+1 for Belgium problems
I’ve been having the same issue intermittently for a couple of weeks. I can go several days without encountering it, but on bad days it happens up to 3-4 times an hour. I’ve never had any lag or DC problems before.
When the problem happens, I get what looks like a major lag spike (but other services like TS work fine), then I’m disconnected. Sometimes (but not always), the game hangs on a black screen at this point and I have to kill it from the task manager. For a while after that, I get an error when I try to reconnect. During that time I can’t access the GW2 home page either. Everything else (including the GW2 forums, for some reason) works fine.
The lockout period is rather short, 10-30 minutes. Whether the game exits cleanly or has to be killed doesn’t seem to influence this.
The time of the day, what I’m doing in-game, the load on my CPU and my internet traffic have no apparent effect on the problem.
I’m in Brussels and my ISP is Belgacom.
Error codes encountered:
7:11:3:191:101
58:11:5:523:101
42:1000:7006:854
Bumping this as it’s still happening. I’ve seen it twice, once a couple of days ago and once today (the 7:15pm CET spawn).
- The beginning of the encounter is normal
- The damage displayed on-screen is normal
- The wurm’s health bar goes down at the expected speed until it suddenly keels over. It had around 80% HP remaining today, 80-90% the previous time.
- Once the wurm dies, the chest is awarded to at least some participants (I got it today but not the previous time)
The language fix needs to be changed. It’s a quick bandaid that assumes everyone uses only one language and wants nothing to do with the others.
There are several reasons why someone’s client may be in a different language from the one they chat in.
Personally, I’m fluent in French and English and I’m learning German. Before the patch, I could play on an international server with a DE client, and chat mostly in EN, but if someone on an overflow/megaserver asked something in FR, I could just type a reply and hit send.
Now I have to use an EN or FR client if I want to be able to communicate with other players at all, and if I see someone asking something in the other language, I have to go change my own options in order to answer them.
SUGGESTION:
At the very least, allow players to choose their “main” language instead of taking the client localization.
One possible solution is to implement language-specific channels for English, French, German, Spanish and maybe other languages used by many players (like Polish and Russian). One international channel for everyone else. Allow players to pick any number of channels to display.
The problem with this is coordination for world events. Maybe have an “events” channel always on? The thing is, whatever you do to allow for such coordination, it HAS to allow cross-community contact and that means someone, somewhere is going to be exposed to a language other than their own and whine about it.
Holy kitty.
Made and deleted a character a bunch of times this afternoon, to unlock the starter headgear.
Logged into my main and went into WvW.
Ranked up.

Okay then.
