So im having a crapton of lag recently (apparently Texas at&t U-verse dont like Anet right now). Im attempting pvp, which has been rather amusing. When i would get into combat I would always think “If i kill this guy, Im either amazing, or this guy sucks.” Apparently LOTS of people in pvp REALLY suck, bc im terrible at pvp, and if im having 1fps and i can kill you 1v1, then you need to try harder.

Instead of raging at my comp and flaming chat, ive taken it as kind of a challenge. Its fun to try to guess where people are going to be. What will this person do next? where will they dodge? If i was them, when would i use a skill? Its also got to be hilarious watching me wander away from combat and flail wildly at a guy who was there 5 seconds ago. Maybe it makes me harder to hit?

Anyways, so heres the idea: A ultimate PvP mode where every player is given forced lag!

I’ve played gw2 at 15 FPS for 1 year and and half before it got slightly better with a new GPU. Its not that hard to kill people while lagging considering the game is mostly about random dodging now with overcharged shot/updraft and air/fire procs it doesn’t really matter if you can see the animations in time or not .

But back in the hambow meta playing at 15 FPS was so hard, had to predict pin down or hammer stuns instead of dodging due to the 1-2 sec delay.

lately ive been playing the hardmode where I have lagspikes that last 15-20s every couple minutes or so. makes it really interesting when theres an automatic you die implemented at random times.

15fps is kinda the norm tho for most players. I normally play at 15. thats easy. 1 fps is a bit more challenging ;P

I play at 25 fps and its pretty bad especially if you have a crappy net that comes with it. My 25 fps looks more like 18-20 due to bad connection so it really depends on your net aswell.

15 is definitly not the norm, especially for an average game like guild wars 2, most people would quit if they had 15 fps.

But congratz for being able to play at 1 fps. If I lagg that much I just logg off and wait. The only way I could play at 1 FPS is by playing turret engi.
