Guild Wars 2

just watched that videos and that is exactly how the lag is in Aurora Glade, just 3 times as bad sometimes…it unplayable…there is no way you can dodge anything like that…melee is impossible to play so i just stick to a range weapon and kite

Well tonight i went to the Sparkfly Fen Dragon Event and i waited there with like +-40 people untill the dragon spawned.

Note that just when i was in Sparkfly Fen at the top North part of it i was experiencing lag, server lag//delay. Since i’m playing from South Africa i understand and its usualy like just half a second.

When the dragon came i tried to run to it but i kept being popped back to the same spot over and over again. I switched to my scepter and spammed “1” on the dragon and got some hits but kept being popped back.

The whole time i check my FPS in the options and with MSI Afterburner and it was around 74fps with dips to like 52fps which shouldnt even cause lag like that.

And the worst thing is i didnt get any exp or even a chest…

lots of other people where complaining that there is a lot of server lag in the /map chat so i know for a fact there must be.

What can i do to improve this other than line speed? Is there a tool i can download? Cause i run this game smooth hardware wise.

Well I’m quite new in this game, not 80 yet cause I didn’t want to play it like WoW(race to 80 and do hc + you monthlys). Now I get why I couldn’t find any groups for the 30-66 dungeons…I tried for so long everytime but all there was was Fracs…

I still come on for my dailys and i do have my 150+ hours, so i played my moneys worth…but as this is going on i think i might go back to WoW. Atleast there the “race” is legit and balanced out more, not one guy can just go grind Fracs and end up with uber gear.

I agree about the PvP…Raid on Cap, Kyhlo, and that new thing sucks quite hard. the other maps are well balanced. best map imo is Foefire.

New game mode for PvP would be really awesome. Atleast give us a flag running mode.

1vs1 PvP…well some classes just > others 1vs1. So i’d say atleast 2vs2. Then people can’t moan cause its who you man-up with that will make the diffrence.

All in all i guess i wont be going for 80…that’s what i said at the start when i only played pvp since im from WoW and the dungeons are way diffrent(dying is no shame, not 1 single tank, not one single healer. all mixed up)but it can’t be compared to WoW. Though after playing AC and then CM and SE i got used to it. and i love the “must move around” factor of it! But seeing as that would be quite useless now…ahhwell might aswell stick to PvP dailys

Maybe gw2 wants to be more like WoW? Start a race and moving at such pace that if you dont do the dungeon thats best at the time as much at possible you get behind and new stuff comes out while youre still grinding for the old stuff. GJ guys
