BIG event in cities , not possible.

This issue is not entirely related to the machine running the client, it boils down to a few things.

1) The game engine. It’s been a known issue for a while that the coding for GW2 is done in such a way that the game actually limits what you see on the screen in crowded areas and it takes awhile before it decides to render everything in your field of view. This issue has been around since Beta. Until these last 2 events it has been most noticeable in WvWvW, in big battles where quite often, regardless of your machine, you cannot see people attacking you. Anet has spoken on this subject before and said that it was going to require a major update to the game engine to fix and that they were trying to figure out the best solution.

2) The delay you experience between key press and resulting action is controlled by 2 things, your connection and the load the GW2 servers are under. This issue has been around since the dawn of MMO. Whether it was the Hamidon Raids in City of Heroes or the Gates of AQ events in WoW I’ve never seen any game server able to stand-up to the punishment of having hundreds of people all in one space. It doesn’t matter if it’s in Lion’s Arch or if they had it take place on some remote island in game (or even in an instance) once you dog pile hundreds of players all spamming their attacks in a small area a server gets clogged. What I’ve never understood is why do Developers insist on doing these kind of events when they know the results are so poor?

If you get disconnected chances are that is your connection not able to handle the amount of data being piped to it. If you have huge delays between keypress and resulting action that could be a combination, but it’s more than likely a result of their servers prioritizing the communication and yours being queued back to the point that it seems like never happens.

Personally I switched from Chat to Event log during the event so I could see when the server was indicating my actions took place. I could see that my attacks were making it through, but I could also see that the client and the server were not syncing which would cause these like my Heal never appearing to be on cooldown though it was.

In the end whether it was those on really high end machines or those on the lowest accepted system (if you are playing with a below recommended system it’s on you) everyone was experiencing issues with latency and Anet should have known this would be an issue.

Very interesting. I knew there was something about all you said, if they try to figure that problem out, it’s going to take many month to fix that issue, we can only hope and wait.
When i knew there would be big events in lion’s arch, i was sure it wouldn’t run smoothly for me but i still tried the event and it wasn’t enjoyable and then gw2 crashed. like other people i got a bit frustrated.
Oh well , i’ll still have other things to do instead of the big fight back in lion’s arch. My system is at the recommended system, just enough to enjoy all the other things besides the big events of lost shores or the dragons events.

last time to make an big event in lion’s arch.
many people having lag issues.
low systems can’t handle that kind of event (then buy a new pc), sorry not everyone can buy a brand new pc.
we can’t enjoy this event with those problems.

you should advise people with a low system that it could be a bad experience for them.

or do big event somewhere else on the map so everyone can enjoy it

, but not in big cities.

thanks for listening.

Halloween’s events is gone. the clock tower is over. I didn’t finish it since the beginning, i tried it hundred times, couldn’t make it to the top. maybe because it’s my computer, maybe my skills aren’t good enough, i’m too slow but i tried, as hard as i could, raging but not raging because the jumping wasn’t good, raging because i did stupid mistakes. it was CHALLENGING. yes i did it for the CHALLENGE. Mr Foreman, I LOVED your jumping puzzle. PLEASE, do more. i know , you have to balance between the good and the bad (sorry for my english). it’s hard to satisfy everybody. listen for some suggestions, it is good to make a better jumping puzzle.
Personally, it was the right Challenge. unfortunately for me it was impossible to succeed it. you are the creator , you have your word on your creation.

I want to say , thank you for your first Biggest event in gw2. Happy to see our Mad King Thorn after 250 years of absence. I encourage you for the futur of gw2 and excited to wait the Next Big Thing in the world of Tyria.

Love you Arenanet
