them for later dates?

As many other users already pointed out, I believe most people are mostly interested in the prestige of the skins than the journey itself, even though the latter would make the acquisition more accessible, people would take it easier as we would only have to wait more for the story wise part of the weapon, and not the item.

I would be ok to wait longer for an easier path rather than waiting for the whole thing, I believe the possibility of acquisition is more important than the means to get it. Half a promise is better than no promise fulfilled whatsoever.

I finished the chapter and that was already enough, though I had already did it before with the same character, I guess it was before the deployment of the challenge mote in the game, thank you nonetheless!

someone who did enjoy the notorious season 1 more than season 2 because of mindless grind is not a reliable source for complaints whatsoever

Hello everybody, lately I’ve been trying to complete some achievements of the LS S2 and so far I couldn’t find the challenge mote on any of the instances I’ve done on chapter Echoes of the Past. I did already complete the S2 but not with the same character (soma chapters I ran with a different toon). My question is, do I need to complete the story with one character in full to enable the challenge mote to show up?

Also, I have completed some achievements though only one of them poped up right after completion, others did not yet and I’ve read around that I have to finish the chapter to get them completed, which makes no sense currently with this single one that was completed (Exposed Weakness). I wonder if there is a bug here or what, kinda confusing

Don’t know if anyone posted before about the easter egg on Hidden Arcana story, but there is a book talking about “object trapping spirts”, I thought that was a clear indicator we would have some kind of ritualist magic back, and it seems like that, a mix with Dervish too, thought those shadow steps are so thief alike Oo

If they are going to take 3 months or so to unveil Dry Top, around the time Elona is completely explorable the game will be more than outdated and no one will care about it. This Living Story prioritization is really killing this game.

As cool as all these ideas about the Realm of Torment, Abaddon, Menzies, Razah, et cetera… I think you’re all setting yourselves up for a major disappointment. I think this story will, unfortunately, go about with us following the footsteps of Scarlet to understand Mordremoth. If something from the original Guild Wars lore pops up, like any of the aforementioned names (or even Mursaat for that matter) then I will be pleasantly surprised. However, I don’t see it happening.

Not trying to be a pessimist or anything. I’m just trying to be realistic and I want to make sure that people don’t hype up the season too much. It led to a huge disappointment with Season One.

have you already done the story of this episode? Well, whatever, feel very surprised. Varesh was mentioned lol so is not like people are hyping up anything, they are just using their brains.

Problem is, many people never played or heard about Guild Wars before, so they think most of these things are overthinking. However, as the story unveils, It is clearly showing it is not overthinking.

Thank you all for the laugh, truely.

I think its interesting OP, that the RoT and scarlet drawings overlap so much and share so much. it could be related or it could just be that Anet recycles old things for profit -cough-…

The rest of you tho, bat kitten crazy. I urge you to calm yourselves and go re-read lore… then apply logic to your predictions.

If your theory has more than a Single “But what if” in it, it’s not a good theory. its really not, Menzies enslaving the elder dragons to rule cantha.. litterally.. makes no sense.. none..

Abbadon is dead.. dead dead.. like dead.. get over it.

And to the above, no, it’s clearly been shown to be over thinking far too many times over to be thought of as anything else. Anet mentions Varresh ? What was the context? oh yeah.. in context of getting dumber things to do dirty work for you.. something scarlet did and Varresh did and was herself, a part of in both cases…

It’s not a revelation, its a passing nod for Gw1 players still playing Gw2…

I understand what you mean because people might try to wrap too tight and right their theories, but on the other hand I have no idea what is your point about it all because you are doing your own theories based on simply… your disregard for the writing and I can’t even understand why, since rarely Anet underuses the details they hint through the game.
During LS1 people did “crazy” theories that proved to be mostly right, assuming the plot is getting thicker this season, and the story is being better written, the only thing too extreme I have read so far is the Cantha thing. The rest is not that much surrealistic to be true.

About Abaddon, who knows… as you said, he was clearly dead/defeated, some people believe he might be back in some way, others think might be Menzies, or it might be something else completely new. These things are theories and people thought these things before this episode come up, before Varresh being mentioned, for example, but you believe she being mentioned is just gibberish of some sort…. you believe she was brought up only to get “dumber things to do dirty work for you..” and " could just be that Anet recycles old things for profit -cough-…".
You know, “could be” is just the same as “maybe if”…. the irony is, you are probably the laziest person I have seen following the story because you are really underthinking things lol
People guessed very right during season one the Ley Lines plot much before it was revealed. When the last 3 episodes of LS1 were up we all knew already what was all that about. But you know, people were just OVERTHINKING right?

