Sudden latency increase to NA servers

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: Animus.6453

Animus.6453

So being Australian (Sydney) I’m used to having around 200~ms ping to NA servers which is fine. It’s playable. Earlier today though my ping increased to roughly 300 ~ 330ms constantly in PvE, WvW and most importantly PvP.

The other unusual thing about this is it seems to only be affecting a specific ISP (Telstra) and seems exclusive to NCsoft games and webpages. Other ping tests and traceroutes to Austin and other North American servers come back normal. Doing a trace route on multiple ISPs looking glass pages and comparing highlights the issue:

Telstra (https://www.telstra.net/cgi-bin/trace)

iiNet (http://looking-glass.iinet.net.au/lg.cgi)
http://i.imgur.com/KSyhfBe.png

AAPT (http://looking-glass.connect.com.au/lg/)
http://i.imgur.com/xaE9R7C.png

I’m not sure where to go from here or if it’s even an issue with Anet or the ISP, but hopefully this helps goes towards a solution. The additional ping makes GW2 pretty unpleasant to play in all honesty.

I just fought a four-man group with five solo players. It was the second time in a row I, as a solo player, was matched up against them, except the previous match I at least had a three-man group (of three guardians) in my team to beat them with.

1. Ranger – Poor pet AI and lack of many viable builds makes ranger top choice for me. I have a ranger sitting in limbo at level 30 or so just because of the atrocious pet AI. Figure out ways to reward more skilled ranger play (proper micromanagement of pets, more difficult weapon sets etc) rather than unskilled play (long/shortbow 11111 spam).

2. Elementalist – Fine in WvW and PvE instances but when it comes to sPvP they’re definitely at the bottom. Trait lines still need some tweaking. Still very little reason to invest into Fire in non-PvE instances.

3. Thief – Non stealth builds are still pretty weak in PvP environments. Utilities: Deceptions and Signets are king. Venoms and Tricks are still mediocre. Traps are awful. Trait lines are imbalanced and some higher end traits are just not worth investing into (Assassins Reward, for example). Rebalance of some weapon sets is needed too (solutions to stealth, heartseeker, flanking strike spam rather than straight up nerfs).

Dear Kiel voters: We tried to warn you

in Fractured

Posted by: Animus.6453

Animus.6453

First:

For the people blaming Kiel voters about getting Scarlet: If we had known we would not have voted for it. But springing it as a surprise is not our fault. You can’t blame us by Anet wanting to impinge us with this City of Heroes villain character in GW2 and insert her in every single possible instance.

Second:

Stop thinking Abaddon would have been SO good. It’s a 15 minute instance bumped to 1 hour once mobs have enough HP and one hitting damage. Your belief of an epic tale sustains you more than reality would have when confronted with a 15 minute tale. Think of the Searing fractal couple with the Cliff fractal. You would have had Abaddon giant figure fighting in the background with a Mecha wearing Scarlet while you’d be dealing with some random minions. Which leads me to…

Third:

THANK US!!! Thanks to us you can still live thinking of how awesome the Abaddon instance could have been instead of the stark reality of being confronted with Abaddon ‘throwing a tantrum’ while being sissy kitten slapped by Scarlet wearing a Neo Evangelion mecha suit.

This is exactly my thoughts. Thank you Kiel supporters because otherwise, Scarlet would have been shoehorned in horribly into already established GW lore.

I don’t understand what the hell Anet’s writers are doing with this game. They set themselves up so well; GW1’s lore is pretty kitten rich and detailed. And yet, they haven’t capitalised on it at all. Instead we get a fan fiction-tier antagonist shoved down our throats every two seconds.

So yeah, thanks Kiel supporters. You probably did all of us a favour. /bow

Dec 10th thief changes

in Thief

Posted by: Animus.6453

Animus.6453

I’d be fine with all these changes Mr. Peters as long as we got some significant changes.

For instance, Last Refuge is a terrible trait and everyone hates its. Why not replace last refuge with infusion of shadow? Infusion of shadow is a must have trait for anyone going into the shadow arts line and last refuge is not.

