Yes, go outside when a Zerg comes to our outnumbered map and fight them head on. Smart idea, really. 10/10 Would never have thought about that. Siege is how you defend against groups way larger than you that you have no chance of stopping. This isn’t a Ktrain in EotM. Go ahead and take my words out of context. There are spots where barrage can't hit bc Barrage is still restricted by skill range. If you fail at taking that into consideration you aren't ready to defend against large group of enemy anyway. Up your siege game.

You are saying it like most rangers in WvW know this. 90% of the rangers I see don't do jack shit when they can take out ac's where other classes can't.Also, you call barrage cheesy as if camping AC's/siege isn't. Go out and fight. Stop complaining about things that don't need changing.

Wow and I thought it was just me. I started having very frequent lag spikes on NA since I moved from the US to Asia a year ago. It was this March when it has become unplayable for me because no skills will respond so I moved to EU and surprisingly I don't experience lag half as much as I did on NA server. Transferred back to NA because all my friends are on NA but unfortunately the problem persists. Don't know exactly why that is but I can no longer play on NA due to high ping (400-600 avg, 1k-3k spikes) anymore. I also don't expect Anet to care about their SEA/OCX players so it's whatever. If EU ping becomes unstable then that'll be it for me.

some form of teaser would definitely be great right now.

can we get some new hair/beard/faces already? it's been a while now

I started playing this game since HoT and bc of HoT I stayed. The maps and meta took some time getting used to, but now navigating the maps is a piece of cake. Things you listed as annoyance, are what keep many people playing. I like that I had to figure everything out instead of having them handed to me. They are also different in nature, but in a coherent way so all things do eventually connect. It's a shame that's a "grind" to you. On the bright side, you can still enjoy the game like you had, as your enjoyment never involved HoT anyway. Even if I didn't like HoT I wouldn't bother opening a thread saying I hate it because chances are, you aren't going to change anything if that's the direction Anet has decided taking. The game has changed a lot since you left, and it will continue evolving. But I guess posting on forum saying that you will tell your friend to never come back is more liberating.

soooo worth it. Tops all 2k gem skins simply bc of the animations. Here's to hoping they keep making premium skins that are worth 2k gems.

Okay but I’ve been disconnected from the game for at least 5 times a day, every day since a month ago. My internet is FINE. Can they really look into what’s going on with their servers because it’s one step away for me to just quit the game having been dc’d from wvw with lonnnnnnng queues all the time. Not to mention you’ve got ppl who dc from raid fractals and instances with no check points.

Been experiencing some fps drops and lag spikes too. Too bad they don’t seem to care to improve this poorly optimized game. I’m feeling more inclined to just move on as did some of my friends.

Squad and subgroups are supposed to maximize efficiency for boon shares and heals. Rangers can function on their own why would you wanna take it away from scourges/herald/fb or any zerg class who need them when you give nothing to the team in return? Nothing stops you from running along the zerg and do your own thing. This has been discussed too many times and you should understand it's noting personal.

Expansion has been their main source of revenue given that not most players buy stuff from the gem store. If there isn’t an expansion coming, I don’t know how they are going to sustain with just living story and more importantly show Ncsoft this game is still worth investing resources into. You can only buy so many cosmetic items. /shrug

so you mean it's possible that most people who are experiencing this are having issues bc their ISP's are all having trouble connecting to the GW2 server? Correct? I'm also experiencing constant disconnect as of just past hours. I can login to other games and browse the internet just fine so how exactly do I use Pingplotter to identify if my isp is fucking up the connection to GW2 server?

Sea player here. Been getting 3K lag spikes constantly these two weeks. How about they fix the server instead of asking us to use ping stabling software if many people are being affected?

I noticed sea ping increased from on avg 200 to 350+ with FREQUENT lag spikes at 1000-3000 ping every 10 minutes since last patch but the whole higher ping began at least 3 weeks ago. Anet can you fix your server?

been getting lag spikes 1k-5k (!) ping during 3 way fights. skills basically stopped responding. Been like this for 2 weeks I think.

YES PLEASE!

Been getting lag spikes lately. Located in Hong Kong. Stable internet and doesn’t happen on other things that use internet.

Got it. Well I can only speak for myself but that's not what I do. I do that with or without the numbers. I just think pretty much 1. it's usually a big tell if someone plans on pulling 2. if anyone gets pulled out of the wall/to the edge, they should have enough defensive utilities to get back in before they die. They are also spots that prevent you from getting pulled out completely and vets pretty much know how not to get pulled when they are on siege. People I get are always noobs. If they think focus 4 needs a nerf then I can only agree to disagree.

lmao who is hinding behind numbers? Not sure what you on about. If I curtain pull you I'm right in front of you. Try getting me next time.

If you can't survive a pull you probably wanna switch game modes just saying. also get off siege and actually fight you boring kitten.

would love that but i hate the constant sound effects on minis hopefully no annoying sounds with mounts

I am from China and now live in the States. Tbh I don't think point 1 is exclusive to only China. Most Asian countries do not like their architecture or what not to be mixed with that of another country. That didn't stop gaming companies from creating architectures with mixed styles. There's also not been a case where a game is prohibited from doing so just because one country decides the architectures in a game do not fully represent their architectures in real life. If there is, please enlighten me. Having played so many Asian oriented MMORPG's since I was little, I notice they all have a variety of mixed cultures from different eastern countries-many of which include Ancient Chinese, Japanese, and Korean architectures. There has never been a problem. If there ever was an actual case that supports your assumption that things will become political, please do kindly link them. Btw what is MO? Why does China have to be excluded from this expansion? What exactly do you mean by excluding them, like not adding Chinese aesthetics into the game or not allowing people from China to buy the expansion? What makes you think any of these solutions you listed can combat what problems are to come as you described if Anet decides to make Cantha? Edit: just wanted to add that I find your comment incredibly vague yet it seems you wanted to point out there'd be many problems and risks involved in adding Cantha into the game, which I do not see. Do you mind telling me what kind of risks are you talking about?

yes. would love to see asian inspired elite specs and scenery.

Player housing. I am sure if Anet is to make it they are going to make it somewhat different than a normal housing feature like they did with mounts. I also want another class to play.

"My schoolmate keeps stealing my lunch money!" - "So don't bring any lunch money, seems simple." eh. Stealing your lunch money is not the same as pricing some mount skin at a price you don't find worth it though.