Take a look, 7 months ago, people were already guessing the Jungle Dragon, the ley lines and the Maguuma wastes.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/lore/lore/Connecting-the-dots-DO-NOT-TOUCH-towers

YOU KNOW, OVERTHINKING! hahaha!

In those therms, I don’t understand your big laugh, is your grumpy expression of unjustified disregard for the writing of the story?

As people pointed before, that drawing in Scarlets’ room – and then what shows in the last cut scene – reminds a lot the Realm of Torment map from Guild Wars, but as we read in the journal, the orbs are representing the elder dragons.

I watched carefully the cinematic again and it seems Mordremoth is the orb in the left-center.
In the Realm of Torment map, that orb represents the zone Gate of Pain

http://wiki.guildwars.com/images/thumb/8/85/Realm_of_Torment_map.jpg/800px-Realm_of_Torment_map.jpg

If this is just a coincidence by Anet reusing drawing designs I would say is really a clumsy one Oo….

Otherwise, the connection is getting intriguing since Scarlet was reading about Varesh, who spawned the Vortex to the Realm of Torment in Elona.

Since the Realm of Torment is an area similar to The Mists, “astral” alike, only thing I could guess from it all is, are the dragons’ consciousness inside the Realm while they are asleep ?

The Pale Tree in the middle of all of them only make sense to me because she has also an “astral” alike aspect, The Dream, which, like the Vortex, can bring entities/beings out of it to Tyria’s common dimension. The sylvari’s consciousness are drag from The Dream and then they awake, instead of getting born.

I wonder now if the dragon wants to kill/absorb the Pale Tree because she stole his minions and is, by his point of view, corrupted by Ventari, or, at the same time, he wants to use the Pale Tree as a new Vortex to bring something out of it?
(some people believe the sylvari are supposed to be Mordy’s equivalent to a risen army of Zaithan, tough I don’t know if this is confirmed)

The dragon seems already awake but, what is within the Gate of Pain then to come out? Or… does it have any relevance?

ps.:
I’ve seen theories around about Menzies trying to control Modremoth, since it is believed he is somewhere inside the Realm of Torment during Guild Wars. So my bet would be, he is inside the Gate of Pain and wants to come out to Tyria. The dragon would open the gates for him killing the Pale Tree.

This is related to lag, your ping must be perfect, any package loss will result in failure of the skill. I don’t think there is a simple fix because is a target skill. If you do have package loss in the mid air, the game won’t be able to get back that command that was just lost, and you will fall.
The sun aspect works in the same way as I many times got stuck in the mid of the quicksand for that reason.

The further from US you live, the more package loss you might have and the blame here falls mostly on ANET because theirs servers are really not up to all tasks they want them to be.
Some ppl living inside US also have the issue often because either their connection is not that perfectly stable as the game requires or because the servers are flooded with players in peak hours.

GW2 is not a game that demands a high broadband capacity, but it requires perfect stability.

I had these issue many times during the new Labyrinthine patch because of both reasons (far location, unstable ping). But on Dry Top it seems the lag is all on flooded servers, it is ANet problem and they already said they are solving it.

ps.: just for the record. ANet servers have a problem to manage incoming and outcoming data packages since the beginning, but they often try to say the problem is entirely on your connection. As the game population increase this is getting more clear, they can’t handle their increasing public. I just hope they stop putting the blame on players and try to also upgrade their hardware and not only the game LS.

Then I am done with this game. I’m simply not gonna go through a replication of season 1, where this drip feed of two week content that can be finished in a few hours which is hyped to enormity yet delivers jack crap! And I say that with a heavy heart because I truly believe this game had enormous potential…But they are simply not delivering.

Anybody could have seen everything there was to see in Dry Top within a few hours. Add in the fact that IF you wanted to bother with the achievements you had to go through the story twice yet you cannot skip it. Anet, let me be clear when I say this “Achievements are NOT CONTENT”!

Imagine they had started season 2 with at leats 3 new FULL maps and a new Dungeon with 3 paths and then said that’s your lot for at least 3 months? Wouldn’t that have been better and more exciting? This drip drip tap feed of "content " is absolutely NO different from LS1 and It’s like they are not listening.

