Not sure how wide spread these crashes are but in Ebg tag crashed then within 2 minutes I crashed along with others. Please post if you know of other people experiencing the same problem. I’m on the 64bit client not sure about others I normally don’t tend to have issues with crashes
Lots of people in map chat seemed to be having issues with crashes, I crashed 7 time before loggin off to read patch notes. But there was an Anet tag running with us and he was crashing as well. Said they are aware of the issue and looking into it.
They don’t seem to be in any rush to fix their downward spiraling mistakes which just leads me to believe they will continue to fail and once they kill off WvW permanently those failures will start to spill over to PvP (it already has started) and PvE.
+1
PvP major balance issues. PvE all kinds of issues over there with HoT
I’ve been getting BL keys about 30% of the time from my map completions.
The rest of the time I get transmutation charges.
Has this been in the last few weeks? Because your right that is about the rate I was getting them as well till of late.
I do map comps to lvl alts to 80, then do cursed shore map comp, PS to lvl60, LS2 #6 (key reward) delete and start again. This is a nice mellow grind for me if I’m not in WvW/pvp for keys and low to mid lvl mats. So I do map comp all the time.
I noticed that in the last few weeks I haven’t gotten a single key from a map comp. In total 15 and 0 and that only since I started to notice and counting, so there might be a few before I didn’t count.
So if anyone is getting about a 30% key drop for map comps in the last few weeks then I’ll just chalk it up to the worst run of RNG I’ve had in awhile. But I’m kind of inclined to agree with the OP that there has been a nerf, intentional or otherwise.
Would be nice if Anet could jump in here and confirm one way or the other.
They made a really great game that I enjoy being immersed in on a nightly basis. Thank you again for all your hard work and look forward to what you are bringing to the game in the future.
The future.
Entire game including HoT, F2P by end of 2016, current gated content converted to DLC for F2P players. All updates geared towards gem store sales and DLC.WvW will be replaced by an updated version of EotM factions.
Gw2 sPvP Esports….., was never going to happen.
A declining player base and layoffs, Anet puts the game on autopliot.
Right because there have been so many layoffs already. lol
When a couple of years proves you wrong will you come back and admit it?
Sure

