Anyone else crashing ? What’s going on ?

The Dev’s confirmed DDOS.

In computing, a denial-of-service (DoS) attack is an attempt to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users, such as to temporarily or indefinitely interrupt or suspend services of a host connected to the Internet. A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) is where the attack source is more than one, often thousands of, unique IP addresses. – WIKIPEDIA

====

11/17/2016

Our network team has continued to track this issue, and at the present time, all systems are working properly. As you will be aware, this issue arose due to a DDOS attack, and it continued in that vein for many hours. We’ll continue to monitor and work on this issue should it arise again. In the meantime, our thanks to everyone for your reports and for your patience during what has been a very trying time!

We’ve noticed connection issues again and are investigating.

I had to log out, since nothing worked for me- can’t move anything from bags, can’t tp to wp, etc. I’m like a ghost in the game.

Yes, that’s what a lot of us are noting. We’re so sorry and will do our best to get this addressed to the best of our ability and as quickly as possible.

Her and her #*%^ experiments, eh?

until we get updates, at least we can keep an eye on it

I noticed servers going back up, then off again. Might be DDOS, might be some other kind of critical failure, but I’m leaning DDOS just because of the up-down nature of it

They are working on the billing maintenance. More than likely they turned the servers off to do it easier. 7am-2pm PST is the time frame.

I was trying to login a few minutes back and the server returned an error 502 [l_c.rb 95 (fangamer:-1)]
Then, in-game, the trading post wasn’t working, but being in a state of an eternal loop instead.
Issues seem to have resolved for the moment though.

Perhaps this was the ‘update’ you sought: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Connection-with-server-unstable/first#post6399751

Regardless, it does not seem to affect everyone, but the Team are and have been working on it (according to the posts). =)

I can’t leave Stronghold. When I try to exit the match, it just loads Stronghold again.

On the other hand, I can spawn all the Archers I want to keep Tybalt and me company.
