Guild Wars 2

Hi,
Same error. It seems right to say that I didn’t have any latency problem at all but I just get the error 7 while the client is showing the Lion’s Arch screen.
It’s totally like what happened on the patch before this one…

Not sure if my issue is related to that, but whenever I try to start the first instance of Tangled Paths I get disconnected with connection error 5 or 9 at random, I see the loading screen then bam white wall plus error code…. Is anyone else experiencing this same issue?

Reduce the postprocessing from the option(?)

Based on the image I buil from your description it was LAG!!!11!!!11oneoneone
It usually is on player end, and being you, downed, quite far from the guys who were stomping you might be an hint of it. It’s also fair to say that the latest patch(es) brought a lot of issues about connectivity. My precious advice is, let’s wait to see if there is something they can fix about these issues.

let’s not forget that if you find a hiding spot, you have to jump or move every 30 seconds or you’ll be kicked for inactivity

Probably because you as villagers are not supposed to hide, also you get credit for that activityonly if you interact with the opposed party. So villagers have not to just hid but they have to do the gathering events on the corners if they want to survive the night.

Might be DDOS attacks, it’s completely stopped for me now.

Was Europe involved in it as well?

EU servers are having this problem aswell if that’s what you mean!

Yep, playing on an EU server I noticed I got the error 5 message quite often, that’s why I was asking if the DDoS attack has reached Europe as well.

Are you telling that there are players that want to play that content as it is intend and not a bunch of rushers-suiciders running to the courtiers spawn point just to end the game as soon as possible? Which server is it, because here it’s simply unplayable.

So far, I’ve played around 20-25 rounds of Lunatic Inquisition, and not once was I in a match that was cheesed.

And yes, I think it would be hilarious to play hide and seek with my actual friends…

Well, if they make it possible please invite me because I’d love to play a good game o LI XD

Still better than going in out of map areas to make the match last full time for no reason just get a meaningless victory with no fun for anyone else…

That’s another thing that sucks honestly. But I was saying “as it is intended”, and exploiting an unreachable ledge is not “as it is intended”. If someone is hiding anywhere courtiers can spot it just stepping on the teleport pads.
The fact remains that exploiting that ledge bug and going straight to mid just to die to farm the achievements is not as it is intended….

It constantly appears each time I try to get out of the Lunatic Inquisition, and it happens 3 out of 4 times I leave. It is not a ISP-related issue since I opened all the ports, I have my firewall down when I’m playing and my antivirus si switched off (I like to play safe uh).

This said it seem related to latest patch issued.

Mojo Gris Gris.5941:

I love this mini game as well. Great tips, but I want to know more about that shotgun…
Anyone saying “This game isn’t fair,” is correct, and it isn’t supposed to be! It’s the Mad King’s rules. Love it or leave it, but give it a shot!

ONE OF USSSSSS!

Ah the shotgun is a scourge against courtiers, but its ammos are very very limited and you need all the villagers to cooperate with you (it can recharged only with feasts).

Great work on that particular bug, now please totally remove the minigame since people just keep going dying mid to farm 5 achievement point.

The fact that being vocal worked somehow towards a viable solution is a great thing, on both sides.
The reality is this game lately has became a nest of kittenes ready to exploit any single flaw or gray spot in the game, I actually think that they deserve that gemstore, or at least the thought behind it.

I’m getting tired of these cheaters.

When they are not going out of bounds as villagers so they can’t be hit, they use the exploit to get their own skills.

I’d rather have mini-game closed altogether than these bug exploiters griefing players.

Totally agree this whole halloween patch it’s just awful. I don’t care if it’s rehashed content, but just leaving it this unpolished is simply wrong.

Lol no GW2 will never be esport unless they start taking pvp seriously. (not gonna happen) 2 years and still no GvG

I’m not sure what GvG has to do with pvp being an e-sport or not? I participated in the last tournament, and what do you know, 5 people from our guild participated in 5 people from another guild. Hence, GvG.

This is not an argument that spvp constitutes an e-sport, just don’t see what GvG has to do with it. Especially since most people seem to feel like GvG is basically team deathmatch.

Ur talking about gw1 tournament right?

No, I’m talking about the one that just happened, where my team got wrecked (we entered on a whim) but I got a mini llama.

Again, I’m not arguing that spvp constitutes an esport, I just don’t see what GvG has to do with it.

I agree…
GW2 actually does have GvG… It’s called You and 4 other guild mates vs 5 other guild mates in PvP match… It can happen right now. You got the tools to start GvG so dont say you can’t do it… I mean what the hell do you expect? To PvP in PvE areas against another guild? No thanks! That would defeat the purpose of PvE.

PS. Not arguing with you, just agreeing. =P

No worries, no offense taken. Honestly I think people want GvG so they can do large scale team deathmatch.

Ingoring quite totally the whole mechanics of the battle around the flagstand, which basically is way more than a simple death match and the fact that going in TeamQ with your guildmates or not is useless since you got credit for yourself (I mean the leaderboard which is a mess I know) instead as part of a team.

GvG made whole guilds known among players, not a single player famous… it’s quite different.

I noticed as many as 12 players up there and were were able to kill one another then we all become ghosts so its 12 ghosts and just a few villagers. Its pretty hilarious.

I have yet be be able to use my own skills however as I die to the other players trying to kill each other so we can be ghosts.

