Guild Wars 2

Thanks Anet for making Staff Elementalist garbage to play in WvW again.
I stupidly thought I would dust off the old Ele and give it a run but after a week of Irreleventalist play I will put it back in the basement lock the door and throw away the key.
P.S Better make Meteor shower radius smaller and reduce the number of meteors, think i actually kind hurt someone a little bit once.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhh!!!!! I wish I new that earlier. Thanks for the tip!

-takes Garm behind the woodpile-
Blam!

In seriousness though that dog needs an off button, I am very over Immortal, Invincable Garm getting agro on the final Crack in the Ice boss over in a corner, far,far away from the minions I need it to run over.
Also annoying: Brahms slow motion hero walk over to the bloody scroll while you are on a timer, and bestest of all the boss charging through the minions and not killing them.
None of these issues would be so bad if I didn’t have to listen to Emo Brahms dialogue each attempt.

Queen Jennah minis and blade shards. The full 250 stack and 750 shards required to forge the Ultra Mega Mecha Jennah super siege golem really deserve to be placed in materials storage.
Probably a good idea to add bloodstone rubies and petrified wood for the guild upgrades.
Sure they are expensive but those 3 way for fights in Stonemist castle between Ultimate Red Jenny Deathbots are amazeballs!

I have the same problem, vendor will still treats me as though heart has not been completed.

In nearly 4 your of playing, I’ve never seen the game this broken.
Anet should check the security camera footage and find out who spilt water on the Magwai and feed it after midnight.
This post has no merit and will help no-one but the salt has left me dehydrated and needing to vent.

And now chronic skill lag to add to the list of woe. Game is playing like an epic 3 way battle in stone mist castle when there is not another player in sight. Npc’s are enjoying wailing on me with abandon as I watch my skill bar flash like a christmas tree.
Just trying to complete dailies before moving onto playing something I can play has turned into an hours long event.
Come back GW2, i miss you….

Same for me frame rate drop loooooong load screens many DC’s ever since Living story update, appears to be getting worse. It has never been this bad for me before coming onto 4 years in the game. Hope they nail down the problem soon as the game is a chore to play at the moment.

It has never been so bad.

Well I think the linking has been fantastic. After giving wvw away for a long time I am enjoying it immensely.
It is great to go to wvw now and actually have people to fight with and against.
Playing from Australia in Ruins of Surmia forces most of my playing into off peak times, it is awesome to not have empty maps greeting me or stare so long at the outnumbered icon that I start to think it’s part of my skill bar.
Linking has bought me back to this game mode.

I spent 4 and a half hours last night trying to get into a DS map with people in it, succeeded once got disconnected. I was in a squad, got shunted to empty map. I used LFG and joined a multitude of different squads always sent to an empty map. I spent 30 minutes in the company of a sylvari player attempting to get into an active map we partied up and got sent to different empty maps,but when we returned to the tangled map we would be placed together. There is something wrong with the system.

This system needs a lot of work, I also always get placed in an empty map, the LFG tool always places me in a different empty map than the rest of the squad. Every. Single. Time.

Hooray! After a dozen goes i finally manage to land in a map that actually has people in. Now all I have to do is not get disconnected in the next hour and a half.
15 minutes later…disconnected. Do I get put back in the same map, of course not, straight to an empty one.
Rinse repeat, rinse repeat.
At least those nifty specialization weapons don’t require anything from this tumor of a map.
Oh. Well I guess I can give up on those then.

And my second favourite webcomic Kronar of Oglaf. Seriously not suitable for work or minors.

A nod to my favourite webcomic, The Awesome Doctor McNinja

Same old story, 75% through Teq and the game crashes. Try to relog and it takes 10 minutes for Anet to send sms code.
I know this isn’t my end, every time the map is full the server starts bleeding out it’s ears.
Really need to get this stuff sorted, try lowering the map cap or something, the wonderous MEGAserver can just create more maps right. Right?

Game becomes unplayable at Tequatl again. Rubberbanding chronic skill lag, why do these problems keep coming back with every second patch? Game plays until that map is full, then it’s unplayable. Turning all graphic options to low does nothing, it’s just a fun couple of minutes watching the skill bar flash like a christmas tree and randomly changing location on map until death. Then wait for another few minutes while the server decides whether you are allowed to waypoint or not. Good times. AAA.

ok never noticed it thank you

Group of first timers, worked our way through to golem suit, wiped figured it out wiped few more times, get better.
Made our way through tunnel to the turret, turret destroys us, many times. Give in googled the guides, they all say the turret will agro the risen and party exits via tunnel on right. Everytime we get to the turret it can be swarmed with spiders we all get 1 shotted by it. Is it a bug or is there secret information we don’t know?
Thanks for any help.

13 pages I have not read them all and will not. Apologies as this has probably all been said before, but my feed back anyway.
Thanks for acknowledging that this event was a badly implemented idea.
The biggest problem I thought was you didn’t see how years of the Zerk meta would compound all the bad things about this event.
I pity any new player not lv 80 trying to score a hit on the mobs that were being melted by the horde of vet Zerk players that have been trained into leeching these events to minimize the grinding required for the rewards.
No xp, no loot,no karma, for a vet that considered the skin grind worthwhile this would still be a pain, but for one of the new players this equates to a complete waste of time, as they get no progression at all.
I can understand the grind required for ascended crafting and items like the luminescent armour, but if this is the future of Gw2, a grind for tokens at every event, that is just horrible and players are going to get sick of it real fast.
It’s really unfortunate that you guys dropped the ball on this one, the first event for many new players, you have done such great things in the past. I still tell new players about the Twisted Marionette. I hope going forward we can have a return to that style of event where co-operation was looked for and enjoyed by the players rather than an ugly tag and run zegfest that brings out the worst in player behaviour.
I love the game and can’t wait for the xpan, but I told my nephew not to bother with this weekend and play something else until it was over.
Bring back co-operation to the game, it’s a hundred times more fun.

