I’ve gotten this bug so many times (basically everytime I try using the TP) it’s got to the point where it’s so annoying that instead of taking me just a few seconds to list or buy something on the TP it taking me several minutes. Nothing worst when you end up paying more for something than you wanted to when setting a buy now price. You click to lower a buy now price by a couple of silver and end up increasing it by a couple of gold instead. >_<
Yeah I’m getting this too, my Asura Engineer is saying really odd things randomly in a Human, Charr or Norn accent both male and female (Haven’t heard him talk like a Slyvari yet though). Thought it was Strange when I heard a Human Female Voice Saying “Stand Your Ground” and “Retreat” when there was no one anywhere near me…. Was kinda spooky when your in your Home Instance in Rata Sum.
The fix worked for me, I just had the Guild Chat flashing on new messages and when I clicked it there was nothing there, I couldn’t even see what I said or anyone else. I set myself invisible for a few minutes then set it back to online and it worked. I hope they fix this bug and all the others that have came up since the latest patch.
I’ll try that with Shatterer, I’m sure I’ve tried it before and made no difference but I can’t remember so I’ll give it another shot as its worth a try.
Seems the be happening frequently with the Shatterer as I haven’t had a single chest or bonus chest spawn when the shatterer is defeated for the past 4 days no matter how many times I do it.
I’m sure I’m not the only one having this issue but for some reason when I do a World Event / World Boss from start to finish I’m getting nothing. No chest spawning and no bonus chests either for doing it for the very first time of the day. Some work fine while others nothing spawns. Happen to The Shatterer and Shadow Behemoth. I haven’t tried the others but The Maw and The Jungle Wurm seemed to work fine.
Hmm I’m having the same issue, can’t sell anything as the right panel just comes up blank. Tried restarted the client and the process and still nothing.
Hmm that’s odd it doesn’t do that for me. I’ll try and removed all the dye from one armor set and see if that makes a difference. It might just need to update the cache or something as any new armor it uses the same colours as the previous armor.
One thing that kinda annoys me with the armor and dyes is that if you have more than one armor set you can’t have them set as two different colour schemes. Like if you have a Berserker set and you want it t be a red theme for example and you also happen to have a Cleric set but you want that set to be blue you can’t. It really sucks how once you dye one set its character based rather than armor based. I have a Guardian with both a Durmand Priory armor set and a Vigil armor set and I would like them to have different colour schemes but I cant. I have the colour for the Vigil perfect but as soon as I equip the Durmand Priory armor it just looks horrible colour scheme as the colour isn’t in the right parts of the armor etc. Could we one day have the dye changed from character based to individual armor based? That way you could if you wanted to have two helmets of the same but both different colours. Kinda like we could in Guild Wars.
One another note another thing that annoyed me with the last feather patch is do do with the wardrobe is that you spend almost 9 gold to unlock Order armor just for the skins then the armor only being rare is no longer any use to you, it would be nice if we could salvage it at least or have it purchasable as skins not armor at a cheaper price or something.
I mistakenly purchased a bank Tab Expansion without knowing I had already reached the limit or the expansions and this made me think that there really should be a warning like there is on the Basic Node Pack and I think the Collections Expander that has this warning in it saying “You have already purchased the maximum number of this item”. I don’t understand why the Bank Tab Expansion doesn’t include this warning as if it did I would have known I had the max and wouldn’t have been purchased the upgrade and waste my gems. Could this be implemented with any Gem Store item that has a limit on how many you may purchase or use?
When are we going to get DirectX 11 support? Its been over a year now surely it doesn’t take this long? I know you guys are busy with other things but it would be really nice to have DirectX 11 support as the game probably would run so much better with DirectX 11 or even DirectX 10 (Not to mention that it would look even more gorgeous than it already does.)
I know this probably gets asked a lot but I haven’t really seen anything official from anyone from Arenanet with regards to this question other than on your official Facebook page like over a year ago…
Yeah the lag I get it like talking to a NPC takes like a minute or two for the screen to pop up. Some times when you activate a skill its takes just as long for anything to happen and by that time your probably dead but don’t know it yet. After restarting the client three or four times it comes right. I use BattlePing and even that has trouble with the lag and it works flawlessly nine of of ten times. When I lag its usually doesn’t matter whether I’m using BattlePing or not as I usually shut it down just to rule it out..
