Guild Wars 2

This evening, when picking up supplies from Bay (that had presence of the keep on) a guildie reported having gotten 40 supplies. And yes, in squad window the party (s)he was in, had a total of 40 supplies with 1 person.

We tried to replicate this thing/bug/unexpected boon.

And we all got 40 supplies.

Then we tried again, by putting Presence on Garri. Worked there too.

Anyone else encountering this?

According to your examples, Dukotje, what’s screwing ROF over is the fact that the language servers are paired with each other.

That’s the reason for the tripple server.

That’s the reason AM is ‘overpowered’ now. They might have been too weak by themselves, but together with even the ‘lowest’ of the guest servers, they will be very strong.

Mostly because before the pairings occured, the lowest servers were ALL English speaking servers, the language servers did better, over all.

As for myself…

I find myself getting ignored/interrupted/mansplained at to the point where any commanding is unfeasable.

That said, there are some female commanders, but they have a way higher tolerance (than me) for kitten like that, because I’ve heard the same issues when following them.

Personally I mostly like the new maps.

-They’re pretty
- You need more situational awareness (narrow ledges, gusts of winds, portals for enemies)
- Keeps are better defended
- Harvesting nodes!
- Breakbar on lords

Things that will become better:
- My ability to navigate the maps (at the moment I’m lost most of the time. But it’ll chance as I learn the new map. This is not a fallacy of Anet or the new map in any way)
- My and my team’s ability to use the new mechanics, and utilize them fully.
- The new claiming system. (because we need to figure out how it works, and build up upgrades for our guild).
-New specializations. (Hey that thief is hacking! He’s got so many dodge…uh… yeah. new spec. Again, will get better when we learn how to play effectively again)
- Bugs. Bugs are everywhere, in all games. They will get fixed, hopefully soon.

Things that worry me:
- The size of the maps. As our server isn’t top gold, and neither are the servers we’re fighting, it’s difficult to find enemies.(this might change a bit when people return from pve maps. Also, please note, I don’t mind the running distances, it’s the finding other people I’m worried about.)

Tried to do the Langmar Estate guild puzzle today. Three times.

It went fine until we got to the part with the toxic fumes. No fumes were visible, though you’d die if you went down to where it usually is. The switches didn’t work, the event didn’t start. The oozes didn’t spawn, and neither did the build things on the “bottom floor”.

Some people managed to port through the gate, but since the event hadn’t been completed, there was no reward.

Location: Sweden
Server: Ruins of Sermia
Latest issue: Massive spikes (more than 5 seconds long) repetedly (more than 20 times/hour) between 20:00 and 22:00 (GMT+1) Yesterday 19th of Sept)
Map: EB, WvW
What I’m seeing: Characters running straight forward(or in whatever direction they were moving at the time) or getting stuck in attack animations. (one guardian did a pirouette sustained for over seven seconds, very pretty). When lag releases I either DC or get hit with all dmg + all healing, that I should have sustained, at once. On shorter lagspikes there’s a lot of rubber-banding where people move erratically over the map, jumping backwards up cliffs and so on.

Several other people suffered lagspikes at the same time.

This has been going on for a while and while manageable in PvE, it’s gamebreaking in WvW.

Considering the outnumbered buff sometimes seems completely random I’m not sure I want to make it more powerful.

Sometimes it’ll blink on and off

I’ve been in parties where some have it and some not, despite being on the same map, at the same place, at the same time.

But yeah, as a low pop server player I’d like to get some kind of compensation for the free armor repairs.

During last week’s matchup my server (then tier 7) worked really hard to end up second in our matchup. Something amazing happened and we actually won the matchup with a 40k+ lead.

This week we’ve been moved down to tier 8

The server that ended up in second place is still in tier 7

The server which lost the matchup was moved up into tier 6.

How does this make sense?

(I do get that we get moved around a bit to get a greater change in server matchup but still)

If you look closely the backwards prints are also visibly in sand/dirt and this annoyed me since beta. If you’re lucky, though, you can sometimes get them to go sideways instead of backwards.

So we should ban 20-50 people from a guild from playing WVWVW so that you (1 person) can play undisturbed?

YES! You have apparently found the solution to all the problems in WVWVW! Go tell Anet at once.

(If this wasn’t a trolling thread, someone should… uh… do something to someone.)

