Guild Wars 2

Alright, lets start off this rant topic with an small word of gratitude to the game devs, you did an fantastic job carving the jungle. it looks amazing, the story is amazing and the specialisations are amazing.

however, (yes here it comes)
The issue with HoT isn’kittens content, its the stability of the maps. now what do i mean with that? allow me to explain.

The issue at hand is the numerous crashes, today i was on Dragon’s Stand (ds) trying to get that shiny lay energy converter. i have played this map start to finish, wel, tried to play it start to finish.

In the course of an hour, i experienced 19 crashes, 19… let that number sink in please. 19… yes 19,

This issue is not isolated to ds map, every single map has an major meta event which i gladly participate in, they are enjoyable content which is really well made, the isue however, is crashes. shocker right?

Every map i have played on in the major meta events resulted in nothing but pure frustration after crashing to desktop multiple times. i have tried setting up parties so i could rejoin the shard i crashed from (the active meta map) with little to no succes, yes i was able to rejoin but only to crash to desktop 5 minutes later.

I have used an heroic booster tonight in ds meta map which i commanded on, which was practically wasted, i was able to get an kill on maybe 15-25 mobs only after to crash to desktop, i have seen multiple chests which i was running to to pickup and before reaching them crashing again.

Its an shame, that i have to turn to forum side like this but my frustration has reached its limit. Enough is enough.

When can we expect some form of stability improvements to the game? I am aware the devs are working on this as i am typing this, HoT is now live for nearly 2 weeks. over this time there have been plenty of updates which were targeted at improving the content, fixing bugs, exploits, and all sorts of things.

As to close this post, is there any compensation for people affected by these numerous crashes? it ruins the HoT experience to such an degree where i am inclined to just leave the HoT alone since it creates more frustration then pleasure when playing said content.

If anyone else is experiencing what i am, please, post your story and let the dev’s know what you think of it, be polite and considerate as you always are.

And PLEASE, don’t quote this main post, I’ve seen it multiple times in topics.. just don’t

wel i suppose people don’t experience it…

It has been happening since the HoT update (We are in the same boat) and Anet is well aware of the issue but we don’t know how long it’ll take for them to fix it. They didn’t say a thing about this on the forum but you can read a dev’s response here on reddit:

I love this game but seriously; For the last 3 times in Verdant Brink I’ve run full day/night cycle with tier 4 and 200% participation, and without fail 2mins before daylight the game crashes and I lose ALL my rewards and Exp. I know the feel.

Try what the person here said about deleting your local.dat file:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Unable-to-Login-Disconnected-After-Map-Change/page/9#post5687620

local.dat doesnt help

this is a client issue and needs to be resolved.. it should be TOP PRIORITY since you have SOOOOO many people that cant play.

PLEASE FIX ASAP

I have had this Issue occuring for months now. My game will crash 5+ time DAILY and i send in bug reports everytime. I have been Tagged up leading tequatl, Leading Vinewrath, WvW, Maguuma bosses, Tarir assault, You name it I lead it and I have CONSTANTLY been disconnected from the game. I have turned my graphics to best performance before fights to see if it helps with no difference.
It all started with the HOT beta and has progressively gotten worse every patch since then. The height of my frustration happened last week when I was leading a Tarir city assault and It was going to win. I was excited out of my mind cause I hadn’t won the event yet. Then as if some GM decided that he hated me, the game crashed, I lost everything for participating and Leading the event to victory… I logged back in and my buddies in my guild have their loot and offered their condolences, but because I had crashed all my map progress had been reset AND I couldn’t join their map to even get into the treasure room to use my keys because it was full…
I was so mad I couldn’t even sit down to write a bug report…
So color me surprised when the next day I try to log in to have found out that the guild wars team has found my character name to be inappropriate… two years on the character and nothing… now this? WHEN YOU HAVE A GAME TO FIX?!?!
I literally am writing this as I am waiting for fire elemental… and sure enough the ele gets to 1/4th HP and the game CRASHES!!!! AGAIN! That’s 6 times today!
Claw, Legendary Wyvern, META map progress in Verdant brink, Vinewrath, Teq, and now fire elemental. I have tried and tried to earn more gear today, more shovels for my guild hall and play with my wife, only to have the game crash repeatedly WHILE THE ANET TEAM TWIDDLES THEIR THUMBS JUDGING MY CHARACTER NAME TO BE INAPPROPRIATE FOR AN UNDIVULGED REASON!
I am SO upset right now I can’t even believe it…. Reparations Anet… So help me you need to fix this. Your team told me after the mordremoth invasion blunder this crap would stop happening. Well we are all still waiting for you to fix the game so we can play it and waiting for you give us something to make up for the hours we have wasted trying to complete events when your game punishes player for your unsquashed bugs.
Fix the reward system, Fix the crashes.

I have always been able to run GW2 on Ultra settings @ 1440P, with dual monitors – browsers open, etc… but I agree with this post, and have encountered so many daily crashes while attending world boss meta events; I was close to giving up.

It seems the problem lies within the gigantic population of players (which of course is a good thing!), maxing out memory since the client is x32 instead of any 64 bit version. For the time being; I reduced shadows from ultra to high, set frame limiter to 30, reduced LOD by one setting, and reduced character model limit by one as well. I haven’t had a crash in two days now – fingers crossed until this issue is resolved. I still have ambient Occlusion and all other DX effects checked/turned on.
It would be great if there were a 64 bit client made available Anet (hint hint, nudge nudge.) Assuming this is the problem.
That being said; Loving the new Xpac Anet!

GREAT NEWS!!!!!
