Guild Wars 2

Same error, connection doesn’t hold for more than a few minutes. Kicks me from instances or normal world PVE. Done multiple suggestions e.g. flushdns, vpn, reset router etc and nothing has resolved this. Chances are high given all the feedback above, that the issue is server side.

Refund Request put through for error code: 7:11:3:191:101. I’ve spent so much time trying to fix this and the game still refuses to hold its connection for more than a few minutes. Never had this issue prior to HOT.

Spicyhash.7605:

ET is a trash server tho and filled with scum guilds like RUIN who exploit/hack, why would anyone want to join?

Love it when you take the high road bud. Stay classy

Blix.8021:

He has a point, though. Who wants to transfer to a realm with RUIN on it?

The same people who transferred, joined RUIN and found that its bad reputation was unfounded and that aside from the handful who “ruined” RUIN’s reputation, the rest are just your average players who are fun to play with.

blink.4239:

And other servers in your position had the class to stand down for an hour.

Are you kidding me? This is a tier one matchup. An hour would ruin the server completely. Earlier in this post I showed my disgust for the people committing such exploits. Now I am stunned by how ridiculous some people are getting over this issue. Considering the fact that hundreds of innocent players took no part or had no knowledge of this, I don’t see why the hell we should subject so many to a huge disadvantage over the actions of a handful. I was around all night last night and screw you if you think I would let all my hours of hardwork go to waste over what some kitten did. You say the server should show class and we did by denouncing such acts. But I see zero reason that others have to suffer.

Because if you set the standard once, then hackers/x-realmers simply jump servers to maybe YOUR server, exploit the orb and force your server to stand down for an hour. How’d you like that?

sad that the integrity of so many are ruined by the actions of a few. I hope Anet fixes this bug/issue asap.

I’m from ET and all I can say is that if you can screenshot the hackers/exploiters name, report em and get em banned. Personally I haven’t been in the borderlands all day. I’ve been in EB the whole time, guarding everything from keeps to supply nodes and dolyaks and it pisses me off that despite all the hardwork other players like me perform, our reputation gets undone by a handful. So if you can find more names, I would strongly encourage reporting all these kitten. It would also be good if those names had guild tags showing which guild they came from…those guys deserved to be kicked and blacklisted from all guilds on the server.

It works both ways. I could say my server has a huge NA presence but not enough of an oceanic presence so why don’t you come over? The biggest thing about moving over is losing all your guild upgrades and having to coordinate with every guild member to move over. It would of course be different if guilds could take their upgrades with them but either way, try firstly ask yourself why you wouldn’t move over. Then you’ll find the answer to why big NA guilds wouldn’t move over either.

Sisho.5431:

Lol so because it is not a one night game and because it was just one night does not make my point invalid. Sounds like some people are getting a little butthurt to me. Our guys were able to hold off some of what are supposed to be the best guilds on your server, and we did it when both servers were at their prime on a Friday Night. You guys take score into account too much, learn to enjoy the game. You guys beating us overall doesn’t mean squat to me lol. I understand people like you can’t stand the thought of losing, but we of Synergy accept the fact that it is just a game and enjoy it. Just because we don’t have 24/7 coverage doesn’t make your server “superior.” It just means you will win in score because we cannot stop you all the time.

It seems people aren’t getting the REAL point.

Just like you said, we beating you 24/7, with a superior score etc etc doesn’t mean squat to you. Thats fine. Like you said, we have to learn to enjoy the game and accept that it is just a game. Don’t forget to tell that to many of your server-mates who seem to have been disheartened by the score (score doesn’t matter) or the fact we control most things (also doesn’t matter at all), that they should have fun and come back into the maps instead of leaving CD constantly with the undermanned buff.

