Guild Wars 2

I am having this same issue, except the game keeps trying to load my main avvie into Siren’s Landing .. even though I had left there and had been back in Divinity’s Reach for a good while before a hard D/C yesterday mid-afternoon.

All my other avvies load in just fine, it is ONLY my ranger that is stuck in some sort of crashing loop that I can’t seem to get past.

I have sent in a bug ticket, I am trying to be as patient as I can, but I keep checking. lol

This same thing happened last year some time and she was getting sent back to Cursed Shore, then crashing out, even though I had long left there. They helped me out and eventually when I logged in she was in DR by the front portal … I could have cried.

Not just EU and Western NA…I am in Atlantic (Eastern coast) Canada and with Eastlink as my provider. I have been having these issues for 2 weeks now. After logging in right after the patch I had difficulty even reaching Seis and getting the box to open when I clicked on them. Daughter could not even leave Black Citadel without crashing, or just lagging out the portal then dropping under the map. When they said they were taking the game down to fix it, then the rollback, we figured that that was what the problem must have been….surprisingly nope, it didn’t touch whatever the heck this is. :\

Game is pretty nearly unplayable in some maps such as Cursed Shore and Silverwastes, and in areas such as Black Citadel and The Grove..and others, but those seem to be my worst.

I have run with boss zergs for years with NO issues until that patch 2 weeks ago. Now just constant lag, skill lag, rubber banding, zero ping, FPS drops .. and crash after crash after crash.

I am having this same issue ever since the big update last week, and it definitely started before the rollback as I lagged out of Black Citadel and fell beneath it outside the portal and cussed the lag all the way to the bottom. lol

I have ping drops to zero .. lagging, flashing skills .. crash after crash .. lag so badly I don’t know where my avvie is at times. Some places are much worse than others for some reason. Black Citadel, The Grove, Silverwastes are the 3 worst and can give me a LOT of crashes trying to get removed from the areas and back to someplace like DR, which seems to be fine there for me.

I can be lagged to a stop showing a ping of zero, and still see other avvies zipping by me as normal and chat moving along just fine. Sometimes I can move almost normally, but even get close to a temple boss and lock up and start crashing.

I tried to get the jumping puzzle daily, after lagging my way in, which didn’t start until I had jumped to the bottom, it took me 3 crashing attempts to get WP’d outta there once I finally made it.

I have cleared my appdata temp, started a fresh local.dat, called my internet provider, rebooted my router ( even bypassed it ) and internet, ran repair, swapped between 32 and 64 bit client .. it is ONLY GW2 that I am having these issues with and it started with the big update.

My other games are fine, I am streaming movies and TV shows with no issues, websites are loading in a flash .. I hope you sort it soon as it is incredibly frustrating and I MISS being able to play this game and run the temple bosses.

Sandra, you are not the only one having these issues, there are posts in the Account & Technical forum as well as on the GW2 FB page about it .. and seen some chatter in map chat about it.

Today was probably my worst day with this since the patch Tuesday. Took me half a dozen tries to finally get back to, and stay in, Silverwastes to be able to move my warrior back to the relative ‘safety’ of Divinities reach. Incredibly long loading times, if I made it at all .. and once I did insta crash, with those codes and then difficulty in getting back in. Finally must have gotten lucky, as the SW map loaded, and didn’t crash me out trying to move her to DR. Once there I just threw my hands up logged out. :\

I get EXACTLY the same error codes, crashes, etc .. and when in, lag like I’ve never seen before .. truly the game is unplayable pretty much at this point.

I have tried everything I can think of, ran -repair, rebooted router and internet, by-passed the router, had my internet provider check things for me, swapped out the 64bit for the 32bit client … nothing has helped. :\

I am having the same issues. It causes problems trying to WP, odd crashes to desktop, got stuck in some crashing loop in Cursed Shore yesterday .. game kept trying to send me there when I had been in DR for quite a while before I logged out.

Some places it is much worse than others for me. Cursed Shore, Silver Wastes .. even The Grove is crazy laggy and crashy. Been doing this since the update/rollback and is incredibly frustrating. :\

Update: I sent in a support ticket around the time of this post..have checked periodically since and just now she started at CS screen then bounced to DR.

To whoever pulled my girlie outta the loop, thank you so very much!! <3

I had my warrior to Cursed Shore to get the vista above the Anchorage WP. I then went to GH to collect and then to DR to clean my inventory, leaving her at the WP by the bank. Logged to character select screen, then back in with her as I realized she is my crafter for making superior stones.