This would open up some build diversity.

Why not give venoms to all thieves as F2-F4 skills with the exception of basilisk venom? This would be a flat out buff to the class. Thief community might actually say, hey thanks for giving our class something new and useful instead of whine nerfs 24/7.

I’d like to see some of these changes be added into these huge nerfs. This is a huge nerf patch. No more perma stealth, no more s/d builds, opportunist nerf is going to effect every thief build as well.

swinks hit it right on the head. our steal alone is a joke compare to other classes. really it is. if traited its better but still not as good as f1 f2 f3 f4 other classes have especially when its an all or nothing…miss or hit.

agreed with the rest too!

You seem to forget that the initiative system is counted in our unique profession mechanics. It might be a more passive compared to other professions, but combined with Steal it’s definitely as good as other professions mechanics (virtues, attunement swaps etc). What other class can use weapon skills consecutively without CD?

I do think putting venoms as a prof mechanic is a really cool idea, but at the same time it’s just not needed.

actually thief averages about 4 init per skill. they start with 12 init. thats 3 attacks maybe 4 in a row…. ok?

now take any other class. they have 4 skills they use in a row (2-5) and then switch then 4 more skills in a row (2-5) and then 2 secs later switch back.

so thieves can spam 3-4 skill attacks in a row and any other class 8…..

you were saying?

and id honestly take any other F mechanics over steal anyday. i could do the math if u really like.

EDIT: you say its just not needed…i disagree….

right now you make a 10 v 10 battle you bring a thief….umm never. so a thief isnt needed :P

You’re right in saying a thief is generally not needed for a 10v10, but that’s more an issue with a lack of build diversity than anything else. Other than bursting people down, everything else we can do another class can do much better in a large group, yeah? Support? Guardian, ele. CC? Damage? Control? Warrior, Warrior and Warrior (and don’t forget warrior!). See where I’m going with this?

While I agree with you here, I don’t really think it’s relevant to the profession mechanic though. It’s a completely different issue.

You go too far with the skill use notion. You shouldn’t be spamming all of your skills as hard as you can on any profession (unless you like zerging in WvW then by all means do it). That just makes you an awful player. You should be using your skills wisely for each situation. My point is that no other class can use the same skill several times in a row or within very small amounts of time (like seemingly infinite CnD -> backstab rotations).

Combined with proper initiative management (rather than spamming the kitten out of your skills) from the player and I’d say initiative is pretty kitten good as a class mechanic. It gives the player much more choice and control over what they want to do in a fight.

I’m talking from a more WvW solo/small man roaming perspective than anything else. While your raw numbers might say ‘yeah other classes can spam harder than us’, it’s not really applicable in real instances. There’s a massive difference between skill spam and controlled, intelligent skill use.

I think if you were to change anything about the profession mechanic for thief, it’d be a small change. Something like making Steal a stun break or unblockable. Nothing major, but something still useful for every thief.

if you look we were running tagless their was no tactics in this fight, we were purely trolling you, going up into the acs that you all had built on sm own the front line the roll back and stack for the next push, we purely stacked so that we could make you all keep trying and not give up, running into acs with no siege is not tactics, was a fun night tho thanks for the bags if you look at the video again you rarely kill any IoM maybe 1 maybe 2 and you cant control that in a fight, but you were not owning the video was sad and honestly more of a vide for ET then FC, FC? Why you running?

i dont know if this is sarcasm or not but none of you pack stability (even if you did we have necros and mesmers to strip it) you dont pack enough numbers (40 isnt enough against 15) you dont plan anything, you all think your silly huge numbers can jsut rush in and spam 1 to win.. then you lose. Get ready for the same thing all week. it’s going to get boring.

Said about every server ever. TFH is just a mediocre guild who runs the same meta European servers ran half a year ago and think they are the next best thing to sliced bread, but then when you go up against your members 1v1 it’s obvious what kind of players it breeds. Just because you are a zergling guild who turns to slightly more sophisticated methods of zerging, doesn’t mean you’re no longer a zergling guild.

I guess I would agree with you on one thing though; it does get boring.

