Guild Wars 2

Pvp server decides to shut down right after I get a solo queue pop. For the next 15min, the solo queue pop up notice appears every 5secs reminding me I have a match in 60seconds. Posting this here hoping Anet does something about this (after delaying it for another half year) and hopefully this does not count as a loss, which it shouldn’t since nobody should be in the match.

May have something to do with the patch about to be implemented. They usually shut down matches and don’t allow queuing or re-entry until after patch. I’m just guessing though since I’m at work.

You want to be online soon as they open again, the Que will re-pop and if your team is logged out then the other team can cap without a problem.

It happened to team mate last patch. Que pop’ed server closed he was slow on download update, other team got to 300 points before anyone on his side rejoined the game.

Having the same issue, i’m currently a top 500 PvP, if i lose i hope Anet compensates me accordingly! >:@

Hehe. Does this mean we lose the match?

this happens every single patch. lol.

Recorded as a loss, thanks anet!

Anddddddddddddddddddddd I lost (All of us who had the queue box did). I don’t mind but having it recorded in the leaderboards? That’s another story. Sigh.

So in short, SOL?

This can occasionally happen and its why we also warn you that the patch is inbound. Each patch brings the PvP servers down which can cause some odd occurrences for those who managed to bypass our servers being down. Additionally there is never a state in which tournament match statistics are not recorded. It is one of the reasons we give you a warning that the patch is coming shortly.

u realize that i brings the pvp servers to early down? every patch means 1-2 hours waiting for pvp to get finally the update. in the meantime all pve-players still finish dungeon or whatever they are doing until they get kicked out of the game

PvP functions the same way—anyone in a match will be allowed to finish. He’s saying there is a system in place to prevent people from queueing right before the servers go offline for the update, but they still do anyway.

the problem is following:
1. u play a match and get the warning and finish the match
2. u cant requeue and u cant restart cause u dont will get the patch
3. if u look serverbrowser u see still servers with old version but u cant join
4. the only thing u can do is waiting in hotm for 1 hour or longer till patch goes finally life

That’s because they have to allow time for people to finish their matches/dungeons/etc. before taking the servers offline. You can’t have it both ways; if it weren’t for the time buffer, more people would complain.

seeing the serverbrowser that still servers are running matches and prevent to join is just silly. in pve u not only can finish your dungeon u can still clear maps till game shut down. so they clearly can join old serverversions. so why not in pvp?

Because the mobs don’t get upset if you leave halfway through exploring the zone in PvE. When you log back in, you pick up right from where you left off.

We didn’t get a patch warning until after the pvp server got shut down though. This was around 3 hours before the build was live.
