I can agree with that… however… the bottom line is that it’s a problem with ANet Network not a bunch of people’s personal networks…
No. It is unlikely that personal networks are the cause as problems with those would affect other programs too but the internet consists of more than just the end-users and Anet’s servers.
Unless you actually examine your network traffic (for example by running a traceroute) when you are lagging you can’t claim whose fault it is.
As an example the most severe lag I ever had was caused by the Level3 node in Frankfurt. Switching to a VPN completely eliminated the lag.
In that case the problem wasn’t on Anet’s side and there wasn’t anything they could have done.
A short guide regarding lagging.
It’s definitely at ANet’s side. I’m running a top end gamer with a Solid State hard drive and I never get lag.. earlier tonight it was real bad… I left and went back in an hour later and it was better.
(Note: how in the world does two letter s’s translate into a bad word and turned into kitten?) can’t even abbreviate solid state.. lol
Lag as in skill lag is network related.
What kind of pc you have has basically no influence on it.
Unusual day for a patch to hit, but I suppose Thanksgiving has made a few schedule changes.
Yep, that’s right. While we know the whole world doesn’t celebrate Thanksgiving it does impact the studio, so Monday seems just the right day to roll this episode. And really, having a 4-day weekend will allow us studio folks to play even more!
Reduce the impact of night capping. Lessen the gap between winning scores and losing scores so losing teams can still recover. Adjust objective score relative to upgrade level.
Adjust score for capturing objectives.
Rebalance the score awarded for activities that don’t reward points per tick.
Take suggestions from the community!
The changes in bold have yet to be implemented even though they were part of the very first “poll”.
The first two have been implemented with the Skirmishes.
Whether you think the changes were sufficient enough is another matter.
The problem is indeed caused by your ram.
You have too little of it.
In order to fix these crashes you would need to upgrade Windows to 64bit and build more ram in your pc.
Meanwhile you should reduce the graphics to absolute minimum and don’t run other programmes while you play.
Anet disabled them a short time after release due to exploits/bugs and promised (yes, literally promised) to bring them back after being fixed. A year or so later (or was it longer?), without them saying a word about it they finally hid all the evidence of orbs ever existing by removing the ramp behind north camp and destination shrines in the keeps. What we got instead was a horribly OP bloodlust mechanic (removal of the central lake and addition of the ruins) until they nerfed that.
Any quotes to back that up?
The patchnotes for the removal said
“Orbs or some similar mechanic may return in the future, but only if we’re confident that they won’t create similar issues.”
The posts from Devon Carver also all said pretty much the same thing.
“without them saying a word "
I really recommend that you read some of the dev posts regarding the orbs before you make such claims.
They promised the Orbs would be back as well, never happened.
Do you have a source for that?

My suggestion is this: allow for a /mute all command or for players to simply be muted in game with a quick, swift click of the button. Other games allow for this, and I would like to see this be another. If not, I will have to refrain from an aspect of the game I enjoy. In turn, that will lead to me eventually playing less which will lead to my eventual departure from the game altogether. Meaning, a loss of money. Granted just one person.
You can make a chat tab that has everything disabled and switch to it if you want to.
Repair Hammers will be disabled in the next release. You will be able to sell them to earn your money back if you have not used them by then. We will hold a poll after they are disabled to determine if they should be added back into the game, possibly with tweaks, as a permanent feature.
Bountiful Theft has its own stealing table/order. We’re looking into the possibility of changing it to function similarly to the conversions, but there’s also a chance that we move to “first-in-last-out” in the future as well. The big thing is that we always want to assure benefit, so that you don’t steal the tail-end of swiftness for 0.5 seconds (also, it’s preferable for balance that we don’t let the trait steal minutes worth of specific boons). Here’s the order, Resistance and Quickness included:
Aegis
Stability
Protection
Regeneration
Retaliation
Fury
Swiftness
Might
Resistance
Quickness
Vigor (since the trait already gives you this one)
Flanking Strikes still uses the first in last out system and won’t be random, since it’s not a conversion.
The same problem still exists. The sad truth is it isn’t really ArenaNet’s problem to fix, they selected cider(RIP)/transgaming to make the mac client who it turn is using wine32 in cider. As far as I can tell they are still using a kind of old version of wine.
If ArenaNet was really serious about their mac client maybe they would work with the Wine folks to come up with a good solution. It could probably done with 2 or 3 skilled programers as a full time job.
Farming it out to Transgaming or Codeweavers doesn’t seem to really work for anyone. Wargaming (World of tanks has Codeweavers do their Mac client and it’s a mess too.
This of course is pure speculation on my part. They may already have dedicated staff on the Mac client. It may be a “buy our SDK and make your port” scenario instead of just “farming” it out to a third party. I still don’t believe it’s unsolvable.

