Guild Wars 2

This Halloween event is so disappointing.
Yeah, sure, devs may (and do) have some problems, but this is worst Halloween event I see in mmos this year.
Story part? Forget about it. Go mindless farming on a map that is not even properly re-introduced. Catch-up for new players (and there are always some) to explain what happens around and happened before? Forget about it, go farming. Testing ahead on what few is added? Forget about it, we’ll fix bugs on the move. Cleaning leftovers (like dodge-jumps for puzzle or alike)? Who cares, eat couple new skins and go farming.

Same mistake with kick out while loading character. Present up to now.
Initial patch on 26/07/2016 was fine.
Bug appeared after first hotfix “Fixed a server crash”

Finished defragging and the load times were still the same (~2mins).

But managed to fix it (see below):
Before doing a full reinstall I decided to try force-cleaning and restoring all game configs as it was advised by people around 1-2 years ago to fix some loading-related issues (did some net searching). Found and manually deleted GW2-related subfolders in these folders (Win7):
C:\Users\<User_Name>\AppData\Local\Temp
C:\Users\<User_Name>\AppData\Roaming
On game initialize it re-downloaded some files, presented me with empty login/password strings, that I had to re-fill, upon which the game loaded and LA came to life in 11, 7, 9 seconds (did 3 tries to test it).

Comparing the deleted files and the newly created there’s a huge difference in the C:\Users\<User_Name>\AppData\Roaming\Guild Wars 2\Local.dat
The old one is 49,893,888 bytes, whilst the new one is 8,504,852 bytes.
So I guess it was somewhat corrupted and caused me the problems.

Thanks for the heads up, folks. Hope this might help others someday.

I checked that before starting a topic. HDD is fine, gw2 repair was done twice – on initial slow notice and today. Also checked the overheat possibilities.
Hasn’t helped.

After the May 19, 2015 update the lion arch times load times have increased significantly from ~10 seconds to 2 mins. Other maps seem to be unaffected (or the effect is unnoticeable). Since it’s a location, that is loaded multiply times each day the bug is annoying.
Should my system specification or any additional info be needed, leave a reply please.

*new topic as I seem not to see any pinned on first pages + this one is specific to one location

Worst idea ever. Broken aesthetic game features. Idiotic sounds, which made the game unplayable. Day lost, thanks Anet.

Same issue. Stuck at Mount Maelstrom loading after waypoint teleport to it.
