Guild Wars 2

1.) With regards to each individual event I feel that they should be a little more tough. So mobs are harder to kill which ensures that more players can get involve in each event as i see many running around desperately trying to get a hit on even one mob before it is killed. The rewards could scale with time required to complete.

2.) The stacking is a good idea however the diminishing returns for 10 and 15 blooms is steep and I often find I couldn’t be bothers to get 10 entire stacks more to get only 5 blooms. It needs to be worth the time spend doing it.

3.) People have IRL stuff to do and this event gives the bare minimum rewards to maybe get one decent item or making the top items impossible to get if you are busy for even one of the days. ei. Rewards are very small and should probably be increased just slightly.

4.) I feel that if there was a map wide/total objective to complete in order to get extra rewards, which would cause a bit more community building instead of tagging and leaving. so completing XX amount of events over all (of course making it a challenge to achieve) would then give everyone on the map a little more motivation and an extra reward for good performance.

5.) I feel that maybe a singular event that breaks up into a few multiple events would work best. as it gets more people involved, promotes team work, less people trying to chaotically tag each event to get stacks and so just running around and killing a mob and moving to the next event which kinda makes the event lose meaning.

6.) A final BIG event could be good. right at the end of everything if an objective has been achieved by the community then a rewarding and challenging event follows at the end.

7.) Would enjoy a little more structure as it is all very chaotic and feels more like a grind fest than anything.

Was able to log in. Loading into map now and see if load screen… Nevermind seems i am in the map. Will update on any disconnections.

Edit: Have yet to be disconnected within 40mins of play and 3 map changes + Teq. Have yet to try PvP or WvW but PvE seems to be sorted.

Hello Gaile Gray

Thank you for getting back to us. Unfortunately the issue is definitely unsolved as i cannot log in after multiple attempts. I will submit a ticket now.

Edit:

It seems your support page is having issues loading, I will keep trying but have tested my connectivity (Its fine) and it also loads other pages with no problem.

Edit2: Nope. Support page refuses to load so I guess we will just keep posting here :/

Same! Since Yesterday evening While doing a fractal i was dcd about 5-6 times in a row and stuck in loading screen for around 10-20 minutes in total. Just tried now after giving up yesterday and STILL getting dcd and stuck in loading screen. Please fix this asap i cannot play at all.
Error Code: 42:0:9001:4418:101 (when cannot log in)
or 10 minute (maybe longer) loading screen
or Disconnection error code 7:0:0:986:101

Edit:

I spent about 30mins in Loins Arch and no lag or disconnections. All the issues seem to happen once i load to another map, recent attempt resulted in 15mins of loading screen and would have persisted for longer if i didn’t Alt – Ctrl – Del.

Let us know if it works.

So i have done a lot of reading up on this issue. Alpha and anyone else that has the lag issue i have a question… Are you currently running any form of Trend Mirco?
There seems to be an on going issue between Trend, Win 8 & GW2 and want to see if this is a pattern. There is also a Hotfix for this issue, that trend released (very hard to find it though) which has worked quite well if that is the issue… there is a huge patch so i cannot test this theory out yet on my PC yet…
If this is the case then just ask me to post the link, if not then try the 1.) compatibility mode. 2.) Network driver update. 3.) Turning off any and all virus protection. 4.) updating your graphics drivers (i know its not a graphical issue but some people have said this works). 5.) Keep bugging support to get the game working well on windows 8… if enough people complain then they may do something about it.

Well my brother has a laptop and i have a PC. My older PC had no problems with internet lag on the exact same internet home network, but had an fps issue, now this new PC handles FPS amazingly but is lagging horribly -+3 seconds. My PC is faster and better in nearly every way. As i mentioned we are connected to a home network that has very fast connection speed. He never lags and i experience constant lag. So… the question is… what software is messing up the communication between my PC and the server? by the looks of it this is a real issue for a lot of people and will stop me from playing until i can fix it. So if you could help that would be greatly appreciated.
