Guild Wars 2

It really was a great place to put siege, a few trebs on top and have an enemy zerg below you. It’s like a scene from Starship Troopers.

DemonSeed.3528:

I doubt it’s an upper tier only problem, it is everywhere.

Well good to know it just isn’t T1 servers having this issue, might be good if we all report the issue so Anet can try to find a solution or where the issue could be coming from.

There are some major issues with upper tiers in WvW having skill lag which can make it very unplayable. Which is sad since it is one of my favorite aspects of the game. I just wish ArenaNet would actually do something regarding the issues of lag on their servers so it can be enjoyable again.

Clownmug.8357:

It’s funny seeing history repeat itself. Everyone’s saying their main profession’s elite is terrible, just like the first HoT beta weekend. I guess if there’s another one of these weekends the devs will probably buff everything across the board. Then we’ll have a year or two of whining about the PoF power creep.

Guess you haven’t seen the PVP side of the weekend.

Willkilliam.5012:

With new content on the way it will be impossible to play with each map q 30+ on reset.
My ideas are add another map or increase the population size per map

I see what you did there BG player.

Not just Siren’s, Snowden Drifts is having the same issue with lag, and PvP unranked is having the same lag issues. Is Anet servers getting DDoSed again?

I have been experiencing lag in the new map Siren’s and WvW and in other areas. My ping is fine, I asked if others were experiencing it and they are. This is just a recent occurrence.

Because there are those of us who like to do story in a party… let us KNOW it’s basically a SOLO instance instead of having us stand around and not have a chance at the achievement.

They are aware of the issue. Apparently its always an issue at this point. Decay timer, skills unbalanced, skill lag in T1 on the servers, and now, lets add server crashes to the patch that eats your tactics that you add on something, erases it, and then asks for more. Fix the bugs, issues, and work on WvW properly instead of half kittenary trying to set it up for things to come.

And now after crashing in WvW, it crashes right afterwards when logging back into the game.

Since the update players who had the loyalty/commitment bonus in wvw have lost it after the patch. Smooth.

ArchonWing.9480:

Hmm, been standing still for 7 minutes, and no decay yet. Just killed some guards a while back.

The problem is that it isn’t everyone. Its effecting some people where the participation timer is draining too fast on them. Logging out for a bit and then coming back to the game is one solution, but is it really the best solution since it really doesn’t fix the problem since it’s RNGesus regarding the bug.

Klipso.8653:

Don’t have to worry about your participation bar if you participate.

Or by the way, there is a bug in the game messing with the participation, even though you are active as kitten.

Sikamori.4791:

The decay timer only hits you hard if you aren’t doing anything in the first like 5mins.
Put 100 sup into a wall? you get the same timer before the patch.
take 2 camps in like 10mins? you should get the same as before the patch.
kill like 5 players? as I said, it’s the same as before the patch.

It only hits you that hard with the 1min if you aren’t doing a lot. It all depends on how much you do.

Which is kinda sad because ohey I can take 5camps then go back to afking like normal.. yay! [I don’t do this, I’m just saying this doesn’t really stop people from afking, it just makes them put in some work for 30mins ish then go back to normal..]

That being said, this should kind of help those complaining about not having a high rank, it’ll either push your butt into doing work or you’ll give up. This doesn’t hurt us that have been in wvw for a long time and will still be there until the mode/game shuts down. :P

This is where there is an issue, I was playing hard on a T1 match, killing guards, capping objectives, and yet the decay timer was still doing the same old thing, 30 seconds added to a 1 minute timer per kill. I was at tier 6 participation and it was dropping fast.

The problem isn’t that I wasn’t active doing things in game, it was within 1 minute. So if its working for you, that is fine and dandy. But then that means there is a bug where others are being stuck with a decay timer of 1 minute and it doesn’t increase.

And believe me, I have a high rank in WvW, along with other things. So that isn’t the issue. As it was stated before and been verified by others that the decay timer is either bugged or broken and needs to be adjusted.

Yuffi.2430:

The decay timer isn’t anything to do with outnumbered. Do you seriously think that players can hang around on a map letting their participation decay while it’s outnumbered? The more players there are doing this the less chance of outnumbered existing in the first place!

There are two separate things here. The change to outnumbered is a step in the right direction, although it’s not clear what happens if the buff doesn’t last for the full five minutes. Presumably the outnumbered credit will be more rare now.

The decay inactivity change is presumably about trying to stop players hanging around in citadel (or another “safe” place) and occupying a queue slot that an active player is waiting for.

For the record, I’m in favour of the outnumbered change. Haven’t logged in yet to see the effect of the decay timer, but as someone who often scouts and roams, I think this change will be a lot less welcome.