We may use this “old meta” but why change something that isnt broken. When 15 can beat 30, it’s a win for our server and TFH. No one in our guild needs to do what dr, sf, fc, etc etc. do to have fun. You keep your huge zergs, we’ll keep our small group.

We are breeding players that like to wipe zergs and defend paper towers. We are breeding players who want to get good at the games PvP, not PvD

Have a fun week. It’s going to get boring FOR YOU.

Not trying to be a kitten, but since you seem to be a tad to arrogant, let me remind you that you lost every single even number GvG you did against us, and then any other close number engagements we had with your guild in the open field after that. No matter what “meta” you run, any guild group of 10+ on voice comms can wipe a 30 man uplevel karma train; doesnt mean you should post about it on the forums.

Dis gon be good.

I see you have an Asuran Guardian in SS, wouldn’t happen to be the one that enjoys glitching through tower walls to take towers with his necromancer buddy would it?

Well that’s disappointing to see. C’mon Reich, play fairly. No server wants the negative attention that glitching/cheating brings.

Try guesting on a low population server and play early in the morning when less people are online.

Logic. This makes none.

Aussie here. Managed just fine after a few attempts. It’s not impossible. Difficult yes, but not impossible just because you’re oceanic.

Also what he means is to guest on a low pop server where there’s less people and effectively, less framerate drops from the huge zergs running around below. Try Fergusons Crossing (my server), Eredons Terrace or Anvil Rock. Fairly low pop and not too many people running around. Perfectly sound logic, best dull that edge you have there boy.

And if you still have trouble? Get gud m8.

Flute Music Sheet Compilation

in Community Creations

Posted by: Animus.6453

Animus.6453

Original (F major)
FGAB B | CBAG G

Semitone down (E major)
E F#G#A# A# | B A#G#F# F#

Therein lies your issue. The original is actually

DEFG G | AGFE E

which makes it, in E Major
C#D#EF# F# | G#F#ED# D#

You shouldn’t be able to get a B natural without accidentals in this song because the key signature says to turn all Bs into B flats. That’s why you had an issue: B natural is an accidental for the key signature of your song, so transposing it to E Major means you’d need an accidental in E Major.

You may find this note reference helpful for determining what note corresponds to each location on the staff.

Keep in mind that the key signature changes notes. In your song, the key signature contains a flat on B, so every B shown on the staff in your song is actually a B flat unless noted otherwise via accidentals.

Oooo I see. Things aren’t as simple as they seem then. I’ll have to do more reading and experimentation then. I’m musically challenged to say the least but I’ll keep trying things out.

Thank you for clarifying that.

Flute Music Sheet Compilation

in Community Creations

Posted by: Animus.6453

Animus.6453

I can help with that. Here’s how I transcribed the Wind Waker Title Theme.

First, we begin with the sheet music. Looking at it, we see that it has no accidentals, so it’s a perfect candidate for the flute. Next, we see the key signature: two sharps. Google can easily reveal, to anyone who does not know key signatures, that the major key with 2 sharps is D. Thus, we have a song in the key of D Major that we want to change to be in E major, because the flute is in E Major.

Next, we must understand how the flute is laid out, which is as follows:
1 – E
2 – F#
3 – G#
4 – A
5 – B
6 – C#
7 – D#
8 – E
The flute is also split into two octaves, controlled by pressing 9 to swap between them.

Now, to transcribe a song from D Major to E Major, we have to figure out how many semitones apart the two scales are. Semitones can be thought of as the most immediately adjacent note on a piano keyboard. For example, the two semitones on either side of F are F# and E.

E Major is two semitones above D Major, and you can tell this by starting on a piano at D and counting the number of keys you have to move across to get to E from D. So, starting at D, I would go “D#, E”, which gives me two keys.

Now, looking back at the sheet music for the song I want to transcribe, all I have to do to transcribe the notes is to move any note up two semitones and find the corresponding note on the flute.

