Guild Wars 2

Just as the title states. I cannot complete any part of heart of thorns that requires precise timing of my glider due to the fact that everything must register serverside, and by the time that happens i have hit the ground or completely missed my mark

notable places:
1. trying to find taimis holograms and getting to the one on top of the log, my glider will not open in time, have to have a mesmer port me, this is kittenty design, change it.
2. mordremoth: two issues here. one being that by the time that the server registers me going into one of the wind tunnel things when he does his whole area attack, my character has already done it and i am on the ground, and two, it only shoots you a little ways in the air so i wouldn’t be able to open my glider in time anyways.

Anet this is making me beyond furious. i currently have 400 ping to a european server from Afghanistan. I cannot upgrade my internet because that would require for people to lay faster lines outside of my base and nobody wants to get shot by the taliban so that i can play guild wars the way you want it to be played.

Accommodations must be made for people with slower connections, this is seriously kittening me off. At least make instanced zoned INSTANCED, why does me playing single player on a single player map need to be serverside anyways.

Sorry for the trouble you are having. Quick question, are you waiting for the game to notify you to open glider with the F key, or are you pressing space bar to deploy your wings?

I can assure you that I am pressing the button at the correct time and using the space bar. my glider will deploy, just about 3 seconds later than when i pressed.

I feel your pain Lilly.

Having a connection that seems to tank during ‘peak hours’ here, and unfortunately random other times, I agree.

It’s especially bad for some of the Adventures if you ever want gold on those and the associated mastery points, given some of their over reliances on near perfect timing.

I have the same issue – sometimes my glider works and sometimes it doesn’t and practically all the time it lags a little.

They have just updated the broadband in my area (in the UK), so I doubt the problem is even on my side.

I do play on the US servers, so that might be part of the problem; but, for whatever reason, anything that involves accurate gliding skills is, normally, impossible.

I don’t really understand why an online games company would even include something like this, in their design, when they know full well how much of a problem a lot of people have with lag.

They just don’t have very good lag compensation in this game. I have a hell of a time on DSL and I’m in the US. My partner in AU has even more trouble.

I wish game developers would stop using TCP for games.
