Guild Wars 2

We were just doing Guild-Rush, and in the middle of it most of us got heavy lag and in the end crashed, and now we can’t load the client.
What’s up?

Blacktide Server (EU)

Can confirm login issues aswell

Desolation

Same here, was having massive lag issues for the past 10 min, decided to log out to see if that would fix it. Now I can’t get back in.

NA playing on a EU server (Seafarer’s Rest)

I can confirm it i got kicked from the game and now i can’t log in

Underworld (EU)

Piken Square (EU) is down for me as well.

Lots of packet loss in tinet (plaync’s upstream provider) and plaync istself.

Login server is down for me.

Crystal Desert (US)

Back in now on Desolation but TP is down.

Hope they’re not on their easter holidays or we’ll have a long wait hehe…

My wife got in after multiple attempts, but i’m still out of luck.

One minute I can get in only to face the same horrid lag, with disconnects or I can’t get on at all

Far shiverpeaks server lag a lot

Took several attempts but i was able to log on, but now stuck at the lions arch loading screen.
-Gunnars Hold

Back ingame too, but still very laggy everywhere

I’m logged in for a few hours now, but everything is lagging (big time). And trying to search something on the trading post shows the error:
“502 – Web server received an invalid response while acting as a gateway or proxy server.”

Same on Gunnars Hold for me. Hard to log in, even harder to play due to lag. Someone spilled their coffee on the servers. :P

Its the weekend isnt it? Alot of people are playing.. I’m out too still having trouble.

This is a mmo, however. A mmo that can’t handle a bit more people over a weekend wouldn’t make much sense. Besides all the weekends before this one were fine for me.

Anyways, I can report the same issue on Ruins of Surmia. I just got in a Twilight Arbor exp run group, we defeated the first boss and suddenly got ungodly amounts of lag. Shortly after that my client dc-ed. I tried to restart it but couldn’t log in. After many attempts I was able to get to the character select screen but everything was still really laggy. When I tried to get into the game itself the client crashed again. Can’t log in again.

I reported this to support. I suggest everyone with this issue does the same if they haven’t already. More reports = more exposition = potentially sooner fix.

All your fault :P tease

Given the mass DCing going on I hardly think Anet aren’t aware of a massive drop in the number of actives players in the game.

Heheh, must be. Dang it, and the group I got in was like super efficient, everyone knew what they were doing.. of course this won’t happen when you hook up with a noob squad trying to do a dungeon exp run

We don’t know how massive a drop we’re talking about. Before I DC-ed I managed to ask my guild mates if they were experiencing lag, and managed to get two of them to respond that everything’s fine before the client went down. While you’re probably right, it’s also possible that this affected a smaller number of people, it’s not like there’s thousands of posts in this thread. In any event, contacting support can’t exactly hurt.

I’m also surprised that it’s not just my dungeon run at Crucible of Eternity went wrong and crashed, that many of the users here were from different servers and doing different activities… it’s got to be something wrong with Anet’s infrastructure of network. Close to an hour now, still can’t log back in; rather, I could log on but the “play” button at character selection screen gray out and client closed down by itself. I didn’t get to see what error the client gave.

Gendara (EU) Server

Update – I can now log in and get back into the game. I tried guesting on Piken Square and that worked. Then I returned to my own server (Ruins of Surmia) and that now seems to work as well, don’t see any lag atm.

Same. Lagging for up to 6 seconds at times. Got disconnected and now cant get back in.

Update. All good now (fingers crossed).

Seems good for me too, hopefully it’s fixed permanently! Thanks ANet!

Works so far here as well. Thanks ANet
