See I knew I missed something! Proof read it a dozen times too…
Sheesh. I’ll edit it for you.
Thanks. XD

Edit:
Done.

NP. gl!

what timezone are you

Mikau.6920:

I tested at PvP lobby and is working as intended.

ok… i will double check tomorrow ty!

IS the passive heal of 340 per sec bugged? I tested in pvp and wvw someone attacked me to 50% health but it never does heal passively… Does it show up in combat log as heal? I couldn’t find it.

Kaiser.9873:

Agree wholeheartedly with this suggestion. Rerank the servers based on what the outcome of the tournament(not their Glicko rank), and lock gold to players/transfers til afterwards.

it would balance population in top 9-12 servers. imagine going back to population of launch in WvW in top 12 servers and having 12 different servers that can play each other…

Expansion is going to bring in ALOT of new players or old players returning to the game. To help funnel the new players to mid/lower tiers can we please have another WvW Season/tourney before expansion. It would re-organize the tiers/servers to appropriate ranking. Even if the WvW tourney is only for 4-5 weeks.

Anet could possible put caps on top 3-6 servers , where new players would be directed to lower server/tiers to balance population. Returning players would still be able to play on their old servers so numbers on those servers would go up. Since WvW is the only thing that is affected by server choice imo this should be done as current wvw rankings/glicko is not indicative of server’s strengths.

considering engineer was designed to be weak vs cc, no.

No, engineer was designed to be weak against Conditions, and solid against CC.

No. it was designed to be weak against both. it doesn’t have few stunbreakers and awful stab (only on thumper 1sec and B toss. the elites with stab are a joke) by accident. engineer is weak vs cc and conditions.

The engineers defense against cc is in their traits, not just by pure stability like other classes. Protection injection, cloaking device, stabilized armor, leg mods etc.

only cloaking device actually defends against cc. the rest mitigate damage when you arrive cc’d, which makes sense for a profession that is weak against cc. sure, you may get stun locked, but you will take less damage when you are.

considering most engineer builds run a single stunbreak and no stability I would definitely say they are weak vs it.

+1 plus engies grenade is getting nerf and engy is possibly getting hammer which would make it ideal. I am not saying it has to be as strong as guardian stab but any party stab on 24-30 sec rotation would keep balance between melee train & ranged meta. Otherwise with guard stab nerf melee trains will have even less incentive to push…

@ Anet. Can we please give another profession (Engy?) party stability share similar to guardian stand your ground? 24-28 sec cd reduction with similar stacks. It will give Frontline engy a great boost and guardians that are bored can play engy sometimes.

Plus stability is getting further nerf (trait being moved to GM) once expansion hits for guardians so another source of party stability would give melee groups a chance against ranged meta.

Loosmaster.8263:

Are we back to doing this again. Mark had posted about this.

where

Still recruiting on JQ… We are chilling till Expansion with WvW raids 5 nights a week. All classes and experience levels can join.

engy is good but it doesn’t have stability consistently so it needs to rely on guards for frontine engy.
backline engy is meh.

I love how they had to lax the ‘requirements’ for WvW rep because everyone that cares about WvW has been infracted at one point or another

coglin.1867:

Saturday night, 5:45 PM CST, JQ downgraded to “Very High” for a few minutes. I know this because we had 2 that moved over and were discussing it. I logged out and it did say Very High.

fatty… as soon as you log server status changes -.-

Stephen ClarkeWillson.1802:

Definitely strange goings-on in Blackgate Borderlands. The map was relatively empty but my special “latency indicator” graph was bouncing around like crazy, even though nothing was going on nearby. It could be hardware. We can move the map to different hardware but that requires kicking everyone because everyone has to disconnect and reconnect to the new hardware. It’s an easy test to do just inconvenient for people playing (about the same as if a new game build comes out). I will consult with my colleagues at work whether we should move everyone to different hardware.

Do it please! It’s empty anyways!

64.25.38.162:0 BG BL on T1 NA SUPER laggy tonight… please take a look at your charts

Jesus people… stop derailing thread about other games or other issues. This thread is specifically for WvW lag since recent ‘stability’ patch. A Dev is nice enough to post & work on it so please ‘kitten off’!

Stephen ClarkeWillson.1802:

I don’t think it is the skill change. I do think the thing we did to reduce PvP (and also some PvE) lag made WvW lag worse; or, put the opposite way, WvW lag was bleeding over into the other map types, and we fixed that. The silver lining as they say is that the perf counters are more accurate than they were and I think I see the problem now; it’s going take some engineering to fix properly but I have a band-aid in place now that reduces the occurrences (at least as I perceive them via my graphs).

Thanks for attempting to fix with band-aid but a proper permanent fix would be ideal. If you guys have timeline worked out for the fix or when you apply the fix please update so people can give feedback if issue is resolved!

Stephen ClarkeWillson.1802:

I don’t post a lot but this seemed like an opportunity in real-time to correlate the player experience with a big pile o’ graphs.

we appreciate it!

Hamster.4861:

DarkSyze.8627:

Stephen ClarkeWillson.1802:

Yup, it’s bad for EU tier 1 Eternal Battlegrounds right now. The cool thing I just discovered is another perf counter that correlates better with the lag than total CPU. Y’all in a big fight right now? I guess if you are you’re not posting to the forums.

