Serious Internet connection Ping problems.

moved from HELP:WIKI

Over the last 3 or 4 days my system has been having serious internet ping problems. Have GW been doing things to drastically slow internet connections and ping

My Characters are seriously struggling to go where I ask them without going backwards and forwards and sideways, then slowing down, running on the spot etc

I cant go into a mission as my characters are going all over the place Any Help please? --172.142.72.158 22:26, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

I don't think you could be getting the lag from any of ANet's servers; not anything nearly that bad, at least.
There's a few things you can do on your own system to try to speed it up. Off the top of my head, I would suggest going to "Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup", and use that to clean out temporary internet files. That can sometimes cause lag if there's too many files clogging up your system.
What sort of internet connection do you have? Dial-up, DSL, Cable... wired or wireless? Perhaps someone here has a suggestion... --User Jioruji Derako logo.png Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 02:42, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

guild battles?

can u do guild batles if u just have nightfall? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Sungsu (talk).

Yes, GvG doesn't have any restrictions on campaigns or anything. So long as you're in a guild, and meet the requirements to start a battle (you'll need a Guild Hall for one, and at least four guild members to start a battle), then there's no other important things you need. Check the article I just linked, it should answer any questions you've got on the subject.
On an unrelated note, you can sign your comments by typing four tildes (~~~~). That way people know who's posting what. --User Jioruji Derako logo.png Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 04:51, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Weapon upgrade components

You can only obtain weapon upgrade components by salvaging them yourself or trading with other players. The there main trading towns are Lion's Arch, Kaineng Center and Kamadan. -- Gordon Ecker 06:26, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Repairing Data Archive?

Instead of normal downloading of updates, loading data and starting the client, the program started repairing the data archive (My Translation, original (german): Datenarchiv) a minute ago....this happened once befor, a few weeks ago. Three hors ago my client started as usual, with no problems. What's that supposed to mean? --Aquila Noctis 12:12, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Question about hall of monument

Hello. How to delete elite armor from the hall of monument. I have 2 elite armors, and i don't want to see one of it in the Hall. And if it's not possible to delete now, I hope that it will be able in the future.

there is no way you can remove items from the hall. RT | Talk 14:21, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

to tannakhai temple

well, it says in the quest page that u can get a bug where mhenlo does not follow u so the afflicted wont come, it then says to try to make sure that mhenlo doesnt get stuck. but i can't get him out from behind the guard, what should i do?--The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:81.157.200.218 (talk).

If he does get stuck like that and you can't seem to make him move (talk to him, run away, maybe try to "push" him), then just restart the quest (go back to town and head out again). I've never had the bug happen to me, so it's not a very common bug; I doubt you'll have the same issue twice in a row. --User Jioruji Derako logo.png Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 00:25, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Charrslayer Sword Bug

according to the wiki the charrslayer sword you can have crafted at the eye is bugged. my question is: is it still bugged and if so what precisely is wrong with it!?

I assume it's still bugged; nobody's removed the notice from the article, and none of the updates have mentioned it being fixed.
From what's written on the article, the weapon does minimum damage against non-Charr foes, even if you meet the requirements. Still works just fine against Charr though.
When in doubt about stuff like that, check the bug notice in the article, it should explain a bit. And check the article's talk page as well, you can generally find discussion relating to the bug. Charrslayer Sword --User Jioruji Derako logo.png Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 00:29, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

multiple players

How Can u play with more than 2 players other than being in a town?--68.7.181.26 00:59, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

If you add people to your party in a town, then they'll still be in your party when you leave the town and head out into an explorable area. Party size is generally limited to 4-to-8 players, so you should have no trouble getting more then two players in your party. --User Jioruji Derako logo.png Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 13:18, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
If you are still in presearing Ascalon, 2 is as high as it gets. This limit will be higher as you progress in the game. Backsword 14:19, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

GETTING banned

Do you directly ban a player if a "modertaor"(player) claims you've done something wrong? because ive had threats of that, like one of my borthers got mad at me one day and out of no where he starts yelling i stole his money.Then a "moderator" came up to me and said im sending a report to anet to get you banned for stealing his money.What i want to know is do you just directly ban someone like that, with jsut the trust of a moderator seeing how they might not jsut liek a player and just do that to get them away for good. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:99.142.53.71 (talk).

