Several Problems

Sorry about the bad title, but didn't know what to call this.
1. Several months ago, I posted something, and in hind sight, I may have not clearly said what this problem is. When you enter a delve, switch areas, etc., anything that makes a screen come up that stays there for a while, you get some information centered on the bottom of the screen. There will be a title, and then some info on the delve, area, etc. It will look like this.
Kuna's Delve
Kuna's delve was built in the second era, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. etc.
You get the idea. Now, a new (to me) delve, a new area, etc., I like to read what it says on the bottom. Get a little background, lore, etc. Then, after some time (which seems kind of long, but that's a different discussion), it changes. And this happens usually within 3-5 seconds after it first gets on the screen, and I know this because I'm a fast reader and can't even finish the first sentence. Now it looks like this:
Kuna's Delve
You can belong to five different guilds at the same time.
Blah, blah, blah blah.
And that is it for that issue.
2. Both my Templar/caster and Sorceress use destro lightining staffs, and this happens to both characters. I get in a fight with 4-5 enemies, and my minion is tanking for me (sorceress only), so each attack is heavy and lengthy. Finally, the fight is over, and I start going around to search the bodies, but I can't, because it doesn't give me the words so that I can search them. When I run my cursor over the bodies, nothing shows up on the screen. Then I try to put my staff on her back, but that doesn't work, either. Actually, when that happens, nothing works, except I can hit the right key to block something, and the left key to fire the staff, if there was an enemy left to kill, but that's it. I can't do anything else. I can't do anything with my cursor or character for some time, and that happens for approximately 10-20 seconds. If there's another fight nearby, I go do that, and then return to the first fight, and then I can search the bodies.

✭✭For the first one, I commented not long ago on a thread about just that problem. Unfortunately it was not noticed by any mods or admins.

✭I put a bug in about this, it is still listed as unsolved in my support account. This is sad because you can not understand the dungeon you are entering and how it connects to the story. I was hoping they would fix it fast because it is hurting the story line of the game. But like all bugs they take their good old time on it.
I really do not need to see a game tip for the hundredth time telling me I can join up to five guilds.“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.”

SilentRaven1972✭✭✭✭For your second issue, see if weapon swap will correct it. If not at lvl 15 yet, try removing then re-adding the weapon or a piece of armor.
As for the first, yeah, very annoying. I enjoy reading the lore, but it flashes so fast in most cases, I don't have a chance

I ran into another problem today, when I couldn't do a quest by getting close to a whisp and clicking on the E key to take it. It was as if the whisp wasn't there. The popup that tells you to use the E key didn't come up. I tried to take my sorceress destro staff from the position on her back, but that didn't work either. I hit the key to switch bars, and suddenly, with the resto staff in her hands, she could get every whisp she needed to complete the quest.
I have an additional problem with searching bodies after a long fight against multiple enemies, it won't let me. But, next time that happens, I'm going to switch staffs and see if that works on this problem.

Sixsixsix161✭✭✭Swapping bars/weapons only works now and then (rarely is more like it).
However, I think this issue is caused by lag. I was doing a quest in Coldharbour where in the end of the dungeon you have to turn on a group of crystals by clicking on them, which produces a beam going from one crystal to the next (till you get to the last one). After about the second crystal, I had to wait up to 6-8 seconds before the window came up again telling me I could click the crystal again. real annoying because some crystals you have to click 4 or 5 times.
So, is lag a possibility? It got worse in the past one-two weeks (could have been the patch causing it, I guess).
