rhoiyds.4289 if you played for 2 years you should have some gold in game.

Legendary. Gold sink.

• I agree that asking new players to chose a World before doing anything in the game is odd, now that Worlds are a WvW concept. This isn’t something we can change easily, however, but I’ll keep it in mind if an occasion arises.

SERIOUSLY – THIS

I am Australian and joined GW2 two years ago, and my stupid, uneducated self chose EU servers instead of NA because I truly didn’t even know the difference.

I played for the first year and a half without regretting this decision, and I now have 6 level 80 characters, a legendary weapon and a large amount of achievements I am very proud of.

I have since discovered PVP in the last half a year, and have been playing furiously. I love it! Such a great fighting dynamic – however. I AM PLAYING WITH ~400 PING.

This is a MASSIVE advantage to the enemies, and it is becoming increasingly difficult as I get better and realise it isn’t my lack of skill as to why I’m losing, but the fact that I’m trying to fight an enemy that is 1-3 seconds ahead of me.

I asked another Australian friend of mine how his ping is to an NA server and he plays on ~120 ping. WHAT! 300 PING DIFFERENCE!

I NEVER can hit my thief backstab, even though on my screen I am clearly within range. It’s ruining it for me.

Now, $27 AUD to transfer to a NA server? You’ve got to be kidding. How much money do you think you can drain from me?

This truly isn’t fair, because I did NOT know who much a severe disadvantage I would be at.

My suggestions to fix the problem:

Suggestion 1: Make world transferring free to the population

Suggestion 2: Make world transferring free to every account ONLY ONCE.

Suggestion 3: Give a huge discount on world transferring prices. I would pay 400-600 gems.

Anet pls. How was I to know? This isn’t fair.

Just thought I’d put my 2 cents in.
50 USD = $60-$70 AUD depending on the market.

Price of most DLC/Expansion Content = $20 AUD.

Hmmmm. This is one very expensive expansion pack. Why not make this WORTH the money and include a free character slot for people who already own the game.

What? You plan on introducing a new character to the game when 90% of the community already has their character slots maxed out?

Get real.

$50 game pack should include character slow – OR WE RIOT!

I’m living in Sydney, Australia on USYD campus. Arguably the BEST internet speeds possible in Australia. I sit on 350-450 ping constantly. This lag is a HUGE difference in PVP. I’ve made my way up to rank 51, however, as the ranks go up, the opposing players get better, and each millisecond becomes more and more critical. I have now reached the breaking point where I am – without a doubt – losing in 1v1 encounters or 2v1 (my favor) due to the unfair difference in ping.
I ask what everyone average ping is at the start of every game, and they are all competing on 20-60 ping and here I am. 400 ping.
This is painfully unfair and annoying.

Tequatls wave? I no longer bother attempting to dodge, because regardless of if I clear the wave on my screen, I’m going to get hit by it.

PVP launch pads on sky hammer? Don’t even think about it. In fact accidentally walking on one will 90% of the time cost me a death.

Aspect Crystals? Can’t use them. 100% broken. All of them. Especially #3 skill. Lighting pull is so broken I could cry. I tried Sanctum Sprint for the first time the other day, and spent half an hour trying every possible jumping angle to clear a platform using lightning pull. I ended up Exiting to Desktop and walking away in frustration.

Oh yeah, and while everyone is happily jetting around using their #2 aspect crystal, I will most likely end up 10 steps back from where I activated the skill due to rubber banding.

I’m a loyal player of 2 years, and I will without a doubt buy HoT. Heck, I’ve even recruited 3 friends to buy the game as well because I love it so much. Please Anet, do not ignore players like me and my friends (and the rest of the people in this thread). There are plenty more players who don’t lurk the threads who are suffering in silence.

TL;DR: We need and Oceanic Server. I would really really enjoy hearing a response from Anet staff regarding this issue.
Please…

Woah, looks like it is easily bugged. So does it get fixed often?

Hi! There’s an achievement under the ‘Explorer’ tab called ‘Bottoms Up’ where you have to drink 15 of the nectar/potions that a Champion Mordrem Thrasher will drop when aggro’d within Melee range.

Unfortunately, the Thrasher will not enter combat mode and will continue to stay passive until death or when time runs out. Rendering the achievement impossible.

It seems another player on reddit is experiencing similar issues.

Can this please be fixed?
or
Can anyone confirm this is an ongoing bug?

Thanks Anet!

Hi!
I purchased a Krait Obelisk shard with my left over Festival tokens from the vendor in Queens Gauntlet about 3 days ago. Once I had activated it, I got my daily skill point, charged my 25 crystals, and then left. I came back the next day, after daily reset, and it said I had obtained all I could from this place of power. Now, correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m supposed to be able to get a skill point each day from this Obelisk Shard.
I’ve checked the shard every day after reset and it continues to say that I have already used it. It doesn’t seem to be resetting. Is this happening for anyone else? Could Anet perhaps look into this? I don’t want to have wasted all those tokens :S

Thanks!

Hey A Net. Really , really, really hoping you can fix this ASAP.
I really want to show my newbie friends this JP so i can get them hooked on this game.
