Leader of [GASM] #ELEtism
(Retired) Commander [2500+ tPvP Matches Won]
This problem is reproducible, and it has to do with looking up the guild membership history list.
As a guild leader, you are probably looking frequently at the history list who joined and left your guild. If you open the list, there are normal entries and some with “…”. These are from ex-members who left some time ago. If you watch the list, every 10-20 seconds one of these “…” entries turn into text and show who joined or left. The delay seems to be connected to some name caching system: the names of the people still in your guild are cached, and their entries are shown immediately. The names of the people who left are not cached any more and have to be looked up, and only after the lookup the entry turns from “…” to text.
Now, while the system is internally still looking up these names, you are unable to change to the whisper chat. As soon as all pending “…” entries are looked up, your whisper chat actions are suddenly performed.
If you saw 2-4 “…” entries, the lookup takes 1-3 minutes. If you scroll through a few pages of the list, it takes many minutes. It doesn’t matter if you close the guild window – the lookup of the names is somewhat queued internally and performed anyway. You are able to whisper only after all name lookups completed.So the workaround is:
Don’t look at the guild membership history page. And if you must look, don’t scroll down. Look only look at the first page, then the delay with the whisper chat is only a minute or so.
That’s some great information thanks!
It’s such a shame that there is such a huge problem and that it hasn’t been fixed yet at all.
Two months later and same problem.
Can someone please look into this?
Hello there!
I’ve been having this problem for about 3 years now:
Whenever I attempt to whisper somebody it lags for a huge amount of time.
If I do /w to start the whisper- nothing happens and 5 minutes later the game focus changes to allow me to start typing the whisper (preventing me from moving in PvP).
This has really gotten in the middle of me leading my guild: I have had to make do for about 3 years but enough is enough. I have reset my game client, run the repair, deleted all my friends, and even deleted my local.dat.
Interestingly enough, I haven’t had this issue on any other accounts on this computer and I run into this issue on all of my other computers please.
I would very much appreciate getting guidance on this problem. Thanks
This is getting ridiculous.
For the past 3 years, ever since my account name was changed, I have not been able to whisper anyone properly. When I have been logged in for an extended period of time and I right click someone’s name and click whisper… nothing happens. 5-6 minutes later, the whisper becomes active and my controls freeze because the keys start typing into the chat bar. This is INCREDIBLY annoying! The same thing happens if I try to type /w name.
There are also times when I can’t see the names of people who have left my guild, I thought it might be another thing that stems from this problem.
This has been happening for THREE YEARS now. As a guild leader, this broken functionality has made it very difficult for me to do my job. I would appreciate it if I could get some sort of feedback on how or if this will ever be fixed.
I’ve killed VG around 20 times using my Healing Tank Tempest.
I use staff and I’m able to keep the melee group alive at all times using my water autoattack with 1k+ heals per autoattack along with my soothing mist which heals for around 600 (not counting any regen and burst heals that I can put out with overload water and wash the pain away).
I’m able to keep the ranged group alive by constantly dropping water 3 and 5 and blasting it with arcane wave. I use water 4 and blast it to give the ranged group frost aura for a substantial heal + regen ticks. I can also drop water 4 to control the seekers.
Being able to tank and heal at the same time allows our druid to focus on more DPS and more seeker control which is very useful.
I use a similar build for Gorseval. I change out my build with scepter/wh because that fight only requires situational healing so I can provide protection and might with my rotations.
Forget sprinkling your zerker gear with soldiers.
If you want a boost to survivability, get full zerker and slot them with Runes of the Earth. They will provide you with more than enough survivability.
Once you improve over time, replace those runes with Runes of the Scholar to maximize DPS.
What is your idea raid composition?
Which classes/builds/roles do you see being played?
The tooltip could use a rework. It shouldnt say"spread boons you have to allies", and then in the fine print say "well, actually only might and fury. Why not just say “spread might and fury to allies?”
This is mostly a change in how they word tooltips. All recent abilities that give multiple boons or conditions now say “give boons to allies” or “apply conditions to enemies” and then the tooltip specifies that it’s just might and fury or bleed and cripple.
The tooltip should say…
“Does nothing. Useless placeholder skill because devs were unprepared.”
Yes, agreed!

This is honestly pathetic.
Keep this thread updated:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Most-Tempest-Skills-Traits-do-NOT-work/first#post5654798
1. Heat Sync:
The skill does not work at all. It does not share any boons. I do believe it manages to give 3 stacks of might to the player, but that’s about it.
