Guild Wars 2

Have to admit that taking an 8-ish month hiatus (due to RL issues) and finding all the “Town Cloths” (to include toys etc) gone on my return was not fun.
I have the standard “ask us for a refund for the items you bought and we deleted” ticket in, but not holding my breath.
I liked GW2 enough to buy crystals with $ to get in-game eye-candy, only to find it gone? I’m holding out my final verdict on how it plays out, but if they screw me over then they will never see another cent from me.

In general though, I play because I find it fun, though “fun” is subjective to things such as noted above (as well as tons of other things).

Confirmed corrected for us too.
Now my curiosity is piqued.
Wonder what the issue was?

Starting to wonder about regional connex issues. Also noticing some sites like Amazon, CNN, WashingtonPost etc are not accessible.
Also, checking WoW forums, looks like Blizz is having repeated server crashes across alot of realms.
Hopefully it’s not malicious activity. I see hackathon2013 is spinning up.

Today (01 June 13) the launcher sits at “Downloading 0KB” for a minute or two.
During this time, there is a message quickly flashed for a second stating “Connection error(s) detected. Retrying…”
It then returns to “Downloading 0KB” for another 20 seconds or so.
It then shows “Connection error(s) detected. Retrying…” again and stays there.

Both PCs at this location have this issue.
Both could logon Thursday (2 days ago; last time played) without issue.
Other games such as WoW and SWTOR are accessible.
1 PC has Planetside 2 which is also accessible.

East Coast Verizon customer. Any connection issues with this area?

When a ranged AOE can kitten a chest in 5 seconds, loot it and move on, while a melee (warrior for example) has to deal with the spammed short-ranged stun/knockdown/knockback spewfest from the QBert rejects… I’m left wondering…
Do Devs play only Ranged DPS or do you just hate melee that much?
Seriously? A freaking TIMER on looting the rewards?
By the time I kill the 5-6 mobs spam-bouncing my warrior all over the place, the drops despawn.
All I can say is thank goodness the rewards skins are about the most ridiculously pathetic things that have been released. If they’d been decent, I’d be truly upset in the Dev’s thoroughness.
Perhaps the next fugly thing you release will have a reflection bubble spam so ranged DPS can “feel the love” too.

Those “Story Line” dailies are awesome for those of us stuck waiting for Devs to fix their mistakes. I didn’t realize how much I liked having my face slapped before now. Who knew?

Spent all weekend and Monday trying to beg help from the masses with no luck, so in before the fanbois start in on the “get help” posts. If you’re willing to post but not willing to actually help, then spare us the post please.

Wait, what? What do you mean “Thanks for pointing this out! Now that we are aware of this issue”? I posted a bug on this way before 30 January.
Perhaps I should say “thank YOU for finally checking the forums”. Sheesh. All that time waiting for a fix and you only just bothered to read any posts on it?

Thing to note Mr “only affects sylvari created with 0 setting” I can ASSURE you that you are incorrect.
My Sylvari had a MAX setting up until I was stupid enough to use your makeover kit.

Am I angry? Yes, a bit. But moreso because of the wasted time waiting for a fix they weren’t even working on than anything else.

19 February patch and No Fix. I just checked.

Here is some useful info for others though, since I don’t want to simply rant.
The way to check and see if you will be affected is to use the kit, go to skin pattern and set the slider to desire level.
Change to another tab such as physique and switch back to skin pattern.
If that slider is not where you left it (it moves to minimum for example) do NOT apply or you WILL lose your glow at nights.
Hope that helps.
