Guild Wars 2

Ah-ha! They are sending data to Google! Doesn’t make it right if everyone does it.

This is very creepy.

Gosh. Twice, I spend like 20 minutes creating a character, dc’d and lost it

Ya me too, you can run a traceroute by executing your Guild Wars 2 exe file using the commandline flag “-diag”

Mine looks like this:

Trace complete.

• pathping -w 500 -q 50 -4 197.80.133.2 <--*

Note the massive packet loss (100%) right after the ping hits Frankfurt. This means There is a server problem and there is nothing we can do about it.

Me too. Ran traceroute, packet loss after Frankfurt somewhere (I’m in South Africa).

I am stumped, appears to be a server issue we have no control over buddy, sorry dunno what’s left to do but go play Fallout while I wait for Fallout 4.
