Already did. Still have motion sickness.

…snipped….

I like the mounts, but it is causing me motion sickness every time my character mounted when trying to turn, the screen moves too fast and when the mount stopped, it caused something that caused the dizziness.
But you clearly are downplaying an issue and still downplaying it now. You only want it as is because you are not affected by it. But many are affected by it. Some people here clearly have slight motion sickness, they just aren’t affected much by it. however, if this issue is not fix, it could affect them too in the long run. Sliders and options are only good if people knows where to find them or even know there is a problem with it.

Let’s say a new player comes in playing PoF….. he/she doesn’t know about this motion sickness thing. They played for 5 minutes and gets a case of motion sickness. They stop playing take a rest and come back again. Played another 5 minutes, gets another case of motion sickness…….
what do you think their impression of the game will be?
Are you going to blame them for not looking at the options first before playing?
So yeah, having sliders and options is not the best solution. It is a solution, but not the best. There has to be a solution where people don’t need to go through the forums and wiki’s to find out that there is an option to make mounts less motion sickness……..
Tell me how does that work in the long run of things?
Everytime a new player with motion sickness due to mounts gives feedback at the forum, you and the other 1001 forumers who thinks ANET can do no wrong will tell them “Check the options, there is a sliders/option there to make it less motion sickness.”
You tell me.

Sry but I haven’t checked your posts,have you tried fixing it by changing stuff around ,sliders etc?

LolinaOtone.4196:

It would be really sad to see this organic and realistic expirience gone, because of a few People with motion sickness. That said, there should be an option for the ones with MS, so they can enjoy the game too. For me even imagening the raptor moving like it does and then coming to an instant stop just makes me a bit nauseous. That wouldn’t be the solution. There should be sliders or options for those affacted, but please don’t break the mounts. It truly felt wonderful.

FEW PEOPLE?
People are giving feedback about it left and right, and you are saying “FEW”?

It’s a big issue. Even some say they are feeling slight dizzy but no motion sickness.

Are you trying to downplay it? The whole point of this preview weekend it to let people try it out and also see what other bugs and problems before the actual launch.

I have a problem with “motion sickness” when using mount.

the issue is that when I try to turn, the whole screen try to turn too much. Doesn’t happen when unmount.

I saw someone say in a comment above that using the mouse to move is much better.
I disagree. Tried that and it is worst.

Gliding is still much better…..

How much are you willing to bet the Weaver will be nerf after the preview event.

And how long will it takes to get more nerfs after launch?

My bet is 10 hours after launch of PoF.

I don’t think ANET wants to lose their market in China by kittening off China.

Guild Wars 2 : Flashpoint

Just a flesh wound.3589:

[Looks into Crystal Ball] I see…. more Black Lion weapon skins!

Maybe Legendary Black Lion skins???

Does it cost 200000 Gems?

ANET,

you do realised that DC Comics has a comic book named “Flashpoint” right?

Are you sure you can use that word and not get sued for it?

Very easy, I stop joining anything, because it’s my computer fault, my network fault, my fault……….

never ANET’s fault…….

I run an i7 with 10GB of RAM, with a GTX 960 Graphics card, a high speed HDD, all programs in the background are paused or turned off during GW2 sessions. My internet is pinging quite well because it’s not major patch week. If there is a patch week, I would never join Fractals, because my ping is 1k plus.

Next thing you know, Seera, you are going to tell me I need to upgrade to a better Processor , better graphics card, more RAM, buy an SSD with 90k iops read and write minimum, buy a better monitor because my monitor is lagging, get better internet, go report to support…etc.

oh, maybe I should also buy a new keyboard, mouse, immigrate to a country where ANET server is locate and stay almost next to the datacenter.

I shouldn’t be giving disclaimer everytime when I can load into LA in seconds, load into other maps in second, then and on the same session, it suddenly slows down when loading into Fractals.
it’s RANDOM. And it doesn’t happen ALL THE time either. I can go for weeks without any loading times, then suddenly it loads in slow……..

Whatever, I guess I need to go buy a new processor and other stuff now, since it’s my fault…….it always is…….
just like major patch week or LW patch…………

Seera.5916:

SirDrygan.1823:

Let’s be clear, it’s NOT everytime the loading screen takes forever, it’s random. Sometimes, it takes like forever, sometimes it loads in fast. I have no idea when it will happen. But it does happen. And I have been in groups where other people are also in the instance but doesn’t move for quite a while. I also assume they are loading in. I usually suggested that to the group after they started getting impatient.

