I honestly can’t think of a single time where I experienced something like this. Huh.
Then you really havn’t played alot,the bug has been going on since i can remember tbh.
It can happen when you jump or leap and when in mid air you get immobi applied on you..Making your character Compltely uncontrollable,cant use skills,cant use utils,your char is stuck doing this jumping up and down animation.
The thing is, you were saying how Vaanss was basically running away until he got a clean shot. In my opinion, he totally outplayed them on a build that had just enough sustain in that situation if you play it as well as he does.
Off course the vid only shows his successes, and, outside of dueling, they will probably be lower in number then his failures.
I know,i didn’t mean anything bad by it though,just stating the obvious.I run the same kind of build as vaans actually,just diff sigils/runes and not even using ep but signet of might instead to deal with guards block.It’s really fun if things connect,but i know from experience that the sustain is horrid,and you really have to be on your toes.I also have lots of fails offc,but when it does work..it’s such fun indeed.
He ran across half the map “fighting” 2 guys,i know Vaans is a great player,but you have to be serious..the build has no sustain whatsoever.No cleansin ire,no dogged march,no adren hp,no safety for condi spamm neither,fun build to play..but really there’s 0 sustain besides having ep.
The build has just enough sustain to do what needs to be done; kill. The fun comes from trying to do that to them before they manage to do it to you. And Vaanss has a lot of fun.
This is exactly the problem with DPS builds: people refusing to understand the mind set required.
@OP
Props to being one of the people who aren’t whiners.
What are you even talking about ? Refusing the mindset required ? What a nonsense comment.Nowhere did i say anything bad about Vaans,or his build besides having no sustain..nor did i say that i never run these type of builds myself,nor did i say i ""dont have the mindset required " I’m simply stating theres little to no sustain in this build..That’s it.I run lots of zero sustain builds aswell,cus i play to have Fun,not to roll meta builds.Atleast make some sense next time.
You can get the IP of the server you’re connected to with the /ip command as well. When you check your latency as Caedmon suggests, make sure you’re looking at the server IP you got using the /ip command.
GW2.exe also keeps connections open to the gem store and those typically have much higher latencies, so don’t freak out.
Yes there’s one connection usually around 209 latency,and its not moving at all..I think thats the gemstore connection you meant.
Part of the question is figuring out what would be the circumstances for a Kill Shot to deal 14K crit damage to a Thief.
Here’s a picture from the combat log;
Oh forget about this part of your question.
Gear =Full Zerk.
Prob 6/2/0/06
+ Power /Prec food.
There’s your 14k crits with kill shot.
I’m running 6/4/0/0/4 and my volley will do 9K+ on thieves if they all hit Rifle 1 “fierce shot” will crit for 3k on light armour opponents.
Wow, I followed the 62006 build and that’s just crazy. If my calculation is correct, it can go all the way to 20K crit if the Thief has 10 stacks of vulnerability (i.e. from “On my mark”).
This is great, thanks.
I used to run axe/mace – rifle for a while to try and stack that invuln..I didnt use on my mark though.But.. Axe 2 = 4 vuln for 8 sec , Mace 4 = 10 Vuln for 10 sec , Then Rifle 4 = 8 Vuln for 12 sec…Can be hard to apply and keep them all up while trying to land killshot though…But man that damage.
Probably no roamers anymore
Everyone pvding
Zerglings allover
The one roamer you do find is Full condi cheese
15 ppl hanging inside a tower to wait if someone passes so they can all jump that solo guy
blob fights turned into range vs range stand there and ….Try not to fall asleep in the meanwhile…
Happening on range builds,obviously..Some classes/weapons seem to be more afffected than others.Normally i run double melee builds on my warr,got bored of it lately so i picked up rifle some time ago..and man the random obstructs going on is really getting on my nerves,espec when it’s happening on a Burst skill whereafter i will lose all my adren because of That random obstruct,something that isn’t my fault is making me miss my burst + losing all my adren and needing to rebuild it again.
And no it’s not like im trying to fight someone that somewhere high up a slope..It’s happening on even terrain where the slightest difference in height makes my shots getting obstruct.
I’m ok with losing a fight because i mess up myself
Im not ok with losing a fight where most of my hits are getting obstructed or simply not hitting at all because of a fault in the game.
Is this fixable ? are there technical limitations that’s holding you from fixing it ?
