I logged off 3 hours earlier tonight just out of sheer boredom, Piken has become a ghost town compared to how it used to be. I rarely see any of the commanders that where rampant only a few months ago and NEVER have i seen it where in prime time we have no queue’s on all 3 maps.
Maybe this is the shape of things to come
I don’t understand why people keep coming back here only to tell us all they are going to quit. Or try to get others to quit as well. Honesty, there are hundreds of games out there, when I get bored or don’t like one I simply pick another. I don’t feel the need to go online and tell everyone that they shouldn’t play a game.
People are not just coming here saying they are quitting, I have seen a large decrease in population on our server over the past few months.
Yes your going to get a select few that will come here and rage quit only to be back on the forum the next day, But the majority will just find something else because they sick and tired of the constant PvE love and lack of anything substantial to PvP.
Yes there will be a regular influx of new players but it is a bad way to run a game.
And where is Devon Carver with a response to this “MESS”?
Prime time for Piken right now and we are outmanned in EB :/ wtf has happened to our players? This is the worst i have seen it.
This is post your build thread, NOT post your You tube video’s thread :/.
SFR do you really need to camp the PS spawn in your own borders? There are 2 of us, you zerg us with 25-30 then corpse jump, real pro skills, should be proud ^^
That’s what happens with these kitten blob servers full of 12 year olds.
I guess there won’t be much resistance from Piken Square, Our server is pretty much dead these days, We need to drop down some.
Anet will continue to make money from this game as long as they focus all their time into VANITY items in the Gem-Store. When that dries up so will this game.
Yep i am starting to get bored of WvW and considering it’s all that encourages me to log-in each day my future with gw2 is looking bleak.
The match-up system is utter bullkitten…..week after week after week after week.
Oh Joy! Another balanced match-up :/
Deal with it and get bigger blobs, like DESO did.
Fixed*
It is part of the game nothing wrong there just some temporary fun but I will say that deso didint really want your keep we wanted to lure you out for fights so we let blobbadon keep some pressure from the other side (= I must admit you did a great job defending it against 2 blobs it was fun monday nuf talk lets focus on fights !
Your name sounds familiar! Another ex-Pikeneer?
Colly you are wrong
If your going to quote me and say that i am wrong! At least elaborate.
Yep worst case of double teaming i have seen! Such bad sportsmanship that this is what it takes to get things done.
If we never fight these 2 servers again it would be too soon.
Sounds like the kind of style I play, I believe the kind of build your looking for is 20/20/30 using sceptre/torch and staff.
Check out osicats “find the cat” non shatter condition build at the top of the Mesmer section.
They really need to separate pvp from pve completely, I couldn’t give a rats kitten about these fortnightly bullkitten patches
really annoying
at least put back wvw n pvp while they sort this crap out
Yea, Why the hell do they take wvw + pvp down so early? They could just leave them open like pve and close when the kitten patch is ready.
Why is it taking so long and why take wvw/pvp offline so long before the patch launches?
I’m pretty sure it’s intentional, if someone starts using a skill, it will finish, regardless of your stealth or not.
I see what your getting at but If i’m stood still or rooted then i can understand it but for a skill to track me even when i am trying to avoid + while invisible is just ridiculous :/
Hi, I am regularly playing my mesmer in wvw and have noticed that when i use any stealth skill i have taken Multiple successive hits from Rangers using Longbow skill 2 (rapid fire). The shots even track me as i move while i am invisible.
This not only happens from Ranger’s but other classes too that use similar skills, This can’t be right surely?
While I do try and take time out to respond to posts in our forums, it is also the case that time spent on the forums is time not spent getting something else done. Right now, we have a lot of balls in the air, so it’s less possible for us to post frequently.
It’s nice to see you on the forums when you can get on Thanks for taking the time-out to make some replies, It relieves a lot of frustration among the community.
Sooner than you might think, but not nearly as soon as we would like. That’s as much as I can say.
Why can’t you give us that kind of an answer on the skill delay issue? :/
Developer Response? LOL
Lol thanks Colly.
Your welcome, Glad i could liven up the thread
Btw i was talking about EB but i guess you don’t frequent it.
You should use in-game gold to buy gems to try a new server, before quitting the game.
How is that a solution? I have been on the same server since launch where my guild and friends are.
Jade Sea + Baruch Bay too scared to attack each other or are you guys in an alliance? I have played every night since reset and all i have seen each of you take is one another’s camp.
I can’t see any positive future for WvW! Anet just doesn’t give a stuff unless they are taking your money for Gem purchases.
I do enjoy this game a lot but at the first available opportunity i’m off, And it won’t really matter because even if that is 6 months from now you can guarantee that skill lag will still exist and the devs still won’t have replied.
Thread No.1257673 And still not a single word from Anet.
This is a disgrace Anet and you ought to be ashamed.
