I never have more than 70ish ping and this last week I have been getting ping spike of 700-1200 ping randomly in my home instance, or queued up for fractals or in Lion’s Arch and idk why.
Previously unlocked mini in Black Lion chest?

It’s been 7 days and I made a ticket that hasn’t been answered. Anet has big backlog of tickets X_X
I made a ticket with anet and it’s 7 days old without a response other then the 1st automatic one. I see you have a backlog of tickets. I wondered if you will see my ticket. Also would you consider letting gamers help you answer tickets? ( I can help and you don’t have to pay me if you give me power)
Give me power and I’ll help you with the tickets XD
My ticket is a 7 days old without a response, but I can help if you let me. You don’t even have to pay me.
I was wondering who won?

The problem with JQ not being able to put up with BG is that JQ has a crap ton of sea
players and BG has a lot of NA and pretty much everything. Sea players from JQ should
just spread out to other servers and they should work on getting more NA.
They missed a few guilds, but it’s a nice list. (They are showing guilds that actually do official gvgs.)
There are some videos on youtube and on twitch from Gregor and Dyein I think with the GSA that can show off the gvgs.
If you are on another map sometimes it won’t let you in in time. I’m not sure why the load time is so long
Can anet update their gaming engine?
A friend who knows their wvw stuff said Spellbreaker and Scourge are cool.
They said the guard skills were too slow. They liked holo and weaver.
I want to try out deadeye.
I heard the beta in wvw has been causing lag and crashing. So hopefully that can be fixed.
I’m about to try out some of the things and will get back to this post.
(edited by aandiarie.7195)
It’s probably also because it’s the beta. I bet it’ll work better when it comes out all the way.
it’s even in pve though
I noticed my necro marks don’t respond really unless I push the button a lot :/
What’s going on?
It takes more than a few pushes for it to finally go off
They missed some guilds in the top ten lol.
For people who did the beginning story and had it wiped away can you add an option for the demo to skip the 1st story part and to go to the map so we don’t have to re-repeat it?
In the last 6 months there has been updates to wvw than there has been in the last 5
years!
We have a legendary backpack, stat selectable armor like legendary armor pretty much, a better system for moving up and down. Wvw tracks and also gliding was added. They’ve been adjusting combat skills too.
Basically wvw has been getting slowly adjusted because they don’t want to mess it up.
When the desert bls came up people got upset so the things they are doing are gradual and they test it out.
People just have to have patience.
ALSO When POF comes out next month there will be new specializations. And this armor and backpack and gliding stuff to me felt like an early expansion bonus to wvw.
Wvw is changing for the better recently.
Are these people joking? O_O

Be nice and try to be grateful. Wvw is changing for the better recently.
There is a lot of reasons to not let someone in a squad.
1) if someone won’t get into ts or discord
2)if it a guild only run
3) if you won’t listen to the commander’s commands.
Extra option) Some servers and guilds are more serious and will kick rangers, thieves, and engis, ( and sometimes warriors), on the spot because it doesn’t fit into their zerg comp.
Or if they think you are a spy they don’t want you near them or if you are an uplvl or dying really really fast and have an awful build.
I was just curious if the people who are not getting credit are by themselves, in a party or in a squad.
You have to make a ticket with anet support.
Also if you try to buy somethings multiple times on a website sometimes it won’t work.
Also contact your bank or credit card to see if it on their end.
Here in the US if you make a lot of purchases online that are out of character they may
put a hold on your card or etc.
Maybe try a different card also an/or a different computer elsewhere like at a friend’s house.
I believe they already fixed it.
I just spent an hr in bloodstone fen and mined about 30 nodes and only got 2 rubies. This has never been this broken. The ruby drop rate on the nodes is broken. Please fix it. A whole hr of my life to only get 2 rubies is an insult.
ALSO the NW part of Lake Doric makes me get 4k and 5 k ping and I never get ping spikes ever! The Siren’s call map gives me 900 ping too.
All other maps are normal like 50-70 ping for me.
So the nw part of lake doric needs fixed too.
Also these forums are to list problems that are actual problems and people give advice and possible solutions. Complaining just to complain about anything and everything blocks out the big stuff that actually needs looked at.
Main things that people want looked at mainly right now:
Skill lag in wvw when all 3 server are close to each other
Skill lag on the Siren’s call map for some people ( maybe it’s because a lot of people are on a map’s instance.
Help buying the expansion if it won’t work in the game or website

Try doing a repair client. There are instructions on this website. Also what kind of computer do you have and the specs?
Uncheckmark all the chat things and recheck mark them that fixes it. Not only the chat window box, but there is another box with the settings.
I think a lot of people have been on those maps and maybe that’s doing it.
Pop-up continues appearing, cannot turn off.

