This is my first time even being on these forums since the beta days. So if there is a topic about this already, forgive me.
I have been experiencing this bug whenever I get into a large Meta Event (Killing Dragon Champions was where I first experienced it), basically, after about two or three minutes into the fight, my sound goes haywire and I start getting this ear-blowing, alarm sound (best way to describe it) that gets extremely loud and then goes quiet, and repeats, until I restart the game. That wasn’t really that big a deal for me because I would just turn sound off in the game and play my own music anyhow. Not until recently when I started assaulting the God Temples would this happen and actually cause the game to completely freeze. No way to close out of it but Ctrl + Alt + Delete. The only reason I am here right now talking about this is because it broke the last straw when I was in the middle of assault a temple about 25% health left of on Risen Priest of Balthazar and it froze the game. I logged back in quickitteno try and get some damage output so I could get some kind of reward for the work I was putting in and I couldn’t do anything.
The last thing I want to talk about is this whole “not drawing enemies” thing. I know some people are experiencing this as I have asked while in large groups. Basically, you get enough people together and the game doesn’t want to draw enemies anymore. So if you have no AoE skills to spam, you’re playing the guessing game at where enemies are and swinging a sword at nothing until you see some damage pop up, and by that time, you can’t do enough damage to even tag your enemy and pray for a drop. I know it’s not my computer being slow as I have a steady 30-35 FPS during a buttload of AoE particle effects on my screen and a solid 50-60 when there’s nothing happening on screen.
These two problems are literally making the events unplayable in Orr. If you’re having either of these problems, please post something so I know I’m not alone. If anyone has any solutions, I would be extremely happy to hear them.

I love Arena Net and this is the first problem I have had with them in those 7 years of playing their games. If you have any questions of me, feel free to ask.)
