Guild Wars 2

i would have if my own tests didn’t show me these results. also i’m not familiar with ping plotter but if it just pinging that won’t cut it. It the tcp layer that the issue here so ping/traceroute are fine just no services. Also found some others users that have the same issue on french forum so it might be tight to an isp issue or the ip pool used and/or some load balancing algorithm or anti ddos measures.

i might still try my luck for the ticket if things aren’t moving by tonight

Edit : Ticket 2184934 raised. I’ve linked this thread in the topic and the french equivalent as well, let’s wait. In the mean time, still can’t do much in game and got to jump through hoops to play a little.

Double posting with an update : The node seems indeed to be dead, i tried to get into Black Gate(Vizunah Native) and i managed to get into another shard and i could get in fine. Switching back to Vizunah, getting the old IP and i’m stuck again.

If someone can do something about it though, it would be nice

Double Edit : it’s still a pain in the kitten to play, any server tied to my homeworld fail… Can’t do instanced content, can’t do wvw, can’t do pvp. I can only do pve maps if i land in the guest world, if the original map is full then i get bumped back to vizunah shard overflow and i’m stuck again.

I can’t even finish my dailies because diessa’s plateau is too full i can’t do fractal…

Some map ip not working :
206.127.159.153
206.127.146.59
206.127.159.92
206.127.146.69

Hello,

Since today’s patch, i can’t get in the game. Login Server is doing fine, i can see my chars but can’t get into any map whatsoever. After 30 seconds waiting, got a 5:11:3:159:101 error(Network error : The inability to connect to Guild Wars 2 may be caused by Internet routing issues or a server network failure).

My connection seems to be doing fine, i did a reset for kicks but i’m still sitting at a solid 10-15 ms to reach the map server according to my traceroute(server node is 206.127.159.219). Rest of my regular browsing is doing fine, i can even connect to Gw1 map server which is a /24 away from GW2 one.

Tried to do an image/repair to no avail. Tried switching to 32 bits version from my regular 64 bits, same.

Mapinfo shows that the loading process is on STATE_SERVER_WAIT so i got 0 model loading or anything.
Telnetting the node(206.127.159.219) on 6112 yields me a time out. I tried another node involved in the exchange(might be the login server)(206.127.146.74) and i got a standard tcp handshake.

Checking on resmon, I can see the tcp connections failing, 3 tries on 3 differents source ports and no latency showing, so that sounds like the handshake is failing as my telnet attempt seems to show.

Didn’t find a way to make the map server node change(guesting is not enough or i tried the wrong servers)

I’m attaching the error message, map load info and my traceroute as well(in french, sorry ).

Am i the only one affected by this ?

Noticed this as well when i pick the wrong axe on my war ending up with
Axe Bloodlust + Mace Bloodlust and GS Bloodlust(second slot) on the second set.

Turns out i couldn’t get any stack with the GS anymore, i tried swapping weapons around without noticing any improvement.

In my case, this isn’t that much of a big deal since there’s signet misuse in the first place but your reports are a bit more problematic i guess.

Everything works fine with one Bloodlust on each set though.

Hope someone will be able to look into it. Sounds like the cap on sigil triggering is not designed the way it should.

As far as i know, survivor title is kinda buggy, the all time survivor is not counting your progress at all and the monthly one suffers from some odd behaviors :

It does not reset when you down, you got to have the way point pop up to consider it a death. Anyway, the best way to know is to use the /deaths commands, if the count increased then you died.

So back to the bugs, from personnal experience and what i read on some forums, using waypoint and changing map might cause your progress to reset.

Sadly since the /deaths command doesn’t show your current xp count without dying and the monthly survivor keeps only track of your current best score at it. The only moment you can notice it is when you’re counting your experience yourself…

So until fixed, the best way to achieve this title is to get the needed experience in a single map without using overflow or waypoint travel at all. This way, nothing can accidentaly reset your progress.

Some advices to do it easily.
1) Experience for the title is 100k no matter what, but you’ll get more and more experience from events when you’ll be at a higher level. For the record, 100k experience can be done in less than an hour in WvW with a lvl 80 char(experience is ranging from 3-10 to 50-60k per objective taken so… )
2) Events are usually the best way to get nice xp gain, however, group event are dangerous don’t do them if you’re not with a decent amount of players. Some bosses can be really deadly.
That leads me to 3)
3) If you can, level up with friends, being downed is okay, as long as you can get back on your feet in time. Having mates can be worthful at those times !
4) Falls, they hurt, really bad. You should have a trait that should reduce by half damage taken from falling, that could be useful. But still, avoid jumping from cliffs, it’s really the dumbest way to lose your progress.
5) Adjust your build accordingly. Pack any damage mitigation skills your might have if you’re not comfortable with your standard build. You might or might have much options in this area depending of your class, but there’s still a way. Also, adjust your playstyle. IIRC, every class got some long range weapon, better go kiting than trying to melee every mob crossing your way.

tl;dr : Survivor is a bit buggy, do it in one time on a single map. If you wanna do it easy, do it at high level and with friends and play safe !