(It is important that you move each note UP two semitones, because E major is two semitones ABOVE D Major. We could also have found that E Major is 10 semitones “below” D Major, and transcribe to E Major by moving every note down 10 semitones, but moving up 2 semitones is much easier to do)

The first four notes of the song are, on the sheet music, D, E, D, A (more accurately, the first four notes that are part of the tune. The sheet music has full chords, but we can’t do that on our flute, so we just go with the notes that represent the tune, which are usually the highest notes of the chords).
Moving all of these notes two semitones up gives us
D -> D# -> E
E -> F -> F#
D -> D# -> E
A -> A# -> B

Referencing the flute’s button-to-note mapping, this gives us
E -> 1
F# -> 2
E -> 1
B -> 5

Now, taking into consideration the fact that, in the song, the E F# E is supposed to be followed by a lower B, I have to use the higher octave to play E F# E and the lower octave to play B.

So now we have
(1 2 1) 5
as the first four notes of the song. Move the rest of the notes up two semitones and match them to the buttons and compare them to my transcription.

EDIT: Make sure to share your transcriptions, we all want to expand our repertoires.

Ok so I gave it a shot.. and assuming I got it right means that I probably can’t transcribe the song I want to play, which is a shame! But to make sure I’m doing it right:

Rose of May

This is the song I wanted to try. It’s kind of simple but very pretty and suitable for the flute. I cut out the beginning and started at the melody because.. the beginning scared me (so many squiggly lines and things). I googled and it’s in the key of F Major, so for it to be transcribed to E major, I’d have to go down just one semitone. So this is what I got:

Original (F major)
FGAB B | CBAG G

Semitone down (E major)
E F#G#A# A# | B A#G#F# F#

Looking at the flute.. there’s no A# and the song doesn’t sound right so I guess.. it can’t be transcribed properly? Or maybe I got it wrong. Also thankyou for the detailed reply, was super easy to understand and give it a go. I just hope i dun gud job and didn’t mess up. :P

Flute Music Sheet Compilation

Animus.6453

So for all of you requesting all day long, here’s how to transcribe on your own:
First you have to find sheet music, you can have it printed out or find it on teh net, there’s alot of stuff available in form of guitar tabs which you can view with a program like Guitarpro or Tuxguitar(which is freeware). Once you’ve found your sheet music you have to check if it is playable on the flute. Your flute plays a major key (consisting of 7 different notes an dthe 8th of the lower octave being the 1st of the higher octave.
Which major mode the song you want to paly is written in doesnt realy matter for you palying alone, you will just use the base note of the mode as the 1st note on your flute.
Here are the Major modes for all of you that didnt enjoy music education or couldnt be bothered to remember them and the corresbpnding key signature (if you can’t read sheet music, you start with c one ledger line below the base line in a g-clef notation, notes going c d e f g a h c and so on):

#:
G Major (f#)
D Major (f# c#)
A Major (f# c# g#)
E Major (f# c# g# d#)
H Major(f# c# g# d# a#)
F# Major (f# c# g# d# a# e#)

b:
F Major (hb)
Hb Major (hb eb)
Eb Major (hb eb ab)
Ab Major (hb eb ab db)
Db Major (hb eb ab db gb)
Gb Major (hb eb ab db gb cb)

So you have to check the key signature, find out which key this is and assign the keys according to this. If tehre are any accidentals you cant play it on the flute, but be careful, alot of online available sheet msuic in form of guitarpro fiels and simialr dont put any key signature but just add accidentals, so it might look as if you cant paly it on the flute while in fact it’s just in a normal major key, so if i.e. every single f in that file has a # in front of it and no over chanegs are made it is in fact playable.

Have fun

Is there any chance of you being able to show us an example of how to do this? In like an image or something? I think it would help a lot, and I’d (and surely a lot of others) be eternally grateful! I’d love to be able to transcribe on my own. I can read music.. fairly ok from my elementary understand of music theory, just have some serious trouble understanding the intricacies.

Are you one of the 4 that spawn camped my pal, then when 2 of us showed up we AJed you and your posse in 15 seconds? Nobody escapes the law when Sheriff Bazzle and his lackeys are in town.