Your not the only one that has noticed it, I’m starting to lag when I never did (not as often and when I do it was hardly noticeable) . Playing World vs World is now next to impossible with the lag, try and run away from a zerg only to be rubber banded back into the middle of it not once but two or three times…
We really need an option to defrag the Gw.dat file as new content every fortnight is just going to make the game more and more slow to load, since the latest patch its taking me one or two maybe even three minutes to load Lion’s Arch when loading the client/ game for the first time.
Was kinda hoping to have someone from Arenanet would have at the very least acknowledge this topic by replying or something but that’s probably wishful thinking….
Oh and I really do not fancy re downloading the game every two weeks just to a clean Gw.dat when that would use up my monthly bandwidth allowance…. I don’t fancy being capped at dial-up speeds thank you very much lol
I’ll keep this question simple: Why do I have to keep re-adding my saved credit card? I can save it but I have to delete it and re enter it almost every time I want to purchase gems, this is beginning to get a little irritating..
Isn’t the point in saving the credit card details is so that you don’t have to keep adding it with every transaction or purchase?
I know this has been mentioned, reported, asked, complained about etc etc but I just have to ask myself and hope to get some sort of reply from Arenanet on it.
What in the Underworld is going on with the map loading times of late? Its getting slower and slower after each patch. I’m running a brand new Samsung SSD EVO and the loading times just for Lions Arch for example can take up to or even over a minute to load… This is not one for a game that has been out for over a year, I’m getting tot he point where I really don’t give a skritt about new living stories etc as of right now I care little for living stories etc and more about the performance of the games that seems to be deteriorating faster and faster with every patch and living story released. When the game first released I could load Lions Arch for example or any map within seconds now its like within minutes….
The loading times between my SSD and my Western Digital VelociRaptor is not much different, SSD might load a couple of seconds faster than the VelociRaptor (even after several defragmentations….
I dare not actually time the loading times with a stopwatch in fair of having a heart attack at the results…
Trying to do any meta events or world boss events etc is insanely unplayable to the extreme insanely bad lag. I can post something in /say and it takes over two minutes for it to show up. No skills work as it takes several minutes for anything to happen. My character can stand there doing nothing and all I see is no one else moving or just the skill and spell effects flashing etc.
Areananet could you please update us on what’s going on with the insane server lag during these big events. Some of us are starting to feel that we are being ignored as you don’t care about the fact that your game is unplayable at times due to the server lag. How are we suppose to enjoy these awesome champion bosses, world bosses, meta events etc when we can’t even play or contribute to the event. We can be there from the start and get nothing at the end because of the lag.
I’m using BattlePing and that helps with the lag everywhere else but these meta events etc that have just been insanely bad and laggy since the last patch.
The game is no longer playable for me, takes forever to load into maps (I can hear battles etc nearby, npc’s talking and other background noise before the map even loads past the loading screen) and I can’t even join events because all I can do is stand around watching the icons on my skill bar flashing constantly without anything happening for over a minute or two….
Yeah the issue it for all champions I’m noticing as I’m right now farming Orr and 9/10 champions are not dropping anything let a lone their chests. Some of them are dropping but they are not showing up are very small so you have to hammer/ spam the “F” key as you run around the corpses in hope to get something.
Anet a little tip here if your reading this, could you please make the chests more visible somehow for the ones that actually do spawn? Some of the chest are the big one that you get at the end of a dungeon and they are pretty hard to miss but some are small like the ones that drop when you get a rare item. Maybe have a big bright green arrow above the chest pointing down so you really cant miss it.
This is a widespread bug with all champions. Was farming Orr the other day and there where the odd champion that the whole group or most of us didn’t get a drop after killing it.
Yeah I’ve just killed two legendary champions in a row and didn’t get a single drop off them. No champion chest nothing, not even junk item… (I still got the Gold medal for involvement on both)
Oh before I forget the the legendary champions where Sparcus Firesplash and Pyroxis.