@sisho Well I can legitimately say that I have never heard my commanders ever say on TS3, not to attack IoJ. I sometimes would hear it when we played against HoD where they would force us to focus on them instead of SBI but I have never once heard a call to focus on CD and ignore IoJ. If anything your screenshot proved how badly prepared CD was for a tier 2 matchup. The only reason IoJ was on the map? Because they had the numbers to defend. However you would rather we take on the bigger prey instead of the weaker one. You forget that we want points and if we can get points much easier through attacking less geared, undermanned and less prepared opponents from CD, then we will not hesitate to do so. But don’t be under any assumptions that we have refrained from attacking IoJ at all. In fact if you post a proper screenshot of only a coupla hours ago, you would see that ET took over the entire EB pushing IoJ AND CD back to their respective spawn points. But of course in your mind that is still somehow an “alliance” between IoJ and ET even when we wipe em off the map.

Perdan.1045:

Actually going through a portal does not make you “invisible” you get no buff for invisibility going through the portal.

The only way to really get rid of the rendering issue, would be to have every person in the map pre-rendered on your computer. Then when the mesmer drop happens, the chars are rendered.

The next set of posts would be “my game is so slow in pvp it’s broken”. Think about what you are really asking for, before you get what you don’t want.

I know it doesn’t make you “invisible”. My point clearly was that GW2 has rendering issues where large groups of enemies don’t show up until its too late. Especially if all of them load into a portal at the same time. In some ways it is “invisibility” despite the fact that the game intended not for it to be that way.

Hence I said that capping mesmer portals to a limited amount that may go through it, whether its a small amount like 5 or a medium amount like 10 would go a long way towards helping one of the MANY issues that rendering poses to the gameplay of WvW. And if organized guilds can organize enough mesmers to bring in an entire zerg through portals then good for em. But for the most part, portals especially for organized guilds at the moment, simply take advantage of one of GW2’s weaknesses.

a cap on the number of people who can enter a portal sounds good simply because of rendering issues where 40 people just dont show up right away. if anet could fix their rendering issues then i wouldnt have a problem with ports but because its kitten near impossible to fight invisible enemies, i think a cap on ports is needed. good teams will still be able to just use multiple mesmers to summon more ppl through multiple ports.

Most dedicated WvW guilds don’t really look at the costs anyway. Making it free will only help bigger servers dominate smaller servers simply because they get to use their gold on more siege weapons.

I can see where you are coming from because I know how frustrating it can be when pugs and smaller guilds don’t really contribute anything towards the war effort aside from manpower(even then their manpower is questionable because they don’t do anything but zerg around mindlessly). However there are too many variables involved in making upgrades automatic. A whole system would have to be put in place and I doubt thats going to happen.

puzzle jumpers. if its your own borderland then its no surprise. OR there is the possibility that your borderland WAS full but then an entire big guild decided to swap to a different map, leaving your borderlands quite empty.

Don’t worry the nightmare will be over in a few days time. Then ET will be going back to the tier 1 match ups where we will have our own nightmares competing against HoD’s night crew. I can see that CD does try harder during its peak hours but during its off hours it just loses everything. You need a night crew? So does every other server. But look on the bright side…if you thought ET’s night crew was bad, we’re only 1/3rd of what HoD can really muster during the oceanic hours.

Sisho.5431:

Lol we’ve got nothing to prove to them, Friday night in our borderlands there were a lot of people from Team Legacy as well as RUIN and we took care of them no problem that night.

Sadly this isn’t a one night game.

Zora.8437:

The solution is VERY easy…I believe to counter night capping and fix the issue at hand all arenanet needs to do is see which servers cap the most points during certain hours and pair up servers by prime times also along with rank…If one server earns more points durign a certain time frame match them up with another server whose prime time is at the same time keep the rankings similar at the same time…seems like a no brainer to me.

so who gets matched against the 24/7 max coverage of Henge of Denvari?

“The only thing keeping us out of the top 5 or 6 servers is the lack of players that play between 12am server time and 12pm server time. "

Isn’t that the problem with most servers though? Sadly it feels like there isn’t enough oceanics to go around. Would prefer EU-US server merges but I doubt Anet will make it happen.

