Guild Wars 2

sucks when an mmo is like smoking.. easier to quit with every patch….

a sure sign things are moving in the wrong direction

I was addicted in beta but im nearly fully cured, Couple more patches should do it.

I have changed my socks and flushed my toilet and that hasn’t helped either..

Sorry, The problem seems rather random as to when it will strike so its hard to track down what might help or what to avoid at this time.
All I know is its stopped me playing I log on and fight through my dailies but WvW is impossible when there is a queue as you drop out so often.

Problems include cant log in, Lag when in game, No guild chat, Crashing out of game.
Playing other games and everything is fine it is just GW2 problems which is making the game unplayable.
Even playing on US multiplayer servers i am getting a decent ping with no visible lag yet join a GW2 server and the game is unplayable.

Had my ISP support go through my connection and all is fine with written confirmation that there is no throttling on my line or any issues which I have verified on different tests.
EU Desolation
ISP Orange
From the UK

I remember in ye Olde days of Dark age of Camelot on the EU servers GOA had a similar problem that came down to a bad Switch somewhere in France that the traffic was routing through which gave somewhat similar problems we are facing now with game lag and disconnects due to packet loss at peak times.

Duron.9750:

The problem is still here………..

Yes it is and im fairly sure it is to do with the bad routing/Latency problems in Germany as when i run ping-plotter I see packet loss at the same time this happens.

Allow me…

Guild Wars 2 ?@GuildWars2

We are aware of and looking into the login issues that some are currently experiencing, thank you for your patience at this time. ^AT

So sayeth the mighty Twitter
At least we now know they know..we know …or something like that

Thank you to the OP..I needed a laugh while the servers are down, Erm you weren’t serious were you ?

Phew glad its not just me, Anet really need to work on their error reports as it always seems to throw up errors blaming the customers end.

EU: Desolation

You have closed the recipes, Click the triangles and the recipes will drop down.

Congratulations Tyrantis you seem to get decent drops however the threads were about those of us who do exactly the same as you but get hardly anything.
We don’t want loot upping we just want the same loot as you !

Yep Powercat seems like a dodge to me too and a great way to get rid of both the threads and bury the issues.

Has this been fixed for anyone yet ? I am still working with support on this but it has been better for the last few days.

Take a look here as this seems like a similar problem

Looks like the same bug as
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/error-code-42-1000-9001-4105-101/first#post1433395

Test the game ? ppffftt In GW2 the game tests you !

Pingplotter gets to 206.127.157.102 but cant get a reply after that for my server ip btw 100% packet loss.

Sorry Ashley it made no difference, However guesting on a low pop server makes it so I can see who is in the guild even if I still cant chat in /g

Would be helpful if people add server to see if this is an EU log in issue on high pop servers during peak times.

Ran the command quite a few times but with no difference.

Desolation EU here too and having same problem, I thought it was a problem with my ISP throttling at peak times but im not so sure now it seems to be more widespread.
Unless you are all on Orange too ?

Edit :- Just wanted to add the game isnt experiencing lag at all it just affects the chat and guild with login error popping up and friends going on and offline.

I had 4 or 5 PvP boosters I was playing with at the forge then to clear my inventory I deposited my collectibles and now they are gone?
Anyone have any idea what happened or where they went as they were not actually in the forge yet as the four forge boxes were empty and the boosters were in one stack.

I also have this issue with a few extras to it…..

The strange thing for me is it only happens in the evening! I can play all day time and it will work fine, but towards 6pm (uk time) I get the error and the above kicks in.

Just to say I am getting the same thing happening but one of the avenues that im investigating is throttling by my ISP (Orange) during peak times ie it happens to me between 6pm UK and 10/11 all other times are fine.

Bean.1247:

I have noticed my Warrior is no longer cursed with bad luck since the last patch but im not sure how long that will last for.

..spoke too soon and no it didnt last long at all.

For Colin and those posters who like to post how good their drops are I would just like to add I have at this moment 1,289 hours played and I have a total of 4 cores(varied) and 5 Lodestones with 195 badges from WvW.
I have tried to farm the corrupted lodestones to make a Corrupted weapon as I liked the style and thought it would give me something to work towards but after hitting stuff with full MF+Food buffs+booster and not getting anything some days just maybe a blue or two, Trying some days without MF and getting the same results im bored with it.
I stay for an hour tops, I go every other day or so never day after day, I play all over the place doing varied things PVE, WvW events and have fun playing but it seems that I will never be able to actually farm the materials to make my weapon that I started in November.
I dont feel rewarded for playing in fact I feel punished for playing the game how I want to as I dont do Fractals or dungeons and prefer to play in the open world or WvW.

I have noticed I have started to play less lately and have had to change guild as I was effectively in a one man guild of 36 active MMO playing friends who are all " Taking a break" until things improve.

