Guild Wars 2

The sad part is the only time in which my lag is tolerable enough to actively play atm is at night when everybody is sleeping. Then for some reason this level 3 communication doesn’t give me 70-100% packet loss

I don’t know if you have tried this yet, but have you tried a routing service? Try WTFast for one month, and see if this resolves the issue. It does cost a little bit of money, but you will be all to figure out if this is the problem. If it does, it means that the problem is communication between your ISP and the servers for Guild Wars 2. If this is the case, this is a very frustrating problem because neither your ISP or ArenaNet will assume responsibility for it, because they can’t do anything about it. The problem is the data centers in between the two. I had this problem a few years ago when I played World of Warcraft; it was usually due to poor maintenance during intense heat or summer. There is no way to contact the companies that are charged with maintaining these data centers. I eventually just got a new ISP.

If everything else with your Internet works fine, this is probably what’s going on.

Here https://youtu.be/K4U4bUt-xlE is a version without getting hit. Some mistakes and weird stuff but does the concept seem ok?

I like it better than the first one. It’s about as exciting to watch as any solo that’s more or less kiting around a pillar, but the extra challenges you added (at level, no dodge, no damage) make it much more interesting. That, and I can’t even imagine the amount of solo AC farming you’ve been doing to get the troll RNG to play nice :P

One suggestion for the video, at the beginning where you list the conditions of the fight, add that it’s at level.

Here are two cleaner ones:

http://youtu.be/ByNj4DX2FzA (no luck, more control)

Which one you guys prefer for reddit? I like the latter.

The second one. Can you change “About same level” to your necro’s actual level? And add some music please :p

Gosh, this is such a treat to my eyes.

I like the second one.

Did they fix glitching into CoE when it’s contested? I wanted to do some dungeons after 2 months and it ports me back outside the gate when the popup for open explorable/path mode should happen. o.O

That was like…the only good thing about CoE.

I’m compiling all the wisp combinations in Swamp. Do I miss anything?

I have a new endgame here. To try to sell fractal 50 to my guildies, I unleashed a storm, so fun.

Is the teleport to get both consoles done still not working

It never stopped working

Channel at 2x panels. Allow it to complete. Blink to other spot. Weapon swap (or drap a bundle). Channel again.

Easier if you use Quickness on the first channel.

Oh trust me I’ve tried dozens of WTFast servers. The truth is sometimes it helps but it’s not consistent at all. I lag both with and without it, sometimes I lag even more with it than without.

This indicates to me that the problem is both a combination of my terrible internet and the communication between my ISP and the ncsoft servers.

Unfortunately, a new ISP is out of the question as Time Warner has a monopoly on my area.

Btw I greatly appreciate the attempt to help me!

Are you sure? Because when I try to jump in, which is something I was able to pull off consistently before, it teleports me in front of the gate – this has NEVER occured to me before.

Imagine if there was a small spot which popped up the dungeon entrance select screen, they’ve put a “teleporter” in front of the gates there instead. That’s how I imagine it, anyway. I’ve seen such a “quick and dirty” bug fix before, in older games, many times.

Sounds like the balcony in CM, or the ooze coral safespot in Arah p1. It’s a popular bandaid for this game.

Can we get this stickied? It’s a useful bit of information to have.

I just did it on the first try. Both sides work just fine. Or it was a ninja fix and my instance is still not patched.

Can also confirm that it is still doable!

So re-did some of the story dungeons the other night. First time in a while.

Given the lack of Dungeon like content rewards should be increased for story and some tokens added to it. This won’t really fix anything but it will make those paths more desirable, as a bandaid fix.

Thanks, I probably just suck then.

EDIT; I just pulled it off in first time as well. Weird.

EDIT#2: Wait, did you two try it on contested or uncontested map? Because I couldn’t pull it off on contested, but was able to on uncontested.

Yesterday I got in with gate in contested state. Maybe I’ll re-up the video on how to do it, I did find a somewhat easier way to do the jump, maybe that’s why I’m getting in pretty much every time.

Jumped in on the left side on contested then relogged to uncontested and did that on the right side.

Poor Cezton.

Didn’t get any answers on his threads for three years, then I try to help him out, and they lock the threads.

I guess he’s not meant to be helped :-(

sometimes I think you just look for ways to get infracted.

In his last post ever 2 years ago he was hyped for new content.

I’m sure he’s still waiting for it, with that exact look on his face :P

No PvF XP from that, though they were locked within minutes of being bumped. The mods must get notifications when threads are bumped.

