Wall E.5349 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I used to be able to collect orbs 100% of the time. Now it's very unpredictable, sometimes the orbs just fly right through me.... Anyone else feels it's worse now after anet "fixed" the issue to make orb collecting easier? I have max 50 ping with no packet loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptAurellian.9537 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Didn't feel any different from before the patch when I did orbs yesterday. Usually I'd get them, sometimes they (mostly the big ones, which is particularly annoying) would just fly through me as if nothing happened. Imho, the orb thing makes Dhuum the worst raid boss in GW2. Just don't design stuff that way when you know (as Ben admitted on Reddit) that the engine can't properly handle it.

Gambino.2109 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I hope they never recycle this mechanic to anything in future... it's definitely not a fan favorite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malediktus.9250 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Collecting orbs is definitely my least favorite mechanic in all 5 raid wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orangensaft.7139 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I also have the feeling it got worse a little bit .... (maybe just being paranoid here though xD) But at least it didnt feel improved so if Anet wanted to improve it then they need to change something about it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaba.5410 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I heard it suggested that you should lay off the movement keys when you hit an orb in order to give the server time to synch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thessassin.5376 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Hey now, they only said they made orbs more consistent, it's just that its consistently worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Arnold.3457 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I'm looking in to ways to improve the big orbs. The small orbs should definitely feel better, but big orbs feel worse for people who were used to using the edges of the orbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talindra.4958 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I haven't been doing green for ages...... quite nervous to go in and try tbh lol.. but I will try if I hv time this week :) feedback after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarasicodissa.7084 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Yeah what Ben said. Small orbs are fine for the most part, but the big ones are insane now. Used to be perfectly fine. Pls if you have backup, revert to the old behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talindra.4958 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Our run yesterday at dhuum our green guys were fine.. mmmm.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Arnold.3457 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I've got a fix queued that makes the big orbs same as before, but better. For now pretend the big orbs are small orbs since the hitbox is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can solo stealth your way to the first green circle event, so it is possible for players to practice this mechanic in their solo time: Also for complete beginners, greens are pretty much the exact same no matter which reaper you go up at. I.e go left and get the big one, then get surrounding small ones. Edit: left being left while facing the inner of the circle. Also called clockwise or negative using right hand rule with up as positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
