Guild Wars 2

Thanks so much Purple Miku! I really appreciate the response!

So I did pingplotter in hopes of finding out where my lag spikes are coming from.. but I’m afraid I don’t understand pingplotter.

Is anyone able to interpret for me? (I’m looking over their manual for it right now but ending up confused, apologies.)

I’ve been experiencing the same, I’m really unsure of how to go about it. There’s another thread already up regarding the issue though, if you haven’t seen it already. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/support/Absolutely-Insane-Lag-Spikes/first#post5517510

I’m going ot have to agree with Delzim here, I’m beginning to think since the game went f2p that maybe their servers are incapable of handling the flood of new players, so it’s disconnecting people. As I’ve called my provider, nothing’s changed on my end, I’ve run every check that support wants me to do and I still D/C, now more than ever. So I can see why technically nothing is wrong on their end or ours, but the servers are just not big enough. (My only educated guess at this point.)

It’s frustrating and I really want to play this game, but at this point I don’t really know what to do other than wait. (Which sucks because I just put forth 100 bucks for the HoT and I can’t even log in now, fantastic.)

Hopefully, everyone is sending in tickets so they can see this is not just a few selected instances, since posting on forums doesn’t garner the attention to fix, as much as an influx of support tickets would.

I contacted my internet provider(as they said in their response to my support ticket, because they claimed it’s on my end) and they said everything fine and nothing has changed within the last couple days to cause me to disconnect as I am. (It started yesterday 9/21 for me)

I can barely log in now, and if I do manage to log in, I can walk maybe a couple feet. Or maybe do about one spell(not going anywhere) before I disconnect again.

My other games work just fine, I spoke with my internet provider. It’s not on my(our?) end.

So yesterday the game was working just fine for me all day, but today I can barely log in for about a minute before my game completely lags out until I disconnect. I tried logging onto my elementalist at first, kept dying due to the horrible lag that kicked in after a minute, then moved to my ranger in hopes that maybe having a pet may keep me alive if I lag. While she’s in a safer area, I run into the same issue – I lag horribly after about a minute until my game completely disconnects.

I know it’s not my internet or anything of the sort as that’s been working fine, however GW2 has been unplayable for me all day.

I’m definitely interested in it, hopefully you’ll be able to get something going because I’d love to join.

Unfortunately I had to take leave for a bit and the guild I had joined no longer seems there, so I’m back on the hunt.

There was one guild who messaged me awhile back, they had a very unique recruitment system that included something similar to a mentor for the first month of new recruitment. The name fails me, but if they could message me again I would greatly appreciate it!

Server: Sanctum of Rall
Time Zone: -7 GMT or MST
Playstyle: Generally I like to run dungeons and fractals, although I’m still learning with both. I’m a casual PvPer and don’t mind teaming up with people in WvW.

Hi~ ya’ll can call me Niomi, I have a level 80 mesmer and a 53 Ele. I prefer to play as my mesmer though but slowly and surely am leveling up other alts. As of now my Mesmer has both armorsmith and chef maxed out and I’m moving forward to get my legendaries. I love to run dungeons and fractals with guilds and I don’t mind using teamspeak or anything like that.

I’m really into dungeons(as if I haven’t said it enough) and stuff and don’t mind hopping in last minute or if everyone’s busy just helping other people in the guild.

I hope to find a good guild to learn from/with, thanks for reading~

Small casual guild looking to expand and grow:

• Dungeons
• Fractals
• PvP & WvW
• Quests
• Anything needed

Illusion of Apathy[IOA] is a relatively small guild in Sanctum of Rall looking to expand its members! We’re a PvX orientated guild, dabbing in a little bit of everything, and hoping to eventually start scheduling PvP, WvW, dungeon, and fractal events together.

We’re looking for members who are relatively active in their character and with leveling them, we’re open to help with stories and any questing.

We’re currently looking for people who:

• Don’t mind a small guild to help make it grow
• Willing to do dungeons
• Dungeon explorer modes to help get legendaries
• Fractals
• WvW
• PvP

WvW and PvP are entirely optional though, we’re aware not everyone likes the massive amount of people and lag it can generate!

If you’re interested in joining, feel free to sign up at our guild website, or message Trikie.2946 or Niomi.5170 for invite or questions!

Dark Saviour.9410:

I’ve got a lot of grievances with the Personal Story (and with some of the world-building aspects in general), but I’ve got to say, aside from continuity problems and the disjointed nature of chapters in general, one thing I think is a major issue is that everything ends up exactly the same for everyone.

When the orders were first announced, I loved the idea that, as stated, they each had a different approach to fighting the dragons (“Vigil smash”, OoW wanting to put them back to sleep, the Priory searching for historical references and relics, etc.), and I feel that if this was embraced ’til the end, we could have alleviated a lot of the problems we had here.

Allow Trahearne to be Marshall, but instead of just leaving us as a generic ‘Commander of the Pact’ regardless of our prior choices, give us a partner based on our order, and have our path to take down Zhaitan be dependent on that. Have Trahearne just give us general authority as needed, but otherwise take a back seat. The story could then have 3 (or more, depending on the degree you’d like to implement prior choices into this) distinct endings that all have the same result; Zhaitan is dead. Or if you really must have everything converge into the same “plan” in the end, then it could be that all 3 orders enact their plans in parallel, so you only see a part of what it takes to ultimately bring him down.

Basically though, Trahearne could have still had his story and been the “Leader of the Pact”¹ without being ever-present in yours. Kahedins didn’t do much at all in the first part of my story, and Steward Gixx didn’t steal the show in the second part either, so had Trahearne been left as the general “glue” binding the final paths together while not consistently being thrown in our faces, I’d imagine he would be considered much less of a burden and would be far better-received.

¹ vroom, vroom, vroom!)

Personally I would love to see this, a partner dependent on our choices and eventually we defeat Zhaitan with how our orders were planning to. While maybe OoW members get the leader of said order, instead of a new partner/mentor. 'Cause replacing Tybalt would sting. Putting him to sleep, killing him, whatever. I’m kinda neutral for Trahearne as a character, but thrusting him into our story with no prior meeting, friendship formed, or anything threw me off balance. I would even like it more if he originally was going to be YOUR second hand, but instead you stepped down to fight on the front lines, leaving him with the politics of getting people together and strategizing effective ways to move. While you’re on the front lines trying to help people and keep them alive, either way – anything is better then giving him the spotlight so suddenly.
