What servers are you guys from? I’m from Sorrow’s Furnace, and my guild was playing last night with no problems.

Exactly the same issue, changed all my graphics settings about to anything that may effect, no result. Running on lowest, still don’t see aoe’s/lines/marks. Running on lowest with char limit at highest, same, lowest with view distance up same etc… etc… Running at highest, middle, everything; still the same.
It’s impossible to play in WvW when you can’t see static fields, lines of warding, rings of warding, marks etc…
I really hope they sort this out, because it’s now either: Buy a new processor, or stop playing gw2. And that’s not a choice a game that came out, saying it would be playable on a large range of machines, should make me make. I could run with 20-30fps in big blob vs blob fights before this patch. Now this patch comes out, same frame rate, but it’s now unplayable.
And as well as fields, it’s also siege. Which means I can’t use siege on anything the enemy has because 1) I can’t see my own siege. 2) i can’t see their siege.
Your processor is not the culprit.

Cheers for letting us know. So we can gather some more info, could those of you that are affected please create Tech Support tickets: https://en.support.guildwars2.com/app/ask/ with as much information as you can (include screenshots or video if you have it).
Uhh … because you guys can’t see it for yourselves?? This isn’t some obscure effect that only procs under some rare combination of factors. Try actually playing your own game once in a while.
And while you’re at it, consider pretesting major changes instead of simply throwing them against the wall to see if they stick. Oh wait … you guys can’t actually do that, can you, because that any-dev-can-make-live-changes-on-the-fly scripting system you’re so proud of led you to believe you could get by without a test server.

You’d think you’d have found one in the past six or so months of you seemingly having this exact same sentiment.
… Oh there are quite a few! But… they were all kitten. Oh well.
Learn to read. I said I was checking on release updates of UPCOMING MMOs. Checking on the release dates of past MMOs apparently makes sense only to you.

Before chastising, you should be more careful in noting that I said I was amazed you hadn’t found one (a new MMO), which is, as common sense would dictate, what one seeks when looking to upcoming release dates. Since you’re opinion about this game has been the same thing repeated without end for the past several months, one would have imagined that you’ve been long looking into replacements. Unless you happen to be someone who simply looks at release dates as some sort of prophetical tool, or a masochist.
As in: “I’m amazed that you haven’t managed to find an MMO yet in your six months of repeating yourself on this forum.”

TLDR: Don’t criticize deh ANETZ PLOX. They are twying weally hard.

If you bothered to check my forum posts over the last six months you should have noticed that none of the MMO’s I expect/hope to have decent open world PvP aren’t due to be released yet. Just because I think ANet has woefully squandered their opportunity to make WvW something worthwhile doesn’t mean that anyone else has yet introduced something better, and the fact that there isn’t anything yet better doesn’t mean that ANet has followed through on the implied promises they made when they so heavily hyped (even prioritized) the WvW aspects of GW2 back before launch. There’s a reason that my opinion of WvW has been the same for the last six months … it’s because WvW itself hasn’t materially improved in that period of time in spite of literally thousands of forum pleas and suggestions for how it might be.
And for AT LEAST the last six months you and Lordkrall have taken every opportunity to defend ANet no matter how indefensible their performance has been, so at the very worst I’m just on the flip side of the same broken record you guys are on.

No, I really haven’t.
Just go look at other posts on the subject of: zerg lagg (where my statements on the issue have as far as I recall never actually taken a stance on the matter but bit discussions on the technical aspects; tldr I don’t like it but I also don’t think there’s much to be done about it because the engine wasn’t built for it), the recent particle effects culling (its nice to be able to play at better frame rates but not the expense of being dead because of it), arrow carts (after initial buff), ascended items (way, way back when but I got over it), culling (back when it existed), and I certainly wasn’t the happiest camper with the buffs from the guard lines.
Things I have defended: the masteries (because I find them useful), the match-up system (because its better the dull routine we had before), and the game in general since I find it, not surprisingly, fun.

