Guild Wars 2

Just wanted to let you guys know a bunch of us in our 500 man Guild are unable to login to the game after taking the May 28 patch. We’re all getting the login server unable to connect error and have been getting it for the last 20 min.

I checked my DNS client and it was already set to automatic so this fix didn’t work. Is anyone else having this issue?

This issue is not resolved yet. I have been having this issue off and on as well I normally run the client with no overlays or special launch commands. My Windows DNS Client has always been set to auto and I have all the windows updates. I can usually but not always resolve the issue by logging out of the game but not exiting the launcher and relaunching the game but it’s somewhat annoying. I have no other software running that would conflict and my firewall is set so that GW2 is a trusted app and has no restrictions placed on it.

A bunch of people in my guild just got kicked offline and we’re all getting the same unable to contact login server error.

Fun; several hours of fighting and numerous rezzings of others to be cheated of a fair reward by the Developers!?

Some received vast riches.
Some a handsome reward.
Some were cheated of a fair reward and far to many saw nothing for their efforts.

That is not funny.

Um with all due respect I think you may have missed the fact that Anet promptly addressed the issue of those that due to event issues did not get a chest would get one. The reward chest was sent out to affected players by Anet Support yesterday.

As far as timing of one time events I think weekends are usually best and if possible in the future a 24hr 1 time event might make more sense so that people in various timezones can all enjoy a shot at it. Exact structuring of 1 time event timing is up for debate on the “best” way to handle it but I think Anet did a good job of addressing the immediate concern regarding those who participated but were impacted by “issues beyond their control” as it were due to the popularity of the event.

We’ve been having similar problems as listed above in the Cliffside Fractal and we’re up to lvl 20. At this point the issue with the massive add spawn that does not despawn each time the boss is dazed on the Final Seal has gotten ridiculous if we get this Fractal we pretty much just go back to the lab and restart. We have been able to complete it but it takes 30+ minutes on just the final seal and some insane tactics to get it done to the point it’s just irritating. If you need time to fix the fractal it’s cool just take it out of the rotation until the issue is fixed. Fighting a challenging fight is one thing fighting a bugged fight is just plain frustrating.

This would be really nice because my group is up to Fractal lvl 19 and still no ring whereas my one guildy who shall remain nameless has 3 rings while the rest are suffering in our group so at least 1 for sure ring would be nice for just a little resistance. As was mentioned by the OP since they are Account Bound it’s not like it’s a huge deal and the type of ring you get is still up to RNG.

My group has had no problems in fractals until we got up to lvls 8 & 9 and now whenever we get to the 3rd Fractal in the group somone gets DC’d in that fractal with a crash. This has happened 4 times forcing us to redo fractals 8 & 9 series. We have the same players each time and have not had this problem at all prior to getting past lvl 8. 3 different people have crashed so this is not a player specific issue.

I’m glad this thread is here so let me give you the general feedback I’ve been hearing from my guild. Where the feedback is just mine alone I will note that. I’m an officer of a 500 person guild on Ehmry Bay.

In general the feedback on the patch and Lost Shores has been:
1) Regular new content is cool and the progressing story captured the interest of alot of our players.
2) The scavenger hunt was interesting and we’d like to see more of that. The Halloween scavenger hunt for the book backpiece was a big hit btw.
3) Having some of the NPC’s get “broken” where the become non-responsive was frustrating and many of our players never finished it due to the issues with the Lagos underwater guy and his chest being bugged for most of the event.

-Suggestion on that: Bugged NPC’s/Dynamic Events are frustrating if there was a way for you guys to “push the reset” on a particular NPC or event causing it to go back to a default or start state without requiring a restart of the whole server that would be awesome.

4) The lag in the battle with the Ancient Karka for whatever reason was mainly bad only when we were around the geyser wall in the middle of the zone. Once we were past that the lag went away for the most part.
5) The new zone is interesting and we’d like to see more reasons to go back to it so it doesn’t just become another zone.
6) The Fractals of the Mists Dungeons are awesome!! I can’t express how much people love these things please consider adding more of them. The increase in difficulty as you go up with higher challenge higher rewards is very cool.
7) There is a bit of an issue with people getting disconnected in Fractals not sure what it is but it kinda screws up the group because you can’t bring that person back in once they get disconnected in order to continue. If there is some way to allow them to re-enter if they get disconnected inside without having to start over that would be great. We had this happen twice on our 3rd fractal of a series causing us to have to start over because someone was disconnected on the transition between the 2nd and 3rd fractal.
8) Lastly, kudos on jumping on the disconnection at the video after killing the Ancient Karka issue we had at least 5-6 guildies who had this happen to them and the chest vanished before they could get logged back in.

It wasn’t just fractals we had almost 50 players online in my guild and just about all of us crashed. I was with a guild group doing Rata Sum Fractal and we had people in Lion’s Arch, Lost Shores, and WvW who all crashed at the same time.

Looks like they’re going to give us a peek at a new PvP map in about an hour via twitch.

Jonathan “Chap” Sharp is going to show off a new PvP map–the Kodan Dojo–on our Twitch TV channel. Watch it live today at 2:00 PM PST: http://www.twitch.tv/guildwars2

In response to the OP and others annoyed about the Clock Tower JP it is NOT part of the Emissary of the Mad King Title Achieve see Anet Dev post.

My main is a Guardian and with all due respect to the idea of moving the skills around it’s very frustrating even after several days of trying to get used to the combo of keys I used to press and having to reach farther from WASD to hit 4 2nd in my combo when I used to hit 2 2nd in the combo. Please consider changing it back the way it was.

Just try reaching from D to the 4 key while in the middle of heavy combat on the Cursed Shore or in an Explorable Dungeon and you see what I mean. It’s much easier to reach from W to 2 for when you pop the skill. So Arenanet please seriously consider this request.

For me it’s a strong yes I’ve put in close to 300hrs and I brought my Hardcore WoW guild over and we’re all having a blast.
