Guild Wars 2

poepie.6570:

Congratz to the first hacker of the week and Desolation are the winners!
Had this d/d ele jump up to the Lake wall from down below and started to hit ppl instead of walking out.

Please don’t cry hacks for no reason, the Ele wasn’t hacking/cheating/glitching or anything, it was actually my fault (in fact it’s Anet’s fault for leaving obvious bugs like this in the game), I pulled him to the wall so I could land my grenades more easily from the top of the tower and he bumped on it, was launched in the air and landed at the top of the tower, this happens ALL THE TIME for me especially on bumpy terrain, it prevents the pull from working correctly and ends up wasted. What a PAIN.

The Ele grouped up with me and we had a little chat, he was afraid I would report him for “hacking” when I knew full well what had happened.

So yeah, nothing to see here, move along, and Anet, would you be so kind as to look into this annoyance of a glitch pretty please?

Same exact issues with the skills flashing but never triggering or all triggering at once sometimes 5 minutes later, and chat, whispers, guild chat all working.

And yes I found that I have no issue at all in Metrica Province, while the other maps go from slightly laggy to totally unplayable with actions/skills freezing for seconds to minutes then all triggering at the same time in a big mess of particle effects.

I posted in another thread but there are so many I don’t know which one Anet actually read, if they read any.

Same issue, and it gets worse after every patch it seems.

I joined the game around August/September and had no problem during the Halloween event, then the Lost Shores came and it seemed the lag issue/skill delay/all actions freezing, was a world wide issue so it was going to be resolved anyway, but some of us are still experiencing this abomination which makes using the simplest skill extremely frustrating to the point where you just want to logoff.

I just don’t get it, I’ve never had these issues anywhere else, and nobody around me cares because obviously they’re not affected, only slightly in WvW at times, for me it’s simply unplayable at this point.

Something very weird I noticed is that I have NO ISSUE whatsoever if I waypoint to Metrica Province, I can stay here all day and never experience any skill lag or disconnects, could it be because this place is underpopulated? Even when group events like the Fire Elemental start and people start to pile up, I still have no problem, but if I waypoint to another map, even small maps such as Rata Sum, it becomes a nightmare again.

I’m at a loss, it saddens me that we still have no answer on this issue when clearly it affects hundreds of players across servers, there is something, somewhere that is deadlocking hard for those of us affected, and for some reason, only this game is affected.

Right now I’m sitting in Metrica Province, because it’s the only place I found where I have no issues, everything is responsive and I don’t get any disconnects.

Am I supposed to stay here forever?

I’m probably one of the few who loves the little Golem, I’m an Asura so it’s fitting, I now have the mini and the endless tonic, I am complete.

I will probably get the doll mini next, because it’s super cute, and give it to my Mesmer, I tried at least 30 times to get the endless doll tonic, but no luck. Spent at least 20 gold on mats, ugh.

I have the Toy Soldier endless tonic too, and it’s hilarious.
I like the Griffon too, decision decisions.

The biggest problem with one time events… the massive lag, disconnects, and the feeling that your computer is trying its best to keep up but just can’t, while the latter could in theory be fixed by investing into an expensive CPU, we can’t do anything about the first two really.

After seeing how pretty much unplayable the Lost Shores final event was, I’m glad Wintersday was more “calm”, I liked the instances myself.

Doesn’t mean I don’t like one time events, and I would love to see them work perfectly without issues, as much as I would love to fly, but that’s probably never gonna happen.

I loved the rifle with actual pop sounds (no idea why it’s an issue with the actual skin), and the Mesmer gun, I didn’t realize it lasted 1 hour, I thought it was around 30 minutes but I had fun so yeah.

It is yet another thing that lacks description, Anet should try making these things more detailed so that we don’t have to ask them to confirm stuff on the forums.

Got the chest in LA first without issues, then found out about the Mists chest, which didn’t work, it was already opened (which shouldn’t matter as you can get the rewards from bosses even if the chest is opened by someone else), and I obviously can’t talk to Tixx anymore.

There should be a check for when you get the rewards, if you don’t or can’t loot the chest, you should be able to talk to Tixx again to “refresh” the chest.

I have no idea what the rewards were, I hope there is a fix for this even though it doesn’t matter to me as much as the LA rewards which can be used anywhere else.

EDIT: Tried teleporting to the Underwater Trials waypoint, then logging out, then logging back in and walking back to the center, the chest still looked open, can’t loot it, can’t talk to Tixx.

EDIT 2: Ardenwolfe, can you post the link to the other thread? If that’s true then it’s weird that you still have the option to talk to Tixx in the Mists even after you got your reward in LA.

Just realised something, are the Mists rewards the same as in LA or are they supposed to be sPVP specific?

This is mighty confusing lol.
