Guild Wars 2

Shining One.1635:

How about instead of “harming” anyone, just incentivize the population to rebalance itself. You could quadruple all rewards for servers below the Full threshold, double the rewards for servers at the Full threshold and cap those servers, and provide no increase to the servers above the Full threshold. I bet those over-Full servers would start de-stacking when players on Medium servers start earning their legendary armor in 1/4 the time.

Have to keep in mind that there are a few full servers due to their pve population.
However, what would be interesting is if Anet keep BG closed and opened up Magumma

I’m logging in from Australia, with avg 1000+ms ping atm.
Anywhere near wvw zerg = 4000+ ping and rubberband death.
My isp has said issue is due to SEA-ME-WE3 sea cable damage.
Not sure if this is what is affecting you too.

I logged a ticket with Anet and ISP.
Anet got back to me quicker and needed pingplotter results and gameadvisor results.
Not sure what check but i got a usual copy/paste reply of need to have ports 80, 443, 6112 open that i see flooded when you do a google search.
ISP got back to me later and they said they not sure why Anet said that. They said port 6112 might make a difference but they would not try now.
They said issue is currently with routing changes that they have done due to underwater cables being damaged.

If you are logging from Australia or Asia and experiencing lag issues, you can check the article below.

Unplayable at the moment.
Not only me affected, others on server as well.

A sword thief with no access to stealth would still kill u.

Is it possible if Anet can please fix this bug? Unsure about others, but i still have this problem.

Bug Bug: Sometimes the target isn’t pulled all the way, the cause is unknown.

“September 29, 2015 Updated Magnet to allow it to pull a target the full distance to you if the target was near maximum range.”

Skill 2 on rifle really needs to be looked at.
The immobilize gets cleared easily.
Would prefer if they maybe added damage to this skill or changed it to something else.

SoS has a ktrain at this time.
Also think Dragonbrand has many at that time.

Dear ArenaNet,
Please fix this new map.
It lags alot, mostly skill lag.
Thank You.

I wouldn’t recommend, the servers are already lagging when 2 zergs fight or when there is battle near smc.
It will just frustrate ppl more and that leads to more complains.

A mesmer (Queen Jennah) type feedback to cover red keep from Treb Wars 2.

wow…finally TC is open.
TY Anet.

Bro, all ur accounts are in blob servers: BG/SoS/SBI.
Wanna login to you SoS account and see whats going on?

Well said James. Us in TC can’t drop down any further either so are stuck with this stupid red bl till some new change comes in.

Happening again right now.

WvW, anywhere near SMC is a skill lag of +5secs.

You might wanna stay there until next reset cos they linked with us (TC).

PS. If i remember correctly, weren’t you someone who left TC due to so guy problem???

Well, NSP and CD are open.
As for TC, still closed.

Sazukikrah.5036:

Yes I agree with either turning them all neutral (Yellow) or just remove the ambient npcs altogether.. What purpose do they really serve? To make WvW feel alive?

It mainly helps guards (sword 2 skill and Judge’s Intervention) and revs (Phase Traversal) when chased to get away.

I’m just wondering if Tarnished Coast was to be opened up for few days, would anyone or any guilds transfer to it?

A per Predicted rankings: http://mos.millenium.org/na/matchups/ we have slumped to dead last.

Justine.6351:

And I mean oakheart walk so slow you can run away if they are killing you…
If you need some safe practice, go to queensdale and near the swamp there are a few. I practice on those during late night so people don’t interfere with oakheart and my 1v1 duels.

Ok, learn to read to understand issue here.
Scenario…..
Justine is fighting Sazu and they wander to near oakheart.
Justine manages to down Sazu and oakheart does a tangle root attack.
Both players are rooted.
Meanwhile Sazu starts killing the tangle root on him in his down state.
He kills the root and is raised…..and can battle again

**However she might just be trolling, so i don’t know.

For some servers like SoS, within past few weeks, it looks like they gained massive transfers/numbers. For us in TC going from 2 links to 1 has just about killed the server.

