What? Are you kidding? You mean, on top of the ridiculous difficulty; buggy encounters that spawn multiple bosses, drag two players into the same fight, or just fail to work altogether; and the overall lag every world event brings… that these stupid gambits also cost frickin’ tickets?!
I’m an Elementalist. I can not for the life of me beat the 4 pirates in the gauntlet. I’ll get one, maybe two of them down, then die horrifically. I don’t know how many times I’ve smashed my head against them, trying different builds, different weapons, all with the same result. I’ve read the one little guide that’s up, but it hasn’t exactly helped all that much.
Any tips here, guys?
Yup. I get lag as well. This game is horribly optimized and the design is awful. Oh yes, let’s have players participate in skillful 1 on 1 duels where positioning and dodging are important… and let’s place the arena in a tiny cage dangling above pits where massive zergs of players are attempting to kill bosses as well as framerates. That’ll work wonders!
Whenever there’s one of these events, I always get massive amounts of lag. Mad King? Lag. Crab invasion? Lag. Giant groups of people running around in the same area seem to do something to this game that cause all my abilities to fail to cast, or cast after 10 seconds. I die to mobs that are 20 feet away from me. It makes things like attempting to do this stupid gauntlet an exercise in immense frustration. It’s been like this ever since Guild Wars 2 launched and it’s part of the reason I quit playing after the last event.
I’m able to run games like Planetside 2 just fine, and -that- game has hundreds of players in the same area as well. Is there something I can do to optimise Guild Wars 2? I get the same amount of lag whether playing on maximum or minimum graphics, and it doesn’t feel like it’s coming from my end, here.
Oh, don’t worry. I can’t beat them with an Elementalist either. I’ve died I don’t know how many times, only killing one, perhaps two of the pirates before dying. The frustration of being a squishy class that’s forced to fight 4 mobs at the same time in a confined area is enough to make stop attempting the gauntlet altogether.
That, coupled with the fact that there are no freakin’ waypoints/respawn areas on the top ring, making you walk all the way back, and I just said screw it and quit.
