Guild Wars 2

Hi!

I recently joined a guild on a different server to mine, after hearing about the ‘cross server guild’ functionality, which sounded ace.

I tried to do AC with them tonight, but when I entered the zone and clicked ‘yes’ to the prompt that asks whether I want to start AC with the group, I got a network error and it asked me to check my internet connection.

Any ideas? Am I trying to do the impossible?

Thanks for any help,

Rumpy.

Bump!

Further info: I -think- I might have been on the overflow server when this happened. Could that have been the problem?

I’d be really grateful for any info or advice on this.

Thanks.

I had this same problem 10 minutes ago, I wasn’t on an overflow server though. Something to do with cross server connection I think.

No problems joining a group that was on my home server. (I also never had this problem before with cross server)

Was the other server based on the other side of the Atlantic from your home world? For some reason, the game’s infrastructure doesn’t allow us to do this. The error messages stated above are consistent with this. See: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/Can-i-party-with-americans-from-europe/first#post838261

Within that restriction, you can group with people from other servers for dungeons (and I believe for personal stories, although I haven’t tried to do that recently). In fact, gw2lfg.com assumes that people can group together (it does not require you to name your local server, only whether you are NA or EU).

Most likely just a fluke, Rogue. I mean it doesn’t even allow you to join the party of people on a server in the opposite region, if I’m not mistaken.

My best guess is that you fell victim to one of the many bouts of random disconnects, unrelated an coincidental to what you were doing at the time.

p.s. This thread is 3 months old. Doesn’t make sense to draw a parallel from the first full month of the game’s release.

Oh hmmm, maybe I did try partying with americans… my bad. Didn’t know that didn’t work.

It does when it’s still happening today.

I wouldn’t kick yourself about it — there’s no way to know. My friend and I have been trying to play together for months and we kept trying every known work-around (and attempted to create a few more)…and we only discovered that thread by accident. Every time there’s a new holiday event (or new dungeon, like FotM), we try again just in case something changed…but no luck so far.
