Guild Wars 2

Okay, I’m stunned. 7 seconds.

Why did that work? Can someone explain?

I’ve done this in the past with no luck. Perhaps I was suffering from a different problem at the time.

I know technically what the change does, but all my logic tells me it shouldn’t have made a difference. All ping plotter figures are exactly the same.. all still showing very good ping times. Surely the connection is exactly the same connection regardless of which dns answered the ip lookup request. Unless the SA dns servers are extremely out of date and are pointing to older update servers? But surely this should eventually resolve itself when the SA DNS servers do a sync

For now I’m relieved that it works. Haven’t played in days. Has anything changed much in LA?

I’m having the same problem, but I’ve been having it for the last few weeks. It started happening on my wife’s pc while mine was fine. I installed on a third pc so my wife could actually play, but that didn’t last more than a week before it also started giving issues. My pc, in the mean time was still working perfectly. I then installed on a fourth pc and it worked, but mine started acting up. The fourth pc worked up until recently, but doesn’t load at all now. The same for my pc. Doesn’t even get to the log in screen. In the mean time, my wife’s original pc can now connect and update.

WTF is going on? This isn’t an internet connection problem. This isn’t a hardware problem.

Does anyone know if there is a way to tell the launcher to NOT auto-update as this is where it’s getting stuck. I can handle restarting the update if it gets stuck, but I can’t even get that far.

I really would re-install, but only if ANet says they’ve actually addressed this issue and it won’t happen again after a successful update. Re-installing isn’t worth the few days worth of game play. It gets old real quickly.

I’m left wondering what you’re actually trying to say since your entire comment boils down to ‘No it’s not’.

How would this feature be useful to botters, etc. any more so than stolen accounts? I did suggest ways of limiting this feature. Wasn’t that enough?

From my perspective the advertising has always shown up either during the open period or only days beforehand. This isn’t enough time i.m.h.o.

I would like the ability to invite a guest to play for 3 days. This can be limited to one guest per account. It can further be limited to only allow X amount of invites per account. Additional invites could perhaps be bought from the TP.

The scenario I’m facing is that I’m organizing a LAN party. Six people have accounts, but the other six don’t. I can’t hope that there will be a guest weekend. Advertising for these events have been extremely poor, so I can’t rely on that.