Or post your crash log which you can find here

No response as in nothing? Not even a automated confirmation that your ticket was received?
Then take a look at this thread.
Otherwise if your ticket is older then 3 days you can post the ticket number here.
Since we have decided to reevaluate every 2 months we will be reevaluating the current world links and making adjustments on the very last Friday of every even month starting this month on the 24th.
No.
To clarify there never was a real native mac client.
The current client for mac is basically the windows client using the third-party wrapper cider to run on mac.
After the responsible company for cider was bought by NVIDIA they shifted their work to other things.
I think only then Anet started to work on a real native mac client.
“Currently we can patch, run around in several maps, we don’t fall through the floor anymore. It is progressing and we will let you guys know when we’re ready to go into beta.”
Condition damage affecting siege has always been kittening dumb. WvW devs have out in their all to make this game mode a bastion for condition players. Can my cannon hits crit please?
That was changed three months ago.
If you can confirm that condition damage still affects siege please post in the bug subforum.
Standard P/D condi build works wonder against them in WvW.
I wouldn’t call it a counter against them but it is a favourable match.
Either that or all Mesmers I meet are terrible.
what exactly do you think would save that mesmer with that build and more importantly what is he able to do to that thief?
Using Blink first to leave the caltrops.
Condition removal works on a last in-first out principle.
Trying to cleanse conditions while constantly new ones are applied is a bad idea.
The Mesmer basically killed himself due to his skill spamming while having confusion stacks.
Using Decoy was also a pretty bad idea. He wasn’t stunned and stealth is useless in that situation. The only effect was more damage to himself.
The names of the achievements “Speargun Master” and “Harpoon Master” are misleading. The Speargun achievement is actually referring to Harpoon Gun weapons (sometimes just called Harpoon). The Harpoon achievement refers to Spear weapons.
As usual if you have lags and want to complain about them at least verify that it is really Anets fault by running a traceroute.
i dont think you understand what im talking about. this isnt just me its affecting. its everyone playing in wvw at that time. i can play in SPVP, and there will be 0 lag. but as soon as i log into eternal battlegrounds, it starts lagging like crazy. how many times have i tried tracerouting..? i dont even know. when i first started playing wvw years ago, i also thought it was my own internet. but nope.
if you ask people in map chat.. they all say the same.
Then it shouldn’t be a problem for you to actually prove whose fault it is by posting a recent traceroute.
A traceroute would also be more helpful for Anet to fix things instead of just saying I’m lagging do something.
And for a widespread issue there doesn’t seem to be much complaining either ingame that I’m aware of nor here on the forums.
Eh what? If this passes I assure you its going into WvW as Anet has already designed it. There are no what ifs and there is no beta test with a vote to keep it. This is the vote. Yes or no, choose.
That is for the next vote to decide.
Not this one as it clearly says:
“After players have had a chance to test repair hammers we will hold a follow-up poll to determine if repair hammers should become a permanent feature of the game.”
The banner will revive players for 100% of their total down state health and 100% of their normal health meaning that through debuffs (such as Poison and/or Agony), the banner’s revival capabilities can be negated to the point that the affected player will not revive at all, and only regain a portion of their downed health.
Since we have decided to reevaluate every 2 months we will be reevaluating the current world links and making adjustments on the very last Friday of every even month starting this month on the 24th.
If they are spamming you can report them obviously for spamming.
Begging is nothing illegal and certainly not a scam.
If players choose to send someone gold just because he asks for it then it is their own choice.
