This has probably already been stated but In pvp there is a major bug where you are stuck in loading screen after death (for the rest of the game it seems). It’s not very fun to spend gems you bought for real money on gloory boosts, and you dont even benefit from them half of the time. that’s just total crap imo.
just happened to me also. currently sitting in screen waiting to respawn. fix soon please and give us our money back or more glory boosts. We spend our hard earned money and the game eats it and doesnt give a crap. a bug as simple as a loading screen freeze and it isnt fixed 1 1/2 months out. cmon
Happening all the time.. Controlled tPvP is just not worth it anymore. Mainly making this post, not to whine, but to join in with the crowd. So you know its alot of people experiencing it ^^. Feel the pressure, fix the issue.
There seems to be some general bug with loading screens since the patch. Not only the endless pvp loading screen bug, but also all my other loading screens in pve have doubled to tripled in time. Also sometimes I cannot log into my characters that stand in the heart of the mists. The loading screen there just won’t end, and I’ve waited more than 15 minutes.

All players in guild for TpVp and SpVp experiencing this issue. If we’re lucky it happens earlier in the match but it usually happens at crucial moments thanks to Murphy’s Law.
If this happened to PvE player then ArenaNet would have gone into crisis mode. PvP players get to have their part of the game entirely unplayable for 3 kittening days and that’s just unfair. ANet is showing some serious favoritism.
Quick update: I’m not the guy fixing this, so I can’t go into any detail or give an ETA, but I have been following all the internal emails today so I can guarantee that it’s an extremely high priority for the folks who CAN fix this.
They are working on it. First they need to be informed there is a bug, then try to figure out how it arose and what needs to be done to fix it. Doesn’t happen overnight. No need to add unpleasant remarks.
If it takes 3 days to fix something like a loading screen, this game is dead in the water. This is pretty pathetic. Im alt tabed out now waiting to kick back to what ever as im at a perma loading screen.

While I don’t want to speak for the Anet dev team, I’m pretty sure the bug isn’t with the “loading screen” as much as it is with one of the hundreds of things that are being loaded while the loading screen is being displayed. Although I might find it secretly amusing if it was just a problem with a line of code that got removed that read: loadingScreen.hide();
Happens every instance and for the past 4~ hours, next to every time I die.
I can’t even tourny any more and am getting bored of constantly task managering the game in SPvP… its a gamebreaking bug… I am kind of depressed it still hasn’t been patched out ><
I know fixing stuff takes time, especially if it’s a hard bug to catch, but what annoys me is that such critical situations take a lot of time, sometimes I think that ANet’s iterative process and “when it’s ready” stance is NOT good for patching. This bug has now been in the wild since Sunday. The guardians’ block bug has been in the wild for 2+ weeks now which completely RUINS the game. I am pretty surprised that ANet is so passive about it. I will admit this is my first game by ANet, but I’ve seen other games (including MMOs) fix critical bugs within a day or two max.
I am surprised that this thread has not had more posts.
As the coordinator for Tpvp matches for my guild the loading screen issue has been quite a challenge. Our team building’s momentum has been seriously slowed. We’ve decided to mainly just work on alternate builds and 1,2 or 3v3 in empty servers and practice until the loading screen dragon is slayed.
Basically the title sums it up.. but i’m loading fine up into my first round and second.. then all of a sudden I have to reque because once I die… I can’t respawn. (in the second match)
This is, without a doubt, a game breaking bug. Stopped playing tpvp altogether till it’s fixed.
Why wasn’t the previous patch just rolled back until they can fix it?
Not going to lie, I would rather face phantasm mesmers and PW theifs in tpvp, than this kitten’s bollocks.
Everytime I die in a SPVP game and click to respawn at starting point, the SPVP load screen will appear and remains there for eternity until the client connection timeout.
I appreciate the hard work put in by Anet in painting such an art piece of SPVP load screen but while my friend are dying out there in line of fire, its hard to sit back and take our own sweet time to appreciate this fine piece of art painting. We want to get back into SPVP and fight.
I wonder if this is a known bug or if it is not, then probably its my PC setting issues (as every technical support that I have encountered with will say this … no fail. The mantra is always if it is something that nobody reported and you are the first one to report it, then it MUST be your PC setting problem.)
When is this getting fixed? It has been reported multiple times and the bug has persisted for whole week now. Crashes are urgent bugs. Get to work Anet.
This is really annoying…while playing in spvp sometimes (well much more than sometimes) the loading screen keeps running and after some MINUTES of charging it makes me ctrl alt canc and close everything and then restart the whole game…. And you can immagine this is not fun, expecially if you are winning maybe with 250 more pts…so? What happened now? Everything was working fine and now we get this…and it’s not only me, also lots of guildmates have the same problem…..can’t really play pvp this way. just wasting time…
This evening just got it 3 times in 3 runs while winning…and now i WANT my 500+ pts back…this is not possible
I’m really regretting adding an authenticator to my account, due to the fact that it’s annoying as hell to pull it up on my phone every 15 minutes due to this bug. PvP is pretty much all I do in this game, and when the whole thing is broken, well, I don’t have very much incentive to play, now do I?
I have a feeling that we are going to wait till monday to see this fixed.
I usually have high tolerance on game bugs but when you are playing game and 1 of its main core features is completely broken… c’mon, game was in better shape at release
When I died in pvp, the loading screen would just keep running, even though my internet connection is fine. Did this twice in about 4 battles. Just kept running, even though I could still hear the battle that I was just in. Anyone else having that problem?
Not to sound ungrateful, but this is getting out of hand. In PvE it’s not big deal since u can just reload and go back, but in WvW and sPvP tournaments its honestly game-breaking, hope we honestly don’t have to wait until Monday for a fix. Sorry if this looks like an angry post, but I’m honestly annoyed as hell.
A GW2 Player asked a wise man:

-Learn to play – he said.
Monday would be a good answer for a fix compared to what we are hearing.
WvWvW is end game. I’m actually bothered by the limited amount of patching that has effected the numerous issues / complaints about WvWvW.
Well when you’re for example on Battle of Kyhlo, 3/3 round in tPvP and half ur mates get the bug in less than 15 secs, you pretty much lose it coz 3/3 is tight and usually features pretty good teams. Throw in that it happens constantly and you have yourself an issue.

5th game in a row here. died 2-3 times, 3rd death i get a ten minute loading screen and either the match ends and i get a normal new loading screen for the next match or i get kicked to character select “due to an excessive period of player inactivity”.
