Guild Wars 2

Epidemic: Fixed a bug that caused conditions to not transfer on the fifth missile. The missiles fired from this ability will now pierce targets already struck by the skill. Removed the new functionality that caused condition durations to affect newly transferred conditions.

FA, JQ, Mag, SBI and dunno about the current state of BG… the main issue is that this servers are often lock in to bad MUs with servers that cant match the numbers so you cant have any fair fights and MUs turn very boring for everyone. JQ and FA are in same MU tho and seem to be lock in T1 so you can try JQ/FA.

What fights? Blob fights? Roster Vs Roster fights? Or “solo roaming with friends” fights?

No links for BG, Mag or JQ… so they got something right this time.

Wait for GW2 to go 50% Off like everyone else.

Or transfer to an open server with your “partner”?

Make it the ultimate tournament – when stomped, you can’t play wvw anymore. Last man standing wins a cookie (and has to turn out the lights as the game mode will come to an end).

Delete WvW and all the WvW servers at the end of the tournament and have the winning server be the new PvE Multiserver. Lets go out with a big BOOM

PS: Lets see if BG is as ded as they claim, I transfer to Mag for this

The only thing tournaments are good for is to kill servers and burnout regular (non-casual-here-for-the-tickets) WvW players.

Bad Idea.

Also, still waiting on https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Triumphant_Hero's_armor

Sad…

Please, the one Dev working partial time on WvW already has more work that what he can do… don’t ask for things that we all know that will not end well. Ty.

It be nice to have the choice to buy some ascended gear with WvW currency that is not even worth anything anymore.

Good Info Ty OP!

I been waiting for some of the pieces of this armor set for quite some time now…. what are we waiting for?

If it’s supposed to be part of some Ascended Armor collection via WvW that be great… I’m all in for a way to get ascended and legendary armor via WvW but feels like it’s taking so long.

BTW, the ping number we show in the client on the options screen is probably different than you see in other games. We should name it something different. Traditionally the ping time is the time it takes for a packet to get to a server and back. In our case, it is the time to get to the server, get processed by the game map you are in, and then sent back. So our misnamed “ping” is much more variable than most ping numbers because it includes game processing time.

reason you see different numbers from a dev above.

Yes I know and understand this, but not this http://imgur.com/SH5XByO

I think I did not explain myself all that well so I am going to try again.

At 11:00 AM my TZ GMT+1 I have 200 ms (+/-) ping with all the processing time, no lag spikes and can play WvW with no problems.

Hours go by and the ‘in game’ ping gets higher to the point that I can not play the game in the NA servers.

I been calling my ISP and the only thing they tell me is that it is all Ok. I will call again now and explain I have done this test and see what they tell me. Will let you know what they tell me is case someone is interested ^^

Edit:
I just finish a call to my ISP and they tell me the same again, it is all good on his part.

Even when I try to tell them the IPs where I lose the data they tell me they can not look at it and that it depends on the number of players playing the game.

Any ideas on what to do next? change ISP is the only option left?

Edit2:
I’m not sure if this post should be moved to any other part of the forums… posted it here on the first place because all I do on my NA account is play WvW.

Run the diag client for a traceroute.

Hello everyone!

So now that I have some more free time I been trying to fix my bad latency with the NA servers.

I own 2 GW2 accounts one on NA servers and another on EU servers. Living in Spain, my latency sux, I mean, it is kitten really bad. Only to EU servers already have 90 to 110 ms latency… EU servers 98 ms is what i have all day at any time of the day and while it can go a little bit up and down it stays with in the 90-110 range.

The NA servers is been really frustrating for few months now so I decided to look in to it and compare the latency that I have with the ping tests with the latency I have in game while playing WvW.

For the ping test I been using Dallas, TX Ookla Host on http://www.pingtest.net/ and you can see one of them here http://www.pingtest.net/result/128756179.png

So here the numbers:

-11/08/2015-

11:30 AM ping test 183ms vs. 218ms in game.

5 PM ping test 181ms vs. 320 in game with already 500ms lag spikes.

21:39 PM ping test 189ms vs 426 in game with not so rare 10000ms lag spikes.

-12/08/2015-

0:33 AM ping test is 180ms vs 440ms in game and at this point the ping can really just go from 400’s to 500’s and 600’s with crazy 2000’s at any time and if i get close to any zerg/blob fight my skills just stop working and I’m teleporting all over the place.

13:50 PM ping test 188ms vs 220ms in game with no lag spikes, can get in to the OCX zerg fight no problem at all.