Orbs, as many have suggested. Outmanned during the night, the last thing the enemy needs is an extra advantage with bigger buffs. Its bad enough fighting 2:1 ratios but its worse when the enemy is worth 2 enemies with all those extra buffs that it feels like taking an enemy one on one is near impossible.

i have had this issue for a long time. so i muted my game completely from the mixer. i havent seen a fix for it and since i’ve had this issue for a few weeks now, im assuming a fix isnt coming anytime soon.

i agree. invisible enemies are really hurting the game. whats worse is when teams/guilds/servers exploit the issue further. things like mesmer portals where 40 enemies suddenly go through it but you can’t see them as they appear and the next thing you know you are being slaughtered is just not fun. I accept mesmer portals as a viable strategy but its an unfair advantage when you can’t see the enemies coming out of it until its too late.

catapults is hardly overpowered. that is ridiculous and if ur a melee player, the minute u get hit by a cata as u hit the door is the minute u roll back, pull out ur ranged weapon and start shooting the door.

Phaedryn.3698

As an ET player curious about just how substantial we were out manned at night I decided to get on at 3 AM this morning and head out to a BL. One small problem, I hit a queue…not sure how that happened, considering our night crew was supposed to be non-existent."

I believe you. Eredon Terrace Borderlands was full to my knowledge. The only one though. We pooled every player we could find into there while leaving every other borderland pretty much empty including EB. Thats how you’ll get a queue. By pooling everyone you have on the entire server just to fill up one borderland. Hardly impressive when HoD can keep all 4 maps relatively filled most of the time.

And to the HoD saying that ET has given up…
http://imageshack.us/a/img15/3213/gw005g.jpg

We’re trying… but can only really be at our best in peak NA hours. Not everyone can play 24/7 and not every server has its backups ready to take over once we go to sleep.

Its weird to see how HoD went from accusations of the other two servers double teaming them, to now defending their major advantage during oceanic hours and saying that ..ET+SBI still have players on during those hours? Yeah sure we have players…at a ratio of 4:1 if that makes you happy. Yeah sure we defend what we got but we’re stretched so thin that we cannot defend everything and push at the same time. And I highly doubt HoD players have ever seen an outmanned buff for nearly 6 hours straight.

@samfisher

Send us some over :P

SKYeXile.2716:

didnt see any of the ET guilds tonight and we were on 2 maps tonight after we got over sbi borderlands we went over to green.

whatever handful of RUIN was online…about 20 of us or less were all in EB.

Credit where credit is due, HoD has many skilled guilds. They have numbers and they are organized. So to those from ET (which I’m from) saying that HoD isn’t skilled, then you are dead wrong. I’d like to think ET and HoD are on par skill wise just not quantity of player wise.

SKYeXile.2716:

@cardboard box, the guilds arnt asleep, this is their prime they’re just not showing up. and also IOJ and SOS are better fights, despite their numbers i know Southern cross and TKG atleast have the balls to get out there. ET just seems like a bunch of weekend warriors.

dont know about weekend warriors but I know ruin is trying hard everyday. i can attest to that. on a weekday we stormed to our assigned battleground of SBI and took a fair chunk back from having nothing. And we keep a continued presence in EB at all times. I also see other guilds really trying..FOE, Ph, DS, lotd, Thai, Pro..I see a bunch of em still trying hard so I give props to them for not giving up

"

I’m from ET, just wanted to say RUIN kinda sucks, but they’re big. Quantity > Quality with them."

