Guild Wars 2

so every map I try to load takes at least a minute to load and even then it takes time for the full map to render.

after using the “-maploadinfo” command i found out that the biggest wait is for modelsloaded, which is always at least 1000 and averages around 4000.
i’ve seen loading times of more the 120 seconds if there were 6000+ models
(this is on best performance, on auto detect it takes even longer)

why is this and what can I do to solve this? cause this is getting seriously annoying since this was not always the case

with friendly regards

bump, still an Issue, when will ANET fix this?

EDIT:
Descriptive Title (this also helps players search for and add to your thread)
-Server: Blackgate
-Map/location: the great hunt story instance
-Character info(level, race, profession): norn character level 1 revenant
-How to reproduce issue: just create a new character
+ A screenshot or video link find my ingame bug report for the screenshot of 2 closed doors…

this has been resolved somehow

I am trying to login to the client, but i get the message:
transaction in progress please wait a few minutes
build: 37900
error code: 34:4:5:1180

last thing I did was crash of lag in a dungeon
(and I have never had lag…)

to counter that you could also make the #4 skill a stealth detection spell for 600(?) range, this would then also be a good way to sweep keeps and towers for mesmers and thieves

ArmageddonAsh.6430:

Another could be to make people “Captains” and these people could be leading smaller groups and the Commander would be able to see where they are at all times while on the map.

this is not a bad idea actually, this way you can prevent more trolls, and captain ranks will be linked to the commander that gave them, it would also give the commander some form of control over who his captains are

i thought about that, but if you remove the revert button it loses its viability as an ambush asset, it would only be OP if used correctly, and since you can still be hit i dont see how it becomes OP with a revert button,
especially since you cant move while in stealth or in the air

(rant)
the NA gold winner was decided the moment the alliance between TC and JQ was made, as for determining 3rd place I have it from reasonably reliable sources to believe that even that has been rigged, SoS will be allowed to become 2nd making them 3rd over all.

but back on topic I am in favor of the discontinuation of any and all WvW tournaments as Anet doesn’t seem to understand that the glico rating (duno if that’s spelled right) says more about a server’s strength then a ppt, especially since you cant mess with the glico rating like you can with the ppt overall score as is happening now

Proposal Overview
a towns clothing potions for scouting/ambush purposes in WvW

Goal of Proposal
the idea behind this potion is to give smaller groups the ability to surprise and defeat larger groups without giving a definite advantage.

Proposal Functionality & Associated Risks
the setup would be:
the potion is like town clothing blocking all normal skills and utilities and that is cancelled when combat is entered (to prevent abuse)

skills would be:
1) a jump hover skill, that lifts you straight up, with no way to move in any direction (to prevent wall jumping), for scouting purposes, if cancelled in mid flight the player is dropped to the ground with reduced fall damage, leaving no mark to the surrounding (to prevent a repeat of the mesmer bomb) and with no way of being interfered with (io pull/push effects to throw the jumper over insurmountable objects)
2) a cloaking skill to cloak yourself in position, any movement would cancel this. (to prevent stealth in towers keeps or castles this should not be usable inside the walls),
3) not sure about this one but: a binocular skill to be able to zoom in on a battlefield area in a line of sight
4) a panic port button, that ports you to home spawn on the map you are on if you are out of combat (citadel for home BL, and borderland waypoint for the others)
5) revert option

this potion would make it easy to ambush larger groups, and will make strategic movement a more crucial then large groups, this would also reduce the value in moving around as a large group

Proposal Overview
I suggest a 2 stage commander tag,

Goal of Proposal
my suggestion is simple, I’ve noticed that commanders are heavily dependant on vocal or written information about squad locations.
this proposal is in order to promote breaking off from the zerg without the commander losing sight of his people
doing so will give commanders to command over bigger distances and makes a wider range of strategies easily accessible.

Proposal Functionality
were the first tier is like 10G and the second tier is 90G, this way 1 person in each party can get a captain/lieutenant tag.
as for the icon, this could be anything, but my suggestion is making it the lower V that is already in the current commander icon to show that being a commander puts you above the captains

Associated Risks
to prevent the crowding in open world I also suggest making such a captain tag only available in WvW.

to prevent interference with the current system the captain tag should not be able to have people join his squad, this will prevent people from being satisfied with a captain tag, while still making it a useful purchase if you plan to be a part of a bigger command.

Edited to be CDI conformish

yes please.
this would probably be easiest to implement simply by adding a tag box with usable by character
