Guild Wars 2

Rather you are lucky guy. I still fight with issue.

I just tried mapping hostname to IP address.

No changes.
I’m still being kicked because of connection error.

Hello.

I’ve got problem too. Yesterday I couldn’t download the update because of connection erros, but finally I did it (some kind of miracle?). But now i can’t play any character on any map, because after few minutes i’m kicked due to connection error.

I checked my firewall.
I reseted my router.
I tried by static IP and changeable IP.
I forwarded GW2 ports.
I flushed DNS.
I tried to play on Google Public DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4).
I tried to play over port 80.

Only last two works, but it causes lags that make playing disagreeable.

ISP: TP S.A.
Location: Warsaw, Poland
Server: Fissure of Woe

Uhm, it’s only 1½ year old.

Oups, right. My mistake. But i think it’s not such big innovation that we have to wait for years.

But the GW2 is more than 2 years and 6 months old. I think it is enough to improve download process. How to imagine, when after next 2 years new player join and have to download all these files?
As daros said I thought about something like Blizzards solutions. (And following by Red Queen; I compare play while downloading rather to watching streaming film. )

I’ve just bought a GW2. My download speed is only 120KB/sec. I am calculating that it will be downloaded within about 45 hours (if it’s 20GB). I am patient, I was playing GW and I believe (hope?) it’s worth to wait. But not just me have such problem.

Why couldn’t we play while downloading?
