@SkyCakeLight.3750 said:I think a support Warrior with a pistol would be a pretty cool idea. Pistol makes more sense to me than staff, though that's mostly because I really like Warhammer. Either one would be fun!
Pistol + shield or scepter + shield would work great for support warrior, shortbow and longbow would also be a really good idea for elementalist. As for ranger with rifle or pistol hehe.
-
For ranger anything that involves ranged like pistol or rifle. Personally i like rifle or at least pistol since there is no elite spec that involves Pistol(same goes for warrior).
For elementalist would be nice to have something that focus on a single element and easier mechanics instead multiple, for exemple fire= full burst dmg dps and faster cds, water = full heal support, earth = more tanky condition or dps, electricity = full support, lower cds and cc and maybe one new element like arcane. And can wear shields or pistol.

@Sobx.1758 said:Considering there's another expansion planned for the future, it's safe to say that there is a chance.
@Teratus.2859 said:Chances are we'll get 1 more set of Elite Specs although I have a feeling that this will be the last time we get them.
I hope so guys, there are a few things 'missing' in game for eli spec in my opinion like the previous one i mention for ranger, maybe a ranged warrior/thief trait focused on bow/shortbow etc etc.. possibilities are many.
-
Character slot sale(30-50%), shared inventory, bank expansion, identity change kit would be nice, and gather tools sale(the ones who gives bonus while gathering). I know those were all added some time ago but I lost them all due ethernet issue ;(((. And mount pack.
-
Specially for ranger, I mean focused on ranged damage instead ranged support.

@Teratus.2859 said:Much like Gliding you'll have to invest in Provisions Master skill line to unlock autoloot in WvW.Doesn't cost many points though so don't worry.
Thanks now I dont have to worry about getting loot or hiting players xD.

@Elothar.4382 said:No, it does not. There is a WvW skill... I think it is in the Provisioner line... that allows WvW autoloot..
Thanks, I'll check about it later.

If yes how do I get it to work?

@kharmin.7683 said:It's a free game. ANet has to make money somehow. As fashion wars is such a thing, transmutation stones are one way for them to make money. But, as was previously stated in the thread, transmutation stones are fairly easy to acquire in-game, especially in WvW so you really don't need to buy them.
Not really ''free'', we gotta pay for the expansions and the items on gemstore are paid in $$$.

@GummyBearSummoner.7941 said:I really wish skins from the gem store didn’t require a trans stone. I always found it stupid if I’m being honest
Same here, waste of gems/cash in my opinion. There are many other really nice(and CHEAPER) weapons skins for gold and even for free in game. If they were free of charge then it would worth every cent/gem spent.
-
Thanks for the reply, LOL so there is no points spending 600 gems on an item that is not even unlimited use I better save my gems for something more useful.
-
Are those weapons skins from gemstore unlimited use like the zenith weapons or they cost trasnmutation change to use? I'm thinking to buy this new dreamwalker, same question goes for all gemstore weapons.

@"Infusion.7149" said:Also if using GW2 as a baseline, either CPU will be more than enough so it comes down to which CPU is better overall. That includes memory costs, optional CPU cooler costs, motherboard costs, upgrade ability.In addition, specifically for GW2:i5-8400 is about 50 FPS with a GTX 1050 Ti / GTX 1060 level GPU: https://www.userbenchmark.com/PCGame/FPS-Estimates-Guild-Wars-2/3733/0.355255.0.1080p.0Ryzen 5 2600 about 50 FPS with GTX 1060 level GPU , https://www.userbenchmark.com/PCGame/FPS-Estimates-Guild-Wars-2/3733/0.476362.0.0.0
I'm running the game now on a i3 4160 8GB ram gtx 750 ti frame locked on 60 and I having a satisfatory gameplay experience and my processor is just a i3 not even i5, the R5 2600 combined with a gtx 1050 or rx 570 will be very nice to play many games aiming the 60FPS that is my aim. And that If i play on Ultra Full HD medium-high+, if I set to 900p or even full HD low-medium the results will be way better and get much more frames and the games are still pretty. I preffer stability over beauty.

@KrHome.1920 said:The 9400 will generate much higher fps in GW2 than the 2600.
You waste your time when you watch reviews of other games. GW2 is an old DX9 game that benefits only from up to 6 cores and needs as much IPC performance and clock speed as possible. Both is low on the 2600. That CPU is better than the 9400 in games than can make use of its 12 threads. GW2 can't.
The resident evil remakes do also run better on the 9400 (but it doesn't matter as both CPUs reach framerates way above 60 in these games).
I can't say anything about lost ark.
Intel always will be better than AMD but also more expensive, on the other hand AMD are WAAAY cheaper and the upgrade possibilities and better than intel. The performance of both AMD and intel are almost same the difference is just some frames depending the game, I aways was a big fan of intel but nowadays the AMD processors are very decent and the best part is the price xD.