That must not of been us cuz we didn’t wipe. We left to help take HoD’s hills.
There was 3 of us hanging around outside Lake last night killin Varconi and his buddy for a little while. We weren’t “spawn camping”, they kept running out to Lake to challenge us.

It wasn’t a spawn camping because they were hiding with guards. I did die a lot trying to 1v4 3 from one guild and a random but I kept coming back because chasing the engie into their tower 5 or 6 times made me want the kill even more.

I die a lot in wvw since I take on any number at any time unlike some players who are so scared of getting killed because of the horrible thing that happens when you die, NOTHING. Cowardice in a game that has no consequences for death shows a glimpse into the person behind the keyboard.

So you’re openly admitting you’re a pleb who doesn’t know how to pick his fights? gg, get on my level nerd.

Heard he used to be an “SF Spy” and he so happened to be in the Castle when we had it and a magical GoM golem port bomb came out of nowhere, also just non stop harasses everyone who talks on map chat. Need to get this fixed.

Hey man, I understand you might be a bit upset but you should edit your post before you get infracted. Singling out guilds and individuals is a fast way to get yourself banned on the forums. If you want to be heard, best way is to record (with FRAPS, Dxtory etc) and/or take several screenshots of the person/s being naughty, and send it off to Arenanet. Don’t worry, I made the same mistake a few months ago when ET had a few hackers causing havoc.

More on topic; Had some excellent fights yesterday and early today against Agg and KWBH. Haven’t really seen too much of GoM’s presence but I can say one thing, you guys have some very persistent players. A guildy and myself dueled the same GoM Necro and Thief near one of our supply camps for nearly an hour straight.. despite them losing every single time.

It was a shame that yesterday ended with a bit of a bitter taste in the mouth as I caught a recently-transferred player from ET speed/flyhacking around our northern supply camp. Disappointing.

Here’s to a good matchup guys, haven’t had this much fun in WvW in months!

Decent start to the week despite some heavy offense early on from ET and SF.

Also, to the SF currently at Redbriar defending like bosses.. I have this screenshot for you. I hope it grinds your gears.

Fun while it lasted. (I hope they remove them from WvW soon, so brokenly OP)

Hey its the commander you stun spammed but couldn’t kill, it was fun defending from your excessive cheapness and more so rewarding when we took AB from you guys while having less numbers. I am actively hunting you on the battlefield.

I look forward to it.

[Video] Rythmn's BURST Thief Build/Guide

in WvW

Seems like a pretty common D/D thief build. I used to run something very similar months ago but began to feel that what I could actually accomplish in WvW was just far too narrow in scope and not that much of a credit to the “team”.

Not saying it’s a bad build, it’s just limited in what you can actually do. Personally I still use D/D (swapping to S/D when needed) and SB, but my traits and gear (0/30/30/10/0, knights/valkyrie w/ ruby orbs) are far more defensive, while also maintaining high damage. I can stay in fights for longer, win 1v1 matchups I would have never won before (bunker ele/guardian for example) and fight multiple people solo.. stuff I just wouldn’t be able to do with that old glass build.

I mean if you have a dedicated group that can support that kind of build and act on all its strengths then it’s really, really deadly. But solo/zerging/unorganised groups? Not so much.

Apart from some early annoyances, I had a great time fighting with several SF and ET (notably KWBH, you guys are great fun to fight!) guilds, defending Greenbriar/Lake from several breakouts on our borderlands.

Good start to the week guys, great to see every server putting their best efforts forward.

An ET thief was teleporting into towers (namely Redbriar and Greenlake on FC borderlands) and instantly to players from huge distances while zerging with his guild. Humorously, he was downed by a vet archer and I managed to rally off him. Still wasn’t enough to hold.

I feel bad for you guys on ET because you have dickheads like this and those mesmers last week making the entire server look bad. Hope Anet can clear this up soon.

Here’s to an irritating start to the week!

Solid start to the week, had a lot of fun today and some great fights with SF and ET peeps alike.. despite eventually getting steam rolled by SF. But whatever, fun’s fun. Hope the rest of the week is just as enjoyable.

Cheers to our (maybe) last week together, SF and ET.