Guild had about 12-14 people online and guild leader wanted to try a new tactics which included massive stealth and fast movement. Not really thinking about it, we moved around the eb map practicing and figuring out how to work the tactic and we ended up between blue spawn and blue keep.
We stopped and started talking about something, and suddenly we see a lone blue player heading towards us. Just as the person is about to collide with us, our stealth runs out and we could almost see the ‘oooooh s**t’ that the player behind the toon said when he suddenly found himself inside an enemy guild group.

On the other side you have me, also hardcore PVE player. Mostly becuase I panic evertime someone targets me. When season 1 rolled by I decided I would take the chance and do some meta as well as getting my map completion.

Oh kitten it was hard. I had no idea what I was doing, people kept aiming for me and I, more or less, stood there and let them kill me. Sometimes players with blue hats would run around with other players following them. They did lots of wierd stuff, like standing still in a group when facing enemies and such.

Then, lo and behold, someone with a blue hat told me what to do. And suddenly I could see why some people like this. I mean… the teamwork is the important thing.

Now I’m kinda psyched for season two, because perhaps someone else like me will join. Find it amusing and fun and start enjoing another part of the game. And this is why I think season 2 is a good thing, though the transfers were an odd feature.

(I still panic when someone aims at me, so if you see an enemy stand still with fear in their eyes, it’s probably me. But when I have my guild with me, or any other players really, I can be a valuable member of a team. And that is why I like wvw)

I will take this moment to promote the few servers in wvw where cheating is almost non-existant.

Namely; drumroll Tier 9!

You’re very welcome to join us if you want a cheat free game (which can also be enemy-free if you’re on in the wrong time) and we still manage to cap towers… and even SM! gasp

I have been running around in the Mad Kings Labyrinth quite a lot this weekend when I noticed an interesting bug. When I got hit with repeated immobilization skills I get stuck and can’t move, even after the effects are supposed to have disappeared. I needed enemies to launch me off of ‘my spot’ to be able to move again.

At first I thought it was my keyboard, but realised all other keys worked in-game. I just couldn’t move.

Then I thought it was a fluke and just me being stuck on some kind of ‘invisible’ terrain.

At the point when it happened for the fifth time, in different locations every time, I realized that the only common denominator for all of these were me fighting multipple mummies and/or courtiers at once.

Wearing light armor, it’s not very healthy for me to get stuck, I tend not to survive it. Not to mention is very annoying to have killed almost all the enemies (yay – victory!) and then realise I can’t move, can’t dodge and I die. (or possibly survive only to have to wait for another enemy with the ability to forcefully move me to be able to get away.

Fissure of Woe

Well, on my server (Fissure of Woe) the ice shield has disappeared completely. And you can’t target Jormag. The only thing that can hurt him are the cannons.

It’s boring. Also, it has issues with going to stage 2 since Jormag never takes flight.

It’s been like this for at least the last week.

Personally I don’t really care about the drops, that much. Though I have noticed a decrease. Before I counted on getting something from every third kill, now it’s around every fifth. Which is almost half of what I got before.

Though I must say that after killing Jormag the other day I got three yellow and one gold. The only gold I’ve gotten… But I was happy for the moment at least

I’ve confirmed this several times. No variety for karka but yes, it does count towards amount of kills

I was mapping around yesterday in Iron Marches. Just outside Dewclaw village some of the Barracuda were swimming around in the air. I suppose this isn’t meant to be, though I have no idea how to report such bugs ingame so I’m doing it here instead.

They attach themselves everywhere. I’m just glad that I finally figured out how to get rid of them since my ele has armour made out of paper. or something equally durable.

But yes. it’s a very funny game mecahnic in deed.

Was playing a bit random last night, caught a pair of Waypoints, killed a few karka, killed swamp dragon. Then a guildie messaged me. When trying to return his message I realised my keyboard had had it’s layout changed to english/american.

It typed perfectly normal in word and open office, but was stuck in e/a mode all evening. I also tried logging out and in again without success. Quite annoying since that means three letters fell away and all punctionation marks has moved around.

Anyone got any idea why this happened?

Don’t talk to the NPC. Wait till both events are over, then read the notice on the cattlepult. Had the same issue and was quite miffed until I figured it out.

I’ve noticed that upon hitting ‘send’ sometimes the mail address changes to the person standing in front of me. One of these times the person was nice and sent the items back, but the other times I’ve (and the person I’ve been mailing) have lost the items forever.

Maybe this is what has happened here as well?

Several times I’ve tried to send mails to my guild buddies but the mail function has randomly changed the recipient to whomever is standing in front of me.

Please fix this, not only do they get my mails, I’ve also, unintentionally, given away lots of items to strangers because of this.

Why is there even such a feature?
