Guild Wars 2

While I did not experience lag at the time of the patch, I do notice it today. According to Win7 resource monitor the network lag is 1500-2000ms when it used to be around 400-500ms. Relogging did not help. And this seems to be a problem at the servers’ end since I do not have such problem with other games such as League of Legends or Lord of the Rings Online.

Skills are activated after 2s, and my pet seems to have problems following me around.

Yes bandits are bugged as hell now. At Brisbane Wildlands, the bandits can spam knockdown moves such as Hammer Spin and Shoot Rifle. This causes you to be knocked down repeatedly before you can even get up. The only way to avoid this is to evade and even then your endurance will probably be used up before you can get out of their range.

Similarly with Bandit mages, they spam fireballs which hit for 600s on my 2.2k HP Lv 36 Guardian.

Gave up after 30 minutes when my best try wasn’t even halfway there.

I am glad I did considering how some people spent 6+hrs on it and still couldn’t make it to the top. I am also glad that you don’t need that for the Halloween title.

This is similar to AFK leveling using pets and considered an exploit in almost all MMORPGs.

Auto-attack was intended to help players by not having to keep pressing the same key over and over in active play, it was not intended so people can leave their character at or near a spawn spot and come back hours later with rewards. Like the karma item bug earlier most people know it is wrong, but they still chance it for the potential rewards.

I highly doubt that someone who went AFK for 10 minutes for drinks/bathroom breaks/emergencies would get banned his way. It is the people who went AFK for extended peroids of time who are considered exploiting and thus are banned.

As for “it is not wrong because it is in the game”….so are bugs and spots where you can attack monsters but they cannot come to you due to pathing issues. Doing it once or twice would probably be tolerated, but intentionally exploiting it would be bannable in any MMORPG.

Bought 4000gems with $50 which went through, but when I tried to buy a character slot with 800 gems, the gems were deducted but there is no new character slot even after logging off and on again.

This happened at around 2am GMT+8 11/09/2012.

Update: At 15:47 GMT+8 11/9/2012, I notice that 800 gems have been refunded bringing the balance back to 4000. Waiting on confirmation as to whether character slot purchases have been fixed so I can make my purchase.
