Guild Wars 2

What about the Lagos? It’s missing from Magumma.

The Quaggan Saballa is also bugged. She is sitting in one spot not moving.

Quaggan Saballa is not bugged. If you give her “items” to jog her memory, she will eventually remember.

Unplayable event is unplayable. Please run this through next weekend, or run it again next weekend.-

As stated above this actually should be the thing your focusing on, I am glad my friends already have been playing or played GW2, and I didn’t invite any to this embarrassment. Do the right thing for your player base. I feel like this was a beta weekend event for stress test on servers!!

It would be a phenomenal step in the right direction to have the event happen again with all the same epic qualities, (minus the un-playability and broken events, npc’s) this next weekend to show you actually care and want new players and keep existing ones as well as trying to get back those who have rage quit.

1. you realize that it affected not just some of the players but all of your players.

2. It would also show that you care enough about your player base to do it right, as well as extending the invites to friends to a “try again” weekend. We need more players. I don’t think this was a good showing for the ones invited.

Amen.

As much as id hate to agree with it, I have to. Wasted a good amount of time today and it would suck for tomorrow to be the same.

I doubt it will be the same, i’ll bet there are a great many that are just not going to bother with this entire event after the disaster that was the launch event.

now Anet has to convince me they can run these events properly before i’ll go near another one, one time events are now no longer worth considering a valuble time investment.

I do hope the devs got some sleep though:)

As other players have said, “This really should’ve been an instance.” Yes, breaking it up into instances would have solved a lot of the overflow/lag problems. Hoping this gets fixed soon. I have a lot of respect for ArenaNet and would hate to see this event become a tarnished spot on their otherwise awesome reputation.

Continents.4013:

This. PLEASE, ANet, do this. I mean, if you don’t, then the first and possibly the most important act will be forever lost. With no doubt this would be the best solution.

P.S. it is daytime in Japan, not nighttime. At this rate, we’ll miss even more than stateside players :[

The problem probably is, ANet test these things among themselves, and that’s around a few hundred people. Everything goes smoothly, and they’re thrilled and can’t wait to unleash it upon the public.

Then they hype up the event, make sure as many people as possible can be online, and then when the time comes… Well, a few hundred thousand (who knows how many exactly) people fill up the servers, all go to one spot in the game, and then the servers can’t handle it.

When placed into perspective it’s not really a big surprise. ArenaNet should just have planned it better, because from what I heard across my server, the amount of lag didn’t affect “some” people, but nearly all of them. The only time it actually got better was when people started going offline.

Additional things I would change about this experience:
- My other party members did not get event completion medals for certain fights, even when I did and they were standing next to me participating.
- When you leave an area or travel to a new area, other party members end up in separate overflow servers from you. This is tremendously inconvenient when trying to participate as a group.

pls give us some updates ive been up for 23 hous 12 of them trying to do this “one time special event” ive been eating my nails waiting for some updates on the sittuation at least . at least give us somethig to keep us going some info or did we all just wasted 12 hours waiting for nothing

no dissrespect i appreciate what youare doing im loving the game but pls anything any info

One more bug to report. During the colossus stage in FOTM dungeon. I fell into abyss because of that darn skull blower thingy. So when my body respawned at the bottom. My party members cannot see my body. they said I was outside the map and unreachable. But on my screen, im on lowest floor near the colossus.

Stephane Lo Presti.7258:

lag that some players have been experiencing.

Lag that Some players experience. Like there is Some sand on the beach.

The event “Defeat Cannach to find out what he know” still bugged, he just standing in the event mark as an npc and wont change so we can attack him.

You have built a beautiful, dynamic world!

Why not be consistent and take your time developing and TESTING events. This current event shows shoddy work and planning. Players will be better at being patient for a working release than struggling through a premature broken one. The added content is great… but the frustration getting there… isn’t necessary… and unfortunately for everyone …lousy for PR.

Thank you for all the wonderful things you do right!

Confirmed. Apparently this cute this creature is in a “protect” event and she is not moving at all.

New build just launched.

Trying it out now will report back

Edit: JK Download stopping at 92%

Noll isn’t working, He spawns but no dialogue. P.S. On Ehm Bay

what about the ability to re-enter dungeon with your group after you kicked out or the game crash?

this is number 1 issue….

new patch downloading it now

bamono.7098:

Same here
EDIT:
The download just restarted from 92%
EDIT2: “Connection error(s) detected…. Retrying”

On Patch download….“Connection error(s) detected…. Retrying”

I feel for everyone here, for the players who don’t have time to do these events today. For all the people getting lag through the event (everyone to my knowledge). Also for ArenaNet, why? Because they are really pushing this type of stale game into uncharted waters, I mean a real time combat event in a player hub…. That’s very ambitious and then some.

