Hi to all (excuse my english is not so good )

I try to explain ...

after one of the last updates, when I am in outpost/mission town, I have some troubles with :

1) missing overhead level/profession of ungrouped players
2) missing display of party size overhead the party leader
3) wrong colors used to display players name (blue= grouped light blue= ungrouped)

Details:
1) I can see only some (few) indicators and the amount of overhead level/profession visible seems to increase after some seconds (20-30) and when new players comes in town but I can reach only 30% of total players present (and not grouped -> color of displayed name)

2) in ToA seems nobody (almost) is grouped (only few party leader )

3) sometimes all players are grouped (blue) sometimes all are ungrouped (light blue) and sometimes seem to be correct (colors may change without logic)


Have someone noted these behaviours?

Are known bugs or I have trouble with my game installation and/or video card ?
(for long time I cant view boss' aura because of my video card)

thx ciao

I also have the same problem, since the patch prior to the PVP Nightfall event actualy.

The overhead infos on outposts are all delayed and/or missing.

Its at least annoying and its getting to my nerves quite fast since its even harder to make a good PUG groups this way.

Later.

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

Same happens to me too. Hope arenanet fixes it soon, it is making it really hard to find the classes you want in AB.

I've been complaining about this since Anet broke it with the big interface update. Nobody seemed to care at the time - they were all more interested in moaning about the new colours, and me asking about this again and again got ignored.

It's LAG

And yes, I have the same problem.
Just sit there for 5 minutes or so, and the problem will correct itself. It's just a lag issue.

I don't think it's lag. It solves itself when you sit there for 5 minutes because people turn dark blue or get the class/level text above their head if they join a group or join the district WHILE you are in the district. People who don't alter their party stay light blue, no matter how long you are there.

The issue is when you join a district, it doesn't give people the dark blue if they are in a group, or the text above their head if they aren't. Anything that happens while you are in the district will be shown how it used to. Go to a very populated place like ToA and see how noticeable it is when you are trying to see who is in a group.
