Just curious to what the community thinks is the most underwhelming legendary weapon. I understand the underwater weapons are barely used but that doesn’t make them necessarily underwhelming. So what do you think? And why do you think this particular weapon is lackluster? Such as the footfalls, projectiles, sounds and / or aura?
Personally I have to say the howler because you can’t hear the howl, the howl animation doesn’t work with all skills, the aura is nearly see through, and the footfalls are short, can appear too close or under the ground, and are barely noticeable.
I’m having huge packet losses and unplayable lag in wvw. My friend who lives near me has this same problem too. I’ve been running wvw fine before the server linking, could this be a possible reason for the lags?
Nope. It’s probably a node issue along your connection to Anet servers.
same problems Paketloss is HUGE
No need for photos or videos XD
I hope they will fix this soon. This year XD
I don’t have packet loss so that isn’t the problem.
Once upon a time we were roommates. You were in the kitchen eating dinner. I was in the office studying hard. The light went out in the kitchen. You yell, the light went out! This power must be out! I say, no The light is working in the office. But you continue to insist that the power is out. I explained that it could be the lightbulb most likely, or the wiring could be faulty. But you continue to insist that the power is out. That’s when I decided to kick you out. The end
I am sure you are getting confused. Like others said, they added an ability to salvage gift of fortune because it is not needed for the new legendaries. People had assumed it would be needed and crafted them ahead of time before HoT was released. This obviously led to some upset as you still need 200 of each t6 matterial for the new legendaries; just not the gift of fortune.
So they added a salvage ability so people who crafted the gift of fortune could get their matts back for the new legendary gifts.
the VG fight is just about the only time I have in game sounds on. Just for one reason, the blue circles.
I also have problems seeing them, but with sound on, when they get placed the game makes one of the worst sounds ever. And that is what I use as a cue instead.
I agree the sound they make us much easier to pick out than the circles themselves. It’s especially hard to see them over Mesmer wells and ele fields when they are stacked in each other. I don’t go by the circles themselves anymore at all.
Guys, got the same issue – 7:1000:7006:462. My friend tried to install it on his computer just now and this issue keeps on spamming. We tried like almost everything and have no idea what to do.
If it didn’t kill you yet. You could try opening a ticket with support by clicking links above or below. If you didn’t make it out alive… My condolences
And I have noticed that its only the maps that have a high volume of players on it.
Eternal Battlegrounds, Lions Arch etc.
This is not The same problem. If you experience latency issues, and ping plotter does not show latency problems at the server, then something is wrong with your set up or computer.
For the record, I am for saying this is a server side issue if there is data to support the cle for the record, I am for saying this is a server side issue if there is data to support that claim.
I ran the pingplotter and got this result.
I’m not an expert with this stuff, but as far as I can see this shows that the problem is the connection between my ISP and Arenanet?
If it is on Arenanet’s end, is there anything I can do about it, or do I basically just wait and cross my fingers hoping Arenanet will fix it?
It’s at hop 7. Anet does not own that node or have any control over it. Your ISP has a contract with that node provider that your internet takes their node when your connection goes in that direction. There’s other node providers as well that your ISP could take. You could try to talk to your ISP to pressure the node owners to fix it. Your ISP most likely will give you “the run around” blaming it on Anet when you have data to show it isn’t. But worth a try
I have some respect for OP because he hasn’t come back and started a silly pointless argument at this point. There’s still time but it is something of note if he does not come back and engage in an argument for a game that he has quit. Of course starting a thread in the first place is deplorable but that’s a given.
It is not unusual to have an issue with gw2 and nothing else. There’s an issue with your internet on its route to Anets servers. Servers are located all over and unless you connect to another server in Texas you won’t have issues. Read my link to learn more how this works and to run ping plotter to determine your issue.
If you connect to any server in Frankfurt you will have the same problem such as running a speed test to a server in Frankfurt. If you run a local speed test or connect to a server located somewhere else you won’t necessarily have an issue (unless of course there are issues along your route to severs in another city as well)
One month later still with issues Andraus, now they have more packet loss than ever and a hop less…. No official response from Anet… im quitting the game until i get some fix or response, cant play with 300 to 4k ms…
Sorry I’m not sure if we had spoke before.
But in regards to your attached image, level3 in Dallas is giving you major issues. That is not Anet…. You could if you like, open a ticket and attach that image. They could also explain that to you as well. But there’s nothing they can do on their end….
I tried the first method with the dye erase tool, and it did not work. I’m going to try a client repair and will post back the results.
Also, thank you very much for the replies! I hope we get this figured out.
Update: Client Repair. No change.
Yeah client repair won’t work if others see it too. Client is only on your side. If your friends also see it working incorrectly then it’s not client side.