18:41 PM ping test 186ms vs 309ms in game and the lag nightmare starts again.

I am not expert, but I can only think that the more players that play NA servers the worse my latency is… and I am now afraid that with HoT it is going to get even worse.

For clarification My TZ is GMT+1 and ‘in game’ ping numbers are from WvW maps.

You guys EU or NA?

I recommend T3 servers, or T4.

SOS – This server is royally screwed up. There is no server community and the commanders don’t even use c-comms anymore. Forget about simoultaneously coordinating and hitting targets on different maps etc. Not even remotely close. There are a lot of good roaming and small WvW guilds who fight most excellent but they are small potatoes and cant get anything done vs the blobs. there are only 2 good size WvW guilds, the good one does not run raids every day and even when they do run, its very short duration, like half of what regular raids do, even on resets. The other big guild has a commander that is literally kittened in the head. A kitten bag of immense proportions, while there are a lot of nice people in that guild, there are also some sycophant “yes men” that make the overall atmosphere and game unplayable while runnign with those guys. on top of that, the GVG guilds hog up space in SOS BL during prime so that BL can not be defended, they basically just sit there in empty space kittenin it and saluting at the sky. They are so incredibly useless they should be jsut removed from WvW.

Wow. What a description of the SoS server.

On a server where 75% of your NA guild are GvG guilds, is only normal to not have them using CComs. The interest of a GvG guild by nature is not focused on coordination with any other guilds in map or to work for the week score of the server. They only want open field and GvG fights.

ALL GvG guilds from T2 have moved to T3. SoS has now the chance to improve his NA coordination and use of CComs. To say that ‘This server is royally screwed up’ sounds a bit too hard for me knowing all the people trying to make of SoS a better server for everyone who is or is thinking on moving in to SoS.

I don’t know the WvW server community on FA, YB or any other server in NA. If they are better or worse, you seem to have all the answers on that… One thing I am sure, there is always good people worth knowing on any server.

Gudradain.3892:

Just a note that many guilds are currently leaving SoS. Frankly, it’s a poor time to transfer there as that server is highly unstable, are getting stomped by an overstacked YB and you will pay 1800 gems to transfer as they are ranked very high.

There are some good medium/high server to transfer to if you want. Check out this thread :

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/wuv/What-Server-Should-I-Transfer-To-1/first#post5332022

The only thing that SoS has lost this last week is the same thing that FA and YB have lost. GvG guilds moved ALL (from SoS, FA and YB) to T3 servers.

Oh I still have my Main account in EU server, but on my NA account I just cant play WvW… and I spent 18000 gems for a lag fest.

I want to leave my alt account in that NA server for the WvW but for now I guess I won’t be playing much if this stays this way.

So, if anyone have a solution for this and can confirm with the use of a VPN I can fix this or there is another things I should be looking at to improve performance on my EU account, I’d really appreciate the help.

If it is only because this bug you speak off… then I can’t do nothing but wait for a fix from Anet…

Thanks!

Hello all,

I like to play Fractals and WvW, usually during late EU to early NA on the weekends and some late EU some week days.

Few days ago moved my main account out off NA servers to EU. The latency/lag and the numbers I was getting on the Av. Ping where starting to get too big and for the last few months it’s been not even fun to play from EU in NA servers. Is been really bad tbh.

Today I moved my EU(alt account) to the NA servers (SoS). The lag I had today for the 5 min I was in WvW it’s been even worse… 3000+ ping and an av. ping of 1000+.

Is this only me? Is there other EU players with an alt account in NA or main accounts in NA at the moment having such a bad time like I am? You guys use any VPN service tat can fix this?

This is my idea for Bloodlust:

-Server in first place can not have the bloodlust buff.
-Server in 2nd place can only have 1 stack of bloodlust buff.
-Server in 3rd place can have up to 3 stacks of bloodlust buff.

When server in second place is within the range of points with the server in first place, this second server will lose the bloodlust buff.

Server in 3rd place will have 2 stacks of bloodlust as long as server in 2nd place is out of the range of points with the server in first place.

If server in 2nd place is within the range of points with the server in 1st place, then, server in 3rd place can have up to 3 stacks of bloodlust.
Once this last server gets within the range of points with the 1st and 2nd servers, server in 3rd place will lose all bloodlust buff.

If server in 2nd place and 3rd place are within the same range of points but not in range with the 1st place server, this 2 last servers can have up to 2 stacks of bloodlust each.

Edit: Added last variation.
