Guild Wars 2

This just happened on the Wurm kill I was doing. I targeted it and it was literally dead before I could even get one shot off on my Ranger.

This needs to be fixed. It’s known, people are doing it deliberately to grief people, and it should be considered an exploit.

Quick update, did all my daily quests in Queensdale without any issues at all, including crowded events.

Waypointed back to Divinity’s Reach, went to the bank, the delays were back (took ages for bank window to open, ages for items to transfer into the bank and update their counts etc etc)

Also, loading into the area around Minister’s Waypoint repeatedly has the surrounding area rendering in “layers” – NPCs walking in mid-air till the surface they’re walking on is rendered etc. Only happens there.

If it’s packet loss somewhere in the chain between user’s ISP and Arenanet then the only people that can do something about it is Arenanet. Your ISP will simply ignore you and wash their hands of any packet loss issues that aren’t on their own hardware. Blizzard often has to chase down packet loss issues themselves because of this. Expecting players to spend what is literally hours on the phone to their ISP for a problem their ISP almost certainly is not responsible for is ridiculous.

I just started getting these disconnects tonight. Never ever happened before. Only thing that’s changed is a patch when I loaded the game tonight.

Maybe of interest: so far all but one of the disconnects have been in personal story instances, and always where there is a transition to the next stage of that instance (heading towards the “green star” etc)

The only other one was just now leaving Divinity’s Reach through the portal to Queensdale. The portal simply wouldn’t work for a bit (same issue with triggering the entrance to story instances btw) then when it did, disconnected.

In the story instance just before, there was no immediate sign of disconnection. NPC did his speech and the game moved on to “kill the assassins” – but there was nothing there to kill. After about 20-30 seconds, suddenly BAM five enemies in my face and insta-dead.

Edit: while typing this, got disconnected just standing still in Queensdale.

My connection, by the way, is 100Mbps fibre.

And of course after I exit, naked, broken and defeated, immediately after the loading screen I am two-shot by a mass of karka right there at the entrance.

Something that was supposedly “fixed”.

Done with this crap, I really am.

Thread subject says it all.

From getting mobbed by Karka on the way to the entrance (err, wasn’t there a patch note that said they’d STOPPED that happening?) to repeatedly getting one-shotted by Canach after I’ve run him through only ONE mine (I’m on quarter-second lag thanks to being in Australia, maybe that’s an issue, maybe not… the FOG certainly is an issue) to stripping naked and trying it that way…

CAN NOT DO IT.

Never felt more angry with this game.

I know how to work the mine mechanic, but there is just not enough time, and one second too slow and you’re dead. Again.

NOT. FUN.

Very sad that I won’t be able to complete this achievement. Just about to hit 80, too, and the rewards would have been handy. But I am not bashing my head against a brick wall of bad design and fog and lag and stuns and one-shots to make it happen.

I might be able to eventually defeat it, but I suspect I would never want to play the game again afterwards.

Well, guess I missed the 9 Mystic Coins that deposited as collectibles amongst all the levelling bag chaos

Thanks for that, consider this one comprehensively solved!

I very well might have, but as far as I am aware Mystic Coins have not deposited as collectibles before – I’ve always had to go manually toss them into the bank where I have a stack of them in the normal bank tabs.

Will check

Nothing major really but just finished today’s daily achievement set and got the xp, Jug of Liquid Karma, gold, and all that. I also got the usual Mystic Coin, as seen in the “this is what you will receive” display and also in the chat window (“you recieve 1 Mystic Coin”)

However it did not appear in my bags.

First time this has happened, and only noticed right away because after finishing the daily I always head straight to the bank to deposit it

I tried North Nolan Hatchery with an lvl39 Necro (yeah buffed to lvl80)
Could not do it.
First part with Rox, went fine.
Then destroy Sonic devices. After i destroyed the first one there was some fighting at its location (foes and my minions prolly). Then when my minions died, 5 to 10 foes came at me. I fled out of the instance.

Yeah, i read groups or a real lvl80 char is recommended.
But it would be nicer if any char lvl could do it.

I had a similar experience with my humble level 16 Necro. Buffed to 80, sure, but not (that I could see, anyway) with any abilities I didn’t already have.

All fine up until shutting down the first sonic device, then the melee fight that followed turned nasty very quickly. Rox died, they all set on me, and I died in no time. Restarted from the checkpoint – which, as it turns out, the hostile NPCs were standing right next to! Died again. So I rushed over the next time to where Rox was to revive her. Died twice doing that. Eventually got her revived, tried again, Rox died again and so did I. At this stage half my gear was broken and I gave up (left the instance literally in my underwear!)

I’m sure it’s fine with a well specced 80, but unless I was doing something drastically wrong (and the placement of that checkpoint was not MY fault!) then yeah, it’s pretty impossible for a low level character.

I couldn’t get it to work in IE either, but what finally solved this was realising that among the many tabs I had open in Firefox, one was from when I linked my GW1 account.

Went into account settings / security as suggested by the poster above, then after making sure no other tabs were open where I was signed in to guildwars2.com, I hit “Disconnect” on the entries there and restarted Firefox.

After that, I could accept the terms and sign in to the forum with no error message.
