Guild Wars 2

I have lost count how many threads have been made regarding skill delay/lag. Anet have stated it is a server side issue and that they are working to resolve it, Personally I don’t think they know how to.

It does seem to be getting worse with every patch and really NEEDS addressing.

Can these be transmuted to the stats you want and then upgraded to ascended?

I have been trying to get a skill point in Malchor’s leap for 5 days now, It has a Champion Risen Knight spawned right over it + a Veteran spark. But Anet continue to add useless content that draws players away and leaves previous area’s a ghosts town.

People will soon get tired of this kitten.

Anet needs to test things before they implement them, They are making themselves look like complete Amateurs with recent patches.

Ripoff,

Why waste all those Tier 6 mats and Gold for an extra +5 stats when you can get +100 from food.

Seriously ANET!

Just give us a kitten answer on the status of a skill delay fix? We have a right to know instead of giving us “We are aware of it and believe me we are working hard to resolve it”

I agree also but you you can keep making these threads and they will continue to sink to the bottom of the pile. This problem is something they will keep saying “We are aware of this and can assure you we are working on it” But it will never get fixed.

What we need is an update from Anet to tell us where exactly they are up to with it.

I agree completely OP! However this thread will sink to the bottom of the pile like all the rest have done, Most definitely viewed but left unanswered by anyone employed at Anet.

They either don’t give a rats kitten or haven’t got the foggiest idea how to fix it.

I seriously hope the DEVS are going to reimburse players in some way, I myself spent over 40g building and gearing my Mesmer only for it to be shelved and all my hard earned gear and ascended items gathering dust in the bank.

Anet is famous for making drastic changes without thinking about how it will affect the game overall.

Because Anet doesn’t nerf builds/skills on a Professional level, They do it after months of crying from braindead button mashing morons who don’t have the IQ to realize they have a purple swirl on their bar and a fuzzy head.

Oh yes!

i’m gonna cry like all the braindead idiots did who continued to mash skills and didn’t realize they they had a purple swirl.

Guardians are OP
Ele’s are OP
Thieves are OP

Nerf all 3 please.

Seriously! Does Riverside know how to do anything other than run round the map in one massive ball :/

It just makes the game no fun and such a lagfest.

In Gw1 Anet cared about changes that where made, Sadly in Gw2 it’s a whole new team who couldn’t give a rats kitten

DevonCarver.5370:

There are very definitely WvW changes in bound. The release notes will be worth reading.

Maybe Fix mesmer before screwing us over? I’m not really fussed about confusion being nerfed but for god sake fix the clones not holding offhand weapon first.

This is ridiculous! There are numerous threads about this annoying bug and not a single acknowledgement from a mod to confirm it is known and being worked on :/

Yoke.4671:

FYI folks blobs of 50+ people cause’s skill lag.
You don’t have to all roam as one massive group you know, you can split into two big groups or have some small groups roam and leave the main zerg/blob as 30~

Most 30v30 fights for the most part are lag ‘free’ for example and its enough to take stuff if move smart and tactically. If two servers are determined to move as 50+ blobs all the time then its gona lead to skill lag for all of us alot of the time(and lead the 3rd server to eventually blob aswell even just to defend)
We all hate Skill-lag and although the argument for it being Anets fault is correct, you don’t have to encourage it by blobbing so kitten much.

I’m not saying PS never blob and only AR and BB do, but god kitten do BB like to not do anything if its not 50+
The lag just sucks the fun out of everything. That and looking at the score you can see that you don’t have to move as 1 massive blob to win(I never really worry about the score and play for the fun, but its a valid argument V blobbing)

Exactly this.

Where are the coordinated, organized battles these days? Wv’sW is getting boring fast because of 50+ zergs roaming the map trying to get as much wxp as possible. It’s even giving skill delay at the start zones it’s become that bad.

I used to play wvw for hours at a time because it used to be FUN! I hardly bother anymore

WvW did used to be organized and tactful but since Anet added the ranking system it has become blob v’s blob! Which causes really bad skill delay’s and is not even fun anymore.

Yes there obviously used to be Zerging before but not on a scale like it is now, It’s gone beyond ridiculous.

lordkrall.7241:

Why stand around doing nothing while you wait?
It is fully possible to play the game just as usual while in queue after all.

Because sometimes i only want to play wvw and these queue times are ridiculously long at peak times?

Is there any way we can have an audible alarm when WvW is ready to travel? Maybe then i can go watch TV rather than staring at my screen waiting for a window that stays open for 30 secs.

Take notice of what conditions are stacked on you before you mindlessly attack and stop coming to the forums asking for peoples classes to be nerfed just because your too dumb.

I think it’s disgraceful that this thread isn’t replied to by Anet regularly (not once since the thread was made) to acknowledge the problem and an assurance it’s being investigated and worked on.

