Guild Wars 2

Seems this has been going on for a while now and there really hasn’t been much help/support/advice or even a decent response from Arenanet, so please can we have one and know what you are doing to help resolve this issue as its spoiling the game for a very very large number of players.

Seems there are many large and growing threads about this issue which seems to be getting worst by the day,
Its not down to a single ISP, its not just Europe that’s effected but players in other country including USA.

These are just a few of the threads talking about the lag issues

Lagging here last few days too, will do a diag later

+1 for this.
I love my Asuran Guardian but i dont want to get it a legendary Great Sword atm as it will not really be noticed, and it will not stand out due to my size

Really Dislike this new Update.
As many people have pointed out it really separates those Elite Players and guilds from us standard players who rely upon PUGs to get through dungeons.
Without Voice comms etc PUG runs are really about trial and error being locked out of combat due to waiting for team to be wiped ect only adds to the rage in these such groups and causes random players to DC more then they normally would forcing re-runs etc.
This update has only broadened the gap between die hard players who are luckly enough to play the game as much as possible and those of us who for what ever reasons can only play the game a few hours a week.
REALLY BAD MOVE

Server : Whiteside Ridge
Dungeon : Arah
As above, event chain to open the gates is bugged. We had some people inside the gates, but when they leave the instance they now get ported outside the gates instead of inside.

I am really concerned with the way the market has inflated over the last few weeks.
I can only assume its from botters etc and its making it impossible for us normal players to be able to afford anything.
I really hope the devs are looking at this problem as if not it will price normal players out of the game and cause them a massive loss in playerbase both current and new….

I like many people here are fed up with the bots in game and the time it takes for Arenanet to act of us reporting the these Cheats! I know its no easy task for Arenanet and i know we would all like to see the game rid of these bots and we all want to do our part.
I have reported many bots in game but come back an hour later and they are still there!

So I think if someone it reported by a set number of players in a set amount of time then the game should automatic kick you from the game and freeze your account for an hour or so, this would at least disrupt the botters and slow down the farming

You could also make it so the more times you are kicked from the game the longer your account is frozen

Don’t Injure Yourself [DIY] is a friendly grown up guild whose roots started 8 years ago.
Our core members have been playing ‘online’ together in Guild Wars and other online games since the beginning we tend to meet up a couple of times a year at various lan events in the UK. Our guild has grown with each new MMO and we want to grow with GuildWars 2.

We are a Mature and grown up guild.
We play games because we believe they are fun and believe that playing with like-minded people aids the game experience.
We play for the social aspect and we are pretty laid back we have no rules on how much game time you have to devote and we won’t kick you for not logging in for several months due to Real life commitments.

We have a guild website, forums, Teamspeak and an IRC channel. We would like to welcome new members Playing GuildWars 2 on the ‘Whiteside Ridge’ world with similar outlooks into our guild.

All members are from various parts of Europe, but we players from further afield as we have a few members outside of Europe playing in Canada.

If you like what we’re offering please feel free to sign up to our forums http://www.diyguild.org and post your in game char into the correct thread, we will then contact you in game with a guild invite.

If you require any further information please post below

See you in game!

yes but what if your in an instance with no waypoint as i was?

Why is there no /stuck command like guildwars1?
I was in the instance the Battle of claw Island when i used Flashing Blade on a foe and got stuck in the wall.
I reported the bug and screenshoted it but i was unable to free myself.
This ment i had to leave the instance and lose all the progress i did in it!
Not happy
Is there a valid reason why this command is not in the game?

I already started a thread on https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Guild-Forced-to-change-server-loss-Influence-and-Tomes-of-Influence
As we had the same issue

@Xelonir.5921 Yes i know its explained on the wiki but the wiki was down for a good few days following launch and at the time of us transferring the guild over, so we were none the wiser.

After all said and done we didn’t have to move, we could have stayed put on the full server but we moved to help our guild grow and to help GuildWars 2 grow too. Ensuring our RL friends could purchase the game knowing they would be able to join us on the same world and benefit from being in the guild.
Because we have moved and because of the hype behind the game alot more friends and members of UK gaming community’s i am a member of have taken the plunge and purchased the game and are now playing the game alongside us, on the new world.
As mentioned on our guild forums many people who hadn’t purchased the game already were in doubt about buying the game as they were concerned about not being able to play on the same world as us, now we have moved they have all purchased the game

@BloodEagle.3809 yes this is what we mean

@Kirito.4158 unfortunately nothing was mentioned about upping the server caps when we moved and also it isn’t a risk we were willing to take.
As the Game gains momentum and reviews come in etc more of our RL friends want to join us and what’s not to say that those servers will not become full again?

Therefore we took the decision to move from ‘full’ world to a ‘medium’ world to ensure all of our friends who are buying the retail game (as digital sales are disabled) will be able to join us in a few days and for the foreseeable future

The whole idea behind us building a guild was for RL friends to play together and use the guild resources together. This we could not do while being split on different servers.

Our Guild has been forced to change servers 1 week after launch due to it being constantly full and new members not being able to join us on that server.
We took the decision to move to a less populated server to allow all our guild members to play together and its worked we now are less likely to be placed in the overflow servers and we are all on the same world and new members/friends can create characters on said world.
However we originally picked a server which unknowingly to us and many other players become full in a matter of a day or so, this split the guild and by the time we had already spent our Tomes of Influence and started to acquire guild influence and started spending it to get our guild established.

Is there a way we could get any of this influence back, as we will not be going back to that world for the reasons stated above.

Really Hope something can come of this as I’m sure our guild is not the only one which was forced to change server and by doing so we have also helped Arenanet by moving a bunch of players to a less populated world, taking strain of the ‘full’ world