Except .. the game now tries to log me into CS .. then crashes the client to desktop. I logged completely out .. rebooted my compy and still when I tried to log her in the game, for some reason, tries to send her to CS when she was long gone from there when I went to character select.

My other avvies seem to be fine, I’ve logged them in and they arrive in DR with no problems.

She JUST collected her 4th birthday gifties and got her spiffy new back piece too. My girlie needs saving!! lol

It isn’t just you. I started getting this message, every couple of minutes or so, yesterday. I asked in DR and others were getting it too .. then asked in guild chat and some there as well. I have no idea what it means, though. I can still access the guild panel, have visited the guild hall and done a few things while there and all guild chat seems to be working as normal. So dunno what is up with it.

You are not alone .. SAME thing just happened to me! I worked bloody hard for those titles too, thankyewverymuch!! I had no titles and was down about 1,000 AP as well.

I got all freaked out about it .. and was about to post a ticket .. when I remembered reading about the last time this happened (not to me mind you that time :P ) and that someone said to log out and then back in on another avvie. That worked .. she had all AP back AND her titles. Then logged back out and then in on the original avvie and she had all her stuff back as well. My achievements page showed 3 panels with various titles earned and AP .. as if I had just earned them. O.o

That letter was a real heart stopper. When I think of all the work that went into my GWAMM and my 50/50 HoM ……. breathes into paper bag … I am glad to have them back!!

Neural.1824:

I’ve never set foot in GW1, but going off what I’ve read in the forums, as well as having watched my wife play GW1, I get the feeling that what is missing is the “my world” feeling.

That emotional attachment that let’s you step into your character and say “this is my home. This is where I grew up, and these are the people I call friends”.

GW2 is “just a game”.

That’s IT!! You know, almost from the start of GW2 I, and nearly everyone I know from GW1, have said that something is ‘missing’ from it. Some indefinable ‘something’ that I just have never been able to put my finger on. But .. that’s IT exactly!

Somehow, I’ve just not gotten that sense of this being MY world, filled with lovely intangible threads that emotionally bonded me to the first game, my avvie, my story .. they just haven’t been in this one to bring me to that same sense of being a part of it all.

Every time I fire up GW2, I hear that grandly awesome music on the character select page, and for a few moments I feel it .. then, I enter the game and it just disappears for reasons I just don’t quite get. Thing is .. I really do enjoy the “game”, I just don’t feel emotionally connected to it in any way near what they nurtured in GW1.

I think part of it was how I was introduced to it. At the end of GW1 in Ogdens Benediction, it would be my heroes children who would continue the adventure. I had expected something much more different, than what we got, to connect us to our ‘ancestor’. I was excited with the first storyline, finding the parents and thought we might be going that way .. but, it was a total letdown.

I wanted the first part of my personal story to lead my character to the Hall of Monuments .. the one filled with her ancestors accomplishments .. to come to understand her connection to that person and their ‘heroic’ deeds and to accept her destiny as now chosen to step into those very big shoes. I wanted something like, the Order of Whispers (who’s Master had been allied to this hero) had followed the lineage from that time, prophecies foretelling of a time when a hero would have to rise again, one born of an honorable lineage. This family watched over until the time would come and the hero reborn. Maybe she had been orphaned, or just troublesome, needing guidance and mentoring .. grooming to understand her importance and struggling with that, until she came of time when she was ready to find out who she truly was and finally led to the HoM.

OR something .. anything .. other than .. arrive ingame .. here’s your token .. go get your goodies. :\

I feel like a HUGE chance to really pull in, emotionally, a lot of the GW1 players was missed at the start by doing this. There is an amazing emotional investment by a lot of the players for GW1, which could have been used to weave the story of the second together, and continue it onward.

Also, I miss my alliance of wonderful friends that I played with for 7 years. We all started on the same server, but eventually most of the guilds drifted away. We were a wonderful group of guilds, some total PvP’ers, others total PvE’ers, and everything inbetween, generally helpful and friendly and fun, and we’d do things together like take a full Paragon team into FoW … just to see how fast we could complete it. lol I love them dearly and greatly miss my connection to them.

Shadoekin.3928:

Still rooting for Abaddon to be the source of her madness and the thing staring back at her through the void.

After all if Anet almost had an Abaddon fractal, they probably already have all the assets for him and got some story link for him to GW2…somewhere.

Also his spheres were that of magic and knowledge, so it kinda fits.

…………….

.. after my own heart.

