Server Lag and Disconnects! DDoS? [merged]

I’ve posted this in another couple of threads, so I hope I don’t get in trouble for posting it again…but, the net is under attack right now with a big ol’ botnet raging about like a CGI Godzilla. Here is the map from IPViking that shows live action tracing global attacks: http://map.ipviking.com/

That real-time attack map is rather interesting; it’s like Star Wars out there! I’m wondering though how to interpret what is the DDoS and not a “typical” attack from China.

Updating the Commander System: UPDATED

Colors, sure. Giving power to players to up/downvote a commander? No, thank you.

I think you’re relying too much on the ability of non-commanders to vote objectively, and if such a tool were available to rate commanders, that same tool should be available to rate all players. There are probably more bad players than bad commanders; fair’s fair.

If you want a rating system, it should be determined by the game mechanics, i.e. number of objectives captured in a week, average number of other players present during said captures, etc. Multiple commanders capturing the same objective would probably have to split the rating (to avoid “boosting”), but anything to correlate a commander’s effectiveness independent of player opinion or bias would be a better option.

Post your amusing charr pictures!

Need Separate Looting Control

I went searching for a separate keybind for looting and came across your post.

Thoughtful and well worded. I second this motion. I’ve noticed that looting has priority over reviving (kitten everyone else, right?), but sometimes I get a little punchy with the F key and have to dodge away to cancel a revive. I wouldn’t mind the convenience.

Honestly though, I think lootable bodies stick around long enough to account for this during events, and rare/exotic item drops stick around longer in little chests (à la WvW) after the bodies have despawned. It’s annoying, but not as detrimental to gameplay as some might imply.
