Guild Wars 2

As someone who does pvp/wvw on guard i absolutely love shout virtue guardian. That being said for dueling you can with it but medi is better suited.

soo was on bgbl no blobs on the map had a small like 6v6 in hills and at least the 6 of us in ts were all lagging

Stephen ClarkeWillson.1802:

I don’t think it is the skill change. I do think the thing we did to reduce PvP (and also some PvE) lag made WvW lag worse; or, put the opposite way, WvW lag was bleeding over into the other map types, and we fixed that. The silver lining as they say is that the perf counters are more accurate than they were and I think I see the problem now; it’s going take some engineering to fix properly but I have a band-aid in place now that reduces the occurrences (at least as I perceive them via my graphs).

where has this guy been…..i think i may have found true love he comes in on a saturday, works on a wvw problem gives continual updates…..if this man fixes our problems he is due a raise.

what i mean to say is thanks

So it appears that i have got somebodys attention so can we get a dev respond on the lag.

Things I know:

I) there was an AoE cap to fix lag way back because servers couldn’t handle it
2) the stability change incurred more calculations
3) WvW has become significantly more laggy since the change
4) Large parts of the community across at least the T1 servers have been stating this with no response

Can we undo this change until a time in which these changes can be implemented in a way that doesn’t make 20-35% of your players not want to play because of the lag.

Bakuon………i know science im named after a cheese the tastiest thing of science

coglin.1867:

And two, claim it has to do with stability, when there is no evidence of that. An example of that would be some of the previous updates that caused specific folks to have lag, that only changed what would outwardly appear as very insignificant.

The only “proof” that is out there is the fact after the changes WvW has become significantly more laggy whether this has to be directly linked to stability calculations on top of normal wvw calculations, or if theres bad code or a bug, or just pure coincidence i cannot pinpoint the exact reason I do however feel that a vast majority of the community is having this experience after the patch.

if you read my post you will see im not against the stab changes, i am however against the incredible amount of lag that it, allegedly and i believe to be true, has caused. To answer your question about why i started a new topic is was simply i have posted a solution to fix the lag until they have a means of implementing it that doesnt cause it to lag as much.

Now if you believe that only myself and a small minority are experiencing this problem since the changes then maybe it only effected blackgate, and tarnished coast, and every other server not named jade quarry i cannot force you to accept anything i am saying.

Despite the amount of people who share my same thought you continue to believe that there is no problem and that is fine, even for health related things its only 9 out of 10 doctors recommend, you get to be that 1 doctor who has to disagree and you are entitled to that. All that being said i think you are mistaking these forums for http://www.gw2wvw.net/topic/jq-tc-bg-327

I feel if it were as kittenome are mentioning here, we would have 10 pages of complaints a day, yet this thread is still on the first page.

coglin.1867:

What about the majority of player? You know, the ones who are not having any lag?

Who is that the people in AC? Everybody in any borderland (at least on BG) is lagging during large fights and moreso than what it was before.

However, if you believe I am the minority in the lag then please sell me some of what ever you are smoking.

Let’s not turn this into a flame war. Instead let’s all just agree the changes have made the lag unbearable and to take back the changes and go back to normal lag until there comes a time in which the changes can be made and the only thing effected is the meta.

Regardless of the the reason, the stab changes made the lag worse I still believe it is server overload with calculations the lag problem has been drastically worsened. I’m quoting off of ts “It’s sad when Eradon Terrace is lagging”. The lag makes the game unplayable and at least until they find a better implementation the bet course of action would be to revert the change.

Reverting the change would be to fix a lot of the lag and i don’t see better servers being an option. The number of calculations is too much for the servers to handle. I think the stab changes are a good idea but id eather be able to play the game instead.

If they find a way to implement this without the lag im all for these changes, but a man has to know his limitations.

I was making a comparison the garri treb was kitten near impossible to take out the same way that 1 ac placed in a spot that cant be hit outside of building another ac that has a huge range of view now and if they get on the ac first they win. This does not promote thr smaller dcale fights they are trying to promote.

As someone who leads small ops forces in T1 i appreciate you guys making an attempt to promote this in WvW. However, the stab and camera changes do exactly the opposite. Stab changes promoted even more blobbing and a considerable amount more lag. The stab changes don’t really change PvE or PvP mostly because stab in PvE is practically not used and in PvP playing bunk guard I haven’t noticed any difference. It only effects WvW.

The camera changes just make arrow carts ridiculous trebbing bay from garrison ridiculous.

As i have stated before i appreciate the attempt to better thr WvW experience but let’s admit these changes were a bust. So just like the positive feedback you’re getting for the story being reverted lets do the samefor this.

one is the only number you can ever use
i wanted to use my two but in wvw i cant even use my one
i was told that theres a way i could fix the lag
but id need a new computer and updated drivers

The problem with wvw isn’t the stab changes. The problem is what we as players turned it into and how the only thing we want is bags. Granted this is due to the fact you can wvw for hours a day and get for all practical purposes no rewards. There is no real reason to defend. Those are things that anet can and should address but what they can’t do it s break up the ac fights and the 80v80 lag blob 1 spam travesty people call a fight. The stab changes just make this slightly more difficult but in smaller scale fight the stab changes have been negligible. Not saying that you should change your play style if thats your thing hell go for it but because it has become more difficult to 1 spam shouldn’t be a complaint. The game has become easy enough as it is.