I feel the same way about it. And it would be such an awesome redemption of the entire living story that I would give them a pass on all that led up to it.

I know, I know .. everyone says it’s impossible, or just too cool to happen, yet I don’t believe that to be set in stone. Good writers can always find an interesting way to turn things around, some clever ‘out’. Scarlett saw ‘something’ .. and I cannot believe that a dragon, no matter how powerful, would cause her to go off the rails like she has, it speaks of something more powerful, soul destroying to do that. At least that is what it seems to me.

After all .. I took out Shiro twice, after ‘killing’ him fo’ sho’ the first time … and the same with the Lich. Defo killed him and yet .. there he was again and in a particularly foul mood from our previous meeting. So, I hold out hope that this could actually be. I can STILL dream. lol

They are welcome to rollback and take the ones I got. I bought and opened a ton of those gifties off of the TP looking to get a Ho Ho Tron. I gave up after opening 3 stacks of EACH size thankyouverymuch .. and bought the mini off the TP as the prices had dropped a LOT.

Every time I got a charged quartz I was thinking of them as junk as I have NO plans to craft Ascended anything. -.-

oloap.9765:

lol openned 1000 giant gifts Yesterday hoping to find dwayna recipe, and noticed all that Yellow crap flowing into my inv.
at the end i had 79 charged Crystal, 2 dwayna 1 grenth and an unbreakable chor bell. btw is that used only for celestial armor? they better don’t ban me for theyr mistake lol i don’t even have a use for that..
if is true what you say that Crystal will be used for new legendary and theinfo leaked thats really awful.

I did the SAME thing, hoping for a Ho Ho Tron! I bought 3 stacks of EACH size of giftie, not to mention the extras I traded sweaters and junk for. I finally gave up and bought one because the prices on them had dropped! ahaha

I got a bunch of those charged crystals and they are welcome to have ’em back as I do not plan to use them and really have little interest in making the costly Ascended items.

Zayd Akira.1942:

… didn’t abbadon originally get his godly powers from an old spider-god? …

Thalador.4218:

Yes, it’s highly suspected it was some spider-related deity that Abaddon supplanted, called Arachnia. Problem is, knowledge of Arachnia currently only comes from unused GW1 PoI locations found in the gw.dat – so it’s not confirmed to be canon. However, there was a server named Arachnia in one of the very early BWEs… very interesting.

Oh really? I have either forgotten this or never knew it.

Now THAT would make for an interesting storyline for the Scarlet character. Not that she came upon Abaddon but that she came upon whatever was left of the spider-god, seeking revenge or rebirth through this creature that had pierced the veil to where this dethroned ‘god’ had been in ‘stasis’ .. waiting … for the right vessel to come along.

Suddenly makes me wonder if that was why some aspect of the Abaddon history had been the proposed FotM. hmmm Oops .. sorry Evon. lol

And yes .. I know .. it’s WISHFUL thinking!! But it’s something I’d like to see, anything that hooks onto those threads that kept me loving, and playing, GW1 nearly daily for the best part of 7 years .. and .. got me to buy the Collectors Edition of GW2 in anticipation of continuing the grand adventure. Except …. it’s been not so much of one AT ALL …. >.<

Zaxares.5419:

You know… If ANet revealed in the next update that when Scarlet peered beyond the Dream, she actually gazed into the dead face of Abaddon and THAT’S why she went mad… All is forgiven.

Agreed!! I mean it IS a hybrid, but a hybrid of what and what? .. and not much is more “toxic” than Abaddon’s energy, anyone who explored the Realm of Torment area’s could see that. That eye pattern is also on the Margonites .. and there were facial changes on Varesh as it went along (though didn’t make it that far). Does make you wonder .. and hope just a little. lol

What an awesome spin that’d be! Definately forgiven .. and given a pass on alllll previous LS/W. lol

Ahhh .. happy sigh .. We can dream.

Actually, to me, it reminds me a LOT of Abaddon. Which I realize is impossible .. but still, it kinda does. o.o

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/File:Abaddon%27s_Gate_mission.jpg

I took him on more times than I can remember, between 15 avvies of my own and helping others in that mission in GW1. Not a face you forget. ahaha

Yes you can. For a long while my daughter and I shared a computer. She has always had her own account and I’ve always had mine. We just logged into the game with our unique login details. Eventually we got her her own compy so that we could play together, though.

I also logged in here to say how much I agree with every point the OP makes. And I feel the same as Pixelpumpkin.4608 .. I loved that time as well.

