    Does anybody else find it weird that a lot of elite spec builds don't use weapons implemented with that spec?

    Posted: 21 Oct 2019 08:04 AM PDT

    Like, I've seen a lot of builds on Metabattle and Snowcrows and most of the elite spec builds use core weapons.

    For example I saw a build for deadeye that used daggers....

    Grey-O-Tron 6.12.3 released [WvW Discord Verification bot]

    Posted: 21 Oct 2019 04:19 AM PDT

    Some time ago I decided to write a Discord bot to help a server automatically assign roles according to the users world.

    In the mean time the bot is pretty stable and now actively used on 17 Discord servers by 970 users.

    So a massive thanks to everyone using the bot as well to the people that helped out pointing out bugs etc.

    Guild hall game: Sky Scavenger Hunt

    Posted: 21 Oct 2019 07:44 AM PDT

    I present you the biggest Scavenger game that I've created so far. This one is called Skyvenger Hunt (for obvious pun reasons).

    Video:
    https://youtu.be/C1ipnkklT2Y

    Goal and game mechanics:

    • One player volunteers as Admin for fair play.
    • The other players just run and jump. There is secret "codes" in interactable items that are all around the maze. If you find one you need to whisper the Admin with the key-code. Each code rewards different points and whoever it collects more points wins.
    • Example:
      You: "Hey dude, I found code 1234".
      Admin: "Cool, you got 2 more points".

    Rules:
    NO mounts.
    NO gliding.
    YES, you can waypoint back if you fall down.
    TIME limit is 30minutes.

    How to enter
    If you are in EU and want to play with your guild/friends in this map, just whisper Aens or Ellantriel when you see me online.

    Notes:
    Please only groups of 5 or more players, otherwise there is no really competition.
    Also, there is a Start circle to stack together before the Admin calls the start.

    Also! I accept gold donations to create more guild hall games, but only if anyone wants to, no worries if you just want to play for free.

    I'm not english so I'll provide a basic translation for the codes text:
    Spanish: Vale canjeable por puntos: 1234.
    English: Token changeable for points: 1234.

    Spanish: Camino sin salida.
    English: No way out.

    Happy hunting!

    d912pxy - dx12 for gw2, now v1.9

    Posted: 20 Oct 2019 08:22 AM PDT

    Hello gw2 community! I'm happy to announce that d912pxy v1.9 is now released!

    About

    d912pxy is a tool/app/addon/lib I made to allow Guild Wars 2 use DirectX12.

    This tool takes DirectX9 API calls and translates them into DirectX12 API calls.

    ​

    There already many things of that kind, like wined3d, vk9, vkd3d, dxvk, d9vk, etc.

    Key difference: d912pxy is developed specially for performance, not API compatibility or portability.

    ​

    Before I post some links you should read this statements:

    1. As this tool do not make any modification to game files on disk or runtime, don't give you any advantage or botting solutions. It's likely to be 3-rd party tools TOS compliant.
    2. You use it on your own risk.
    3. Read README.md save my and your time.
    4. Expect some minor bugs.

    In this update

    -Added FPS limiter & informational overlay, both are configurable in [extras] section of config file

    • Example config section to limit FPS to 25 and show draw count info

    ​

    [extras] enable=1 fps_limit=25 show_draw_count=1

    EDIT: Full list of options in extra section https://github.com/megai2/d912pxy/wiki/Custom-configuration#extras

    ​

    -Fixed batch data reusage optimization

    • This should fix performance drop that was encountered on 1.7 and 1.8.

    ​

    -Fixed QueryInterface crash

    • While it is not used normally, some 3rd party software or even game can rarely crash on it

    ​

    -Updated BnS pin screen pck to fix shadow problems

    • You need to delete pck_bns/latest.pck for it to take effect or do clean install

    ​

    -Added extra config options to control GPU write algorithm and batch data reusage in [batching] section

    • Consider changing this values only if you experience GPU crashes/GPU bottlenecking

    ​

    -Fixed crash on exit

    ​

    Installing

    Here is install instructions

    But still i recommend reading whole README file of project here => https://github.com/megai2/d912pxy

    Also you can use this tool https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/cxsxbz/gw2_addon_manager_for_arcdps_gw2_radial_and/

    Q&A

    - What to expect from this?