Notice the only dev input on this forum is for people praising the new season…Fair enough..Keep your Ostrich in the sand attitude..there are PLENTY of games out there…

I loved this game…but unless I see PROPER DEEP content then yeh..I’m done and I know for a fact I’m not alone.

The game might not be delivering for you, but I have to say this is what I want from this game. I don’t get to play all that much so when I do it’s nice I can see everything in a few hours. No achievements are not content, but then you don’t have to do them. They are there if you want to. There is enough to keep you busy. I refuse to believe you have everything from this chapter. Every achievement, item, recipe. There are plenty of things to get. The content is only as deep as you make it. Have you spoken to every NPC? Listened to there conversations?

I don’t mean to sound rude or anything, but when ever I see a thread like this I hope one of two things happen. You get what you want from the next patch or you do leave, then there is one less post like this on the forum. I see the same thing from the same people all the time and they are still here. Again no wanting to sound rude. It just bugs me when people think saying they’ll stop playing the game will do anything. ANet will not change there plans for one person or a handful. If you can prove there is more than a handful of unhappy players then maybe you’ll achieve something.

Just remember games are ment to be fun. If your not having fun stop playing for a bit, just log in to get the chapters, then a few months down the line you might want to give the game another chance, and maybe it will be more to your liking. I did it with Guild Wars 2. After my bug filled exsperiance with the Southsun launch I stayed away from the game till the bazaar. Then I enjoyed the game a lot more. I’m still not a fan of whinters day, but that’s just me. And I’m sure not going to tell ANet to change it just because I don’t like it. The game will go on with out me.

Is their, not “there”.

the worst part about this lag is how flawed the zephyrites’ skills work, the lightning aspect kitten me off right at the entrance, I can’t jump to the stone ahead and it should simply work because is a TARGET skill, this is quite ridiculous. I also can’t remember how many times I died trying to jump to the other side of the quicksand lake inside the Inquest cave. The sun aspect also stuck in the middle of the quicksand sometimes.
This new patch is cool but I guess nothing can be really good in this game ahem…

yes, has been broken like that for a while I dunno why

Spazzmatica.9704:

I might as well add that more medium chest armor that doesn’t go past the the thighs or waist would be nice as well. Because cloaks are cool but I don’t imagine the most agile rangers or thieves wearing cloaks…

is not even a cloak, most of them are some weird trashy style of a male gabardine coat lol and always on leather, which makes most of dyes awfully looking, like black. Even abyss looks like kitten in most of medium armour.

One more lol
Today I just realized I would take a ridiculous amount of time to craft an ascended weapon because is absurdly ridiculous now to gather dragonite ores, temples are being farmed in a wrong way, and the not disruptive way that people used to farm IS nerfed, even the TWO BEST LIVING STORY PATCHES ARE F********
Then I realized I don’t even need an ascended weapon because I dont play WvW and what is left to do in pve?

What shocks me the most is, Anet thinks we are in the 90s? Within 1 year the graphics of this game will start to look obsolete, the game system will also look too rigid and old I am pretty sure – and it already is in part with the weapon skills. 2 years and that Tyria map looks annoying. We reached Orr but Aurora Glade right next Brisban Wildland is still an unknown area, makes as much sense as kittening upwards in your face.

I always wanted to play this game to know what would happen to the world of Tyria in a promising future, now this future looks as far as my retirement. When they decide to introduce new zones and continents there will be much superior mmo’s around. meh this kitten.

I feel sorry for you, but on the other I am quite happy I don’t have too see anymore a festival of lack of good taste and tacky decisions to be flamboyant from players who have no sense of fashion or originality at all, like a cosplay of Virgin Mary would be any interesting.

Btw, people should try to coordinate the colours of their luxurious and exquisite legendaries with their armors. I see so many people with legendaries dressed like beggars or morons, is dreadful.

I just would like to prove for some people who think the temples are open all the time because people want to “help one each other” (yeah, some loonies believe that) how much selfish is the interest of people who don’t let the chain on temples keep going.

I just tried to do Dwayna, asked politely twice, and there was a group on the top of the temple farming the area. Not surprisingly, there was this player called Hero Charmander who admitted they are there to farm. Ironically, he even pinged his collection of legendaries.

I attached some screens of the Honorable group and their leader speech in the chat.

I believe if Anet is nerfing everything around, from Queensdale to Frostgorge, would be fair they do the same with Orr because there is no more temples with these bands of charged lodestone farmers.

I mean, really, in the last 2 weeks I did Dwayna and Lyssa only once. This is just completely kittened up and kittening me off.

