Guild Wars 2

Mike O Brien.4613:

Hi all,

Sadly we’re not going to be able to launch the new episode “The Head of the Snake” on its intended release date today.

We were hit hard by the Seattle area storm and resulting power outage. We’ve been working to bring everything back online as quickly as possible, but after a series of setbacks, it’s become clear that it won’t be today.

Please accept our apology. We’re going to keep at it through the night and hope to be able to launch tomorrow, but obviously we can’t promise anything.

Mo

Thanks for letting us know! Stay safe. We <3 you all!

If someone blocks you, why should they be allowed to message you?

I feel like this is a flawed system. I’ve been blocked by trolls twice now and each time its happened they carried on sending abusive messages and laughing at the fact I can’t respond.

I don’t mind that they want to do this and are enjoying it, I just kept reporting them, but why should they be allowed to send messages to someone they blocked?

When using messaging apps such as WhatsApp and you block someone, you cannot message them unless you unblock them.

I know you can block them as well and I have done so. It’s just that it has been like this in guild wars 1 as well and to be honest I feel like it’s something that should have been implemented a long time ago.

I’ve also noticed that you can view the location of the person you blocked as well as if they’re online or not, which I feel like is too much information for this person you don’t want to have contact with in the game.

I feel like Anet should consider adding this in the game.

I completely agree. Blocking someone should shut down all forms of verbal communication within the game.
