Ok I found the arenanet.log but I am not sure which part I am supposed to post.
Ever since last nights patch I have been having major issues in wvw.
Since last night my game crashed about 6 times. Also, before the patch I used to get 20-30 fps in zerg fights now it goes down to as low as 9 fps on a gaming computer.
My specs are I5 3570K @ 3.4GHZ GTX 670 Windows 7 64 bit.
Just 5 mins ago I was playing in EB then a huge zerg came and suddenly my screen froze for 1 minute and then I got the blue screen. This has never happened to me before.
2 Thieves killed 20 people? Sounds like they were either hacking or you guys suck.
Thieves. It’s all people roam with. You are annoying, can deal insane burst damage and can also run away like a noob as soon as you might get killed.
Yeah it’s a good idea. It’s annoying to keep having to switch traits whenever I come from pve into wvw. That is actually the reason why I made 2 chars. My necro is for wvw and guardian is for pve. Just because it got annoying swapping armors and traits all the time.
I play this game solely for wvw. There is nothing to do pve wise and spvp is boring so wvw is the only thing I play. It makes me sad the lack of content it’s had the past 10 months. They haven’t fixed the skill lag or added any new content. I am getting really bored of looking at the same maps over and over again. I don’t even care about winning or losing I just focus on farming loot bags now.
You don’t need new content…if WvW would be good, players would dinamically create the content
I do need new content, I need a new progression system in wvw so it feels like I am actually making a difference. The current system doesn’t feel like actual progression. It is just a tiny bonus that hardly makes a difference. It also needs new maps because having 3 identical maps for the past 10 months is just stupid. It gets boring to look at.
It is kind of self explanatory why commanders ask you to stack. It’s because a zerg is weak if it’s all spread out. It means less people get buffs and also damage is dispersed all over the place instead of concentrated on one spot. Also it is to regroup the zerg. You don’t want to run in a fight with 5 people and have a tail of 50 people coming bit by bit behind you. You wan’t to hit with full force of 40-50 people in 1 spot doing damage. If you run around in a big ball and spam skills around you the zerg will do a lot of dmg. The boons will also be easier to get as you are close to other players. It’s sad but that’s the truth with wvw. Fighting in wvw is just a bunch of people running around in a tight group spamming skills.

Great even more currencies to buy useless crap.
It is not just you, I have had the exact same problem in spvp and it is completely unplayable. I can’t play wvw because there is skill lag and players just keep randomly teleporting because of the lag. It is very laggy today and I don’t know why.
Computer build for WvW high+ settings 60+fps?

I have a Intel Core 3570K Ivy Bridge Cpu @ 3.4 ghz and a GTX 670. I can run gw2 at max everything at about 40-70 fps in wvw. When I am in big zergs my fps is usually at around 40-50 and when everyone is casting their skills and theres like 1000 different attack effects on the screen I get about 20-40 fps.
With me it varies where I am fighting. If its a fight at garrison I usually have around 25 fps but if it’s somewhere else like at the bottom of the map I get like 40 fps. This is in a big zerg of course.
I play condition damage necro with a lot of crit too, I find that the golem is best when you are out in the open world because it gives extra damage and it is constantly up. Whereas in wvw it dies immediately when you enter a big zerg so for wvw I use plagues for the debuffs and to get a lot of kills. Lich form is for doing massive damage to boss.
This is weird I hardly ever died as a guardian. But dodging is extremely important! You can easily dodge and get back to fighting the enemy. Make sure your armor is up to date and builds don’t really matter much early game. If you are falling behind levels make sure you visit other zones. You can visit like 5 other 1-15 areas where if you complete each map you will get tons of exp and money. Just focus on completing maps for a lot of exp and if you are behind your story level just visit another zone of the same level range. From level 30-80 there is always a second zone for your level range.
I have done all of my monthly’s and dailies in wvw. Occasionaly some dailies require use of mystic forge, crafting or buying from karma vendors. The monthly can always be completed in wvw. You have to get 50 kills in wvw, then complete 100 events which capturing buildings, killing dolyaks and defending counts as events. Then you need to complete 4 dailies which all of the dailies can be done in wvw. Then finally killing 100 veterans which is extremely easy in wvw since every building has veterans defending it.
