Guild Wars 2

Has there been any update in regards to why the servers aren’t working?

When I attempt to start GW2 from my desktop shortcut the launcher just states “Connection error(s) detected. Retrying…”. This doesn’t change no matter how long I leave it sitting there. I don’t even get to the section where I need to log in. This problem has at least persisted for 2-3 hours (since I initially became aware of it) but may have been present for a longer period of time.

I’m somewhat disappointed that there isn’t an official thread stating “We’re working on it” or something similar in regards to this issue, considering the length of time that the problem has persisted. I’m more than happy to be patient and wait but I would have liked some reassurance that it’s actually being looked at.

So yes, short version: Any news on whether the servers are being looked at/fixed?

:)

Yep same thing here hope we get a reply soon

It must be only affecting some players. I’m not having any issues.

Update: I am still having this issue. I have not seen any notes about a fix :-(

I literally was getting between 700 and 4000+ ping

I checked my net .. it is not my net..

This has been on going for the last 24 hours and quite a few people have confirmed it in game and out.

I find Anet usually places their first confirmation of issues on Facebook and twitter .. not on these forums til later. Check there.

Also it looks like there is at least 55 reports of connectivity issues reported here:

and even far back as 2 days ago:

A speedtest tells nothing about your connectivity to a particular server. Try a program such as pingplotter.

Good luck.

A DDOS attack has been ongoing, apparently for a couple of days. I don’t know the status as if this morning, but I was booted last night repeatedly.