This build is far too squishy and has little sustain. If i wanted to run from my opponents id just roll a ranger, any half decent player would beat this build. That warrior you faced had no clue wtf he was doing lol.
Wrong, some of his opponent does has decent fighting capacity. But what truely shine is the mobility to kite 3 players, and can constantly 1 v 2 of the players due to superior mobility/ sustain and better cleave than ranger. Ranger really has some trouble to fight 2 or more competent foes at the same time.
He ran across half the map “fighting” 2 guys,i know Vaans is a great player,but you have to be serious..the build has no sustain whatsoever.No cleansin ire,no dogged march,no adren hp,no safety for condi spamm neither,fun build to play..but really there’s 0 sustain besides having ep.
Everyone is already poo poo on the new BL map. Everyone needs to take a moment and RELAX. None of you have played it so making a snap judgement is very premature. I’m willing to play it and give a fair try before declaring that Anet has destroyed WvW.
Because people seen how Eotm turned out,and theyre afraid it’s gonna be ANother eotm…They have all the rights to be scared of that to happen.
“We were OP before and you took that from us… give it back!!”
Everyone screamed and complained about how zergs and blobs steamrolled through everything – so a change was made to level the field a bit and everyone is screaming how they cannot steamroll through everything.
That’s not the case,atm it’s just a boring range spamm fest,the melee trains were fun,with linebackers ranging around.Now 2 blobs stand still and Everyone range each other ..when one blob moves towrds the other,the other blob moves back,there is 0 melee going on…And if this is gonna be gw2 for now.Then meh,time to find something else,because this were 2 horribly boring days of gw2 so far.
If you skip the launcher with command line switches you can get the game to launch even with sweetfx d3d9.dll in the bin folder and retain sweetfx functionality
-autologin -nopatchui -email YOUREMAILHERE -password YOURPASSWORDHERE
That’s what I mean. I have, well.. actually 2 copies of d3d9.dll in my GW2 directory. One in the root, and one in the bin folder.
But SweetFX stops working if I use the command to log into GW2. I assume the command is placed in your GW2 shortcut’s Target line? So like…
Target: “C:\Program Files\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe” -autologin -nopatchui etc…?
Same here,SweetFx does not work if i use those autologin commands + nopatchui.I can however login with clicking on initialize or just above it and then press play.
Actually, you can still use them (at least SweetFX). Apparently, the launcher just isn’t being rendered correctly, but all the elements are there. So you just can’t see it, but it works.
How then ?
Give it the time it usually takes to initialize. Press Enter. Wait for it to log in (maybe 2 seconds) and then Enter again.
Alternatively, you can also click where the buttons are supposed to be, if you know where they are and want to have some fun.
(This assuming your login information is saved)
Thats not working for me,neither did the trick someone else posted about using autologin + nopatchui..game logs in, but no sweetfx.

Actually, not really. “It’s the engine” would explain it if his PC were nowhere near as good as it is, but with this one, OP should get more than an average of 35 FPS. That number is perfectly acceptable, even great for events like Tequatl, but just a normal map should have a consistently higher number. I average around 50 with a less powerful setup.
Maybe the fix really is a simple as Vex suggested. Take video card out and put it in again. Computers are idiots, so maybe that helps.
It Is the engine,I also have 35Fps in LA in the south section near portals where the bank is located etc,it is normal for most systems,also for his.The game isnt optimized for High end systems,its just the way it is.I have an older pc here with a phenom x4 and a 560ti that blast this game just as hard as a newer pc i have with an octocore and a 2x more expensive gpu the diff is barely noticable.
" i sometimes even noticed that trying to shoot through a turret (with crack shot enabled) would cause the shot to be obstructed. "
Every target that comes infront of your los will be hit instead.For E.g when you just press killshot aimed at a necro,a guardian walks infront of your los with aegis up.your killshot will be blocked by him,eventhough you aimed at the nec.
Other then that random terrain obstructs do happen far too much,and it’s pretty painfull to see it happen on a burst skill.
One thing that would improve rampage is if we could keep the signets active during rampage. You get higher hp, armor and resistance to condis but you lose the healing signet. That is a big problem. If you stay for full duration you just lost 20s of healing signet.
That would be too strong,you can pop berserk or ep Right before you pop rampage.But being able to use all utils in rampage is op.
