Guild Wars 2

Yes an Anet dev did attend our gvg vs Dius. He was watching the gvg from the side though ^^. Why didnt they atleast let him play 1 round ?

Big Thanks to Dius for this GvG.

Hello fellow WvW players,

I’m an activ wvw player and raiding atleast 4 times a week and want to discuss the cause of this lag some guilds and I are experiencing.

The last update introduced some new kind of boon sharing which prefers your teammates. So this means the Engine/Game needs to look for the position of you and your teammates and the randoms around you who could be in range for the boon you want to provide. (lets take a guard here using his stability shout).

Personally I think this has some huge impact on the overall WvW lag increase. It`s not the achievement point farmer who are causing the lag increase by sharing relics in the center of the map (which would be stupid to think so XD) its the amount of boons which are shared among 50+ players in zerg vs zerg fights that forces players to mindlessly spam 1 and hope that there healling skill will be casted in the next 20 sec
and the other zerg outnumbered in melee classes and based more on casters who needs their skills to prolly help their teammates survive.

I personally received skillags only in realy big fights before the update. Now they are occuring even in a little/medium skirmish

So guys this is a starter for a discussion thread here and i dont want it to be rage filled with hate against Arenanet. I personally hope that a thread filled with constructive answers will help Arenanet to find the major cause of skill lag and make them less anoying or occuring.
