Guild Wars 2

I don’t know if anyone else(server, guild, player) has experienced this issue so I figured I would bring this up.

Basically the issue is when you take the EWP to go and aid your server there are times when, even though you take it immediately upon activation, that you get sent to Citadel. We’ve had this happen many times. Our Zerg actively knows that the EWP is about to be pulled and we take it. Then we suddenly get a huge load time and end up being sent away from the EWP. Thus, the EWP becomes useless and we have to run a long way.

Several issues could be affecting this:
1. Load time(I personally have quick load times but for some reason this EWP issue creates a delayed load time)
2. Server lag
3. Blob lag(by the enemy server or combination of ally and enemy)

So why can’t there be an algorithm in place that allows players that selected EWP while it was active to be able to appear where it was? Yes, more coding.

I believe the issue is you loaded in after the WP expired and thus got booted back to spawn. And whenever this happens, load times are greatly increased, possibly lasting forever even when you normally load in seconds.

I have also posted on this topic some 4 months back. Latency and load times for the WvW servers spike when an map queue or any force large enough takes that EWP. Thus half the playerbase of the defensive force gets booted to spawn and you lose the keep.

Unfortunately, it’s a qualm with defense and not going to be worked on anytime in the near future.

Actually, that’s part of the problem. We went as soon as it was available but due to certain server/lag/load issues by the time we loaded we were in Citadel. That’s the issue I’m trying to have addressed.

Load time, is sad. If you loading from another map, you first have to load the new map then before being directed to the wp which again require another loading I guess? So there is two loading?
