Guild Wars 2

The event happens live for both US and EU servers. Causes major problems on EU first with the cut scene not working. Then lead to major crash issues.

Then it spreads to US causing Dungeon re-entering issues. Then after people had completed the dungeon, the Mad King appeared again randomly without the cut scene.

People are upset due, trading post crashes, then guild crashes, then friend list crash, then PvP crashes.

Then later on a majority of people are getting booted off line. Log-in server issues. Then forums crash.

I am surprised Tweeter responses didn’t crash.

I mean seriously, this is the result of superb bad programming.

We will never … forget this.

Can’t wait for Christmas event.

OH THE DRAMA…

You people crack me up.

True, I will probably remember this until the next christmas event, but I am lucky I have the ability to shrug it off and move on.

How’s the blood pressure doing?

Glad you found it funny when people’s guilds were missing or contact list was crashing.

Its people like you that are suckers. You have no idea… how badly this hurts Arenanet now and I don’t expect a customer to know, program wise or business wise with reputation at hand, know to the full extent how much damage was done.

To you, “Oh… Arenanet will fix it.” To others, “Is this how limit Arenanet’s programing can do?”

Guess you have never played any other mmo, because so far gw2 has crushed almost all of them with server stability for release of the game and release of the first few major holiday events.

Ya the cut-scene didn’t work for me either, never saw the mad king come out. Oh well kitten happens!

Here is the non-buggy version if you missed it.

A million times, this.

I really can’t believe people allow themselves to get so worked up over a game. It truly is not worth the blood pressure rise, nor the self-induced stress. Life is not perfect.

Go have a drink / nap / etc.

I never got worked up at all, if anything I was mocking Arenanet.

They keep making claims and promises about certain things about their game and at random situations like this it blows up in their face.

A good example is Final Fantasy Online MMO. Remember all the claims that company made for their game to be unique?

Its like day sha voo all over again.
