Guild Wars 2

Since the update from Jun 23 2015, ground target skills are not activated in huge battles like Karka Queen or Tequatl. It feels the same about as it was at the Claw of Jormag event 1 or 2 years ago: you press a skill, its icon spins for a short time, but then it’s available again, no skill effect, and you can try to activate again.

This only happens on very crowded events where the map is probably full and all players on the map are attacking the same boss. The same event at non-peak hours yields no such behaviour.

Today, I made a video of this on the Karka Queen event. I added red arrows that show when I press the key for a skill, but the skill is not activated. Only after retries. The first half of the fight is ok, but some 40 seconds into the fight it starts to take multiple tries to get out some skills, and especially stubborn is the frost bow at the end of the event.

You also see the ping from the F11 panel: it’s a very good low ping during the whole event, so it’s probably no latency problem with my internet connection.
