Guild Wars 2

I’ve been experiencing massive lag spikes in PVE and personal story, as well as Fractal and Dungeons. WVW seems to be completely fine for me, yet I have seen others rail about how bad WVW lag is.

I know it is not my internet, as I have a cable modem 64 mbps hardwired to my computer, and can stream YouTube or Twitch at highest resolutions with no stutter.

I’ve tried clearing all processes from Task Manager, and even turned all setting down to lowest to see if that would help. Nothing seems to alleviate the lag except waiting for 15 to 30 minutes so my ping goes down from around 3500 ms back down to 41-65, which is normal everyday ping for my computer.

I’ve also noticed that trying to get to the forum main page or even navigating within them takes much longer than normal; it took almost 5 minutes to load this post.

Hoping things get worked out soon.

I do believe blackgamma meant incentivize instead of insensitive. :P

I’ve been getting this Error 58:11:5:535:101 code today. Can’t for the life of me figure out why I would be disconnecting from server all the time. I’m watching Youtube, or on Second Life just fine, heck, even Overwatch, just to see if it’s me, and only GW2 has been hiccuping.

I don’t mind being Aurene’s slave – uh, ah, I mean champion. I mean, just look at how cute this girl is.

How can you resist?

I occasionally enjoy the charr character model being a little skewed from collision mesh physics. I was wondering and/or hoping others might have seen a “spider kitty” hanging off walls or cliffs, and what context it had on a serious cutscene or dialogue.

Edit: This one is a much better picture. The other one apparently had too low an exposure. It looked much better on my computer.

Race: Charr
Class: Seems to be any.
Gender: Either.

In Strange Observations, if you move to where Rytlock, Braham, Rox, and the rest of your party appears as Kiru talks to Taimi, the Charr character’s mouth will start to deform horribly to one side and look like the muzzle is melting. This has been noticed on all three armor classes; heavy, medium, and light, as well as when in an outfit, such as Lunatic Guard. It is a rather startling, yet hilarious issue, as the images shown can attest to.

Human female mesmer, randomly shouts “Lyssa confound you.” while not in combat, or even in when in a city, like Lion’s Arch. No attacks used, weapons are still sheathed.

Also to bump for bugging out, I consistently crash in map meta events, whether in high population, or low population maps. Re-installing, repairing, and rebooting GW2 over and over draws no good fortune. I have even tried to defragment my hard disk drive and check for errors. The crashes happen on any map: Central Tyria, WvW, PvP, EotM, HoT. The crashes happen at any interval of time, be it 5 minutes to 30 minutes. I’ve constantly lost out on map meta progression and participation experience due to these, and as such have been stunted in my ability to move my masteries up to anything more than level 2. I try to play at least 6 hours a day, and am trying to hit any event I can. I have avoided the map’s meta-event boss fights, as I have been burned before many times by crashing and getting stuck in an overflow or low-population map which fails those boss encounters. I can safely say I have no idea what goes on in these fights past 5 or so minutes in, and I have never seen a map’s total event completion to its fullest extent.

Bump for bugging out; been this way since HoT launch for myself, as I cannot complete these achievements. Page doesn’t spawn/isn’t able to be interacted with, and the first NPC to resurrect will not spawn period.

Drekon Shi.8417:

Is there really no one else having problems with there being no influence trader?? Every time I check to see if there is one I am left with no fruits for my labors. Is there a certain level a guild has to be or something to see one or are there any requirements at all? Such information seems to be elusive at this time. I have just over 6k worth of influence and no way to use it thanks anet. Was the influence trader removed for Halloween? Who knows I know I don’t.

I was informed by someone in Lion’s Arch that the Influence Trader requires 10K influence or above to be able to use. I only have a little over 4K, but all my influence, all my upgrades to my guild, I got alone, by my own hand and my own hard-won gold. Next to nothing to show for it now.

I’ve not been very active on Guild Wars 2 for the past few months, mainly from not being “good” at the game to warrant a party request from others. Being a recluse doesn’t help either after trying to help new folks get attuned to the game’s basic mechanics, and having others shout me down because I don’t understand them perfectly myself. I get the gist of things, and learn by experience, but when I can’t properly experience something to its fullest content, I get frustrated very quickly at myself. I feel like I’ve missed out; I haven’t done it right. I will be the first one to say I am terrible at games, not from being a poor player, but by focusing on the wrong things, or to the little details of things that I am told do not matter.

Maybe it’s just my own fault, but I had work all the live long weekend; that might have shorted my ability to get the most out of the event. When I was finally able to get on for the few hours I had before sleep overtook me, I noticed very, very few people in the map, and all events were active and failing. I had attempted numerous times to switch the map to hopefully a more populated one, only to get stuck on the same empty map with, at most, 5 other people. We’ve all been in that instance of Sparkfly Fen when Tequatl pops and only 10 people are there. The whole event chain is a downright mess and unable to complete, almost laughably.

Almost all of the events took more than a handful of people to pass it, and just about each day it seemed no one was interested in helping out. I never bothered to check out any of the other classes, because I already have all the classes in one form or another, (And half of them level 80 and never a piece of exotic armor to their names.) I couldn’t bring my already worked on and hashed out characters to the beta, and was not going to attempt to recreate it from beta scraps. It’d take too long for the little time I had.

No events and no participation ability made for no Mastery. No mastery meant I couldn’t even use a glider, what purportedly some folks say they got in less than 30 minutes. Didn’t know the elite specializations; didn’t know where to find them or how to unlock them, if they were unlocked they were literally jumping out of the screen saying “Right here~” and I simply missed them.

It’s great that ArenaNet allows people to enjoy the beginnings of the fruits of their labors by offering Beta Weekends. I personally have been playing Guild Wars 2 since Beta Weekend 1, and pre-purchased the Collector’s edition only 2 hours after it became available. Those weekends were great – I could play because I didn’t have -as much- a grueling schedule at my job, and could learn about the new style of gameplay GW2 offered. This time, it didn’t offer me that same impact, because I was only able to play less of it. Much less. I suppose, after reading all these “Ooh and Ahh” type posts, I might have enjoyed it more had I been able to play for a longer period of time. Guess that it’s all about life and what you can do with it. Hopefully for the next Beta Weekend, I will be able to take some time for myself and properly enjoy it.

Cheers, all.

@Ohoni.6057 You speak very much with my own words, even a bit more eloquently than I could have put into mass text. Thank you for the extra voice.