This is a really good idea, selectable modes, for all the reasons stated above. Would make the arena’s actually functional, rather then a curiosity that you try once or twice.
Guys, I’m working with Matt on getting his post over here. He will add some additional information, and we want to localize it so that our entire community — not solely the one that speaks English — will get this nice and meaty info.
Forum posting is a voluntary option for developers. It’s great that Matt shared the info, and extra great that he’s working with me to share this globally and to share additional bits that he comes up with, too.
I believe we’ll be able to post up the fuller version later today in English, and provide a fully-localized version in French, German, and Spanish on Monday in those forums.
This post/tone and other like it on reddit rub me the wrong way, sorry. Post or don’t post, voluntarily or other wise, its just a game for me. But GW2 is your job, your salary, your career so don’t act like any dev posting is doing me (the customer) some kind big favor.
I would of course like more communication from the devs and anet that’s important to me, but more important to you, wouldn’t you think?
I’m sorry if I’m a bit gruff and some might say that Anet deserves better when they grace us with a post. But lets keep it in perspective your getting paid to be here, I paid to be here.
And all the hype/media 101 verbiage (“will get this nice and meaty info”) is getting really old, please stop.
Besides the whole HP rant I agree on the impact over the community… I also noticed how now people is less likely to res you during meta boss fights specially, now it’s extended to “in general” … there are still some noble souls out there…
Depends, if you’re downed and in a safe spot to rez, people will rez.
If you’re full dead, people risk getting dead themselves by rezzing.
If you’re downed, and in the middle of a fire field or similar, only people with the right utilities can do anything for you without dying.
This is a two way street: I consider you a jerk if you’re full dead and just sitting waiting for a rez, while everyone else WP’s to run back. (not you in particular, just any “you” who does this lol)
+1 Totally agree, if your in a “downed” state in the middle of a fight I will do my best to try and get you back up, even to the point of going down myself. But if your dead while the fight is still on, then you really need to wp and run back or wait till the fight is over. Rez’in someone who is dead in the middle of a fight takes way too long plus it takes two people out of the fight, one, you being dead, and two, the person trying to rez you.
JPs have always been a core “feature” of GW2
I don’t know that I would consider JP’s a “core” function of GW2, they’re more of a side feature (pre HoT). There was no requirement to do a single JP to advance your charter in any way in GW2 before HoT. Other than a little jumping to get to a vista, the actual “Jumping puzzles” on a map weren’t even a part of map completion. I’ve done a handful of JPs in GW2, none of them twice, and have never felt that I’ve missed out on anything by not doing them. They had nothing to do with my personal story, living story, toon advancement or skill sets. Not the case in HoT.
What I don’t get is that someone at ANET thought it would be such a great idea to make entire maps and charter progress gates based on a play style that a large part of your player base dislike. Someone at a very high pay grade at ANET is really out of touch.
Maze/jump puzzle maps, gates and grinds. If you don’t enjoy jump puzzles and dry top type of maps this exp is not for you.
Its not for me, 2/10
Somethings to think about.
This is not FFXIV or LTRO, their servers are in different locations from GW2. The path taken to get to each server is different. The only thing in common with everything is your ISP. According to you, you already talked to them, that is good. There are (2) static points in your connection to the GW2 servers, your ISP and the game server. The route between your ISP and the game servers can routinely change due to things outside of both GW2 and your ISP’s control. Run a trace route to the IP of the map you are in and you will see every point the connection passes through and you will also see the ping at each point. This will show you where the problem is.
If the problem was on Anet’s end, then every player would have the issue.
Your understanding and insight of how this internet thingy works is amazing. And although your post was completely unhelpful or necessary I do appreciate it.
1500 ping lag spikes again. Makes the game unplayable.
SEA with fiber optic connection
FPS is fine at, about 60-70 fps
Also play FFXIV, no lag no problems
Also play LTRO, no lag no problems
Yes, I’ve talked to my isp
(rant) Forget about HoT, forget about the updates, GW2 is not a fun game with lag. You have to figure out this lag issue, it’s real, (https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/wuv/WvW-Lag-March-2015). 4 mates have stop playing altogether due to lag spikes, I’m loggin in less and less, not getting any HoT sales here, because of lag. Fix the kitten lag.
Listening to Tyrion pugmanding on TS was a blast, had to mute a few times but he was funny as hell. And the bottom line, he is a good driver.
Dawn hasn’t been on FA all that long, they use to be HG and something else before that. The GL changes guild tags and severs all the time. Wasn’t all that big of a guild and all the FA natives that I know didn’t transfer.
I’m just really disappointed in the playerbase.
I’m really glad to see the WvWvW community stand up and say something. Rather then just roll over and take it….
1% pvp, dailies only now, a match here and there when the lag spikes in wvwvw become unbearable.
4% pve, only way to support my wvwvw, and/or when the lag spikes in wvwvw become unbearable. The pve in this game is mind numbingly boring.
95% wvwvw, really the only part of the game I find enjoyable.
So he is right that I don’t “only” play wvwvw. But it’s not by choice. And wvwvw is the “only” reason I log in these days.
Their metrics will show increased participation in wvw for the week and hence by their measurements it will be a success.
Not sure about this. My server, which would normally have 30+ ques during NA prime, haven’t seen a single que all week.
Yak Wee Week: Upon entering WvW you are transformed into a Yak. You then run around the map saying Weeeeee, Weeeeee, Weeeeee. The louder and the frequency you “Wee” determines your contribution to ppt.

I read this and said “WTF” outloud. This has to be a joke right?

If you haven’t noticed your player base is getting pretty upset at the lack of attention for the connection issues since LAST PATCH. Please do not try and feed us the usual “it could be your ISP, your comp sucks or sorry about your luck- check these settings bro”. Please have your team review this thread on your forums:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/support/Very-high-ping-since-23-June-2015-update/first#post5248783
A response would be greatly appreciated and a good start. 4k ping in PvP / DCing do not mesh well……..
I’m on Fort Aspenwood. Ohio .You really should check with your ISP as a first step.
Really? Never thought of that, thanks.
+1 Anet you really need to fix this.
+1 Same issues, pvp and wvwvw are unplayable for me right now, PVE, can get by but the spikes really kill the fun. Location; SEA.
Haven’t played wvwvw or pvp in over a week. This is getting really old, game is unplayable and the lack of any kind of response from Anet is a little irritating. Come on Anet this has been going on for awhile now, can you at least tell us you are aware of this problem and are trying to fix it. Or should I be just moving on to FFXIV?
“Artificial low drops DR to annoy people just enough to buy gems.”
^^This
DR has ruined this game on so many levels I’m surprised it’s not brought up more.
Bump, still waiting for the bad picture
Kind of feeling like a total blow off here Anet.