I just did Claw of Jormag, struggle for 25 minutes only to get the dragonites. When I get the glorious chest, well… I got at least one Ascended Armor Chest, really cool, woo hoo!, but, where are my dragonites? lol
There were no dragonites. Since both are ascended items, I was wondering, only one of them will drop by time because of that reason? Or Claw doesn’t drop anymore dragonites?

Dwayna is happening now and I posted an invitation on lfg

I just realized there is something quite useful we can do to help one each other. If you are in Orr and one of the temples pops, even if you already done it:

• at least once for the day you could warn people here in the forums in a thread specific for that, the event has just popped, making yourself available for people to add you in party.

• set at least 1 slot free available in your party for someone who needs to travel to the zone be able to tp to your instance

• the person just have to right-click you. while in party, and select the option to join you in the version of the Orr zone where the event is happening.

• when the person finally arrived in the instance, he/she can leave the group and post here is available, restarting the party cycle.

OR……

• people could simply get used to do these announcements in the LFG tool in-game, which would be much more simple and handy.

For now, I’ll use the LFG tool if anyone is interested in joining for a temple so just check the OpenWorld tab and keep the good work going!

Brother Grimm.5176:

Have you even TRIED to request in map chat that you need the capture events to obtain a Trait? Happened at 2 different temples in ML this morning and plenty of players showed up and waited for the event, then ran about for a bit as Risen flooded the area and we all ported out….. Worked like a charm to start the Capture event over.

Is it how things should work…no. Anet needs to either rethink the ways the Traits are earned or needs to ramp up the defense difficulty until it fails on a regular basis (no matter how many players defend).

BTW, all the “trash” Exotic items at the Temples have different STATS so there IS a valid reason to have more than one of them OPEN. Despite what the “reasons” you feel the Temples are OPEN, having these items available is valuable to some players (maybe not you).

That wasn’t sarcasm, it was EXAGGERATION (exactly what I said isn’t needed here). From what you just stated it STILL sounds like you are claiming to have witnessed players extorting other players to not block events…..Have you or have you NOT witnessed this? Comparing that to selling Dungeon path runs brings almost all you observations into question. One is a Service (that I don’t condone) and the other is Extortion (that should be reported).

Sure there are nasty players in the game, but expecting them to be nasty and unhelpful might not be the best way to approach a problem and get a solution.

yes I did ask, and there were ppl sitting on Dwayna stairs to kill the champ, they were like, “whatever”, maybe didn’t even read what I said. Before I post here I opened a thread somewhere else coz a player told me she was sitting there the whole day waiting for it, ASKING ppl a favor. I just didn’t sit there like her but had the same experience.

About what I said, please READ carefully :P

look:
I said

“soon ppl charge extra fee for you be able to do the events?”
– interrogative sentence (not affirmative, I am sarcastically asking) and yes, you can think is exaggerate, since you think the situation is not that horrible, but I just wanted to underline I didn’t affirm anything, see I said:

“soon”, as “what comes next?”
– I am not stating anything, never did, that’s why I said I wouldn’t feel surprised IF that happened.

What I said about the karma gear is simply by the fact I have never seen ppl spending +200 karma points in an rabid, dire, whatever set they could earn with less than 10 gold in TP. 10 gold you earn in 2 days if you are a quite naive or lazy player, in 3 horus if you run dungeons. 200 karma however……. weeks?

Is not like you have berserker gear there to buy with karma (which costs a lot in TP) and for that matter I really don’t believe ppl are keeping temples open for that reason, really… cmon…. lol this game is all about loot and there are plenty when you break the chain event to keep going.

Brother Grimm.5176:

vladracul.6798:

I hope Anet is aware about it and doing something about it, this is absurd, ridiculous. This game is becoming a mafia wars, some ppl control the champs in queensdale, others the temples, soon ppl charge extra fee for you be able to do the events?

Well let’s not over-exaggerate the situation by decrying how HORRIBLE the situation is when what is being done is quite useful to the majority of players. Being able to obtain Obsidian Shards and/or Exotic karma items whenever you want is a nice change from having to search down an Open Temple and guest to the correct Server (and hope you get in on time that was previously the norm.

Not being able to earn the new Traits in a timely fashion is inconvenient and Anet needs to find a solution, but there are other options to obtain the Traits.

Nobody can stop anyone from attacking any Champ in the game…..there is NO control and you CAN close the chat window. Not saying your actions might not upset some people (and yes…that can be entertaining in it’s own right), but using the word CONTROL is in NO way valid. If you are intentionally disrupting the “train”, you do run the risk of Anet deciding you should be punished for griefing when it gets reported.