I play as a guardian with PVT gear. I have 23k hp. It all depends on your build. My offensive guardian build had like 14k hp. If you want to have high hp add a lot of vitality. The max HP i have ever had as a guardian was 24.5k with foods and wvw buffs.
Yes please give us a long bow, shortbow or a rifle. I really want another ranged weapon because scepter sucks and staff has low range. I am tired of not being able to do nothing in wvw when defending keeps from the wall or attacking people on the walls.
As a dps guardian you need to change your build to support.
In zerg fights use your staff to spam #1 and hit many enemies, this will allow you to get their kills when the rest of your group kills them. Also use GS to do some large aoe dps when you are in a middle of an enemy group.
I use staff as my aoe in zerg fight in wvw. I just spam 1# skill and run around getting hit markers on enemies so I can get points for their kills. It is mainly used as support with speed boost and the #4 skill is awesome in buffing up your teams might and health. Line of warding can be very useful in closing off choke points or slowing down enemy movement.
I find myself usually running around spamming the staff #1 skill to get kills. It is annoying to play guardian sometimes as you get kited very easily. Also, when you are taking a keep you have nothing to do except stand and watch as you have very few abilities which allow you to hit up on the walls. I really wanted guardians to be able to use bows but I guess arena net will never give us that.
Guardian is mainly best played as support. Your shouts will remove conditions and it is very useful when you are in a group. Some builds also allow you to be literally unkillable. Many guardians can escape near death situations because they have awesome survival builds. But guardian definitely lacks on range skills.
I agree guardians need to get this because it is a pain using my whirling wrath only to find my opponent has ran out of its radius. Or having to constantly switch to staff because I am being kited.
Yes that’s what we need, more tags on map!
I gathered the 10 samples required to get that flower back piece. But now I am confused as to what I am supposed to do. I want to get that cool back piece but I have no idea how to continue with the story or how to get it.
Been having this issue since yesterday too
Over the past 2 days I suddenly have this very bad latency lag which has made the game unplayable. Skills activate 2-3 seconds after I press them and its even worse in WvWvW. The game was fine a few days ago but now it’s very bad. It ran a speed test and my download speed is 9mb/s. This is very high for me and I don’t experience any lag when playing other games. I only lag when I play gw2.
Very good fights on Deso borderland today enjoyable fighting both of the servers down at bluelake

Taken at 11:20 pm GMTDoes this look like we have an alliance with vizunah? If much seems we have an alliance with you lol! Stop being delirious seriously…
This is a 1v1v1, means there will be plenty of 2v1 situations, for one side or the other, arguing there is an alliance because of 1 situation in one border, even if it was one day… oh gawd…
Yes NOW you guys started fighting, the whole day today it was just viz and sfr vs deso
Also, when the entire vizunha zerg was in bay, seafarer could have easily taken one of their fortified towers but instead chose to also come into bay make it lagg and attempt to kill deso with vizunha.
It did not take the developers 5+ years to develop wvw. If it did then they done a REALLY bad job because WvWvW lacks in content so bad. I agree there should be a trait system but you know arena net they would rather create pve content and forget us pvp’ers which also make up a large amount of the playerbase. They can make new pve crap every month but they can’t create 1 new map for wvw or a trait system?
The new update was useless. They still haven’t done anything with the orbs they took out 6 months ago, they removed culling but now there is skill lag as soon as 50 people stand close to each other. The rank system is a joke. 300 rank points to get +5 supply increase? I was expecting addition of new skins, ascended gear and new maps but no, we get some useless talent points. 5% dmg reduction from siege is pointless. So now instead of an arrow cart hitting me for 2k dmg it hits me for 1.9k OMG WHAT AN AWESOME TALENT. The developers are too lazy to even add real achivements. They instead decide to add achievements which will take 5 years for the average player to obtain and most people gave up on them already. I know only 1 person who is close to getting the 250k kills required to get achievement and that is the RG leader. So many people play WvW and they haven’t been kind on us at all. 3 identical maps that look the same, 7 months in to the game, still no promised content update. I wonder how many more months we will have to wait to get ascend gear in wvw or even a new looking map.
