Guild Wars 2

Seriously sick of this.
It’s been 2 weeks and I can’t use guild chat.
This is far from the first time a craptastic patch has been released but this by far the worst I’ve seen, much less heard of from any game made.

So many ‘fixes’ but none of them are fixing guild chat. Maybe you guys don’t realize how lonely and pathetic this game feels without guild chat. I for one will likely NEVER spend another dollar on this game the way this is being handled.

But please, lets worry about making a necro trait not work on doors and making flashing blade not work in mid air anymore, because as we can all tell these are HUGE problems that had to be addressed asap (sarcasm).

I just can’t help but think, will we have to wait two years for this to be fixed like we did for falling damage?

I dunno if this has already been posted or not but… I think I found the issue with guild chat not working correctly.

For the past few days I’ve not been able to get guild chat to work with exception when I rep the first guild in my guild list. I would rarely get the ability to use the guild chat that was 5th in my list while still repping the first.

Last night I logged onto my ranger and the guild that was always 5th in my list was suddenly first. I repped it and guild chat worked completely and without error (after I went invis and back online).

Today I log back on and all my characters are showing the guild I wish to use guild chat in back in the 5th guild slot and I’m unable to use guild chat again. It is my theory that the guilds are shown to us out of order, our clients aren’t matching up with the server or something along those lines and that’s causing the issue.

All I know for sure is that the positioning of the guilds in the guild has an effect on my ability to use guild chat effectively.

For raisins I put attachment below, it shows my guild list. Last night [LAW] was first in my guild list and guild chat worked perfectly. Sometimes when repping ‘Alisons Second Vault’ I get the [LAW] guild chat, which suggests [LAW] should be in that spot, NOT any of my [Alis] guilds.

I’ve been trying to shuffle between my guilds to recreate the event but currently can not duplicate it.

I changed zones and I am now no longer able to talk with the people in guild chat again, is not affected by which guild I’m repping.

So I left my old guild yesterday and joined a new one. When I joined the new one I was unable to get guild chat to work properly. There is currently a work around for this that involves opening your contacts window and changing your stats to ‘invisible’ and changing back to ‘online.’

This fix did NOT work for me. I was shuffling through my four personal guild banks and out of nowhere I start seeing text and started thinking WTH!? I quickly came to the conclusion while I was repping my guild called ‘Alisons Second Vault’ I could use guild chat to talk to people in the guild ‘Love And War [LAW]’ (the guild I most recently joined).

Effectively the guild roosters show I am repping my personal guild ‘Alisons Second Vault [Alis]’ and and using the guild chat of ‘Love And War [LAW]’ at the same time. The [LAW] roster shows (to me and others) that I am NOT repping the guild yet still able to talk to them.

If I rep [LAW] I am completely unable to use guild chat.

First anet kittens my FPS with the craptastic UI and now this…

I feel like anet just said told me to go cause now I cant even log into the game to play with these terrible FPS XD

First I queue up for a pvp match and my whole team gets DC’d and unable to log in to both game and forums, gave me some ‘(fangamer:-1)’ error for +/- 5 minutes. We are all frantically trying to get back into the game because we all think the others are being 4v5’d in CY. We all finally log back in and realize we all got screwed and the team goes to sleep. I decide one more game solo queue and the game DC’s me again with a simple error saying ‘Connection failed. Please try again.’

Does anet even want us to play the game? Thinking they just want my gems and could care less after that point.

I never thought there would be a crappier patch then when mega servers happened. That was a garbage patch, this is pure grade A horse kitten.
Topping out at 22FPS on lowest settings and random crashes to put the icing on the cake. Great dev team you have here.
How about fixing game breaking issues instead of a warriors fierce shot…..

uhhh, its kind of simple….
basically b4 the patch a skill with burning effect of 3.5s only did 3s burn and the .5 didnt count… now it does… since you didnt understand the post above i wont try to teach you how it works now… just know the .5 of the 3.5 is actually useful now…

I’m using fraps to measure my FPS.
UI off = 40~55fps, depends on many people are around
UI on = 12~20, usually around 15

All on the lowest setting.
AMD Phenom X4 945 Processor
AMD Radeon HD 6450
8g ram

Side note, my CPU usage fluctuates up and down 10~25% when the UI goes off (from 25% up to 50%)

All I got to say is I played many classes that just have zero chance of killing a bunker with certain builds but the mesmer is another story. Set it up as condi torment or zerk shatter and it doesn’t matter, removes tons of boons and has HUGE burst potential. Once when I was fighting a bunker guard (using sentinels amulet) I got him to waste a couple of his cooldowns and took him from 100% to downed state in less than 3 seconds. When playing condi it is nothing to keep a 1k+ torment tick on another player along with spamming tons of confusion on them at the same time.