I have no idea what you are talking about people “charging an extra fee”….. Anyone trying to extort money from another player needs to be reported and I feel confident that Anet will take action (as long as a screenshot of the conversation is attached).

As mentioned above, if you can get enough players to simply run about in the defense areas, the event WILL fail due to the sheer number of enemies that will spawn.

I don’t get the logic of this tactics to group dozens of people around the temples to make the defense events fail. Oi? I am not Oprah Winfrey, how am I going to drag a bunch of unknown ppl around me to do what I want?
Wait…. IF I COULD do that, I could also successfully have my demands on keeping the chain events going on attended …

About helping each other, that is when you keep Balthazar uncontested 24/7, there you have your obsidian shards + the skins/gear. You don’t need any other open temple 24/7 coz they all give the same karma items – except for the kittenty back pieces – but no obsidian. However, sincerely, who needs armageddon skins or crappy backpieces??? do you think people are keeping temples open all day coz of THAT? How naive …
And what about dragonite ores and traits? People need that much more than…… armageddon skins, pls… lets get real…

Today, +3 hours running Malchor’s Leap around the temples, on their “post-victory” state, I think I know very well why people are letting the temples always open, and is not about helping each other, is about farming some quite expensive material.

If you know what kind of materials are more likely to drop after conquering back these temples then you know what I am talking about. 3 hours there and I got 1 of these quite aimed materials plus 1 other of minor tier. I won’t say it out loud otherwise this will become a curse ^^’.

I have no idea what you are talking about people “charging an extra fee”….. Anyone trying to extort money from another player needs to be reported and I feel confident that Anet will take action (as long as a screenshot of the conversation is attached).

ahem, let me introduce you, Brother Grimm this is sarcasm :p
But sincerely, people sell paths in dungeons, do you think is that absurd they start to charge fees to let you do events in Dredgehaunt Cliffs for example? lol I wouldn’t feel surprised, people can and ARE often quite nasty in this game.

Maybe I’m completely wrong here, but these traits everyone is talking about tied to these temple events, are these the same traits I unlocked with gold the day the patch dropped? I do a lot of sPvP, so I just clicked on them, saw I could unlock them with a piddly some of gold and unlocked them. Are there other traits I’m unaware of that are only unlockable via these events, because even though they said I had to kill some mob from some event, I was still able to unlock them via gold.

yes, and some of them I already did with gold too, but well, suppose you have +5 alts, its a ton of money. Also, there is another problem about the temples. they are the ones that give more dragonite ores. Ppl doing ascended gear will take twice the time to craft their vision crystals coz other world bosses drop ridiculous amounts (from 5 to 15) while one single temple boss drops 30 dragonites. You need 500 to craft 1 vision crystal.

I hope Anet is aware about it and doing something about it, this is absurd, ridiculous. This game is becoming a mafia wars, some ppl control the champs in queensdale, others the temples, soon ppl charge extra fee for you be able to do the events?

So, there is no timer that can predict when they are going to happen, I wonder if there are some dynamics going on that I don’t know about to do these events. Guilds scheduling one or other temple after some of the world bosses in the megaserver schedulle?

These days I just noticed I don’t do any temple for months, then I realized the lack of a timer was helping for at least 1 month lol
Today I went to Malchor’s Leap and asked about in the map chat, someone told me she was sitting there for the whole day waiting for an opportunity, and the worst is the fact people always do events to prevent the chain to restart.

Basically that’s it for Orr? Sit there or good luck?

You know there is no reason to be rude to the people posting these threads. If they are that horrible to you why do you read them and comment in them.

I think there are many ways that Anet can re-imagine the Ritualist class. Even with spirits. I don’t believe like most that it could ever come back like it was, but just like the mesmers, the engineers, and the guardians; classes can be reshaped.

This guy’s got the right of it. Classes can be modified to fit the shape of GW2. That said, a revamped Ritualist would be really cool. I loved their armor sets. I wish we’d get more of that kinda tribal fusion style in GW2.

P.S. – Google image search “tribal fusion” if you want to see what I mean.

if they could at least bring back their armour would be amazing, I love specially the helms very much.

