I do know that a Link between Perth and Singapore is down, forcing a lot of traffic to be routed through other paths. This could be the problem as you live on the East Coast it could be general lag in the path to USA shores. No idea when the Link will be repaired. Check your ISP and ask them if they know when it will be fixed ,also inform of the lag you are getting.
I am deaf and have no desire to use SMS now its seems its going to happen. This morning when i got up i was excited to be able to participate in HoT Beta. I login to GW2 and after i enter all my details ,it asks to use SMS or remind later. Why as a person with deafness should i be forced to buy a mobile phone that i cannot use ,and not forgetting the added expense.
Now i feel upset and puts me off from playing GW2 and its expansion if i have to fight this move. Knowing full well it will probably kick in the SMS option compulsory soon.
Why not a system like GW1 where you need to enter a name of a created character. It seems ANET is missing the point that some players have disabilities.
Should i have to walk away from playing GW2 because i cannot use or access a SMS device. It seems discrimination is at play here ,something which upsets me.
I for one am dead against this SMS system ,i know it protects accounts and such. But as i am deaf i do not own a mobile phone nor intend to prove myself to anyone. I have left WoW over their Authenticator and never want to see one again. As my ISP rotates our IP address regularly it haunts me to enter a code every 3-4 days. ANET should have a better system than blame shifting back on too the player. I thought ANET already had a IP Tracker for security.
If ANET force players to use this Authentication i can see many forms of Discrimination taking place against its users. Especially those with deafness and other issues and handicaps affected.
My client was lagging badly and it was just starting a Breach event in Silverwastes. Most on the map where reporting heavy lag too ,even a guildy on another map.
But when i logged out client crashed with leaks detected in client. So i sent a report off to ANET.
Ok , 2 problems seem to be appearing and fueling these hate responses;
1) Guilds are split up and cannot complete Guild Missions unless extensive taxiing.
2) Getting to events and unable to complete events as you get moved into a map either event is completed or nearly finished.
Solution;
1) Let Guild Leaders and Officers perform a function to summon a Guild to a certain map or be on the same map to perform the summon.
2) Provide a Taxi NPC on every map to the map where the player wishes to go. For example as maps are layered maybe a symbol in the top left or Lower right hand could indicate the map number. Then the player would select Taxi NPC and say maybe for 1s fee be ported to the Map number required. Players could say Event is located on Map number on this Map. Cities could provide a NPC that ports anywhere on any map for a higher fee for example 5s or even 10s.
Trying to complete this part of the story is very hard almost in fact i think it may be bugged. The Devourer at the end keeps healing itself at %50. The area to which it spawns seems like it moves from that location it heals itself. The 2 NPC’s die in one shot which does not seem right but also making it harder with no assistance. Being a Siege Attack from Devourer their should be at least be some protection like LOS but not even hiding helps.
I am getting so Angry i cannot complete it i feel like just abandoning my character i created. With these Events on no one is interested in helping.
The devourer and Untamed Wild Story is too hard in its current form.
Looking at this game it seems to be designed around the zerg ,which is wrong. When you reinforce a Wall it should take longer or at least show its reinforced. At the present it does not. Why not have two walls one outer and one the inner the reinforced wall ,so they take down the outer but still need to take down the reinforced section.
In real battles a Castle battle to take down a wall would take anywhere near 2-3 hours or even longer ,why not make these battle last for 15mins (min).
With NPC’s they seem like blobs just standing their ,a enemy can attack them before the NPC reacts which is wrong.
As for Attackers and AoE that needs to change as on those angles of Attack the Wall should have deflected the attacks.
Rams need to change so players they are slowed down ,maybe allow defenders to reinforce doors under attack.
Having just started to level 2 characters i have noticed the new leveling system very boring.In fact its better and faster to just jump into WvW. With PVE leveling will their be a better way to level up as such now you get so little xp for doing anything.
Also in the Story leading up too killing Zhaitan i have noticed the the NPC’s are not as good as they should be. Almost not performing tasks as they should like evade,healing and rezzing. They are more of a hinderance than a help to you. Is this a bug or intentional as it stops many from completing this story.
Also in WvW since the League Matchups the WvW community seems to be more divided that previous with using Voip apps. With player such as myself who are partially deaf and those with Low End computers we cannot use these voip apps. To be deaf is one thing to be punished in game that is another story. Will their be a better form of mapchat allowing commanders to use mapchat better rather than rely on voip apps.
I have issues with jumping and cannot do anything with jumping involved. Feeling that Jumping should be a option ,not compulsory to complete a event. Its feels discriminatory that their is no other option to complete this event. Some say its easy but others say its hard ,why is this event separating the community. Its a RPG style game not a console game.
Having just learned to do AC i can see the problems with pugs are not the dungeon ,but the community. We all like to think AC as the next CoF speed run ,in fact it requires more skill. P1 is a pain even with those who know it. Timing is also a problem if one person stops kiting or a Elemental is not at then things slow down. Most usually with a Party wipe and players leave.
It looks as if the community is already divided and we expect professional players to do dungeons now ,which is bad.Most Pugs are bad because no one gives them a chance ,or allows them to learn. Its not WoW its Guild Wars 2 why the rush ? Enjoy and pass that experience on too others.
Dungeons are called dungeons for a purpose its not a speed racing circuit.
I left WoW over gear checks and it was pleasure that no one could see my stats or gear in here. If you want a Gear Score then you will see massive amounts of players leaving the game. WoW divided its community through gear checks ,please leave it out of GW2.