I know your posting history, we go back and forth too often not to know it. But I’m not actually here to defend what ANet has or has not done or delivered, the whole crux is: why bother to keep playing and investing time in something you don’t like anymore?
Vena is actually blind and uses a Braille monitor. He takes offense to your reading jabs.

Don’t spill muh secrets!
And its not Braille, its properly aligned croûtons.
Sophisticated!

That was the whole point.
I don’t switch MMOs lightly, and once I’m invested in one I tend to stay invested until I truly can’t stand it anymore or something demonstrably better comes along. I stuck with Rift (which at least had interesting PvP) for months after the frustrating piece of open world crap that was Conquest came out … hoping that Trion would fix it (they didn’t). WvW in GW2 still has the potential to be done properly so I have this irrational hope that ANet can be somehow shamed into fixing it, and at the moment I think we can all agree there really isn’t a clearly better alternative out there. Hence I remain.
However, there ARE games on the horizon whose developers are quite obviously trying to address the very aspects of open world PvP that WvW so badly sucks at, and when they pop I most likely will indeed throw in the towel for GW2 and you and I will stop butting heads.

To those wondering if this effects GvG, yes it does. DId one tonight, saw about a quarter of aoe’s at the time they happened. Still, only died the two times are guild lost.
As bad as it is, it is a really good way to train your reflexes against stuns and conditions etc… Having t react once you get the effect, is a lot harder than having to react to seeing it in front of you; as such its a pretty good way to practice.
Edit: Was a 20v20, I think a 15v15 would be fine. a 25v25 on the other hand… Probably not a sensible idea to try it.
Who do you think that system was named of? Captain Culling of course.
Now we need to woke up Major Lag.
Yeah. And since anet clearly don’t test their so called improvements before they’re releasing it, they better give General Failure a call too until they get it sorted. Get a test server.

What i can’t undestand is why is all this happening. Don’t you Anet run tests for theese features before putting them into live?
Me as a WvW player (and i suppose that most of the WvW would support me) I’m fed up.
Everytime we have a patch we already know that the WvW content will be…almost inexistent.
In addittion every patch we know also that the following days you will down WvW so you can fix your mistakes on the previous patch.
We know that we’re just getting ignored about some basic features like account Wxp ranks, group buff priorities, GvG system, etc…
The funny thing is that we can all live with theese things until you screw us in a way that makes WvW unplayable for organiced groups.
Next time if something goes wrong (like it happened with this new effect feature that nobody cared about btw) just roll back to the previous version inmediately or test it harder before it goes live.
What i can’t understand is why is all this happening. Don’t you Anet run tests for these features before putting them into live?
Actually, they don’t. They don’t really have a player test server so everything they “test” has to be done on a small scale setup with simulated players. The player base is their real QA system, and it is done live. It’s cheap and it’s irresponsible, but it’s ANet.

A public test server would actually be a nice idea. Maybe they have a private one already though, just not with the same variety of comp setups maybe.

This…
No please. The bugs broken stuff is the only thing keeping WvW interesting. If the will have to roll back everyt time, we’ll never get updates.
Then you can say goodbye to gems like “Golemrush the map while the enemy has ountmanned buff”-Mastery that are most certaily already in the preparations.
i know this isnt the right thread for it but i just want to point it out
this isseu isnt only in wvw i saw this isseu in some major towns yesterday also
especially in divinity`s reach complete building where invisible
after restarting my client it was ok it happends from time to time
just saying anet

- Static fields are not visible on regular occasions. The white line on the ground will appear, but the static animation does not. This makes it very difficult to distinguish from light field etc.
- The animation when using supply to build with the supply upgrade now flickers like a strobe and it is quite intense and looks unintentional.
It’s better but it’s not completely fixed. In large groups, when someone drops a static field, the animation will be visible for a split second before disappearing =/