What is the problem of doing zergs? It is called world vs world for a reason. If you want small group pvp go and play spvp it is as simple as that. It is a massive multiplayer battle for a reason. There is no problem with zerging, the problem is that they made wvw to encourage zerging but they forgot to add stable servers which can handle a lot of players. As soon as its 50v50 fight or more you get skill lagg which makes you completely useless.
Either get a good wvw guild and play with them or go to spvp, because anet isn’t going to design keeps to be taken by 3 players.
Can this stupid alliance between vizunha and seafarer in vizunha borderland stop? Literally today GoD had to fight both of the servers of 100+ players for 4-5 hours. As soon as vizunha hits bay seafarer hits redbriar. The 2 servers have not attacked each others territory at all for the past 8 hours and it is getting silly. Even with both servers allied against deso we still managed to wipe them but now its getting too much for us to handle.
It was real good fights but I no longer honor a few guilds simply because they need to ally against us to kill us. I don’t know about other borderlands but in vizunha borderland they haven’t fought each other at all…
World vs world needs better rewards such as armour skins. It needs leader boards such as rank kills guild influence etc. I don’t get why arena net are trying to be care bares and taking out competitiveness by hardly allowing any progression. There are also no duels yet which is very stupid and also nothing to do with a huge guild except world vs world. We need raid dungeons not some silly guild missions. I have been hoping arena net would add this since November but here we are half a year later still the same crap. The rank system is pointless too. 5% less damage from siege? Great! Now instead of being hit for 10k by a ballista I’m getting hit for 9.5k so worth it for 30 points!
We also lack achivement progression in world vs world. Our current achievements require years of no lifing to get. I’ve escorted 300 dolyaks and on the progression it shows that I’m still 0% complete. WTF am I expected to escort 100k Dolyaks to get a stupid title? I have 10k kills in wvw and I need 240k more to get the achievement. You should be rewarded with a legendary weapon for achieving something so high. It’s extremely uncreative to make achievements so hard and long to get.
There is a simple solution to this. Add a damage meter. For example if 10k dmg is dealt to a gate or wall it should report as contested. That’s about the same as 1 hit from a ram so it should identify siege. Since 1 player deals like 100 dmg to a gate it would take him a long time to do 10 k damage solo. By then your scouts should have seen them scratching the door
There’s a reason why good guilds always have scouts in the places they own. A scout can easily tell you if there is a big force incoming or if it is some random attacking gate for fun. Quaggans also can cause contested buildings.

The first misspelled word or poorly structured sentence is cause for anyone who you might be hoping to influence to stop reading your post and disregard whatever portion of your argument they have read.Enjoy your holiday season, and remember: colleges are processing registrations for Spring semester classes right now!
Ahh, the grammar nazi! When you can’t respond to an argument you start commenting on spelling and punctuation.
Maybe take into account that english is some people’s second language.
With my guardian I can probably kill 10 thieves all together, 1 hit takes out half their hp. Also I noticed that most thieves use backstab and then heartseek, however if that doesn’t kill you they have no idea what to do and end up shadow refuge and run or just die. It’s so fun to open with #2 hammer skill, then #3, then #4 and then k0 XD
In large group fights thieves tend to struggle quite a bit, so if you run smaller groups and often take on larger groups there is one thing a thief excels at:
stomping people
ressing peoplethat should be the thiefs sole purpose.
A good thief will be finishing targets off or in the middle of their group sowing confusion and panick.
My guild was running 5 and we came across a small zerg of players (15-20) I was the only thief and basically I was seperate from the rest in the enemies back lines.
It works wonders since people tend to panick when they start dying on both sides.
Eventually tho the zerg doubled or more and wiped us…..we dropped a kitten ton of em and I was the only one to live
Because you shadow refuged and ran awya, thiefes best friend
Uhmm how exactly is this a problem?What info is the guy giving away?
Dead guy: Hahaha I am spying on them! Okay guys they are moving about…. still moving about….. now their building arrow carts…. Moving about….
Seriosly, is the dead guy spying your chat or something? He is hardly going to give away valuable intel lmao.
Show me your statistics and conclusive proof showing that many people are leaving GW2. You’ll also have to define many. Until that happens, anything else is null.
