What I find odd is when fighting some zergs the lag is horrible and others of the same size or larger I don’t experience any lag.Even when fighting some small sized groups the lag is really bad ,fight a different group not a problem.Go fight that first group and the lag comes back. Really strange
Not sure what your doing but I don’t have a problem with the reverent.Some are really good and tough to beat, others are easy.All depends on how they are built and how you are built.
No single class should have any advantage on siege.I welcome the changes even despite not being able to use spirits with arrow cart anymore.Siege is universal in the game and should be fair for anyone to use regardless of individual stats.
On a separate note I would like to see changes made to how terrain is used by some classes to “blink” to places that other classes have to take the "long’ way around to pursue or how mist form is used when downed can enter a port to evade.
Never thought I would say this…That’s a lot of loot!! .Had to stop mid battle so many times to empty my inventory.Even had to bank some gear to make room.
Many Non frequent WvW players are in EBG right now because of the new rewards.They’re probably entering the first map in the WvW map selection they see. As for the argument that ‘everyone’ hates the desert maps is stale and old. Many like the new maps.The ones that don’t ,in my opinion, are incapable of change and challenge.
Your internet service provider (ISP) have their ISP’s and so on down the line. Each has a vested interest in serving their clients.So to say that theirs nothing you can do is incorrect.You need to understand that the infrastructure of the internet is very complex and takes time to locate and repair problems when they occur.Their are many tools on the internet available to you so that you can give accurate information to your provider.Then they can inform their providers of the problem and so on down the line. Freaking out helps no one.
Spawn camping begets spawn camping and unfortunately I’m as guilty as the next person.I’m trying personally change because it’s not cool.Like flogging a lame horse.But it seems that certain unspoken codes of conduct get thrown out in the heat of battle.I can see it as a tactical exercise while taking a keep but once its taken that’s enough ,time to move on.
If your having lag issues that seem to occur at ANET servers check the time. This is usually cause by very high network traffic.I find the worst part of the day is between 00:00 and 04:00 AM server time ,peaking at around 02:00 server time.Really their isn’t a lot ANET can do about that besides building a mainframe the size of Google.
funghetto. I agree with you on the specialization classes.Some of the “over powered” skills definitely outmatch the traditional classes.Personally I like the idea of having more diversification in builds but shouldn’t give the massive advantage that the new specializations have done.A good example is why would a dragon hunter have an elite trap when a traditional ranger or thief don’t.
The only thing I can suggest to you is you need to fight just a little smarter now .Find their weaknesses, build tougher with more vitality , healing and speed.
Hopefully some kind of balance will take place in the next quarterly update.
Good luck and have fun.
Don’t take the game to heart to much.I understand how you feel but just remember, It’s only a game.Stressing over it or what people say isn’t healthy.Its just a game.Their are many people on many servers that are really nice.You just have to get out there and find them.Even on servers that I might dislike in the game play, many of those people are really nice.
This may be your problem
check your options menu in [combat/movement] and check melee attack assist.This will prevent you from running or jumping through your opponent.
The dislike of roamers doesn’t come from your own server I presume.Roamers are a vital intelligence source for the rest of your server team, that’s why your being harassed by your opponents.
I have an ASUS Gaming lap top and only us the NVidia drivers from ASUS and have never had a problem.Check your vendor for drivers because they have been tested on the machine or card your using.Don’t just run to NVidia for the latest.
Make sure you have the latest version of windows 10 .I,m using version 1511 ,OS build 10586.164 .Also update your chip set drivers.these help the peripherals communicate with the rest of the mother board.
I find on lap tops that if you stick with the lap top vendor drivers I have fewer problems. Good luck
Have you updated your chip set drivers. The chip set helps the cpu communicate with your peripherals .Usually you can down load those from your Mother board or lap top vendor.
You may also try turning off all the windows eye candy .those services continue to run in the background even when you run full screen games .Sucks up GPU ram because they always stand in ready.
Get the newest release and you shouldn’t have any problems .Earlier releases prior to late November 2015 had issues.Also make sure your machine will handle it.OEM windows 8 and 8.1 shouldn’t have problems .earlier machines that upgraded to windows 7 from vista or XP might
I don’t want to be an alarmist but I would be careful just ramming any GPU into your Mobo unless you know specifically which Asus pro broad it is.theirs about 16 different ones and some support both Nvidia and AMD but some are AMD specific.You may have some trouble with driver support swapping GPUs.I found this out over alot of aggrevation once before.
The only title I use is the one I got from Guild Wars 1 “Legend of the Mists” . That one took 6 years of play to get. The others I couldn’t care less .
PvE doesn’t need balancing at the class level .If an NPC is to hard fix the NPC. If the area is to hard fix the area.PvP shouldn’t have needed balancing if things didn’t get messed up in the first place.Only small tweaks were needed for most classes not the total freaking mess we have now.
Ethnocentrism is the belief of superiority is one’s personal ethnic group.
Ego centrism is having or regarding the self or the individual as the center of all things.
Think he means ego but I get what he’s taking about.
A contested Way point wasn’t really an issue before the HoT changes .It didn’t take forever to run to the Garrison or tower that was contested.Now if you see a contested Way point it’s probably to late.
The whole report thing for hackers is a joke .Where in costumer service do you even report .Theirs no specific place to make a report .I have video of an obvious hack that was occurring the other night of a daredevil that could evade 10 or more times consecutively then suddenly appear out of range 1500 plus when when I did hit him, which was rare.I’m getting to the point where I don’t give a rats backside if I disgrace someones name or not. YOU ANET needs to get out there yourselves and drop those stupid ANET tags so these cheating prigs don’t scurry off like the kittenroaches they are.And don’t give a lame answer with a generic form letter like the last two times.Stop jacking us around and get on the issue.
