Magnetron.5823:

Will the skill lag be fixed in WvW on the new build?

Skill lag will NEVER be fixed!

Bill Friest Posted months ago that he was making Skill Delay his number 1 priority but if they had made any kind of progress or had any positive news to tell us they would have posted about it by now if only to alleviate some of the frustration.

I don’t think they even have a clue what’s causing it let alone fix it.

Anet you seriously NEED to sort out this LAG and SKILL DELAY, Do you think we as a player base are going to wait around forever for you to pull your finger out of your anus?

There are other games being released in the near future you know!.

Pwnzor.5682:

is it true that shatter builds wil be nerfed soon?

Everything about Mesmer’s will be useless if the crybabies get their way

Yea it would be nice to see a reworked Scepter/Torch condition build, Apparently Prismatic Understanding is awesome now.

Congratulations, Now you can concentrate on “Ultimate Server Hopping” Achi

Oh, There isn’t one for that because you’d have it already

Nah i won’t be re-rolling and i also won’t be putting another £ into this game, I’ll just wait for some other game to arrive then i’m gone.

Never known of Devs to listen wholeheartedly to the biggest bunch of crybabies i have ever seen in a gaming community.

Time to move on to another game just as soon as one is available because Anet just couldn’t give a hoot.

Your post was well put Pyro but i very much doubt Anet will give it a second glance.

NVM seems to be ok now.

Since the patch nobody in EB seems to be able to see the commander tag! :/

Anyone else notice this?

Kodash + Augury Double teaming us!….Same old same old, If that’s the only way you can get things done then bring it on.

Ashley Segovia.8276:

I’ll go ahead and update this thread as well since people are following different threads – Just to let you all know we made some adjustments on our end last night which will hopefully resolve your connectivity issues. If anyone is still experiencing any latency or disconnects please submit a technical support ticket.

Hi Ashley, Is it possible you can please ask Bill Friest to give us an update on the “SKILL DELAY” Issue? It’s been a long time now and it’s getting very frustrating.

Thanks…:)

And so it begins!….The mesmer changes haven’t even been introduced yet and the crybabies are at it. You kitten Whiner’s already had our only viable condition nerfed to the ground so give it a kitten rest.

Loco.4561:

I have a fix, don’t play GW2, I for one am getting pretty fed up with things like this, you cannot expect people to enjoy your game and play competitively when it’s like this, it is not fit for purpose.

Indeed, I am getting to that mindset too. Anet are VERY good at totally avoiding a game breaking issue, What with this “Network Lag” + “Skill Delay” This game just isn’t running as it was intended! Nowhere near.

Nothing surprises me about Anet anymore, They have already proven their arrogance on a number of occasions. They have transformed from the respectful company they where when they managed GW1 to a company that couldn’t give a kitten but give us your money.

One things for sure! There are many other MMO’s released later this year and Anet better start giving a kitten otherwise they are going to lose a large chunk of the market.

On another note: Bill Freist has “Apparently” Made it his number one priority to fix SKILL DELAY yet hasn’t had the decency to make a sticky and keep us updated on any progress made even though he knows how severe and game breaking problem it is.

SupahSpankeh.8452:

Ashley,

It’s time chap, we need an update. An ETA, a confirmation of who’s looking at it, or an explanation of root cause.

Last time I had to cross post and post to reddit to get an official response. Please don’t make me do this again, it’s pretty dull.

Sad thing is that this thread will grow to 6 pages long like the other one, Other threads will be made, Players will be angry and another month will pass before some Moderator appears and asks for the same information all over again.

Ashley….

I also am going to be asking for a refund

“I can’t give any status update” is unacceptable. We have been experiencing this lag for months now and you have even collected the information you have from this thread from a previous thread months ago and never replied to it since.

To jog your memory…

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Lag-Long-Loading-and-Error-7-11-3-189-101/page/6#post2202362

Yea i and many many others where seriously kitten ed off with the queue’s too but we didn’t jump ship! We stuck with it.

I have respect for the people that are still here (like yourself) People who toughed it out.

Anyway that is my opinion and i won’t voice it any further.

Saint Scarlet.2906:

TUP are always welcome to post in Piken’s thread. They are one of the best guilds out there and some of us like to keep abreast of their endeavours(they being former Piken and nice/friendly).

yea TUP where apparently hardcore Pikeneers, Till they deserted us when the going got tough. Sorry but in my eyes they are just another server hopping [RG] guild and should stick to their own threads.

Ashley PLEASE can you keep us updated with any information you find regarding these issues and don’t leave the community hanging for a month like the other thread because this is what causes frustration.

Thanks for your hard work.

I’m thinking Anet needs to hire more staff, Their customer support used to be pretty good but the last few months it has been abismal.

Live Response Team MY kitten .

I had to log out tonight due to 5+ seconds guild chat delay, WVW was totally unplayable.

I’d also like to add that Ashley replied to the thread below asking for people to submit diag reports stating that it appeared to be a “level3.net” related issue, That was a month ago and we haven’t heard from her since.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Lag-Long-Loading-and-Error-7-11-3-189-101/first

Did Ashley get abducted by Aliens?

Good Luck getting ANY kind of reply, There are threads about this covered in cobwebs that they don’t even reply to.

They keep this up and they will be lucky to have any customers at all.

They couldn’t give a rats ass, On a side note….Gem sales are going very well.

But seriously they do need to update the community on the lag “Crisis” And Skill delay.