Yes, but at some point, the wait becomes too long and your party members are fine to kick. Especially if they have not been told that you are prone to random long loading screens that happen enough to warrant being worried being kicked due to them. At which point, unless the party member would be locked out of content, I would suggest we start the instance and the party member who loaded in long can catch up later. We can always hold while they catch up. And I would make sure the person who said they might load in long was aware that if it took more than a 2 minutes, that we would start without them.

I should let people know…… everytime I join a group, I need to put out a disclaimer…….
Seriously……..

So, you solution is to tell everyone that I have a problem and be sure to wait for me even if I load in 5 minutes later? Every time right? Because that is what we must do because you don’t the random loading screen problem and I do?

Is that how you push the fault on to me because ANET cannot make loading in faster? or something wrong happens during loading and it takes a while to load in.

Because ANET can do no wrong right?

Sometimes, it takes quite a while to load into a map/fractals/dungeons…….

if that happens, your group mates will think you are offline and kick you.

Whose fault is it?

Amaimon.7823:

No. On the contrary. It actually tells players to break the bat OR avoid the rain. It’s an extra putin option to deal with the boss. How is your idea different from the current reality? Walking out of the aoe ring and autoattack with a ranged weapon

I used to run Tempest Staff, but since staff got nerf to hell, I run Scepter/Warhorn. And my style is to get in close to Captain OP to drop all the fire skill on him then pop Overload Fire before turning Air and drop Overload Air. then back to fire. And I get attack my his meteor shower most of time. I just dodge and run towards him in another direction. As for the breakbar, I tried to break it, but most of the pugs don’t do it usually……. unless I am in a group that knows what they are doing……

Amaimon.7823:

SirDrygan.1823:

I once got kicked because the run was 5 seconds slower……….. and I am one of the tempest……….and I am the one that did not get down….and I was kick…….

Toxic to the max…..

well, that’s just stupid…
but I can assure you, some are like that, some are not like that, just try again, plenty of social groups, too

Nah, never run 40 anymore after that…….not worth my time playing with those people…

I once got kicked because the run was 5 seconds slower……….. and I am one of the tempest……….and I am the one that did not get down….and I was kick…….

Toxic to the max…..

“Breaking Captain Ashym in the Urban Battleground Fractal will now cancel his Meteor Shower ability.”

The Meteor Shower for Captain OP here should stay even if we break his break bar.

Why must it be cancel?

so that players can now stand there and press 1 more than pressing other numbers on the keyboard?

I do Fractals almost everyday at the T4 level.

And the fun of fighting Captain OP here is that he changes his attacks every 25% of his health or so. So, his meteor shower is too OP, but that is what the dodge button is for. YOU ONLY NEED TO DODGE ONCE. Or if you are in my group, you can stay away from me because my character usually get targeted the most by the meteor shower. And all I need to do is dodge.

How is that a problem? Even if we break his breakbar, the meteor shower should stay.

Solvar.7953:

There has been various discussions about how experience becomes wasted if you are not able to unlock all the masteries and there is nothing for them to go into. There is also discussions about the Central Tyria Mastery points and the pain it can be for those. So my thought for a solution:

Add a repeatable mastery track that does not take any mastery points, takes 254,000 experience to complete, and gives you a spirit shard.

Thus, players can get back to the pre HoT behavior if they want. If a character does not have any masteries they can advance, experience would funnel here. Or if a player just decides there are some masteries they just don’t care about, they could choose this mastery instead.

My second part of this would be to add a repeatable mastery track like the above, with some high (5 million?) total that gives you a Central Tyria Mastery point. Thus, players could grind out those points over time instead of doing content they don’t really want to do.

With a high total, it would almost certainly be faster to do the achievements. But this just provides an avenue for those players to get the CtM points.

Thus same thing could be done for HoM points also – at least so far, to me, those seem easier, but at some point, experience will get locked behind completing a raid (there have been different discussions on that).

This would require some development work, but would seem to be using logic that is already mostly in the game, so maybe no so hard.

5million is too low. Make it 10million so that people that don’t play the game everyday are not at a disadvantage…….. too much……..

We are not buying enough Black Lion stuff to fund that.

Cool.

You want close, I will tell you a tale of how close…but in the Silverwaste…..Vinewrath

Got into the map with 14/15 Carriers…..

And all lanes don’t know what they were doing. from the chat, it seem they failed South, Mid and North…….before calling in LFG……
Someone on the map started organizing while protecting that last 3 carriers…….
I forgot which lane went in first for 1st boss, but it was nail bitting. People on chat were already giving up saying this is hopeless. But many of us were trying their darnest to keep the carriers alive. I even have to go full on Water and stick to the carrier like glue as does some others.