Until that time comes, the only thing for an objective person to conclude is that you wanted to voice your complaints about GW2 under the guise of explaining why “many” people left GW2.
Play the game and see for yourself. All of the starting zones = empty. This means there is no new players coming into the game. I have made several alt chars and probably seen about 5 players in total on the 1-15 maps and even less on mid 40s. Cursed shore is also empty now, before every event was heavily farmed. WvWvW no longer has ques like it did a few months ago at least for my server. My guild has 400+ members all of them were active now only about 70 are. I know several people form a gaming community I have been in that have reached lvl 80 played for a bit and never touched the game ever since. The evidence of people leaving is everywhere. The only map that still has players is lions arch and they are mostly afk because they have nothing else to do. Face it this game is slowly but surely losing players. It might not die but I can surely see server merges in the near future to keep the servers alive unless they launch an expansion that makes me come back. At the moment I cba to even log on.
I think what they need to do is close the game down for another year because it was clearly not ready for launch. The game has nothing to offer end game and wvw is broken full of glitches. Also another game breaker is how stupidly easy it is to fly hack. I seen so many people fly hack over walls of keeps, jumping puzzle and also speed hack. Anyone can fly hack if they wanted to its just a simple dowwnload, im ashamed gw2 hasn’t done anything to stop it.
Im not gonna waste my breath to talk about thieves because Im tried of teaching people how to play their class and kill a thieve.
The reason why I and many other people quit is because of the lack of end game. There is nothing to do except grind cursed shore for legendary, which is a pointless skin. SPVP isn’t even end game any 1 can make a lvl 1 char and play.
WvWvW is the only thing I enjoyed in this game, however wvwvw is now dead to me. It has become so boring after hundreds of hours of gameplay with my guild, the only reason why I log on is because of guild. I probably spent like 1 hour in total the last weeks in wvw. I have about 800 hours of gameplay on my char and id say 90% of it is in wvw. Once you have taken every keep on every map 100 of times it gets boring. Since there isn’t a real reward in wvw its boring. At the end of the week our hard work gets reset and it doesn’t matter if you win or not. I have a thousand or so badges now and I have nothing to do with it except spend it on siege.

It’s safe to say I have probably quit the game, I play in a wvw guild and I have spent hundreds of hours of gametime in wvw. It now got to the point that its just unenjoyable to even log in. It’s the same thing day in day out. wvw is dull and boring and im noticing a lot of people get bored and quit the game. The only reasonI even log in is because of my guild.
I am not proud to say that a thieve has never ever killed me in wvw on a 1v1.I have fought all of the classes in 1v1 hundreds of times. I play as a guardian and thieves are no problem for me.I use hammer and if i crit with my number 2 skill i can get them down to half health, then immobalise, knockback and add a few auto attacks and they are dead. If i get them down to half hp they either stealth and run away or are simply dead.
I think they should remove keeps, supply camps and towers so we will just have quaggan camps and supply camps to take.
On a serious note how can someone create such a stupid thread >.<
I believe this is still fair. Defenders should always have an advantage. If they can be AoE’ed and destroyed so easily, then defenders will have a much much harder time holding their own stuff. I main my mesmer so I can pretty much never hit anything on the walls after the line of sight nerf to the phantasms. I still think its fair for the defender.
How is it fair? They are using camera exploits just because they are defending doesn’t mean crap. How would you like it if i as an attacker flew inside your keep and killed your siege?
You’r playing yesterday prime time ? seem’s not ..
Nice you took a screenshot, visit the mos millenium site and see the income, at certain points desolation have more points.
Today GoD took over most of the arborstone borderland it was fun.
I hop on to the desolation borderland, go to EH and see arborstone demonstrating great hacking/exploiting abilities. I wish I could jump over the wall of a fully fortified keep and portal my zerg in without needing to break the gate.
It was fun today, my guild built about 10 golems in arborstone borderland. We went on a rampage and made the whole map red in about 10 mins with huge golem attacks on fully upgraded keeps and towers.
Although that was fun wvw is getting dull for me. Been doing the same thing for months now for no reason. There’s no reward no ranks and it doesn’t matter who wins at the end. If it wasn’t for my amazing guild I would have stopped playing ages ago.
