Guild Wars 2

I’ve had this problem for a long time. It rarely has even worked in the past year I’ve played. Tp constantly has issues.and seldom ever worked properly. Now it’s nonstop 3 weeks at least of absolutely not working at all.

This is very frustrating and making me upset that despite my tickets nothing has been done.

I’m a casual player so I just caught up with this trading post glitch yesterday. I hope it gets fixed. I’m glad they are doing something about it. I’ve played many games that, if an error occurs, it might take weeks to months before the issue is resolved.

I can confirm that the TP works correctly in crossover.

I really hope ANet fixes this fast… trying to actually play in crossover rather sucks.

whats a crossover?

Crossover is yet another commercial fork of the Wine-Project(in simple terms, wine translates the “commands” of windows software so that a Unix-like system as Linux and OS X can “comprehend” it). Cider, which is used to make GW 2 run on a Mac is also a fork of Wine.

Where is Anet?

Is it still morning now?

If you guys would actually read the comments, they are working on it and it will be released. I see a bunch of you complaining that it’s almost noon where you are and hasn’t been fixed yet. A lot of us live on the East Coast, and we haven’t had a fix either, and it’s later for us. Just wait a little longer; if anything it’ll probably be at reset. No big deal. At least Anet is finally answering us.

its midnight in Europe,,,,, its not just complaining,,,,, the pc version got a fix,,, a friend of mine on pc said its fix for them,,,, its always the same,,,,, for mac we get fix only at the end when people cry out for almost a week,,,,,
they said last night it will be fixed by 11, april morning,,,,, thats why
we all love this game,,, if we don’t we wouldn’t bother,,,,,

In the UK it’s 10:30pm, I’ve literally waited my entire day for this fix…

if you are not sure about a fix then stop dishing out dates and time,,, not wonder people get impatient,,,,,

Well I’m too not complaining and I totally agree with Oogo. If we don’t love this game we wouldn’t bother. But the thing is, it’s 1:30AM in Middle East and it’s actually 12th of April

Please ANET Team, do your best!! And I wish you all the luck!

Smoke ’em if ya got ’em!

It’s still April 11th. I’m sorry you live in the Europe, but this game runs on West Coast time. It’s annoying for me as well; honestly I wish they would run on GMT, because the resets are on GMT, but sadly they don’t. Of course the PC gets a fix quicker; there’s way more PC players and PC actually has a native client. I feel like none of you are thinking about the time zones before you post. It was one thing when no one was answering us earlier this week, but now they finally are and have said they are working on it.

They should make a real Mac version or this sort of thing will happen again.

Oogo.4083:

whats a crossover?

A crossover is a device designed to divide audio information into smaller frequency ranges to comply with the requirements of different transducers in an audio reproduction system. This is accomplished by running the audio through a set of filters. For example, a two-way crossover may be comprised of a low pass and high pass filter where the low pass filter passes a signal with frequencies more suitable for a woofer and the high pass filter passes frequencies the tweeter can deal with. Crossovers can be passive or active designs. Passive crossovers are usually found inside speaker cabinets along with the speaker components. These often connect to the outside world via a single jack, but sometimes each speaker component also has its own jack in case one wants to bypass the built in passive crossover. Active crossovers are placed before the power amp. In that application each frequency range is given its own power amp and its own drivers. This is where the phrase bi-amping and tri-amping come from. There are a number of different types of filter configurations used in crossovers and they each produce subtly different results. One of the big variables is how steep the roll off is at the cutoff frequency. Common configurations are 12 dB per octave, 18 dB per octave, and 24 dB per octave. Each design has its own strengths and weaknesses, but in general steeper roll offs are considered better in modern applications.

So many items to sell, so little bag space left. I hope tomorrow (I’m on GMT +1) the hotfix has been deployed. I need my silver-selling fix!

It’s almost heartbreaking to see the lengths people go to defend a company, even now when it’s not “morning April 11th” anywhere on this planet. Wait.. they didn’t say earth time did they? Hmm.

IKR! What’s with the “teacher’s pet” angle?

Always a challenge to give firm deadlines, since they can and will be wrong. Always a challenge to not give them because people will feel they are not being listened to. The Internet has taught people to want immediate answers, which is problematic because sometimes there aren’t any.

I used to teach and once had a student email me with a question at 1am Saturday night. Then again, at 3am Saturday night to tell me what a bad professor I was for not getting back to them yet. I stripped the identifying information off and posted it on the course site on how not to communicate when you need someone to do something for you.

Perhaps someone needs to write a workflow tracker to create simple graphics to drop in forums that tell people where in the process things are based on current ticket status and other trackable measures. The resolution time is, after all, indeterminate, but telling people where things stand right now, well that is pretty concrete, even if it may not be pretty.

same problem but i notice that top of the window of black lion trade post…. it says GEM (0) what does that mean cause before this trade post bug i have more then 5000 gems,,,,, please someone tell me my gems didn’t vanish,,,,,

@Oogo It’s the keybinding to open the trade post.