@"Infusion.7149" said:Don't upgrade your CPU based on temperature...Ryzen 5 2600 has far superior multi-threaded performance in anything not using AVX2 instructions as it has to combine two 128-bit AVX units to achieve ir. Full speed AVX2 instructions were added onto Ryzen 3rd gen.The i5-9400F has 4.1GHz boost clock and a locked multiplier (both CPUs are six cores but this one lacks hyperthreding) so it really isn't superior by much in single threaded/low thread count scenarios such as older game engines. Realistically it's about 10% in a quadcore scenario.
This review pits Ryzen 5 2600X vs i5-9400Fhttps://www.techspot.com/review/1829-intel-core-i5-9400f-vs-amd-ryzen-5-2600x/
For general computing the Ryzen 5 2600X can take advantage of multi-threading capabilities and will be considerably faster than the 9400F on heavy application workloads. Remember the 9400F is only marginally faster than the 8400, so you can safely use the older model as a measuring stick. For rendering and encoding workloads the 2600X is anywhere from 30 to 50% faster.For those wondering about operating temperatures, using the box coolers both CPUs run at a little over 70 degrees with an ambient room temperature of 21 degrees. However where AMD's Wraith Spire is whisper quiet in our Blender stress test, the Intel box cooler sounds like a jet engine when paired with the 9400F. Therefore, you’ll want to spend at least another $25 on a decent cooler to make the thing bearable.If you're mostly playing games on your PC, you will be happy buying either processor. Both proved to be solid options and are evenly matched with a slight advantage to the Intel chip if you don't tune up the Ryzen processor.This is a review pitting ryzen 5 2600 against i5-8400 (similar to i5 9400F but 4.0GHz instead of 4.1GHz)Moving to 1080p we see all margins reduced and here overclocking only provided a 13% performance increase and this meant the 2600 was 7% faster than the 8400 for the 1% low result and just 3% for the average frame rate.The Core i5-8400 was faster in more games out of the box but starts to lose out once the Ryzen 5 2600’s overclockedHmm I see thanks for the info i'll do some more research.

Hey I'm about to upgrade my CPU and I need some help to decide between R5 2600 or I5 9400f. I've been searching and i found that R5 2600 has more possibility of upgrade relation $$$ than the i5 9400, and there is a strong probability I go for the r5 2600 platform but... I'm a little concerned about the temperature I've heard it reach around 70° very easy, while the i5 temperature rarely reaches 60°. So what you guys think? The games i'm interested playing are games like RE remakes, Lost Ark and GW 2 of course.
PS: both upgrade kits are pratically the same price here in my country buying online.

@Psycoprophet.8107 said:It should disappear on its own after a few sec no?
@sevenDEADLY.5281 said:It lasts about 3 seconds then disappears. What's the actual problem here?
Yes yes, well I see there is no way to disable that window so I'll just deal with it, thanks
-
I'm satisfied with the 750 ti, now the limitation is my processor i3 4160 3,6hz that will soon be replaced by one i5 4690 3,5hz. The game runs ok now but in some parts with many players i still get lag due my processor.
These are my settings now http://www.imagebam.com/image/11015b1337342826

Is there any way to remove/disable that annoying window that pops up everytime we log in game?

Even the 50s are rip offs, but they are the only choice if you have a stock prebuild power supply as they mostly do not need external power. All AMD cards in the same price range use a lot more power and need a stronger power supply. That's why they are cheaper.If you must be cheap, get one of theseYou will not be disappointed. Pick one that does not require external power.Here's a comparisonIt's only 800% faster than what you are currently using. More then enough to max GW2 on GPU settings.Thanks, is not that I'm cheap is just I dont have enough cash to buy anything better right now and i REALLY need a video card cuz i'm pratically playing without one. I got the gtx 950 it was the best option I could find with the cash I have now. Later I change processor to i5 4° gen and that shall be enough for now.Haha the seller cancelled so I'll get this gtx 750 ti, accord to this https://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=684&game=Guild+Wars+2&p_make=Intel&p_deriv=Core+i3-4160+3.6GHz&gc_make=Nvidia&gc_deriv=GeForce+GTX+750+Ti&ram=8&checkSubmit=&processor%5B%5D=564&grafcard%5B%5D=328&ram_totalMem=4&game%5B%5D=684#systemRequirements my currently setting with this card is enough to play even on ultra.

