Guild Wars 2

ah well I’m glad I read all this.. I will hold off completing the story for now.

Is this place monitored by the support at ANet? Just curious if there’s somewhere else I should report this. I’m not making a comment.. I’m making what I believe is a bug report and would like to know if there is an answer for this please.

Wilderness Survival Specialiation – Shared Anguish says

“Incoming disables are transferred to your pet instead. "

.. this includes everything including stuns, pulls, fear etc…

I’ve run Ranger for so long and always knew that this didn’t work but only recently it seems to have become more of a pain. Whether it’s in PvE or WvW when anyone or npc stuns, pulls, knocks, etc I get the full effect… It does NOT transfer to my pet.

This would be a very useful tool if it worked. Please fix this.

Thanks.

I can agree with that… however… the bottom line is that it’s a problem with ANet Network not a bunch of people’s personal networks…

No. It is unlikely that personal networks are the cause as problems with those would affect other programs too but the internet consists of more than just the end-users and Anet’s servers.
Unless you actually examine your network traffic (for example by running a traceroute) when you are lagging you can’t claim whose fault it is.
As an example the most severe lag I ever had was caused by the Level3 node in Frankfurt. Switching to a VPN completely eliminated the lag.
In that case the problem wasn’t on Anet’s side and there wasn’t anything they could have done.
A short guide regarding lagging.

When GW2 is the ONLY place I go that’s having a problem it’s pretty clear to me where the issue lays…

It’s definitely at ANet’s side. I’m running a top end gamer with a Solid State hard drive and I never get lag.. earlier tonight it was real bad… I left and went back in an hour later and it was better.

(Note: how in the world does two letter s’s translate into a bad word and turned into kitten?) can’t even abbreviate solid state.. lol

Lag as in skill lag is network related.
What kind of pc you have has basically no influence on it.

I can agree with that… however… the bottom line is that it’s a problem with ANet Network not a bunch of people’s personal networks…

Stealth defensive? For a thief? You tell that to the people that get downed and killed by thief’s that stay invis pretty much the whole time… when you can’t even get a shot in because they ganked you from behind.

ah you should get awesome advice from the people on those servers of course. Everyone has the best, and all the others are the worst…

Truly the best thing you can do is go to a server that’s linked with a major server that you think you are interested in, that doesn’t start with ‘M’, and get to know some people. That’s just my opinion though and other people’s idea will surely be different.

If you like it and want to be part of the host server then you can transfer to it, if it’s open for transfers that is…

Could we just remove WvW and servers and add 2 hour match gamemode?

I believe that’s called EoTM…. and we all know how much ‘fun’ that place is… not.

the dots definitely clean up the screen but yes they hide the long names. If it was global that would make the playing field even. But… everyone has the ability to turn them on or off so that evens things up. It’s definitely NOT a show stopper.

I mean, if anyone chooses to use the dots instead of the long names then it’s “your” choice on how you play. If you can’t see me… heh, well then I might shoot your head off before you know I’m there.. :P

I have now looked… agreed , I was incorrect… it’s not looking so good. but still no living story for wvw please…

I hate to break it to people but as much as I love WvW I bet that even if it went away GW2 would continue to thrive with the content that it has now, and continue to add to as time goes by. Since I adjusted my way of thinking in WvW and allowed myself to focus in other parts of the game I’m finding that there’s lots of fun stuff to do if you have some guildies and friends to do it with.

Yes I agree that WvW could be better… but I will also agree that I don’t have the answers to the problems…. and so I decide to just find ways to enjoy this game that hooked me 4 years ago.. knowing that I don’t have a fraction of the knowledge to program even a small part of these games.

I do believe it’s an incorrect assumption that ANet doesn’t have a WvW team that cares. I think they seriously care, but if you think about it.. they can’t please ME and YOU and the other 500 people that have different ideas… All they can do is provide what they think might be some gems (colored enemy dots was not one of them) and try to do what they believe a majority will want and that makes sense to them etc etc…

Slamming a company that charges you nothing for a subscription, (although they provide value added gem store items), just makes me shake my head in wonder. Do people really think that they should stop what they may be doing and start implementing all the stuff that so many people say MUST be done to save WvW from dying?

.. in closing … no please.. NO living story for WvW ever… (imho)

Yes, you would just double click on the item in the bar (in my way of thinking) then place the item where you wanted. It would never alter your skill bar in that case, it will simply be an ‘external’ type of skill.

I guess it’s empty for you guys… It’s not empty much of the time for us. I don’t care for PPT… ever period.. I don’t care at all about the scores period. I look for small scale fights, since blobs simply suck. … and of course I take everything I can from the enemy. If it gives ppt to the folks that like ppt then I guess that’s ok.. for me.. .don’t care.

I keep hearing about these glitches… I’ve never seen anyone taking advantage of them, whatever they are… and those that do simply suck… In the meantime… LOVE the DBL’s… don’t want to see them go… and have lots of nice small scale fights on them… and now and then get steamrolled by a blob that, for some reason, doesn’t want the 5-10 of us taking their keeps… go figure.

don’t say nobody. we have a group that practically lives on dbl. Just cause some hate it doesn’t mean everyone does. I seriously do not like eb period.

