Guild Wars 2

Khisanth.2948:

This looks like the thing that can happen with button mashing and channelled skills, probably some lag involved too. There were similar complaints about Hundred Blades doing the same thing before.

Last night i’ve tried to check if was the dagger offhand triggering the bug, so i’ve swapped it out for warhorn… for some hours nothing happened until i got it twice in one fight :\

I am running our of ideas…

For the past few days, i’ve had a quite annoying bug with the soul spiral skill, in short: during a fight, after using skill 5 executioner’s scythe the cast time of soul spiral stops randomly and goes on 3.9s cooldown like if i had changed a weapon during a cast time of any other skill, but is not possible since i’m in reaper’s shroud.

I’ve already spoken with the support under “report a bug” section, and they’ve told me to post it here to gain more attention from the developing team.

Here is the text of the mails, along some videos with proof:

First mail:
Last night i’ve encountered a bug while recording that happened to me and others a few times in the past as well. Here’s the video:

https://youtu.be/QSyLoNCm1jI

Some people say the skill 5 animation blocks the skill 4 putting in cooldown like it would be change weapon in the middle of a cast, but that’s not the case.

https://youtu.be/KliP7NMfVTU

Here’s just one example of the tests i made with that group today, but none of us encountered this issue once again… We have no idea what triggers it. It can’t be the fact that i’m spamming skill 5 and 4, because we tried many times and still works perfectly fine. The issue is not in my gameplay either, because i’m not cc locked by anything, i’m not stunned or knockback or anything else because also the other skills would have gone into a cooldown.

What’s most annoying of this is that it puts you out of focus during the fight, the skill is supposed to activate and deal damage plus do it’s combo with the chilling field, instead we’re left with nothing and with a big question mark in our head of what happened.

Response:
Thanks for reaching out to Guild Wars 2 support about the behavoir of that skill. I noticed that in at least one of the occurrences, you had 12 stacks of stability. I also noticed that, as you mentioned, your other skills aren’t exhibiting typical behavior of a character that’s affected by crowd-control and it appears to be a separate occurrence. I’d like to get some more information before I forward it on. Are you able to replicate this skill behavior outside WvW? For instance, when queuing those skills around training dummies does the same thing happen? Have you taken any more video since that recording that shows the skill behavior? If you have, please forward a link to it in your reply. I’ll wait to hear from you.

My second mail with more information:
I can’t seem to be able to replicate it manually… but i have a few ideas on what might trigger it.

Tonight the bug happened 4 times again, 3 on ring of fire borderland (green map), the same map of the other 6 that were in the video, and one time tonight in eb while i was tagged and fighting. I’ve managed to catch 2 of the 4 times it happened (because the other times i’ve forgotten to record…)

https://youtu.be/93sym2UmVSM

My ideas are:

After you press skill 5, if the 4 is pressed but not casted and you get a rapid change of ground level, it goes on cooldown (i think this because in the first clip, i’m moving down the ramp, and in the second i’m nearly falling as well)
What makes me think that it is not related to that though, is the fact that the third time it happened, was while fighting at south outer bay where the terrain is flat (really close to the gate as well), and the fourth time it was in the tunnel between ogrewatch and pangloss, i was tagged and was walking backwards when it happened.

Post mails thoughts:
I don’t know if it’s possible to replicate it in pve, also because i’m never anywhere close that, and i can say it’s not map related, because it has now happened on all wvw maps (haven’t tried os/eotm). What i can say it seems not to happen when i have changed build from corruptmancer to the old double wells/backline necro on full berserker with staff/dagger-warhorn.

Also, i’m not sure, but i think i noticed it happen on axe #2 skill, but i wasn’t recording, but i am almost sure that it happened… maybe it’s a bug related to having axe equipped?

If i will have more information i will make sure to post an update

Dara Potocska.8196:

Hey guys!

For those of you reporting the crash – we’re looking for some more information to help us with the investigation. (some of this may repeat information you’ve stated already)

1. Did you have other players around you in legendary armor when you crashed?
2. If so, how many people do you think were nearby?
3. What professions were they? (if you know)
4. Were you all idling in town, or in combat (or were you using specific skills).
5. When you crashed, did you see a crash report window or a small dialog box with a Code=(NUMBERS), or did you hard lock and not get any messages at all (and were sent straight to desktop)?
6. Were you playing in full screen or windowed?
7. What operating system are you using?
8. Are you using the 64 or 32 bit client? (We know some folks override to the old sometimes)

I know this is a LOT of questions, but any of these you can answer for us will greatly help as we see if its legendary armor or another issue causing the crashing.

Thanks!

