Update:
Just did a simple test by switching maps(PvP and WvW) and found out something interesting.
In HotM, and pvp maps, and Yak’s Bend BL:
I get fluctuating, unstable ping of 250-1k+ especially once I start to attack anything(it is really unplayable, my weapon switch, skill use will have a very noticeable delay)
In FA BL, SOS BL and EBG:
My ping is stable and smooth at average 230(which is my usual and very playable, never exceeding 260.)
Can I know why is this happening?
My ping is usually stable around 200+, connecting from SEA. But since the patch I have been experiencing higher average ping of 300-400+ and spiking at times to 1000+ causing the game to be unplayable(pvp/wvw usually).
Do not remove hobosack on asura engineers. That is all.
They did mess up a little bit with some of the unlocks.
I came back to the game after 1+ year hiatus. I am here because I was wondering what the hell happened in Queensdale, one of the quest is so lame now.. you “tend” to the plants, no more buckets of water to pick up.
That’s fine if it’s just for new players. But one thing they messed up is the undewater combat. Several times with low level characters I got to a heart or event near water, and was unable to fight anything due to not having the equipment.
Then again, it is likely due to my previous experience that I was racing through the content from heart to heart. It is less likely to happen to a totally new player.
I was wondering the same thing too about the changes to some starting map’s quests I’ve encountered recently. In Queensdale, there is no more watering bucket to water the corn, no more picking up feed to feed the cow, everything is simplified to pressing f key. And at the asura starting map, the golem mini game is removed.
With regard to the NPE changes, The old 3 tier system is much better I feel, where you can allocate traits at early levels and have a sense of progression. Same goes to the leveling of weapon’s skills, gradually unlocking more skills as you use it in the past, that was working perfectly.
As a brand new player myself, this wasn’t my experience at all. The game is amazing, so many things to do, quite incredible. The pacing is just right I think.
Perhaps your expectations are getting in the way. I suggest letting them level on their own, they’ll love the game without your preconceptions weighing them.
By the way, if you really want to WvW, you can go gain access at level 1 from lion’s gate.
Glad to hear this from a new player. I think starting your journey into GW2 itself is a great experience even with the changes, even though I would still feel some of the changes are redundant. Hope new players will have the same experience as you.