This isn’t about the outnumbered buff corrections. This is about the decay timer correction which is completely messed up. I could give two kittens if outnumbered gave pips or not, but that decay timer basically tells me that my time fighting in WvW, or running across a map to take an objective or have a zerg fail a fight without a single death kills my chance at rewards because there wasn’t enough time to reward me for a kitten minute.

THAT is the issue, that is what needs to be FIXED. The decay timer is STOPPING active PLAYERS from doing objectives due to TIME CONSTRAINTS.

This reply really isn’t directed to you, but more to the issue that is currently happening. Outnumbered means jack to me at this point, but basically killing my rewards due to a stupid timer that is linked to killing something every 30 seconds is ridiculous.

Here is the thing, the new decay timer waits about a minute till aggressive decay. Each kill tacks on 30 seconds to the timer for a total of 1 minute. Are you kitten kidding me, you basically took the module for the kill streak booster and added it to the timer?!?

You just basically hurt WvW right there for the reward track system and pip system. There are commanders who wait for those to gather up at a gate before moving out and sometimes it takes them several minutes to gather. Then you will have roamers who are trying to kill stuff on large maps.

Adjust the timers to something more reasonable, the current decay rate is way too fast.

You’re not being punished, you’re being rated as someone who can’t carry silvers because that’s what you are.

Pretty much what he said, if you can’t get more than 60% wr you are where you belong in the system. Imagine if you climbed with 60% wr that would be crazy

The issue is they ran out of people to play that are better, so they will have to carry a win % much higher than 60%. Combine that with the fact that top tier players can get matches with silvers on their team, I can see why it is frustrating.

You have to love the new match making point system once the population drops during the season. Yes seeing low points on carrying a win to large number losses because you can’t carry a team does make the game mode not playable, let alone try to be fun.

Sadly, replace Scottish by PvP players, PvP player rant. Funny thing is, fresh air can be referenced it in… but yeah. PvP at this point is at it’s all time low.

Marxx.5021:

I am a mid gold player. Last match was all player in my team solo against 2 duos 1 solo. One opponent duo was #1 and #2 in europe. Well I don’t mind loosing such a match but it shows how the lack of players hurts the game. It is really a joke that ANET’s system lowers my MMR for such a match.

I am going to have to agree, if I get paired with a team that has a lower mmr than myself, and that team loses, I lose more points than them because I couldn’t carry the team. What’s the point in that?

It was 480 now it’s 480! By Ogden’s Hammer, what SAVINGS!

It should be a separate system for placement, then it should unlock ranked for the season so you can play there afterwards. But do not have people in placement matches going through ranked queue because they were available and their skill rating is at that point in time there because they haven’t tanked it to bronze or lead level (I wished it existed).

Are placement matches going through ranked queues? If so, seriously pull that kitten out into its own queue.

Lovely, no reason to replay any personal story without having nagware messages on the top of my screen – since I had already beaten this personal story in the past. But seriously putting back up there for the replay is “kitten”.

This personal story keeps popping up on my list even though I keep quitting the story.

NeXeD.3042:

Kraljevo.2801:

NeXeD.3042:

do you have proof where it says you won? looks to me like you could have capped that point after the fact.

Look at the rank points.

please explain in more detail how the rank points matter as i may or may not be ignorant.

The rank points after the match show who won the match, having over 1.7k means top stats and winning the match.

I have to agree, it is extremely frustrating to play a revenant with mace. Searing fissure doesn’t work correctly on certain level inclines when fighting an enemy. The animation is fine, but the application of damage and condition damage to the enemy does not occur. The hit range of the skill’s height needs to be increased or something. Its been over a year since the release of HoT, and still has yet to be fixed.

So I have tried doing the WvW Supply Lines Guild Mission in 2 different guilds, three times. Escorted 8 yaks successfully, but did not receive the reward. This has also been effecting other players in the guild who helped escort yaks (3 player minimum on the yaks) but still no reward once completed.

Yeah same issues going on with all the Norn personal stories since the ground isn’t showing up. As soon as you enter A Trap Foiled, you crash.

Not seeing any other personal stories crashing out other than the Norn personal stories. I even tried doing a -repair on the gw2 64 bit client. Still the same issues with the rendering of the ground causing the client to crash.

Same issues, can get to the character select, there is a delay where the play option is grey, then clicking the play option, there is another delay then error Code 42.

Or better yet, anet allows a limited time map to be available for daily rooms and put some restrictions on the daily room choices.

I love how at the end of the match it asks do you want to keep the party and the only option available is yes. I want my option to click no and get out of the match.