Ah ok, I’ll give that a try. Nice build btw Takes some getting used to which is a challenge

Is the Retaliation gained from the leap/swap bugged? Many times i have stood on the temporal curtain and receive the speed buff but after activating leap i only get the Retaliation now and then :/

Here’s a little tip for JS and AR, Try venturing into each others territory now and then instead of double teaming us

You can rest assured it’s not your internet or your Pc’s performance, It’s Anet’s servers which they have admitted. I am not sure they will even fix it because they are keeping very quiet about any progress they have made despite the mass of complaints and frustrated players.

Sunspots.9861:

Guess what, I don’t know what the answer is, but I do know the guy in charge has zero kittening clue and is tossing darts into a dartboard. Ironically, the best answer is for us all to just quit because at least tht will 100 pct fix wvw as it stands now.

Indeed, I too don’t know the answer but i and many others are NOT going to put up with this kitten much longer, This game is in a terrible state and Anet knows it.

I predict an exodus of players to other games (there is already rampant talk about it in wvw)

What with the lack of information regarding LAG and SKILL DELAY, And now this kitten! People can only take so much kitten you know.

The game is just one giant lagfest and i can’t believe Anet is keeping people in the dark like this. The customer relations is a joke.

Way to go Anet! You have once again proven that you are utterly USELESS.

Anet will NEVER admit it but this game is Screwed and they haven’t got the foggiest idea how to fix it, Hence the lack of any information regarding major issues.

They don’t give any updates about “Skill Delay” They don’t give any updates about “Lag and Long loading”

Your not going to get one about “Crashes” Because Anet likes to keep the people who are paying their wages “In The Dark”

Good Luck….

There is already a thread about this here…

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Lag-Long-Loading-and-Error-7-11-3-189-101/page/4#post2155121

Although Ashley hasn’t responded to it in some time so i wouldn’t hold your breath on any help! Good Luck.

You made the mistake of putting “unable to cast” and “lag” in your thread, Anet runs a million miles if they see those words in ANY thread.

What your experiencing is Skill Delay and Anet’s servers are the culprit!

You will never hear another word in this thread from Anet, They avoid anything that is their fault like the plague.

Anet Never cease to amaze with their stupidity!

Time to find another game to play because this one has gone from Good, To bad, To worse.

Ian Smith.8690:

I have now spent time on a subject I do not care to read about.

Yet you took the time to reply in detail, You say it is a subject you do not care about but then proceed to say you hope they fix it. You made me lol.

Just for you i edited the title.

Ashley Segovia.8276:

No problem Colly. The link isn’t related to Skill Delay but it’s just an example of a response from Gameplay Programmer Bill Freist who says he is aware of this issue and making it his priority at the moment.

Again, I’m sorry for any inconvenience this may cause but we don’t have an ETA for a fix at this time.

Ashley that link is totally unrelated to the “Skill Delay” issue, I don’t see anything in that thread from Bill Freist acknowledging the issue of skill delay. Sorry!

BillFreist.1527:

Glad you guys are happy

I’m sure we’ll evaluate any additional bugs with multi monitor play and get those addressed in a future update. Until then, addressing the “skill lag” issues are my number 1 priority.

See you guys in-game!

-Bill

………….

Ah didn’t notice that, thanks for highlighting it. Is there any way Bill Freist can update us on any progress made? If any. Players are Very Very frustrated at the moment.

Ashley Segovia.8276:

Hello Colly – Just letting you know that Skill Delay is a known issue and this has been addressed multiple times in various threads as seen here:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Eyefinity/page/3#post2088595

At this time there is no ETA for a fix but it is being looked into.

Thanks for the reply at least, BTW Ashley you link has nothing to do with skill delay :/

SKILL DELAY!

When is it going to be fixed, Are you even working on it? A guess, Anything is better than ignoring EVERY single kitten post that is made about it.

Any kind of bump in the terrain, Up an incline or down one and the Illusion gets confused and either stutters or just stops. Don’t bother expecting a fix because Anet hates Mesmer’s.

Same problem here! Might not seem important to some but i am used to targeting with right MB.

Cloe.5384:

This is really bad problem. Everytime i start playing any of my characters after 10 secs the skills are lagging more and more and then i lost connection. EVERYTIME i try start playing.. this is happening last 5 days.. and i was playing gw2 for a half of a year without problems. Internet is going normally, nothing wrong. Can anyone help me please??

Let me tell you there is nothing wrong with your internet, Anet have serious problems regarding their Network but REFUSE to admit it. Also they really need to fix the god kitten skill delay before they find themselves sat in a board meeting wondering where the hell the player base went.

I believe that error is when you go away from keyboard for a period of time then try to use the TP, Try re-logging and it should fix it.

kitsuneKyo.6824:

i’d really like a DEV commenting on if they are aware of this

Hahaha, Next joke.

Anet are well known for totally ignoring any posts regarding Lag or Skill Delay – Or bugs they can’t fix.

Try making another post that you are unable to buy gems, You will be amazed how fast you get a response

Skill delay is a big issue in wvw especially in peak time, Anet are aware of it and have stated that they are working to resolve it! However they refuse to comment on any progress they may have made.

I wouldn’t hold my breath on any kind of fix for it soon, If at all.

Good luck in getting a reply from Anet, They couldn’t give a rats kitten about Lag/Skill delay.

I would rather they fixed the god kitten “SKILL DELAY” before anything else.
