Same. Took me three attempts to get into DBL. Had to restart my client completely in the end to solve.

The wiki is usually decent at showing you where the starting Aether node is.

Just out of curiosity, did you touch the aether at the start of the JP first? You need to touch both.

I think we have everyone beat on graphical glitches. Behold the splendour of the bouncing beachball meta. Witness the majesty of the invisible bosom, and the perpetually red pants. There are also plenty of black textures, disappearing weapons, transparent maps--as mentioned in the thread above--but they mostly disappear with a game restart. Annoying though, and sometimes utterly unplayable.

Same. Did strike yesterday and got the mastery point, but the fix has merely reset the special without awarding me Astral Acclaim 😞

You're aware that I was specifically commenting on Obtena's post on the the disposition of some to take things not being done their way personally, and to devolve into doomsaying, do you?

Yes! Unfortunately, you'll never get some people to believe this. For some, every bug left unfixed is a personal affront and proof that nobody cares and that the game is dead.

Yup... 5 crashes today, too.... no arcDPS. Same yesterday, and the day before... in fact fairly frequently since around the time of the SAB patch

KeyOrion: I said in the OP that this wasn't a stab issue. I'm talking about people with no stab or defensive boons.

If they've changed how it works, great. I'll just use it differently or use something else. I'm just trying to ascertain whether anyone that uses GS5 on reaper has noticed a change. P.S. A tip: don't stand on walls without stab.

TLDR version: Has anyone noticed that the Greatsword 5 pull (Grasping Darkness for the nerds) has been performing unpredictably over the past couple of weeks? Was talking to a few fellow necros recently, and we all felt that GS5 hasn't been functioning as it used to. Usually I get an 8-9 out of 10 success rate on pulls (assuming no stab, blocks, etc.), but these past few weeks (maybe post WD patch?), it seems to have inexplicably dropped to maybe 2-3. There's a tendency for people to get stuck on the outer lip of structures more, or more worryingly no contact at all on what should be dead cert pulls (nothing registering: no numbers, no blocks, and no being put in combat.) Just curious as to whether anyone else is having issues (possibly due to a stealth tweak somewhere down the line), or whether it's just a run of bad luck.

I also have this problem when running a VPN. I have to turn it off and retry.

Yeah, not everybody appreciates being forced into PvP. I don't understand why there aren't other options available. Please reconsider, Anet. These are fun achievements, but PvP isn't for everybody

The CPU temperature is now around 140-145 F whether the game's running or not. The GPU temp obviously goes up and down, but the CPU temp is pretty stable. The CPU temperature does seem a little high, but the computer dude said it was within normal working parameters. I think the de-dusting, new memory, and advice re: air flow has helped though. No problems at all, thus far.
