Guild Wars 2

arenanet, feel like chiming in?

There we go, kicked out of teq during the early morning run on EU with either 0 ping or 2,935 ping. Taxi was fine getting in, sat there for like 25-30 mins then once teq started it just spiked and logged me at least twice.

As much as I would like Aussie servers how would it even work megaserver + WvW

Not really sure what forum thread to post this in, but here in New Zealand and most likely Australia too, we get from around 150 – 300 average ping, 24/7.
Its not super noticeable, but it severely hurts us when it comes to combat in WvW and PvP, we are on a delay that means we cant act and react better which is the worst thing ever if your opponent that kills you mocks, jumps on your body and kitten talks you through whispers when you know for a fact you woulda whooped his kitten .
I don’t know much about servers but if there’s a way to make this more bearable for us please proceed in doing so, without making our own server.

Honestly im from australia and completely understand why we dont have a server. Those people that think we should have one should google our population vs every other country. Then look at the costs of running a server and consider if australia even has the population ingame to populate it (considering probably half of us wouldnt change due to guilds/friends etc).

I admit its a bit annoying having the lower hand in pvp, and i know it is on occasion the difference between winning a 1vs1 and not but ive also found over time just knowing more about the opposing class can in many situations help you evade or avoid attacks.

I’m from australia and thought I would try fractals since it was the daily and hadn’t really dipped my toes in that gameplay much before.

Scale 1, Mai trin. I swear I was taking damage before I even saw the red circles. Dodging didn’t help when I saw the circles, group got really angry at me for dying so much that my gear broke. Kind of a big turn off with high latency.

Maybe I should just stick to open world stuff and never touch pvp/wvwvw/dungeons/fractals/dry top and jumping puzzles so I don’t notice the dodge or die type situations so I don’t get so disappointed about it.

Just hope Heart of Thorns doesn’t have more content that will be heavily affected by latency. There is always gathering I guess…
