Guild Wars 2

Was that a poem?

As someone who has lvl 80 guardian, necro, and now mesmer – I have to agree movement speed out of combat is just bad. I thought my guardian was slow but now I see that I have more options for swiftness and more synnergy when I use swiftness skills with several guardian builds. This is not the case for mesmer. This does not promote grouping with others since in many cases players will not change their build and playstyle just to make you run faster.
The solutions that I have tried (that will not change my build that I enjoy) are gem store speed booster – however those are pricey. I also make candy corn ice cream, which is only 5% boost and annoyingly goes away if I get downed or enter new zone.
The problem with mesmer movement speed is lack of COMFORT especially when grouped with other “fast classes”. Switching weapons, armor etc is busy work and should not be part of the game esp. when they lack synnergy with how class is played by majority of players (its like saying (hypothetical example)“well drinking a glass of nectar juice every 40 sec for health regen is not a big deal” – yes its not… but why?…. it add busy work, not necessary)
Now, I am not suggesting 25% speed boost, but the root of the problem is LARGE GAP in movement speed between classes. This is a problem in groups esp. randoms. There are many ways to go about dealing with this issue and I hope something is changed since as it is right now – I cant see this being good for grouping.

+1, yes please – Orr is annoying as it is now

Temple of Grenth event – tried it 2 times, failed both. 1st time I was yelled at for trying to kill him by 5 guildies who informed me that they’re farming here, so GTFO or stop trying to kill him. Second time – too few players showed up and when they got downed and no-one was able to res them they just stayed on the floor since “but wp is so far away”…. Facepalm

So, this past Sunday evening I finally got around to go and kill some karkas in the new zone, met 14 bots (8 in 1 area and 6 on the beach where I landed) and 2 humans. So far this has been my expierence running with bots and barely any humans. This is especially true for lvls 30-70 areas. Maguuma server here.

This “air raid” siren is definately annoying, it has to stop!

Excellent job on human male voice for sure.

The moaning/yawning sounds that go on perma-loop are a bit distracting and definately start sounding like something else once they are repeated >5 times on a loop.

Personally I find the Sylvaris’ British accents annoying and as a result I almost always skip cutscenes involving them, Trahearne in particular.

Have you ever heard anyone who is from the Caribbean? That’s what Sylvari sound like!

I fail to see sylvari voices as Welsh. If anything they sound like the Carribean islander’s accents.

The ony voices I do not care for are female norn and female sylvari.

reminds me of Admiral Shala’Raan vas Tonbay

It deffinately sounds like GLADOS, i think that was the idea or inspiration

The voice acting is some of the worst for this character, very dull and boring and almost sounds like someone pretends to voice act but is very shy and inexpierenced and they never project their voice.

I expierenced the “air raid” siren 2 times since I started playing this game about 2 months ago. Both are very recent (within last 4-5 days). I cannot recall what I was doing the 1st time it happened. The 2nd time it occured I was in full group running HOTW exploration mode. The funny thing is another team-member just had the issue during that instance and had to restart game. 1 min later – it was my turn.

Same issues here, Logitech 6500, single monitor.
Problem is especially bad during hectic battles (though graphics are smooth and fps is kept at 60 or slightly higher). Issue seems even more noticable when I switched my “turning keys” “a” and “d” into “strafe left and right” (but that’s just the key – it’s easier to notice but always was there).

I noticed that happening to the boots (from light armor set winged). Also noticed that unequipping and re-equipping fixes this issue. Then I noticed that every time my character goes into water – this bug occurs. Of course, it is very low on my “what grinds my gears” list as compared to the occasional “air raid siren” and mouse loosing focus.

Started having this exact problem as well (late 12/25 into morning of 12/26) in general PVE areas.
My husband and I were playing together and funny thing is he has no problems while my client keeps loosing connection. And no it’s not an issue with our network. Seems like I can be playing fine for 30 mins -2 hours then start lagging badly and finnaly loose connection. I can resume playing game normally after I reconnect but can get disconnected again at any point.
This is the 1st time I’m having this issue. FYI I’m on MAguuma server, not sure if it’s important.
