They probably just aren't familiar with the mechanics and aren't sure how to get where they need to be. That's why we're sharing strategies on how to handle the mechanics. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except you have people explaining the mechanics prior to the boss fight and during it. This also includes call outs to get ready to move and when to move. I think a lot of people are just used to stacking on a boss and eating damage from attacks/mechanics as those around them can just revive them.

Ruisen.9471 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 (edited) Is it a bug that the mechanic kills you completely instead of taking you to downstate? Even raid mechanics often only downstate you if you miss it. Edited April 13, 2022 by Ruisen.9471 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it has done much good there so it is hard to believe it will perform much better elsewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it really that hard to grasp that sometimes stuff doesn't render? Like, how many times do i have to explain that i sometimes don't see where to go and that 4 seconds aren't enough for me to extrapolate where the freaking arms were (if i can even see them hit that is), and guess where everything is supposed to render? Even with clear visual indicators it's cutting really close and people can't sometimes make it to the cover in time. But on low end PCs, it's worse. Luckily, infusion vomit and huge spell effects get priority when rendering, so sometimes the engine just forgets to render the boss stuff. Neato! I mean, I have the same issue because I'm playing on a laptop but its still fairly easy to get behind a trash pile, I did die to it the first few times but after I realized I should just zoom out entirely and look where the boss slams its massive arms, it became really easy, because I can immediately see where the trash pile is even with 5fps power point slideshow, so I just run to it pre-emptively btw I don't want this to come off as toxic, just wanted to say my point to a few month old post I found 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the it's a necro thread but I was curious if indeed the screenshot was taken on a PC that meets the MSR's, and you do frequent the forums currently. Where I used to work, putting up those graphics on a box that met MSR's would have been a real no-no so I was curious. Clearly that spot you screenshotted was far enough from the WP that the floor should have loaded, and unless there's another issue with your rig other than being a potato, something is up.

Kestrel Ayumi will warn players to get behind something. Between her warning and one shot clap, there's only a few short seconds, leaving players who can't find trash out in the open and rip to them. There's a trick for seeing the trash early. XJ-7 starts it's "hand clap" on 3rd part. First, make sure camera is panned out to see entire boss and most of field. The boss will extend it's arm then pound it's fist straight down. (It's technically a grab, looks like fist.) Once hand lifts, trash will be under, giving players a chance to work there way over before warning. Just make sure to keep dpsing while gravitating close to the trash. Good luck! Maybe this will reduce dead player count 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. It's not a few seconds, it's 15. I timed it. Players die to it because they ignore it not because they don't have time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly that spot you screenshotted was far enough from the WP that the floor should have loaded, and unless there's another issue with your rig other than being a potato, something is up. You mean the Arborstone screenshot? Yeah, sometimes that happens, not really sure what to think. I have an SSD as well, so maybe somehing messes up during loading idk. It's rare enough that it's not unplayable, but sometimes it means that stuff doesn't get loaded when it should. There's also some LOD issues at specific points, like in the Ankka Strike at the end, the whole walls are super low res unless i go right up to them, and sometimes that also happens in the junkyard in the Echovald map. I think it's time Anet updated the minimum requirements because my recomended requirements aren't really enough to run the game smoothly. It runs the game, sure, but yeah... Or... There's nothing wrong with anything on my end, and this might be happening because of the DX11 switch. For the longest time, WvW looked like a circus with random shader maps and textures all over the place. So, while i get better performance than i got with DX9, DX11 does have its issues still maybe. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zera.9435 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 The junk piles appear like 10 seconds before you're in any danger. As soon as they appear just get behind them, don't even wait for the warning. By the time the NPC warns you, it's too late and you will die. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