A run of “bad luck” is one thing but even with the lotto I win a prize now and again.

Thank you for an update Colin, Im sure the truth is out there !

Just because we are paranoid it doesn’t mean THEY are not out to get us though.

please inform me of how d/d can get double the mf that a staff provide?

Perhaps through two daggers, both having MF on them, as opposed to one staff having MF?

Sigils of luck do not stack so its only 3% more and youd have to be a savant to notice a difference in drops…

^ now, there is a player with logic, common sense and knowledge.

3%+3%=6% on each weapon and every little helps if you are going to use it, Also if you are using two weapons you can run SoL on one while having 6% on the other then swap out when your stack is built.

Two important things to keep in mind when talking about sigils:

Same type sigils do not stack.
Sigils with a cooldown share the same cooldown with other cooldown sigils.

One important thing when talking about sigils is I wasn’t talking about sigils if you read it
Two weapons can have twice as much MF as one from upgrades.

The chests so far have been disappointing for me, Grey white and blue items from the chests with a rare yellow on a corpse.

So you know when its going to be a great item of course.

I got a crab meat from one yesterday…awesome !

Very good idea to simplify the process once the recipe is known, I loved levelling up my cooking the way it is now but actually using it is another matter completely.
I would wholeheartedly agree to a change that simplifies (if you wish to tickbox ) any known recipe so you can easily produce an item, I would also be shouting if you touched the discovery part and altered it from what it is now as that is what makes cooking fun.

i was told that the devs can find no problem with drops

Surprisingly they can find nothing wrong with Claw of Jormags ice shield either on the test server and can not reproduce the shield not appearing properly even though it is a problem on all live servers.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Claw-of-Jormag-Corrupted-Ice-Shield-bug-merged-threads/first#post1178437

I want to play on the test server where things ARE working properly so can I get a transfer

When im happy I don’t feel the need to discuss it on the forums yet when im not I tend to post and see if it is just me or if anyone else is feeling the same issues as I am.
I guess that comes from beta testing many MMO’s over the years and giving feedback on problems objectively.
The forums are a great source of information and conversely mis-information too, I read between the lines and get the most from the forums to get the best from the game sorting out any crafting, playing or character problems hints and tips I may have.

Any stats ie x% of players visit the forums or n% of forums users are unhappy are hyberbole “Most, All, Everyone” are over used when you can and probably should be speaking just for yourself but of course it sounds better when it concerns most players and that includes everyone on the server ;-)

For the record i am not playing at the moment as im working <cough> so cant play, Later I may be posting on one monitor and playing on the other so I will be having fun and being negative at the same time !

Desolation server every time the Dragon spawns it is like this too.

After 16 days and 10 pages I think it is now appropriate to ask for some kind of response to this thread.
It is now over 1 month since the issue was first brought up (and many closed threads) and we are still waiting for a real conversation with someone about this, Communication is key to customer happiness.

Transmute stones can indeed be used to move your armour/weapon skins around, At level 80 you would need fine stones that cost 200gems for 5

Make Fractals “lobby” an instance (not server bound) where you choose your tier before you enter and then you know anyone in the instance is there at your level.
This would then do away with the need to swap servers, Use LFG websites or any other trick to actually play.

Champion drops are as rare as red posts in these two threads, Veterans are worse despite the patch that was supposed to fix the drop rate in those two.
What it actually did was make the drop rate worse in open play across the board and still we hear nothing.

Its a pity we couldn’t continue the discussion in the discussion thread and keep this for the data, It might of made things easier.

Perhaps the mods could re open the discussion thread for this purpose ?

1 minute of someone playing the bell badly is plenty thank you, However I have no objection to being able to play to yourself for as long as you like.

Im not saying you play badly btw just in the hands of someone as musically talented as myself others may be under the impression I am trying to torture them

The fact that no one has deemed it necessary to respond to this thread makes me very sad indeed, One of the main ways to keep people happy is good communication with your customers.
Happy customers buy more and stay loyal in the long run and this thread is not full of happy customers, Even a post to say they have looked into it and it is working as intended would be preferable to silence and the speculation that follows.
At this moment I have decided to not support the game via gem purchases until such time as this thread actually gets a reply.
Watching and waiting but I shall not hold my breath !

Just adding my voice to the thread, Working towards crafting exotic armour for my Guardian is a lot harder than when I got my Warriors. Surely the second set should be a lot easier to collect the materials for as half the work is already done but it seems not now the loot rates have gone on a definite downward trend.

Female Asura warrior…For great justice here too
Rather disappointing tbh was looking forward to hearing it.

Have done Shatterer quite a few times over different Characters and have yet to get 1 crystal on either.

Not given up yet though

Im Scepter/focus and Staff and have the same sort of problems, Badges are very thin on the ground and im sure one of the main problems is not being in a group.