It’s probably your ISP. Regardless you need proof. Download and run ping plotter. You are looking for packet loss and latency problems at hops. The first hop with major issues is your problem. If it’s at nearly the very end its Anet. In that case you open a support ticket and provide that data so they can address it. But 95% of the one it’s not Anet.
If you do it and cite Dev quotes as a precedent for doing so…. Just beware that Anet’s communication is all over the place. What one Dev says may not be what another one believes to also be true. We do need a clear statement on this. Not just for players but for consistency sake on the management side of things.
Is there any reason the Mini Pet display rules can’t be different for WvW, if the problems are different for WvW?
(Yes, Andraus… 10 ambient creatures around you. But what about on the whole map? Only ANet has an idea how the number of Ambients on a whole map compares to the number of Mini Pets there. If “around you” is the important factor, then why should my Mini Pet disappear if I am nowhere close to the crowded area?)
The other ambient creatures on the map do not matter. Sorry OP I do not pretend to know about programming or code but I do know these very basic things. You can look up culling issues that were prevalent and hiding mini pets have helped with these issues.
Anet did not dump resources into hiding mini pets without good reason. I don’t understand all the coding behind it but I trust they made the best decision they could come up with given their tesources.
In a WvW Zerg there’s maybe 10 ambient creatures around if you are lucky. They actually did remove a lot of mobs from WvW in the last major patch as well to further address the lag issues in WvW. But that is why it is in place, mostly for WvW but also for major world boss events. There’s many many times that the mini pets. I do agree the flying mini’s should glide.
Originally there were supposed to be small and medium sized halls. You can look up that shaman’s data mined posts on it. Maybe if there’s enough push they would reconsider.
I also experience lag and disconnects. I found that I was getting 100% packet loss on
7 * ae-3-80.edge7.Frankfurt1.Level3.net [4.69.154.139]
8 ae-3-80.edge7.Frankfurt1.Level3.net [4.69.154.139]
9 206-127-157-86.ncsoft.com [206.127.157.86]
Your packet loss will trickle down into Anet servers. It’s really level3 giving you the problem.
There’s nothing wrong with being ignorant on this subject. Honestly I knew nothing about it two years ago and made a post where I complained about the servers and my connection relating to a patch. But correlation does not prove causation and another poster gave me a better idea of how the internet works as well as my connection. I then did my own research on it and found it to be true.
We are trying to educate here. There is nothing wrong with ignorance. But to continue arguing about this topic after being educated is not ignorance, but instead stupidity. I’m not directing his post at anyone just replying with this in case someone wants to start argueing rather than educating themselves.
It’s probably not your ISP. It’s one of the nodes your ISP takes to get to Anets servers. Such as level 3 in Texas or Telianet. Anet can’t do anything about this. Your ISP has some power here since they have an agreement with the node to use the service. However it’s unlikely they will do much of anything.
I can’t play WvW atm, it’s lagging out every second or two, sometimes for 15s or more. Been playing PvE all night no issues, the second I go to WvW it’s unplayable. Needs to be fixed, I’m so angry at it right now and it’s totally destroying the point of playing for me.
Speed test won’t tell you anything besides your Local connection. If you don’t live in Texas then speed test tells you very little with your connection to the servers. See my link above.
Well not really broken is it. You are the population and you keep leaving. When you get to a new map, rather than staying to build a population, you leave. Then you arrive at a new map and.. well, you get the picture. The first people into a map (you in this case) have to stop leaving it.
You risk the map closing. Even if it fills up to cap the population the map can still close. I believe that once the message appears, it will close in an hour regardless if it fills up. Unless this was recently changed that is how it works.
I was fighting a necro, but that is literally irrelevant, as I had stability on, and still had stacks on with fear.
This is very relevant. In order to fix the bug it needs to be able to be reproduced. If the devs can not reproduce it they won’t be able to identify the problem. The more information the better. What attacks were you using, what traits, what was the other necro using?
If you can’t reproduce it then it likely will not go fixed.
Gift of bolt is what you must be missing. It’s available from the mystic forge lady for 10g. You need the proper crafting disciple, weaponsmith to learn it and craft it at a station
Well we have the Raven on our staff…. But that isn’t as neat as the cub back packs. I am still advocating to have Raven fly off the staff and with us when we glide.
I’m not sure how a raven back pack would be…. The actual mini Raven is very lack luster. It is very easy to miss as a mini since its small and black it easily blends in with most scenery.
I would not oppose a Raven spirit mini with cool effects as well
I doubt support will help you, especially if you took the 50g out of the mail. You can get some of that gold back however by using the trading post. Find a low quantity item and buy it out.