I had this issue twice, and if someone leaves your party (to be reinvited later) you should be able to enter the instance.

problem is, I type this kind of request everytime I log in the game to run dungeons lol, I copy and paste every time I get into a new party lol (i dont have guildies to do dungeons with me, is all tru lfg tool) so, MOST of the times, people get suspicious, or they are in a rush, and they just kick me to get someone else who doesn’t have the problem, because they don’t know me, they don’t know the issue, they are up for a speedrun and out of time to get to work, school, etc.
Now, imagine you are about to switch in the end of AC, no one will leave the instance so you can get in with your alt.

I have the story mode in all dungeons and I could open the instance all times to avoid it, however, if I want to switch at the end to an alt lvling – which is the case these days – I can’t either way.

Seerstrange.4723:

Same Ive never got it next time it happens to you get some screens unless you can be specific enough and show examples anet will never fix it, well, even if you are they woun’t but hell its worth a try.

More specific than I have already been would be If I do a tutorial video for a 5 year old Well I have a screen of the code (attached) and I gave them the code, which speaks for more than thousand words when you are an engineer of software. Maybe they are too busy with China lol

But well, my point is, is really awful when you are so dependent of other ppl in this game for technical things like that. If there is a problem with my game, for example, I want to solve it but since other people had it too, unhappily is not my fault as it seems.

it is a message of the kind “your world is full”, code 33:9:18:1673:101 (there is not even in the offical list of bugs available in the wiki). It DOESN’T work:
1- to log
2- restart game
3- leave party, reinvited
4- change to alt
5- guest in the zone were they are all guesting

only things that work are, either I open the instance or the opener have to log off, let me in, and then log in again. I am often kicked from parties coz I have to ask that and ppl get “???” ’coz they thin the instance will reset. but it is the only thing that works lol – btw, someone who had the same issue taught me that ingame.

I filled in a ticket, no answer so far.

they won’t mind your post because there is a rule you have to post different issues in different posts – yeah, I know, doesn’t make too much sense when, for example, all your issues are related to wvw or dungeons, they want it all split.

I’ve seen a thread around the forums already 1 year old about this issue that is really making my gameplay in dungeons ridiculous,
If everybody is already in, and I am the last one to get in the instance, i will get this code error 39 and doesn’t matter what I do, I won’t be able to get in unless who opened the instance logs off and in again.

Is anyone on Anet doing something about it? I guess many people just handled it asking the opener to log, but I can’t do this all the time I am running a dungeon and eventually I have to switch or get disconnected, specially with player I don’t know and are in a rush.

On the other hand, is there any autonomous way for me to handle it by myself?

a bowbear ranger farming, this is what I call wasting of time and resources of a human being, no matter only a bot could be that brainless to make that kind of ridiculous choice to farm

If you are struggling too much for Twilight, my tip is:
1- Open Google.com, Image search
2- Type “universe”
3- pre-set the research for HD results
4- pick up the best and most pleasant picture you see of a red supernova or something like that
5- stare at this beautiful image of our universe, for a long while.
6- Get back to the game and spend your time crafting something that, actually, has some art design work developed by Anet, like, so many other weapons.
BONUS: Optionally, you can also jut sit in Gendarran Fields and stare at the multitude of Twilights, probably the most common and overrated legendary in the game. Same goes for Eternity and Sunrise.

Seriously man, these legendaries are so OOOVER and common, don’t even bother…..

I just googled “skyrim spiders” and got the chills lol
Your friend would be in panic and down all the time during Malrona fight

I don’t understand very well the question, but why don’t you just use both sigils on your shortbow? Probably you don’t know yet, but now you can equip two sigils in two-handed weapons! Yes, is that cool!

However, bursting will always provide more damage doesn’t matter the case, is 6%+ of damage over the damage of any bleeding stack you apply, so if you have ONLY one slot free in your shortbow, use the bursting one.
Earth only benefits from a build where you have really high critical chance, I am not sure you can have a powerful one if you don’t invest 25 or 30 trait points in skirmishing line. And since you are doing a condition damage build, you would have to left you Markmanship line empty to invest in better critical chance with Skirmishing – but doing so you loose a lot of cond. damage traits in that line – including Spotter.

I am not 100% sure about what I am going to say next, but I think you should be careful to do not apply in the same weapon bursting with malice or accuracy, one will cancel the other because they are of the same type – passive effect while weapon is wielded. I think sigils like that don’t stack their effects coz they are from the same category. If you are doing pvp, Agony is a clever choice too. ( I would rather use Bursting and Agony in the shortbow).

Btw, is better if you have a rampager set if you wanna use Sigil of Earth