Thanks for the response at least in not delusional

I only have gotten this on the 31-40 tier but, the ice elemental no longer gets smaller the more damage you do to it and the swirling winds knockback kitten attack seems to happen more frequently. Also the svanir shaman seems to do his ice breath much more frequently than i remember. Am i delusional, or is this a change that was supposed to take place or just something else that got broken in the original patch?

A friend has put in a ticket 3 days or so ago and hasn’t got any response from it, was just curious if there was a heavy load of support tickets with loads of players coming back or if she needed to do something else.

After this patch the crafting vendors no longer sell this item. Where did it go? or How are we supposed to acquire them?

So as most people know that the unidentified dyes will no longer drop in the upcoming patch and the bifrost requires a stack of them. Will the recipe to make said bifrost change at this point or are people going to have to spend a bunch of laurels/gems for keys to acquire them. As there is negatives for both, people saving them pre patch not having to use them for the recipe or can’t use them, or making it near impossible for people after the patch or having to dedicate 125 laurels or roughly 3 months (this includes daily and monthly laurels) to purchase them instead of ascended gear they may need.

Just doesn’t seem 100% thought out.

PvP one i heard about was

Ray Charles Needs A Condi Clear [Blnd]

We should just rename chumbawambas tubthumping to account WXP

we should a race making a child or bugs getting fixed which happens first…..my money is on kid being born

Heres a screenie of SoR inside our citadel… also after watching them we have figured out how they are getting up. As to not show numerous players this exploit the way to do it will not be made know publicly on the forums. This however needs to be fixed.

What makes the legendary legendary is the fact that is has all that work involved. There is no reason that it should be account bound because you don’t want to put the work in for another one. I myself have 9 level 80’s and only one legendary, I’m not crying about not being able to use it on all my chars. This argument about work needed to get one justifies it being account bound is ludicrous and lazy. It’s like saying oh I got my obby armor in GW1 once so i should have it unlocked on all my chars. If you want a legendary on another char go make another one. It’s not like there’s a whole lot of end game to consume your time.

No, just no. They aren’t even account bound when you craft them but nothing is still account bound when you equip them. You can sell your legendary if you don’t equip them but once you do just like ascended weapons and everything else in the game its soul bound. They also made karma account bound making getting the karma much easier. They’ve already made getting most of the things in this game too easy.

Blah Blah Blah….stackgate..hackgate…buygate….more like #Believegate let us not pay anymore attention to this JQ whining about not believing Believegate could be the WvW juggernaut and transferring over to JQ. To err is human and must learn from those mistakes.
Hopefully next season schedule is a little more balanced, whatever happened to SoR doesn’t happen again and that they’ll be able to come out in full force and give us some quality fights the whole week as opposed to just the weekend.
So lets stop with the drama and go back to killing each other repeatedly and filling our bags with loot.

Classy server over there on Maguuma. Owned all of our borderlands including Maguumas corner and we were just dueling outside of Briar. Nobody did anything sneaky just had fun killing each other. We need more of this type of class across the rest of the servers.

Still think mesmers illusion of life should be changed ot illusion of pain and cuase a perma rez as opposed to vengence

As this week in league play has gotten out of hand already I think we could get a small dueling done on a home borderland. Maybe sunday or monday i was thinking SoS BL as it would seem to be the least hostile.

We would duel in what better place than the Arena Bloodlust Node (SW).

Rules would be this:

1) No interference
2) No Spiking—just fight till downed
3) No Food/Oils

There would be no prize or anything just something fun to do

We could also do a similar thing with 2v2 3v3 4v4 5v5

Can we please add 1 change to mesmer….it would be small and vhelpful to the support versions….change illusion of life to be a hard rez like signet of mercy/signet of undeath/warbanner/glyph of renewal….etc thats it just change the temp rez to a full rez you can even change it form 5 targets to 1 or 3 targets to balance it out.

Nretep.2564:

Move Teq to its own map …

Or this….this works well too

Sparkfly Fen with the recent changes to Teq has brought forth a bunch curiosity and desire to Sparkfly Fen. That being said (at least for Blackgate) it makes it near impossible to get your guild together in the same sparkfly map. My suggestion would be for those bounty targets (Crusader and Mayana) be moved to a different map.

Caudecus’ Manor Butler Path—

Start by fighting scumbag seamus with his perma kd gun attack. Now this isn’t what needs to be changed. The fact that he is a legendary level foe and doesn’t drop any loot even after the champion update, this is what needs to be changed. Please get on this.

It should also be Caudecus’ Manor not Caudecus’s Manor I’m pretty sure.

