Guild Wars 2

This is not a good change for PvE. A raid composition is spectacular with the chronomancer and Herald boon sharing for bosses. Please limit these changes to only WvW/pvp as you will completely remove heralds from being viable in a PvE setting.

My provider is CenturyLink.
I am in Colorado Springs, CO.

I created a batch file (system paths will vary) based on info above so that I could successfully hit the login server directly:

cd c:/
cd Program Files (x86)
cd Guild Wars 2
Gw2-64.exe -assetsrv 174.35.56.164

Did that work for you? I’m trying to run my Gw2Setup-64.exe this way (I uninstalled yesterday hoping the reinstall would fix the issue before I learned more about the problem) but it has the same connectivity error for me.

Thx Gaile for the reply, but can’t you just post what the quick and easy process is for everyone, so we don’t have to spend hours on the phone with tech support. : )

Or would a fellow Centurylink user that contacted them, please post the quick and easy process. Thank you fellow gamer.

Fair enough. But, here’s the bit: I don’t know your region, and I am not sure of your provider (That’s the generic “your” not you specifically.)

What I’d like to suggest is that players who have found a work-around please post here. Share your Region and your Provider name, so that people across the country, with a different provider, don’t find themselves trying pointless measures.

So like this:

• My provider is: [name]
• I am in [state] or [city, state]
• This is what I did to work around this problem

Thanks for sharing. We appreciate it!

I called Century Link and they told me to contact Arena Net, not the ISP. I am located in Denver, Colorado.

Currently talking with Centurylink right now, am located in colorado. I will update with my progress once I’m done. I’ve been having a very slow wifi connection lately as well.