There is one Issue I have noticed recently with the Giant Jungle Worm is the massive lag spikes. I just tried the event and the event not long started and the Wurms health was 75% to 80% and as soon as I got within skill rang of it I couldn’t cast any spells or use any skills. The lag was only effecting my skills and preventing me from using any, The wurm was moving as was other players (but their skills were not working for as far as I could see), Chat was working fine as I could send and receive messages normally. Then all of a sudden after like 30 seconds to 1 minute the Wurm would just drop dead and event over and I got nothing for it. Then everything went back to normal, it just causes major lag when it spawns and game become unplayable until it dies. The Fire Elemental does this also on rare occasions but no where near as often or as bad the the Giant Jungle Wurm.
I’ve been trying to find a Rabid Scepter for my necromancer and since I’m having a hard time trying to find a exotic one with the rabid attribute was wondering if I transmuted a rabid rare scepter with a exotic one would the stats stay as rare or be upgraded to exotic?
If that makes sense. I want to change the skin of a rabid rare scepter to a exotic for the skin and hoping that I can change the exotic weapons stats to rabid like the original but have it upgraded to the equivalent rare, if that makes sense.
I’m thinking thakittens probably best to just transmute two exotic’s.
I’m glad to know its not just me that’s having this problem, even better to have Arenanet acknowledged and reply to my issue.
My windows is up to date to the point that there is no more updates unless ones came out in the last week since I updated last. I highly doubt its a windows issue as I’ve never had the problem since either The Gathering Storm or Flame and Frost. Not sure which one but the issue been pretty recent anyway.
I’ll give the Tab Key solution a try the next time it happens if I remember that is and I’ll let you know how I get on.
Oh and as for doing a client repair, I’ve done several of them and made absolutely no difference at all as far as i could see there was no errors or files corrupted detected.
I doubt its my mouse as its only started and I’ve had my mouse for some time now.
Thank you Ashley Segovia for your reply, it’s great to know Arenanet does in fact read these forms and pay attention as well as care. Other may say differently or have said differently in the past. I’ve not had the mouse bug in the last couple of days since the latest patch but its pretty random so I’ll generate a report for you and attach it to the thread as knowing my luck the bug will pop-up after saying that it hasn’t for a couple of days.
First to note, this should probably be in the bugs sub-forum, not in the Technical Support sub-forum.
I have ran into this bug before, it normally happens a couple times a month and I can’t remember when it started, but it was at least 4-5 months ago. I do the same as you to resolve it, I pop a quick alt-f4 out of anger and re-log into the game. It fixes the problem and I move on my merry way.
That was where I posted this topic originally and its been almost a week or so and not a single reply. Hence why I tried here. I usually find posting anything on these forums to be a complete and utter waste of time as 99% of the time no one reads the topic/post let alone answer any of them as most of the time the topics you post get drowned out with newer ones before anyone can even get a glimpse of your topic.
In the last week or two I have noticed a rather annoying bug regarding the mouse, randomly after playing for a several hours or so I find that I cant click on anything like NPC’s, Mobs or Crafting nodes etc. If I exit the game and log back in again it starts to work again. This is a real annoyance when your in the middle of a dungeon and your the leader as you cant just exit the game to fix the bug as the whole party gets kicked out of the dungeon and you also really cant do the same thing when doing fractals either.
Anyone else game across this issue with the mouse randomly stopping you from clicking on a NPC, Mob or item to target?

Have you tried BattlePing? it might help as I had the exact same problem and ever since I started using it a couple of days ago I’ve had no problems at all with lag.
I cant even patch the client because as soon as I open the client it says the download has failed. Was working fine until the latest patch…
Never mind I fixed it by deleting the Gw2.tmp file, as soon as i deleted it and ran it its now patching as we speak…..
Spoke too soon after like 30 second it failed, had to restart the client to patch again. It’s failing on every file. As soon as it downloads one file it fails on the next file….
This is going to be one very long download for 144 odd files….
If I delete the Gw2.tmp file as soon as it reappears after restarting the client it’ll down load a few files before stopping.
Want to fix your lag? Try BattlePing, I started using it and its made a huge difference, virtually no lag. Was getting disconnected every 20 minutes to the character selection screen until I purchased BattlePing and it really works sweet as! I strongly recommend it as its only costs like $6 or so a month for me and its worth such small change. For the price of a beer, a cup of coffee or a sandwich its worth being lag free.
