Great to see that you’re still able to play though and random people willing to help you out in those games without being elitist is really awesome.Hope you continue to enjoy yourself.
SLI will not work in GW2 or so I’ve read. As others have said, game is CPU bound. Maybe one day the game will rely more on the GPU and we can all be happy.
False,SLI does work with gw2 but the performance increase isn’t as noticable as in most other games.Also mmo’s are always cpu bound,untill we all move to dx12 that won’t be changing for now.
So far ive been playing fine for about an hour or so after constantly getting booted or having lag and disconnects or not able to login.Now im able to switch maps able to play without lag ( a bit ) or disconnects.So whatever changed or got fixed,it helped for me atleast.
EU,FSP.
Temporarily fixed.. you mean we can now load a toon into a map but then sit waiting for it to crash any second.. or take our chance and try changing maps to go do something usefull, only to find your stuck back in the same loading screen you have been waiting to load for hours previous.. nah it aint fixed, far from it.
Well yeah that’s true. What I ment is that if you’re lucky you can stay on for a longer time. :P I managed to do 2 full fractal runs without dc, but later dced anyways, so I am very happy it didn’t happen during the fractals runs.
You’re happy…I admire your positivity.I’m about to slap someone myself.
Just got in after 20 tries and 2 boots,also did a repair.I could enter FSP bl which was empty yet i was lagging hard.EB had a 39q which has just popped,but now i’m stuck in an endless loading screen…good stuff..
Now i either login real slow with an endless loading screen or cannot login at all…@W#ERT^&YHGBUINO
Now i can’t even see my chat anymore.wtf is going on
F2p players usually dont give a thing about a games community if they can only play one aspect of the game.I think there’s gonna be alot of trolling/flaming + an influx of bots and goldsellers.
How would you think anet could fix this problem ? Lets say you sit in a queue,your enemy’s party queu has 1 person thats on your blocklist,while another guy from the enemy’s queu has one person from your queue on block.The queue would need to either remove you or the other persons from the list to start looking for people you don’t have on block…Increasing queue times for Everyone just because 2 people have someone on block,it would be a messy thing.
Ignore the guy,keep playing and don’t put any attention to it.
I am tired of people not wearing gear in PvP and then arguing that wearing gear doesn’t matter. Even if the survivability it gives is paltry, it is still putting your team at a disadvantage.
It’s a kittenbag move.
They most likely just have one or two pieces removed….some people just wanna have some fun you know…after 3 years of playing the same game modes with the same maps…Why so serial.
I have gotten used to jumping when using magnet pull just before it lands, its a nice trick to pull from places above you etc. It doesn’t fix the problem but I got a lot less desyncs than before.
True,i do the same when i run lbow on my warr to lessen the possibility of getting obstructed.
In my defense, i never add into 1v1s or 1vXs (with our people outnumbering).
:D suuure…
Anyways, can confirm: there are no good solo and group roamers left on EU Tier 1 to Tier 3. (seriosly… what is wrong with the kitten text filters?)
Says a guy from kodash,are you ffing kidding me now ? The server that spends all day sitting in towers blasting AC.How would you know there are any roamers around at all,you aint got no roamers on your servers,dont pretend please because your server knows kitten about roaming.You know how to gank and blob on one guy but when it gets even you run and sit in in towers,kittening wooptiedoo.
Didn’t logg last night,didn’t logg this night,not gonna logg untill the lag has been dealth with…I’m not about to sit in a 45m queue to immediately start lagging my kitten off when i do enter wvw.Fix it anet,honestly.
Just checked mos millenium…yeah your server seems pretty dead to me.You’re ticking the lowest score atm in NA – 50p.I’m from EU myself,but depending on what activities you want to be doing most,zerging,small scale roaming or solo roam.. your best bet is to move up a bit in between the 1 – 6 servers.
These money tournaments are the equivalent of bread and circuses from ancient Rome. Sure we don’t have any kind of meaningful way to rate ourselves in the actual game or leaderboards or anything like that but every once in awhile we throw 50k around to fogify the E-Sportz people.
^ I have to agree….
Spend that 50k on upgrading your WvW servers perhaps.
That woulnd’t fix whirl or make it more viable at all.Whirl needs to put you in an evade state or reflecting projectiles to make it something worthwhile.
5 per map good enough for ya? There is a game mode without zergs, just so you know.
They increased the cap recently after a few weeks of having No Lag at all basically,it needs to get back to that.You seem to have completely missed the point of my post all beause you feel offended by the zergling comment which is nothing but truth.
It’s pretty much unplayable again since the cap has been raised,please lower it again by 10 per map.Zerglings complain about lag but they’re too stupid to zerg less to avoid this issue,please..lower the cap again.As a roamer i’m unable to get a fight without being interrupted by lag,all the zerglings probably don’t mind because they’re mindlessly spamming 1 anyway “For da lootz”.
