  1. Who? A guild by and for EU players who feel hesitant, insecure, or afraid of endgame group content. We started as a group of first-timers and decided that the community needed a space to go into raids, strikes, fractals, etc, with the mindset that failing is Okay. We jump in with: No expectations to succeed, only to learn No build or gear checks of any kind No DPS checks or any such number, be it heal or boon uptime. If we have to wipe for an hour until we all learn, we will. Our runs can be: Fully blind, in which you and other first-timers figure it all out in the spot, together, and enjoy the great accomplishment that is solving a puzzle by yourselves Guided runs, in which a veteran takes the time to explain, and discuss doubts. - No commander rank We're one of the few guilds in which even a first-timer can request an event to be added to our schedule. Ask and it will be set up. Command it yourself or ask a seasoned member to help you out. Our entire schedule is run by the members. Be selfish! - Learn to lead Take a group for a ride and learn to lead. What you don't know, the collective will help with. - Everyone is welcome to any event, always That is our default. Every run is for everyone. - No bureaucracy See a spot at an event? Take it. Very easy sign-up with Aleeva. - No representation needed, ever Even joining the in-game guild is optional (though we have a fully maxed-out hall at your disposal). ALL our commanders started out as first-timers, failing a lot, together. We want to give you the same opportunity, and provide you with the same path towards legendary gear that was once provided for us. If you've had terrible LFG experiences, if KP scares you, if all you need is a safe place to wipe and fail and go at your own pace, you just found it. Let's go: https://discord.gg/MxyYDUrYx4
  2. Are you level 80 and looking to get actively involved with end game content but don't know where to start? Ever feel timid to join groups because you don't know what you're doing? Have a bad experience using LFG? Join BAD and never feel that way again. We're a group of inexperienced players that banded together on the game's main sub and we've got the perfect space for players like you. Our goal: maintain a comfortable space for level 80 players who want to get into dungeons, fractals, strikes, and even raids without pressure. Experience is not a requirement. DPS checks are not a thing. Specific builds are not required. All we ask is for you to keep a positive attitude while learning - and failing - content together. We're open to active level 80 players ready to learn or continue through end-game content. Most runs will have guidance from players who have learned with us and now lead events, but some runs may also be fully blind where you'll learn together with other inexperienced players. We all know what it's like to be new and totally confused by mechanics but we'll figure it out together and get better. Hop in, talk to us, check us out - no commitment! https://discord.gg/MxyYDUrYx4
  3. September, 13 - four months after the first report on this thread - still happening. I would think this was an important fix.
  4. Are you level 80 and looking to get actively involved with end-game content but don't know where to start? Ever feel timid to join groups because you don't know what you're doing? Have a bad experience using LFG? Join [BAD] and never feel that way again! We're a group of inexperienced players that banded together on the game's main reddit sub and we've got the perfect space for players like you. Our goal: maintain a comfortable space for level 80 players who want to get into dungeons, fractals, strikes, and even raids without pressure. Experience is not a requirement. DPS checks are not a thing. Specific builds are not required. All we ask is for you to actively participate and keep a positive attitude while learning - and failing - content together. We're open to active, level 80 players in both EU & NA. Some runs will be fully blind and you can learn together with other inexperienced players, while other runs may have guidance from helpful veterans. Many of our players have gone from zero experience to leading raids and strikes. We all know what it's like to be new and totally confused by mechanics but we'll figure it out together and get better. Note: most NA events run eastern standard time, for now, while EU event times will vary. Discord: https://discord.gg/MxyYDUrYx4

But don't just take my word for it, hop over to our discord and chat up our members: https://discord.gg/MxyYDUrYx4 Ask anything, join for some laughs while wiping, learning, and, in your own time, succeeding.
  6. I've seen a number of comments from inexperienced players who are timid to try end-game content. Maybe you don't think you're good enough or you've had a bad experience with LFG. Well, a group of us banded together after some similar comments and created a space for players like you. We're a group of players with varying levels of experience looking to learn - and fail - together. We're not demanding comps or doing DPS checks or asking for abbreviated things we don't even understand. If we win that's great but we totally expect to fail and learn together. We're open to both NA and EU players looking to run strikes, challenge modes, and other end-game content. Fully blind runs in which you learn together with other inexperienced players, or with a little guidance from helpful veterans. All we ask is that you be excellent to each other and accept failure as a real possibility until we learn together. Join us on Discord: https://discord.gg/MxyYDUrYx4

  8. @Ashantara.8731 After 30 minutes of play time (usually enough to trigger the slow-mos, although it's now behaving fairly well), it's always between 72-73 degrees.
  9. @Healix.5819 Unfortunately, the problem remains albeit having a) switched off the second screen; b) closed everything; c) rebooted; d) closed every single non essential process; e) playing at the minimum possible settings (keeping native resolution, windowed full-screen mode); f) disabling all overlays (everything BlisHUD and arcdps); g) disabling DX11; h) confirming the drivers were updated; i) the laptop is set to high performance, plugged in, and the game is using the correct GPU. HOWEVER, it happens significantly less, and I consider it playable. I don't find this satisfactory only because I used to play just fine without all these extra steps for 3 years now. It might be that my hardware is just degrading - is that a thing? I have also not wiped this PC or reinstalled the OS since I got it (those same 3 years) since it hasn't slowed down aside from this situation. Maybe I should do that. @Ashantara.8731 Yes, as hot as usual. Even the fan sound isn't always at its maximum, and the laptop is moderately hot in one specific area where it always heats up a bit when I do any heavy processing. An added detail: in my attempts to figure out where the issue came from, I took the laptop to work and ran GW2 in my lunch time (with ALL the precautions listed above) and it was significantly worse. Unplayable. One of the differences was that I was connected to an eduroam wi-fi network (I work at a university). Maybe it's connection-related?
  10. Thank you for your answer. I went ahead and confirmed that the GPU usage is mostly at 90-100% all the time. Sometimes the stutter/slowing happens, sometimes it doesn't. I also confirm that I have been using a second screen with other windows open. I am now playing without the second screen at all, but, in my ignorance, I don't know if this would take some load off the GPU - If you have any thoughts on this, I'd love to hear it, as well as any other tips for someone playing on a mediocre laptop. I find it strange that this hasn't happened for years (I've been playing since pre-launch betas, with worse laptops, and on this one for 3 years) and now happens all the time even in core maps. Anyway, thank you again.
  11. Hey. Sorry to resurrect this thread but did you ever find a solution or a cause for this? I'm having the same issue.
  12. Just want to add that this worked the first time around. I jumped into the pit, far from Braham, got downed, Braham started coming to revive me but I died before. He just stood standing in the middle of the mobs but the dialogue triggered and the story progressed. Thank you
  13. No worries; I have a US resident friend that will receive it at his address and send me a photo of the scratched off card. Thank you for the confirmation!
  14. I have a EU account. If I get a hold of one of these cards, the code should work on my account, right? Gem cards aren't region-locked - correct?I know the necessary info to answer this question is not on the text; I'm hoping someone here has been in this situation and has an answer.
  15. That seems, in hindsight, like a place I should have checked. What an oversight. Thank you!