It’s been almost a month and the lag issue is still a major problem not just for me but many, many, many people. The lag has gotten worst since it first started, it started off as just a irritation and now the game is basically unplayable at times. A problem that makes the game virtual unplayable for so many people should take priority over anything else. This lag problem needs to be fixed asap!
I started playing shortly after I got home about 2:45pm NZ time and it started off fine, had a slight lag that was just barely noticeable and over the afternoon it got progressively worst throughout the afternoon to the point it was unplayable. I tried doing map completion and discover a point of interest or way point and nothing. Run circles around it and nothing, then two minutes later I get all these newly discovered way points, points of interests etc. Tried guesting on another home world, lag was slightly better but still rather unplayable. Click on a skill to attack a foe and nothing…. then all your skills are activated at once and your either dead or your foe is dead without a scratch to you. I really wish Anet had a server or two in Australia and/or New Zealand would make our playing experience so much better.
I’m from New Zealand not Australia and as you already know having the same issues. I could run around in a dungeon and keep up with my party and that, disconnected once or twice. One stage everyone but me disconnected but I lagged so bad for so long that I never even saw them disconnect. They where able to disconnect and re-login some time before my lag spike recovered. It was like we disconnected at the same time but it never showed up on my screen. I dunno if I did as the lag was pretty bad. I was chatting in the Party Chat and there was a little delay then at one point nothing at all was showing up, then all of a sudden several minutes later I get a flood of my relies as well as my party’s. At one point after that the chat log was wiped/ reset and that’s when other people wondered if they got disconnected or not.
Sea of Sorrows for me. I’ve given up on wvw for today as the lag is the worst i’ve ever seen it. Even pve is almost unplayable with constant disconnects and massive server lag. Everything was fine yesterday, but today is like nothing i’ve ever encountered.
I’m experiencing it also on Sea of Sorrows. Are you getting several minutes lag spikes?
Since the maintenance the lag I’m getting is worst than before, its virtually unplayable…. I’m getting disconnected from the came and reconnected without even seeing it happen. I lag for several minutes then it goes back to normal like nothing happened.
It’s not my hardware I know that for a fact as for the -repair command I’m in the process of doing that now. Was working fine last night just not today. Guild Wars 2 did crash on me the first time I logged in this morning, all I got was a black screen and it stopped responding. Did a -diag and attached the report.
This morning I thought I would jump on Guild Wars 2 and play a bit and that was short lived….. I just cant attack anything or be attacked by anything as soon as I try attacking I get major lag and the frame rate plummets to like 0. I can run around good as gold, talk to NPC with no trouble, watch cut-scenes smooth as but attacking anything….. Well I might as well give up as it becomes unplayable until I killed what ever is being attacked then everything is sweet as until I try attacking something else.
Is anyone finding the game to be really laggy atm? I was fine all day up until a few hours ago it started to lag a little bit, nothing major just enough to be annoying but still playable. Now however the lags gotten worst to the point its almost unplayable. You activate a skill and wait for 10 second, 30 seconds, one minute or so before anything happens. You also get killed without being hit that you can see as the lag kills you before you even know your being attacked.
I purchased two winters day mini pets through the gem store before the event finished. I was charged for them but never got them. Been waiting for over a week now and still have not got them. I really would like to know whats happening and why I never got them. It’s pretty frustrating.
That’s the first thing I did, rebooted the router several times. Played other games and had no problems at all. Played Battlefield 3 and had no disconnects or even lag (more so than normal anyway).
Today its working fine just inconstantly bad yesterday… =/
What is wrong with the servers today? I cannot play the game for more than five minutes, I’m lucky to last one minute before I either get major lag and disconnect or just disconnect without any lag or even warning. This has been going on all darn day. When it first started it would disconnect randomly like after an hour or longer and slowly I was getting disconnected more and more frequently now its got tot he point where its beyond a joke and the game is unplayable. I’m trying to kill a champion or something or do an event and I lag out and die without a chance to heal or even move, or just get disconnected and have to start over again due to a slight roll back….
I’ve noticed the map loading times are now dreadfully slow (slower than normal) and in lions arch and other outposts etc my frame-rate is taking a dive and plummeting from 60 to almost 0…. Never use to be this bad
