[VG] The GU5 Abortion

[Melchizedek]

GU5 has many issues. Mainly; the entire reason for releasing GU5. Hitching.

Bros, hitching is back and it is worse than Beta 2. Yeah, I have been around that long and I can tell you that Vanguards sucks now more than at the release with the current configuration; at least in APW. The game is playable but not enjoyable and thus, is worthless at the moment.

This GU was either:

a) Not tested at all
b) Coded like Helen Keller
c) A combo of a and b

Any answer you chose, it is wrong.

The new diplomacy neck which allows you to get coins under the city (banner) of your choice casts a rebuff every so often that causes your FPS to drop anywhere from 30-70 percent. My own system pleasantly runs Vanguard somewhere between 30-40 FPS in a raid environment.

Tonight I was happy and shitting bricks with 10FPS and I was averaging somewhere between 4-8 FPS.

Add to that the ping is staying in the green, and you get mobs beating you down while you fight the hitching. Boo.

The problem is magnified with other items that automatically recast their buff, or other classes such as bards or psionists. Your FPS just goes straight down the crapper. I really do not understand what the hell the boys over there at SOE are thinking, but FFS please release something that works at least 80% of the time?

There is absolutely no excuse for the issues that were uncovered tonight. None. After all, there is a “test” server right?

If others are having issues with GU5 I hope you post them here. While rants and flames are fine, lets keep this out of the shaw. The devs really need to see what the fuck is going on right now.

So in summary:

• The new diplomacy neck auto-casting it’s buff is causing FPS to drop.
• Items that auto-cast buffs cause the FPS to drop.
• Certain classes that continuously auto-cast buffs (or sing) cause the FPS to drop.

I am not even going to touch what happened to the blood mage today, you sorry bastards. I feel for you.

This could really turn it around… who the fuck are we kidding. I really need a new mount, no really, I do.

This could really turn it around for Vanguard?

That never gets old.

Glad I'm taking a break. I'll be back in a few weeks though to enjoy the pain. I tried to make it with AoC but she just doesn't spank as well.

The hitching isnt bad, i just got done doing 2 hours of the ToT temples and me and my whole group were fine. Its the lag when in raids. The Dev's already acknowledged it. The hitching has definately gotten alot better. Stuff loads alot faster.

Where's the patch notes? I love those blood mages, I'd hate for them to get nerfed!

Eh, they are out there somewhere's, but i was in a group with a blood mage a few min ago, and he goes. eh, i got 2000 more hps now. lol He didnt seem pissed off about it, and this guy is in my guild usually has a strong opinion on things.

It looks like the Blood Mages just got buffs. And everyone should be creaming over new racial mounts. You can ride a lobster!

Sucks to hear how bad this patch it. It's a shame really, there were a lot of things I liked about VG.

Things have come around the horn so many times, I am starting to get confused, is bad VG news supposed to make me happy or sad now? I can't remember.

From someone who actually plays the game:

Gu5 is good.
There are bugs.
Bugs will be fixed.
The OP is a fucking drama queen.

Probably, but I'm less of an apologist than the OP is of an attention whore (there's already a post on VG on the front page...it's been there for weeks).

Seriously though, I don't understand how anyone who actually plays the game can complain when the hitching has improved so much. It may not sound like much, but when you're actually playing the game, the difference makes the game feel so much better.
