Guild Wars 2

Dopamine.7502:

As topic says. BETA testing has no place in WvW. Use the new BL tests to test WvW for beta characters. BETA characters are unbalanced and have no place in WvW matchups.

You are exactly the person I was aiming for with my troll spec reaper. Good times.

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).

That is wonderful to hear! Thanks!

JQBL was a blobfest in garri for reset night last night.. my guild decided to try and run a small group at first (bout 5-10man) and hopefully avoid some lag.. we were near north camp fighting a small 5 group havoc, half the map away from the garri blob fest and the lag was unreal. Teleports happening, skills taking sometimes a minute to cast. I think I stood in a static field for over a minute once.

We managed to kill the havoc group but I don’t think any skill was involved there — the lag was stronger with us than them.

All Anet has to do to confirm is jump into WvW and play a blob vs blob fight to experience the lag. In all likelihood they play their own game and probably already know what WvW’ers are already experiencing.

It’s really harshing my GW2 buzz — and I only play GW for WvW

I like your looks zerosouls!
what hat is that on your head? and how do I get it?

Haven’t seen it available in a while TBH

Kinda partial to mine actually

Two blobs are fighting in SM — still can’t pop my skills back at keep. RIP

Oh yea — can someone explain to me how stab can create lag? I was on TS listening to the map channel talk about the lag and they were saying something like multiple maps, stab change, etc.. wasn’t really following..

I haven’t been able to nail down exactly when it happens, but sometimes my selected mini will be unselected randomly and I will have to reselect it. I find myself doing this a lot more recently. It is the same for finishers as well.

Thanks everyone for giving us some feedback on this system we’ll meet internally and discuss this system some more as I think there are a lot of valid points being brought up here.

Excellent news Isaiah! We look forward to hearing back from you

Thanks

New build coming in 10 mins, hopefully a fix

What kind of issue are you specifically having that could be related to lag?
Cannot change attunements, spamming skills only result in blinking icon-no skill being cast, occasional rubber banding

What server are you on?
JQ

Has there ever been a time when you or a friend are experiencing lag, while others in your party are not?
Everything seems to be concentrated on where the Zerg content is.

Has there ever been a time where one party in a map is experiencing lag, while other parties in that same map are not?
Like I said before, it only seems to be effecting anyone near the zerg

Do you experience the lag at very specific times?
Yes, specifically when there is a zerg nearby. Usually can tell if an enemy zerg is behind a gate or wall due to lag.

If so, can you estimate how many players are in each zerg?
30v30 zerg seems to be right about when I can notice some noticeable lag. As numbers increase skills become lagged and rubberbanding will happen in very tight areas like garrison, lords room, etc.

Give us access to DPS\Performance charts for current fights. This will give the under-performers a goal to try and become better Guild Wars’ers.

While I’ll agree that much of this content has been buggy — I DO appreciate that Anet has attempted to take steps to break up the zerg train that this event was becoming.

Sadly had to quit playing tonight for this reason.. Had back to back to back ZvZvZ’s — couldn’t switch attunements, heal or damage. I was standing in the middle of an enemy hammer train and barely taking damage.

3rd toon doing 100% map completion, count me in in this as well guys.

Hell I don’t see anyone EVER doing the temple events anymore.. I kept trying to do them today and it was a fail boat train and has been for a week or so now.

Jeffrey Vaughn.1793:

Update: I’ve made a change so the wurm can no longer be killed before the event starts, and increased the max scale of the event so it should be slightly less zergable. It’s in QA’s hands right now for testing, and should be in a future update.

Excellent! Thank you fine sir!

I’d like to give a little update.. I came across the Wurm today since it was where I logged off from last night. I was able to actually target him and also get gold against him, he lasted for an amazing 20 seconds or so.

Apologies to ANet developers for my brash attitude in the OP, I was pretty annoyed given the amount of time I spent waiting for him to appear.

Still, it would be nice to see some of the bugs in a lot of the events become a priority.

Best regards

Sorry if this is a report from many other complaints, which I’m sure there is plenty of.

I waited about 50 minutes, maybe more for this worm to appear, and granted, there were a ton of people there; but this worm not only wasn’t target-able (which was expected given I couldn’t target him a few days before), but I couldn’t even get bronze with AoE once he appeared. Lag aside, I figured I’d at least get bronze, but, this is not how I expect an MMORPG “event” in which I rely on for items and such, and more importantly, TIME that I have spent just sitting around waiting.

Please fix this event, you have released a major patch for which I have already mostly completed in a matter of hours.

I look forward to the meta events being fixed, thank you.
