Support NeoGAF

[KePoW]

So, anyone play this on a laptop? If so, which one and how is the performance? I need to get a laptop for the next 4 months to play on.

At work I do, my laptop is an i5-2540M with a Nvidia 555M.

Runs at 50+ fps on mostly Medium settings (couple on High), at 1600x900 rez.

If I try 1920x1080, it's horribly slow but that's because my GPU is middle of the line, and resolution capped basically.

 

[Achtius]

I might join you guys for wvwvw tonite, need to kill 50 invaders

 

[mr stroke]

I guess a lot of people are getting these password reset emails, so that's good I guess... at least I'm not alone. I've gotten 4 so far this afternoon...

Hopefully ANet clues us in to why this is happening.

keep getting the same thing too :/

 

[Hasemo]

Another batch of Gaffers did the Ascalonian Catacombs instance, yay!

We died quite a few times, but it wasn't as hard as I thought. Loved the traps and the bosses.

 

[Arkaerial]

So I've been playing a bunch...junky that I am. Does NeoGAF have a guild on Henge of Denravi?

 

[Kareha]

Can't really enjoy myself atm due to the gratuitous amounts of lag. They've said they're aware of the lag problems so I hope they can get it fixed quickly.

 

[Achtius]

I wanna see the in-game screenshot of how that armor (asura male heavy)look.

 

[Violet_0]

do I assume correctly that Warriors (due to enemies not dodging Hundred Blades/Eviscerate/Kill Shot/...) and Elementalist (AoE) do the most damage of all professions?

 

[Parakeetman]

Highly unfortunate that the guild invites still seem broken. Had made a request for one in game talking to Hawkain, saw the message appear but upon clicking it going into the guild panel nothing happened. D: Thanks for trying though much appreciated!

Ah well gives me more time to build up my character

Made it to lv 31 and managed to unlock 2 zones and 3 cities so far.

If a Staff Necromancer gets in melee range and someone holds it still they can do an absolute insane amount of damage. I tank almost every "group event" boss when I throw out all my spells.

 

[bigdaddygamebot]

On the hero screen, there's a little eyedropper above your chosen armor pieces on the left of your character.

Hero Panel has a Dye set up to use at any time just press H and look for the icon...

Rad.

Thanks guys.

 

[EvilMario]

My primary gaming PC went down (power supply, looks like), so I've been playing on the ol' backup. Going from 45-60 FPS to playing under 20 FPS most of the time now. Amusingly, still playable and fun.

uh, I played a scepter/staff PvP Necro during the BWEs - how do you do so much damage and why would you want to be in melee range? Are you sure you meant to say staff and not another weapon? It has mostly cc skills and barely did any damage when I played.

Definitely staff.

Mark of Blood + Putrid Mark + Corrosive Poison Cloud + Well of Corruption + Well of Suffering. All AoE, but all apply some insane DoTs.

 

[Macattk15]

Has anyone completed Ascalon Catacombs Explorable?

How do you get the tokens to buy the dungeon related gear that I see on vendors in Lions Arch? I am assuming you get them from downing bosses in Explorable? I finished the Story Mode of Ascalon but did not receive any of these tokens.

 

[SeZMehK]

How long is the ascalon catacomb? Also what is your opinion on 1password? I'm thinking of getting it.

 

[Hasemo]

Screenshot in my previous post updated, messed up the link.

I think it took us more than an hour in Story Mode, but I can be wrong.

 

[Violet_0]

Mark of Blood + Putrid Mark + Corrosive Poison Cloud + Well of Corruption + Well of Suffering. All AoE, but all apply some insane DoTs.

on that note, something I meant to ask for a while now - do marks trigger aoe effects? It seems to me that they work like traps, which only hit the person that steps on them

 

[Parakeetman]

Is there a pure Healer/Support class in GW2?

Not exactly pure heal but for a lot of healing related / support stuff the guardian can go that route if you spec it correctly. Though not sure how much of a help you would be with that heavy armor if you are hanging back just running around healing up folks and throwing up shields all over the place. One thing for sure is you wont be getting much exp from doing that as besides helping folks get back on their feet you dont seem to get any sort of credit from doing things like buffing or healing directly.

For WvW stuff I actually semi change around my skills and equipment slightly so that I can assist more with healing and throwing up sheilds on occasion. Its pretty useful in standoff situations where both sides are plinking each other and the anti projectile barrier assists with allowing for wounded characters to pull back far enough out of range so they can heal up. Had a few mexican standoff situations so can attest for it being useful.

 

[Einbroch]

Yep, they're all AoE. Anyone inside the mark when it triggers gets the effect.

 

[Deitus]

Oh, Wells, that explains why you need to be in melee range. Have you tried the Necro trait that allows you to make Wells ground targetable? I'm not sure what range it has, but from the sound of it, you should be equally as deadly at long range.

