Guild Wars 2

This is along the lines of a common post thats going around, regarding the constant crashes. Ranging from 2 mins-30mins of playing (or more).

I was midway through a pvp match in unranked when the game decided it was a ripe time for crashing to desktop. Loaded back in, resumed playing, didn’t think anything of it (besides the annoyance of crashing -.-). After the match, I went to queue again, only.. I couldn’t. 15 min lock out for something I had no control over.

After I was able to play again, managed to do a full matchup without crash (YAY!). Afterwards, I queued up for another game. 30 seconds into queuing…CRASH! Get back in game, tried to queue…. 21min lockout from pvp! :’(

Don’t get me wrong, I love this system, to punish people who do nothing or emoquit in pvp. Its been needed for a looong time. Sadly, its also punishing the people who it shouldn’t be.

I get told; upgrade to x64. If only that was possible. My computers old, but its always been able to play GW2 without a problem. HoT launch, only crash issues in the new HoT maps. The core game remained fairly stable. However, since the november 17th patch, its like the core game now behaves like the HoT maps.

Point is, I shouldn’t need to upgrade, I bought the game and know my computer can play it (i’ve been playing since launch). I’m on vista x32 and unable to afford to upgrade for the forseeable future. So for me, upgrading to x64 is not an option.

Please remove this Dishonor system until the game is stable again. Or implement someway for those who do crash to not be giving a temp pvp ban.

Many Windows keys offer a free upgrade to 64-bit. You might consider checking to see if you own such a key.

Good luck.
