Guild Wars 2

Hi,

So I was thinking, as we can level our characters from Tombs of Knowledge and not have to move from the starting zones, its becoming alot more tedious to travel the world.

So, I was thinking it may be a nice to have an update in the future to buy Waypoints using skill points.

I was thinking, like the proofs of heroics unlocking skill points in the world, you could have the same idea with waypoints.

When you reach level 80 (debatable if you want it sooner) and unlocked all the training specialisations, you could then, either at Miyani or the Notary vendors in WvW, purchase a random waypoint in the world (maybe chose from a random waypoint in a zone), normal Tyria zones 1 skill point, HoM 5/10 points.

So, what do people think? Good / bad idea? Or any suggestions or changes?

Well, I’ll add to this post but doesn’t seem to help atm when there are 364 posts in this thread and its been viewed 10,473 times (when I made this post).

Anet you really need to keep in contact with your customers, this isn’t good business behaviour or practice! You have countless peoples with problems and yet you’ve really done nothing apart from sat on your kitten and done nothing for the majority of your time. There hasn’t been any response really about what has been going on, no apology for the delays or anything which is completely unacceptable!

Also the few threads I’ve made about diagnosing the problems have been deleted!

So come on Anet, get your act together, inform your customers what the hell is going on because if this keeps going on I’m not going to have any members left in my guild and me and my friends are going to abandon this game for something that doesn’t have this problem!

One of my guildies and friends that I play with regularly is from the US and and recently ( from the last patch or two) has been experiencing very large lag spikes making the game unplayable to him. Though before he had no issues at all, infact he used to load into area’s faster than myself on a better connection.

All you can do is hope that Anet sort their servers out again and enable you to play lag free.

I’m afraid if you want to play GW2 decently your going to struggle on a budget of £250. For a starters a semi decent graphics card is going to eat over half of that easily, then you still have all the other components to buy. Really if your looking for a decent specc’d PC that can run this game you need to at least double your budget.

Like I said I don’t know how the API’s work, though I do have programming knowledge it is possible that when ever someone visits / refreshes the page that the website is requesting the information from the server.

And during prime time that could be a lot of people constantly visiting or refreshing the different websites, which why its worse during that time of day.

Heya Peeps

My guildie and I have been having massive lag spikes for the last week or so. Though we’ve found that some zones appear to have no lag at all, to name a couple Kessex Kills and Brisban Wildlands and what we’ve noticed is that none of these areas have any of the massive timed events which give out the little daily chest.

Now we were thinking that the API that monitors the the events and allows them to be displayed on websites such as Temple Timers might be placing the servers under added pressure which causes them to lag.

This could be all coincidence and I don’t know how the API worsk but is it possible. Also the new events in the living story could also be having an added effect too.

Any of this ring true with anyone else?

I’m having the exact same issue, I have a virgin media 80Mb connection and still lag so much from about 8pm GMT until maybe 11pm. During that time the game is almost unplayable, with constant game kicks to the character selection screen.