Guild banners have all sorts of player buffs how about we consider making a WXP banner. T6 Art of War andm aybe 1-3 merits to make but it would be a wonderful addition to us wvwers.

honestly i think the only way that server balance will be achieved is if they open up free transfers fora week. Now before we all poopoo this let me explain

first let me state that i understand that that would allow people to move to higher tier servers… so maybe we limit the servers that can take free transfers. The servers in the “T1” remain as they are and cost to move into, the “T2” server maybe half price and “T3” and lower make free. This would allow for people to move out of the upper tier and become “less stacked”.

so allowing to move down but not up may result in a more fair ability for say the top 6-9 servers to be able to face each other competitively as opposed to only 3 servers that can face each other competitively.

secondly this would allow for more fights on the lower tier servers because there will be more population there to wvw.

this all being said i also realize that it could have negative consequences such as everybody going to stack a now free to transfer to server.

i just feel the best way to solve population problems is to promote a shift in population.

I just want to thank everyone that was in LA today that donated wigs to this cause. It was an endeavor that could not have been done without your support. 23,250 wigs took him 3 chars to empty them all out. It was well played.

Believegate 2013

In one of our main WvW guilds in believegate the server really helped in filling that guild guild bank with whole stacks of wigs. At the end we had 93 stacks of wigs in the bank. Here are some pictures

http://s890.photobucket.com/user/wleon2/media/gw006_zps3e934512.jpg.html – the remnants of a 26k order
http://s890.photobucket.com/user/wleon2/media/gw009_zps47b788cf.jpg.html -and what the guild bank looked like

The title with what is needed to get it is obviously a reference to the emperors new clothes. This is not the empress’ new clothes. It has nothing to do with being sexist or anything. Why are people all kitten about this. Know and accept where the titles come from.

There is a Priority system. Field on bottom (first field laid) get the priority. Your options are lay down your fire field faster or tell the guardian to stop being a troll/nub.

Most classes have a skill to resurrect 1-5 players and its a long cooldown no strings attached rez. Mesmer has 1 but if something doesn’t die in 15 seconds they are full on dead. This in most situations makes illusion of life bad in certain situations i.e. urban battleground final boss fight. I know 1 can run over and hit “f” to rez but usually you will get 1 shotted by a firestorm and now 2 are dead as opposed to one. So cna we rename the skill Illusion of Pain (like guild wars 1) make it the common 180-240 second cooldown but make it full rez 1-3 downed players instead of its current use.

This has gotten ridiculous. You get 1 free achievement chest, 11 titles, a bunch of armor and weapon skins (some with better skins than other in game items), can’t we be happy for what they did give us. And yes i too have gotten gwamm and 50/50 i don’t need more stuff to take up my inventory space.
That being said i did wish that at 50/50 you could put 1 weapon from gw1 into hom to unlock that skin in gw2 ie my envoy staff but im not going to ask for more than what they already have given us.

Warangel Eldrith.9408:

Superior Sigil of Resistance: Gain +10 Toughness after resurrecting a player/npc.

Had a similar thought except call it Sigil of the Juggernaut and you get the +10 Toughness per kill. The longer you kill things the stronger you get. Makes sense.

As someone who enjoys organized WvW I like the fact they are giving out the badges. This mean the people who actually want to WvW can get in more/less queue. So stop with “I got my badges through actually WvW this makes me better than you” or the “Its not fair I had to spend some time in a place I was going to be spending all my time anyways.” Just enjoy the fact more of your guild can be in at once with less queue because less people need to be there.

Another thing this would do is help new commanders. Guilds/Alliances can mass on a Guild Commander and help get the new commander comfortable with the maps and leading groups so they know what to do when they’re attempting to command a zerg of pugs.

Through recent weeks of 20+ fractal runs usually 26 or 28 I’ve accumulated now just about 13 stacks of relics and 40 unused pristine relics over about 6-8 weeks doing them on average 5 times a week. In doing so I got the fractal harpoon on the second trip in. Since then I have gotten 2 rings over almost a 2 month time frame. I know they’re supposed to be rare but come on 2 months of it and not seeing anything remotely useful.

So my proposition is this: after level 20+ there is another golem merchant that will trade relics for pristine and pristine for weapons. This would solve a few problems like the over abundance of regular relics, making sure only the people who can get them through getting to level 20 are the only people that can still get them but making it less grindy to get them. Lets be honest you wanted the game to not be grindy but almost every aspect has been exactly that grindy.

I’m not asking for oh i did 1 fractal give me my weapon I’m asking that in 8 weeks or so i’ve seen 1 so im just asking for another option so i can at least use the crap that i have collected from attempting to get a fractal sword for nearly 2 months can still be obtained.

throw in the envoy weapon skins too….100 gold z coins was a grind for a staff i got to use for 3 months. But storm bow eternal shield and the obsidian edge bring those back.

I like the idea but maybe a different route. How about instead of easy cash gain for individual people the guilds on that server get a certain bonus influence maybe a few guild banners for free. Make it proportionate per server ie 10k influence for winning server 6k for second place server and 3k for third place server. Numbers aren’t exact but meant as an example.

hahaha didn’t mean name it that i was just hinting towards maybe a wintersday backpiece for the future
