Guild Wars 2

I vote for fixing it

yes please change it. It looks awful in its current form

This has been happening frequently to me on my ele. It happened rarely, if ever, during the cele d/d meta so idk what it is.
I usually use burning speed to break it but it can be really inconvenient

I literally just fought against one of these hackers. They turn invisible and teleport across the map :/
our home point was contested within 1 second of the game starting

I know I got mine from a “Wyvern Cache” so you could try farming those also

Ayrilana.1396:

Correct! Not only approx every 12 weeks will we do a big seasonal update. You’ll also see updates between seasonal updates.

Content like raids, pvp leagues, living world, festivals, and WvW tournaments are all things you’d find happening between seasonal updates as the year progresses. (this “winter” season we’ve got a festival, raid, and pvp league kick off planned before spring.)

Things like new fractals, new legendaries, WvW updates, new PvP maps, quality of life updates, etc. are all the type of stuff that’d come with our seasonal updates.

Hope that helps a bit!

So there’s a chance we’ll get the next batch by Spring.

Edit: Also, do you think the attached image could be a new legendary sword?

The sword in that image looks pretty much exactly like the sword from the 3rd year Birthday Finisher so I doubt that’s the legendary sword esp since this screenshot looks like it was taken in PvP

I hate everything about the glowing rug/disco pad. It never provides useful information, it looks ugly and out of place, and it obscures some aoes and the terrain in general.

Also the “music” it emits (which honestly just sounds like one note played repeatedly) is awful and I hate that I have to disable player instruments to stay somewhat sane while using glint

5000ish gold….. 5 achievement points lol

congrats tho

Very well written and summarizes my exact feelings towards HoT too. I even have the time to do all these metas and raids if I wanted to but it is way too exhausting and stressful. I play video games to de-stress not adopt another job

I had all the specializations unlocked and the first mushroom I killed gave me credit for Bo :/

I think it might be random. I got my Herald’s on like the fifth mushroom I think

you don’t need to complete the original personal story at all. I completed the entire HoT story on a revenant who never did the first step of the core game personal story.

oh wow that is excellent news then. thanks for the confirmation/info Iris and Miku!

i could see condi ranger shining in an organized group where aggro is well maintained and managed then. spotter and spirits and their own condi burst can really help burn down the red guardian (at split) as well as contributing good dps for the vale guardian. sinister engis are really really strong but a solid sinister ranger could be a valuable asset as well tbh.

im curious to see the comps of further successful runs on release tbh

Skoigoth.9238:

I´m curious, did anyone here tried to run Condi Ranger? I wonder how hard it is to keep the spirits up with all AoE-stuff going on.

i didnt play condi ranger (i was on revenant) but i raided a lot with pugs and im not sure condi ranger would be ideal in this setting unfortunately.

there is a lot of random aoe being thrown out constantly making spirits almost useless. the boss moves a lot thus limiting the ranger’s condi damage since so much of it is reliant on bonfire and flame trap. Sinister engi is the way to go it seems for the condi groups. Sinister guard might work but i dont know much about them or the dps difference

I would help a lot if you posted your build

Positioning is extremely important for necro in pvp. You usually don’t want to go running into the middle of the point. Use the terrain to LoS your opponents

Switch out one of your utilities to corrupt boon maybe if you’re having trouble against eles and guards

If you are being bursted a lot very easily try running vamp runes especially in this burst heavy meta…. they save lives

I could offer more specific advice if you posted/linked your build

I feel like Revenant either needs weapon swapping or a complete overhaul when it comes to weapon skills and utilities.

Weapon swapping would give the benefit of a lot more customization to the players (something Revenant is sorely missing tbh) and could potentially be easier to implement than trying to customize each weapon around whatever legend you’re using

Weapon swapping would also solve the issue of being stuck in melee against 1200 range opponents or difficult pve encounters. I feel it would also add more skillfull play and combos to the Revenant making it a bit higher skill initially but more rewarding and fun

I just feel the Revenant’s potential is crushed by being pigeonholed so much currently

Victuswolf.5286:

They call it a red panda mini when it looks nothing like a panda. Why? It looks like a fox or re-textured low res raccoon.

Was that mini made in china? It would explain the low quality and calling it a panda when it’s not :P

it’s based off of an actual animal that is called the red panda but looks nothing like a panda so it is quite accurate

Dante.6352:

Oh,i couldn’t find it because i am human…Anything that looks similar ?

you could try the arah heavy armor bottoms for females…. they’re somewhat similar

fractal leaderboard

skills are taking 5-20 seconds to activate…. honestly you can barely even auto attack half the time
I don’t experience any lag in any other game modes but I barely see the point of logging on anymore

When will you fix the current atrocious lag in the wvw maps that happened since last patch?

your new map is useless if we can’t even fire off a skill in the current maps

Also experiencing the lag, mostly in wvw maps, probably just gonna log off for the night since it’s not worth it

It’s not just EU players… in many of the links listed in the thread there are NA players experiencing the same exact issues. Anyways to answer your questions:
Location: NA, Florida to be exact
Time and Date of Incident: Ongoing/non-stop since the September feature pack (this is when the game became unplayable), however the latency has been prevalent since the DDoS attacks from a month or two ago
Game World: NA Crystal Desert, had the lag prior to the feature pack on Jade Quarry also
Description: extreme skill latency, rubber banding, lag spikes lasting about 5 seconds

1. No, it happens on every map I have played on in the game which includes: all WvW maps, PvP maps, PvP lobby, PvE maps, PvE dungeons
2. About 5 seconds
3. All 5 experienced lag
4. The lag occurs during all times of the day
5. The Feature Pack definitely introduced it at its worst but the lag has been present since the first DDoS attacks from a month or two? ago
6. I do not experience lag while playing other MMOs not affiliated with NCsoft. I don’t play any other NCsoft games so idk
7. NA
8. NA
9. NA

still having awful lag in wvw and pve maps :/, Crystal Desert server
ip: 64.25.33.78:0

MauricioCezar.2673:

Not sure if those were always there, but the necro staff skills now adds a really cool scythe animation to the stave

PS: No, that staff is not final rest. Its the HoM reward staff.

That has been there from the beginning or near beginning

the lag is gone in regular maps but in wvw it is still atrocious for me at least

Also having bad skill lag since patch making wvw virtually unplayable :/
I’m in Florida with ip: 64.25.38.200:0

I’d like to join as a student. I have every class at level 80 and have done most of the dungeons and their paths, but I’d like to become better at them with all the classes.

1. Ranger
2. Elementalist
3. Necromancer

This is also happening to me as well. I can do everything else normally but the moment I click on the achievements the client crashes :/