I feel your pain and so do many many others but your NOT going to get any response from Anet regarding skill delay. When it comes down to this particular issue they are the most Ignorant Developers i have ever come across.
This game won’t change because it’s crossed the line into “We give a kitten more about Gem store sales than actually caring about our game”
If your going to quit then just quit but don’t think about returning because in 6 months time there will still be Skill Delay, Lag, Crappy Bi-Monthly PVE content, And still the same old complaints as always.
GL whatever you choose.
Same old kitten as always, Piken get double teamed and Blue and Green don’t touch each other.
Another week of unbalanced match-ups, Well done Anet.
Can’t wait for the release of Camelot Unchained! Gw2 will die faster than a fish out of water.
WvW is becoming stale and boring! The match-up system is pathetic, The Lag and Skill delay remains prominent and i doubt will EVER be fixed. And NCSoft is pushing gem sales more and more that this game is becoming like a typical Korean cash shop MMO.
Three of our biggest guilds just announced that they are leaving the Ring of Fire. The crap matchups lately aren’t the only reason they are leaving but you can be assured it’s a big part of it.
We’re not only losing our biggest and most active WvW guilds, we’re losing some of the best commanders on the server, and our community Team Speak server.
So go ahead, put us back in the trash can tier tomorrow. You might as well.
I got news for you my friend! They are killing the whole game not just your server
Same intentions they have about “Skill Delay” ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!
If you people really think Anet are going to do anything about this LAG problem then your seriously deluded. Anet couldn’t give a monkey’s about it’s player base as they have proven in countless threads.
They add useless patch after useless patch! Week after Week and it just gets worse and worse and worse..
As long as they are meeting their “Gem Sales” Targets they couldn’t care less whether we are experiencing Lag/Skill Delay.
(edited by Colly.4073)
No, it is expected that they take responsibility for there mistake and send you a new pair.
Yup and i have just asked for a full refund, Whether i get one or not i couldn’t care less but i certainly am not going to carry on playing this game when the Dev’s don’t even have the common decency to inform the community where they are at with the issue.
As someone said earlier and i will say the same! I have played mmo’s almost 10+ Years old (with large scale fight’s, Large scale AoE) that ran a kitten sight better than this trash.
Tldr: You can counter thiefs. You shouldn’t be roaming solo if you are complete squish. Stealth is not OP. Thiefs are hard to kill big deal.
It didn’t stop those thieves complaining about mesmers until our class got nerfed to the ground did it? Now it’s thieves turn, Sad but true.
Still no comment or answers from Anet even with the multiple threads and requests for answers
The lack of any response means they haven’t got anything positive to reply with, I wouldn’t expect any kind of fix anytime soon.
In 25 years of online gaming i have never known a game to lag as bad and as consistently as Gw2 does.
Better to just give this game up and move on to something else, Anet have proven to us all that they don’t give a monkey’s about the frustration the Skill Delay issue is causing and moreover the lack of any information whatsoever from them.
Your right! And without doubt “Skill Delay” will gradually force people away from playing gw2 completely. The only reason a vast majority of people are still logging in each day is because of WvW and Anet haven’t even got the decency to update the community on where they stand with the issue, Don’t they realize that even a little information is better than NONE.
I think maybe their staff need to be booked on a customer relations course.
Anet are doing a great job of slowly killing this game off, It’s becoming stale and repetitive. Adding crappy Bi-Monthly PVE updates and totally failing on the one thing that is holding this dwindling community together “WvW”.
Nice write up, I’ll give the build a try in WvW
Opeth – Blackwater Park! The inspiration behind your Build/Name?
Just curious
skill lag
Now that you mentioned those 2 words in that post, Care to give us any information on where your at with a possible fix?? Or at least get Bill Friest to update the community.
PLEASE!..
People crying about thieves killing them and constantly posting for nerfs. Maybe add a training zone for the people to learn that stealth isn’t invincibility with some easy counters and a weekly help meeting for people to talk about how thieves are OP and how they got downed by a thief in stealth because he was using his cheating mechanic.
Same could be said about Mesmers but it didn’t stop the wave of crybabies getting our class nerfed to the ground because they didn’t know how to fight one.
I’m guessing you main a thief? And are probably one of those that cried about confusion.
1 – Fix Skill Delay
2 – Add Better Rewards
I have noticed this too and have given up on my Sword/Focus/Staff build for the time being. iLeap can already be annoying when the clone doesn’t Leap as intended to it’s target and instead “Stutters and walks to it” Now this Swap delay.
To be honest i think Anet its purposely trying to make us stop playing Mesmer’s because they are cried about so much.
This should have been hot fixed straight away not left all weekend, This is ridiculous Anet.
I would buy the Armor skins off the store but they are hideous! Whoever designed these latest ones “Sky Pirate” needs to seriously consider a career change.