They aren't moderators, they're regular players using either the in-game /report command or the support form on plaync.com. I'm pretty sure they check the logs before banning. -- Gordon Ecker 06:06, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Boreas Seabed is not accessable

For some reason, this place can't be reached for me. It always stops at the load screen. There was one instance in which I got in, but had massive lag that made it completely unplayable. I was hit with an 007 error once during the loading screen, then 058 error. I'm sure my connection and firewall are not the problem. I've been trying for about 15 min, and I'm wondering if this isn't my end. Can anyone else confirm, or if it's me, tell me how to fix it? --People of Antioch talk User People of Antioch sig.png 03:08, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

It's you, and I don't know. Galil or Poke or some other techie should know. Calor Talk 03:10, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
Nope, but I have a horribly vague memory of something similar popping up before. Just try again now (as it's been almost 9 hours). Most likely was a routing issue from your ISP to Boreas Seabed's server, since your connection worked fine and Boreas Seabed did too. — Galil Talk page 11:54, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

You can call out your build in towns and outposts by holding the control key and clicking the skill bar, but it doesn't work inside combat areas. -- Gordon Ecker 06:06, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
Actually, if you call it before you go out into a combat area, you can scroll up, look at the build and click "send to chat", and it will send the build to people in the combat place. I think this person is asking HOW, and for me it's CTRL+CLICK on your bar.- VanguardUser-VanguardAvatar.PNG 14:01, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
Or press K, click the diskette, click Template Code and then Send to Chat, in case you didn't previously Ctrl+Click your bar while in an outpost. — Galil Talk page 17:57, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

PvP Battle Question

Can you choose who to play against in PvP battles? Are your opponents always randomly chosen?--128.226.221.85 04:20, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

In short, no - you can't really choose your opponents. Most PvP in Guild Wars has an aspect of random to it. For GvG you can do a planned scrimmage but only for those in the same guild (and their guests) or alliance. A scrimmage can be 1 on 1 if you like. As to randomly chosen, no not always - the final stages of tournaments have planned matches for the teams involved. GvG and Hero ladder matches attempts matches of opponents based on the ladder rank. Heroes Ascent is random-ish but in later maps you get placed against the teams at the same stage as you. So you don't have control over who you play against but there is method to the selection of the team. --Aspectacle 04:42, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Using artifacts and energy items.

When I get an item such as a Healing artifact and try to put it in the off hand of a two handed weapon there is a red circle and bar across it. What does this mean? Does it mean the artifact is non-operational? I am a new player.98.199.122.161 17:25, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Aye it is not operational. You can store an artifact there whilst using a two handed weapon, but as a staff is two handed, you are not actually wielding the artifact and do not get the effects of it. To utilise it correctly you need to use a one handed weapon in your right hand, like a wand/sword/axe etc. --LemmingUser Lemming64 sigicon.png 17:27, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

my character is a necro trying to get his armor in pre-searing ascalon and the skull trader is not in the catacombs where he is suppose to be. it shows the icon in the radar but he isnt there is there anyway to fix this???

Elite Tomes

I'm trying to obtain an elite assassin tome. As i understand, i need to kill an assassin boss in hard mode. Can someone please confirm; Will any assassin boss do? Do i need to kill with a char of primary or secondary assassin prof? How random is the drop of elite tomes?

Thanking you kindly SaltyOldSeaDog 11:13, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Any primary Assassin boss can drop the tome in hard mode, your own profession doesn't matter.
I don't know the drop rate, but it's fairly slim. I've farmed other tomes before, with varying degrees of luck... farming an elite Elementalist tome took somewhere around ten tries, farming a Mesmer tome took longer then that (actually, it never dropped and I got one from a chest instead). Best bet is simply to find a boss, farm him (solo) for a few times, and see if you get lucky. (chances are you'll get his green drop in the process, or something of the sort.) --User Jioruji Derako logo.png Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 14:14, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

How do you add an attribute to spectacles in GW:EN?

I just got my tinted spectacles and I need to know how to give them an attribute since they have the "item attribute +1 (stackable)" property. Any help would be appreciated.

