Guild Wars 2

I agree underwater could use more love. Can’t remember the last time I fought there. Personally I would love to have more fully fleshed out “worlds” underwater. Some place you could actually stay and do things for hours, explore and what not, just like on land. If they had that, then I would agree that more skills would be justified (but not separate armor, sorry STIHL). Right now, with such little to do underwater, anet’s time would be better spent elsewhere.

One thing that I’ve found really frustrating is that auto-attack, CTRL + Right click, doesn’t remember my setting for non core skills, i.e. environmental weapons, weapons for events, instances, quests, or morphing into other forms with their own skills. I played a lot of Wintersday pvp and thought “Why do I have to keep doing this?” every single game. Also having recently played Super Adventure Box, a lot too, I thought this was crazy not to have implemented.

It’s not a big deal, it’s just really really annoying. Seems like an easy fix to me.

Cheers

Your rant is moot. Warriors are better than fine

warriors DO NOT need to be given anymore buffs/perks. Brock is right, if you’re not a newbie you can make a warrior build that is so insanely good (tanks, heals, massive dmg) that if anything it should be nerfed

I just ate and sold a whole bunch of craftable snacks and meals because the items no longer had that Ingredient (x) label, however I’m just learning that they still are usable. This is so annoying! Now I have to make the ingredients again at some point, though running out of room to store all these in the bank. I agree there should be a separate storage for these, but I doubt they will do that. It would mean losing 600 gems for a new bank tab

I can confirm this problem. It started happening only recently. Within an hour of playing I get a blank screen, as in the GW2 app goes blank, but can alt tab out and otherwise use the computer as per normal. I’m on a 1GB Radeon 5000m series GPU and just downloaded the latest 14.4 driver update and it is still happening. I’ve even switched to the lowest graphical settings, so I can definitely rule out overheating (my computer would shutdown, which it didn’t even on higher settings, not just go blank), and I’ve tried Arcades admin solution…

I’ve got an Ati HD4350, but I seem to have resolved the issue by running the repair tool and starting the game as an administrator.

… which did not work

1. Have a new section in hot join pvp for dedicated maps. That is, maps that are only that 1 map and do not rotate to other maps. That way you’re always bound to find the map you like, AND you don’t have to leave after every game to find the same map.

2. Have more usable items. One map has a trebuchet, another has a cannon, but other maps have nothing. Each map should have something you can use.

3. Have more maps that make use of height and water. Most maps are dry, flat, and have no strategy to them.

From Sydney, Aus, have been playing pvp since 6pm (GMT +10) and around 7:10pm, started lagging to an unplayable point (characters warp constantly).

This has been happening for months. Always happens sometime after 7pm. It’s like the game is forcing me not to play too much when I get home from work…

try pvp before and after 7:15 pm. it always starts to lag around then

Hello fellow australians,

Was just curious about other people living in melbourne and there ISP. I currently am with primus telecom, and GW2 has some very frustrating connection issues/errors/rubberbanding after 7pm, making the game unplayable.

The problem is isolated to gw2, and Anet support takes no responsibility, and claims its my ISP. The final suggestion from them was to try transfering to EU servers..

anyone have advice, or suggestions to another ISP in melbourne, which is lag free?

I got lag at 7pm too, but it’s almost 8:30 now and it isn’t lagging horrendously as it did before. Edit: Argh scratch that, happening again

I know i would being doing tpvp during oceanic time if it werent for my lag after 7pm that i get only with gw2.

anet blames isp, isp blames anet.

Wouldnt be surprised if other australians had similar problems.

I can confirm this. Been playing PvP a lot lately when I get home around 6pm (gmt +10). Sometime after 7pm (edit: closer to 7:15, almost exactly), lag hits the fan

I think it is strange that hotjoin provides a better, more fun game experience than solo queuing for tpvp.

Tpvp in premades is a lot of fun, but solo join is quite bad in my opinion. You often get only 3 or 4 people on one team, a mishmash of skill levels, and premades vs pugs.

As far as I can see tpvp is really only suited to premade groups; solo join tpvp is just an inferior form of hotjoin but with better rewards The only upside over hotjoin is the 5 per team format (also in hotjoin, but mysteriously hidden at the bottom of the list so usually there are few or no active 5vs5 hotjoin servers), and the ability to play with 2-3 friends as a group (which u can pretty much do in hotjoin anyway).

Hotjoin has gotten a lot of flak in the forums, but it certainly seems to blow solo join tpvp out of the water.

Any thoughts?

I prefer Hot Join and agree for the same reasons.

‘’Lick Wounds’’

Lately this never worked for me on land.
The pet just runs up to me and stands there like kitten yeah I don’t care…
Underwater it seems to work fine.

I can’t believe after 5 months this still isn’t fixed. A lot of people, including myself, have this only working half the time. In PvP it’s worse. Seems to happen a lot on an incline.

Hi Anet

I wanted to make an official thread for suggestions to the Hot Join PvP Browser because I couldn’t already find one.

So let’s get straight to it…

Let me choose the maps I only want to rotate to!

It would be nice to be able to select the maps I want to participate in exclusively. My favourite map is Battle of Kyhlo, and I believe it always goes to Raid on the Capricorn when the map rotates, which I don’t want. Right now, I only want to play on Battle of Kyhlo. Before this happens, I have go back to Heart of the Mists, go to the PvP Browser guy, and look for a game with Battle of Kyhlo over and over again.

Let me specify the amount of players!

Showing games not full and/or not empty I find is OK, but far from great. I don’t want to join games with less than 3 people, and I don’t want games with 1 less than maximum capacity, i.e. 15/16 or 9/10 are (in the majority of my cases) the same as full. I don’t like waiting around just to get a “game is full” error.

Don’t show me games that are nearly over!

Another great option would be to not show games based on time or amount of points. I’ve joined far too many games when there is less than 1 or 2 minutes left, or one side has scored more than 440 points. If I could have it my way, I would like to join games where one team hasn’t scored more than 200 points, and the game has 7 minutes or more left to go. Sometimes I could swear that I click on one map, but go to another. I think this could be because I joined a game that just ended?

These are just some of the things I’ve been thinking about. Even if they’re only applied to the Play Now button (so we can’t actually “choose” the game, but still have our criteria met) that would be great!

Thanks for reading