Just another the the many imbalances plaguing the game. Stab vs CCs, Resistance vs Condi , Specialization vs Core . I’ve never been one to jump on the Meta band wagon but when armor becomes pointless ,having condition removal pointless ,having stability pointless ,running core class pointless that’s not Meta ;that’s just messed up.I was under the impression that the new content was to augment the existing classes by giving more choice to builds, Not turn them into specialization gods.Heart of Thorns really isn’t that hard to warrant the over powered specialization traits and skills being address through out these forums.Unfortunately I regret even shelling out the $100 for Heart of Thorns and the amount of Gems I purchased because I enjoyed the originally Guild Wars 2. I guess shame on me for trusting that things would get better with every update and balance change.
My math is less than perfect but its seems without buffs and having next to no critical damage (Minimum is 150%) the power of this person that hit you is only around 1600 – 1650. That was calculated with the max hammer strength of 1166 and hit with the final blow of coalescence of ruin (skill-specific coefficient) of 2.25.Maybe someone with better Math skills could help me with this.I’m sure this is wrong.
I agree with Link.You simply can’t penalize one time zone over another.Your server has to recruit people from other time zones to fill the "over night " population out .But their will be an inherent problem their as well because people of certain languages will flock to one server over another because it’s easier to coordinate battles.This is a multicultural game because its world wide and that makes it awesome .I’ve played with people all over Asia to North America and everywhere in between.But if you change the point system that puts penalties because of where lower populations live then we’ll lose the vibrate nature of the game because those people would just quit .That would be the real crime.
How many threads like this do we have to endure .The world doesn’t revolve around you.When your asleep others are awake playing .Stop being so selfish and give it a rest already.
How are you defining a prime time or off time player on a game that runs 24 hours.Just because your asleep in say New York doesn’t mean a player in Sydney Australia is also asleep during their prime time .And dont forget that Korea, Japan the Philippines and China may have players as well so seriously I don,t know where your getting your numbers from.Here in Tarnished coast We have a low population between the hours of 1 am MST and 5am MST but Black Gate has a relatively large population during that period.From what I understand (I may be wrong) Black Gate has a high Korean base during those times .As for the points per tower ,camp , ect don,t change from one region to another.What your server needs to do is recruit more guilds from those ,as you would put it,“off hour” regions.
I simply don’t understand some peoples logic on this subject .The world turns .When NA is asleep others in the world are awake . Why should anyone penalize those people for playing the game during their prime times . Is the fact that the world is round must be completely oblivious to some.If you still believe the earth is flat, I have some ocean front property in Saskatchewan to sell you..
“Night capping” and “Day capping” is really something that cant be controlled
The game regions are listed here : http://help.guildwars2.com/entries/27658858-Game-Regions
If also given the population densities of specific time zones ,
one would clearly see NA would be out matched at different times of the day.
Really the only solution available right now is from guilds to recruit from those time zones with higher populations.
Dayan may be trying to get the achievement ;not sure.You may try taking a few friends with you and give the Kodash guy a good clock cleaning .Besides doing JPs is much more fun with friends present.
Can’t you folks read? It says "the pet will attack an enemy if it is attacked ". The patch disallowed NON veteran NPCs only . Real players and veteran NPCs can still draw aggro on your pet.
It’s especially frustrating for rangers because the pet is constantly being aggro-ed by NPC’s and because it tends to lag behind so much becomes an easy target by opponents again causing a disadvantage to escape.
I have no issues playing my ranger. Mobs do not aggro pets unless you tell your pet to attack them. What I mean is a random mob will not just come up and hit your pet, it will hit you. Only once you attack and engage any mob will your pet attack and then it could gain aggro. But again YOU have to attack first.
People claim this happens but I have never seen it, not once and I have played a ranger since the beginning of the game.
>Wiki>Depending on whether the pet is set on aggressive or passive, the pet will attack an enemy if it is attacked, its owner is attacked, or its owner attacks the enemy while aggressive, or only when specifically commanded to attack an enemy while passive.
As soon as your pet responds to an attack on itself it will put you into combat mode.
I’ve playing ranger as my main since beta.
I’d like to see a weekly map rotation ,mix up border land maps so each server has a different map from the other .keep the maps small but not to small maybe mid way between the old alpine and the new ones.
There is a bug with Guild Objective Auras and golems. The aura is not received nor removed while player is using a golem.
There is also a bug that allows golem speed to be affected by the guild aura.
Use golem within an objective with an aura active. Move away from the area using the golem. Now you have the aura active anywhere you go. Even if you eject the golem the aura sticks on you.
Was there notes on why they did that? as the guild one work but runes doesn’t work?
This is an oversight by developers and testers I’d say. The quality of any changes affecting WvW is terrible. Thus no notes, just bugs and bugs.
Golems and any other siege should not benefit from boons nor player stats. Unfortunately some do. For example try put on full condi armor while using arrow cart’s condition skills.
There has been fixes now and then: siege projectiles being unblockable by player skills, golems unable to receive player boons, quickness converted into a boon, Traveler runes no longer grant speed for golems.
Every time something new is developed like alacrity, guild auras and WvW abilities, they do affect siege again. We just have to wait for some months to get these fixed.
Don’t forget Sun spirit affects arrow carts ,catapults ,mortorsand I believe trebs as well. Not sure if that’s by design or not.
