Guild Wars 2

Bye Bye Orb of power

Bye Bye Quaggans

…..

Instead of saying bye bye, we would like to welcome more features, cause i mean.. what is wrong with the quaggans? They are there, they have a reason to be there.. It has nothing to do with game breaking or anything else lol.

Why Always wave the hand for a bye bye.

Devon, we should say bye bye to you, cause in 11 months nothing has changed. And i might be a little harsh, but this is what i see.

We dont want bye bye.

We want new maps, new siege, new mechanics, new skins.

I agree, the lootbags are a joke.. i used to fight viz and gained so many bags.. now i kill 30 and i only get 2x spike.

I think Anet wants to destroy WvW on purpose.

rfdarko.4639:

? I wasn’t trying to insult you, I was genuinely confused. We’ve have a bit of a troll session on this topic in the sub-forum, it’s not your fault for missing the context and yes, the title of the merged thread should be clearer, but nothing I said was an attack on you, and I certainly don’t think it’s infraction worthy. Regardless, sorry if I offended you in some way.

Alright np, just dont like people reacting to others like that. No infraction needed then :P

Well MOD change name of other Post, and delete mine or move it in. Not that any Dev it ever reads

rfdarko.4639:

…I was doing pretty good before, but I cant tell if this is a troll or not. You don’t need to search, it’s on the front page…like, within the first 5 topics.

Only advice I can give beyond the strats listed on the wiki is that you really only have one shot at it, since the spiders do not despawn. That’s really what pushes the fight over the top – the fight pre-wipe is challenging but reasonable. I do think that the boss post wipe is way out of proportion, sort of like the fractal chanters – simple fix would be to make the room clear adds on wipe. But until then, I recommend that if you wipe, reset the dungeon.

First to start off, i missed the merged thread yes because it was just TAkitten. A MOD should change it into Twilight Arbor.

Second, you should be infracted because you probally insult everyone that makes a post a troll.

And third, yes after our first wipe we couldnt even use reflect or kite.. they 1 shotted.

We’ve had similar threads to this, use the search function.

We’ve had like 3 dozen since 1-2 months ago..

Yea i would use the search function if they didnt change everything every week the path is just too hard in comparison with the other paths.

The path is quite easy, all paths are. I can understand how the boss can give you issues, I experienced the same thing. If you use your reflects well, the boss can be killed in under 1 minute easily.

The problem is, it takes 1 hour to find a group full of random pugs.. imagine the time it takes to find 2-3 guardians.

You don’t need just guards. Any class with reflects/absorbs will do. Mesmer and thief are good choices. I know ranger and ele have shorter duration reflects, so probably not as helpful. It’ll be easier with friends, but is doable with pugs. Just organize before you go into the boss room.

You could also range the tree while kiting the spiders, some people do it that way.

Yea we tried the range too, but we kept on wiped by the spiders.. So next i want to play a dungeon i should read the forums first, on what class is needed for it?

Bah, hope i finish this dungeon, so i never have to return to it again.

Ahh there is Twilight Arbor.. Maybe a MOD can change the name of the post? Cause when i press Twilight Arbor in the search function, you see nothing.

And btw, i thought all classes could do everything.. these spiders are just OP… third time i didnt make this dungeon.

Takes 1 hour to find people, takes 3 seconds to wipe.

I have tried it with 3 different partys, and all ended up exactly the same. Death.

Is this dungeon bugged or what?

Forward – Up path.

We tried DPS it and we made it to 50% health, then the small spiders melt us all away.

Later we try from 1200 range pressing only 1 skill, wont help.. spiders just almost do 1 shot kills.

This dungeon needs to be looked at by the devs, i dont think this is intended. This boss is even harder then the new Arena Boss or any boss in Arah.

Also its very hard to find people, actually wanna do this path, but i need to dungeon master :/

So did anyone tried since last patch? And dont say : "NOOB ITS EASY JUST RANGE " If you didnt try it since last patch.