Clearly, there’s someone monitoring us, making sure we are contained in here and can’t get outside.

Monitoring dungeon forum must be some sort of punishment there.

Hence why its called the dungeon forums

It is me, or good rng comes for periods*? Got two weapons chest on fractals yesterdat
y and another one on tequ this morning.

*buena racha= spell of good luck according word reference?

I had, you know, a nightmare a few months ago.
I was watching the preview for the ranger’s specialisation, and Colin was explaining how you were unable to control your pet while in druid “form”; the pet was absolutely huge (pretty cool), about 3 times your size, and simply rampaged through everything like a rabid lordbyron, aggroing every mob in the way. thinks about more ways to use stat names /nevermind
Instead of f1, f2 and pet swap, you were getting some kind of skills that buffed your pet, and you basically just sat back with lb/staff, watching.
Today I find this

Could it be any scarier?
…at least glyphs are good aoe damage and control. Eh? Aren’t they? Yes?

Awww man, I can’t make any topics in General, they are instantly moved to Community Creations! How can I have my say on why the dungeon/fractal people are not devils if no one can see the topic. It is a sad day for my Mesmer and her cat.

EDIT: At least now I understood why. Well, guess I will be requesting the opinions of your guys only from now on. Hello to everyone!

I think there’s a new mod — one with OCD. A lot of topics have been getting moved lately….

They are real life persons? Awwww man, I thought they were scripts. I guess if I talk too much I will get infraction points. A sad day indeed. Got to find another way to make myself heard. Hmmm…what would a Mesmer mantra hybrid healer/EBLZ 300-K.D Gear/1.2 TPS Traited with Rejuvenation Agro do in this situation

We sold a couple of fractals yesterday (4 man them). We were lucky and got molten duo both on lv 50 and 40. So what we did is to kill the berserker and then offer the fractal. We had no problems with the lv 50 selling, but the guy who bought lv 40 claimed he didn’t get the fractal chest, although he got the boss chest (he did not participate in the fight at all). So, is that possible? My guess is that he already did some 31-40 fractal before but he claimed otherwise.

As long as the person is in before the popup appears he’ll get the daily and since he got the boss chest it’s obvious he was in. Probably had done (bought) that tier earlier or just didn’t have high enough personal level to get the daily.

Oh, the personal level, haven’t thought on that. That may be it… Or he just was trying to get his money back.
Ty, I was a little worried.

Conflicted about pugs.

I like to think I am a nice guy and I am willing to help out, and teach those willing to learn.

But at the same time, when I feel some one is leaching off me and I am carrying them I tend to get annoyed.

/sigh

Happens all the time, just like my yesterday’s Arah run. “zerks only blah blah speedrun” type lfg post yet the mes who made the lfg is 100% pvt. I asked why the heck is lfg asking for zerks only when he himself isn’t 3 times throughout the run but got silent treatment for each.

More than happy to teach/help/carry anyone who is open about it, given that it’s not a group asking for experienced players or anything they don’t fit, but honestly often even then if they’re willing to admit they’re new and would like to learn.

People who try to sneak in, yup, very annoying.

Actually I am in the opposite situation but don’t know what to do. When I go to a dungeon with my guild they always advertised the lfg as “80 exp zerk meta” though most of the time I don’t have a meta build and not always zerk gear…. but I don’t hide it, guildies are aware of it. Same for my bf in the group. So sometimes we are 4 with 2 being meta and 2 not and they insist on the the pus being meta…. every time I feel guilty ……

Use google.

“Your query here” site: “URL HERE”

lol, yeah I was just being snarky. Honestly, I’d love it if ArenaNet would replace the search box with one that just calls out to google….

Weth, the search looks nice, but I noticed that a lot of damage numbers are broken — for instance, Spider Queen’s melee damage is NaN’d. Same with the generic “Spider” too. (guess what I searched for :P )

Ye, I just fixed that about 30 mins ago. You probably have the old javascript file cached.

Sure enough, Shift+F5 fixed it \o/

One thing I’m missing UI-wise is a hint as to how the “filters” input is meant to be used. Looks good otherwise

I actually panicked when the query gave nothing after I put my name into the search box… /o\

Seriously, I like the tag system. It helps me browse through without having a definite name in mind. And… where can I find Illusionary Mage in Ascalonian Catacomb? :O

Regardless of what VPN server I try, I still get stuff like this happening >.<