In the end, the score. Vinewrath 0, Players 1 (14/15)
It was that close…..

Where? I don’t remember anything like that? Or just that I didn’t bother with it.

But, while we are at it, can we remove those those kids who are playing pretend as Kasmeer and Majory? Those two ARE really annoying.

Basically “we are doing something, but just enough to fix something. mark my word, it will be tremendous!”

gg.

ArchonWing.9480:

So I noticed something changed lately that’s relatively minor but highly appreciable.

Sometimes I rearrange my utility skills because certain configurations feel more comfortable. So say my utility skills are Retreat, Save Yourselves, and Purging Flames, If I want to move purging flames to the left most part of my utility bar, I can just select retreat, select purging flames, and the icons will switch places. Unless one of them happens to be on cooldown.

That is, until lately! And so I was happy.

Urrmm… this has been there since I started playing, which is one month after launch……because i remember, I have been doing that for quite a long time……

Epidemic will be nerf to the ground…..sigh….and I just recently completed my Condi necro….

Que sera, sera Whatever will be, will be

I am not expecting anything good will come out of this patch……just like the previous balance patch, I want to read how delusional or out of touch the devs are in their justification patch notes with the PvE mode.

Regardless of what your ISP tells you, they control the routing of you connection to where ever and what ever you connect to. Anet pays for a connection to their ISP and that is the end of what they are responsible for.

Regardless of how much you are defending ANET, I can understand what you are saying.

Because I have said it already, I have NO PROBLEMS when it comes to connecting to GW2 after a patch had landed after the whole hoohaa has died down. Usually after 1 week or so.

My case has been like this for the past several patch.
A few days before a patch, connection starts lagging. 1k ping spikes.
On patch day, connection goes to hell. 1k ping spikes to 4k……best was during Lunar New Year patch, I only get some 500 to 1k pings….worst is Halloween. 4k+ pings.
After a few days after the patch landed, connections starts to get better.

Don’t tell me this is my ISP fault. When I can connect to everything on the internet including pron that is blocked in my country because I am using google’s DNS. Only GW2 is having problems. Not in this patch, but the past several patches. Can you explain why everything it happens around patch week? And not every time?
I run Fractals daily. T4. If I have 1k ping everyday, I would get kick every time I enter Fractals.
because of this problem from patches, I usually don’t enter Fractals during patch week. Because it’s pointless. And also I run the LW maps for the achievements.
After a week or so after patch week, my connections go back to normal.
Tell me that is my ISP fault. That it happens EVERY patch since middle of last year……. Come tell me my ISP who is the worst ISP in the world’s fault when it can give me stable connection daily most of time when events in the new living world or festivals have died down. I was happily running Fractals daily a week before this patch landed. The connection issue started about a week ago. I already know a patch is coming soon before the patch announcement. Because it’s the same everytime near a patch. Connection lags.

I am not trying to defend anyone, that’s just how it works. I am just trying to point you and others who are having connection problems in the right direction. When you are having the issues, run pingplotter, this will tell you where the problem is. If you are dead set on this being Anet’s problem then I’m sorry but no one here can help you. You will need to submit a support ticket through the “Support” tab on the top of the page. The are thousands and thousands of players in this game, do you think Anet is responsible for each and every persons connection? They are only responsible for their connection to the internet. If there is something wrong with their connection it would affect every single player not just some.

Ok. Fine. I will go tell my ISP about the problem.

However, as you have seen in this thread and the other thread, many have similar problems so, I am not the only one with the issue.

rojak.1894:

zoehartman.3941:

If you guys still having issue with the connection, try using VPN. It solved my issue with DC.

it works temporarily, but it is not convenient in the long run when you have other stuff downloading in the background that use up the VPN bandwidth allowed. ping is also higher.

other online games have proper routing and don’t need a VPN to have stable connection out of the box. Gw2 needs VPN to just not DC every 10 mins lately. why can other games not route through the Tier 3/Telia servers and why must NCsoft servers specifically route through there? there lies the probem.

what we hope is Anet to contact the networks involved to look into the issue, because Level 3 or Telia is the hop before reaching their NCsoft servers. our ISP is unable to solve the problem and we don’t have other choice of ISP. our report also carries little weight.

No no no. You got it wrong. It’s not ANET’s fault that your connection routing is going through some bad packet lost. It’s the fault of your ISP.
~Anet Carpet Cleaner.

