Guild Wars 2

If you copy your main game dat file into the folder where you have the new exe, and rename it to “Gw2FeaturePTT.dat” (Or just Gw2FeaturePTT if the .dat isnt shown, depending on your windows settings)

Then you wont have to download as much.

Ins, the new client downloads to wherever you run the new exe.

You can play your “main” client using multi wars 2

upto 75000KB downloaded @ 7KB/s

The double kicker is that if you close it, it resets the download progress O__O

7KB/s ftw

upto 42880KB downloaded

Guardian shouts seem to be effecting more than 5 people

Example: (Not taken by me): https://i.imgur.com/oDdJqIL.jpg

I have tested “Feel My Wrath!”, “Stand Your Ground!” and “Hold the Line!” myself in and around LA (PvE) and they all seem to be able to effect 10 people (Most I could click and check before the boons ran out)

When you slot the fire line for ele you gain a bonus 150 power, this is on top of the 150 bonus power when you attune to fire.

Reproduced in WvW and PvE

Edit: Happens with and without traits assigned to the fire line, none of the other lines seem to give bonus attributes.

Some other assumptions I’m seeing is about our server hardware and inefficient use of communication between them and the game’s database. I’ll go ahead and put these assumptions to rest. Our server hardware was actually purchased new right around the launch of the game, rest assured its not out-dated.

The hardware can be as new and as powerful as you like. The problem for EU players is that you chose to locate your ‘EU’ servers in Texas, and no matter how powerful the server hardware you’re going to get more lag if the data has to go from (say) France to Texas and back than if it had to go from France to the Netherlands and back.

Do a tracert on one of the game sever IP’s (the ones you get when you type /ip) or look at the ping values in resmon for gw2.exe, I get values in the range of 20-80 from the UK, that’s normal for a connection to a server in germany, the US would be 130+ (I used to be on a US server in GW2, and I can tell you I felt the ping difference at once when I moved EU)

As far as skill lag, the only place I have had any problems popping skills has been in large 3 way fights (A nice big garri fight, almost 3 whole zone blobs), and even then it as around 0.5-2s at its worst rather than upto 4s, a massive improvement, it has made WvW a lot more enjoyable for me thats for sure!

In normal WvW fights I haven’t had any problems, and it seems the whole map doesn’t start lagging anymore when a large fight breaks out somewhere.
