Guild Wars 2

First off, I’m really enjoying the first instalment of LS2, both the story and new area.

One thing however really annoyed me, using aspects in combat. Aspects seem to be more reliable than when first introduced, but they still have a nasty habit of not working as they should 100% of the time. I’m not sure if this is a function of high ping (I’m playing from Australia) or somebody occasionally watching youtube while I’m playing, but the fact is that they don’t always work (even allowing for the fact that lightning jump seems to consistently overshoot). This means that while it’s ok for jumping puzzles putting them in combat makes for a frustrating experience rather than a challenging one.

I’m fine with keeping aspects for things like jumping puzzles, just no more in combat.

You sure? They seem to always work fine for me.

the lightning skill has about a 10-20% chance of arbitrarily failing for me…and always has. just a weird/buggy skill. no prob with the other aspects, tho.

If I have to move forward while using wind jump close to an edge there is a high chance of “rubber banding” for me.it may be a Ping issue.

Can’t say I’ve ever had any issues myself.

The one time I had issues was when Kas told me to use a crystal to break the shield but she didn’t put one down. Bad Kas. She put one down about 10 seconds later though so it turned out okay. I ended up running around like an idiot trying to find where she was hiding the crystal in the mean time, though.

I’m in Australia too, and on a shared internet connection and I have a lot of trouble with the aspects.

I was actually so relieved that the Festival of Four Winds was ending because I’d tried to have fun with it a few times and just had a horrible time with trying to use the aspects to move around the map. I have the ‘rubberbanding’ issue with the wind jump the most, but lightning and sun don’t work great for me either.

I was so disappointed when I saw they were a thing AGAIN. I know lots of people probably liked them, but I really wish I didn’t have to deal with them.