I run Viper minions poison with Flesh Golem and that flying thingy that I cannot remember the name. Did it last night. I have been having issues with dc since patch landed, and all I was doing was run around Caedecus during the shield phase and grabbing and throwing the shards as I run to the next one. It all comes down to your build. My power Condi Ele will probably die 1001 or more times before I can even get his health to 50%

I am keeping them…… like most of the junk I have kept so far……..

eozturk.7205:

White mantle attack is way too weak compared to Lion’s arch.
As a pact commander, player character should involve who is gonna be next Pact marshall instead of Queen or Leader of Vigil.

I nominate the commander for Pact Marshall…….because we are the ONLY competent people in Tyria that can do anything right.

Logan as Pact Marshall???? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Now we are going to go clean up Braham’s mess and ALSO Logan’s mess…..
I see what you did there ANET…..

Qaezie.5307:

Dear All,

After the patch, I suffered from frequent lag and multiple disconnections from the server. This is very frustrating and heart-breaking.

I’m a player from Malaysia and tested with other online mmo(s) / games. However, I don’t have any connection issue with those games. By the way, teamspeak is smooth as usual (even though I don’t have mic).

I would love to continue support the game and hopefully one day I might be able to play with my children in future (well… I’m still single but who knows one day it may become true?). It just that the connection issue really breaks me … a lot. I don’t know about other players, maybe they will take break and come back later? As for me, the question is how am I supposed to support the game that I love if I can’t even play the game?

It has yet reaches my limit; at least not today but if I decided to stop playing then which mean I’m done with this game. Consider I’m insane as I’ll going to make sure there’s nothing left for me to come back (regardless of donating mats / gold to guild, trash all items / gears, delete all toons, etc). Maybe is because of a thin line between love and hate (is my problem anyway).

Kindly look into this matter and seek for a resolution urgently. Any form action to resolve the problem will be very much appreciated. Thank you.

/hug

are you on Streamyx or UniFi? i hear TIME connection is ok, but then you need to have access to that, and the coverage area is very limited.

yea it is sad because sometimes they say is ISP problem, then when we complain to ISP nothing happens because we are only 1/4/8Mbps subscriber and the network is so oversaturated we only have private IP.

then again, have not encountered such terrible DC with other games so i wonder if it is also our ISP to NCSoft server routing problem. if Anet cannot fix this for affected players then i guess we have very few options: VPN, change ISP, quit the game.

but as you know TmNet is the major ISP monopoly here. so yea it has been unplayable again since the latest patch. always Error 7:11:3:191:101. i just log out.

I am on Streamyx. And no, I don’t have connection issues with other online games nor I have any issues with any other website. I usually play GW2 together with youtube playing on my second monitor. And I still get 275 ping avg….

But problems usually appear near a patch and when patching and after patching……then the connection stabilise after a week or so. The cycle is the same. Every patch every living story since last year. During Halloween patch, on the first day, I can hardly play due to ping 4k+…….it got better after a week…

zoehartman.3941:

Not sure if this is just me or the website also loading pretty slow. Youtube site was loading fine for me but GW2 page loading too slow.

And the game keeps disconnect – its annoying to keep playing the story over & over again.

Same with me. Website and Game lagging like hell and dc’ing like hell too.

I log in and then dc or everything doesn’t work.

Relogged in then DC again…..

Same with me. My problem started even before the patch drop. It was so far, ok before the patch, I still got dc and ran into 4k pings , but I can still play.

Today I logged in play a bit, dc, logged back in, play somemore, dc again and again and again…I can’t keep a stable connections.

Why on the other hand, just to test my connection, I play Marvel Online 2016, and it was smooth…….with no lags and stuff.
Even watching Youtube was ok at 720p………
So, I don’t think it’s my connection problem……

Predator is still WAY much better……..

Jormag attacks ANET directly……..that is unexpected.

My connection still as kittenty as ever….so, even if the patch drop, it will be like the other previous patches, I cannot do kitten because I am getting hit by lag. 1k to 2k pings. And it only happens when a patch is newly landed and sometimes like this one, happens before it suppose to land. Had this problem with , Season 3 patches so far 3 for 3, the Halloween patch, the Wintersday Patch, the Luna New Year Patch (less, but on day one it was kittenty)…..,

Make it 1 second boon for 33% flat damage.
Make Rev Might boon 1/2 second 11% flat damage and 1 sec internal CD before sharing again. 1 boon per share only. Gets overwrite by the 33% boon. Doesn’t stack.

Even if I give you a reason why I don’t play PvP & WvW, will you believe me? I know some of the pvpers will read my reason and scream at it ending with “git gud”…..

I had 4mill karma, ( I know some people here have 1 billion karma or more, not comparing) , anyways, I used up 2million+ when Ember Bay landed…..by the time I get to A Crack in the Ice, I am back up to 4million + karma…..then I use 3million + Karma for that and now I am back up to 4million+ karma again……..

