Sympathetic Visage Killed My Guild Wars

You haven't got enough power in your computer. How many Watts do you have?
You need 400W+ I think.

On topic: I won't be able to test this, but it seems pretty bad. Hope Anet can do something about it x.x

I laughed hard at that screenie, even harder when i did it myself, but then i have always liked your slant on builds DFNP, ever since i stumbled on an ettin farming set up, with conjure flame and frenzy..... keep up the good work.
great sir s
imagine on HM when they attack faster xD youd need a supercomputer ;o

Since this started, I've been using an e/me sliver build down there, running dual visage. Slows me down a bit, but nothing too serious. It's something different to farm. Thanks for the idea.

The 2 brands go back and forth so often trumping each other with new technology that it doesn't even matter... wait a few months and the others new release is "better" ... etc

It sounds like what causes the crash is a buffer overflow probably in the drawing buffer although could be in the engine message buffer.

Texmod is definitely part of the problem for those that are crashing running it, for those that think that it doesnt slow your machine operating it, you are just fooling yourself.

i dont really think this is a bug. i think its just overload on your computer. if you calculate everything, its a TON of numbers per second. i tried this a while back on the halycon job sins. i think the number is 27 sins when u aggro them all. so lets just say they attack like once per second.
one hit from one guy triggers the -3.....27 times
one hit from 27 guys triggers the -3.....27x27 = 729 times
8second visage triggers the -3............729x8 = 5832 times
2 visages at same time triggers the -3..5832x2= 11664 times
i never see more than maybe 100 -3s (im estimating) on my screen. so that means there are hundreds or thousands of -3s that dont fit on my screen but my computer is putting out them out anyways. i guess if your screens width was like a mile long, you can see them all.
so pretty much, if you dont own a high end type computer, find a different build or aggro less enemies. i cant visage 27 sins but i can dual visage 10.
this is one occasion that im glad that enemies flee, otherwise i couldnt 600 foundry. when i hit that visage and famine is dealin dmg, they flee after a few sec. if they didnt, i would be pwned by the -3s and my comp would crash.

I still don't see an answer to:
Is this crashing your client only or the whole instance?
Just carry someone around and ask what happens when you crash.
If you get the 'do you want to reconnect?" dialog then you're doing absolutely nothing to your instance or the server. If this could crash the servers it would be very funny ^^ yay for buffer overflows

i had a e/me earth build for farming here before my 2nd account got factions (couldnt use shadowform) and yeah all the pink numbers occasionally made me crash, especially when mixed with sandstorm + dragons stomp + aftershock
when i say occasionally, i mean about half the time -.-

There should be.
cerb
Me and Avarre were trying to aggro as many smites as we could yesterday, got a 26 smites & 9 coldfires aggro (all the groups we could pull) and after he cast SV, my computer (MacBook) literally froze. His computer didn't, but that's probably because he wasn't seeing all the -3's from SV and the -0's from SoA. I think I'll report to ANet, maybe they can fix it so it displays less numbers against big aggros. (We already did something like 9 colds and 17 smites with no problem)
Liberations
Ati cards don't suck...
That's cool... I wonder if there's a way to make even more 3s....

I know! Get a hero/buddy to come with you as a Mo/x or x/Mo. Make him/her/hero bring healing seed. Meanwhile, bring your Rt/me or Me/rt there and equip vhengful was Khanai. Run in use the two SVs, cast healing seed, hit Vhengful was Khanai. That would be very interesting to see.

I used to do a similar farm on the Shiro'ken at Unwaking, using their Famine against them. Way back before the Spirit Bond Nerf. Never crashed once. Hmm.....

It is possible the Seed of Life thing is the same.
Eldin
Maybe the amount of 3's added up to 666. Aggro less raptors next time!

When the nVidia logo says "The way it's meant to be played" it's not just propaganda. It's pure truth.
No wonder why most Farb-rausch members use nVidia cards. Like it or not. Pure truth.
P.D.: No, nVidia didn't pay me to say this, XD.
beregond
nVidia just simply pwns ATI. There is no doubt about it.
Eldin
I prefer nVidia for two reasons:
1) SEXIER LOGO!
2) Easier to tell models apart. Generally higher number = higher performance (with exceptions, such as the lower-numbered models in a family like the GeForce 7300 which is basically a GeForce 5500 but with DX9 support), whilst with ATi it's all topsy turvy. It's like the Ultra X1900 is WEAKER than the totally-amateurishly-named Radeon 200. Or some craziness like that.

Even though this thread is old I shall respond because it's not ancient enough to need to stay dead, and because I am bored.
I don't recall there being enough Shiro'ken to do it. I know cerb crashed when there were 20-30 mobs being hit by SV at once, and I think there were under 20 Shiro'ken from the pull around the temple? I could be wrong, it's been awhile.

I've done this on a computer without a graphics card, only a "media accelerator," a laptop, same result. Fun stuff though.
Alleji
I used to farm outside harvest temple a year ago with SV on a much crappier computer and saw about the same number of -3's. Mine didn't crash... just lagged down to about 10 FPS.