@AnotherAsianPlayer

Not sure if you’re in RUIN or not but I’ve been in here for a few weeks now and the only zergs we have are when Archaos is on and he is herding PUGs to objectives. From what I have seen in RUIN, we constantly spend the most on upgrades, the most on siege weapons and we’re constantly on ts3 so we call out early and respond quickly. And yeah we always have guards posted. During the weekend we had a guy sit in Ogrewatch for 8 hours as a sentry. Just today, I myself and a few others were assigned to hold a supply camp and we sat there for hours manning the few sieges we had set up. So yeah….I’d love to think I’m more than quantity. Specially when I can see with my own eyes and hear with my own ears about the others who, just like me, sit around playing the objectives. So….Mr.AsianPlayer, while you talk big, can you really compare to how dedicate we are? Our hard earned gold goes towards defenses,upgrades and sieges. We do the kitteny jobs like guarding yaks and boring ourselves as sentries while PUGs simply zerg around following Archaos. When we do attack, we don’t just stand back like pugs waiting to retreat, instead we push ahead despite of our massive repair bills. So… Mr.AsianPlayer, are you simply one of those pug zergs? Because if you have never been in our TS3, don’t bother judging us when you don’t see a majority of us playing objectives while you simply follow the few that go around zerging.

:)

Smallpoxx.6935:

JQ is still better in ET tho.

hopefully we’ll get to settle that one day instead of through just words. if somehow JQ and ET were in a bracket against each other, I’m sure that would be an acceptable method of determining that match up. But all you have now are just words and to be honest, ET can just as well post their scores from last week where we scored over 300k. Nothing special beating on t2 servers. The real challenge has and always will be Henge.

SKYeXile.2716:

wtf is going on ET? i need people to kill, you have like 7 +100 member guilds where the hell are they? send IoJ or SoS in, this showing is pathetic.

:/ sorry seems most of the guilds are asleep. we’ve had the outmanned buffed all night. But sure you can have IoJ or SoS if you want. Only you wouldn’t be any happier since you’d have even less of a fight. Or did you not want to be competitive and just happily and boringly steamroll all day?

boobzooka.3521:

CardboardBox.6087:

HoD wins every match up during non-peak hours. Thats all. We on ET had nothing before our peak hours (literally no foothold in SBI and ET borderlands), took a whole lot back and clawed our way back up to a competitive PPT of about 250+ during our peak periods of full capacity.

Only reason SBI and ET are now losing is because we have noone on. So don’t give me that rubbish about “out-siegeing” and responding. Or were you oblivious to how much ground Henge lost during our peak hours? Oh and don’t start telling me that SBI and ET were teaming up. We were sieging Greenlake with not a single SBI keep nearby and they decided to send an entire force to take out our sieges at the ruins despite the fact it provided no advantage to them other than the fact we were occupying Henge forces from hitting their bases.

good luck turning that around by time our night crew get on again.

we’re not. im under no assumptions or delusions about that. and we cant do anything about it since we’re sending in thin air to our battlegrounds during the nights. what would u like me to say? good job? Yeah your night team does an amazing job. I’d like to be competitive at night during the hours I play but its unlikely to happen so if you want some congratulations for having a night crew then gratz. You beat thin air to pulp.

OP must be the sorta kittenthat gives servers a bad name. The very same sorta kittenwho will make a post next week about SBI and HoD teaming up on him and whining about how unfair life is.

boobzooka.3521:

Ljiona.9142:

I am pretty sure there is no server alliance between ET and Storm. Both are focused on objectives. If you hold all the objectives of course they are going to attack you, they are going to take the closest ones and move on.

Just strategical alliances, temporary. Like when we took sm from sbi yesterday morning, ET was rushing into sm courtyard through the unfixed NW wall and going straight at us, at the southern courtyard, instead of going for lord room from the north.

Point is, by now you should know that we will have sm. More beneficial for yall to deal with sbi at ogrewatch instead of heading into the brickwall. HoD wins every match because we simply out-siege everyone else, that and respond faster.

Don’t get so full of yourself.

“HoD is literally fending off two servers at the same time, the fact that they are staying in the game point tick wise….. If HoD gets third in this match up its only because they were outnumbered every prime time encounter by 2 top tier servers…. which is just fine, if thats how you want to get your wins.”