Crashed in eb (eu) just now along other 3+ (by the look of squad 10ish) from my server

1 not sure if there was a legendary armor
2 40ish people
3 probably one of everything
4 all in combat
5 crash report window
6 full screen
7 windows 10 (last update)
8 64 bit

should have given us +100 gliko for not having night/morning group not -50 to fight with t3 servers

18.00 utc for eu seems reasonable and yes bring it back to friday

so autoloot is definitivelly another promise that has not been fixed in wvw… after 3 months already

anet likes us to rage i guess. they’ll share with us infos when it’s going to be all done so if wvw players don’t like the changes, they won’t do anything about that

NICE LOGIC. THX.

give us kitten infos before you do any more mistakes PLEASE!

seriously.

also give us friday night fun back, alpine bl and autoloot already.

so any news or this is another thread of “we are working on it, see you next year → 2017”?

i have this issue mostly when selling items on tp when the first time i log in game after have closed it

Rajel.8432:

Yeah I agree, to be honest I would let EBG + 3 Alpine Bls + 1 Desert Bls and GG we still have desert map and the classic alpine bls.

Anyway just test us anet, give us one week alpine bls and check the activity.

they will use the excuse “patchs have came afterwards, we should do stuffs with the map to set it up for coming back again and blablablabla” basically they would not bring it back any time soon like they did not bring back the friday reset after 20 pages of rages.

@junkpile go back following funny sunny bunny in eotm, the place you belong since you’re just troll-replying and insulting tt.

on my side i would accept the desert borderland if:
1 waypoints in all keeps AS UPGRADE and not permanent in the towers
2 if not the first, more direct ways to get from garrison to briar/lake
3 bring bay (fire keep) above the sand, not below
4: change white swords to yellow because there is too much white in the map to notice them

if it’s disabled because of the crashes, it doesen’t make sense disable it in wvw but let it be usable in pve and in pvp… or is it not usable in wvw at all? if it’s the second option i might get really pssd off.

fsp eb queue: 106 but sfr and kodash are not even playing so queues drops super quickly and people leaving teamspeak… awesome reset.

far shiverpeaks:

saturday reset for fsp: 80q eb 0 every other map
friday reset last week: 120 eb + 30 each borderland

THANKS ANET LOVE YOU MUCH

The person who wrote this Wiki entry … Really?

I created that article, but the builds are outdated now.

how to make a valuable title of wvw knowledges look like nothing… thanks to you man! i’m so happy that i made my 250.000 not following that bulls**t guide

Gaile Gray.6029:

Masteravatar.1509:

My suggestion is to advise the Community that the reset will go back to Fridays within an approximate time frame as Johns post can be misread as indefinate with no timeframe.

I honestly don’t know if it’s possible to set that sort of timeframe today, for the reasons John stated, but thank you for the suggestion.

The main problem is that the annuncement has been like “ehi! we made this decision that nobody asked for and we don’t go back to the old one even if 80% people prefers to keep it on friday”. It would have been MUCH different if the post would have been made like “Due to HoT release, we’re pushing the reset forward of 24 hours for a few matchups to accomodate patches on friday without making whole EU community rage because patching 10m after reset”. Also consider that the entire wvw community is mad because the “wvw team” (if there is still one) has barely no contacts with us AT ALL when instead pvp and pve get so much more attention… if there’s something wrong with those 2 game modes you will reply within 0.1 seconds but if there’s something wrong with wvw we must wait MONTHS (for example the kitten hackers messing up matchups week after week after week). It’s extremly frustrating being ignored every time and receive changes (golems week, reset shift etc) without taking in consideration the community at all.

Point for you for replying a lot more than wvw developers last year.

fsp friday reset: 4 queues of a total of over 200 people
fsp saturday: 2 queues and no enemies whatsoever on any ANY MAP.

i mean this is so obvious that saturday has WAY MORE PEOPLE! look at those stats! we had half of the people and enemy had barely no people at all so obviously friday is a dead day.

fsp had about 200 people in queue this reset…

-not enough people playing reset on friday -anet"stats"2015 #ruinwvw

edit: 120+ eb + 20-30 each borderland

devs, do you even wvw?

Still no reply from anet, pathetic absolutely pathetic, is this what a forum is for? Anet stop with this ridiculous attitude of telling us how and when to play this game. I dont give a crap about pvp, fractals or raids I want to have wvw fights on a map of my choosing.

24hrs old is the post, many views many replies, but no answer from any dev.
If u change a reset day with a reason, let us know at least what the reason is.
Now it’s like guys we change the reset, have fun with it.
If there is no reason to change it, why the hell u change it then?

