[Official] Guild Wars 2 Discussion, Video & Screenshot Thread - Page 689

Don't get me wrong I like to get better gear as much as the next person but I find myself not caring much about the stats as with other games I guess I just fell into this ethos pretty easily. I've always been into cosmetics too so it's something I've always worked towards in Lotro to fill out all my cosmetic slots.

I was heavy into stats there though, and I do love the feeling of having the best setup on the server and that simply makes me better but admittedly I spend a lot of time to do that and it felt grindy and really it's a bit sad. I was never truly happy with the system and I would always complain I was burnt out or I would get that amazing item I always wanted, then 10 minutes later moan that I wanted the next thing... I'll also add that those style of games add a system that blocks more casual players out of high end content, not allowing someone to go into a T2 raid because they don't have teal gear seems fair, but not allowing someone into a T2 raid just because they are just plain terrible is far more fair.

I feel I've been looking for the game that is an MMO but doesn't feel like a chore to be at the 'top' for a long time and I'm sure my friends will be sad to see me leave but they knew I was never really happy. Simply, now I am, this new way was made just for me Still early days though we will see.

So yeah sorry guy but I am one of those 'study every detail of the game' guys as well:p But I don't have a neck beard I promise.

This is my first true MMO ( i touched WoW for a sec but didnt care for it ) and am loving it!

I was totally joking.

I know you were, it just spurred me to further explain myself

 

For me, I ran out of time to play GW2 for least 3 days now. I am too busy fiddling with my Arduino devices.

I'm scared of burning myself out of the game as well but then again I played GW1 for a very long time so hopefully it takes a very long time

OT: What is your current Arduino project? I bought one but never used it since I have no components for it.

You all need to join the OCN guild so we can have more fun time like we had last night in Story mode CM...Thelma will live through 2 trash pull consecutively one day, I FEEL IT!

Folks--any tips for optimizing the game for WvWvW/raids? I have a GTX 570 and normally get 80-90 FPS with FXAA off but soon as there's a big event going on I drop to the high 20s. Any optimal settings (while still preserving good image quality) would be very helpful. Thank you.

For anyone experiencing the strange transparent texture bug every now and then, toggling your supersampling will fox the issue until you restart the game. I'm not totally sure if the fix also persists through zone changes, as I haven't tested it enough. If you run at Native, just toggle it up and back down, and presto.

The root cause is something to do with the reflections setting, but this is a workaround until things get resolved.

Here is one i just took