Plz Anet look into this. The other paths are 100x easier.

Well then make a button that cost 10s, i hate looking at numerous loading screens.

we where just karaoking and playing some wvw :P watch how we roll!

http://youtu.be/eHOchCP-g5o most epic pain train ever (desolation server guild: DVG the desolation vanguard)

That was actually fun ye lol

The only good thing in WvW were the lootbags, and they even destroyed that! Today a big group 20-30 people from the enemy was defeated, and i got not a single lootbag!

It is already pretty hard to make gold in WvW, and the rate of lootbags was pretty good. But now, yes the champion bags are nice i guess…

But what about PVE? There is a ‘FARM’ zone now to make gold, while the game never wanted the player to farm lol. And there you get normal lootbags + champion bags.

So why not in WvW?

Are you preparing to shut down WvW or something?

Do you guys hate your own game mode?

Did you guys fire the Original WvW team?

Since new patches, the whole WvW has graphic glitches.. The new effect LOD isnt working for WvW because it culls important enemy skills.

Seriously, i do not have a clue why your destroying your own game.

There are alot of players/ friends leaving this game because there is no update for WvW.

They see tons of updates for living story and mini games and Spvp. But everyone i know is tired of Anet ignoring WvW. And they are all leaving.

Please ArenaNet, let this be a small wake up call, before it is too late.

The whole camera, AOE circle visual, bugged orbs.. make this another fail living story thing.

I hope they stop with the living story.

Nah im not gonna try it, while i dont enjoy playing it. Hurts my eyes playing that way. But hey Anet doesnt care.

Yea why is Anet Always ignore my kittening posts, i am serious… The camera is way too zoomed on the character, you see nothing.

I am sorry, i know the mechanics and i know what to do, but i cannot play these fights with my eyes in my own characters kitten .

I skip these 2 weeks, how about WvW next time.. or something with a story, you call it living story right? Not living arena fights with a crappy camera.

The game culls my own skills, i mean cull the enemy.. not mine -_-

Please can you guys consider adding a direct button to Lions Arch? I hate going to Spvp and into Lions Arch.. To much loading screens.

Thanks.

I cannot do the last boss, due to camera issues.

The camera zooms in way too much, i have no overview. Anyone else have this problem?

Try repost this in another section guys, they dont read WvW threads, better put it in the technical section.

Graphics look crap, GW2 has the most amazing graphics in any MMORPG out there. Only they need to hire some qualified PVP staff, and fire the whole WvW team.. with the reason:

You have failed.

11 months and nothing.

I want to spend real money on the game, but i wont spend money because WvW has such insane lags.

So..

0,00

I think its based on how much hits you did on the target instead of the amount of damage. But not sure though.

When i log into WvW, i want to play it! But after 5 minutes of playing i notice the server is already lagging.. and then die because none of the skills work..

I res at the waypoint, and alt+F4 the game..

If i knew this when i bought the game, i would never bought it.

I think its time for some new things in WvW, like new mode, new map, new siege. I am seriously bored of WvW

Dawdler.8521:

Lol!

DirectX has little to do skill lag.

To oversimplify what is probably a very complex system, the server processors are choking due to the fact the the skill queues are full. When you push a button on the client, its queued and executed on the server. When the server is capable of handling all these requests, its fluid without lag. When there are too many incoming requests and it cannot process them fast enough, it will result in skill lag.

If you remove the AoE cap, the amount of incoming work for the server in terms of damage calculations would increase exponentially, increasing skill lag.

Arguing that DirectX10/11 would technomagically fix everything is like trying to argue that a new coat of paint on your car will make it go faster.

Well let me explain you something then. And maybe you are one of the Tech working on Anet that cannot find the sollution, but the it is really in here.

Yes the server registers every button press, but with every press there is data on it.. thus graphics, sounds, player controll.

We all already know that sound is the last option in the line to send to the client, and most of us have no problem with it. First priority of the server is to send the action to the client side, but because it has to deal with so many factors ( that Dx9 cannot process) it clunks up and eventually get lost in package transfer (ignored).