Same here Asphyxia… Frankly I prefer seeing the actual server nanes and not the dots.

How about this. Make siege blueprints store in your wallet just like tokens, karma, etc. Assign customizable key bindings to each of them.

For Example:

Alt+1 = Equip Regular Flame Ram Blueprint
Ctrl+1 = Equip Superior Flame Ram Blueprint

(Key bindings can be changed in the Options>Control Options menu)

This way, you’re not wasting space in your inventory and you can equip siege blueprints with the touch of a button.

Balthazzarr.1349:

Storing siege in your wallet would make it even more difficult to get to when you need it quick. Not a good idea.

OMG! I can’t believe I have to dumb this down, but I’ll try. You do NOT have to open your wallet to drop siege. Blueprints are stored in the wallet to save space in your inventory. What I’m proposing is, assign Key Bindings to blueprints. Therefore, you do NOT need to open your inventory/wallet in order to equip siege. You simply press a button and the siege will appear in your hands.

I suppose if I had READ your short post more clearly I would have seen you were suggesting a very good idea! My apologies… and I agree with you!

Samug.6512:

How about this: implement a special item, Siege-o-matic 9001. When right-clicked, an option “Consume all siege” would appear, that would take all existing siege from our inventory to Siege-o-matic 9001’s inventory. When used, Siege-o-matic 9001 would replace our skill-bar with siege weapons. You could cycle between normal, superior and guild siege just like in musical instruments. Each siege-icon would have a little number in a corner indicating how many of this siege you have, 250 max. Hovering mouse over the Siege-o-matic 9001 would show a description with an amount of each siege weapon.

You reduce inventory space taken by siege from ~14-16 to just one.

This sounds like a very not so good idea. Nobody wants to have their skill bar replaced. Plus, that would add a couple steps to the process and still would not make the siege readily available like a separate bar that stays resident on the screen ready to be clicked on at any time.

Storing siege in your wallet would make it even more difficult to get to when you need it quick. Not a good idea.

Entenkommando.5208:

That’s why I said make it mandatory.

That would cause a LOT more flak than just the bit of rhetoric about the dots right now. I’m willing to bet that most people would not like that being forced on them. I for one don’t care at all about trying to figure out how many people are swooping down on me… If it’s a sea of red then it doesn’t matter if it’s 10 or 50… I’m gonna die. If I’m with another big group then it just means there’s a battle coming.. I mean who’s going to take the time to try to count the enemy.. duhh.. shoooot!

As I said in an earlier post… the original chatter about name plates was so that people could identify their linked allies easier. (Not original in this thread, but when the subject first came up)

lol, you can’t hide from people that disable that feature… :P

Well then, the 5 of us that papered the T3 CD Keep did well for the team then… yay… Too bad nobody was home at the time except that one guy who seemed to forget he could put up some siege and get us before we could get those gates down…

Hey did you know that the lords fall faster with less people? Gotta love the small group.. no blobs for this guy…

At any rate, I believe the issue that most people were talking about was a “problem” of knowing what server your allies were on. What they captured/claimed etc. This enemy dot doesn’t do anything that addresses that “issue”.

ok I did something novel and actually read the release notes.. at least I can turn it off.. yay

but still.. I am not seeing much value in this change. Also, the default should have been for things to stay the way they were and a message sent out informing that it could be changed if wanted. MANY people don’t come into the forums and seeing this dot was a shock even for some that do… ah things are back to normal now… nice and ugly but enemy easy to spot once again.

whats that feedback thread?
i only knew the poll on which the KISS/1u1d lost a landslide.
the majority voted this

……Trump won

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/wuv/Identities-of-Linked-Worlds/first

The thread is about server identities however it also goes on about how it would change a variety of things including name plates, which was discussed at length.

I’m a little confused at how this change helps identify servers…? Was it supposed to help me see at a glance which one of my allies was on which server? Or was it supposed to make the enemy names shorter with these silly blue dots on them?

One thing it does do it make it more of a challenge for people with lower end machines. I’m having to use a lower end machine right now with degraded graphics and seeing the enemy now with the little spot instead of the red swoosh is a little tougher. Not a big deal, but requires more focus on a screen that’s already lacking in good graphics.

I seriously must have missed something here since I really am not sure what the point of the dots is.. other than to make my name smaller maybe? … and maybe now the enemy doesn’t see the gold/plat/mithril levels now and can’t find the enemy leaders as easily? Not sure… but meh, to me it seems like a non fix to something I’m not sure was a problem.

Totally +1 on that idea OP!

oh my goodness… well here is my half cent worth… cause that’s all it’s worth… It’s all to little too late… Other than people posting in here I really doubt that many people care about name plates anymore. I could be wrong of course, but I for one who wanted some sort of ability to see who was on what server more easily simply don’t care anymore. I know who my BP peeps are and I run with them. The other folks, nice as they are, typically do their own thing and I have no idea if they are on DB or Kain, and like I said.. it really doesn’t matter.

