Known bug that gets no attention. Many way points are not visible from the Sanctuary.Not to mention being unable to click and go to a WP link from Sanctuary at all.Just two examples: Tangled Depths Auric Basin

Indeed you are correct. For some reason I was thinking about the old days of Windows XP that did not have PS till SP3. My bad.

wget.exe is just an executable. There is no install.If you know a better way of doing the same thing, modify to your hearts content and maybe share with us :)Keep in mind that many still use Windows 7 that does not have PS by default.

This is a simple HowTo for automatic installation and updating of ArcDPS from https://www.deltaconnected.com/arcdpsIf you do not know what ArcDPS is, read about it first on the above mentioned URL.This is not a discussion about "Is a DPS meter toxic or not". It is your choice if you want to use it or not. Just keep it to yourself and improve your own skills.If you want to know more about Anet's stance on ArcDPS, search this forum, but in short: "in the feb 2017 ama, arenanet has granted 3rd party tools permission to collect and display combat stats via means previously not allowed. these are runtime modifications only, no changes are made to files on disk." WARNING: MODIFYING GUILD WARS 2 THROUGH ANY 3RD PARTY TOOLS IS NOT SUPPORTED BY ARENANET OR NCSOFT.THERE IS NO HELP OR WARRANTY. THIS IS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK AND YOU ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITYFOR USING THIS TOOL. IF YOU FEEL THIS PROVIDES GAMEPLAY ADVANTAGE OR AUTOMATION OR BREAKS ANY OTHERRULES DO NOT USE THIS.IMPORTANT: DO NOT CONTACT ARENANET SUPPORT WHILE USING THIS MODIFICATION BY ANY MEANS OR UNDERANY CIRCUMSTANCES EVER. With so many updates to the Guild Wars 2 client requiring ArcDPS to be updated also, I decided to write a small auto updater/installer for a small personal QoL improvement.The script is a plain batch file, everyone can see whats inside it, so please, no questions about it's safety or if it is a virus.Prior to running anything listed here, please scan the files with your antivirus software or use https://www.virustotal.com to check them online against multiple antivirus engines.Also take a good look inside run.bat, the file that actually does the install/update. The batch file will only try to download 1 file required for ArcDPS, d3d9.dll What you needwget for windows from https://eternallybored.org/misc/wget/Copy the file wget.exe in your Guild Wars 2 root folder, where Gw2-64.exe file is.Required by the update batch file.DirectX runtimes from https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=8109Install it.Required by ArcDPSVisual ++ 2013 redist from https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3179560/update-for-visual-c-2013-and-visual-c-redistributable-packageInstall it.Required by ArcDPSThe actual batch file that will install and update ArcDPS from https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YdP3x5ZKA6IoT4emS1sxhYA69Jufb7ZVCopy the file run.bat in your Guild Wars 2 root folder, where Gw2-64.exe file is.How to run it and some infoAlways start Guild Wars 2 via run.bat batch file if you want ArcDPS to be automatically updated.If you do not have ArcDPS, the script will download it automatically on the 1st run.If you have it installed, the script will only check if a new version exists online and only download if needed.Sometimes, after a Guild Wars 2 client update, ArcDPS might cause the client to crash. Usually, ArcDPS dev will update fast, but in case the update is delayed , just delete d3d9.dll file from bin64 subfolder in your Guild Wars 2 install directory. On the next run, the file will be downloaded again by run.bat batch file. I hope this will help someone and also that posting this here will not break any of Anet's terms of service.

I am all for better tech implemented in GW2, such as newer DX, but crashing is not one of the problems DX9 has.I am using ArcDPS and gw2hook for better graphics and I do not have any crashes whatsoever.Then again, I lost a lot of time testing my system to make sure it is as stable as it can be. I see many people getting new rigs and overclocking the kittycat out of them. The more Ghz, the better. But unfortunately, without making sure their systems are stable.

Being irritated by such things as people expecting you to be in a squad when doing group content....I understand you. Those monsters!

I figured out a while ago that all the swimming blue letters on screen gave me headaches, weirdly enough. As soon as I started leaving squads after Taxiing I've not had a tension headache from gaming since. Just because you don't get it, doesn't mean that people that want to hide players names in a squads only give a kitten about themselves in game (How do you get to this conclusion, everyone plays for themselves regardless, some of us would rather not be in pain to do so). If you get headaches from just some name plates, maybe you have bigger problems.I am not even kidding. Consult some ORL professional. Your eyes might need some attention.Or any other professional your might need.

For some reason I have never been distracted by the name plates.It actually helps me see who is doing what. Health bar is a big plus.I think most people get distracted by the rest of visual effects and think that getting rid of name plates will help them somehow.Don't get me wrong, I am not against an option like the one requested here, but at the same time I can't stop and think to myself that people requesting this don't give a rats ass about anyone else but them while in a squad.

For all wanna be heroes @ 99 and 100 CM (and more) going splat and crying "healer very sux", please: stop standing in all possible AoEsyou need to actually be near the healer to get healed. A bit harder when on the opposite side of the boss.having a healer does not mean you get to stack on the boss and smash skill 1 while dropping a nice shiny Flux Bomb, standing on other people while having Social Awkwardness and thinking Last Laugh is a new show on Comedy CentralI wish a healer could mitigate all that damage, but it does not work like thatYes, sometimes healer might very well "very sux". But look 1st in the mirror and think that others play that content without ANY healer.

I do not see a way to report people who buy gems with real money, then buying all the radiant dust from the market, creating a real advantage for them and a real disadvantage for me when need to buy radiant dust!They don't even have to be afk at all! Just input CC details and bam!Wait, I never buy radiant dust...

Did a lot of dungeon runs to finish my dungeon collections.Most people don't bother getting dungeon specific food, so I usually bought food for all the dungeons I planned doing that run.Now...I had to email those to the party. Oh joy oh joy "your message was suppressed"Would be nice to increase the limit to 5-10 emails for those in the same party/squad/guild/fiend list.Guess we should not hold our breath tho until this might get implemented.

Same thing here.3rd run, opened Gendarran and from then on, all chests appear opened and I cannot interact with them.Tried multiple characters and all other maps.

I don't get it. Why create this post?Never heard about this Steve.

"A considerable amount of time had passed (30min to an hour)" :astonished:It took 6 hours for us to get Migraine. With all the disconnects and stuff.Nobody cares about fixing it after such a long time.