It says you have 0 points. Did you earn any or spend them all? There are the red ones and the green ones you can earn then spend.
If you have to get a new computer the website of newegg is a good one and a really nice computer for the price is Asus. I like the i5 or i7 and 1tb is good to have. And a video gaming card with like 900 something or 1000 ish I can’t remeber the exact number, but that thing too.
Maybe try doing a repair on the game, but I hope it isn’t your ram or your gaming card. Ask a computer savy person. I think for me it was my video or gaming card or whatever it’s called that needed fixed when mine would power down.
Also if you have the newest windows, I think it’s called windows 10, that can do some really weird stuff too.
I think I used to have that problem. To fix it I pried off my windows keep and my cap locks key. If you accidently grazed the windows key it will take you to your browser screen. Also check your keybinds and push every button twice hard when the computer is off in case a key is stuck a bit. Also clean out your keyboard with a air spray can. If none of that works try a different keyboard.
I bought mine in game and a friend of mine had an issue, but I talked them through it.
When you enter all the info and the card number and click “buy” if you didn’t click on the word that is the card type it won’t work. Example: you have to click mastercard for mastercard. Just entering all the numbers isn’t good enough.
Also yes the search engine and add blockers and virus protection can freak out about it too.
I actually view roaming as a form of bullying, let me explain. For one it’s not really rewarded with anything significant compared to being in a havoc group or a large zerg. You get low amounts of objective caps and not a ton of kills like you get in zerg, and thus you get low bags and low wxp gain. Therefore it’s not really supported by Anet as being the targeted activity that Anet rewards in wvw.
Second they usually pick players off who are trying to catch up to a havoc or large zerg. Granted, this does have some tactical significance for a server as this slowly reduces the size of the enemy zerg, but unless there are a ton of roamers, (which there usually isn’t because the activity isn’t well rewarded) it’s not enough to really turn the tide for a server unless they are very evenly matched.
Lastly the players who do roam, primarily kill other players who have zerg vs zerg builds which are not designed for 1v1 combat, which of course, the roamers are speced for. Roamers run builds that are heavy with toughness/vitality with tons of leaps and escapes or stealth so they can get in and out of 1v1 combat specifically at will, giving them a huge advantage over other players.
So in summation roaming is an activity that Anet doesn’t really encourages because it’s not very rewarded, roamers even have trouble keeping participation now. Secondly, roamers engage in pvp combat that heavy favors them and their one vs one speced builds, which means it’s almost never a fair fight for those with whom they engage and they usually escape and reset fights when they are put at a disadvantage. And lastly it has minimal impact on the PPT and the server.
So why do roamers engage in pvp that heavily favors them, is low rewarded and has minimal impact to their server? Because they like to bully others.
You have to be kidding me. O_O
I don’t mean to sound mean Jumpin Lumpix.6108 but you may not belong on wvw.
I recommend PVE for you or Minecraft or Lego Star Wars.
World Versus World is the name of this game mode.
You kill, we kill, we all kill. It’s a blood fest of epic proportions and it pits you and your skill
against others ( unless those people blob, use siege, or a lot of condi.
Roaming is another facet of wvw and is like an art. Someone can duel /1v1 someone
and for some it’s tests / challenges their skills or approach.
Also I recommend chocolate milk to enjoy while you do PVE ,Minecraft, or Lego Star
Wars.
I’m just trying to help because you are blaming a game mode on the game mode. O_o
The Chocolate milk always makes me happy (A&E brand is the best) that or coffee, but
if you are getting stressed from wvw caffeine may stress you out and make you tense.
But then again you may just be talking about “gankers” who pick people off, but in a
way that is a teaching process. It teaches you to not let yourself get behind and to learn
your skills and get a better build.