Despite the grievous losses to the lionguard, the inevitable death of my main man Forgal, and worst, the welding on of my new BFF Treaherne, I still found the courage and time to shake my booty on the newly installed disco parapet at Claw Island.
I like to think that the dying troopers could look up and know that their sacrifice was worth it.

Like the title says, can’t even get to a world boss to enjoy the skill lag and disconnects there, kitten that’s half the fun of the game.

The lag is everywhere. Boss fights have been unplayable for me since the update.

100% Agree with you OP. Since the update every Teq has been a laughable exercise in watching the skillbar flash and do nothing while the event fails/disconnects.
Many here disagree might take a different view if they suffered the terminal lag that is effecting a large chunk of the player base. Would not recommend this game to anyone outside of the EU/US.
Simply unplayable in any group activity now.

With the constant skill lag and disconnects, I don’t even know what a Teq chest looks like anymore.

Bumping this thread and everyone like it. Game is unplayable at every boss event until the inevitable disconnect.
When is Star Citizen released?

Can’t agree more with OP I just fronted the cash for the ultimate pack and now I’m really kicking myself. I play from australia and have come to expect disconnects at any group event but now the game is just unplayable at any large gathering of players.
I know the subhumans below the equator don’t deserve a server, but you really have to do something.
I could not recommend this game to anyone outside of europe/china or the U.S, half the content is just broken for the rest of us.
And yes Sanctum sprint is still impossible to complete. Crystal aspect skills:great idea, pity the just don’t work from the southern hemishere.
Sorry about the angry tone but I am just so very frustrated that these issues are getting worse NOT better.

-extinguishing torch and lowering pitchfork-
Happy to purchase the ultimate package now.
Rainbows and kittens for everyone!

As every GW2 players BFF Treahearne likes to day: “This won’t end well.”

I had identical experience to you OP, was quite happy to front the $100 for the ultimate but just can’t get the bad taste out of my mouth over the way they have tried to screw the vets over a char slot. Holding on to my cash now.

“And the forums begin to blossom with threads of those that whine about other peoples whine threads, and so the circle of life continues.”-David Attenborough voice.

I will be buying the expansion as “Soon”™ as it’s on sale, or they do something about the new guy gets a super deal, vet gets to pay extra if you want a char slot scenario.
Bad form Anet, really bad form.

I feel your pain. All these broken events that stop you from progressing in this collection really are frustrating.

It looks like it will be the shiniest thing on the battlefield.
Argent?
Hell anything is better than Dragonhunter.

Looks like time to send my Staff Ele back to Nerfed Fields Retirement Village.
Motto: Sit down, relax and talk about the good ol’ days.

I will throw my two cents in: DragonHunter is a terrible name.
I would be happy with any of the others that have been suggested.
My own contribution would be “Argent” seeing as how this new spec is going to be the shiniest thing on the battlefield by the looks of it.

I have just done the Teq event and received nothing, even though getting the credit logs for all the defence stages. Lag also stupendous. Great game, be even better if it was playable without regular dc and lag spikes.

Same here. Has been very bad for me since the last update.

Oh yes please.
It would be amazing to get to play the game without the crippling mysteries of lag-magic.
New class idea: Lagomancer, you will never be able to predict his actions, and neither will he.

Same. Patched right out of the game.

Great game, it would be awesome to actually be able to play it properly.
Living in Australia is becoming more of a handicap with every “optimization” the sanctum sprint is now completely impossible to complete because of the latency issues that make every movement skill like infiltrators arrow, etc fail.
Trying to make Ele or engi work properly is just plain painful as the server can’t process the skills in time to achieve those funky combo’s.
Please oh, please great Anet gods have mercy on us poor subhumans that dare to live below the equator.

Skritt would be great, but nothing would compare to the awesomeness of a Quaggan thief.
Boo-hoo backstab!

Wvw castle defense death from above frozen shock troops

+1 Also some more options for light male armour that don’t make you look like a drag queen.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that if that’s your thing.

You can take my lone transmutation stone from my cold dead hand!

So it ain’t “Bubbles” then?
Elder Dragon Squelchy.
I’m calling it.

If you gave the top tier the option to go to the bottom for free, how many would take that option?
So few you wouldn’t notice.
People don’t join hopelessly outnumbered teams, they join the winning teams, the ones with the numbers.

And be done with it.
Or give the players in bottom tier the option to transfer up for free.

Learning the mechanics sounds all good and fine, but one shots are just junk. I play from australia. Getting killed over and over again from AOE that you are outside of, or Mortality visions that aren’t actually close is “disheartening” to say the least.
The least Anet could do is build me my own server below the equator so I could play the game “working as intended”.
Lag FTW! Always.

I think Non Toxic covered it all nicely.