Varre the Underhanded, has just wiped out over 20 people that came to fight it, it was first at 4 people, which shouldnt have had a scaling issue. But those attacks… It would be nice to see anet review some of the bandits regarding their damage or update their tool tips.

I have been noticing a lot recently that trying to accept new people to a party for the accept/decline option that clicking accept does not accept them into party, nor does right clicking and selecting accept invitation.

The work around so far is to decline (which works) option, and then re-invite them.

I have one better, multi-server guild doing WvW for missions, but you can’t cap a camp and wait for the rewards, since it requires 3 people.

They wanted us to socialize and have bigger guilds, but yet, we are all separated by different servers.

Right now the new guild functions for HoT is not impressive to say the least.

The sound bug is soo bad on Windows 10 that I can’t even use the task manager or taskkill command from the command prompt to close out the program.

You are not the only one having this issue. I have been seeing this error pop up now and I would wish they would fix it. It happens before the login screen and there are no issues with the internet connection. It would pop this error around 2-5 times at most and then it would come to the login screen and login like normal.

This is an issue that I have been experiencing, where I would be in certain areas, like queensdale, sparkfly fen, brisban wildlands, bloodtide coast, and if I go to character select to check something on a different character and then log back into the original character afterwards, it would warp me to a different part of the map or a different map all together. Has anyone else been experiencing these issues?

Whats buggy about this. Auto-balance options, it doesn’t work and only punishes you if you volunteer if you are looking to win and go to a unbalanced side having 5 vs 2. I could understand if the daily was 3 rounds, but 5… with that broken option and you load into a match that has 260 to 20… and guess which side you loaded into. Nice one.

I am seeing the same thing happen in all maps. Get stuck in the loading screen while way pointing in a zone. Has happened with Lion’s Arch, Caledon Forest, Frostgorge Sound as well. I have a feeling it is not just map specific.

Update: after waiting it out the loading screen the following error appears: “The game client has lost connection to the server. Please try again in a few minutes… Error Code 7.”

I am having the same issues with teq as well. It’s been an on going issue even with new systems.

So someone at anet explain to me how 100% Magic Find works in PVP? Because there are no loot drops and it was stated before that magic find doesn’t influence bags, sooo what is the point of this?

Even after this patch there has been issues still ongoing with the lag, rubber banding, and disconnects.

I am running into the same issue, but I just tried to join one party, it never added me to party and then I get the “You have joined too many parties recently…” and I have tried logging out and back in, but I cannot join a party via LFG tool.

The presents are a pain now due to the groups of people trying to get across, not only that but the timer, you made it more of a pvp jp then what it really was. I loved the jp last year, but this year, no thanks.

It made me feel that with this fight, you have to be a warrior, guardian, elementalist, or a mesmer to do this fight to succeed. All other classes aren’t doing enough dps to get it done. And poor necros, don’t bring them if you are a condi necro, because you can’t crit and conditions have a cap. The other problem is the organization of lower tiered servers to herd their cats into doing what should be done for the fight and then there are the people who are akitten the map or even worse, afk on the turrets during the fight.

GG Anet.

I noticed this with incinerator and kraitkin, I am scared to look at the minstrel on my other character, because it seems they haven’t been updated or was a previous build sent out as the patch before the legendary polish was added?

Yeah several of my alts got the birthday present but my first/main character did not and his /age is 12 months. So upsetting for my main and oldest character being jacked out of a birthday present.

melodey.4652:

So Princess Snuffle [TEST]/[DHE]/etc spent 7 hours today in IOJ BL walking back and forth between sentries with her commander tag up not doing a thing except intercepting our ninja attempts.

What I want to know is what is she getting paid to do that mind-numbing job for your server and if it’s a lot, can I be recruited for you guys? Need the gold and all.

Let me give you a clue. Snuffles isn’t in [TEST] anymore, they joined one day and then I kicked, if you would read previous posts you would see this. And all snuffles is doing is feeding on your paranoia and trolling you.

Miss Firesss.3704:

Soooooo, who from IoJ would like to solve this mystery for me?

(Hint: Look at the guild)

Well since the person who recruited this person had went to bed, this was recent and was dealt with and was also brought to my attention as well since I wasn’t in WvW at the time. The person in question who recruited this person has been in many fight clubs and recruits based on their merits as a fighter for duels. He asked this person if they wanted to come to IoJ, in the end they refused to leave DH for a transfer. And that person was dealt with after by the person who recruited them.

The matter has been dealt with personally, if you have any concerns you can address them to me in game civilly if you wish to continue this any further. I apologize for the inconvenience or paranoia this might have caused and I look forward to fighting you all for this vintage match up and good luck to you all.

*edit was for personally dealing with the matter.
