Guild Wars 2

Issue ¹: Full maps / Unable to join a group-mates’ map due to an ambiguous network connection error “Network Error .”

Appearance/Location: This issue occurred continually in Auric Basin when attempting to join guild-mates, couldn’t join any player who appeared to all be on the same map instance of one another.

Steps to Possibly Replicate:
¹ Go to Auric Basin(other new HoT maps with large populations of players within them)
² Right click on a group-mate and press ‘Join in [map name]’
³ Network error appears “Network Error .”

Thoughts/Notes: My guess is this is an ambiguous error that is supposed to be displaying that the map instance is instead full, and not a network error — I was able to join the map of another player in a separate zone following this(which was a empty wasteland)

Issue ²: Using the item [Teleport to Friend] on someone within an instance that previously gave a “Network Error .” message(possibly full map if I am correct in my guessing here) – will not only NOT take you to the specified player in group and give you the same error you previously received “Network Error .”, but will also consume the [Teleport to Friend].

Appearance/Location:
This occurred in Auric Basin once for me following the previous attempts to simply, “join in Auric Basin” on a group-mate. I only had one [Teleport to Friend] left; however, so I was unable to test for replication.

Steps to Possibly Replicate:
¹ Go to Auric Basin(other new HoT maps with large populations of players within them)
² Use [Teleport to Friend] item and select a group-mate to teleport to the location of.
³ Network error appears “Network Error .”
⁴ [Teleport to Friend] should no longer appear in your inventory

Thoughts/Notes:
Again with all the new content and how full the map probably was at the time, it appears to me that it must be related to the map being full prior to me attempting to teleport to a group-mate. Regardless of whether or not this is or isn’t the case, this does bring up the bigger issue that item consumability is not dependent(at least in this case – but i can only assume that it extends to more than just this) on the success of the item being consumed fulfilling it’s intended functionality but instead on simply whether or not the item was clicked on or not.

I also want to note, that while i am unsure of how Overwolf loads information from the Trading Post for it’s “GW2 TP Watcher” from the gw2 app contest, it does bring up and show me values from it.(I am a database engineer/developer myself) So if it is directly pulling from my client, which i assume it may be for the purpose of time it takes to do so, it looks like this may be a visual bug. Otherwise if it is server-side that it pulls information from(i.e. ArenaNet databases), then i guess it could be numerous issues. Just my two cents though.

The trading post on my account, both from my personal Black Lion Trading Company Page “O” wont show anything even after waiting for minutes on end(10+). The same happens when going through an NPC in-game to try and access the trading post and waiting minutes on end. Nothing shows up, at best I got a ‘loading scroll icon’ temporarily when the trading post page first is opened at times when using the NPC, otherwise nothing. I can also confirm that this is for multiple characters(in my case, both the two characters I play).

Another note, I was able to access the Trading Post on Sunday(5/17) to buy some things, so prior to today’s patch.
