My mind is blown that this is too difficult for you to understand. If people crashing causes interruptions in the event, then it’s poorly coded and needs to be looked at. A simple timer starts for players who crash to get back in to where they were is not a large task to be asked for better player immersion. If someone spends 15 minutes on a fight, why should they be punished because of a client crash? If nothing else, they need to be saved on the event table and be given the loot if the even succeeds.
You shouldn’t have to turn down your settings to get the game not to crash. It doesn’t crash every time with settings maxed out. It’s not about unwillingness to change, it’s about the fact that you shouldn’t HAVE to change your settings to not get crashes. I just don’t even know how to respond to how dumb this sounds. If it was an issue being caused often, yes then turn down settings but on a single boss in a single game. Yeah. But again, since this doesn’t seem to be sticking, it’s not about the crashing it’s about the overflow and getting booted from an encounter and losing time/loot/the fight when it should be saved. I’ve been trying to replicate the issue again so I can grab the crash log.
What I’ve noticed is that he’s avoiding answering whether or not he runs teq while on high graphics settings. Probably so he can continue complaining.
This post isn’t about why it crashed, it’s about the poor decision to kick people out of the map when they DO crash. This doesn’t just apply to me, it applies to anyone who crashes any time during events like this.
I do run Teq on high graphics, just like every other fight. I didn’t crash the first time, I crashed the second and third times, and I didn’t crash the fourth time. I’ve never crashed any other time on any other boss. My FPS has dipped pretty low on some of them too.
I’d like to add to this suggestion, the ability to change the font to be even larger and be able to adjust the background of the chat so it can be made lighter or darker.
I’d love to be able to make the font bigger and the background darker. Yes, I’m getting old but at 1440p it’s pretty small even on the largest font.
It’s not a system issue on my end. The ONLY time it’s crashed has been 2/3 times I’ve done Teq.
Lol, sure.
50 bucks says it’s a problem with one of your drivers.
If it was a problem with one of my drivers, GW2 on Teq would not be the only game and time to crash. Dying Light = Ultra = Zero problems, Zero Crashes. WoW 25m raiding on Ultra = Zero Crashes. The list goes on, GW2 on Teq is the only game that crashes and that’s the only time it crashes. It also doesn’t crash all the time, out of the three times I’ve done it it has only crashed twice. My very first kill of Teq with TONS of people, it didn’t crash, same thing with my last attempt. I’ve been trying to replicate it but I can’t be on for every Teq attempt, it did not happen this morning though.
I just want to stress this enough, it’s NOT about WHY it crashed this is about the lack of allowing people to re-enter the same map and NOT get pushed to overflow because of a crash.
To those saying you still get the chest, you don’t unless you get popped back into the same map. My group almost had Teq dead (I’d estimate 10-20% left with 7 minutes remaining) and I reconnected almost immediately and did not get the chest. This makes me think the new overflow map overwrote the old event.
I’m REALLY enjoying this game but that is too punishing.
Welcome to gaming companies of this generation, where they would rush out features before it is even polished and tested.
I used to think Blizzard was a bad company but now i think they are a GOD.
Yeah… except for the fact that clearly the issue isn’t (fully) game-side, seeing as if it were EVERYONE would be effected.
I am doing both Tequatl and Wurm multiple times per week and I have yet to have a single crash on any of them.
I’ve got a very beefy system and this is the only game that has crashed in a very long time. The ONLY time it’s crashed has been on Teq. My point still stands, it’s incredibly frustrating and punishing for players to crash and not be given any time to log back on and get back in the same map. Heck, you could even have it check to see if the event is happening and give them time to log back on.
This literally killed my desire to play, I logged off shortly after this due to how frustrated I was.
My issue, regardless of why it crashed, is that you’re kicked out of a map so quickly without even a chance to reconnect. Thus losing any and all progress you might have made. That’s an INCREDIBLY punishing decision by the team. Giving someone 120s to reconnect before giving up their spot on a map seems incredibly fair.
It’s not a system issue on my end. The ONLY time it’s crashed has been 2/3 times I’ve done Teq.
Now in the last two days, twice I’ve been killing Teq and the game crashed and I’m kicked to the overflow map. Tonight, he was almost dead and boom, it crashes and I’m put into a new area where he’s back up to 100% health and nobody is there.
I’ve only been back playing for about two weeks (I started at launch but quit when WoW:MoP was released) but holy heck if this is common for these world bosses, I’m back out. This is the worst system!
Would lowering the CD on Bladetrail would help with the gap closing?
If this truthfully is the case, why would they allow the class to be so bad and not give it buffs?
So I started playing GW2 at launch but quickly quit for MoP (I was a huge WoW junky raiding at top level ) and I recently quit. In my free time I’ve picked up GW2 again, I had decided to start a new Ele char since I didn’t remember how to play my warrior. After leveling up to close to the same level as my warrior I’m finding that the damage is just.. okay with my ele and it seems like when I hit max level it’s going to be really complicated. I’ve been considering going back to my warrior but I’m concerned that they will be worthless in groups since their damage is horrible (or so people say on different forums).
I know this is the warrior forums and might be a bit biased but should I stick it out with my warrior or learn my ele?