Transfer items from one campaign to another

Is there a way I can take my items from my nightfall char. and use them with my Factions char.?

you can put them into your Xunlai Chest (i.e. your storage). All your characters will be able to take those items out. but to use them, the items must not be customized. - Y0_ich_halt Have a look at my page 19:48, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Drunkard title

I know that you need to drink 3 lvl 1 drink to start getting credit toward the drunkard title, my question is, do you drink all 3 drinks in that one min, or do you drink 1 after each 1 min ended for a total of 3 min for the 3 drinks? I know that it cap is lvl 5 intoxication, so does that mean I have to stop after drinking 5 drinks or does it means that don't go beyond 5 drinks, so drink 5 drinks, let the 1 min end and drink another lvl 1 to stay in between lvl 3 - lvl 5 intoxication? thanks132.239.90.242 20:24, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Drunk levels decay at a rate of 1 per minute, so if you only drank a lvl 1 every minute, you would stay at level one. You would need to drink all 3 at once, which would give you 1 minute of drunk at level 3. Then you could keep drinking 1 per minute to maintain your drunk level. --Valshia 21:40, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Prophecies character means your character was created in Prophecies and started out in Pre-searing Ascalon. Being able to travel elsewhere doesn't affect that. --Valshia 21:42, 6 March 2008 (UTC)


hmmm... could u message me ingame valshia... my char is weapon xz

Just doublecheck that you have, indeed:
  • Beaten the Doppelganger (Augury Rock mission)
  • Finished one of the secondary-class test in the desert or switched to a different secondary than the one you had when leaving Pre-Searing.
  • Started and finished "The Hero's Journey" (as in, no longer in your quest long)-
  • Not done other 15-attribute points quests in Factions or nightfall (not sure if you even can, but still XD).

The Design a weapon contest finished last year... from the official rules of the contest:
Entries must be postmarked by Friday, March 30, 2007, and must be received at one of the above-named offices by April 9, 2007. Entries submitted to our partner offices in Europe and Asia will be relayed to ArenaNet for judging on or before April 13, 2007. [1] --The Great Tomato The Great Tomato 13:48, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
(EC) I think you could, however, there currently is NOT a Design-a-weapon contest active. At this moment, the weapons from the PREVIOUS contest are submitted. (This contest was held in 2007, prior to the Eye of the North release.) For the next design-a-weapon contest, keep an eye on the Guild Wars official website, it'll tell you all details required on how you can submit your design. -- CoRrRan (CoRrRan / talk) 13:52, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

The only thing in the GW news recently was this:
Design-a-Weapon Items: The Hunt is On!
We are pleased to announce that we will add a few of the winning items from the most recent Design-a-Weapon Contest into the game later this week. Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to venture forth and find those items. We'll add another group of items in the future, so keep your eye on this page for more information in the coming weeks.
And if you go to here then you can see all the contest news that has happened recently (in chronological order) - so there is not a Design-a-weapon contest currently on, but as CoRrRan said you can still send in your ideas as i'm sure they would be grateful to see some fan work but you would not be entering your idea as part of the design-a-weapon contest as that finished last year and now they are beginning to integrate some of the winning designs into the game.

kilroy stoneskin

A quick question.... Anyone out there having this issue with the Irontoe dungeon in hardmode:

Kilroy always runs out in front and aggros all of the bad guys and dies, which leaves me without his shout to assist in the battle. The one spot before the room where there is like 20 of them in a semi circle is where he always aggros the ten or so baddies. I've tried to run ahead and pull 1 or 2 at a time, but he just blazes on by and commits suicide :P I end up getting ko'd while trying to clear out his body and its getting annoying.72.24.236.77 22:13, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I've never had any trouble in there, even HM. It's probably just your technique. Calor Talk 00:19, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
I've found it easier to just rush in yourself, and aggro everything before he does. Way easier keeping yourself alive and having him pounce on stuff than it is to hope he will manage to stay alive. Especially since you get healed after each kill, he doesn't. — Galil Talk page 00:24, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Repairing/ new builds on Guild Wars

I have noticed that an increasing amount of repairing and new builds keep coming. Almost everytime I log in to play, there is either a repair or when I start to play, the continual annoucement asking me to log off because of a new build seems to be more often. What is going on and will there be even more in the future?

Ursan bleedthrough

Does Ursan blessing revert everyone back to a common armor level before adding the armor buff, or is there a definite advantage to using a warrior or paragon to achieve higher armor levels?

