Guild Wars 2

But, is this really a bug? With every single BG teamspeak server being taken down by DDOS attacks, my first thought was maybe that TC BL is being occupied by dozens of BG dummy accounts belonging to TC players?

Think Occam’s Razor. Why would this be caused by a game bug necessarily when such a simple answer explains it.

Has anyone at all been able to get inside TC BL to see if BG truly has no presence? Or is it really a dummy presence?

Same issue. Crashing every 2-3 minutes. Game is unplayable since latest patch. Updated drivers, rolled back drivers, etc, fiddled with anti-aliasing and other settings. Nothing works.

It’s strange because I was suddenly able to play in wvw for hours on Friday/Sat, but the days before that was hell and today is back to hell. Playing on absolutely lowest graphics settings seemed to help for a time, but I guess it was just an illusion.

Yeah, I have this bug also, but its only one specific character my Ranger. Other characters seem to be able to loot, but sometimes its hard, like I have to try multiple times to loot and the attempt finally sticks.

The Signet change is neutral because an Ele can already achieve constant speed boosts without having to dedicate a skill slot to it. Our heal glyph already boosts speed when you’re attuned to air and many weapons have a speed skill when attuned to air. So this change is for people who absolutely want speed without having to activate it.

I know there are a bazillion Mesmer nerf threads right now. This is mine to address my own personal issues with the class changes. I rarely ever post on the GW2 forums, but I felt strongly enough to finally come here and say something. It’s just my 2 cents.

Since GW2 was released, I fell in love with WvW. And Mesmer was the class I enjoyed using during WvW.

That’s all gone now.

I’ve been playing WvW now for 3 hours today…and all the joy and fun of being a Mesmer is gone. Why? Because I can hardly hit ANYTHING on a fort wall.

Case in point, my server’s army reaches a fort wall…and suddenly I’m useless and literally standing around for the 20-40 min it takes for the wall/gate to come down. Sometimes it takes over an hour to capture a fort. As everyone here knows, many forts have two layers to break through. Keep in mind, I’m not standing around doing nothing…I’m actually trying to fight using my Mesmer…except nothing works now.

Nothing works now at a fort wall. No weapon…nothing. Only Chaos Storm reliably hits for piddly damage and its on an outrageously high cooldown. I use it and I’m standing around for 35 seconds.

I might hit players that stand on the ridge of a fort wall with normal skills, but they’re smart enough to jump back after unloading their two button combo. Most of them don’t need to get on the ridge anyway to do massive damage to me. By the time, I run into range in 1-3 seconds, they’ve already backed off and are unhittable.

How often is my Mesmer in front of a fort wall during WvW? ALL THE TIME.

So, for this very basic reason…that I can do nothing in front of a fort wall for however long a siege will last…I’m quitting the Mesmer class to play Ele.

I know Ele’s aren’t OP. I just don’t want to stand around doing nothing in front of fort walls. I come home from work, I don’t want to wait around on my character while others classes are so much more effective at siege combat. I want motion and dynamic playstyle. I actually did try and fight with my Mesmer at a fort wall…but she’s effectively doing nothing now.

What do you call missing 9 out of every 10 attacks over the course of a 20 to 40 min seige? And suffering cooldowns for all those failed attacks?

Absolute frustration.

At least other classes without much ranged attack had mitigating qualities. Way to ruin a good time. Surely, there were other solutions that didn’t break Mesmers for fort battles.
