crepuscular.9047

looks like someone forgot the lesson from Dragon Stand? I'm all for extended map meta, but I think any map meta (chained) needs to be capped at no longer than an hour... what happened to 'You have been playing for x hours, please take a break.' we had back in GW1?**Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992** suggests you should be having a 5-10 minutes break every 50-60 minutes... seems like all concerns for the health of players was thrown out the window with GW2

hope everyone has bought health insurance to get prescription glasses and cataract treatments

I vote for change the background to EotN's scrying pool chamber, with pet Aurene sleeping in the background

RIP all previous wing backpack / gliders :cry:

like @"Ayrilana.1396 " said, people did not do dungeons for the armors and weapons ... not to mention how actually tedious long it takesPvP and WvW reward tracks are actually so much faster to get the weapons, you can easily get 3 weapons and an armor in 6-8hourspeople farmed dungeons back in the days for the gold you get for completing a dungeon, when Anet nerfed the gold reward everyone left, only going back there if the daily is on, or if they are working on a legendary weaponnot to mention there are certain uncraftable inscriptions and insignia that can only be salvaged from dungeon weapon and armors, those cannot be salvaged from a stat selectable equipment

> Is Gw2, worth coming back to?

that's the design philosophy of GW series, you can just jump back in any time you want and do the latest content

My WoW account is still frozen in time in Cata, I jumped back in last year during the free access weekend, wandered around in Orgrimmar for bout 15mins and uninstalled WoW

i think the bigger question is has she used her illusionary magic to manipulate her other measurements

> When i buy i7 9700K it would be possible to get more FPS? Is worth it?

if you are upgrading just for GW2, not worth it

I upgraded mine from 4770K to 8700K, without changing the GPU, which was a 980Ti, very small FPS increase from my experience, I got extra 2-3FPS at frozen maw, which is a fight where you get ridiculously low fps when shaman summons the snow storm twisters; The primary reason I upgraded was because I was running BDO and GW2 at the same time

9700K is only a tiny bit better than 8700K, 5% according to userbenchmark when it comes to single thread, 8700K is only 9% faster than 6700K with single thread; these are just synthetic, so in real world use you probably see even less

quit because of holo? clearly your friends had seen nothing, there are much worse classes than holo

copy and paste of ideas from one MMO to another is what made the WoW copies so boring, I played SWTOR for few months and quit, the story was pretty good, but the gameplay was so unoriginal to keep me focused

Not sure what you are doing wrong there but it's not the steam client's problem. Also that game is only 37 GB so you don't have the correct information. The disaster is on your computer and/or set-up not on Steam.they must have fixed it, I played BDO since western launch, I remember the forum was flooded with mass complaints from steam users about their update was re-downloading the entire game, Kaoko had to put out a statement that there was nothing they can do because the way steam's update process was different to their in-house (after all they are just a publisher, they need to get Pearl Abyss to fix it)pearl abyss must have done some compression with the remaster, I remember the game folder being ~48GB, but that was long before remaster when I quit playing

\_Edit\_found the tweet, https://twitter.com/bdo_news/status/923168764245499905?lang=en~15GB, looks like the complaints that I remembered were overblown, but still a huge difference, about 10x more in size

> @"KrHome.1920" said:> Valve demands 30% of the revenues generated by your game on steam. That's significant and could already be too much to get any profit out of the "cosmetics" monetizing system GW2 uses.exactly! people yelling out at putting GW2 on steam does not understand the financials that's involved with putting games on SteamThe fact that EA start putting their games on Steam after so many years just says one thing, players still loaths Origin that EA is having trouble getting new revenueYou either have the game available as standalone installers or / and on steam, gamers really dislike having to deal with multiple distribution platformsonly very rare cases where an in-house distribution platform have succeeded, like Blizzard because of their royal fan base, and they have a massive war chest to back it up which Anet doesn't

secondly, Anet will need to make alterations to GW2's client how updates are appliedBDO's steam client is an example of a disaster of patching on steam, the update on steam actually downloads the entire game with every patch, bout 50GB, whereas standalone version was just 1GB

majority Norns don't really give a damn about Modremoth

back in GW:EotN you actually had to convince sooooo hard to them that killing destroyers is 'fun', and the 'army' they sent was just 5 >.>

holy trinity? pffff

Firebrand = Ultima-Trinity

just delete it ffs, makes sense in PvE to keep bad players alive, it's so bad in competitive play environments as the stronger side always have a competitive advantage instead of a comeback mechanic for the weaker side

it's not uncommon in zerg fights you see the stronger side absolutely decimate the weaker side with 0 loss because they just kept on rallying from the kills

nvm... delete this comment please

I think most people just craft a core ascended gear, and convert it through the mystic forge; it's pretty much the same cost

too troublesome to go for a receipt from RNG when there is a much easier way to get the stats

plus most long term players most likely have lots of unused ascended boxes sitting around in bank

not sure if someone already raised in the thread... it's so massive

Can we please have a GUI option added to display 'Performance Stats' in game without having to press F11 to see the FPS and Ping?

the location can be sitting in the bottom right of the mini map

yeah, they did change this a long time ago when they revamped the starter experience

it's been so long ago, but I think it was back before the change it was taking longer to level, so you had to spend a lot of time doing hearts and dynamic events

the change they made it easier to level just from doing hearts, and sectioned out the personal stories into different level tiers(?)

So I'd definitely like to see a motorcycle/speeder bike type thing, probably also for beetle. Like the Charr bike people have been asking for. Also a hoverboard - both a mechanical hovercraft, and a literal hoverboard that floats a bit, both skimmer skins

wouldnt jackle be better? mini light speed jumps :lol:

and the skimmer can be the X wing

time for you EU people transfer to NA, and suffer the shitty pings we OCE people are setting :lol:

I guess maybe it's an AMD problem then, GW2 historically always have some hiccups with AMD components even since launch

seems maybe an issue with the GPU, do you have a spare GPU to test on?

The question first thing to ask is, was the game working before? and how long have you had the game since the issue occured.

If it is still occuring even if you fresh reinstall Windows, hardware drivers and the game, then most likely you are having a hardware failure like my PC

in my case, things have been fine on my PC for the past 2.5 years, then my Guild Wars started crashing or doing weird things, and slowly progress to more programs over the weeks; Guild Wars 2 seems to be lucky not crashing at all for some reason

after much self troubleshooting, it seems like my CPU may be failing; I basically replaced every single component on my PC except for the CPU and the Motherboard

sending it back to Intel for a replacement this week

I took a massive haitus just 2-3 months after launch because my PC back then was overheating and a lot of things happened in my personal life, came back to the game about 6 months before HoT launch, which meant I missed out on all the LWS1 achieves, and a lot of other legacy achieves, rather than grinding for gold i.e. SW, I invested a lot of down time between stories doing achieves, currently sitting on 34,441 / 43,643 AP; and on the way obviously burnt through tons of gold, like the gen1 legendary precusors


some of them I can never imagine I would ever achieve, and will never ever attempt, like Indomitable Legend 5 AP, also EoTM and activities ones where you need over 1k tickers when the map is dead
