yes.

You will prob only lose it if you raided after they laid the patch down into the game.

Wish I had your life then, bro…

I wish we could trade, life is very boring as a millionaire

If you are a millionaire and bored then you are doing something wrong. Just because you don’t have to work doesn’t mean you can’t find a job you enjoy. And it certainly means you can afford to go out and take trips around the world and do whatever you feel like (within reason of course). Seriously, no matter how much or how little money you have, if this is the worst thing that has happened to you then you have a kittening awesome life.

my mistake

It costs 1k Magnetite shard and 20 gold ! It really sucks for a new player 8D

Well RIP most of my dailies… At least I did home instance gather last night…

Game’s been down for way too long. I think at this point some sort of compensation for both the losses in progress and the very long downtime would be right. Even something small.

And this is why daily tasks are bad…. Anet… please… make them into weeklies :/

We dont pay any monthly subs, so I dont think any kind of compensation is needed, just because you missed your daily. Please stop being so entitled and greedy, it’s redicilous.

That is true. However, PR wise it would be bad to let too much time go by without giving something in return to players.

I don’t think we’ve crossed that time point yet, however.

Fixed it up for you

Looks good right?

no. legendary is a rarity, not a type.
also, no. just… NO.
you butchered it ;_;

We will all get outfits that are natty jeans with an ‘I survived the 2016 rollback’ tee right?

[Well, in 2017 so there is time to make sure there is not a worse one.]

Thanks for letting me know. I’ll fix that line to include “rarity” instead.

I think I did ok for my first time writing code!

Btw, If I accidentally access the gw2 matrix I’ll bring you along.

Hmm, looks like I’ll be playing something else tonight, just in case.

I decided to go and play some GW1, level my dervish a bit.

I can’t even get into GW1. This bug must’ve ruptured the space time continuum of the entire Guild Wars universe!

I feel pity for all the precursors looted.

This is turning into a thing.

I agree. If the servers are down for another yet, just send up 10AP and 2g, and we’ll call it “good”.

Edit, actually, if you could hook us up with WvW/PvP reward track boosts, and Tomes of Knowledge, that would be awesome. Just the amount we would have recieved, had we been playing.

But how does ANet differentiate between those who did their daily before the rollback and those that didn’t? It would be easy to tell those who did before the patch and those who didn’t.

If they do stay down until too close to reset time tomorrow, then one could argue for giving players a free daily. But not for today. Especially considering today is patch day. Players should not expect every patch day to go smoothly and should plan accordingly. It would also be different if today was not a regularly scheduled patch day.

Screw Dry Top and the daily event- and map-locked Quartz Farm. The loss of that kitten charged crystal is what irritates me about this.

nooooo, my tangled depths hero points T_T

That was a joke about people who expect things because the server is down for a few
hours, based on the conversation where the guy wanted stuff and I answered him.

This was definitely the one time in almost 2 years that I would have done my daily

Anymore update about the rollback??

Thank God I’m a light playing noob and didn’t score and legendary items or something ;3

Wish the servers come back up soon. Got nothing else to do but… prepare… for… my… exams (sob)

adriannpeak.3562:

Wondering the same. I had completed 4 maps yesterday before the patch.. few hrs later patch came out.. so hoping I didn’t lose that progress.

I have been advocating that Anet needs a thumbs up with the shut down & fix … no one needs any kind of compensation..
What bothers me tho, is to think that they aren’t just rolling back.. they are rolling back and trying to fix the patch that caused the problem in order to get the skins back up in the gemstore.
I know that its thier way of revenue (and fine with that) but let us play while you fix.
I will never know the answers I seek

Finally~
i couldn’t log in to even reply earlier TnT

Tell you what, should you be so inclined, I’ll happily take one of those Guild Wars 2 baseball cap skins (and maybe the t-shirt skin if you’re feeling exceptionally generous) and call it — not just good, but awesome. I’m a little disappointed about not being able to raid tonight but I would rather have my favorite game back in solid working order tomorrow than have more issues with it tonight.

Thank you for all your hard work; especially when things go sideways. And thank you for keeping us in the loop.

Kinda surprised there are not more ‘OMG my precursor!’ replies. As that’d really be something if someone finally got a pre drop and then rollback, lol.

Might not be to much longer. Gw1 is back up.

Well all I got to loose is about 50 weaponsmith lvls

I think we can stop worrying about a loss of dailies, and prepare ourselves for more serious consequences.

There may not be anything to roll-back to…

OMG ..I have to re-do all W1, W2, W3 raids

kitten , I thought the servers were back since now we can log in here

Please don’t take my PiPs…

I’m good – I slept through the patch.