Its like we must fight to the death to become a ghost: the loser becomes one however.

Last year players started all as villagers, by default, and they were spread across the map then one player was randomly teleported to mid as a couriter. I don’t know why they changed this, this year.

Gaile Gray.6029:

Here’s an update for you:

It’s clear that quite a lot of you would like to have greater flexibility in using the Currency Exchange. Our intention when we designed the new interface was to streamline large volume purchases, which make up the majority of transactions.

In light of your feedback, we will update the Currency Exchange so that you can decide how you want to use it. We will keep the new streamlined system and also offer a new “Custom” button on the panel that you can use to exchange any increment of gems or gold.

We anticipate rolling this out soon. Stay tuned!

Sorry for the delay in posting this, but out of respect to our international community, we wanted to be able to post in several forums at once.

Greates moment of the day actually :*

Now please fix the Lunatic Inquisition that has became a toxic mess XD

Astral Projections.7320:

I would absolutely love to meet these new players who understand the game so well and have made so much gold in the short time they’ve been playing that 70 or 80 gold is a trivial amount to spend to get 400 gems yet are unable to understand how to convert gold to gems using the old system. No matter how you consider these people, they are a marvel. I don’t think I’ve ever met an individual so simultaneously adept and inept.

They’re soloing in Skyhammer.

Gold I loved this game so much…

Malchior.5042:

Anyone have screenshots? It might help them figure out what the problem is.

There’s not much to screen, one out of three games have players participating with their regular skill set; even worse it appears now they come organized in guild team… well GG

Well actually if you spawn as an inquisitor but you are still able to use your usual skill set, once you fall from the starting area (dying in the process) you will be back as a regular inquisitor, what really sucks is people are simply taking advantage of it. Add that, nobody seems to know hot to play the whole hide-gather-cooperate thing, it’s getting frustrating…

There are people in the during the Lunatic Inquisition, able to use they’re normal skill set; in this case I had a mesmer and a thief spamming their normal weapon skills and utilities on the other players. And I’m not referring to the few seconds before the game starts, it was half way the whole stuff.

Xander.9024:

I hope they bring Lunatics Inquisition back. The only “pvp” I actually like.

Edit: someone else beat me to it.

Eh I kinda stop playing the regular game modes just for it, and this year I swear I will manage to get the secret rifle XD

I hope they will put back the Lunatic Inquisition.

Branden Gee.2150:

You shouldn’t be seeing this crash any more.

GG!

Remove the “Conqueror” achievement, or modify it to be updated only when a rated SoloQ or TeamQ match has been won. I think the problem here isn’t the hotjoin structure (or lack of), nor the spectator mode, or the autobalance forcing: the problem is the conqueror achievement: remove it and no one will swap team to join the winning one.
Sorry for my English I’m not a native speaker.

Well, long story short, while I was lurking on other players’ builds in observer, I’ve found this guy doing double jumps and small flights all around the map in pvp (hotjoin to be precise). I think most of the other players noticed that and likely reported the bloke.

What I’d like to ask is if there is a viable way to stop these annoying feats from other players; I mean for how unskilled I am I still prefer to get fragged by people who actually are able to play the game without any “helps” of some sort.

Well then remove that door underwater.

Seriously, I got tired to listen to people yelling “Hacker” at me, just because they don’t properly know the pvp maps.
The case of today was some kind of void-headed war yelling at me “I FRAPSED YOU HACKER” then “ALL REPORT MY CHAR?S NAME” because I used the underwater door near the ruins in “raid on the capricorn” to heal me from downed.
Please release some kind of videoguide for the pvp maps!

(Sorry for my English I am not a native speaker)

I keep getting error 7 once a day. I don’t experience any kind of lag during the game, but I suddenly got everything frozen on screen then I end up kicked from the game with an error 7 message.

Apparently all my tournament tickets and glory boosters have been wiped out with the patch…
I might have used them sleepwalking tho.
Am I the only one who’s experiencing this issues?

I’ve heard people say that they’ve been placed in the PvP locker. I can’t confirm it myself, but it’s worth a look.

Thank you so much

Even if this is my first post, I played the GW franchise since early days of Prophecies and I must admit I really enjoied that new (lost) game concept, my favourite class has always been the Ranger and having the Ranger as my main class in GW2 seemed to be a natural step (and I guess you already know where I am aiming at).

My general feedback is positive, I mean the game itself has been well-presented and well-sold, but it seems that patch after patch it’s going to be a big load of meh all around. Pve is rewarding, you got fairly good stuff from exploration completion, the social part is enjoyable and lots of nice things all around.

About the latest patch my feedback is as follows:

The event wasn’t that bad after all, I won’t complain about the lagfest because I still don’t know what happened at LA, I just saw this Karka coming out the water and GG the game got frozen, but this happens and ok; I am sure Anet will manage a solution for all the other upcoming events.

About the nerfs and the buffs, you made playing the ranger in spvp and wvwvw a chore. I won’t talk about statistics or techical issues because they’ve already been largely discusses, ignored apparently, but discussed; but from the first gw where the ranger was a good midliner it has became an underpowered class beyond measure: it feels like playing the part of a clay pidgeon because everybody is ready to attack and kill it with few hits. I HAD TO GO HIDE UNDERWATER!! So here’s my constructive critic: change the ranger class into the scubadiver class: no one will complain.

Sorry if my English is kinda bad but I am not a native speaker.
