Stuck on Black Citadel loading screen

It’s pretty much all in the title. I teleported via a waypoint to the Black Citadel today and the game keeps on loading. I can hear the sounds of the environment, but the loading screen doesn’t go away. I’ve tried everything mentioned here, using the repair option on the GW2.exe, checked all my MSCONFIG and firewall settings to see if anything was interfering with Guild Wars; none of this helped.

I think my problem is a bit different though, because I have no problem logging in with any of my other characters. This makes me think it’s not an issue with my ISP but rather with the game itself.

I’d be appreciative of any help, thanks!

My main is an Ele and I think it’s one of those classes that can be incredibly frustrating if approached wrong. The attunements switching isn’t there as a gimmick or cool addition, it’s a necessity.
I’m a fan of being a support character so I put my points equally into water and fire with leftovers going into air – so far it’s been working nicely, giving me a decent amount of hitpoints and a powerful punch as well.
Make sure you start off as far from the enemy as possible. It’s usually start up with heavy hitting damage, so fire attunement. If the enemy is getting too close, use some escape skills like burning retreat or windborne speed. Gust works well too, pushing the enemy back, but keep in mind it’s a single target spell. The Ele also has plenty of slowing down spells such as unsteady ground, static field or frozen ground. If you see an enemy doing a massive, powerful attack, pop a blind on them to have them miss. Remember to use heals too, water attunement is really powerful in keeping you alive.

Additionally, remember to be aware of your surroundings – there’s nothing more annoying than dodge rolling out of one enemy’s way into a group of 5 more