C’mon Anet you know by now that communicating with the people who are paying your wages keeps them from exploding with frustration.

It’s like this, I am giving this game one more month and if this Lag doesn’t improve i am done with Gw2, There are plenty other online games out there besides this one.

Bump for the Devs.

WoW 32 pages long but hey! It’s still our ISP’s fault.

Human Mesmer with scepter and torch, The clones only hold the scepter. As Entropy stated above it’s not hard to spot the real mesmer! Just kill the one who’s hand is lit up like a bonfire :/

This bug has been in the game for a long time, I have reported it several times and always get the reply “We are aware of this issue”

They can’t fix major class bugs such as this yet they can add pointless content to the game like “Super Annoying Box”

Zerging wasn’t really a problem before they added the ranks, It definitely is now though because the zergs have doubled in size with all players wanting to gain as much WXP as possible.

Usually only the massive SM battles gave everyone skill lags but now it’s EVERY fight at every keep/tower/camp :/

Open world pvp is for Elitist children who get off on roaming in groups killing lone players that are trying to quest then dancing over their corpse because it makes them feel like some kind of GOD.

Augury + Riverside Teaming up again today, Is that the only way you can get things done? Should be ashamed of yourselves.

Should rename thread to “What’s the size of your kitten”

I’m not sure how they are going to do it but they NEED to do something soon to stop these mindless blob trains, WvW has lost all coordination and skill it had before and now rest’s on which server can form the biggest crowd.

IMO WvW was fine before, They just needed to fix culling (which they did, and did a great job) Why the hell they added the rest is beyond me :/

They did a good job with removing culling, Skill lag is a totally different issue. The only issue i have in wvw now is the kitten titles under everyone’s name, Good idea for PvE bad idea for wvw.

You think the staff looks Feminine? You should see the Bow.

Master of Timespace.2548:

Prepare for twin humiliation, Piken Square.

We are still waiting for this Humiliation.

WvW, PvE Daily, Farm Behemoth, Fractals, Cof, Level Alt, More WvW.

Personally i think MF gear is a farce.

I just submitted a ticket over this which has been ongoing for 2/3 weeks, I ran the client diagnostic and the pingplotter trace and eventually Anet told me what i KNEW they was going to tell me “please contact your ISP”

I have had it with the bullcrap and lack of response on this issue from ANET.

There are no replies from Anet to anything regarding Latency in this game. Obviously they don’t give a monkeys.

Same here, game has been so laggy i had to log-off early because i couldn’t stand it.

I have sent a ticket into Anet support with a diagnostic atatchment but i am not holding my breath for them to sort it out because they will either blame it on my ISP or say that my drivers are out of date like they usually do.

As someone else posted earlier in the thread, I have noticed an drop in FPS drop since recent patches. Dragon/Boss events lag to a point where it’s only possible to use skill number 1 and even the bosses themselves act out of the ordinary where the normal attack pattern gets disrupted.

Same thing in WvW, I only ever avoided mass zerg fights or battles at SM where my FPS would drop to 10/15fps but that appears to be happening now when encountering enemy fights of just 10 to 15.

Anet REALLY needs to respond to this and tell us exactly where they are at because at this point it is seriously ruining the enjoyment of the game.

Pride in your server doesn’t exist! WvW guilds will always want to be in the top tiers even if that means server hopping.

I used to think thieves in WvW where a nightmare but after fighting them enough times they are just like the next opponent you might meet. Yes they stealth a lot, But they are still there…keep moving, don’t give them the opportunity to backstab. If they iHouse just aoe the area or keep moving until they reveal.

If I lose to a thief they where just a better fighter at the time.

Stealth doesn’t need a nerf, Culling/Rendering needs to be fixed.

Anet needs to put a stop to this server hopping bullkitten.

Lets just wait out this week and drop to whatever tier then build our way back up to somewhere we can manage and have fun without all the “We are a real guild, rest of you are noobs” crap.

I really hope the grass isn’t greener.

The good times are over?

2 “over sized Ego” Guilds jump ship and they seem to think the server will collapse LOL. Yes we may drop a tier or 2 but “The Good Times” are Definitely NOT over.

A similar problem to this happened before and took hours to sort out, So i wouldn’t count on getting online anytime soon.

Same problem here.

EU – Piken Square Server
Build 16732
Error Code: 42:1020:9001:4103

Don’t worry, Anet will apply a fix in a few months that will Break WvW in a whole new way then we can all start complaining all over again.

Mindnumbing grind Fractals for your ascended items then rinse and repeat to grind the matts to Infuse Said items. At least it takes your attention away from the lack of content elsewhere in the game.

6 Years in the making and almost 5 months into the game and at times it still feels like Beta. WvW is an absolute mess in so many ways and i can’t see Anet ever getting to grips with it.

Time to move on.

My skills were not delaying! They wouldn’t activate full stop.