Turn plates off and just give me red for the enemy for all I care now. No PPT, No score, just give me some SMALL fun battles with my peeps and all is now good.

They took my field cannons away… now I can’t troll like a sleazy cannon sniper

Sarge.9730:

Forums exist for the loud minority to complain about what they feel is wrong with everything while the majority of the players just enjoy the game and never even think to look at the forums.

People don’t generally have a great night of WvW and run to the forums to tell everyone about it. They have a terrible night and then look for somewhere to vent their frustrations.

well then let me tell ya… I had a great night tonight… doing just what my previous message says …

I have solved my WvW dilema… After all this linking and relinking I finally got to the point where I don’t give a rats butt about scores period. Frankly don’t care if someone caps something since it can be capped back. What I do like to do is get a small group and just go in and take everything we can, have some fights (not blobs)… and maybe defend if it’s a T3 keep … I mean ya don’t wanna lose those wp’s!

Other than that… the folks can scream their freakin heads off for people to GET ON TAG! STUPID NOOB… and anything else they can think of.. I’ll just take my Mithril butt so wherever the wind (phew) blows and just have fun… No salt in my WvW anymore.. :P

You can go into the achievements panel and select any one of them you want to “watch” and it will appear on the right side of your screen. This has been there since the beginning I believe.

Or… are you asking if they would make it possible to display more of them on the screen?

You will note that there are certain things that can only be found in certain areas/maps.. The reason for this seems obvious to me… To get people to go to the different maps and not just have a “one stop shopping” in one area. What would be the point of having multiple maps/zones if they all had the same thing?

well it’s not a matter of nowhere to put stuff as much as it is a matter of so many things (when you’re super active in lots of areas of the game) that you need to keep in your bags… then the extra loot, and most of it is garbage, fills up the open slots pretty fast… and so on…

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

You must be getting different items than I. (And I have no mules, nor any characters with max bag slots.) Perhaps, a -repair of the client is in order?

Good luck.

roflmao… man you must not do much in this game… seriously… if you don’t have loot filling up your bags you must be sleeping in there…

secret knowledge? like… click your guild name… :P

or a fully decked out Guild Hall complete with private rooms and beach parties… ahhh…

I believe that the browser is the key since the ui seems to use the browser right? I’ve discovered there is some crap on this machine that my daughter managed to get on it.. I suspect it’s what’s causing the issues. I’ll have to try to get this all cleaned up then come back if I’m still having issues.

Thanks for the tip.

lol, well that may be the case (although the lag that low end machines get in wvw is sad to see) but since I started using this machine the gem store has been unusable for me. Cleared cache, ran -repair, shut down/rebooted…

So regardless how how GW2 might be designed, it’s not working well with my machine. And it’s the ONLY thing I’m having issues with for all the other stuff I run.

Would be nice to get some input from an ANet person on this though.

That got my hopes up but nope. It seems to almost work at times… where I can select an option and then it becomes unclickable again… It’s just on the gemstore… all other parts of the TP are fine for me.

Can’t wait to get my gaming machine back up and running since GW2 is NOT designed for standard systems. Not even i7 with 8g ram. Not much ram these days but not bad either. sigh

My gaming computer has decided to crap out. Right now I’m using a machine, that’s not terrible… good graphics etc… but for some reason since I started coming into GW2 with it I am unable to access the Gem store in the TP. I can access the other two items but when I bring up the gem store I am unable to select any clickable area on the screen.. They just all basically are grayed out.

I did the -repair just in case that would solve the issue but it didn’t help.

argggggg?gggggg

Servers showing active again

You can do that if the halls are at different levels but if you farm the one with the MOST levels that will be all you can farm.
If you harvest the lower one first then you get what’s left over in the higher level hall. That’s it. Not extra harvesting.

lol…. one of the recent updates made it so that we could harvest only one of the same type of nodes per day regardless of the guild hall. So switching guilds and going to a different hall doesn’t give you the extra goodies anymore.

Hey Qurly…. you might fall even further when I tell ya… I’ve been in this game since it came out… and FUN is the only reason I play. It’s about the people I know and simply having fun.. No glicko, no ppt, nothing like that… in WvW I like the fights here and there, and knocking down t3 keeps and towers when we can but there is NO score in my sight. Unless you call FUN a score… that’s it…

Give us a race of Elfs.

Elves have been done before, by just about everyone. Same as dwarves. If we have to be burdened with a new race, lets make it something new and original.

Hell if anything Sylvari are the Guild Wars version of elves. They’re just a younger chloroplastic version.

With trees growing from their limbs.. lol.. but yep…

Give us a race of Elfs.

Yes the elite specs are in HoT and won’t be taken away…. nerfed maybe.. but not taken away.. :P

Most of the rewards etc become account bound so having another account doesn’t even help in that way. But, if you want the other account just so you can go in and farm more stuff and dailies that you then sell off to send the gold to your main acct… I guess you could do that… lol.. or you could just buy gems and convert them.