@Namu. obviously henge never speaks about their massive night weekday advantages where they have more night players during oceanic hours than both SBI and ET combined. They conveniently forget how big an advantage they have. They simply focus on things that don’t go their way.

Wrong HoD doesn’t say anything really about winning or losing… the majority of us just like the pvp. and 2v1 in this match up has been loads of fun. What I dont like is the fact that people seem to think since HoD is losing atm during primetime hours that they are some how lesser and this and that. But really we are just outnumbered primetime when 2 servers are focusing us. ET has alot of off hours players as well… and are actively trying to get more. SBI also has a huge off time base… the difference is those off time players aren’t as dedicated to WvW as the HoD night crews.

HoD holds as much as they can during the day while getting hammered by two servers, then clean up and take back at night.

Little side note ive never seen SBI at night with a outmanned buff. Only ET. So really its not that we have more combined, your night players just aren’t that dedicated. Dont know what to say. Just how the game is played and designed… same with the double teaming going on right now, its all part of the design. Roll with it or dont.

define primetime hours because i was on SBI borderlands 3 hours ago at 7pm est and we had nothing. at one point we took ascension bay only to have SBI zerg us and take it from us within a few minutes and then push as back to our spawn. I’d hardly count that as them helping us in any way.

chanw.1934:

And i think you know why you don’t have the number to take garison even with 5 golems. Because at least half of your active players are spawn camping hoD and attacking Greenlake.

As i have said, i don’t think the whole ET server is having a truce with SBI but certain guild that care to use 5 trebs on GL and spawn camping HoD even though they got pushed back everytime and not helping your server to claim lands is too fishy. they could have harrassing SBI territory to pull stress off your garison troops but what did they do? They attack Greenlake.

Fact #1 Henge has the biggest alliance of guilds and the most amount of oceanic nightcappers. You ask for a fair fight forgetting that the servers you fight dont have the same amount of coordination and numbers. Throughout all of the last few nights, we on ET have had nearly instant queues onto most of the battlegrounds including EB. That shows how undermanned we are and you complain about how we don’t push out of what we have. Give us the numbers, give us the organized guilds before you start asking for us to fight a war on two sides that at the moment isn’t tactically advantageous for us.

Fact#2 Asking us to push the garrison is ridiculous. We’ve taken Woodhaven many times, tried to treb the Garrison from it. However because SBI’s spawn point is right next to it, they take it back fairly easily. So why cant we make a full all-out assault on the garrison? Because you guys from Henge go around taking our supply camps. A good 10-20 of our forces stay back simply because they have to keep recapping our supply camps/protecting dolyaks. Is Henge going to stop their guerilla tactics? No. And because they keep doing it just as the point tally ticks over, it makes it even more important in terms of winning the game that we try take those camps back. So don’t expect us to push when you’re hitting us right behind. Find yourselves other fools to go zerging mindlessly.

Funny how Henge didn’t have as many complaints when they were winning comfortably.

86k , 66k, 56k

Anyone from ET/Ruin may aswell not read this as the only planing that goes into there startegy is … “just look at your map guys and follow my commander tag”

LOL multiple teams doing Multiple tasks … Archaos brain must be just fried reading this post….. my question is though “what is blue doing”

I write this to show [some] of the strategy SBI currently uses in Eternal Battleground hoping to encourage other servers to rethink their approach. I feel SBI is ahead in strategy and the meta-game at the moment.

I want EB battles to evolve and change more. We’ve already seen a change of HoD tactics and ET tactics in the last 48 hours. ET moreso since they’re fresh from a week long match where they didn’t have to think to win; I still feel they have a long way to go. I hope to see more.

Archaos isn’t our only commander. But while I agree he leads the zerg, his zerg is mainly composed of the pugs on our map. Alot of his guild members are given tasks elsewhere. Whether it be scouting (we had a guy sit at ogrewatch for 8 hours as a scout), hitting multiple points simultaneously, guerilla raiding advantageous positions for the enemies, etc etc.

