Guild Wars 2

Does anyone else have a ~1-1.5 second delay between pressing F and your character actually picking up the reflecting crystal in the jade maw fractal? The past few times I’ve run this fractal I’ve ended up dying a lot to his beam attack because my character just doesn’t pick up the crystal right away, and I’m not sure if its something on my end (eg high ping or something else) or if it is a problem that others are also having

Make sure you aren’t casting a skill while trying to pick it up, don’t spam the interact key, and last but not least, bundle pick-up has always had problems, plan ahead.

You can also easily dodge the beam attack with right timing.

Yup having the same thing. Because of the depay, it’s better for me to dodge/evade than pick up a crystal unless I do it WWWWAAY in advance

Ohhh I didn’t know that attack was dodgeable, will definitely be using that from now on. And thanks for the advice on picking up the crystals

When the mark goes away from above your head dodge it hits you slightly after that mark goes away. Ideally you want a crystal of course so you can damage the Jade Maw, but better to be alive and miss an opportunity than dead and have failed anyways.