Technical issue with buying POF figured out
in Account & Technical Support
Posted by: aandiarie.7195
I noticed some people had difficulty placing an order for POF online.
If you enter all the information it will tell you error and not why.
After looking at it for a friend we found out if you don’t click the card type it will say error, but not why.
If you click to buy POF ,it doesn’t remind you to select the card type if you forgot to click it, but you need to.
Example: click on Mastercard for a Mastercard.
I just wanted to post to help people struggling in case this helps.
People get so excited to buy it they enter all the data and click buy not realizing the card type needs clicked.
But t3 ascended looks way way more cool though
Generally if you push “g” and you look at the list it should show if people are on and where they are. UNLESS they are set to invisible ( some people do that if they want some peace/quiet) also people may have someone blocked too.
A long time ago there was a guild bug for free to play accounts, but I think that’s over with.
In a way the updates to wvw we have are sort of like an expansion. The changes have helped and are a major step in the right direction.
We now have a legendary backpack and ascended armor you can get from wvw.
The new specializations for the next expansion will help in wvw possibly or make it feel a bit more new.
Anet has been working on balance, server population, match selection changes, improved rewards and etc.
Anet has been making changes to wvw since the 1st expansion and at least they were nice enough to correct the issues from the expansion and work in extra stuff early.
Anet is working on it and I believe there is another big change coming to wvw that will be added before the expansion.
We just have to be patient and constructive in feedback for wvw solutions and ideas.
I wish they’d slightly resize the desert bl so towers would be in support of keeps like they are sized on the alpine maps. It takes twice as long to get anywhere and the towers are placed in an odd spot in comparison to alpine maps.
I also hope that there’d be a new obsidian sanctum that guilds can queue up with to face other guilds from different tiers and guild halls that would support gvgs without having to worry about the map of the guild hall updating so often and making you change maps.
Or maybe they can add another map selection called a battle royale where you queue in with 5,10, 15, or 20 people and you fight in a HUGE maze with monsters and traps and in the center face off and whatever guild is left standing wins wvw pips. They could use the maze from the halloween holiday.

Is there a way to buy the POF expansion and gift it to a friend???
I’ll have mine made in about a year. Congratulations.
Update anet’s engine they use?
All the new pve maps let me use my air skills except the newest one. :o
For the new pve map for the new living story there was a few issues.
A big one is the Dwayna updrafts seem to be a bit buggy and without a pattern and are difficult to navigate.
Another HUGE problem is the other new pve maps allowed us to use our aerial fighting skills, but when we fly on this new map it won’t let us use our old flying fighting skills so fighting in the air you are a sitting duck.
3rd major issue. If you do all the hearts and go to the hidden reliquary area and open a chest there for the jackpot random amount of pearls then it allows you to open a 2nd chest, but the 2nd chest is bugged and won’t give anyone loot.
If you can make the 2nd chest have loot, allow use aerial fighting skills like on bloodstone fen we had for example, and fix the dwayna drafts by either adding one or 2 in or adding directional sort of hints that’d be appreciated.
I went to outnumbered maps and was at max participation for many ticks, but everyone was getting the outnumbered pips but me. I’d have finished my diamond 6/6, but I got jipped. I got 5 pips when I should’ve been getting 10.
I should’ve been counted as finishing diamond I was at 6/6 and the final pips were only giving me the 5 and not 10. I did a crap ton of wvw hrs to get there.
So I missed out on my 40 skirmish tickets and the 6/6 diamond rewards. I was so close, but I couldn’t get the correct pips and I did many wvw hrs.
LOL not everyone who is afk for a while is afk farming. Sometimes you have to go to the bathroom or run into the other room to let dogs outside or etc.
The game recently for wvw has a increased decay timer so people don’t get exp after either 5 or 10 mins. So it isn’t a thing.
Just relax. Anet already gave us a decay timer…. ( which happens too quickly in my opion)
Also people sometimes don’t want to wait in queue and have to go away from their
computer for a bit so they just leave their character either at spawn or at a place they
hope someone won’t get to it.
Tickets can get you other things like the legendary backpack and a gobbler for those wvw things etc
So do bug fixes happen on Reset for wvw today or not until patch days?
The decay change was WAY TOO MUCH! I feel like i’m jumping through hoops and I can’t keep up and it’s complete crap. It’s very frustrating and making me want to go play a different game.
