Is WvW extra laggy today? I fought bg blobs all last week but it wasn’t this laggy. Today is on the verge of unplayable.

Using mind stab whilst moving locks my character in place – I don’t mean my character just stops to use it – I mean my character is locked for a second or two, and I have to try and get them moving again either using both mouse buttons or the keys i have binded for movement.

It’s really bad for pvp as it’s like a personal stun? Does this happen to anyone else.

Also the game is super laggy.

I’ve noticed this too. I’m in a small wvw guild and nobody was turning the tactivators back to public after I had turned them on private, to prevent trolls, yet the tactivators constantly went back to public activation. Quite annoying when trying to focus on commanding and winning fights.

Guys please. I’m not talking about condis in normal, lag-free gameplay. I generally can deal with most enemies on my daredevil, for example, as it has quite a bit of condi cleanse – I only struggle with certain super condi heavy builds that some thieves, mesmers, necros, warriors, and engies run.

My post is specifically about the situations where there is massive server wide lag and how condition builds have an edge over others there.

Artaz that is good advice yes – and many people already do run these sorts of builds – it’s just hard to counter conditions when there is so much lag going on. In a laggy battle power builds struggle to get off their attacks, as do condi builds too, however once a condi build does get their attack off the conditions stay – and generally get ramped up and stack due to the inability to properly cleanse then (due to the lag).

And yeah I know JQ has blobs, BG has blobs, Mag has blobs, even YB has blobs. I didn’t mean to come across as if I was specifically saying one server – I just wanted to talk about the gameplay issue of the lag and the way that condis have an unfair advantage in these situations.

James you’re a classic maguuma memer, I love it. But please, if you are going to make things up, try hard and make it interesting and/or funny. The thing that you made is up is that I was “trolled” on Maguuma. I went to maguuma for the mapchat service. I had a tonne of fun and sadly had to leave because of other servers going weird due to guilds moving and hopping. I didn’t really enjoy playing on maguuma because I missed socialising with ppl in voice whilst raiding – but the map chat banter was great.

And if you know me well you’d know that I die all the time. It’s a part of wvw life when you run pretty glassy like I do man.

Finally – to address some serious points – many people who have posted have somehow completely ignored a vital aspect of my original post – the fact that map blobs = lag which means condi cleans skills/utilities are not functioning. Skills are literally not kittening working. Anyone who has been in map blob fights knows this. Ergo, and I hate to have to kittening explain it again – because if you didn’t understand it the first time than you’re not going to understand it the second – but just in case someone impresses me, due to the lag creating a scenario where the cleanses are not functioning then the condis continue to stack and do damage. Please understand that many skills that power builds use are also unable to be used during this lag. Condi builds have the advantage as the condis still tick whilst things are lagging, not only this but they stack, and so the damage increase becomes phenomenal, due to people being unable to cleanse.

Example: JQ have a map queue blob running condition heavy builds (which is already cheesemode because they outnumber us and because conditions are able to be applied faster than classes can cleanse)

What!? This makes no sense at all. You’re probably standing in the melee train eating all the damage and the condi’s that come with it. how about dodging left or right and avoiding the condi’s and damage.

You seem to be overreacting and/or trolling? My post makes sense because I’m reporting factual gameplay. Nothing you wrote has any value because if it was so simple as just dodging left or right to avoid the condis and damage when fighting a map queue blob I wouldn’t have bothered to make the thread. I’ve played wvw since the beginning and I know what I’m talking about. If you really need me to hold your hand here I can get some footage to prove what I have said.

Example: JQ have a map queue blob running condition heavy builds (which is already cheesemode because they outnumber us and because conditions are able to be applied faster than classes can cleanse) BUT what is also occuring is that JQ have their own lag that they bring due to the sheer ridiculous size of their map blob.

What happens is that due to the lag utilities and such cannot be used properly, if at all – this also means things such as blasting waters and what not are impossible too. So whilst everyone is fighting and lagging – if one was to try to cleanse the conditions, one cannot. Meanwhile the conditions continue to tick damage whilst the server lags.

Ergo conditions have an unfair advantage in wvw, especially in tier 1 or wherever there are ridiculous map blobs.

inb4 ppl say to leave t1.
Inb4 ppl say to play conditions too.

Arenanet it is time for you to pay attention to wvw and fix these glaring issues.

Anyone here enjoy using fist flurry? How goes the double pulm impact from palm strike? I’ve been trying it in wvw but it’s tough to land.

also does pulm impact work with all interrupts? e.g. would the dragon strike from dragon banner cause pulm impacts when it interrupts?

Can you please make our character automatically turn to the target we have selected when we use grasping darkness. Right now if the targeted enemy is not directly in front of us then the skill won’t work. In wvw this is rather annoying as enemies are often bouncing around moving quickly, many other skills do not require our character to be facing directly towards the targeted enemy in order to be used, could you change this please as a quality of life change for reaper?

Many thanks,

Hi Devs; bad lag recently, any idea why?

G’day Devs. There’s been some notably awful lag recently in WvW. For people from all parts of the globe. Are you guys aware of this by any chance, or is there a reason for it that you may know?

I can’t play WvW as badly as I normally can when there is no lag. When I lag I am nigh invulnerable, until I totally dc, of course :P.

Grenadier Temporarily Disabled

in Engineer

Posted by: FXLEACH.9436

FXLEACH.9436

About godkitten time. And look at all these scrub engies complaining that their instawin button has been disabled… That’s sad.

