This went from a once a week occurance around the halloween events to now not being able to log in at all for two days. I missed my story mode group and am getting pretty fed up. The only advice offered in my ticket was to do a fresh video card driver install.. which changed nothing. This is the only game I own having an issue.
ANet, please post something.. anything that lets us know you are at least looking into getting a fix for this.
Love the game, but I’m about to the point of moving on.

This is getting ridiculous. Four reboots in a row and counting this morning. Last night there was no issue at all. All other graphic intense games I play at max settings have no issues.

I have never, at any level, had an issue in pve as a thief. They can really kick some kitten and you can travel pretty much anywhere you want at a lot less risk than the other classes. The only things that ever give me trouble are ranged champion mobs.

For whatever reason it would occasionally allow me to ctrl-esc and close it manually, after that everything played up – directx stuffed up and i couldnt open any other games(which worked perfectly if i run it before gw2 crashes), norton internet security packed up on me, and if i tried to shut down or restart computer normally, it did absolutely nothing but beep at me….
So i figured maybe there was something gone wrong in system files, either that or a virus, which managed to get through norton. So spent yesterday arvo reinstalling windows xp. I didnt reinstall the game since its on a seperate HD. Anyway the short of the matter is, last night it worked first time without an issue. This morning however, its just black screen after black screen everytime i try start the game….
I did notice in the Arenanet notepad file in the game directory, is a list of all the crashes, and all of them are basically saying disk read error of gw2.dat
I am suddenly having this EXACT same issue. Even the beep when it won’t let me restart the computer unless I manually shut it down on the tower. =(
{edit: nvidia geforce gtx 260 – drivers up to date. And to clarify, this happens when I click the Play button. I can’t reach character select.}

The hype, from the Guild Wars 2 website:
“These key decisions not only determine the story’s direction, they also change and update your home instance, a personalized home area located in your character’s racial capital.”
The reality:
A few additional npcs will be scattered in your home area that have no personalized content or effect whatsoever

Me after transmogrifying all the exotics last night. Probably done for awhile, but maybe changing the bandit mask back to the good ’ol level 1 hood at some point.
Mostly duelist armor, with some low level shoulders and a pirate mask.
{edit: added pic with weapons. charr daggers for life! }