Game Workers fighting~!

Players should not expect every patch day to go smoothly and should plan accordingly. It would also be different if today was not a regularly scheduled patch day.

I at least partially disagree. I think it is 100% reasonable to expect a fully playable, bug-free game immediately following a patch.

Yes, MMO’s have a history of iffy bug-filled if not game-breaking patches.

ANet is selling a product (or, depending on how you look at it, providing paid support for a product), whether you’re F2P or not.

As such, as a paying customer (let’s not argue semantics on “paying” here, I know it’s not sub based) it is our right as a consumer to expect a fully functioning product (in this case, perfection). Maybe not demand it, that goes a bit far. Now normally, the result of a defective product is the company repairs or replaces it in a timely manner at no charge. Well, that doesn’t really work with an MMO, since you can’t simply return anything. Which leads to a precedent that goes as far back as at least EQ1: Compensation.

Pretty much every online-component game that either ate items or was down for a significant amount of time has provided some form of compensation for that.
-In EQ1, when a bug ate a player corpse (fell through the world, you had to recover your items off your dead body with your new body), the game masters would restore your items and usually all of the lost exp (you lost a significant amount of experience when you died). And depending on how long it took them to do it, sometimes threw you a “we’re sorry” novelty/trinket item (I kept getting stacks of beer). I don’t know exactly how they did it, but they were able to maintain logs of every item you had and even which slot it was equipped/stored in.
-In WoW, if the servers were down more than 24 hours your account was credited a prorated amount generally equal to total downtime plus 10%, because it was subscription based. If it was down between 8 and 23.9 hours but went down due to a game-breaking bug/glitch, they usually comped you a full day anyway but didn’t really have to, as a form of “we screwed up, sorry”. Can’t have customers paying for a product they can’t use.

Well, I couldn’t login on the forums after the server crashed, but yeah, I most probably lost a precursor as I definitely looted it after the patch. Anyway, it wasn’t anything I needed, but yeah, let’s say I lost a lot of gold (that is… for me, as a new player :P). That and almost two hours worth of crafting mats farming… but hey, I’m probably not alone in that situation!

I’m kittened, I’m not gonna say otherwise, but there is nothing we can do, really.

Good lord, I’ve been watching this thread since it started and only now have I been able to log in to reply.

As for the comments about GW1 down, I was on it all day-ish, so it definitely wasn’t completely connected.

I’ve played since launch and never got precursors till recently. 3 in 2 months or so. If they roll back a week I’ll lose 1. Hopefully they just roll back a few hours. Anyway, something good will come of it. There will be a silver lining somewhere. Actually, that would be a nice glider… the Silver Lining Glider.

Actually you can fill out a support ticket. It’s likely they will replace it as I’m sure they kept the logs

Everyone here is so knowledgeable on computers and games… Teach meh (%)o(%)

update on new thread https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Rollback-details/first#post6300657

sigh I know what I desire ANet to give me, a game to play in the next five minutes, then I would forgive all.

Everyone tis just a bit frustrated, and they have a right to be. Blowing off steam here is fine in my book, we are keeping it civil after all, much more so then many other game’s players I’ve seen. Don’t get me started on WoW flame wars over inane things….

By the way, not surprised GW1 is down, they did state they would take down the website at some point too during this process. And Gaile, don’t discount a rupture in the space-time continuum, me and my brother notice them all of the time here in Seattle with the buses: OneBusAway says one just passed us three minutes ago an the next is 27 minutes away only to have one arrive in 3 minutes, telling you, a tear in the fabric of spacetime is the only explanation!

Don’t suppose you would make us love you like in the days of GW1 by giving us a very rough ETA? Purrty pwease? You were always my heroine! Especially after signing me Nightfall box with a gold paw print! =D

Oh yea, I demand a huggle from both Gaile and Gwen after this, as recompense. ^.-

I am disappointed in the lack of understanding.
I am sure ‘they’ did not intent for this to happen and are working their kitten off to fix this.
I’ve been playing since GW1 and it’s not like this is a regular issue.

I send a hug to all the people who are trying to solve the issue.

Mike O Brien.4613:

This is an update to the situation where soulbound items have been incorrectly soulbound to the wrong characters. After further investigation we’ve determined that there is damage to almost all character records that were played this morning, not just to those who transferred soulbound items to or from a bank. To repair the damage, we will have to roll back the state of the game and characters to prior to this morning’s release.

I think this is bullcrap, Mike.

Will we have any sort of compensation?