That is not a zero, that is the letter ‘O’, which is your current hotkey for opening the Trading Post.

There is a certificate problem meaning that your client is refusing to talk to the servers in question. From a security perspective, this is a good thing. From an “Oops! The Mac client can’t automatically accept new valid certificates” not so much.

Most likely the script that populates that gem count field is part of the remote content being refused, so it never reads and sets the display value.

Quoted for Truth.

Ooh, just read other people’s responses. Like those answers better.

I doubt this is ever going to happen. Pretty sure the only reason we got a Mac Client in the first place was that the only additional cost would be the cider licensing and the occasional developer time if something breaks (as in this situation). Unless they believe that a real Mac Port would get them a whole lot of new customers, I just don’t see it.

Edit: This is all OT though.

It’s not a “o” or an “0”. It’s a circle. It’s a call for the Mac community to circle the wagons.

So…when is the new build coming out? You know, the one that they said they had over 3 hours ago?

Don’t hold your breath, the build will likely come next week. Oh well.

A little confused, I tried reading the past forum posts too…
But ANet is going to fix the issues with the TP soon? Like, most of the issues, including where it opens but is completely blank? Not just the gem issues?

If not….
For the past 4 days, I haven’t been open the trading post. Like, it opens, but remands completely blank. Not even a gold ring of death.

Does anyone know a fix? (Unless ANet is right about to come out with a fix.)

Well…I’ve given up waiting, im just going to install guild wars 2 with crossover.

There is no fix that a player could realistically do.

Regarding the fixing “soon”, by now I don’t believe we’ll see a fix before next week, for the simple reason that it’s rather unlikely that they’ll put out a patch out in the afternoon/evening before the weekend. Because if the fix broke even more and the highest amount of people plays…

Well I do hope they fix it soon.

It’s really flippin annoying that i can’t open it at all.

-waits-

Is there like a MAC guild.. because i see this problems are gonna keep happening.

As an impulse buy I have the urge to spends $1,000+ on upgrades, minis and all those other cool things, but I can’t get on the Trading Post. I don’t know how long this impulse will last.

It’s well past midnight, I am aware that others are suffering worse time differences than myself but this wait is a joke. I understand it’s a big issue and that I have completely no understanding of the gruelling process it must be to correct this, but I hate to admit I’m becoming really impatient. I hope you guys can fix it soon and I’m sorry for just adding to the ongoing lists of complaints but this is somewhat ridiculous.

Guess no fix. It would have been nice but I’ll keep playing nonetheless =).
Haha my guild is going to hate me though because I keep filling up the guild bank with stuff worth a couple silver that I can’t bear to delete or vendor.

I would be the first in line to join that guild! All Macheads all the time. No PC’s telling me I “wasted money”.

robinsonpark.9845:

I have a Mac guild. I started it with the intention of it being a guild for Mac players but decided I don’t have time to run a guild properly so it is just my personal guild bank. The Mac Mob [iMob]. I’m not in another guild so I rep it all the time.

Let me be somehow realistic about this. Although I’m being patient about it. But based on the last few comments, I believe this is just a drag out to delay everything to next monday morning. Which I don’t believe they will release it on that day and will delay it one more day along with the new patch. And based on experience that I remember in the beginning of the launch of GW2, I’m pretty sure we are all going to suffer even more from not only the TP, but also from other bugs that the new patch will bring in. For the only example in my mind now is “the megaserver”.

I’m not trying to put more fuel/wood on the current “fire”. I’m just trying to be realistic and accept that we are in bad situation and this might take way longer than what we’ve promised.

In the mean time, I appreciate what ANET is doing and I know it’s gonna take a while. And for that I really really appreciate if some nice guy on the forum teach us a way to deal with this problem “temporary”. I read someone said he is going to install the GW2 with crossover. Does anyone know how or willing to teach us how, please?!

Sorry if I sounded pessimistic, and I hope that I’m totally wrong with that!

Was it confirmed that crossover will work? It is almost the same exact thing Anet is using (which is the problem, we’re basically using IE6 for the TP, I believe).

CC Danicia.1394:

Just got the new build; we’re getting closer!

And hours later it’s still not fixed. sigh.

yeah i appreciate all that anet is doing to try to fix this but my guess is no TP for mac till tuesday :/ not the end of the world, just a little annoying. ty anet for working on this

Well, after having dome program testing myself, sometimes what appears to be a simple fix turns out to be a bit more complicated. Sometimes a LOT more complicated. At least we can be happy they are trying to make it work.

“still working”= not before next week – at the earliest – I assume? Great.

CrossOver works just fine. I got CrossOver and setup Guild Wars 2 through it using this page here: https://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/name/?app_id=7951;tips=1

I’d say it runs similar to the Mac Beta, and the TP works, so there’s that. It’s good temporary solution. I’ve had it crash once and sometimes the performance isn’t as smooth as the beta client, but it works.

(sighs) as I excepted. See you guys next Tuesday then
