Guild Wars 2

This just started happening to me tonight while I was in one of the Alpine borderlands, I am unable to stay connected for longer than a minute then I am thrown to the character select screen with this error. I am fine in Lion’s Arch and Divinity’s Reach, the desert borderland seems to be fine too but I didn’t stay long, just long enough to know it wasn’t throwing me out. As soon as I load back into an Alpine map it sends me right back out with this error. Kind of annoying since no one else in my guild is having this issue at all.

1. The overwhelming consensus seems to be to not fix but to do a full revert back to Alpine. I agree.

2. Separate Pve/Pvp/Wvw skills. You already have them saved when we go into them. Now find a way to balance them separately so that when you need to nerf things like Well of Precog because of the Raids, it doesn’t screw over the WvWers who may have been using it as an invuln.

3. With that said, revert stab changes back to pre-stack.

4. Rewards. Seriously… Been wvwing since beta and you feel like a pauper compared to all of your PvE buddies. I dont need riches but a reward track like the PvP tracks would be great. Also, we really need a legendary backpiece for WvW, PvE has one, PvP has one. We really should get one. Make that happen please

5. Move away from the importance of PPT based play to PPK being the bulk of the score. Im not saying PPT shouldnt be a part of it, but sitting in all of your towers and keeps with 50 acs, 10 gens, 5 trebs and all gods other siege all day shouldnt generate a win. Getting out and fighting and killing all the things should.

thank you for bringing this to the community Tyler! Yes, definitely Fridays for sure! Regular time though, 10pm is a bit late for us Eastern folks to just be getting started.

First, the positive feedback: I love the gliding in core Tyria. Best thing ever. Want this in wvw someday please! Also, in wvw, the rally/double down changes may have bothered some but I do believe it was a good step and has made fights more fair. I like this change and hope it stays.

My biggest negative feedback is the Well of precognition change. Changing this to aegis made this well one of the most useless wells ever. It was a great well in WvW, allowing for a much more aggressive gameplay as a personal well (which is how I used it). Now, it mainly is a high recharge waste of space. I dont even use it for zerg alacrity purposes anymore. Please consider changing this back.

Honestly, this was the only well that really made Chrono worth playing for me in WvW and with it gone, I may just move back to my old mesmer setups. I knew what the outcome would be but I tried the well tonight in wvw, in a normal situation and in every case it absolutely failed me. The alacrity nerf didn’t sting nearly as much as I thought it would but this, this was the worst.

Its truly made the skill worthless outside of granting alacrity to others really. :/

Ive tried guesting on two different servers, changing characters, changing zones, restarting the story, logging in and out, flying at him, jumping to him.. nothing works

Heres the thing. The exclusive dye market is so volatile that its really silly to spend 1k on a dye that will, in all likelihood, be released back onto the gemstore within the year again making that dye way less expensive. Almost every exclusive dye pack has been re-released on a limited basis. And when it does, the prices plummet. Like from 1k to under 100g. I mean, if you really, really have to have that electro dye now and its worth spending 1k gold to get it right this second, go for it. But I wouldnt consider it a “precursor” level value as it is truly artificially inflated.

If you watch the market on dyes closely for a few weeks to a month you will see what I am talking about with the volatility. Dyes that are worth 60g now will be worth 400 next month and then it will crash again, and heck, you dont even need a gem store release for some of these.

While I completely disagree with this stance as it seems to counter the general theme of Anet, it is what it is. This was brought to my attention about 10 minutes ago: https://twitter.com/shazbawt/status/616353918239399936

I guess it’s ok. Well, you won’t see us doing this. One guild member pointed out that the east side of borderlands had a spot like this and it was patched with more of the “no siege” buff. But who knows.

The east side treb spot that was patched last was well within citadel, like right near where the merchants are. That treb couldn’t really be ballista’d down and it couldnt be trebbed down as easily as the trebs can on the west side. In fact, many times the only way to take down those trebs were to “get” into the enemy citadel and remove it. Thats why that was patched. We first saw that tactic heavily used by a couple of the t2 servers during season 2 or 3, cant remember..

I personally dont like any of the spawn trebs too much but if anet doesn’t consider them an exploit there isn’t much that can be done other than taking your blob and setting up counter siege.

I gave up and closed the download. at 1kb/s its going to take many days to download the entire 25gb (someone on reddit said the last wvw borderlands test was the full 25). If they fix it, I’ll try again.

