Guild Wars 2

Since this afternoon there have been quite a few big issues in LA (amongst others), probably server related. The issues weren’t only effecting me, a bunch of other people were reporting similar things:

- All NPCs and Players disappear (apart from party members)
- Moving instantly kills you
- No falling damage
- Boons cannot be applied to you
- Skills cannot be activated (but Guardian virtues can)
- People getting teleported inside a rock near the Bloodtide Coast portal
- Land weapons equipped whilst underwater
- People unable to revive bugged players

Here’s a screenshot of a friend who got randomly teleported past the bloodtide coast portal:

It doesn’t just happen in LA, but across many maps.

As above, a lot of people are reporting it in mapchat, also for me. I got electrocuted while walking, later saw that you get the same effect from using the mystic forge, but i wasn’t there when it happened.

Since last patch I’m getting similar issues in Silverwastes. During this issue, my character have always underwater weapon even I’m not underwater. I can see results of players interacting with world but i can’t see them and enemies neither. I’m just ghost, who can walk through the area and who is affected by collision and gravity. Shortly, information I’m trying to give you is following: Most of maps is affected by this issue.

I think that this should be categorized as critical issue and it should be fixed as soon as possible. Its so annoying when you are trying to enjoy game, get loot that moves your progression. it is happening me very often so I am losing lot of chances to progress through game. It’s getting worse and worse and i’m losing my patience. Could any of devs give us some information about this or confirm it is being fixed now atleast?

Just had the same happen in Wayfarer: first there’s severe lag, then reports of vistas disappearing, then literally all NPCs and enemies on the map disappear; then everyone starts dying.

I had this happen a few days ago in LA, but that’s the first time (personally) out in another map.

Yep, died 7 times in 20mins trying to do the Trolls Revenge JP last night. Not the best of times to randomly get electrocuted and drop dead.
was also catapaulted to the Bloodtide WP – not WP’d. Physically dragged from the commodore area to the other side of the map.
Had amazing skill lag, the inability to cast any speed boons (warrior warhorn, etc) and for a while was running around with my harpoon (ofc not being able to swap out/cast anything, etc)

It is beginning to get on my nerves, let alone other people. the WvW maps are being affected by the sudden-death-syndrome, and although its hilarious when someone drops dead in a group, it is bloody annoying when you are in an organised raid.

Had this on Diessa yesterday evening, and when asking in mapchat everyone was having major lag problems.
According to my teammate i was attacking invisible foes and the event I was doing was not showing up for him at all!

I was just posting my experience on this, but the forum ate it. Not sure what happened there. :/ I shall attempt to add my experience again!

Anyhoo, I was in Frostgorge Sound, having just done the Claw of Jormag and then after the Rescue Casataways event by Honor of the Waves. I came out of the water, minekittenhril node, and went to the kodan who sells beer after the Castaway event (for the Brewmaster achievement). I saw on the minimap the mithril node is still there, so thought maybe I just missed the last bit of it, and decided to go and finish it. En route, I experienced a rather noticeable lag spike, after which I died on the spot. I know this sort of thing is happening right now, so just went for the Slough of Despond waypoint.

I came back equipped with underwater weapons, and one of the pets I use underwater. However, skill two off the weapon was missing. I went back into the water to see if that would fix it, and skill two came back. I was also able to swap my pet to the shark and rename it. I came back on land and the results are as you see in the attached pictures. Amusing, yes, and I probably should’ve tried to fight on land with the underwater weapons - but as I was unable to mine the remaining mithril, I thought the weapons would be the same.

*"mined a singular mithril node" gets eaten by the kitten censor ("a singular was actually just the letter "a")? Wow!
