Guild Wars 2

‘It also has nothing to do with what profession stomped you :P’
Nice to see you trivialising things, like it’s not a major issue.. eh just a little annoyance that happens .. oh I dunno.. maybe once every map. Not that big a deal :P
Internal testing? I’d be doing some internal staff resourcing if it takes almost two weeks to fix such an infuriating bug.. but that’s just how I run my business and strangely I have a loyal client base.

@Syeria You insist on trolling almost every post of grievance on this forum.
How about not making sensationalist claims like ‘…But another potentially larger group of players have never had it occur, ever’ How can you possibly in any way prove this statement? I can 100% prove to you that every member of my guild suffer this problem frequently, both in Spvp and elsewhere. Perhaps we are just incredibly unfortunate and in the ‘minority’ group that do have had it occur, ever.

I can 100% prove to you that extremely few (if any) members of my guild have ever had map stuck occur to them. Maybe you should look up words like “troll” and “sensationalist” before trying to use them though. There’s nothing sensationalist about pointing out that many people (which is absolutely provable) have never had an issue with this. Furthermore, a large number of people have successfully resolved the issue by repairing their client. If anything is sensationalist, it’s the attempt to paint this issue as something that affects everyone as it’s painfully clear that’s not the case.

Who’s trivializing anything? There was an entire thread dedicated to the claim that being killed by a thief caused map stuck. As ridiculous as that claim was, Evan was gracious enough to point out that claim is false.

yeah, need fix fast, get me stucked almost every tournament

Well Double, apparently it’s only a minority of us that are experiencing it. Some entire Guilds are even immune to it! So it must be something we are doig wrong?
Perhaps we are even inventing this whole issue to feed **s-lickers on a forum who have nothing better to do than belittle other paying customers in some contrite and arrogant attempt to gain friends.

@Syeria
‘As ridiculous as that claim was, Evan was gracious enough to point out that claim is false.’
Firstly; The suggestion was not ridiculous, it was an attempt at debugging the issue and narrowing it down in order to assist the dev team.
Secondly; I’m sure Evan is a paid employee of Arenanet so it is his job to inform us.
Thirdly; I may be incorrect, but you are possibly not an employee of Arenanet so your attempts to challenge the views of several hundred players are neither helpful nor particularly welcome.

It may be false, but if it happened to alot of people that way it might have been a coincidence but still would need to be looked at to at the very least stalk it off a list of possible reasons behind the issue

I like tapsteve’s comments… but i have to remind everyoen they already got your money so they dont need your loyalty. Nor do they need to staff competence apparently because this is so dramatic and they say themselves effects the whole game.

https://forum-fr.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Le-bug-chargement-est-li-a/first#post97083

https://forum-fr.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Le-bug-chargement-est-li-a/first#post97083

100% bug map-stuck i have is because a thief dammage me before the death

I always thought they were just rage quitting.

Its probably just sheer odds that thieves are doing the owning and people get emotionaly attached to it. ha.

i had the bug many times without playing against thieves.. so i dont agree with your opinion.

you didn ’probably not paying attention, but there was necessarily a thief just before you enter.

it is impossible to have the bug where no thief.

Just completed the client repair, and still got map stuck a few games after, so it’s not a fix that’s going to solve the issue for everyone. I really am curious why this has come back, though, and how the problem is different than it was last time if Anet is still gathering data and testing fixes. You’d think that identical bugs would have identical causes and solutions, but I guess coding is weird like that. =/

Yeap, the client repair only solves a selected amount of players. I’ve also noticed that I have to play after the repair is done, using the ‘same client’. If I restart my client, I’ll experience a rare loading screen bug too. Semprenaviguare, I think it’s enough of you claiming that the bug only happens when thieves damage/stomp you? Perhaps maybe for your case only. Lets just hope that the fix will come soon, so that it’ll solve this whole mess and let everyone go back to PvPing! At Tapsteve, this loading screen bug does not affect everyone, as I know of friends who do not experience it at all while PvP’ing. The number it affects still looks to be quite a number though. Oh wells, lets just hope for the fix to arrive soon!

Same, just got another Loading screen stuck, after a thief fast stomp.

I can confirm that my group ran into 2 thieves yesterday in free tournies that were exploiting this bug to its fullest. They more or less did nothing but stealth-stomp. Somehow 100% of their stealth-stomps gave my team loadscreen bugs.

A few thief friends of mine tested this afterwards in hot-join but the bug didn’t persist there or the thieves from the tourny must have been doing something differently.

This bugs is killing what little tourny play that still remains.

Maybe its a combo of Stealth Stomp and an ability?

if somebody find the mecanic who can make loading screen with thief , please no post on forum , just report how this mecanic is possible on support .
i not want see a maximum thief reproduct this bug 100% time .

CnD+stomp is what is used for weeks…

And again same thing.