Giving us player update is not solution! Will Arena net fix the lag? Yes? or No?

“Communication without result is not communicating at all”

calm down bro, let the man work. your “quote” is just utter bullkitten. It’s not like he can snap his fingers and Poof goes the lag. He’s communicating just fine.

+1 and you wonder why wvw problems don’t get looked at… be more diplomatic.

Stephen ClarkeWillson.1802:

The best thing you can do to help is keep playing while I try to correlate lag with the root problem. I’m now watching the t1 EB CPU specifically and while I don’t see 100% I see CPU in excess of 90% still and that seems to correlate with lag spikes. Hmm.

Stephen you can also correlate whether the spikes occur when 2 decent sized groups are in range of each other… maybe that is the wave of spike you see once a while and then ‘resolves’ itself when the fight is over.

insanemaniac.2456:

Stephen ClarkeWillson.1802:

Hi all – we’re aware of the problem and working on a solution.

i think i like you, you should visit us more often

+1… employee of the month!
hope you can resolve it!

Please anet fix it or atleast acknowledge there is a issue so people will buy the expansion in hopes that WvW isn’t a slideshow…

Lag has gotten SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE since the stability patch… It’s probably not caused by the stability change but please acknowledge and fix.

Deli.1302:

Azelroth.6801:

Super laggy today. I also have noticed massive rubber-banding/lag spikes since the airplane update…

The lag has been a problem ever since the stability change.

yes ever since the stability patch… but that doesn’t mean stability is causing it but since that monday patch 2 weeks ago…

the more people you get that contribue to this thread the better… ask ur guilds etc. anet won’t believe it’s their fault till we have 1000s of posts

lag has been terrible since stability patch…

Lag in wvw is terrible anet… if you can’t fix this before expansion hits you will LOSE lots of new players and will hurt your game in long term. SO PLEASE acknowledge that lag is terrible since stability patch and that you are working on it atleast…

Lag is horrible… it has been worse since patch

we need more players complaining about the lag if they encounter it…. a lot of people have become desensitized to anet’s lack of communication/support/effort when it comes to wvw. We need a renewed effort since expansion gives us a opportunity to get atleast improvements to current system.

have your guildies/server mates complain about the lag if they can… more people that report lag/performance issue then anet might do something…

I wish more wvw players took time out of their schedules and complained like good olde days so anet finally acknowledges it a problem…

Ever since stability patch WvW is EXTREMELY laggy….

so laggy in wvw… please fix anet or atleast acknowledge there is a problem….

Looking for 3 more guards willing to play after stability nerf
Also looking for 2 Necroes, 2 Elementalist, 1 thief!

guess it’s not as big issue as I thought

It only used to lag once a while and mostly on 3 way fights of blobs but since the patches this week lag has become unbearable…

What we need:
Anet please atleast acknowledge that something is wrong since patch this week and let community know if you are atleast looking into it!

PS 1: I know there is a thready WvW is laggy but it is 2 year old thread necroed. This one is specific to lag after patch this week.

PS 2: Lag is happening even in smaller group fights or 40vs40 fights and not even 3ways and it isn’t related to hw/group size. it is server lag that has gotten worse.

ObraaannnN!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol … EOTM yo! hf

Got 20 people over to JQ. Come help be part of a solid group before expansion hits!

hi,

Im considering a transfer to JQ, but the server is always full. I even tried waking up this morning around 4:30PM EST stayed up for an hour and it’s still full. Is there a good time to make the transfer?

sent you a pm..

X T D.6458:

looking forward to fighting you, and welcome to JQ and t1, from BG with might stacked love

Thanks. It’s been great so far.

Looking for a few more members. All classes are welcome!

I doubt there is any… I think the fact that you have towers with limited access gates have multiple landings up to for people to stand on instead of just one wall in anet’s opinion is defense enough.
No matter the mechanic ppt will still be coverage + numbers. people will ignore most mechanics as they do bloodlust for most of time and people will continue to fight as they do now till next rvr game that doesn’t suck comes out.

We have asked for this alot but with upcoming expansion Anet might be able to do something & throw the WvW community a bone so PLEASE support the post and bump if u can.

WvW gear = gear bought with wvw tokens currently can’t be salvaged. Extractors cost MORE then runes and isn’t worth the cost. Anet PLEASE do atleat one of the following

Allow us to remove runes from gear brought with WvW tokens. JUST the rune. We don’t even want ecto or mithril etc just let us salvage to get the rune back with black lion salvage kit & destroy the item.

OR

Reduce the cost of extractors by 50-70% atleast. right now each extractor to gold ratio is TOO high.

Couple years late? ppt is dying game mode except for few servers or for staying in relevant tiers.

PPT should be byproduct of fights/stomps & not the main objective…

Check out Fang leading Saturday on EB :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=US-CR-lg5cc

Currently at approximately 30 players. 15-20 active daily. We don’t have mandatory raids. Play when you can but when you do play, play with guild. All we do is WvW/tpvp!

don’t worry stability nerf inc in next month. it will get rid of most frontline and we will all be rangers pewpewing from 1200 yards.

/end sarcasm

Looking for more GWEN players to join the ranks!

Got 20 people over to JQ. Come help be part of a solid group before expansion hits!