IF you lose a keep to 5 catas like that without trying to counter it…I think thats your own fault.Theres lots of ways to counter them.you failing at them doesnt mean it’s bad game design.You also obviously havnt played the first year in wvw where it took about double the time it takes now to get anything down…and no it wasnt fun
Alright dude, I am bowing out of here. You guys win. It is all my fault our keep was taken in 5 minutes. You are right, game mechanics have nothing to do with it.
Because people disagree ? I didn’t mean it’s “Your fault” as in you’re the only able to counter it,there’s more people on your server able to do the same.besides you got siege disablers aswell,with 2 people you can lock people’s siege down for eternity.

I’m talking about pressing the buttons on the keyboard
If you have issues with using skills on keyboard,not being able to reach them fast enough or w/e.It’d be a good thing to invest some money in a mouse with 12 side buttons,ever since i got my razer naga some years ago i cannot go without it.Being able to use all skills with only your thumb is a night and day difference compared to using keyboard for skills.
If you do decide to go for one,i really advice to test the mouse youre going for first,see if you like the grip and how it fits in your hand.For e.g i bought the naga 2014 some months ago after owning the 2012 version…and ive quickly returned it to the shop for another 2012 version since the 2014 side buttons clicked too easily ( I accidently clicked 6 Alot when using 5 – 3 or 9 ) and the grip was off for the size of my hand.
Yeah i think it would definetly help.I can remember when aion got released it had a 32bit client only,the “zerg” fights were Horribly lagging.When they released their 64bit client it really made a Huge impact on performance.Eventhough it’s cryengine,it’s still dx9…Cant anet do the same with their engine ?
Want to add that i recently upgraded my gpu’s ( since one died ) from 2x Gtx560ti to a 970FTW+ and the performance is barely noticable in gw2 ( although playing smoother ),while in other games its making a big difference..Besides it also seems my gpu is barely being used,sitting at 34 – 36c under Full load in gw2.When i play Watchdogs for e.g im hitting 50+c atleast.
Your problem might be the cpu, as the graphic rendering is done first in the cpu. Then the gpu receives what the cpu has processed.
Yeh tbh i was actually thinking about it and you might be right,im still running on an old fx 8120 ( Yes the crappy bulldozer architecture,not piledriver ),eventhough oc’d to 4.6 i think its somehow bottlenecking my performance atm.And the thing is Amd currently doesnt have any upgrades really worth the effort besides getting a 8320 or 8350,i wont even look at the 9370 which is just an oc’d 8350 anyways.And that prob will stay till 2016 june/juli when they might release cpu’s with better architecture and start to use a similair method like intels SMT.So for now im either stuck with this,or throw down 200e for a 8350…Intel is out of the question since my mobo is amd only.
11 months ago, so only another 6-9months before they maybe think about looking at it…. (jk)
Probably…I really don’t know what’s holding them…Now with the adren loss on miss its kinda infuriating at times having to miss a burst and lose 3 full bars of adren not even cus of your own fault..frustrating, espec when it’s a game changer.
Probably a quirk in the game that’s not able to be fixed.
Possibly related – I don’t know if it’s still the case but you use to be able to LoS ranged NPCs using low objects like benches and fences.
Back on topic, sorta, I have been leveling an Ele and once in a while FGS #4 will send me in the opposite direction I’m facing.
Yeah ive noticed that with the ele Gs aswell it’s the same on gs for warr,same can go for leaps aswell jumping in the wrong direction or even backwards while not aiming there.

Skill 3,Dash is kinda bugged atm.It works like how Bullscharge used to be bugged..Overshooting – missing people cus of it and doing no dmg.,quite sad on a transform skill with such a long cd.Ive been playing a bit with rampage aswell and it happens quite alot tbh,no one else noticing this ?
Oh btw fellow rampage users…I know some fun trick.Get an ele next to you let him throw GS,pop rampage and pick up the sword…Now your a Tank with 36k+ hp,4.5k+ toughness and a Gs to use.Great fun espec in wvw,to jump in a zerg with it. d
Graphics settings: Everything as high as it goes (FXAA antialiasing, Native Render Sampling (as I don’t think this does anything at 4k resolution)), Best Texture Filtering checked, Depth Blur checked, Effect LOD checked, High-Res Character Textures checked. I play in Windowed Fullscreen with default refresh rate and unlimited frame limiter.
Auido settings: Sound Quality slider all the way to Highest Quality, Music Interval is in middle, Mixing Buffer Size is all the way to Most Stable.