50% of the time, I can’t finish a match.. This has been going on for a long time now.

They added daily pvp goals, then put a bug in the game where you have to play double the amount to hopefully get it done.

We passed another week and there was nothing done to fix this. Very little (has there been any) communication regarding eta or work around for this bug.

Lost 2 tournaments in a row because of loading bug, 3 of my team( me included) had the bug during the 3th map and lost the match from 330-410 for us to 500-480 for them…very stupid

Strangely this is happening to me almost exclusively on thief deaths. That’s not a joke or attempt at humour. I’ve been monitoring the issue this evening and it has only happened 3 or 4 times as opposed to the 10+ some days and it has been after thief death each time.
I think Anet have stopped reading our forum posts unless it is to give them praise on thier amazing work creating PVE content or to enquire about Ascended gear.
I have decided that if it’s not fixed by the weekend I give up on the game altogether.

Just started playing and twice on two maps… gonna make an effort to post every time. But then with that commitment id lose even more of my free time doing something other than playing.

I play alot but find it interesting to ponder the loss of glory as well as time.

Just happened again… less than 30 minutes… 480 points in the match no glory earned.

Not to provoke the conversation but after death to 2 thieves hahaha

and again look its been 3 minutes new record.

It is HORRIBLE…

They give us the daily stuff to do and 1/ 3 of the games it locks up..

Then they post stuff about this being an Esport??

Please…

I can’t decide if it’s some kind of a joke now… lets hope the ‘internal testing’ is working out for them.
I honestly had nothing but admiration for this game until recently. Now I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone in it’s current state.

so much hate for this game at the moment. the bug could happen in one of those me+duo backstab thiefs, random person and MR. Hey, first time trying this class out vs. well balanced guild team that roflstomps us in the tournament. No, instead it happens when the roles are reversed and its me +well rounded guild team vs. team backstab thieves.
It happend to me once yesterday and around 5x just today.
Seriously, did i pay to play “guildwars 2 beta phase 5” or what?

and again… i think maybe they are just trying to be like the most interesting man from dos equis. See if this meme resonates with you :

http://x.co/q3xp

twice today..i cant believe that group of people in arenanet cant fix this.. looks like you guys hired wrong people. I mean come on this is a problem for a almost 2 moths now. and what is your excuse now?

Today I played pvp for 4-5 hours, got around 12 loading map bugs. Thats enough for me, until this bugged is fixed I will take a break, is really annoying to see you are in top and you almost won the match and you get that bug.

Thief + Quickness + Stomp =

Endless loading screen.

Monday according to Jonathan ‘soon is 8 years’ Sharp

Been playing with 3 guildies all morning. We have all had it at least once, the map doesn’t make a difference either.

Happen too me alot, tho didnt read this thread before so didnt know about thieves/didnt give any attention . But i just played free tournament and there was thief. First and second time 3 of enemies killed me nothing special (also thief amongst them). But the third time i saw thief stomp me with haste (dont know about other spells if he had activated) and boom endless loading screen.

Thats why i suddenly see in tournaments 2 or more thives tho before you rarey saw one…..

edit: i was in bg with 2 enemy thievesand also did stomp with haste tho didnt use stealth for it but didnt get any endless loading screen.Must be other spells/traits thief use.

temple of silent storm – thief stomped from stealth.

I got stomped by a perfectly normal war (no stealth/quickness) and still got the endless loading screen. I could upload the video, but it wouldnt help.
I dont think this is related to thief.

15 days n counting anet!

Purely anecdotal evidence, and possibly unrelated, but for me this always seems to happen when I am spamming hotkeys as I res. More specifically it seems to be hotkeys that open a menu/window like opening my inventory, or checking the scoreboard.

I don’t normally spam to try to open my bag, or open the scoreboard as I’m loading, since I have plenty of time to do that while I’m running back to the fight, but when my adrenaline gets going sometimes I’ll be tapping V or B (bags and score hotkeys) while loading and that always seems to be when I get the endless load screen.

Just sayin.

I had been in w3 for few hours without any problems what so ever, getting killed by thieves in stealth and without. Then I joined my first sPvP match today and didn’t even get to play more than few minutes! I was fighting against a thief, we both got downed but his mate got him back up on his feet, then finished me off and boom – endless loading screen.

so glad i only do wvw now

temple of silent storm – thief stomped from stealth.

Same here, happened to me few times now. Dunno if that is just a coincidence, but it can be something about thief stomping…

I don’t really want to add to this idea that thieves are causing loading screen bugs, but I did happen to notice that I got 2 of them back to back both times killed by thief. I’ll pay more attention when I get the bugs maybe it was just a coincidence.
edit: just happened again, but no thief was involved this time.

I think ArenaNet must’ve caught something after all that time selling GW1 on Steam…

They break there own kitten with every patch… and this is suppose to go Esport? Lol ok.

Twice within 10 minutes of play………
