Sympathetic Visage Killed My Guild Wars

After abit of messing around with raptor farming builds i decided to try out a visage build.

[skill]Triple Chop[/skill][skill]Cyclone Axe[/skill][skill]Sympathetic Visage[/skill][skill]Ancestor's Visage[/skill][skill]Wary Stance[/skill][skill]Dolyak Signet[/skill][skill]Physical Resistance[/skill]

Do you like numbers? i like numbers, but guild wars.. does not like numbers.



I crashed my pc 6 times before finding out it was the -3's that kept killing the client, and then to try and get a screen i reduced my graphics and the number size to a minimum and it last less than 5 seconds. And im pretty sure it doesn't say on the back of eye of the north "Btw using a visage on the raptors outside rata sum will kill your guild wars client."

My System
Amd Athlon 3000+ 64bit
1GB of Ram
512mb Ati Radeon X1650 (full eye candy = 50fps)
Res 1440x900
Im pretty sure im way over the Minimum Req for the game.

If anyone wants to test this themsevles, gather with physical resistance, stop and use dolyak signet and then wary stance -> visage. The idea was that once i got visage down i could gain energy with a zealous weapon, but i never got close to that part.

I also have tried without texmod btw and same result

and also

dont flame the build, i was just on a test run LOL

That's one hell of an anti-farming code.

That's pretty insane. Nice build idea.


And yes, this should be looked over by the Tech team. Your system should be able to handle that no problem.

It would be better if you had placed this in the bugs section, but yea, thats a damn lot of 3's. Maybe GW cant handle that many 3's

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

This used to happen on my old PC which was lower spec than my current one. I'd have to reboot Windows altogether if I aggravated too many foes with SV/AV.

Anet will fix your issue by a) nerfing the farming spot or b) nerfing SV/AV again. It's how they roll.

I've tried it as well with some monk build, quickly made just to tank them, and i got the same result: client crash without any errors... Result screens:

Both visages cast..


This one shows slowing down of client already.. and a strange blue glow around me. 1 second after this screenshot, my screen froze completely, only to be solved with control alt delete..


System specs:

intel core2duo e6850
geforce 8800gt 512mb
2gb ddr2 ram


Weird shit.

one kind of problem, that can easily solved, by reducing the maximum amout of damage digits, that will be show on screen ...


damage will be made..but not every damage wil be shown ...problem solved
so when you encounter big groups, which would normaly end up in floodign the screen with -3's ....then the game reduces by itself the number of shown -3's so that the game won't be killed

I got curious so I tried it on my my warrior, i casted both visages and the 3s piled up (medium sized) there was a rectangle of em on my screen when it froze, all you could see is my warrior and alot of purple surrounding him, i waited it out and a few minutes later hes on the rez shrine with 15dp and the screenshot i took ended up of him being on the rez shrine and not of the mass carnage =/

Now, did you kill the client, or the client and the server? That's the question...

well guess what that means.....no farming there

but that's ALOT more 3's i seen then screenshots of SV/AV in UW(the mesmer warrior one)....so yeah....you'd crash too probably if you're the client.....

but then again, Anet COULD just made this on purpose to prevent mass farming.(yeah....crash our computers,,,,way to go ) But i'm only speculating btw.

That would be amazing.

on topic: Maybe it has something to do with all the numbers stacking on the edge of the screen. Have you tried turning the numbers off and doing it?
