I believe this is related to ping issues. Like after you dismount, there's a delay before the server registers you are off the mount. Yet with gliding being locally. I can see why the 2 conflict.

*beep boop* MEEP MEEP

This game would run a lot better if the Amazon Servers its running on weren't shared with other games.

It needs dedicated servers, and a way better CPU to handle the skill spam. What we had previously was 10 times better. When you decide to cut costs and go with the cheaper option, it hurts in the long run because not only does it upset your players. It drives them off the game in frustration.

1. Endless Revive Orb Contract

2. Bottomless Metabolic Primer Contract

3. Bottomless Utility Primer Contract

4. Permanent Heroic Booster Contract

5. Endless Black Lion Key (has a cooldown of 1 week, and shares the same spot as the level 10 story. It would be a convenient item for those that do not want to farm a key per week. Could be sold on gemstore for 800 gems). Either that, or you lose out on money and people just farm it for free. Yet if this existed people would be more inclined to buy it to not have to do the level 10 story per week.

On the subject of QoL suggestions for guilds.. how about more guild slots too???

Not sure what direction the adjusting was going, but if it was being adjust to make up for the loss in stability.. you went wrong direction on this one.. Yes the skill has stability on it, but it is also one of the few stun breaks a scourge has..

So watchtower tactic, but for keeps??

Yeah, they made a comment on it after release went live, but never did add it to the notes lol

Same here.. seems to have fixed itself again.. getting really irritating.

> WvW side of things is the concern about longer cooldowns on stability skills and the effect it will have on large scale engagements. Based on that feedback, we won’t be applying most of these changes in WvW for the initial update.

Does this also include Trail of Anguish from Scourge as it is a Stability skill?

Might want to update the release notes.

Claimed to have been shipped with today's patch.. but I don't see nothing in the notes..

I wonder if this is similar to the incident back in 2018..

This mini pack has never returned once.

Just in case, can you guys make sure Retaliation is scaled appropriately for the upcoming changes? I know that normally retal is scaled based the attacker's skill's power, but with the adjustments, something with spaghetti code could cause retal to fire back with the original power pre-patch. That would be a bit yikes..

This only applied if you used -maploadinfo in your game's shortcut target command line.

Several times in fact. Normally this is where guild missions that have been started show up, but this is just the effect from the icon for guild missions. Strange how it shows up by itself.


I click on the icon and it goes away for a short while, but it reappears like 2 minutes later. It even shows if I have the menu bar set to never show. I'm not sure what's causing it to show up..

> @"CarlJunior.7832" said:

> Lotta people are probably gonna log on and its in YOUR BEST INTEREST to have the game running smoothly :) pretty please :)

Just get a bunch of people to play minion 'mancer and have the pets auto attack while both sides lag out, meanwhile pets don't lag and kill things.. :trollface:

> Spotter's Shot: Reduced power coefficient from 0.8 to 0.4. Increased immobilize duration from 1 second to 1.5 seconds

Great.. give condi rifle DE more CC.. and not even look at Spider Venom.. the main damage for that spec.

You can literally sit at 1500 range and just spam rifle 2 (kneeled) while using spider venom and you can't do anything unless you have the same range as them, and most of the time you don't.

There is very little counterplay against it.. it is bad for competitive modes..

> Trail of Anguish: Increased cooldown from 35 seconds to 50 seconds

I do not agree with this. Literally the only stunbreak a scourge takes (even though there are core necro skills), as the other options do not offer stability. I guess well of power might be the only other option... OOF

Some reason it reminds me of Ecco the Dolphin more, even though its whales..

We have found the cause for this and will have a fix ready in time for the next regularly-scheduled release. The problem is related to the command-line option "-maploadinfo", so until then, disabling that option should help.

I didn't see any notes on this being fixed, and hearing from other people that loading times are longer with it on still. Although I believe we are past our "regularly-scheduled" release by now with episode 2.. no?

Just to be clear we are talking about issues with network responses, not frame lag. Are you experiencing the latter?

I play on NA.. I live in NA.. I don't have no more than 10 seconds tops during huge fights.. I can't say the same for people in EU though.
