Guild Wars 2

After working on map completion for an area, I logged out to character select but was given some connection error.
I didn’t think anything more of it and went off to do some other stuff.

Now I come back and log in to find a good 30+ minutes of progress down the drain. At least two hearts, one or two skillpoints, a vista and a few POIs that I completed, all reset.

Oh and of course, the TP is down AGAIN.

When will this game be fit for release? We were told Guild Wars 2 would be released when it was finished, well this obviously wasn’t the case because nearly every day I find a new bug.

Anyone else had this happen?

I can deal with a lot of bugs and stuff, and I love the game and generally have few complaints. But this is not okay.

GO GW2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rolled back. I haven’t seen this in a game in a while or at least while I was on and actually noticed the lost progress.

not cool……
/15 char

I just went from 78 to 77. This is bullkitten.

Yikes, I guess I dodged a bullet.

So maybe I was lucky that I couldn’t lock during that time…

It appears if you disconnected while the login servers were having issues, any progress you made in that zone since you waypointed or zonned in is lost.

Yea, I just lost 30 minutes of play time and a ton of POI’s. I was so flustered I had to put the game down.

same here, i can’t play it anymore, at least not right now !!!

Lost more than 1 hour of progress, items, money, etc

Not funny !

the real aggravating issue is that only a small portion of us got rolled back, a lot of players did not, i for one lost a good amount of progression and over 2g…

Typical fanboys in map chat justifying the crash, yet choose to be ignorant that the recent crash was a roll back.

I take it roll backs are a common thing in mmorpgs?

I lost ALL of my progress through TA SM, which I just finished as I got kicked. Loot, XP and all. But the best part? The game still managed to remember the loads of silver I used up repairing my armour -_-

what is funny is that it seems, at least for me, that the game looks more buggy than BWE2 :-P

If you’re this upset over 30 minutes of progress being lost in a computer game then you need to step back and take a real hard look at your priorities.

30 minutes of game time is a lot for some folks. Part of the allure and promise of GW2 was the ability to log in for 30 mins and accomplish something unlike other mmo’s. If this becomes commonplace there will be an issue, but the game is still new.

They should, however, post on the login screen that a rollback occurred and take some of the shock away.

They happen from time to time, only when it’s completely necessary.

Honestly, at this point I’m less upset about about the “lost hour” of progress than the official response (on Twitter, no less) of “Due to the nature of the outage, we will be unable to restore any progression or items. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience .” ^MK

Seriously? Are any steps being taken to ensure this doesn’t happen again? Quite frankly I don’t really feel like playing again until I at least know what happened and have some sort of official statement towards a repeat of this incident not occurring in the future.

If compensation cannot be forthcoming (and enjoy the fallout on that, btw), then at least do the professional thing and address this issue in an official channel (not Twitter).

I was wondering when some twit was going to post this obnoxious comment (no, I was not baiting it, but after I posted my thread, I just knew someone would say it).

Sure, so far it’s only happened once and it was only around 30 minutes (probably closer to an hour when I think about it).
But now that it’s happened, what’s to say it won’t happen again and more than 30-60 minutes is lost when it does.

This is not cool. Any official word about this?

Wait… Wait… They choose to make comment on their Twitter page, but not on their OFFICIAL forums? Amazing…

Don’t spoze anything about the disappearance of money from the TP has been said on Twitter?

Yeah Anet love Twitter a bit too much i think. lol

I have NEVER had this happen in any other game I’ve played (WoW, AoC, Eve, Aion, Rift, LoTRO, FFXIV) and so far this has happened twice to me in GW2. Their official response via Twitter is rather lame.

Sorry guys, 30 mins is nothing. This really is a first world problem of epic proportions. Deal with it, move on, complaining isn’t going to fix it. Bugs happens, roll with it.

Also it happened a number of times in XIV, people lost 10-15 levels of crafting every day for 4 days due to a patching error. My armorsmithing suffered every time, so please don’t rose tint an issue.

Also Aion had massive character corruption causing loss of entire characters to some players.

Letting a company know when you are dissatisfied with part of their product is an effective means of getting them to fix it. Just because other players have higher standards than you, doesn’t mean it’s wrong to speak up.

OP shared his experience which is 30 minutes but there are other players who are reporting up to 5 to 6 hours of progression lost.

People aren’t generally complaining to alert developers, they are complaining to have their 30 minutes recovered. Don’t give people that much credit please.

Either way, they are both legitimate reasons to speak up. If you personally don’t care, then why are you even posting in this thread, other than to tell people to stop posting in this thread?

Didn’t take long for me to re-do what was reset…

To supply my opinion in a discussion thread. Feedback is fine, but expecting your 30 minutes back is as you well know, silly.

I am as much entitled to my opinion here as you are. be respectful enough to understand that please.

So this is your example of being respectful:

Demeaning the opinions of others is, well, rather disrespectful. Take your own advice then.

Respect begets respect. Your first post wasn’t respectful to begin with.

Pointing out mistakes in grammar and direction in someones post shows you have no other point. I win the thread! All hail me!

What the hell are you talking about bro? i really hate fanboys like you. All you do is derail topic with your dribble.

Can we get back to the issue at hand?

I too lost some progress yesterday and I immediately recognized there was a rollback. Something serious went down with their authentication last night… errors with gems… something’s amiss this week and it’s pretty serious because it keeps taking down the TP… think financials database or something eerily similar.

Give it time.

I agree with this guy. Spot on. Issue is known, nothing we can do, we know we won’t get the progress back as the servers simply didn’t record it.

Also, now we are onto calling me a fanboy? Could you be anymore of a disgruntled forum troll Mickey?

You calling me a troll? do you know what irony means? good job i guess, you successfully derailed this topic. Now you will jump to next topic to flame those who have complaints. Rinse and repeat.

Oh wait you already did that…

Much like you are perpetuating? If you weren’t trying to troll, you wouldn’t be engaging me in my accused trolling. you would be continuing with the thread discussion.

Nope, instead you point out pointless and irrelevant points, derailing the thread and then trying to make it look like I did it. I am sad for you.

We were discussing the issue till you brought your high and mighty behind in here and starting flaming OP by being condescending and obnoxious.

Learn to see past your own nose maybe you will realise you are really not all that. Now shoo away and stop wasting more of this thread.

This topic is about OP and his problems not about how awesome you are and how much your priorities are in order.

But thanks for pointing it out. I am indeed awesome and have my life on track.

Also, why still perpetuate a battle you lost for?

Hello,

As this discussion is going out of hand, it is now locked.

Thank you.