No ones bandwagon to TC, actually we just keep losing players.
You should come join TC and play for a few days.
I bet you will come back here again and ask a mod to delete this thread.

Couple servers i faced, when they know our server is low in numbers (NA sleeping) and they much higher numbers do this. The blob will go around with 3-4 shield gens and kittenitting inside it, simply impossible to hit.

Looking for some tips and general help with invisible.
How long can mesmer stay invisible, say in SMC or keep?
Could also please provide build of how they do it?
Youtube vids i found were from 2015 and traits have changed since and perma invisible may not be possible.

I saw something like this a couple weeks back. It was a female character with Kodan tonic. Similar to what these guys describe. The food he was using was a 100 healing one, not sure whats it called. He would just outlast the battle without dropping below 80%.

Ryudnard.2587:

Man, Crystal Desert is persistent. JQ failed many attempts to take their Garrison and Keep at EBG. CD definitely has the legit numbers to play WvW. Appreciate for putting up a lot of efforts to fight JQ back!

was wondering, since when did you guys get such high numbers to run massive zergs?

Zintrothen.1056:

I think I’ve been punted a good few thousand units before, by a hammer guardian.

Funny enough, i was watching this the other day.
A bit old but hilarious vid and sound effects.

Will anything be done about red keep that can be easily hit from SMC with trebs?
Blue/Green don’t get hit from there and this clearly puts all servers that are red in a disadvantage. This would mean that the map might need to be altered in someway.
I don’t know if its a hard or time consuming job, what do you guys think?

Jim Hunter.6821:

I’ve been playing a bit on the TC side of this match and that’s not what I’ve been seeing at all.
Mag pug groups have been absolutely wrecking the TC pug blob even when TC has greater numbers. On numerous occasions I saw The TC zerg trying to take a tower while 10-15 mag are hitting them from behind and the TC commander fully ignores them, once the wall or gate goes down the TC commander would head straight to lords leaving behind the people that were fighting off the Mag group. Now Mag would have the numbers and wipe that smaller group and then push into lords to clean up the rest of the zerg.

You can try and say these people should have stayed on the tag but they were already actively engaged in a fight that the commander was fully ignoring.

Problem
TC is just mostly pug players/groups. They will just follow commander but even when requested, most will not go on Teamspeak or other clients to know whats going on. This is a big reason why we get crushed most times.
If you google GW2 WVW with past week, you will get some Mag vid gameplays and see how well they stick and work together.

Best Fight this week
When Mag came to talk the TCBL Garri, very good battle, lasted close to 2 hours i think and eventually they left and then CD arrived.

Funniest moment this week
From above fight when CD arrived, i got outside of the wall facing NET and was hitting a ranger on wall. He decided to jump and take me on. NPCs put him to down state as i purposely lure the fight towards them. 2 more CD jumped off wall and came to his aid. I was like, ok i’ll back off towards NET.
From corner of my screen, i see a Mag Sneak Gyro coming pretty fast towards me. Im like ok, i’ll take this scrapper on and try hit it with shortbow. I was shocked when out from the stealth pops 3 scrappers and 1 berserker and 1 mes. Im dead within seconds. Dead and laying down looking towards where they went, those 3 CD never stood a chance.

Have fun and enjoy

Not a good idea i think.
If I get a couple ppl with me, get to golem boss.
Enemy zerg enters, we just run to the edge, glide, dodge for stealth and reset later.
How long will this keep up until few threads start asking to disable it because players run away or no point with chasing them.
I already seen couple threads complaining that some classes got too much mobility etc etc.