Those vendors need to expand their inventory to sell other stuffs……. at least let people use karma to buy some common items……like those Heart vendors, selling Salvaging kits for karma instead of coins…….

OP, I would give you some of mine….as I don’t need them anymore……. IF Anet removes the Account Bound thing…….

just make another one….

WARIORSCHARGEING.2637:

WARIORSCHARGEING.2637:

fact that DX11 and DX12 is out and useable and the fact another company has a game that

has been out since November 23, 2004 and now uses DX11 fully . unlike GW2 that

thanks to Anet is still stuck in the stone ages of DX9 !! and has no intent to change that

or bring it up with the times of the latest gaming technologies. makes me now look

for other new games that use this latest gaming technologies !! while i still love to

somewhat play GW2 . i fully belive and think Anet will never change as a gaming

company and stay stuck in the old days of gaming technologies.

ANet hasn’t made over 10 billion dollars for subscriptions and can afford staffing a team to build a new game engine that’s still compatible with all the existing art assets in a reasonable amount of time as well as a team to improve those assets as well.

10 billion dollars for subscriptions ??? really the only subscriptions i paid for is when

i bought the game .and no one has me for money . and nor have or do i spend

real world money on games at all other then buying the game itself for its

enjoyment factors for me !! . not only that but if Anet really wanted to giving that

number your giving us all they now got more than enough to rebuild and even remake

the game itself into HD even. and then some and even patches to boot to end lag

and make sure it is not hackable . and even update this website too . after all it,s only

software . and its not like you need trees or steel to get the job done

Its only Software…..lol.. You say it like it is one of the easiest job in the world……. Are you even aware that guild wars 2 is a multi player online game? Anet still needs money to pay for running the servers………. You cannot play gw2 without a server running…….staff salaries, taxes, medical payments, bonuses, bandwidth cost, serves cost, office overheads……..etc……

Gw2 is not running a subscription base mmorpg…..it earns money from cash shop sales and the game purchase…………gw2 is not going to last very long if it doesn’t have enough revenue……

Also, fixing a bug is not like how you fix a problem in a real world scenario……….. Or something like that……

So, any other way for ANET to earn money to maintain Guild Wars 2?

Because one day, it will be like many other MMOs, ANET would be force to run maintenance mode and then close the server if the money doesn’t come in. And you all are complaining about the RNG of a cash shop item that you all do not intend to pay for the key. I am sure the keys the OP gotten are accumulated from in-game and thus ANET did not get a cent from it.

Mantara.1056:

Hi Forum!

I have been a long time mmo player but I have been only playing Neverwinter since its beta launched 3 years ago. It hit a lull for me and im branching out. GW2 was highly recommended by many in my Neverwinter guild so when I got an access code in my the Christmas humble bundle I just had to sign up and dive in.

Anyone want to offer some advise to a beginner?

Got any helpful links or guides? (I didnt see anything stickied in the main forum)

Even things like quirks in the game? example: In Neverwinter you can get random graphical artifacts from certain textures if you have shadows quality at max and also using ambient screen occlusion filter. not game breaking but a nice QOL upgrade knowing you can make a small change in settings and it will go away.

Any way, im looking forward to exploring the game and getting to know the forums.

Cheers,
Mantara

Look me up when you are in-game, I will help you if possible.

Adry.7512:

There seems to be this argument about a new race not happening in the near future of GW2. This opinion is backed by the fact that making a new race require a lot of work because of all the different armors that would have to be re-done and future armors for said race. THIS is backed up by a couple of dev comments stating how hard it is to make a different armor type every race, which explains why we dont get an abundance of armor per major content update.

Well I will tell you that all your assumptions are wrong. What Anet has created (and the reason why they struggle in making armor), is a different body type for almost EVERY race available in GW2. We have a small, medium, large, and beastly body-type. This sums up almost every body-type available in your average mmo. Meaning that there is a veryyyyyy high probability that any future race added to the game WILL fit the body-type of a current race. This means that ANY armor created or existing will be able to be applied to said race without any difficulties.

This completely debunks the assumption that there will be no new race added to the future of GW2.

You should hope that GW2 earns enough money first before hoping for a new race. If they don’t turn in enough revenue, things may not end well…….

Sorry, but I main an Ele. With not optimal DPS using Berserker stats plus some condi rings and low toughness. And if I am in a group with me as the only Ele. I get targetted ALOT. The boss or enemies will make a bee line for me, even if I am in the back, the just run past the players in front of me.
