Guild Wars 2

I’ve noticed that quite frequently the first few snowballs that roll down the hill do not load at all, I presume this is because they had already spawned by the time I got within render range. This means I need to wait an additional 10-15 seconds before I can start that section unless I memorise the timing of all the snowballs in relation to the aoes or the snowballs two places behind them.

More problematic is when the snowflakes do not load properly or at all, I’ve had the entire first section of the puzzle appear half-melted and barely existent on one run and failed a few others because they just stopped appearing in front of me (but I’ve seen others continue past me by jumping on the completely invisible snowflakes, so it’s a local problem.)

Render/graphical settings haven’t seemed to help the issue at all, but I also don’t see it plastered all over the forums so I’m assuming it doesn’t happen to everyone. Is it perhaps ping related?

This also happening to me. Especially with the red circles for the falling snowballs that send you flying. Im NO WHERE NEAR these circles, and my character gets flung all over hells half acre. Infact, they don’t even show up at all sometimes and I’m gonna be flung off the ledge. (This is not the snowman wind btw)

The Wintersday JP desyncs graphically from my client so often, I’ve got basically 2-3 minutes of ‘good’ gameplay to get a couple runs on for my achievement and then it all goes to hell.

I’ve even been at the present incline section just before it and seen people jumping on presents that haven’t respawned on my screen yet. Try timing that one.

Hopefully something can be done about this. To say it’s getting on my nerves is an understatement.

The only bothersome thing to me is the wind gusts that knock you off… sometimes but not always. It’s hardly worth watching out for, it’s a luck of the draw thing imo.

When you get hit by an invisible rolling snowball, it also pushes you along and stunlocks you. That’s probably what’s happening because the skritt aoes tend to land just in front or behind a snowball.

For the gust after the presents, you can just dodge/double dodge from the circular mint onto the candy cane and evade the gust.

Mmm, yes, that would make sense. Good to know as I’m going to be doing this JP ad nauseam for wintersday spirits…