2. Wildfire
Many blast finishers do not combo with this fire field. Pheonix especially does not combo with this fire field.
These two skills were addressed in patch notes, but nothing was done about them!
3. Invigorating Torrents
Invigoration Torrents which grants Regeneration and Vigor on auras is not working with Cleansing Water’s cleanse on Regen.
These have been reported multiple times. Please fix them.
You don’t really see any eles in PvP nowadays just because none of their skills work. It’s so sad.
Update Notes:
Elementalist—
Heat Sync: Fixed the casting effects to properly appear horizontally.
Wildfire: Fixed the casting effects to properly appear horizontally.
I don’t understand how this is possible. They made changes to the skills, but didn’t notice that it wasn’t working?
Heat Sync is not sharing ANY boons, the skill literally doesn’t do anything.
Wildfire still doesn’t get blasted by Pheonix as a blast finisher.
Really? I just found it hilarious that they fixed a “bug” but didn’t really fix the bug.
idk what you did…
it still did not work
1. Tempest Fire Sync does not work at all.
2. Tempest Pheonix (blast) + Firefied does not work at all.
3. Tempest Regen gained from auras do not clear condies
They fixed this.
Pheonix is a blast finisher and Wildfire is a fire field…
Shouldn’t it provide might stacks?
It doesn’t.
Also, Heat Sync doesn’t work at all.
That is incredibly pathetic.
I hope that this is a bug.
I’ve been messing around with this…
and it doesn’t seem to work at all.
Any thoughts?
No.

I personally love the ideas of Guild Halls.
I’m the leader of a very active guild and I would love to see these implemented.
We are the most active PvP guilds in NA, please do not leave us out when you add Guild Halls to the game.
What I am saying is, when Guild Halls are added to the game, please implement the system in a way in which PvPers will not have to PvE to help create it.
“Maybe have a reward track to collect resources to contribute towards building the guild hall”.
The other day I saw this being passed between a few friends:
This is incredible! LoL stores all kinds of data and displays it in the web-browser to share with it’s players. This information is being shared on all kinds of social media websites: it’s acting as FREE PUBLICITY. Stats like this allow people to show off their achievements to their friends which pushes others to play harder as well. There is NO reason GW2 should not have a system like this in place if they want their game to go E-Sports. We are already told that the game tracks all kinds of statistics, all they need to do is make a web interface to display all of this data.
I can honestly say that GW2 PvP is a LOT more fun than LoL or any other kind of PvP I have played. It bothers me because I see so much wasted potential in this game. I am doing my very best to help promote the PvP community in this game, but when I see what little Anet has to offer when it comes to the competitive scene compared to these other companies, I am a little distraught.
If it is a lack of resources that Anet has, I can personally write whatever is needed to make an interface like this very easily if I am given the proper resources.
Marvin and Olrun are fantastic and active players who are very good at what they do. They will help you a huge way if you give them the time and the ear.
Something that Dustin didn’t mention which I think he should is the fact that he is the leader of [FPX] which is a growing PvP guild which has no requirements as is open to newer players.
As [GASM] is helping this guild grow in size and experience, it is important for the leader himself to become more experienced. This is because as I’ve seen in most guilds, the skill level of the guild leader is the limiting factor for the skill level of the rest of the members (exceptions excluded).
With the knowledge he gains from these mentors, I’m sure Dustin will help improve his own guild members and develop a core group of players. From here we can build a guild that is open to new players but also contains very experienced players to help these players improve and grow. Something like this is much needed for NA’s PvP community.
This group of people is very strong and cornerstone of the [GASM] team. I played with these guys myself and I am so unhappy that I had to let them go on without me. These guys are very strong and motivated; they had no one teach them and they (with me) had to learn the top techniques all by themselves. These guys are incredibly strong and I am sure they will go far.
They have the full support of the GASM guild and mentoring from multiple top players and teams. This team has a lot of resources ready to help make it one of the top teams.
These guys are a very strong group of individual and show great potential for growth. They are very strong individually and understand their own roles along with how to play with their team. They have the full support of the GASM guild and mentoring from multiple top players and teams.
This team has a lot of resources ready to help make it one of the top teams.

I’ve been reporting these kids on a regular basis and still nothing has been done about them.