Why did it take so long to disable this one trait? As an engie player, Grouch, you should have noticed it wasn’t working as intended. Did you not bother looking in sPVP where there was double engie daily wins (I’m not making this up) and teams of engies 1 shotting other players with grenade barrage?

Did you not bother going into wvw and see the hordes of engies spamming grenade barrage at every opportunity?

My friends noticed the trait not working as intended almost immediately after the patch, and also chose not to abuse it like other players did, and they also chose not to spvp (a game mode they normally play, and play well) because it was full of scrub engies spamming nades.

If there was a patch, say, immediately to correct the trait, or at least disable it, that would show competence and intelligent on Anet’s part. Sadly that wasn’t the case, and it’s taken ages for anything to be done about it. At a time when you are trying to get pre-orders for the expansion, one would think these kinds of issues would be non-existent – in reality, they are, and they call into question Anet’s ability to deliver a quality product.

I knew we couldn't trust them! *SPOILER*

Msalakka, thank you. I use f.lux most of the time – I just find it silly that Anet haven’t given us the choice of a darker theme. Thank you for sharing the info on f.lux, it is great.

To the posters that just keep posting useless posts, please stop.

FlamingFoxx, you say a lot of things that sound try but you are neither correct, nor remotely near the truth.

" The opposite color scheme, dark-on-light color scheme, was originally introduced in WYSIWYG word processors, to simulate ink on paper.
There seems to be a dispute among vision and perception researchers about whether it is actually easier or healthier to read text on dark or light background; there is a similar dispute between users, when using each other’s computer terminals."

Enjoy your blazing white blue light damaging your eyes and interrupting certain chemical processes in your brain, this will occur both immediately and over time. Meanwhile myself, and others, are making the choice to create the best environment for ourselves. Discussion closed. Thank you.

The ‘brightness’ has been toned down since inception. I doubt it will be addressed again, especially not ‘done by tonight’. Lol.

It’s brightness, not ‘brightness’. Something can’t be change since an inception – as the inception is the beginning – perhaps you meant the bright white colour of the forum has been made less bright after the forums were created. I assume that’s what you were trying to say. I am not interested if you doubt it will be addressed again. I am interested in Anet listening to their players and giving them an option for a darker, more eye-friendly theme on the GW2 forums.

Ranger Mobility for tPvP

in PvP

Posted by: FXLEACH.9436

FXLEACH.9436

Rangers pets need a rework. I play a zerk ranger in pvp and enjoy it – I don’t get destroyed all the time in melee range because I know how to use my GS and a certain signet well. I never use the signet of the hunt because a passive run increase is worthless compared to the other utilities – so I am forced to use certain runes for the speed increase. Rangers definitely need more mobility. It kittenes me off that warriors are ‘nike warriors’ and so prone to running away – completely undermines the point of being a warrior and shows that Anet doesn’t know what the kitten they are doing.

Anet, thank you so much for the new maps! they are really sweet and it’s great that they don’t have any gimmicky noob-attractors like skyhammer or spirit watch! We really appreciate that you’ve listened to our concerns!

Thank you so much as well for making new game-modes! After such a long, long time playing the same mode over and over (which, as you realized like we did, was somehow unable to be played properly by pve heroes) it is really refreshing to be able to new game-modes!

And thank you for actually putting in a tutorial that properly teaches pve heroes how to do well in each game-mode. Because, as you recognized, it’s terribly frustrating knowing what to do but having 3 useless pve heroes running around dying to the other team in no-man’s land.

And finally, thank you anet for addressing the common super boring face-roll builds that we all see played: decap engie, zoo necro, hambow warrior! It is great that you actually made it clear you don’t want pvp to become a game of 3 builds and who has the better latency. It really shows that you care and that you are determined to deliver a gaming experience that is complex, balanced, and enjoyable for people that care about it! It’s fantastic that you agreed with us that it’s not about the quantity of players, it’s the quality – and changing from trying to get every joe, kitten, and harry into pvp, instead, making a quality product that attracts players that LIKE pvp and play pvp games across the board was a fantastic idea as it provides a really organic and energetic environment and community to be involved with.

Once again, thanks Anet for taking the SPVP forum seriously and for replying to us and giving us what we, the players/customers/consumers, want.

Cheers!

Curtis, players are reacting before actually taking the time to figure out the way new things work.

DonQuack, take your character that has the quaggan hat to the TP in DR or Rata Sum (or any major city) and speak to the black lion armourer. They will exchange with you the quaggan hat you have, for a quaggan hat skin which is free. This skin then permanently unlocks the quaggan hat skin in the warddrobe AND works as a free skin-over for any head armour piece you have. So you can now wear the quaggan hat in combat.

As far as I am aware, the clothes that have been turned into tonics were unable to be turned into skins to go over armour due to character/profession mesh issues (this is deep core stuff, and cannot be hot-fixed). So that’s just how it is. You can either sell the tonics or ask for a refund via creating a support ticket, I believe.

Spiderpig,

“. If legendaries were actually ‘legendary’ then I could see the issue; however, they are not simply due to the purchase-ability factor. Of course, if they weren’t purchasable to begin with, we wouldn’t be having this conversation at all.”
That is Lanfear’s view on legendary items. Which is not consistent with Arenanet’s view, nor my view. And I wouldn’t bother discussing any further with Lanfear the subject at hand as they fundamentally misunderstand the concepts.