Can someone explain how this was done?
Im standing on our side of wall, on the stairs. some how i get “pulled” from the stairs into meteor shower. waypoint, come back, same way get pulled again. i know if on the wall, chrono gravity well can do this. But from the stairs, it was just too weird.
Anyone know how this pull is being done?
Next up, im seeing meteor shower being cast dead centre of the wall. Like when using mouse to indicate where u will put the meteor shower. They are putting in right in middle of the wall. This was taking out any ac/shield we had on the wall edge. I have tried ele and still new to that class, but never was able to cast like that..
How is this done? anyone can show me?

Lol…..BG needs a link, thats a good one.
Given that yesterday when i got on, they had every single camp/tower/keep/sentry in EBG.

That explains…..

Simpliest solution…just make 2 tonics like the Kodan one we have in game already.
1 of Tengu and other for Largos.

Sorry to go back to this old thread.
Can anyone confirm whats happened to the nodes in this map.?
Very hard to get any rubies from the nodes i’ve noticed.

Try mesmer, can easily solo so many champs.

Hi, i’ve started playing my thief again and was wondering if anyone has some good PVE videos of solo playing in maybe Ember Bay or Bitterfrost? Also please post some recommended builds.
I used to have some lag and ping issues before as i connected from Australia but at the moment its in very low 200ms so wanted to try this class again.

There is a decent amount (playing as necros) always botting in Orr as well near those Air elementals. I’ve been reporting but new ones keep showing there again and again.

Yeah, just logged back in now and everything appears to be normal now.

Hi, my character just today doesn’t seem to be able to stand straight on slanting edges and wobbles/tilts and goes to an angle.
Is there something in any options i can change to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Lag and crash started back again. 2000-4000 ping for me. ( From Australia)

May not always be bots. I happen to park some of my less used characters near nods too. One of the popular places is in Malchor’s Leap with lots of wood to farm.

I’m getting " Guild Wars 2 is full." you are placed in a queue….blah blah blah.
Only login around this time to get the daily and Teq…..missed for today.

hey I just want to ask you something. do you do Dragon Stand map often? I was doing it and getting lots of crashes after logging off. Got a support ticket and in mean time I started a new character and everything was fine till yesterday when there was a Dragon stand daily. After going therer and back, same crash error, repair window.

As per title, have tried to re-log few times but same message again.

net::ERR_ABORTED

Anyone else have this issue?

Firebird Gomer.9563:

I know that lots of these posts are made each year, but I think it has to happen until Anet actually make the following. Please Sign your support.

Anet. You keep adding or making things you think we want and ignore many of the things we ask for.

One of the largest items we have asked for is a Trait Saving System.

Ok, question for you: suppose they make it and them put it in the Gem store like the shared bag, would you buy it?

When I read what what OP wrote, this is what came to mind.

I’m having a similar issue. Every time I change a finished fractal to a different level it gets stuck on a loading page.
What is going on????

These are some of the things that i’m not happy about. The mob levels are fine, you need to get used to that difficulty level first and you’ll pick it up like what skills they use, when to be ready to dodge….etc
What I don’t like is how things are implemented and work. eg, you get kicked of maps and lose progression that you have worked the last hour or so for. (Before someone jumps in, yes I am on a 64bit client).
There is a lot of issues with Dragon Stand, firstly have to keep looking in LFG for a organized map and if you missed the time, well go do other things. Next thing, the map closes or the freaking dragon does a Houdini on you. Just disappears midway in battle and the chat will be just filled with people cursing Anet.
The other thing that I’m not happy about is the mastery that is gated behind these mini games. Some are ok, but others I’ve just given up on them.
Those are some of the thing that I and some of the people I play with are not happy about.

Hi, i’m new to thief.
I have unlocked all elite specs on it and trying to use staff.
There is this weird thing that I can not understand….does the staff 1 attack once started needs to complete the full chain of 3 hits?
Numerous times during that chain I have tried to use skill 2 or skill 5 for the dodge but some how it completes that chain and then does skill 2 or 5.
Have also tried pressing 5 quickly twice but that just makes the skill 1 chain finish and then does a double skill kitten.
Could you please let me know how you use the staff or point me to a good video?
Thank you.