    1. Much more stable FPS in general (up to 250% minimal fps boost)
    2. Higer FPS if you have free CPU and GPU power (up to 30%)
    3. Lower FPS if you have no extra CPU power / GPU power
    4. Much higher RAM and VRAM usage
    5. Using eGPU you can expect big improvements due to GPU-CPU bandwith optimization
    6. Some visual bugs and most notable character portraits glitching
    7. Missing and slow loading things after first/clean install as shader cache is building up.

    ​

    -That is big effort! Can i help with something?

    If you want, you can always support me by using links that are given on github or use direct link to patreon https://www.patreon.com/d912pxy. Or you can PR something on github!

    ​

    -This version loads things too slow, can you fix this?

    Starting from 1.8 shader cache is not supplied, so every fresh install will have big load times.

    You can go ahead and use community made shader packs https://github.com/megai2/d912pxy/wiki/Shader-packs

    ​

    -I saw this tool support other games too. Can you make it work with game "X"?

    If you sure that game "X" uses directx 9 and it have 64-bit executable,

    you can try to run game with d912pxy:

    put d912pxy folder from release zip, next to game executable, install it using install.exe and start game.

    ​

    -How i make it work as game is not even starting with this tool installed?

    If your game is somewhere in Program Files folder, you need to adjust access to game folder or simply run game as administrator.

    If this is not a problem, read README again, on installing and troubleshooting, it will solve most of problems.

    Otherwise, ask on discord that you can find in README.

    ​

    -This versions works slower. How do i fix that?

    There is config.ini to tweak some things for more performance.

    Default config is all around thing, to make sure nothing bad happens on potato-ish PCs.

    You can go and read wiki page on config values or you can take some ready to use configs in d912pxy/configs folder.

    Just make sure that you use config with gw2 in its name.

    ​

    -Will it work for me?

    I don't know. Try it out.

    ​

    - How it will work with ArcDPS/gw2hook/ReShade/GW2Radial/Taco?

    It should work fine with ArcDPS/GW2Radial/ReShade/Taco by now, but not gw2hook.

    https://github.com/megai2/d912pxy/wiki/Using-with-other-addons-and-overlays

    ​

    - What about latest banwave?

    No info on banwave source yet, that means this tool is still under 3-rd party tools TOS rules.

    If you feel scary about bans, maybe you should not use any tool for now.

    Think for yourself.

    ​

    -How I can fix that wierd pop ins/character portraits/slow load/missing objects?

    For fresh install of d912pxy it is normal as shader cache is being built.

    ​

    But if you still experience big load times and you really want good portraits you can enable PSO precompile, but be warned - it will raise RAM and VRAM usage by big amounts!

    ​

    -I'm crashing with "D3D12 device removal due to 8007000E" since v1.6. Any help?

    This thing looks like a driver bug, so i added a quick workaround:

    add dheap_mode=1 under [compat] section in config, that should cover your problem.

    ​

    -Why when i use this tool, my system show 0% GPU load?

    Because your system is bugged.

    Latest win10 updates have bug in task manager that will report 0% GPU load.

    Use GPU-Z or something like that to see actual usage.

    ​

    -My GPU is sitting on idle clocks. Any ideas?

    You can set nv_disable_throttle to 1 in config if you have NVidia GPU.

    But beware that this option is not so safe, as this will disable power throttle, and if your game crashes, this thing will be left enabled. Restart game and exit cleanly to fix this or use other OC/tweaking tools to clear this out.

    ​

    -What about windows 8?

    What is windows 8? No dx12 for windows 8 from Microsoft (yet)

    ​

    -I use windows 7 and somehow it works slowly. How to fix this?

    Port of dx12 to windows 7 have its side effects.

    Almost all screen reading,gfx hooking and other things will create problems.

    Try to disable all fancy (and not fancy) things that affect rendering in any way.

    This in fact writed in install instructions and troubleshooting page, but who reads them right?

    ​

    -Why it is not using SLI?

    DX12 does not have driver code to make SLI work out of box, so i need to make it on my own.

    While multi GPU mode can be implemented, it is a big challenge to do so in a proxy mode.

    Especially when game is already eating all of CPU and memory bandwith, as adding one more GPU in a code will rise memory and CPU usage even more.

    If you want this that bad, you can sponsor me up! :D Otherwise, surely not today.

    ​

    -Does this need update when gw2 updated?

    Most of time - no.

    But there is widely used ArcDPS addon, that tend to cause problems on game update day.

    So check it first, before going to post smth about "d912pxy is broken with game update" everywhere.

    ​

    -Addon loader/addon manager? WHAAAA... ?

