Guild Wars 2

Look, I’ve a BS Computer Science. I can build you a smoking box. I am not cheap, nor is the machine. I’ve 2 decades of experiance.

You hire these kids out of ‘college’ that say they can do crap. Sure, it looks good IN HOUSE! However, they have no idea of real world deployment.

Your code sux. Your coding staff is not experienced enough for this project.

Open the purse strings, and hire EXPERIENCED people..

Yes, this will be deleted because it makes sense. Also it ‘insults’ the kids writing the code.

I am 47. When I want a job done, I do not hire the child that is cheap. The man that costs a tad more, but will get it done right is the one to hire.

Apprenticeships are there for a reason.

If there was an advanced search option for the forums, I’d not have to do this again.

Been 2 months since I came here. I was told to do a speed test to Dallas Texas; 15mbps, and a ping of 3ms

My machine is not ‘uber or great’, but I have the graphics down, so it should balance.

I STILL GET 5FPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only game I get this with. Lord of the Rings Online. 15-20 FPS.. WoW 30-50FPS.. I’d keep going but it’s redundant.

So, I was having boggles before, and posted here. I even changed ISP’s, routers, and computers. LOL Still 5-7 FPS ALONE in a land..

Can you please stop beta testing with people that have 2-4k dollar machines, and fiber optic net. Also, stop testing in-house and saying ‘it runs fine.’

Of COURSE it runs fine. the machine that has the ‘game/code’ is 2 rooms down!

REAL world testers….

I’ve owned this game since release. I keep checking to see if the fps is above 7. Never is…

Either support it, or let it die… Refunds go to Children that hate laggy games.org It is tax deductible..

I am not alone here…

I’d say yes since Vamp Rit can proc from well of blood.

Ritual of Life – Create a Well of Blood whenever you revive an ally.

Vampiric Rituals is triggered even by non-damaging wells such as Well of Blood but only if the enemy is standing in it.

being new to the class/game myself, I rely on personal research for answers. I am not finding a ‘limit’ to conditions consumed.

Also, the ‘basic’ opinion seems to be to use CC while solo/PVP and the well for groups/WvW

This is just what I found real quick, but of course a seasoned necro may post and debunk or confirm the findings.

I’ve done things with my necro that would make my guardian cry.
/coughs http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Preserving_the_Balance /coughs

Being fairly new to the game, I am still in ‘profession testing and WTH do I play’ mode. So, I made a Norn guardian, and a Norn necromancer. Chose the same paths for both, so they went through the same stuff. The Personal Story quest Preserving the Balance made my guardian cry. My necro laughed as she stood amongst the piles of dead elemental. Heck, I didn’t even dodge, just popped in and out of death shroud. Pop into death shroud and did AOE stuffs, popped out to summon dead minions, pop staff AOE’s with heal as last skill, swapped to scepter/focus and popped it’s heal, went back into death shroud and did aoe stuff. rinse, repeat, laugh.

I am not saying necro is ‘OP’. FAR from it. It takes talent, skill, timing, fight prep, and a tad of luck. However being more ‘utilitarian’ than the guardian, it’s got more resources to overcome a wider range of situations.

I mean with the guardian it seemed like I was doing the same skills, the same way, the same, same, same, same. Necro seems to have no ‘real’ rotation. Sure, there’s a standard way to fight, however if you have to step outside that routine it seems not to care as much as the guardian does. /shrugs.

Disclaimer: This is MY opinion, and is not covered by any warranty neither written nor implied, your mileage may vary.

Sorry for the delay, however my online play time is limited. I logged into the game, I am getting 10fps, and the ip is 64.25.38.240

I verified I wrote it down right, however all i get is a ‘time out’ error. /shrugs. Odd because I am logged into the game; tabbed out, right now. LOL

Anyrate, not much help on my end I know. Any more advice would be grand. I turned graphics totally down, and still get 10fps and major lag.

Thanks a ton for your reply! Much appreciated. I’ve included an attachment of my speed test to a server in Houston, and also a direct link to the test results.

ping=65ms
Download=13.01Mbps
Upload=3.56Mbps

So that seems pretty good to me. Also, this seems to be the only game such major lag happens with. Aion, Rift, Neverwinter, Lord of the Rings Online, and World of Tanks all run smoothy.

Also, how can I get my toon out of the Lions Arch battle and back to just questing around? It’s just a level 6 and from what I’ve seen the ‘enemy’ is level 80, so I just get one shotted; which coupled with the lag, makes for a very unfun gaming experience.
Thanks again,
Cyn

Ok, maybe it’s not ‘God’ worthy, but help would be awesome.. I was deployed for a month and was discharged. I’ll not get into specifics about that. However it follow as this.

I was ‘out of game’ for a few months. I came back and the lag. The laaaaagg!! First of all my toon was ‘teleported’ to lions arc under attack. uummm ok.. what happened to the quest line I was on? Can I get back to just doing that? I found no way, so I just made another toon…

So, my toon is stuck in some strange battle ground that I’ve no idea what is, why, and no escape. Feels kinda familiar actually. LOL So, I figured I’d make a new one.

I made a new toon, and started off in newbland. lag. well, maybe it’ll go away once I finish and get to the world. laaaagg. uumm, ok.. Lemme turn down graphics. laaaagggg…

So, I’ve 2 questions.
Why is my main toon stuck in a battle ground?
Why is the game so laggy that it’s not enjoyable?

And Please, don’t gimmie ‘it is your isp’ argument. I’ve screens of a net speed test that debunks that..

A fix is all I ask.
