Hi All,

I played GW2 on release and left because of the lag shortly after reaching 80. I am back and really really want to enjoy this game, however still getting horrible ping.

I am from the UK, currently on Underworld server (i don’t mind changing because all my friends disappeared), but even though its an EU server, resource monitor tells me I’m getting around 200 ping at the best of times. This is over 300 ping in the PvP areas.

I play lots of other games and generally have 28-35 ping on EU servers, thus it shouldn’t be my connection unless its specifically slowing GW2 somehow.

If someone could post/link a list of potential tests and fixes that would be awesome.

Thanks

BLTP "sorry"

So im trying to buy something from BLTPI want 5 so I type 5, press buy and the Sorry msg comes up (even though i refresh and everything is the same apart from there is now less of the item i want)

I check pickup and there is nothing there… try it again about 3 more times, still “sorry” and nothing in pickup… so i buy them 1 by 1, and it works… go to pickup and have 4 stacks of 5 in the pickup and 5 single ones….

Getting bored of this kinda stuff in the game. I remember now why i stopped playing after hitting 80

Frame Limiter - Strange AMD issue (resolved)

I always noticed that my computer just happens to run the game at a steady 60 fps when staring at the floor (sometimes 62)

When limiting the framerate to 60 it will be a steady 46 rather than 60. When limiting to 30 it will stay at a steady 26.

However when moving the camera the framerate on the lower sattings will always drop lower if the limiter is on a lower setting… (eg. unrestricted I get 52fps, Capped at 30 I get 19 fps)

Resolved:
So i was playing around on catalyst control centre and noticed that it automatically detects your monitor, however it didnt detect the correct settings for my monitor.. said i had 1920 × 1080 and 75Hz. When mine is actually 1366×768 and 60Hz.

Didnt think it would change anything as the settings are always 1366×768 and on gw2 i know i set it to 1366×768 and 60Hz… However after changing catalyst control centre’s auto detect and putting my res and Hz in manually, I noticed the framerate limiter is now working as intended.

Warrior > Thief?

I find Triple Axe warriors to be a lot more deadly. Whirling Axes doesn’t hit QUITE as hard, but it can be used on the move. And the use of an Axe+Shield in the offhand still gives you good burst with Eviscerate and a CC + block.

Honestly, I don’t know what all the QQ is about. Sure 100b hits hard, but it’s easy to avoid. You can see the burst coming from a mile away. It’s either Bull’s Rush or Bolas.

Problem is you cant see it coming a mile away when they press haste and there is slight lag with ping and input lag. And you cant get away even with stun breaker again because of input lag and the slight time it takes to move.

The problem sooo much damage in such a short space of time, this game was supposed to be all about reacting and using skills at the right time. When there is this much burst it completely negates the whole idea of reactionary playstyle.

thus everyone and their mum builds for high burst damage

Thief is balanced, warriors 1 shot insta death is not. Thief cannot 1 v 1 a warrior that uses haste, stun then 1000 blades. Because you will always be dead or will die an another 2 hits from the 1 skill. Also its so fast that you cant even stunbreak your way out in time.

+1 to Svarty… its obviously because Jon Peters plays warrior that its op

Thief Builds and Combo Fields

I always think about combo fields… Its one of the most important parts of playing the thief as you have ALL OF THE FINISHERS AND CAN USE THEM WHENEVER YOU WANT

Also you missed the darkness field from off hand pistol.
And you chose the 2 weapon sets that have the least combos.

Smoke field (offhand pistol) + leap (dagger main) = stealth. Combined with whirl (elite skill or dagger/dagger) or projectile = blind. Combined with explosion (shortbow) = AoE stealth.

Poison Field (shortbow) + Leap or explosion = weakness. Combined with whirl or projectile = poison.

Shadow refuge gives dark field, with whirl or projectile = lifesteal (very good to use as an extra heal with elite skill) or for leap and blast you get blind/AoE blind

They are all things you can combo without help

Stop making mobs invulnerable

Monkeyboy.2869

So annoying. Invulnerable champions, invulnerable normal mobs. Invulnerable everything… seriously bored of it now, thought you said we were supposed to be able to kill things even they couldn’t reach us. Because you lied, and because of a bug related to that, i cant play 30 min without finding an invunerable mob

And im not talking about the ones with the symbol on them, although those are annoying too as there is a champion creep on the Underworld server that is invulnerable near one of the waypoints in a lvl 80 area (been there for 24 hours now at least). Also found an invulnerable champion around the Ascalon area before. There are others but they don’t stand out in my mind as its so common.

Warning rant below


Seriously annoyed at how much you hyped up a game that is clearly not finished, has this many bugs, and obvious balance issues. Here is a list of what i come across each time i play.

Events sticking, story quests not working, events not scaling correctly, sometimes finishing events and they dont give anything at the end, falling face down off a cliff and then floating around on the floor, sounds not working properly, performance issues (all graphics on high or all on low make no difference to my 7 fps in WvW), unable to right click and join to go to a sever with a party member in it. lvl 76 loot in a lvl 35 area or lvl 35 loot from normal mobs? Being killed in 1 second by a warrior that pops haste, stuns and does 17k dps so you have 0% chance to 1 v 1, not to mention ridiculous survivability compared to other professions….then there is some more serious bugs like story skipping etc. that other people have been having problems with…

It is intended, it does the same damage to every target regardless of armor values

This game is way too silent.

I agree sooo much with this. Half of it is due to a bug which randomly makes lots of the sounds not work. But there is a huge lack of sound as you walk around, never noticed in other games but for some reason you can really tell here.

As i walk around irl, even if its in the middle of a field irl, you hear more sounds than this. You hear the birds, you hear the grass moving under your feet etc.. what you get on gw2 is a strange ambient sound which is kind of fitting but seems to miss out a lot

Serious thief bug still not fixed from beta

When using a dagger, trying to hit a moving target is near impossible, heartseekers always misses and the 1 skill always misses. Worst of all melee assistance pushes you back further away from the mob so it never lets you hit.

Please tell me there is a fix coming for this. Heartseekers seems to miss even if i land on their eyeballs

Perma banned... What did I do wrong?

Posted by: Monkeyboy.2869

Monkeyboy.2869

Before anything else i want to say i havent been banned.

Perma ban annoys me… and did someone say they ran a DE multiple times? is DE dynamic event and can we not do that because that would be silly as they are so obviously repeating in our game… Also i accidentally types something in chat 3 times, didnt think it was working but apparently i was on my guild chat tab and didnt realise =s.. but are these things banable offenses because if they are its a joke.

Besides, I dont think they have the right to ban anyone until the game is fixed anyway. I constantly see dynamic events stuck because the npc wont move or is invulnerable for a ridiculous amount of time. The shop doesnt work, the story didnt work… still getting ridiculous lag in WvW. Lets be honest they released an incomplete game.