Sure it was painful seeing lag maul what could have been an epic event, but I am willing to give ArenaNet far more room to move on this one. Has anyone been in the fractals yet? I’ve never seen a dungeon like it, it’s amazing.

I think MMO gamers are the hardest crowd to please on the planet, no to mention the apathy happy younger gamers. I’m sure AN are working furiously hard to get this right so instead of camping this forum why don’t we go and enjoy the games other billion things to do and as soon as the fixes are put in come back.

Yeah I agree it should have been working first time but don’t forget this is the second huge content pack we’ve had in two months! For a free to play MMO it’s just insane.

everyone trying to download the hotfix at once.. slow going..

- When you leave an area or travel to a new area, other party members end up in separate overflow servers from you. This is tremendously inconvenient when trying to participate as a group.

You can right-click on a person’s name in party chat and choose “join in xxx zone” and you will be transported to their overflow.

As for the not getting credit, that’s been happening as the mobs die quickly from massive aoe damage from people participating. You just have to try again, for now.

Canach still bugged on Blackgate.

xVOLTRON.7826:

Canach still bugged on Blackgate.

Same here, he is spawned but when i talk to him he’s show as a green target.

Noll has appeared post-patch, but he’s stuck in his just-been-beatdown state – the event doesn’t seem to be resetting.

I share the sentiments that whilst an awesome game, the frustration at these events. A great idea in principle, but Halloween showed the problems around it, none of which seem to have been addressed. The problem, is it’s difficult to recommend the game when so much is broken and new content is coming in broken. The game is only 3 months old, no one is going to be mad at you guys for delaying content to fix other content first.

Love the game, not going to stop playing, but I second the requests for a repeat of this weekend

Confirm Canach working on Blackgate. It’s on a timer.

adragon.1234:

Can confirm this. Originally thought it was bugged. It’s on a timer. Stick it out for 5min or so and it works.

Thanks ANet for the fix!

Noll fired off once on Maguuma however nobody has said they got credit for it. Hasn’t activated again.

same on desolation. now he just stands there and does nothing.

Also happened on Sorrow’s Furnace

Noll is not talkable on Blackgate, he spawned we all attacked but now no one can talk to him, been about 10min and he’s just standing there

Blacktide Server

Noll appeared, event started, counted us done, but none of us got mail/credit for it , neither we can talk to him to continue to next phase.

Still broken. Event has popped twice and people are getting credit but the mobs die instantly of course and you can’t talk to Noll afterwards.

What happened to events scaling? There are like 50 people standing here, yet the mobs have 10 hp and die immediately…some have posited that they die so fast that the game can’t trigger the next part of Noll’s script. This is ludicrous.

Canach is attackable on Maguuma but does not give a post quest update or mail.

You fixed Blingg? THANK YOU!. No more nightmares from constant Citizens!

Fixed doesn’t always mean fixed in any mmo. It just means an attempt was made :p

It’s like you didn’t even read the post. It says pretty clearly that the Noll fix isn’t live yet and won’t be until tomorrow.

So people broke your fix within minutes, on Blacktide for example, Noll just indefinitely lays on the ground spouting greets to a group of on-lookers.

It is live, that is if you can call it a fix.

Noll worked a grand total of 1 time, got no credit because the 1982 people spaming AOE kitten killed the guards to fast, now Noll is bugged once again and you cant talk to him at all.

at least we can see him now thats an improvement :rolleyes:

On stormbluff Isle

Can I suggest that things like Noll and Canach be made instanced events in the future (similar to the personal story?) The issue seems to be based on not resetting properly – instancing them should fix that, and the events don’t seem to be ones that really benefit from being in the open world.

draxynnic.3719:

Yep same here

Theres a bug in Spvp and Tpvp people keep getting stuck at the loading screen i know this bug has happened before i hope you guys can fix it soon thanks in advance.

Noll is broken on Seafarer’s Rest as well. I suggest you start doing PTR thing before releasing new content updates.

rofl. Did someone also break your English comprehension? They said pretty plainly that Noll is not fixed yet.

Fahd al’Eshadhi event is still bugged on Crystal Desert. His event started, but at the end, after fighting him, he just gets stuck on how he needs to collect himself. No item given out.

That is 2 a.m. Japanese Tokyo time. How are we supposed to complete this?!? Bad form.
