Guild Wars 2

We just started playing some team matches like everynight, but there are lots of problems (we know how bad anet is at fixing new stuff). For instance, what’s wrong with loading screens? I mean, maps are not big, why is it even there? But now, loading takes like 3 times more. Seriosly, how can you kitten up such thing?

(I’m currently really mad, sorry for all those “bad” words)

+1 pvp and pve map take 10 more time then before

Get a better computer.

Get a better computer.

Map loading after respawn is much longer during a match. Before it was basically instant for me.

3470k 4.3OC, SSD and Geforce gtx660. Not bleeding edge but still fairly new. Something is fishy here and “Get a better computer” I doubt is the holy solution.

Zacchaeed.2834:

Not helpful. The recent patch significantly increased loading screen times especially on Legacy of the Foefire.

Zacchaeed.2834:

Get a better computer.

My computer worked perfectly fine with little to no loading times before this patch. I’m not going to buy a new computer because the game abruptly got 100x longer loading times.

My load times have always been high. My friends were higher. He got a solid state and now he loads almost instantly. Might be time for me to upgrade

/agree with Celebratty

I’ve had an SSD for months, and this change is very obviously and very definitely the patch. I went from .5s loading screens to 5-10s loading screens.

There’s also random server latency. My ping runs between 50-90, with some 100ms spikes – it averages around 65ms. In multiple games today, I’ve watched a .2-.4 second lapse between the button I pressed, and my character performing said skill. It basically makes the game unplayable – I can’t interrupt heals, I can’t dodge big swings, etc etc etc. It’s annoying to screw up and get hit by an eviscerate or a shatter, but that’s ultimately my fault – it’s absolutely infuriating to eat that same ability because I’m using an ability I pressed nearly half a second ago instead of the dodge I’ve timed correctly.

Loading screen needs to be fixed!

You die in a tpvp/solo arena and you wait 15s to revive and then another 10 to finish loading screen.

It must be some bug. I have a very fast computer. Before patch my “loading” times on respawn were pretty much instant. There was no loading actually. Now I need to wait like 10 seconds or so after I press the ress button.

Noticed a slight delay with “Instant teleport” abilities as well. Something is up.

Yeah, it’s extremely noticeable with “instant teleport” skills, but I’ve also had the issue with other skills as well. Hopefully it’s just Anets standard post-patch silliness, and it’ll be fixed in a day or two.

My average loading screen for entering a new map lasted 4-5 seconds before today. Now they’re lasting 20+.

They broke something.

“Get a better computer” is a stupid answer to a stupid vent thread.

I highly doubt developers will respond to a well thought out subject line such as this; “What the * is wrong with pvp” unless it descends into a total kitten storm.

Throwing tantrums gets you nowhere.

Don’t be a kitten, log the problem, be patient, it will get fixed. If you don’t like it, cancel your sub. Oh wait, there isn’t one.

Go to your …/Documents/Guild Wars 2/ folder and delete local.dat.

It will tend to bloat over time and after big patches. It should be ~1 MB in size.

Note: This resets your graphical and audio settings.

I’ll trade you ping, I would be over the moon to have 100ms. I haven’t had a chance to try the game since the patch (it happening at 5pm Australia time, the time I finish work).

Give this a try, take your pvp character to a pve area, wait for it to fully load then head back to the mists. See if that improves your latency.

I’ve only had longer loading times on Foefire. It’s annoying, but know that everyone has it. Anet will fix this.

I’m from Australia on a wimax connection, and I always get 1-2 second delays on skills with random 10-20 second freezes, makes me wonder just how easy this game is for people close to servers.

for the topic never buy new hardware to fix a bug in a game

Same thing here, but its only randomly… pre patch load time after death to respawn point was about 0,5s. Now it takes “sometimes” around 10 sec. in sum a respawn time of 25 seconds…

ssd is the way man
