Guild Wars 2

Ever since the newest patch, everyone is lagging/disconnecting from our EBG “no other maps” on fort aspenwood. Great time to have this happen right before leagues.

Drannon.8254:

I’m finding the lag really bad after the most recent patch today. My stuns are landing right on them but nothings happening, and I’m seeing my targets rubber band – as well as my skills not popping when I use them. I ran speedtest and everything seems okay on my end. Other players in WvW are saying the same thing, what’s going on and how can I fix it?

Having same issues here

Yea if nothing changes for the season 2 I will probably check out ESO.

I wish the halo was more like this

Yea low pop servers are going to die.

Phenn.5167:

“Chill seriously throws off gameplay…”

…yeah. It does. That’s what it’s designed to do. I’m not sure what the disconnect is here. It’s a disruption condition that makes some classes actually viable when they’d otherwise have no way of dealing with low-CD professions…

Stacking immobilization, however, is a little crazy.

Exactly, I find chill is a great mechanic the way it is but immob is just broken. And literally everyone runs the same food to counter the immob/chills which is pretty lame, no diversity.

Sorry I’m a little disturbed it seems

Oh man… Doing push ups over dead corpses would be awesome haha!

And you can’t forget about the fact starting a new season with the same exact meta would be um, boring?

That seems pretty dumb to me if they don’t do this patch before the season. A new WvW season with the same old meta. Even the sigil/rune update alone would atleast make the new season fun because of different theorycrafting/group comps etc. Doesn’t seem logical at all.

I thought we were getting the double sigils for 2handers/ferocity change etc before season 2 starts… Or was that a lie? I’m seeing that they only announced a maintenance patch before the season starts?

Jewelcrafting 500 on march 18th update?

I really want double sigils

What will be the point of have precision after the Ferocity update? Since crit damage is being removed, is precision going to be “ferocity chance” instead of “Crit chance”?

Keeper recipes, do they drop in Battle for Lion’s Arch still? I know they used to come from the bags after 1200 citizens rescued, but now there are no more citizens.

I know the rescuing citizens is removed, but do these things still drop somehow?

Wondering this too, is it removed tomorrow?

I’ve noticed this as well, scares the crap out of me sometimes. I’m glad I’m not going nuts haha

Mystic it would still be possible without any macro/botting within 1-3 hours, you can click 5x fast and it will place 250X5 buy orders.

Violin! PLEASEEEEEEEE. I will pay 1800 gems.

Serbski people who had them are just dumping because of the high price.

So is it still in the loot table or no guys?

Do I have to get rid of all my ugly sweaters now or will this exchanger be around after the event is over?

I second this!!!

Constant crashing this game needs to be fixed after months and months of people reporting the same thing over and over and over it’s getting ridiculous now. It has nothing to do with your PCs so don’t bother scanning ,etc.

Yes hi shiver I remember you too, you are def one of them I’m not trying to troll here btw so no I don’t live under a bridge lmfao.

Xoom you are right I have played thief for 2 hours I couldn’t remember the skill. With the new initiative regen it seems to be happening faster/hitting harder then before. And I do not know how the high level thieves are playing because honestly its in TPVP so I cant see their trait setup. But I know the play style is similar to what I was doing, atleast from what I see. Backstab then/infil out but the speed they are doing it and the evades/damage they are doing is overpowered.

Gwalch you can do HS 3 times in black powder which is plenty. I just get a few seconds of stealth, do a backstab then sword #2 out, rinse and repeat there seems to be no “cooldown” it feels like anymore because of the fast initiative regen I guess. And yes main reason for the spam #2 sword was on a guardian to let my teamates destroy him. It felt overpowered even playing as a thief, I am going to retire my mesmer in SPVP/TPVP for now:P Also Errant you obviously haven’t fought good thieves, I have seen some rank 50-60 thieves that will destroy any class/build very quickly and even if they are outnumbered. And after this patch it seems they are even better then before.

Thanks anet <3

Asomal.6453:

They are indeed teleporting more, but not because of buffs. Since SR was nerfed, you can’t stay on the fight for so long until you are CCed. So it’s easier to just jump in -> hit you -> jump out. Hence, teleporting more (and the init buffs helps a bit).

Exactly, with the initiative buff it makes this tactic just overpowered. And when a thief does 8k dmg backstab teleports back and forth perma immobilizing with no cooldowns it’s pretty ridiculous. I just tried out a thief build and I owned everyone on the map. Now if I actually mastered that build it would be stupid in TPVP, with that initiative regen it makes them just crazy good in T/SPVP. I teleport all around/doing backstabs with perma immob no one can touch me. And I don’t know what vince is talking about cast time on IR? If it does I didn’t even notice it.

Why in the world were thieves buffed, I know people are going to say they were nerfed but that’s horse poo. They teleport around now 2x more/faster and it just makes them almost impossible to kill. I’m not talking about the crappy hot join thieves, I’m talking about the higher ranked skilled thieves who know how to play. They are overpowered 100% I might actually go roll one now just for SPVP.

So I guess the toxic spore skin is still lootable? Hence the price drop

Hello

I thought the nightmare tower was being removed today, how much longer will it be here for? And can I still open the tri chest on the third floor?

Yes remove glory.

I’m just wondering if I should hold out on selling toxic spore skin or sell it now.

The event should be over soon no?

Keep to sell at a later date or sell toxic spore skin now?

Game is still crashing, and crashing more than usual about once every 30minutes in WvW.

Instead of all these debuff talks etc which wont work imo, why not just take out the 5 man AOE limit. This will make “zerging” a thing of the past.

Hello

I would really LOVE to see a Violin in the gem store I think many others would aswell, please consider adding this.

Still crashing in WvW

hop 6 60% packet loss!!!

started for me 2 days ago aswell, but I notice it usually only in WvW.

Hello

I have noticed some major lag issues lately in WvW, people bouncing around, I will teleport back 30 feet from where just ran from, I will randomly die with nothing around me, auto attack takes about 2-4 seconds per cast and this is even with only 5v5 type fights with no big zergs around, even CHAT lags. It is not my internet I have tested other games/speed tests etc. Is there still an issue with some ISPs in that USA that could be causing hop issues? I’m located in ontario.

Yup I’ve been crashing since release in WvW reporting doesnt do anything.

Now Im dcing

Thanks for help again Ya hopefully it’s strange that it happened right after patch today though must just be coincidence.

Something seems off.

Yea I was using pathping 100% with server IP, let me see if I can figure out another way to get the paths. I’m on maguuma

Alright ping in resource monitor says 150-300 for the server IP. So it seems to me it must be a packet issue not ping hmm it has to be the Level 3 stuff.

I tried the ping, I think they have it blocked didn’t work. I will try resource monitor. And my net is probably using Level 3 when it connects to states ya, would make sense but it’s weird because I had no lag yesterday and people reported lag yesterday with level 3.