Thats what angers me the most, they are always silent on these stupid decisions, if they just come out and say well this is just a temporary thing for a week or 2 because of the expac release, well then its np. To make a sudden change like this with no input, or reason given, or even reply to such unanimous negative feedback. It really shows how little they think of their own gamemode and this playerbase.

don’t worry… if it would be something about pvp matchmaking or a pve bug it would receive 10 replies from 3 different developers every thread within 1 minute… we don’t deserve anything i guess.

fun fact: pve and pvp gets a reply in 0.1 seconds but wvw gets nothing after 4 pages of people disappointed… and they won’t change it anyway because #notgivingakitten aboutwvw

also… they’ve not done most of the stuffs people have requested for wvw in over 3 years but they’ve done this changed nobody has even asked for… just bullkitten

i’d rather prefer have wvw down 2 days early and keep the reset on friday…

What in my opinion should be addressed about the squad system for better managment of guild raids and open raids with 50+ people:

-Add a subsquad target for 5-men subsquad members only and change it’s color (for example keep it red or purple/blue)
-Add a squad target pinged by the commander of a different color as well (one of the 3 above)
-If the 2 sub-targets are not gonna be implemented add a internal cooldown of 5-10s for switching target because 50 people spamming it f**ks up the chat and the minimap
-Less blue dots in minimap – impossible to see if the group made orange swords on a gate/by jumping off a zone because of too many dots covering it
-Add a subsquad tag for ranged groups (eles tag, necro tag, focus party)
-Show the party boons for the own subsquad
-Officer for party managment of the subsquads because commander can’t manage 50 people by itself while commanding on ts and fighting
-If the suggestion above can’t be implemented let people be free to switch between subsquads for self-party managment
-Don’t show up the annoying message of ready up

So far this is all i found is missing that is kinda important (the most is the party boons, targets spam and second tag).

PS: I know the actual UI isn’t the final one but i’d prefer leave my feedback over here, if you got anymore suggestions post below and i could edit mine too.

probably the guy doesen’t know there are other 2 exits from spawn… they didn’t cap keep with 8 omegas anyway

12 stacks and not even a junk item worth 1 copper… just wow

• Fixed a bug where waypoints were available for a few seconds between repel events.

Can you clarify what this means exactly? Is this removing the “Spam waypoint in 5 seconds” stuff?

Yes, that’s exactly what that means.

Why such change? now if a group has to save a wp must run all the way back from another wp… this will just bring servers that uses to golem rush get an advanced since the group can’t waypoint inside and defend.

i would prefer have something like yakslapper a bit higher… like 5k yaks? or maybe 10k? i’m not a roamer but i have killed 3.5k dolyaks already… at least 5k or 10k would be a long but makeable achievement.

also is possible have another realm avenger achievement? many got ultimate dominator already and can’t count their kills anymore (myself i’m almost done… 232k/250k) or would be awesome have some stats counter like pvp after match in the wvw tabbel (kills, camps, towers etc)

i agree as well

february 2015 – almost september 2015 but this video is still pure truth.

anet if you can’t handle more than 100-120 people in combat lower that kitten map cap again NOW.

sfr QQing on official forum as well LOL! you’ve always said that you’re the king of wvw, that you win everything everytime but that has never been true ahah. Now that fsp and deso play your PPT game hard and better than you it’s a CRYCRY on every forum ahahahah it’s so ridicolous. It’s the time for good to lose rank 1.

Also if we will fail vizunah’s zombies are coming back for you.

1MB/s lovely! thanks for the update

thanks for ruining scouting work anet, again.

wvw became a karma train in eu again… 40-50 golems pvding everything and there isn’t even time to debuff the lord and place an ac that a blob is inside

Redenaz.8631:

I don’t WvW, so I have to ask: What’s it used for?

it’s used mostly for gvgs by everyone on the group to give less commander focus to the leader and try to cover him. also it’s used as encouragement “if you die you have to buy it again, so focus up and don’t die.”

but yeah a endless version would be nice

right know huge skill lag in elona garri 3way fight

some months ago there was a post about the new items to store into the materials collection and the a new wallet for the new valute. here’s the link

Wurm Map is now in OverFlow if i am now mistaken on recent build.
You can say goodbye to TS Organization, the real challenge will be put your own TS community on the same Mega Server as you, as we can’t anymore find low-pop maps to let everyone in.

as i said we can not do it anymore because also if we get in map 2 hours before will be too many people under lvl 80 and will fail for this

i’m on bloodtide coast right now for check how it’s going a random preparation for wurm… a lot of people don’t know what is wurm, other never did it before and the most of people have only failed it mulple times.
so from now no one will kill it because there are too many people unable to do it and not intentioned to join on ts

as a member of eve i really prefer have the hard boss every 2 hours