49mb at 1kb/s its been downloading for about 8 hours now. We know a lot of us are having issues with the dl speed, has anyone successfully downloaded the client, if so, how big is it?

We do have solo roamers in T1. I solo roam when none of my guild mates are around.. but he is right, you do get run over.. a lot. When I am running solo, I tend to run on my mesmer so I can move around easier and avoid the bigger zergs. Most of the roaming in my experience in T1 NA is done is smaller groups of 2-5. You’ll find many duos and groups of three running around.

I can say, that BG has a lot of roamers. If you want to play with a lot of other roamers.. then BG is your place to be. But if you want to fight other roamers.. JQ or TC would be your best option.

Ive noticed that a bunch of kills are not gaining me stacks since the patch. These aren’t near their spawn or anything.. in fact they were near MY spawn. I play in T1 so there are a lot of turnover for deaths, only getting stacks for maybe 2-3 of 5 kills is starting to get annoying. I don’t typically zerg so running in a zerg and whacking a hammer getting my stacks in 5 seconds isnt something I’ll do ;P So yeah, please reconsider at least the sigil aspect of this anet. I dont care if I dont get a bag but I really would like a stack if I successfully kill someone. (and not everyone can afford the sigil for underwater weapon requirements to keep your stacks, I can but not on everyone can.. it gets really annoying having to regain your stacks every time you get wet and now you have to kill just that much more to regain them..)

That said, many people who willfully spawn camp dont really care about XP or bags. They do it either to assert their dominance over the other server or they do it to ensure they have a fight. I mean there are those who do it for the bags, but in my experience, it has very little to do with it and spawn camping will happen with or without the absence of xp and bags.

Maybe instead of this new addition, add direction signs or something on each borderland and on EB showing people that they have other ways out of spawn

They should just add a timer. And not a huge one. Something like 30 seconds to 1 minute before it automatically waypoints you back, regardless whether or not someone is trying to rez you.

There is a timer of 15min, if you remain dead you will get kicked from game due to inactive. However its easy to reset that timer just by switching a piece of gear. Yes switching gears, when you are dead.

Heh, yeah, we had a mesmer the other morning in one of the keeps we took sit at the gate dead for over two hours, he was changing armor to avoid forced respawn. His friends would come up and try to res, he did get revived once but we had a ballista trained at him and he got one shot. They did eventually manage to get him up and portal into the keep inner. Thankfully we had people nearby and were able to repel them. He died away from a gate that time.. I guess he probably didnt want to sit for another few hours. Dedicated mesmers…

This isn’t just happening with Guild, its also randomly happening on my contact list with location for some people, both mutual contacts and non. I hope they get it fixed. Last online is a nice tool.. this unknown bug is just annoying :P

Yeah, I noticed this as well and its true with all of the guilds I am in. Even people I know who have downloaded todays patch and have been online that are now offline are still showing as unknown. The unknown issue is also happening on my contact list with both mutual and non mutual contacts.

I had some PvP dungeon armor skins that were obtained via achievement chests. They are not in my wardrobe. Bug or intentional?

edit: checking now, many of these skins are there now. Not sure why they were not before but they are now.

Having skill lag, general lag, rubber banding, warping, disconnects and downright unplayable conditions at times.

Jade Quarry is my server

Almost all of the time I am experiencing lag, others in my party are as well. If not worse than I am. They have the same issues I am. We end up leaving it gets so bad. Lag happens any hour of the day or night but mostly during NA prime. It gets worse in zerg battles, but it happens when I am away from the zerg trying to roam as well, making that utterly impossible. The zergs Jade Quarry is up against are 50+ most times when I play. But as I said, the issues happen when I am far away from the zerg as well.

I did notice that the lag issues tend to occur a lot more when I am on EB than on a borderland. However, certain borderlands will have issues while others will not. Its very random.

That particular treb spot, as that whole back side of the area is not siege locked for whatever reason, I would say no. Reason being, you can make a treb and treb it down from the ground. The one I do have a problem with is the one allllllll the way up inside citadel where it is siege locked, there is a space that isn’t and enemy teams cannot counter treb, ballista, or AC it down. The only counter I have heard about for it, is for a whole zerg to storm the citadel and take it down and yes, that can be done.

It has happened quite a bit to me but I am usually queued in one BL for another.. Tonight several of my party members were in the middle of a fight and our EB queue popped all at the same time. We considered it but we’d been in queue for a looooong time so we went ahead and hit it. I am sure the people we were fighting were quite perplexed

Usagi.4835:

Lmfao, [SG] at Hills in JQBL. Omg… Your poor omega dodged back a bit too far and fell off the cliff. (He didn’t need to actually really back out of aoe. It was a wooden wall and you would’ve gotten it down just fine.)

