We are temporarily shutting down servers
any estimated time to fix it? still cannot login.
Just a suggestion, next time refer to it as emergency maintenance, rather then just unscheduled. The way you had it phrased had people on Twitter going berserk.
Any ETA? Even a ballpark?
I just got word from support, since I didn’t know what was going on.
But it was a very quick reply, which I am very appreciative of and now I know what is going on.
Just wish they did put out a server wide message, as I never saw one myself. Just got booted.
Thanks for the info. nice to be informed. Though if i did get any items i probably sold them for Chocolate already
I fixed it by selling the affected junk
This is actually really appreciated. Thanks for the heads up and personally I wouldnt mind the servers getting shut down for maintenance once a week or something. Might help with the serious lag issues in wvw.
lol I was so certain that something went wrong on my end, I didn’t even think to look here until after I submitted a ticket.
I’ve only been in the game a few months, but this is the first time I’ve run into a full-blown stoppage. Kudos to you for that, ANet team! Granted, my previous mmo experience set the bar really low, but I still appreciate the virtually ceaseless uptime I’ve had on this game since I installed it.
Guild Wars 2 has given me a really good experience for the year I’ve played, I’ve rarely seen it go down and I appreciate how subtle each patch is implemented. It isn’t everyday you see an mmo that says “A new build is available in 10 minutes” followed by “A new build is available, your game will restart in 2 hours.”
And here is me trying to type password for 10 mins..
Adding my kudos for the communication update. Things happen – and when the community is empowered with information, we can easily deal with it. When something goes awry and we get treated like mushrooms (kept in the dark and fed fertilizer), then we’re more likely to get miffed. Big change from the past! No worries.
Actually, if this can help, I noticed that you can still wear the soulbound tagged items from the hero panel. It’s just the tag that appears, and you can’t wear them from the inventory, but it works just fine on the equip panel.
I don’t know why that much trouble. Is easy as rollback before the patch.
Thanks for letting us know MB
Ty for good communication!
And here is me trying to type password for 10 mins..
You weren’t the only one…only I took it a step further and reset my password, restarted my PC & restarted my client…finally decided to get in touch with support and found out about this server maintenance.

That’s kind of like saying after a building was built and finding out that all the light bulbs were the wrong wattage that you tear it down and start all over again.
While you’re in there could we get a new backpack added to the patch?
We already have Charr and Quaggan backpack skins, how about a skinned Asura?
>:>
So in essence what you are saying is that “If I am into one game mode, like World v World, that I am realllllly into PVE”?
Tyriaaaaaa!
Hang in there, Tyria!
Oh, and while you’re at it, I have a very good friend who can give your entire code a good shake to clean out all those bugs.
And, thank you, Mr O’Brien. Stay in good health.

So what should I do?
Go outside for awhile?
This is dangerous, and should not be attempted until you’ve consulted with your primary care physician.
I recommend playing something on your console until this issue has been resolved.

Nothing is easy!

I’d also like to add my thanks for the info, guess I’ll go and watch the footie and just try log in every now and then.
yes I have a soul bound item on a character(thief) that is not a revenent. that is the armor piece that you made soulbound at the place of making them account bound when hot was realease. that is why it as been stuck there for along while now. since you got those armor piece after doing some requisite in game.
as for putting stuff in storage soul bound to other character it could be trinket or trophy that are sometime needed to do some event. when people do not have enough space on the character they use the bank storage to hold it in.
any idea when you are going to fix what this patch error as done?
so when can go and enjoy the game.

Nah, why bother doing that, when you can just stare at this screen for hours and press F5 every few seconds?
Wow. And I was just telling someone how it’s so cool that GW2 is never offline, even when they update it. I feel like I jinxed it.
Thanks for acting promptly to fix the problem and letting us know. I hope everyone gets all their stuff back on the right characters!

Maybe it is just me, but didn’t they say the quality of the content in Season 3 would increase? I know that bugs happen, but with the desync issue and now this, there seems to be a lot more serious bugs occurring in the live environment since the Season 3 launch
What is a console? Is that some unreleased Asuran wizardry?

I’ve suffered tremendous mental anguish over this as I was in mid glide, I humbly ask you remove asuras from the game and mail me some phat lewtz to compensate. Thanks for the update.
I look forward to your tales of travel as you run across every map in the game to get where you want to go. Removing Asura (and all the tech that they maintain, so every form of fast travel except teleport to friend) would also remove the gates they created and the waypoints they maintain.
Living World season 4: Eradication of the Asura Menace, of DOOM!
All asura players receive a free race-change token, and asura become PvPable in all zones, including cities. Events to destroy Asura Gates, replacing them with Pact Choppers, as well as re-programming waypoints to their original, untamp0ered, configuration where you could not fast-travel to them but you respawn at the closest one, without being charged cash by the greedy asura corporations…. Implementation of what a players desire: mounts. The razing of Rata Sum, discovering the terrible truth in the process: The Elder Dragon Golem sleeping deep below the surface, awaiting the defeat of the other EDs so that the asura can subjugate all the ‘lesser’ species in their weakened state. (That’s actually true, asura view all the races that are larger then them as inferior. Also true, at least at one point in time, they did plan to subjugate everyone, not all of them felt that way, I think?)
Sorry I HAD to…couldn’t resist the temptation anymore XD
That’s cool. Just send me a legendary sword and we’ll call it even.
oh hey… seriously while you’re at it, since the wvw goodies are account wide now you should also make the gear that we buy from the wvw vendors account bound instead of soulbound. Matter of fact all gear should be account bound. I really don’t understand the purpose of making armor and weapons soulbound.
“mail me some phat lewtz to compensate”
I do not think anyone deserves phat loot except Phatt.
It kicked me out right when I chose “Spit” on some gravestone in Frostgorge Sound. Thought it was my fault :P
Especially since when I tried to login back again, my character suddenly dropped from 82% map completion to 0%, but that was probably just because the server was already not responding sanely anymore.
Hm… I hope the solution includes some mystic forge recipe or consumable to make soulbound gear exotikittenil it’s equipped again.
Even if it has a cost, I have a few characters that I wish to treade gear between them, like making my sylvari ranger the one with the condition gear and the norn the berserker one.
my plan for the night ruined ;(((((
hope we’re back online soon!
What’s the ETA on this fix
The downtime is killing me
HAHA!
Anyone remember this from 9 years ago?

Well, while you are at it, might aswell get rid of the trading post as well, considering it will be rendered mostly useless since you cant sell your account bound goodies on there anymore.
No ANet. You can’t make me go outside. You’re not my real dad!
[Presses log on button again. and again. and again]
Darn it. >.>
ANet may give it to you.
I feel like bad luck Brian. Finally decided to shell out and upgrade my account.
So many impatient people around here …
kinda at a loss here….i havent logged out in 19,768 hours…..maybe i could go change my catheter now?
wait….i still have gw1 installed…….ill survive this!!!
Does this mean if it isn’t up soon I miss my daily?
Give me Nevermore and we’ll call it even.

I would like to correct that to just kill Phlunt after Taimi will have enough fun from mocking him
Also it’s good the team have reacted quickly, hope we will be able to get back to the game soon
Take your time with the fix, I will send few PK-632Z Golems to help with it
Oh and maybe I will blame the whole bug on Councillor Haia if I will have some luck…
Sorry I HAD to…couldn’t resist the temptation anymore XD
haha, nice.
This is what I was thinking:
….wow I feel old now.