That is why we keep on pressing our heal skill. Cause it doesnt send it, due to incompetent behavior of the graphics distrubitable (dx).

So you can lol what u want. But the problem is in here.

The game is visual perfect 10/10. But this is not a single player game and they should know that 10/10 graphics brings alot of server load and that Dx9 makes to much data to send server→client.

Its a mistake, and they wont admit it is.

I just wish they would be honest about it and say “Sorry guys, this is what you get” then everyone will be dissapointed for a while but satisfied with the clear anwser.

Ahh come on guys, i was just trolling and it worked like a charm. I mean the OP… if he wants to know if there are still people playing? Why doesnt he log in and take a look.. i mean come on..

There are like 5 people playing right now, its very hard to do a dungeon.

Yea i know a DX10,11 implentation requires a full game change, and that will probally cost another 5 years..

But hey, maybe in the future someone smart thinks of something

But really, the problem is in the DX engine + game engine, its just outdated.

I have read some posts about that the server cannot handle more AOE etc. But isnt that because the server is using DX9?

Maybe its a good idea to test with DX10,11 because these are made to lower resources on the server side, so it is easier to transfer data ( less data).

I really think DX10,11 is the sollution to stop skill lag and remove the AOE cap in WvW.

If people are still using 2005 hardware well i am sorry, tough luck for them.

Send this idea to your tech team plz.

I am getting another beer, and enjoy the sun!

I was using black lion salvage kits too! But then when i was running out i was trying the mystic forge salvage kits. And that just did wonders with my rate of ectos. Lots of time i get x3.. prob just luck

Well this afternoon while playing in a large blob group in Desolation EB vs a large group from the enemy, and guess what.

No lag what so ever, no skill lag, no FPS lag.. Nothing!

So that confuses me, and i am wondering if Anet is giving other servers more resources or not.. or is it all equal?

Please Anet, stick with this setup on your server side. It works like a charm.

Place a sign on that specific server :" Reserved for Desolation "

Thanks!

Ahh too bad, i guess my hopes for this game are a bit too high.

I am on Desolation too!

And no, i see them reply to living story, hardware related stuff, jokes..

But its like " Oh it is a CUSTOMER from WvW, lets ignore him "

No idea why they are so silent about this, i did ask it nicely right?

Do we actually sit in them, and we fly to Div. reach? or do we step into a loading screen :P

It has been over 10 months now already, and i have skill lag in World vs World vs World since then. I have spoken in these months with alot of people and i have read alot of posts about this major problem and everyone has the same thing.

The chat when this skill lag is happening is exploding with :

~ kittening lag
~ anyone lagging?
~ my skills dont work
~ omg cannot play

Myself, i have upgraded my older computer to a bit more up to date computer and that helped some problems i had before with FPS issues mainly in Lions Arch. But in World vs World vs World the skill lag problem still occurs on a regulary base.

Also i have contacted the technical support from ArenaNet and i have done several tests, and tests with a proxy. The proxy helped a little but on the big fights the skill lag was still clearly there, and after 20 message between them and me i pointed them to a Dev post, stating that they confirmed it was a server based issue and so on the Tech support agreed with me, and that they cant do anything for me anymore but they were sure Anet is working on a fix.

So again, it has been 10 months and we still have no serious improvement ( as what was stated in a previous patch note ).

My question, and that from alot of people is simple:

Can the skill lag problem in World vs World vs World be fixed?

I know you guys want to work close with the community and that this will be the most critical anwser you have to give.

But we want to know what is going on.

Hoping and praying for a decent reply.

Thank you and have a good day.

Recently i made the Eternity, and 80% of the reaction from people are; Crap legendary, Ugly, Noob, Gold buyer.

I will be impressed when people congrat u with one, instead of insulting.

Transfer to another server because Anet never tested the full server load? No thanks

Hmm i would like to see.

- Less partical effects.
- World bosses with mechanics