You should have heard the cries of laughter in TS when this happened. I don’t think any of us could breathe really.

Night Hawk Ix.7360:

Wow JQ be a little bit nicer to my two old servers. Saying that it has been a while since you won a match maybe t2 is the place to be for JQ XD

Say whaaaa? Its been a few weeks since we last placed first. That means we need to be in T2? LOL! Your logic… I just don’t even know, man.

JQ has given up already that they resort to camping JP’S….Enjoy 3rd place this week.

They are doing this to block people from completing the achievement meta that ends tomorrow. Without finishing the Aetherblades dungeon you can t get the meta completed for the points and rewards.

This is not the first time that I have seen JQ do this and this is why I can not stand them. Two days ago I managed to sneak in and complete it surrounded by SoR players who also just wanted to complete the meta. In front of both of us were a large group of JQ who were spawn camping the entrance.

I don t mind pvp…I mind the bully behavior of a losing server who wants to take revenge on players who do not pvp and are forced to get in a pvp JP to finish a timed meta. NONE of the many SoR I passed by in the JP attacked…only JQ. Always JQ

And people wonder why you have such a bad reputation

Oh cry me a river. I was in the puzzle last week, minding my own business with other JQ that also were not attacking just trying to get through it when BG zerged through and killed pretty much everyone in their wake (there were some SOR solos in there who also were not attacking). A lot of us stayed dead hoping for a res as we were pretty well through the puzzle and sure enough people came through and got us up, only for SOR to come bowling through and do the same. At which point I gave up and waited for a less busy puzzle time.

The puzzle is a pvp puzzle. Yeah, some of us choose not to fight others because we just want to get through the stupid thing. But others choose to fight because the puzzle was made for fighting or they wouldn’t have allowed it. I can’t tell you how many times I have gone in the puzzle and haven’t been able to come off the ledge because 20+ enemies were sitting at the bottom waiting for people to just try and come down, and pulling people who get to close to the ledge off. BG camps the puzzle, SOR camps the puzzle, JQ camps the puzzle. We all do it and to say only one server ever does it is really naive. Why dont you just gather up your friends and server mates to help you clear it out if its that big of a problem for you?

Yeah, its definitely not something that is only happening to the other two servers. It is happening to JQ players as well. The lag is awful and the constant dcs make it pretty unplayable especially in a larger fight. I dont get it in any other BL right now at all really.

Shadow Gypsies would like to thank everyone in SoR BL from 8pm-1am pst for all the fun fights we had.

How was our siege attack on bay from SoR perspective? I think all the defenders should get the [Shellshocked] buff for a couple days hehe. Normally we don’t tangle to much with SoR as we are on BG BL for the most part culling the ex-sos hordes, it has been fun this week though.

Honestly that siege was probably one of the dumbest I’ve ever seen. You let us get two ticks out of that when you could of stomped us quite easily. Thanks for the free points though. We sat there talking about the most random kitten waiting for you guys to actually attack us.

I mean…you crept up to the very supply hut of bay vs….15 players? 2 trebs > 2 acs > 3 Ballistas > 2 Acs >1 Ballista > Into finally taking the keep.

Oh man, sorry but you had alot more than 15. You had a very large zerg that out numbered us initially that we wiped on the outer wall as well. But even if you had as little as 25 or 30 in the last bombardment those not suffering from your psychosis put up a good fight under the conditions.

BG leave my Briar alone…use your golems on Garrison or something :p

During that wipe on the outer wall yes we did have about the same amount as you guys…sadly half died at the base of the stairs fighting the few down there. When it came to the end though we sat in the inner with only about 15 people.

Yeah, about that. There was way, way, more than 15 inside when we pushed in. You can keep telling yourself that if you want to but it doesn’t make it true

If you are going to have a feature allowing users to send gold to others, then there should be better mechanisms in place to avoid situations such as these. Additionally, just because a user is from a specific part of the world, they shouldn’t be penalized automatically for something that someone in another part is not. This should be rectified.

We do have an amazing community in JQ. Whether its in WvW , PvE or just hanging out in Lions Arch, you wont find a more welcoming group of people.

If you are having trouble transferring to the server, contact one of the commanders listed and they will assist you with this. There have been several recent successful guild moves coordinated, so if you are interested and are unable to please do contact them.
