Guild Wars 2

Same thing happened to me, on two of my different hotmail emails, activity from China, and I have rather safe passwords. They resetted/allowed access to my gw2 account and cleared everything from it. Waiting for something to happen now..

(good luck with the china release and 100x more hacked accounts ;o )

Oh, and I hope you can use some of the sieges I dropped in EB near your spawn!

Lizerunn, and do you have any proof to your claim? Screenshots, names, guilds, youtube vid, anything? SFR doesnt support any kind of hacking or glitching, and those people will be shunned upon and reported as they should be. But alas, I havent seen any hacking or action like you described, and I was running around your keep pretty much all the time during that attack. And golems do have a timer, you sure they just didnt despawn? But anyways, provide screenshots or whatever directly to me via message and to anet so we can get rid of possible hackers.
(honest opinion though, you just jelly because we capped your keep, and start blaming hackers)

I’m having the same exact error messages in WvW aswell, I never had any crashes before this latest big update. Obviously it has something to do with the character models, maybe linked to graphics card? Would appreciate somesort of official answer regarding this subject. Especially when playing on tier 1 server, queueing for 1h-2h then play for an hour or so, crash, and requeue.. Really takes the enjoyment out of it.

^ You are forgetting that elementalist is a free kill, no matter who’s playing it. Elementalists rely on the same bs tactics as thieves to do to get kills: burst damage/surprise attacks.

^ Simply put, no.

Well, Desolation will be doing some “nightcapping” from now on, seems like RUIN migrated to your server, lucky kittens you.

Since this topic seems to be popping out from time to time, I kinda want to add this to the annoyance of the people and do some shameless advertising about portals and their viable tactics, please note that all this was done before the rendering issues really became a trouble, and also note that even if they would’ve been the problem, not in these situations because most of the time the enemy knew where this specific group was coming from or going to.

You can be a lamer with the portals, but it is a very viable tactic to use for fun and against overwhelming odds if you know what you are doing (atleast if the rendering gets fixed ever again).

Also, if you break this skill, you will make a lot of people very very very unhappy. I guess that’s my 2 cents.

@Brunners.7251 You have actually, and as far as I know, from these 3 servers yours is the one with some video footage, a member/leader/something from IRON actually posted it to this same topic. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/Kodash-Seafarers-rest-Desolation-pvp/page/3#post387700

Are you attacking at the very max range? If you are as far as you can be when trying to hit the mob/boss it’s same the problem with every ranged weapon, to fix that you just need to move a step or two closer and the auto-attack should start working again. I’ve noticed this in TA end-bosses quite often. x.x

Brunners.7251:

The first few days you did beat us in prime time (hence the massive disparity in points in the first couple of screenies) for the last few days however, from what I’ve seen points have been changing hands pretty rapidly during prime time.

I kinda want to say my opinion about this sentence. At the moment it’s pretty useless to try to argue about who scored what and when, I dont know what the situation on Desolation or Kodash is now, but we in SFR dont really have all that many WvW players active now because of the invisibility bug, these past few days we havent had almost any queue, yesterday, primetime, queue to eternal battlegrounds was about… 10 minutes? Usually it’s like 1-3 hours.

And yeah, our server is medium pop but we sometimes get insane queue-times. Like someone mentioned earlier, your server (Desolation) has had zerg mentality for some time now so I’m not sure if they even notice the invisibility, just that there are less opponents now and they can capture easy points, but in our server with more organized groups and guilds there’s been a lot of talk about taking a break till they fix this bug or whatever you want to call it.

I do give kudos to Desolation though, for getting your groups up and running and providing some “challenge” against our outmanned borderlands and eternal battlegrounds. I really do hope that we will meet again after WvW is fixed to be more enjoyable and our server actually starts playing again. I can only guess but I’m pretty sure every other server is having similar issues with the core-players taking a break. I think thats enough yadayada for now. Well almost, I do have to say that after the weekend you only started to gain more points mostly during the night when you hogged everything on every map, I even saw you go up to +500 points at times, but that situation quite fast turned around during the daytime when our players started logging in.