It could be ok if mending was better. The might is too short to be useful to TTL and using the HS active is too situational and infrequent to justify taking the trait
Removal of Restor strength,Sign mastery placed in strength tier 1 making room for a new trait in arms ?
You can actually make a perfectly viable power build using arms, with the gm trait only being so-so. It’s just not optimal. Its be a significant power increase too, imo.
Even for condi builds though, Arms is sub-optimal due to FH. Release the beast and Arms will see more use from both condi and power specs (and hybrid, of course).
But, yeah, I wouldn’t cry if SM became a strength adept trait. I’d run a lot of valk or carrion gear too, depending on my weapon comp.
Yeah ive been thinking about it since the first day they released the patch actually,it’s so much more suitable in strength imo.Also what do you think of restorative strength in general ?
Would be great for roamers facing multiple opponents where finishing can be a kitten and downed state makes them win eventhough they lost
Would be great for lower tier servers that have to deal with double numbers
Etc.
One question for you guys,do you think Signet Mastery is in the right spot? Do you ever trait for or make good use of Restorative strength ?
Imo, the only reason to think it’s in the “wrong” place is that it gets way less use than it otherwise would because FH is pulling us into Discipline for every viable build.
Signet Mastery’s about the only thing that tempts me into the Arms line (and I don’t currently run Arms). Considering even optimal condi builds don’t typically run Arms, it’d feel like raiding the line for it’s only treasure and then leaving it in the dust.
If FH was made baseline, though, I bet Arms would see way more use, though. For condi and direct damage builds.
I don’t know, I still enjoy playing Warrior in pvp. My build is all knockdowns, and really the only reason I run rampage for the additional kd. The only classes that still infuriate me are Mes and Engi. (Some Necros)
Just think anet wants war to stay in the middle of the pack.
The thing about this proposal, though, is it wouldn’t represent much in the way of a power increase for warriors, it’d just allow us greater flexibility when creating our builds, possibly allowing us to find more roles to fit into.
In a perfect world, all classes would be in the general vicinity of each other so the difference between being in the top or bottom of the pack wouldn’t matter so much.
Exactly,but the trait is so kitten useful for power builds and you usually go into arms when you run condi where blocking doesnt matter when condi’s have been applied and are ticking and the 6 sec of unblockable can be pretty pointless in that situation.Now when you would run a power build Gs/hamm or w/e where Signet mast would be placed into strength,wouldn’t that make more sense for unblockable to activate at 50%hp since you’re not relying on condi’s anyway ?
Would love to see it aswell.One question for you guys,do you think Signet Mastery is in the right spot? Do you ever trait for or make good use of Restorative strength ?
Why i’m asking is,i feel like Signet Mastery being moved to strength would make more sense imo..Restorative stength,for all i care could get removed entirely for something useful.
That completely depends on what you want to run,i’d suggest not to go full zerk right away.. Note; Mobility is a Must in WvW,either Sword or Gs..going without mobility is a deathwish.If you’re a new player,i hope you already tried out some pvp to give you a feeling of what you want to be using.
Always try out stuff in pvp first,it’s free and easy to test.If you’ go for anything like Gs/hamm make a combo of zerk/knight/valk to get some balance in your stats so you won’t be a complete wet noodle.Untill you got the exp and the feeling of warri in general and how to deal with certain classes/builds and fights vx numbers of people,drop the idea of going full zerk because you will get frustrated before you even get the chance to like and learn how to deal with everything.Warr is easy to play but hard to master especially in this meta.
Never spamm away your skills,make sure that what you want to land will land
Bait and count dodges
Dont try to stun or knockback someone that has stabi or block up,Keep your eyes on their boons
Always try to anticipate and act accordingly to what your opponent might be doing ( this comes with experience when you’ve fought multiple classes and know their spikes )
Do not spamm random dodges,make them count on skills you Need to dodge
Do not randomly push your utils but make sure you use them at the right time when needed
What ingame settings do you use ? I’d Highly suggest to lower the Character limit and Character quality setting since this is Extremely heavy on cpu’s ( No matter what cpu you have ) with alot of people near dropping your fps massively.
Also turning shadows to medium and reflections to terrain only will drastically improve your fps.
Your gpu isn’t the issue here btw,for e.g i switched some months agofrom a GTX560 to a GTX970 FTW+ and there is barely any improvement,Gw2 is just very cpu heavy like most mmo’s.
Ranger hate is bandwagon hate. People only hate rangers because it’s some sort of fashion to do so. One person complains about a ranger using Longbow 4 against an enemy they were in the middle of melee about – and the whole crowd followed them with pitchforks.
The same argument the OP has said about rangers can probably be said about most classes, as I’ve heard people saying Necromancers and Mesmers and Guardians are the easiest to play too in various map chat conversations, though there doesn’t seem to be an abhorrent hate following those classes like there is against the ranger.
