It’s going to be days. It’s been down for a full day and they still don’t know when they are going to be able to fix it apparently.
Welp, this will be a good time for me to get invested in different games. Maybe I’ll come back to GW2 when its ready, maybe I’ll get distracted and never find myself reinvested. This is exactly how I stopped playing Diablo 3.
Was having fun, auction house went down for too long, got distracted in other stuff and never went back.
However, I recognize the devs for doing what they need to do. It’s much better than not fixing problems at all.
The lack of an ETA simply makes it more aggravating. My guess is the dev’s best guess is 2 days to 4 weeks depending on whether they can fix/test something small or they need to overhaul a giant part of it. They must still be figuring that out.
Haha I like that idea of using extra gold to fill a personal “gold pool” that your character can swim in.

Look there for current info, they are neglecting to make a news post about the downtime on the forums in any sensible location.
This is definitely unplanned downtime. Something went wrong or is being exploited. Otherwise it simply would have been a quick patch once an update was ready.
Two reasons I can think of why they have no ETA:
1. If they tell people about when it might be done, everyone will flood the servers all at once when it comes back up (will happen anyway, but much worse). 80% likely
2. They don’t have a good idea how long it’s going to take. Get comfortable, it’s going to be a while. 18% likely
3. Conspiracy to reduce player numbers occasionally since people who already bought the game aren’t paying much more. 2% likely
Ugh, this is exactly the point in time I stopped playing Diablo. Whenkittenparts of the auction house went down for weeks. It’s beyond annoying to be unable to buy what you need or sell what you find. Also I know when the TP comes back online prices are going to crash from everyone selling.
When we don’t get any info all I can do is picture the devs taking down and working on the TP for an hour, then going to sleep / going home for 16 hours. UGH