(edit: I also want to give credit to all the Kodash/Desolation victims of the EB puzzle, thank you for donating me your badges, and I hope that you enjoyed my badges too, I had really awesome fights there and tried to do fair fights, 1vs1, 1vs2-3, but sometimes it was impossible because outsiders would jump in eventhough told not to interfere :< )

Like I mentioned, you CAN keep moving while in a combat, I saw one guy jumping backwards through the puzzle while he was under a constant arrowcart fire for whatever reason and go through, someone else used the engineer rocket thingies. And yes, rangers atleast CAN aoe the arrowcarts on the dome and destroy it. Just having arrowcarts or catapults up there are not enough to kill people usually, or if they are, the people were probably glass cannons anyways.

You CAN aoe the siege that’s placed on top of the dome in the beast room, you CAN still make the jumps even if you are in combat, people have managed to do that while I was watching from above. Some people actually managed to be in stealth for the whole way past that section and become visible when they reached the upper platform (even before this rendering issue). Also greetings from SFR. If you find that specific part of the puzzle camped, come back in another 6 hours and try your luck again. Like someone mentioned, if you keep providing us a constant stream of entertainment, it’s not like people want to move away from that spot.

On a sadder note, a member from a Kodash guild called SRSS or RSRR or something like that got kittened about the situation obviously, saw him no-clipping through the ground and attacking us before this latest patch. Sadly I was too baffled to take a screenshot of him, but he was a guardian with dungeon master title (just incase anyone from that guild happens to read this post.)

And did you also shoot with the sieges from time to time to prevent them from despawning? Too long inactivity = vanish.

You should browse the forums, there’s already constant talk about the current situation in zyx- amount of other posts.

Seems like most of the german people went to bed and are just being a bad sport, on the brighter side, Desolation seems to be doing some pvgates in the borderlands while SFR holds pretty much all the EB except Desolation keep.

Screenshot was taken at 5am gmt+2

@Sib.1236 True, there are already enough posts about this situation, and there are some actual screenshots in the original match-up post and these current ones should be enough to gain the attention of arenanet. All we can really do now is to hope that they come up with a solution to fix the problem(s). Definately one of the major ones is the latest patch and how it kittened up the rendering of players.

@Attila the Hun.8569 I have no idea what you are talking about or how it is related to my post, you need to be a bit more specific. At the moment you guys are giving us a good fight on SFR borderlands, despite the invisible enemies and quite many of allies aswell. I was talking about earlier today.

Well, the first time that the Dawns eyrie whatever tower was captured, it had belonged to us for pretty much the whole day, and when it was captured, all the walls and the gate was pretty much at full health, and then the certain individuals from Desolation magically took the tower from SFR

If you have the dps and organization, you can flank the attacking the team from the side or behind or use a portal behind them or in the middle of them like my guild does. We constantly break down enemy sieges or zergs using portals to their fullest potentional, and I’m not saying we abuse the culling problem, because we can definately see the enemies, and they can see us, but most of the people are still unaware how good portals are in skilled hands and they are unprepared for the huge burst we can do with the mesmer speed elite buff. We also have decidated healers and pure glass cannons for the initial burst. A group of 10 people can take down 30+ enemies rather easily if they dont expect it.

.. But if there are randoms defending against a siege, you probably just need to utilize the use of defensive siege weapons, ballistae, arrowcarts etc.

Only reason why Desolace got higher up in the rankings is because of the 24h matchups and the earlygame zergs which scored them some points, and now with the 2 week matches they get pinned against people with actual organization.

And SFR is far from average, our only weakness is the night-time because as far as I know, we dont have a single nightguild defending the towers and keeps we gain during the prime-time.

We have several very, very good pvp guilds and commanders, and the reason why we started quite low because our alliance didnt kick before the 1 week match-ups started, now we are fully running and getting up the ladder quite steadily. I do give credit to Kodash for the last couple days, you guys have been doing great job defending your keeps against us, and we’ve had pretty awesome fights in SFR and Desolace borderlands during prime-times, it’s nice to see all 3 servers inside one keep trying to get a control of it. I really do like this matchup, too bad Desolation is lacking in either manpower or competent leaders. Keep up the good fight and good luck to everyone.

My concern, like quite many others, are those teleporting orb stealers and no-clippers, I saw one in EB puzzle last night too. Just hoping arenanet gets on that issue fast, since there are screenshots and lots of reports from people seeing certain inviduals on Kodash exploiting and hacking.

But anyways, keep up the good fight. You guys are giving us a nice challenge and very intense fights at the moment, and the week is just starting.