@"Infusion.7149" said:I think that what is meant is for an average person the RX 560 / GTX 1050 (designed for 1080p esports titles) at around $100 is a much better buy than a GT 1030 or RX 550.In reality for 1080p you'd want something close to GTX 1650 Super / RX 570 in general. GW2 isn't as graphics intensive so you can get away with a 4GB VRAM card.
For example the PCWorld review of RX 550:
At $80, the Radeon RX 550 certainly isn’t expensive, and it’s more affordable than Nvidia’s ancient $100 GT 740 was—but it’s only $20 cheaper than the $100 Radeon RX 560 cards coming in early May. And if you remember back to the beginning of this review, a Radeon RX 550 is half a RX 560 under the hoodOver at techspot , the price/performance is skewed in favor of the RX 570 and GTX 1650 Super.updated February 23, 2020Sub $100 :For less than $100 we recommend the Radeon RX 560, however do note this GPU's pricing can fluctuate a lot. Only weeks ago the lowest we could find it for was $130 which is too rich for this low-end contender and too close to the much faster RX 570 (next price segment).As before, we recommend steering clear of GTX 1050 variants. The base $140 model contains a measly 2GB of VRAM, and its 4GB alternative brings the cost even higher, which is absurd. The next step up, the Radeon RX 570 is much faster and less expensive.sub $200:Right now the best sub-$200 value-oriented GPU option is the GeForce GTX 1650 Super, with the good old Radeon RX 580 matching its performance. You can snag either for as little as $160 depending on your brand of choice, which is a great deal.Now, if all you care about it getting the most performance for your money, the $125 RX 570 is the next best choice.Eurogamer / Digital Foundry , Updated on 31 January 2020:Best budget graphics card :AMD Radeon RX 570: an older mid-range card available at an entry-level price.With the release of a new generation of Nvidia graphics cards, older AMD cards are seeing significant price drops that bring them into new relevancy. Case in point is the RX 570, a once mid-range card now available for less than our previous budget pick, the GTX 1050 3GB. This card offers good performance at 1080p, even in the latest games, although you may have to turn down a few settings in some games to guarantee a 60fps average.However, the RX 570 does have its share of drawbacks. Chief among these is higher CPU utilisation than similarly powerful cards from Nvidia, so we recommend at least a quad-core processor - preferably a recent AMD Ryzen or Intel Core model - to avoid CPU bottlenecking. The RX 570 also tends to draw more power than the GTX 1060 3GB or GTX 1050 Ti, so it may not work well in systems with limited or non-standard power supplies.It all depends of what alliexpress have availiable when I have the cash cuz i just spent the cash to buy a new monitor since the seller gave up selling his used gtx 1050 and I couldnt find another so I've decided to upgrade my monitor which is still VGA. If they have availiable gtx 1050 or rx 560-570 then i'll buy cuz I intend to get a decent card to use when I upgrade my whole CPU, preferable rx 570 and gtx 1050. I rather spend a little more for a decent CPU.

Thanks for the feedback I already decided, like I said for now I'll get the graphic card then processor i5 or i7 depend the prices aaand later change everything to DDR4 which is better and faster and cheaper than DDR3 and AMD ryzen. Intel is better? yes but also pricey, AMD changed a lot and nowadays they have decent processors with very attractive prices.
@"ArchonWing.9480" said:Normally the CPU is the bottleneck but your graphics card is basically nonexistent. Your system isn't worth upgrading at this point so you'll want a graphics card that you'll want to put in your next computer at least as filler for the future once you've saved some more money but also make it so that you can make the most out of your current rig.
Thus, you don't want a mid range card because you will spend a lot of money on something that won't hold up but you don't want a deadweight card either. So don't get a crappy 1030/550.
Instead spend $30 more to get the Rx 560 which is much better. It's slightly worse than the 1050 but that card is overpriced and you could get way better cards for a little more.
You'll be able to play many more games. If all you care about is Gw2, you may not need a new computer at all, until your current one dies.
I don't think RX 550 and gtx 1030 are crappy those are decent vid cards, depend the game the person will play but for newly games they are not recommended, in my case GW2 and Lost Ark in future when they release in USA and I have a decent CPU. Obviously there are better options but those two cards are still good.

@ArmoredVehicle.2849 said:The i3-4160 still holds up quite well for most games and in the case of GW2 it will perform very adequately in most areas, in crowded battles though you'll have to reduce Shadows and Character Model Limit+Quality. Upgrading your GPU is the sanest choice here.
As for your CPU, even if you get the money, don't bother upgrading it to a better one that uses the same motherboard socket. Better off saving up for a Ryzen 3600 or equivalent 9th Gen Intel i5.
Yup I'll probably get a i5 after the vid card even a i7 4° gen if I can find a good price and more forward the probability I change to ryzen is very high. Things are hard over here in brazil and I'm not working and with dollar high is very difficulty for me to buy the things. The limitation here is my processor :(, when I bought my PC I paid for a 6° gen and the guy sold me one 4° and i found out after two years my processor was 4th gen, i didnt really knew much by that time but now i know. Thanks for all the feedback.
The game will do ok even with a rx 550, so anything better than that shall be fine.
Any chance of Anet bring at least one more elite spec?

We hope so and that is one more reason to get people to spend a little more and also for anet to fix some 'missing parts(skills)' for the classes. Everyone gets happy players that will get new skills and weapons for the classes and anet who will earn more $$$$ xD. I still have hope to see ranger with pistol/dual pistol or rifle hehe(new pets too).
