new patch killing wvw

What have you done to the game, seriously been trying to play all night and everytime i hit a lord or near even a friendly zerg getting killed with lag that makes me NEED to quit the game. this is BS. and before you say its my PC, its not cuz i can play any other game on my PC perfectly. Serious step it up ANET cuz your killing the best game mode you have going for you. WvW is the life blood of GW2. The amount of WvW'ers that still pve is quit a bit, ive seen WvW guilds even start raiding just for an activity since WvW is so trash. FIX IT

Remove arcdps, heard its giving problems. Including its D3d9.dll file (its overlay). Google how to safely remove it if you're not sure.

is that the actual problem?

if it is i am sorry, but still a stupid fgrustration. B

Just words I heard circling among my guilds and friends. Stuttering in crowded areas especially Divinity Reach, entering combat, freezes and game crashes in fractals etc.

Symtoms seem to fit and removing arc seems to fixed the problem(probably needs an update). If removing arc doesn't help, then its another underlying problem for this case.

I was getting some stuttering yesterday, in both WvW and PvE, but I don't, and never have, used arcdps.

There is a limited time festival event going on. More GW2 players are likely online now than they were two weeks ago. The hamsters in ANETs servers can only run so fast....

Frankly the lag issues are so bad in the festival I gave up trying and went back to my main stomping grounds... wvw... as bad as it can get at times it's a lot better than wintersday.

Couple of friends who had the same issue solved it by removing arcDPS. (I dont use it so i had no issues)While tolerated (or at least ignored) by Anet this add-on is not supported. This usually happens after each patch btw - one of the reasons i never installed it.Friends who use it fully expect new version to be available soon, that was the usual reaction after patchs so far.

Regardless of if this is the cause or not, you absolutely should have known to disable this before making your post.

Can you kill something that's already dead?

And please, please stop with the "but scourge, the bane of wvw, wasnt nerfed"I will remind you the increase of cooldown in all shade skills (50%), the Dhuumfire nerf, the big shade nerf (it had its cooldown from 10s increased to 30s). Did necro players complain? They sure did. Did they adapt? Yes they did. Because it all came down from mindless shade spamming to tactical big shade+shroud activation. Spam big shades, you wont have any to place during a bomb. Spam shroud, you will have to wait 30s to place it in a bomb. Hell, in current meta (pre 11-12 patch) necros didnt even take soulreap line, for the 20% decrease in cooldown of shroud skills.Spellbreaker also has WoD nerfed. Still necessary.Minstrel mesmer boonshare was nerfed. Let's admit it, that class combined with firebrand was heavy Boonspamming machine. Tome 3 had 42s cd, much less with conversion of chill to alacrity, so you could just spam spam spam (and that is why the game has scourges and spellbreakers).TL;dr you will adapt. Scourges did. Spellbreakers did. Apart from the class imbalances, wvw suffers (in my opinion, much more) heavily from population imbalance and the frustration that comes with it. Hope to see you on the borderlands!

Did you even read the post? It's about horrible stuttering and framerate lag in WvW, not the meta lol

I wish I could ‘thumbs up’ or ‘helpful’ this 10 times....

use third party apps, get third partied. and even you're not doing anything risky, they gonn still get in like disabling your sound or hijacking your shutdown button (on windows 10). if that happens, that means you're a big deal to this nubsh1tters. all you have to do is let them be and f@cking watch their "movements". and how do you trap? you effin let them in. and effin who is the CEO of Microsoft? so yea.

so indeed, there is the famous, and the meta-famous.

That’s my downfall normally.. :smile:

Tibbs I thought you retired and reformed for the 6th time. You still playing?

Arcdps needs to be updated every patch, other wise it can cause your game to crash.

WvW has been dead
