Guild Wars 2

Bored.

As this month patch is actually coming on 26th(2 weeks from now) March, any idea when the WvW blog ll be out?

Would be great to see some contents that community can discuss before the patch.

Habib?

It has to be soon considering that the patch is pretty close and I expect we will see a blog about the dungeon revamping, further sPvP updates, WvW, and something maybe living story/ pve related. Well, soon, hopefully!

I suspect it’s already up :P

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/world-vs-worldthe-end-of-culling/

Too bad it only discussed culling. Which we already pretty much knew those points based on earlier interviews.

So uh, is that it? That’s our blog post to keep us happy until release? You’ve told us things you’ve posted about dozens of times on the forums, and nothing presented in the blog post is news to us. I want to hear about the progression system, dangit!

Now the real question is will my 680gtx be able to show everyone in high Rez or will it bring it to its knees….

what about the rest of the patch? are we going to get any details on the WvW progression system before the patch??

Ok thats nice about culling !

I think it ll requieres some test/tweak by every players to find the best balance between visual effect/ Performance. And sure there ll be some QQ.

What about the rest ?

I speak for the community when i say….

You know sometime else that would also be fantastic is a minimalist spell effects setting.

Is this the big blog post Mike Ferguson was talking about? We get some crap about culling that we already knew of, and no info about other stuff that will be in the patch.

I guess March patch will be a disappointment after all.

the progression / rank system is a huge make or break for alot of WvW people. Especially since we now know that TESO’s 3way realm vs realm system will launch with a 23 realm rank system. (and the pvp systemwill be alot closer to DAOC than GW2 is)

culling is terrible thing, but which is worse are skill lags. i hope anet talk about it in blog post also

no, no that’s not all:Don’t forget the monthly mesmer nerf, thief boost,necro bug fix,engineer slight boost with an ugly nerf and the new ranger pet bug!YAY!

Hopefully the ranks will be fun and bring some spice back to wvw.

Was that “We’ll see you at the battlefield!” at the end of the blog post a pun? Cause I laughed. Certainly will be nice to see thieves after they attack for a change, although I fear for my performance on this old laptop. Guess it’s about time to upgrade anyways.

Habib, Dont forget there is “Skill lag” issue as well, not just culling. It’s actually skill culling lol. Usually happens when many players at the same spot. You cant press any skills at all for like 5sec up to 30sec… That’s just WvW gamebreaking problem needed to be fix along with model culling.

I expected for more

One new map
RVR progression
Personal RvR progression

Odds are that the skill lag issue won’t be fixed in the patch, after all it only became an issue when they started putting the culling fixes in the game.

Yea “Skill lag” only become issue once they use the new culling model which is they put the culling limit off. My theory is that once they put the culling limit off, yes model is loaded but there are more “data transmitting”. And i supposed they have the data transmitting cap, thus once there are so many people around with all models/effect loaded, the skill we use aint get transmitted due to the data network capping.

I hope the culling fix will resolve this by making the data sending less from those models that aint load. Thus might as well be able to fix this Skill lag/Skill culling on process. I really hope Anet realised this skill lag problem too not just model culling. It’s even worse than model lag because you cant press any freaking skills.

Great to read that blog, can’t wait to get rid of culling. Don’t get me wrong due to following, can’t wait to get rid of it but how does this affect on skill lag.
Lately in wvwvw we have had massive battles which tend to get you a horrible horrible skill lag – my fingers sore from clicking hundreds of times just to get few skills out – will this help on that as well or is it a different issue? I’ll be more than happy to reduce enemies to mere nameplates if I can use my skills in combat :p. So any comments on that?

Seconded. the spell FX in this game…the goggles do NOTHING !

Since Client performance IS important now, should I upgrade my amd 6950 to Nvidia 670 Gtx?

i didn’t cry i was making a joke because this is how the updates were so far for the classes.

Habib are you delaying WvW rank progression as we know nothing about it yet?!?!