And I don’t have this issue on anything else that I do/play so I can safely say it’s not a cpu throttle, but I will monitor that and check/report it here next time this happens to me.
Try switching from windowed fullscreen to fullscreen and set the Player quality and limit both to low.

This does happen after playing for a while. Just had it happen again and I’ve been playing for 2 hours right now. Usually takes longer than that.
As for heat, that’s not the issue. I have a massive CPU heatsink (Noctua NH-D14) which Prime95 never got it above 75c and no game is going to push it as hard as Prime95 does. And GW2 is CPU intensive so my 970 isn’t even at 100% usage even while playing at 3840×2160 resolution. So heat is not an issue. I do only have 8Gb of 133MHz DDR3 ram though, and if it’s that there is a memory leak somewhere, that could very well be causing the issue. I haven’t checked for that yet though.
What are your ingame settings, your Audio quality and the other slider towards latency or balance ?
Besides are you absolutely sure its not cpu throttling based on activity at the moment maybe related to bios settings like speedstep ,c1 etc ?
Warrior is the one class that can be survivable and still keep its high damage builds. In order for your guardian to be survivable he has to give up DPS sources.
Warrior has Healing signet, the best heal in the game (that and the healing from 3 bar adrenaline basically gives you a free 400+ hp regen per tick, it’s insane).
Warrior also has heavy armor an a 7k base hp advantage over low hp classes. That means he can also absorb burst. Then you have stances like endure pain and shield stance on his offset (axe+shiel instead of axe+mace if your group is fine stacking vulnerability) and it’s really no contest.
All the other classes who want to build tanky will not come close to touching the damage of a warrior.
Really, either warrior or guardian. There’s good reason heavy armor professions are preferred by melee frontlines in WvW and in dungeon pugs.
Did you ever use Healsig ? Its 372, Not 400+ ..It Used to be 400+ before our nerfs because of people crying it ws too strong.Have you taken a look at incoming regen and healsources from other classes while they Still have their normal heal available with the regen incoming ? Warrs have just healsig and That’s it,it’s Far from the strongest heal ingame.
372 PLUS the healing you also get from full adrenaline trait.
It seems you haven’t used the other classes. In a group scenario everyone will have regen, so it’s pointless to say somebody will have regen.
The healing per second of healing signet outheals any single heal any other class has in the game. It is virtually a free heal you get to have passively and then you can pop a burst heal on top of that if needed.
Something tells me you haven’t played necromancer if you think your heal is “ok”.
The heal from adren will be used for bursting/cleansing mostly,its not consistent and it isn’t a usable heal on command.You can’t slap that together with healsig and say oh look warrs have a constant 400hp sec incoming regen,thats plain bullkitten.
Why do so many in this thread care about how other people look? Aside from the obvious five wings blocking the view of the boss in dungeons argument everything else is about how OTHERS will look with the wings.
Why do you care if there are 1000 people running around with this? Also, it appears that you actually want the wings – for your own chars – as long as others cannot get them. Special snowflakes…
Why do you care how others think about this then ? Obviously i don’t wanna look the same as everyone else…was there really a need to explain this ….. ? With a game where you can make so many adjustment to how you can look and how you can differ yourself from others,it’d be strange for people to make all look a likes.And seeing 1000 people with the same items will be breaking immersion for me.Indeed,im a special snowflake
In that case you have the option to not use the things that the other 1000 people are using. So don’t use the wings and feel special. That was my point, many here want the wings because they find them great but don’t want others to use them as well, since that would make them less unique.
Holy kitten,did you even Read my first porst ? I said that i Will Not Buy them if i see 1000 ppl wearing them,you made no point.
Tbh this is just sad that they still havnt fixed a gamebreaking bug like this…I know about threads made long before this where they actually responded at.. with this
Tyler chapman:“This is a global issue that I responded to in another thread. We are working on pinning this down and fixing it. Thanks!”
Do you even understand what p2w means ?
That’s buying Stat increase items,Stronger weapons,Armor with higher base stats that would give you an edge over your opponent just for laying down money while others can’t.There is None of this in the gemstore.

I;m liking the look of it alot…But seeing as many people will buy them….I’m starting to doubt if i’m actully gonna wear them at all.I don’t wanna be that 1000th guy with black wings on his back.
Rifle 1 “fierce shot” will crit for 3k on light armour opponents.