No,that is what You personally think why people dislike rangers.I dislike them for their 1500- 1700 range pew pewe dmg comparable to landing a full 100b but without the need to even land an opener first to make a connect,its just stand and Pew Pew Pew Pew .It’;s quite kittening ridiculous if you ask me,Any fight they will join,you either have to bail or focus the ranger straight away.It’s too easy to land a powerfull burst with a ranger from 15 – 1700 range.
Lock a ranger into place while using rapid fire,no free movement so he has to think about when to actually use it instead of blindly pewpewing,and any movement after will cancel it immediately.
That may be one of the worst suggestions I’ve seen on a ranger. They already are locked in place practically.
If you are unable to dodge a ranger pew pewing from that range you deserve to lose every time period. There is plenty of utilities whether it be reflection, retaliation or obstacles to cause obstruction.
There is a reason why high ranks don’t use rangers, and it is most certainly not because they are OP. They are broken by anet.
They are already locked into place ? Hell no.
It would be a proper fix to a skill that’s too strong and easy to land,imagine the day where a ranger has to use his brain before landing rapidfire…Ouch !
It’s only easy for the ranger if their opponent stands still like a practice dummy. Against good players rangers need to manage their cooldowns, bait out dodges, and utilize everything they have to just stay alive since they don’t have a real reliable burst.
This game isn’t 1on1 orientated,realize it,it’s ok 1on1,but this game is teambased..rangers are always the add where you have to switch focus immediatly or simply bail when you’re alone.Then again,if rangers are getting locked in place when using rapid fire..they have to think when to use it..atm it’s just spam away blindly while moving around.Rapid fire does too much dmg without the need for an opener to land in comparison to other burst skills on other classes.
Besides,you dont even see me asking for a nerf on dmg ór on projectile velocity…it’s the fact that rangers can use a burst like this without a second thought
So in your scenario the problem is you have a ranger standing still somewhere off point firing away at you while your fighting someone else….. how would your idea harm the ranger in this situation? You are arguing to make them weaker 1v1 without solving what you are complaining about.
The argument isn’t that i want the skill to be changed because of an 1on1 scenario.When rangers add on a 1on1 fight for e.g and start off with rapid fire there is nothing besides reflect that could scare them off from not using it,not talking about any invuln either.Now when you make it so rangers are being locked into place when using a high velocity skill like rapid fire ( aka hundred blades at range imo,feel free to disagree ),any movement will interrupt it.
When you would be fighting someone 1on1 and the ranger adds in the fight at range,the ranger has to make sure he;s able to fully connect all hits and making sure he’s far enough foryou to not chance targets and focus him directly so he has to either cancel out rapid fire or pop an invuln.I dont ask for a nerf to anything honestly,i just really feel that there is no skill involved in using such a high burst skill as rapid fire,and locking rangers into place will make sure they have have to think about when to actually use it.

Is this meant to be ? Because the bug has been reported several times now and still hasn’t been fixed.Either adjust the tooltip correctly or put the duration back to 6 sec base.

People were able to live and move on with their lives through the no white swords gambit, I’m sure people will continue to live and get back to their old routines when the golem gambit is over with.
That event was actually ok for small scale roamers,lotta people liked it since there was more need for proper scouting aswell.This event on the otherhand is most of all Bugged and they didnt have it in them to respond on the issue.Besides i havent met a single person besides a ktrainer that liked this event.
Lost faith and respect in them for staying silent during the entire week of a golem event that no one wanted + the bug that didn’t got resolved or any attention put to it for that matter.Just another reason for me to not buy hot or spend anymore money on this game,will i stay playing ? Sure,wvw is ALL I DO,im such an exception.
Sorry but,i really won’t.I dont see the point of hanging in an ingame house.Others might..sure..But when i login i wanna Play.
You know, not all players all the same. Some like to play with themselves in their Home Instance. We already have upgrades like nodes, trees, and cloth lines. There’s also a Wintersday tree and Hidden Bandit Chest. Anet added these things so players can play.
While it’s true that many like to play with themselves in their home instance, many like to do that while in open PvE also,
Participate in the ONE WEEK event or don’t. I shouldn’t be surprised that people are saying such things but I still am.
I’m just gonna repost this here for those who keep stating “It’s only 1 week”:
Do you really think people are mad about just the golem event? It’s not only the event, it’s that the golem event is a tipping point, the last straw for a lot of people. It’s that the WvW pop feels that Anet doesn’t care about them, the game mode, and is just straight up ignoring them. They’re mad that the president of the company thinks that there aren’t people who ONLY play WvW, that WvW players are really just confused PvE players. They’re mad that there are bugs that have been around for years, and no decent updates or changes to the system.
Went out of the spawn trying to do some roaming. This is basically the first greeting I received.
Ha..my experience yday,also the first thing i met was a thief exploiting,had 14k backstab on me and lightning strike ( sig ) that popped for 4.6 i think,just lol…
This silence from anet is wonderful aswell.