But yeah I can definitely see a change in tactics. Specially when EB is a huge stalemate for the most part.

Its been a tough tough battle all week but thats whats expected of top tier wvw servers anyway. I know I personally spent half my day inside the dredge camp in a stalemate trench warfare type situation. Its been fun but as everyone knows, the action is in the borderlands.

As for accusations of double teaming in EB? Highly doubt it. Sure it may look that way with all the focus being on henge but there is also a saying that “the enemy of the enemy if my friend”. Maybe an unspoken truce? But either way it was tactically advantageous. Sure its more fun if there was a three sided war but this is after all a points game. So like any other server, we avoided a confrontation in order to maximize our point tallies. And I’m sure that was highly beneficial for SBI too. So yeah there was no truce, it was more like a strategic manouveur in my opinion. Stamping out one threat was always the easier option compared to fighting on two fronts (just ask Hitler).

Plus I definitely see no such truce in the borderlands at all.

So to the original poster that simply “wanted” to have more fun, sure its your prerogative to do as you wish since you bought the game. Just know that your commanders were only being strategic especially when the stats have shown and posted by Anet reveal that SBI and ET need a huge point lead because we don’t have the sorta oceanic queueing presence that HoD does. At the end of the week, its not going to matter who had the most fun or not, its going to be the final score that counts which will determine the winner of that matchup.

I’m from ET and wow i didnt know there was this much infighting. Didnt feel like there was this much hate within the SoS server cause it felt like all the hate was being directed at ET instead. Guess when we got shifted to a different group, you guys lost your target dummy :S

yeah. if not a 5 min timer then at least a 2 min timer.

Trust me the fun wasn’t in Eternal Battlegrounds. The real fights were in Isle of Janthir Borderlands where we had some epic battles trying to get the orb back all night long alongside the Thai Alliance, Phillipine Heroes and a bunch of other guilds. Great job to IoJ for holding us off the orb for many many hours despite our best attacks on your garrison over and over again. Was a fun night

Getting it now. Logging in and when I enter a zone I soon get booted off saying theres an error with a corrupted file.

twitter update says they’re aware. hope its fixed soon

yeah i cant login to the game. says connection failed.

Well 100g does make it more exclusive in order to prevent a whole bunch of commander icons messing up the map as they run around. I’d say 100g and a certain number of kills in WvW or time spent in there before the commander book is available to said buyer.

definitely enjoyed that episode where SoS took our orb. Was around for that and I was pleasantly surprised to be able to have some fun again as opposed to the flat out boredom most of the time in WvW. I tip my hat to SoS and IoJ and hopefully their alliance will make things alot more interesting over the course of the next few days.

Thrumdi.9216:

Like I said in another thread, I’m up for “screwing” Oceanic players if that what it takes to save WvW for North American (and European) players.

The combined NA and EU player base dwarfs anyone in Australia/New Zealand. ArenaNet will do what they have to do to save this huge amount of paying customers.

I know it sucks, but that’s capitalism.

Not sure what EU countries you are talking about because the timezone differences affect them too. Should they have to stay up later or sleep earlier because NA players want it during their peak hours? You’d have to screw over the whole of the Oceanic zone including all Asian countries and the EU countries in order to make it an NA only server. And even then many NA players who work late and come home so they can only play at weird hours would be affected. So when you think about it, your lil group of NA players who play during peak hours aren’t actually bigger than the weird hour NA players + NZ+AU+Asia+EU players combined.

This is not gonna change, GW team why do u let this continue?
I dont care what u do, just to SOMETHING. I cant imagine THIS is what u had in mind when u thought about WvW.

I have some idea’s but u wouldnt care for it, so just fix it however u will, but FIX it.

its actually a closer score than some on other servers >_>
