Sympathetic Visage Killed My Guild Wars
ShadowsRequiem
umm wouldnt a warrior suck at farming these though? They have the crit defenses right?
Glad to know someone else is having puter problems >_>

My guild is trying to replicate this, and we've yet to crash, but we have gotten a crapload of numbers.
And his comp stats aren't as good as the OPs

Hmm, are you running TexMod? I think I see the spirit circle on your screenshot. Try it without, and see what happens- you never know.
sykoone
I think there's only one or two people in my guild that don't run it. As much work as we put into mods, none of it start guild wars without it. It shouldn't make a difference anyways, but if it does, then that would be one heck of a bonus.

Crit defenses cost energy. You put up your armor, you hit your visage, and after a second when their energy is drained you hit up with the mass attacks and they drop pretty quick.
Of course, that is, if they didn't crash the game.

lol, have someone cast Famine and then try.
HawkofStorms
Yeah... still think a tera tank with SV/AV (like the UW set up) would work just as well.
undeadgun
need reverse the energy bar and health bar on those little buggers lol

I tried making the size of the damamge icon or whatever smaller. I could see a ton of -3's pop up, it got a little laggy but didnt crash, however I was hit with a ton of litt -1 all the way to -5 and eventually died by the onslaught, werent sure how you were planning to take them out. I even used my armor the with -3 insignias and -3 absportion
EDIT: Dont know if the OP did it in normal mode, probably did, I tried in normal mode many 0's, but hardmode is another story,

It could have to do with the insane amounts of particles being produced from the visages....

this can't be exploited in pvp to overload someone elses client, or can it?
Amadei
Got nothing constructive to add, but those are some epic screenies.
Arduin
Cool...going to give it a try too ^^
Yeah..... it crashed
Only if you are able to bring 30+ fast hitting enemies to PvP...
Yeah..... it crashed

Sweet!
Kinda shows the state of GW if the thing to do is to crash GW!
But seriously - looking good!

When I first started playing Guild Wars, I wondered why I couldn't see everyone's damage and healing numbers.
In other games I've played it shows all that in grey.
I think now I know why.
I bet the devs know about this limitation and had to design around it.

Visages were used for farming Shiro'ken LONG ago. They didn't kill the skills then, they won't now.

Its possible that the problem isnt in the numbers at all, but rather in the trigger effect of SV. Try disabling every fancy screen effect in the graphics screen.
I wonder how my old Ettin Harvester build would work on them.

Did NOT crash.
This could be the reason for the OP's crash: AMD Athlon + Motherboard.
I think we can rule out ATI graphics cards as the reason, as it works with my mobile Radeon.
I just wonder why it happened to a Core 2 Duo, too. But at least it only froze and did not crash the system.
P.S.: Why do you kill baby raptors around xmas? Do they drop good stuff or just for Asura points?

Ele swords and heaps of crap golds for your wisdom title. In my experience they drop tons of dyes as well.

Guys, remember some of us need to have BOTH visages up for this to happen, sykoone, you only had one up.
Also, i cant see how this bug would lead to a NERF of the visages, that just doesnt make any sense..

Thou, i think it would be easy fix, because sympthoms point to game not handling properly huge amount of things (fixed size undersized array that stores "particle" objects?), which means that as little as increasing one constant could help.
Roman
Well, we can rule out the AMD Athlon + Motherboard as reason too, since i have a Gigabyte motherboard and an Intel CPU.. I dont think this is hardware related.

that is so great. Nice build by the way. Might try it out in other areas
tipiak
- try to set the graphics lower
- try to switch off after-processing graphics
- try to switch off interface : Ctrl+Shift+H or Alt+Shift+H, I can't remember
Otherwise, it could be an "WTH_too_much_info_GOREDENGINEGOREDENGINE
GOREDENGINEGOREDENGINE_lag_kill_myself_computer_sh utdown" thingy.

The OP's build is pretty bad anyways it has no healing skill, couldn't possibly work anywhere in HM without some form of healing skill.

Also, wary stance will protect against all damage from the raptors should your HP start going down, but I'm sure the OP build could manage the raptors fine.
After all, look at how many hits he/she has taken in the OP's picture, and look at the red HP bar. It hasnt even taken any damage.

Try lowering the graphics settings, in particular the shader quality.

Yes thats what I thought. Maybe other people that didnt crash didnt aggro all of them too. I need to find somewhere without interupts to test this build though.
BTW why does guru show the kinetic armor picture for armor of earth? Crazy.
