There was some really fun things you could do with reflect back in the day,
Like if you reflected a thief’s shadowshot (d/p3) you actually teleport to the thief instead and they would take the big hit from it, was a good was to catch a person before they ran into a keep. Sadly they made those types of skills in blockable,.
I think there still some crazy things you could to to break reflect.
Yes and the instant tp in zerg ennemy when a necro hit your bubble with is death shroud tp…so good design lol.

WvW Invitational Statement from John Corpening, game director for World vs. World
in WvW

Make them act like Kits – or Firey Greatsword.
It sounds good
But will require too much effort from Anet I fear.
Here’s the issue I am having with this whole thing. Why is EotM normal, but all WvW maps horrible if more than 35 players start fighting?
Seriously there have been times when flame ram skills take 10 seconds to fire with no blob in sight, you quit in disgust, port into EotM, and no lag at all there even with 2 full mapblobs colliding?
Nobody uses stability in eotm i guess.
I hate to mix logic with useless sarcasm, but wouldn’t that simply indicate the problem is more likely in some coding bug specific to the WvW maps, and not stability?
No problem in EoTM.
No problem in map filling blobs on PvE at Teq, or other world bosses, with stability ticking there.
What about those, indicates it has anything to do with stability change? I mean other then regurgitating what some other random, uninformed poster claimed somewhere else, that is?
In PVE you will have 100 people in a map, all in the same side and even if they put stability it will easy to manage for the server.
In a WvW fight, you have 270-300 people in a map, thats 2-3 times the numbers o n PVE, now realise all of them spam conditions, damage, pop stability, boons etc… There you go. Without the stability part, it was sometimes laggy when 3-way fights came, but nothing comparable to current lag, which makes game unplayable.
About the EOTM part, well I think someone said, probably because all that people do is 1111111111111 most part of time
Mind linking to something official, with the player map caps? Seems a bit straw man with out any evidence to back it up.
As to “claiming” players in EotM do not use stability, even thought the fights are as large as regular WvW, that seems extremely straw man.
It is as if, you are molding the situation to suite post is which you have already blamed stability, simply to avoid having been wrong, rather then trying to actually address the fact that it is more reasonable if the problem is a WvW specific coding issue, just like it has been in every other lag situation since release.
What server are you guys on?
I was just asking in TS on JQ and everyone is telling me they are having no lag issues this evening.
There was definitely skill lag on JQ this evening. It only happens when you get into blobby situations. Two server blobs going at it would give you 1-2 sec skill lag. When you have 3 server blobs in close vicinity, you would start getting 5-10 second skill lag. If people didn’t experience it, it’s because they weren’t near the blobs.
Note that we’re talking skill lag, not just ordinary ISP, video driver, memory, computer issues lag. Skill lag are when you press your abilities, they flash, they queue, but they don’t fire off like they’re supposed to. This is all server-side, started happening when they did the stability patch.
People are suspecting it’s due to the amount of computing required with the new stab changes because this skill lag started happening with the stab patch. Anet would know, and apparently they do know and have been trying to fix it but haven’t been able to. They really need to fix this before HoT comes out. With new influx of returning players, and even more polygons and art assets from the newly designed borderlands & maps, it’s bound to get even laggier upon HoT release. So the skill lag issues really need to get fixed before HoT.
You see, I was in a 3 way garri battle on TCBL last night on 5 separate occasion. I specifically asked in the TS channel, because I wasn’t having any skill lag issues. Everyone told me “no, no problem here, skills are working just fine”
I am not suggest you did not have any lag. I am simply suggesting it is a fact that some people are not. I have a spouse, son, and two grand children playing at my house last night, and no one had skill lag issues. So my concern is, what is the difference between your situation and mine, and how you suggest the stability changes effect you, but the 5 accounts at my house had no trouble and the 49 players in my TS channel all said it was fine for them?
I have had the skill lag hit me in recent days. So I am well aware it exist. My whole point is that I find it interesting that one day it is there for some, and the next it is there for others.
By the way, have you specifically tried the fix they posted about?
Well…we have lots of discussion.
Some communication fron Anet would be welcomed (read absolutely necessary):
-status on analysis & conclusions
-action plan
It would provide some visibility and remove some frustration (work only if they are working on it with some progress however )