If you can’t play mesmer effectively its your fault. As to why its not found in most high end teams is simple; it requires too much teamwork, support, and has next to zero chance at surviving fights if trying to stay on point. The issue isn’t the mesmer, it’s the game type.

Okay I’ve had it with the constant 3v5 & 4v5’s. I’m not only complaining because of it being my team that is short handed. I sincerely love a good nail biting fight where I’m not sure if I’m going to win or lose. 98% of the time if it is a 4v5, the four is going to lose. In a 3v5 the three will always lose.

My idea is simple and rather plain without being overly harsh to people who legitimately disconnect (I know I have a couple of times). Instead of being able to reconnect to the game, you just simply are not allowed back in and have a 30 minute ‘cooldown’ period before you can take part in ANY PvP (including hot joins). I don’t know if it’s possible but maybe add a stacking type effect where if it is done a second time in 24 hours it is increased to 1 or 2 hours.

How does this fix the 4v5? Simply replace the player that left (or disconnected) with another player in the queue. The team with a person who left will still be at a disadvantage due to the new player have to load into the game wasting precious time, but it is better than the current situation where the game is already forfeit.

The 4v5 is a plague that needs to be dealt with. I for one am done waiting for fixes to game play, I’ll resume playing SPvP when the issue is addressed. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

GARBAGE… GARBAGE… GARBAGE… The megaserver system is completely and totally 100% undeniable GARBAGE…

Sure, on a low population server it makes complete and total sense to want to make their maps more populated. Sure it makes to put people in the same guild, friends listed, etc in the same map.

My issue is I went to cursed shore and EVERY SINGLE guild member got shoved into a different map and we are all from the same server and some where even in the same parties and still did not get into the same map. Yes I know you can “ferry” people in through the join on option but that’s just a pain.

Once we did get everyone into the same map we could not get Arah or Grenth event to succeed because there were so many people scaling the events to insane difficulties that is nigh impossible to complete.

I went afk for about 30 minutes due to being fed up with failed event after failed event and came back to every event still not being completed. Before this GARBAGE “feature” high population servers like BLACKGATE, JADE QUARRY, TARNISHED COAST, and many others had ZERO issues doing any event.

GG Anet, you just butt-kittened a huge portion of your playerbase…

1. I join the Q for our borderland.
2. It eventually told me the BL was ready.
3. I clicked enter BL.
4. It asked me if I wanted to Q for the BL. (I clicked yes)
5. I got to 5th in Q.
6. It moved me to 21st in Q.
7. It eventually told me the BL was ready.
8. It asked me if I wanted to Q for the BL again.

GG Anet, you broke WvW Q.

The problem is obviously repeatable, tons of people complain about it. How about a fix?

So, finished map completion, 100%, all poi’s vista, etc etc…

I entered chantry of secrets… I even have the HoM and all of Southsun mapped…

All I received was a title I couldn’t give a kitten about. WTB gift!!!! Last two things I mapped out before being given the title was two new poi’s in LA under attack (which I mapped LA 100% before those were added).

So once again… GIFTS PLS…

1. Why are we still bound to an instance owner? I was just stuck with one of the absolute worst players who just so happened to be the instance owner. He died in every boss fight, most champion fights, and all around a not so great player. I’m not against these players from joining and learning, what I am against is players like this who blame the rest of the team for their short comings. Since he is the instance owner I’m forced to play on a giimped team. I suggest we bring back the GW1 style of instances where it doesn’t matter who or how many people D/C (or in the case of gw2, kicked) you can still play the instance.

2. I have an issue with is kicking in fractals, there are two things wrong with it that I’ve noticed. The first thing is I was just in a fractal, made it to the third level and it was nearly completed and I was kicked by the instance owner (same as mentioned above) for trying to explain to him how it worked and he thought he knew better. The reason isn’t so much the issue, it’s the fact that it only took him to start the vote and his single guild mate to do it on the 3rd instance of the fractal. My suggestion is to make it a MAJORITY (three people) vote, not a two person vote which is a perplexing system. The second issue is I put enough effort into the run to complete it more than 50% and yet I was able to be removed.

I’m not simply boo-hoo’ing because I got kicked from a fractal, I’m pointing out two very obvious issues that need to be looked at. Please ANET, fix existing content. I want other players to see this and tell us your thoughts on this subject