Either improve Custom Arena Moderating tools, increase our ban list, or get rid of these toxic players.
These guys are the cornerstone behind GASM. Without them, you’d probably never hard of GASM.
Can confirm these guys are masters of their classes and rekt other top players. What’s more genuine is that these guys don’t rage or play the blame game, so I always enjoying pugging with them!
These guys are definitely a great group to try out for!
Screenshotted.
Brb kitten.
Major vouch for Song and the rest of BKB!
I play with them regularly and they NEVER disappoint!
I love the fact that these skills are NOT ground targetted.
They’re not meant to work as all of the other skills.
They’re meant as opportunity shots. The best thing about these skills is that you don’t need to be looking at the enemy to cast them.
Switching them to ground targeted skills would be a SERIOUS nerf to eles.
It doesn’t lower the skill cap because you need to set these skills up: if you don’t the skill just doesn’t work.
You forgot Freezing Gust btw
I stream as a Fresh Air Elementalist:
twitch.tv/gasm_gw2tv
I got Legendary Legionnaire when warriors had it worse. Legendary genius when engineers had it bad.
And, of course, now I play elementalist.
That way, if I lose is because they game is badly balanced, and if I win, it’s because I’m that good.
Always pick the underdog, anything else is being a coward.
I’ve only played ele because all of the other classes bore me :/
Fox only.
No Items.
Final Destination.
Go!
Do you take eles?
This needs a bump cause this is about me
Never imagined I’d have story so well written about me
I’m so impressed by your writing style
Lets have a rematch soon
Maybe this time I’ll use S/D
Lol’d at this.
Please don’t think that you’ve been banned from my PvP server because of some unnatural PvP skill that you may or may not have come to possess after making a deal with the devil.
The only reason I ban people from the arena is because I kick trash from the arena who ruin other people’s fights. I do NOT challenge people who I plan to ban to duels. I ban around 10 people from my arena almost every day, I really don’t care enough to talk trash to them.
The reason my PvP server is almost always full is that I kick trash from my arena regularly.
A few of you guys need to get your head out of the clouds
- Gasmic
It hurts so good!
There was a time when my account was banned for having the name “Gasmic”
I was forced to play Elementalist on another account
But it hurts so good!
So I guess they locked the first one because it kept getting bumped.
So is my dream coming true with the Megaservers update?
This is ridiculous.
15 Charrs.
Maybe cause its stupid that you have to load like 3 screens to do it?
You can directly join a custom arena from anywhere. You do not need to be in the Heart of the Mists anymore.
@Justin ODell
Justin, as owner of what probably is the most active PvP Server in North America,
[1 v 1] GASM’s PvP Arena let me just briefly go over my experience with moderating the 1v1 PvP environment in your custom Arenas.
My Arena is active maybe 18-19 hours of the day in which 4-5 hours it is left empty. Every day, I wake up to 4-5 mails begging me to kick troll X or troll Y from my server because they’re ruining everyone’s duels. Then troll X tells me and says that Troll Y started it. Then we have multiple people joining the server to just to ruin everyone else’s fun. Sure, I could ban all of these people… BUT THE BAN LIST GETS FULL AFTER 25 PEOPLE!
I have to ban 5-10 people almost everyday and unban those people at the top of the list. There is NO way I can keep the PvP arenas untrolled!
We’re trying to stick a circle through a square trying to have dueling in custom arenas. We’re doing our best to cope with this but you need to give us something to work with!
Furthermore there are many people who don’t duel because there is no progression to it. Add dueling and add a progression system, some kind of rating, rank points… whatever. Make it official and make it part of the game, not some discarded, unimportant part of the game that no one cares about.
I have a FULL server almost every day for almost the WHOLE day. People ask me to kick others out of the server so that they can get it… the desire for it is ridiculous, it should be a priority, not something on the back-burner! Make it special, make it right!
So any guy using a condi build, or people that balance their kitten using rabid amu, rampager amu, carrion amu need not apply ?
If you want to prevent tanky 4 layers regen bunk warriors, ban soldier amu. Forcing everyone to use zerk amu is kinda bullkitten tbh. What about those of us who actually play condi hybrid?
The zerk amulet requirement is so that we avoid fights that never end. Healing Signet is already ridiculous.
Whats going to happen to the last 15%?
It goes to the GASM guild to help maintain the PvP Server they have up and running.
Also changed date.
Might have to postpone by 1 week to ensure that we get enough participants.