Also... if using a mesmer and having the insignias that give armor buffs per signet, will those insignias still give the armor bonus AFTER switching to bear form?

---08:51, 12 March 2008 (UTC)White Tadpoless---08:51, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

It's +20 armor, so it should stack with other skills up to +25 and stack with everything else with no limit. -- Gordon Ecker 09:07, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Armor stays as it is when you use Ursan if I remember correctly, so Warriors do have higher armor then other classes while in Ursan Blessing (if that's what you're asking).
The Mesmer insignia will still work, but it will count your current skillbar (the Ursan one), not your "old" skillbar. So it shouldn't give any extra armor bonuses overall. --User Jioruji Derako logo.png Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 14:42, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

In the sense of being just one big block, yes, it's stand alone, so having the other expansions will not change the content of pre-searing. But you can still leave pre-searing (can't return, though) and play the rest of the Prophecies campaign (from which Pre-Searing is a part of).--Fighterdoken 18:08, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

White Screen

Ok, I've been have some trouble with the game since about the end of February. I'll be playing and the screen either goes half white or entirely white. The only way for it to go back to normal is if i restart my computer and enter the game. It's really been a pain in the but when I'm halfway through a mission and I can't see what I'm doing.

Turn down the level of graphics; it's probably your computer freezing because the video card isn't good enough to display some parts of GW. Calor Talk 19:14, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Presearing most powerful sword

What is the name of the most powerful / damaging sword that can be acquired in presearing.

I want to thank all of you, that has helped us on this site. I have lerned a lot from this site. --166.128.16.162 22:31, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

The most powerful that exists there would be the Glacial Blade (bonus weapon only attainable if you have the EoTN pre-release bonus) or glitched gold/green weapons if there still exist some (but they would cost you an arm, and eye, and your first born). I think the highest (non-glitched) sword that you can get your hands into would be any purple that does around 10-16 in damage (specially with a +18% to charr mod). You can find more information about max stats for weapons and equipment on the Pre-Searing community webpage.--Fighterdoken 22:37, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Crystal Desert/Droknars Forge

Hey. After doing the mission The Dragons Lair, and going to Droknars Forge, I quit playing on Proph and moved to factions. After beating factions I want to go back and do the Proph missions. I figured I had to talk to Glint, But all she says is "Your Ascension is not the end, but rather a new beginning. Those who have hellped you get this far are now in great peril. Go to them. Put right what has gone so terribly wrong. I will be here when you return. When you have fulfilled your destiny." So does anyone know where I'm supposed to go now?--The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:63.175.4.119 (talk).

Talk with Captain Hugo Bronzebeard for acquiring the quest Seeking the Seer. After that, is just a small travel to the next mission.--Fighterdoken 17:17, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

armour

what wuold be the best warrior armour in the game? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:74.183.3.19 (talk).

Any armor with 80 armor rating. The only real thing differing the armors in the latter parts of the game are appearances. See Warrior armor for the various armors and their appearances. — Galil Talk page 04:12, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

well i mean since primeval armour is 75k and theres no other 75k armours for warrior, does that mean its the best for a warrior? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:74.183.3.19 (talk).

There's other armor sets with the same crafting cost, and Vabbian armor and Obsidian armor are significantly more expensive if you include the material cost. -- Gordon Ecker 04:22, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
The only difference between max armors is appearance. That's it. If you think it looks the best and you're willing to pay that much, it's the best for you. --71.229.204.25 04:22, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

so no 80 armour is better than other 80 aumor

um... if "better" means more protection, yes (as in, 'yes, no 80 armor is better than another 80 armor). why would one armor with a rating of 80 be better than a different armor with the same rating? expensive armor is only there as a gold sink, i.e. to make rich people spend their money on stuff that doesn't give them an advantage to other players. - Y0_ich_halt Have a look at my page 21:49, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

im getting primeval armour b/c i think it looks cooler than any other 80 armour. and thx...now im sure that there isnt a better armour than primeval. oh and wuold getting dragon gauntlets and those other side items, wuold they be btter than the armour or r they just 4 looks? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:74.183.3.19 (talk).

You need to be a Ranger primary or secondary profession, and use the skill Charm Animal. See the Animal companion for more details. Biscuits User Biscuits sig.png 10:50, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