    Yes, i'm kinda tired about all that chainload troubles, so soon d912pxy will be available in

    https://github.com/fmmmlee/GW2-Addon-Manager with some under the hood "chainload" changes.

    If you making yet another d3d9 based addon for gw, join ppl on gw2 developement community discord and use addon loader approach https://github.com/gw2-addon-loader/ instead of more chainloading.

    ​

    -Can you add some functionality from gw2 hook?

    There is a custom shader that removes bloom https://pastebin.com/UtvHPBmY put that file into d912pxy/shaders/hlsl/custom with .hlsl extension, and then remove d912pxy/pck/latest.pck

    Shader by /u/BurningSky1994

    ​

    -Crashing/not working/need to troubleshoot smth

    You have many options

    1. https://github.com/megai2/d912pxy#troubleshooting
    2. Re-read installing page https://github.com/megai2/d912pxy/wiki/Installing
    3. Ask on secret(or not so secret?) discord that is on https://github.com/megai2/d912pxy page ;)

    ​

    -How I can fix that wierd pop ins/character portraits/slow load/missing objects?

    For fresh install of d912pxy it is normal as shader cache is being built.

    ​

    But if you still experience big load times and you really want good portraits you can enable PSO precompile, but be warned - it will raise RAM and VRAM usage by big amounts!

    ​

    -Why ANet is still not hired you? (or other why ANet)

    That is not coming as i live cross globe and there is no open positions.

    Please do not discuss their reasons/actions any way, as this will not end up constructively.

    If you're still struggling with the festival JPs, this movement tip might help you

    Posted: 21 Oct 2019 08:29 AM PDT

    How I personally find it easier to do such JPs is to:

    • hold down the right mouse button down for the movement-camera control,

    • start running forward without stopping (unless you really have to),

    • steer left-right only with your mouse, again, without stopping,

    • and just press space to jump when you need to.

    (You might find yourself doing extra curve-like pre-adjustments to line yourself up before the jump but that's all part of the strategy.)

    I believe that unnecessary stops and left-right adjustments throw you off the rhythm, but when you're moving in a train-like fashion, you get the feel of the large segments of the "track" after a while and it becomes easier to memorize and execute them.

    Playing with friends (as f2p)

    Posted: 21 Oct 2019 02:06 AM PDT

    Hey,

    I just started playing gw2 with a friend he took human as a race and I took Norn as a race, first I thought that you just had to complete a tutorial on your starting region and then you can move on. However I googled it and apparently you can only meet up by entering the portal which leads to lion`s arch, however it is not available for a f2p until you reach lvl 35. So my question is there any other way to meet and play together ? Thanks for your answers

    Riddle of the Weaver + Skyscale

    Posted: 21 Oct 2019 02:25 AM PDT

    I'm currently working on the Warpblade achievement, I noticed that for the Riddle of the Weaver, I would need both the Skimmer and Jackal with 3 masteries each in order to reach it. I was wondering if I can bypass grinding the masteries by using a flying mount such as the Griffon or Skyscale?

    Which game to buy?

    Posted: 21 Oct 2019 07:41 AM PDT

    Hey guys, I want to start guild wars 2 and I don't know which game I have to buy. Is it enough when I only buy the newest dlc? Do I get the whole game or is it better to buy every dlc?

    Returning after playing at relase - got some questions

    Posted: 21 Oct 2019 05:26 AM PDT

    I played this game back when it was released and I am thinking about coming back. I am a WOW player and looking for a game I can play until the new patch drops and maybe even later on. So I got some questions:

    ​

    1. I dont want to level rn, so I will probably boost a char with the free boost you get when you buy the addon. Is Necromancer a good choice for somone who want swap between (off-)healing and dps or are there better classes for this playstyle?
    2. When I boost that char can I play old content? Maybe even redo some leveling quest? Iirc each race has some leveling questlines, can I do them at max level?
    3. I am a huge M+ fan in WOW. I read about the fractals do they work the same way? Is there a "meta" for this type of content? Like 1 Tank/1 Heal/ 3 Dps? or does this work different in this game

    [Question] Chef 500 crafting

    Posted: 21 Oct 2019 05:04 AM PDT

    Hi all,

    I completed gourmet (too early I guess) and I am missing 1.5 levels to get to 500 (498.5).

    What would be the cheapest and quickest way to get to 500?

    I just have no idea what to craft to level up..

    Thank you.