 

[zlatko]

One of the pages in that probably has it.

I'm only level 29, but that trait sounds amazing. I just cast my two marks, auto-attack, and when they're in melee range use one of my wells. Kills any non-elite mob right when it reaches me.

 

[vaelic]

Mehhhh guild invites still wonky.

is it server based? its working on other servers

 

[The M.O.B]

If you want to get the game working with Mumble Overlay, use this.

Put this at the end of your targetline for your GW2 shortcut.

-password <pass> -email <account> -nopatchui

Fill in the <> with your real info obviously. When a new patch is out you will have to take out the -nopatchui but otherwise it works just fine.

 

[Drkirby]

Would it be possible to open out the guild bank for everyone for now, until the Treasure Vault is finished in about a week? Right now the thing is just full, and I think it would be a great way to help out everyone by being able to put things in and out. Plus, there is a log if anyone takes everything.


I guess the invites do go out, but they take hours to actually arrive. I finally got mine that was sent a day ago.

 

[zlatko]

Are these medium armor sets available for all medium armor wearing classes, or just Thief? Some of these look 100% Thief specific, so it's hard to tell if Engineer can tout some of this.

 

[vaelic]

are officers reading ingame chat? few of us been messaging gojira and retro with no responses

 

[panda21]

how do i beat Vidkun? i'm trying to do it solo and i just get killed every time. i can knock down vidkun but you have to kill the dragon thing too otherwise he just comes back with full health.

I can't see the image, but as far as I know all medium armor can be worn by all medium armor-wearing professions. There is no class-specific gear.

 

[Lord Phol]

Any Officers online who can give me an guildinvite?
All the ones in the OP are offline or afk D:.

Phol.9132 / Phol Lunari

I'm pretty sure that's all the officers we have at the moment. Also, guild invites seem to still be broken.

This works?

Could you theoretically make two shortcuts- a "standard launch" and a "Mumble UI/No Patch" shortcut?

 

[Liferebooted]

Dah fuck I keep getting pw reset emails since 4 am est. They need to make an authenticator app asap.

 

[BrettWeir]

I've been hoping they would have given some type of update or status regarding the trading post. As someone who wants to craft, I find it frustrating. I have no idea how you people are leveling crafting. I salvage every drop I get. I've never sold a single piece of loot that is salvageable, and I stop at every node I come across.

Ah okay. yeah I can't get the link to work for w/e reason.

Glad to hear it though.

Are you using the discovery pane? I haven't nearly salvaged everything or gathered every node I've seen, and I'm about to break 50 in jeweling...

Did tiny bit of grinding for creature mats... but not much for weapon smithing. Cooking I don't need any grinding.. but man I could really use more bags.

I do wish they'd get trading post up though, it's a big hamper on a big area of the game.

 

[TheYanger]

Another day still mismatched as hell in wvw....this is really painful Anet :/

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Yeah, I messaged Gojira yesterday and got zero response.

Just tried this, yup it works.

My standard desktop shortcut checks for new patches and then launches without Mumble.

My Steam shortcut has the mumble overlay options but skips the update process.

Excelsior.

I've tried a couple times. Both times I didn't have anything. I have no idea how it works I guess.

 

[KePoW]

You have to use the Discovery pane when crafting, that's the most important thing. Otherwise you will waste tons of mats

 

[razgriz417]

I've tried a couple times. Both times I didn't have anything. I have no idea how it works I guess.

I've been trading with friends for and making sure my core group doesn't overlap in primary professions so much. It seems like with the TP down, the easiest professions are the weapon making ones because they're gatherable. If you're stuck on mats, I suggest asking in guild chat to trade materials

As for discovery, it depends on what you're making. Usually it consists of 2 components you make out of a basic material + 1 fine material. Here's the reference list Ive been using that was posted earlier (its not complete but pretty good as is)

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0AnLuwh5uFdT3dDJrWlU0a1lTdXZjaW9hbFVVNGViZlE&f=true&noheader=true&gid=4

 

[vaelic]

they arent. theyre working on other servers!

 

[Ferrio]

Basically craft all the materials into components, and get level ups through that first. Then use the discovery pane with all that to bust you into the next level of components.

Very excited to see the GAF Guild spreadsheet being updated, I don't see my name on there though (I am post #298). I really don't want to nag or anything, but I would love to be part of the guild.

 

[JimmyBoy]

This was something that was a major weakness of the initial project I created, was refined a little here and there to be more natural, and then finally massively improved by WeltallZero. It works very, very well now, seriously. When using an AoE-heavy build I'd recommend playing a bit more zoomed out (but this would really be the case with a mouse too). I'm putting together a post of our latest release which we are calling the ULTIMATE CONFIG. Coming shortly

You need a new thread for this. I'm totally pumped to try this out. Also thank you in advance to everyone contributing this this project.

Wait there's a spreadsheet? For NA or EU?