I have had this building frustration with the game .. the game is feeling “weighty” almost worklike in some ways. :\

Something that was pointed out to me recently :

“I log into my game .. I do whatever daily needs to be done .. I check what I have to do for any 2 week content and get as much of that done as early as possible, just in case I can’t get in for some reason to finish it. I check to see if there is any other content that needs to be done for any longer term/monthly content. I farm up materials I need .. craft for a bit .. sell what I can .. check the shop for any new items .. the best stuff, of course, is premium ingame currency but they do allow you to get some of that via ingame methods so I can get some of the items, it just can take a while. I visit with friends .. then …. I log outta my Facebook games …. and into Guild Wars 2 .. where I ….. do pretty much the SAME things.”

Yeah … kinda broke my heart a little bit when they said that. :\

You stated above that you ‘only WvW’ …

“Zorac.1723: Sorry but wrong.

3) I only WvW, monthly/daily are supposed to be able to be done while I play, this cannot be"

IF you dislike PvE so much there ARE other ways of getting Ascended gear .. like actually running Fractals dungeons. Jumping daily/monthly PvE hoops for Laurels to get Ascended anything seems counter to doing what you enjoy. It is not as if this requirement (crafting this time) was added to the PvP monthly.

Don’t fall back on the ol’ I only WvW/PvP and then complain about not being able to get something that is attainable via effort in the PvE world. I never complained about the WvW requirement .. I just said ‘nope .. not gonna happen’ and stuck with my dailies. I did kvetch a lot about dungeons though .. I just kept it to this side of my keyboard. hehe

I never thought I’d see the day that I would say this .. but .. seriously .. I kinda like running a Fractals set .. you might too AND you build up the tokens pretty quickly. And I am offering this suggestion in the nicest way I can.

You know there IS a Monthly that is PvP specifice .. yes?

I haven’t seen anyone PvE inclined thrashing on the floor boohooin’ that they can’t do the PvP Monthly because it’s got PvP stuff in it. That’d just be …….. silly. ahaha

I couldn’t understand why they stuck a PvP type requirement into what is the PvE Monthly .. but didn’t include a PvE requirement with the PvP Monthly. The screams would have been deafening I am sure.

I actually didn’t get a monthly in again until this February because of Fractals being included .. dungeons are NOT my thing .. but .. I sucked it up like a good li’l buttercup and ventured in with friends who are doing them …. it wasn’t so bad and I got it done! Had there been a WvW req it would have been another missed month as I haven’t really enjoyed my trips into WvW territory … people screaming obscenities over my nearly dead avvie while going in for the ‘finish them’ move … um .. no more .. thanks. O_O

This month looks even better!! It’s definately PvE friendly in the best sense and I’m going to actually enjoy finishing this one up!

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Regarding-the-new-Orrian-boxes/first#post1316423

That partially answers my concern that I posted above, but I am more concerned with the amount of gold I could potentially make. Not from the mats .. though, I did sell 2 of them .. but especially from the large amount of the Unidentifiable Objects .. I got a LOT of them. I did as iruleds.2591 did and spent a few hundred K on those boxes .. I wanted the mini .. turns out I got 4 (thought it was 3 but just checked before posting this).

I just want to know that this is intended .. that it’s okay to sell the stuff .. that it is NOT considered an exploit to do so .. that whole snowflake incident has me panicky about this .. I LOVE my account/game and worked hard to get to this point. :\

Fergles .. Thank you SO much .. that partially answers my question. I was concerned with the amount of Karma I got back but honestly even more concerned when I saw that I could potentially make some a bit of gold from these .. I truly panicked !! :\

I just spent a whole lot of my Karma points that I have been racking up with no place to go, on a couple of hundred of the Orrian boxes. I wanted the mini and got 3. lol

They give back a LOT of Karma so I used that for more boxes .. also .. they give a HUGE amount of those Unidentifiable Objects that sell for quite a bit at the merchant. I’ve got about a stack and a half of them at the moment in my inventory.

What I am concerned about is this … is this as intended?? After the entire snowflake recipe incident I am VERY hesitant to sell those, though I did use up the various Karma items for the points to get more boxes.

Not to mention I got a handful of various mats that could sell for a lot on the TP. Again .. not selling anything until I find out that this is okay to do so .. from an OFFICIAL source, please. Sorry .. but my account means a lot to me .. I’ve invested years into it if you count the work I did in my GW1 game to get here.

Really appreciate an answer .. thanks so much!!
