This issue has hindered my playtime quite a bit… I was running around doing map completion, thinking I would be working on this and well… No! The only viable way to do it is to craft your gold away and hope you don’t DC.
Please remove this one-sit-down-one-area bs asap.
It wasn’t a problem in GW1, why is it a problem in GW2? You could do a boxing mission in GW1 and when you “died” you just got knocked down and could get back up, but if you couldn’t get back up in time you would die, so people would just map travel out… but it took a lot of micromanaging and planning to do. They didn’t implement this BS there, so why do it in GW2?
So, I had a conversation with a developer about the game and I mentioned movement not being synchronized to the servers and how it allowed for speed hacks. They asked why I thought ArenaNet would release a game in this state. I didn’t really give a sufficient answer, nor did I receive one… but It was clearly implied that this was intended.
Do you have any idea what he meant?
Why might ArenaNet release the game without preventing speed hacks?
I doubt it was an oversight. Maybe an attempt at allowing a minor hack, to catch those who use it and prevent more major hacks.
Here are a few audio bugs I have experienced during gameplay:
Alarm – This is nonstop, is not controlled by audio settings, and is not fixable without restarting the game. It is played at full volume and even when GW2 is muted in background.
Hammer – This is random and seems like a notification, but has no meaning. It also plays full volume, even when GW2 is muted in background. It is not constant, and the timing seems random.
Running Water – When in water combat, there was a audio effect of running water, supposed to sound like splashing, that was played at full volume. I believe it mutes while GW2 is in background.
If anyone can add to this list, post some details.
