Guild Wars 2

The first time I tried “Sparking the Flame” I got bugged… the Herald of Balthazar didn’t leave (bringing on the two veteran forged warhounds, etc), she stayed to fight, which went on and on for quite some time. I did finally get her health bar down to zero, but she refused to actually die, so in the end all I could do was log out. Logging back in I had arrived in the city, Amnoon, but with the option to enter the instance again, which would be necessary to get the mount etc.

Too bad one can’t easily post screenshots here…

Strange that the “Lily of” pass doesn’t work, since the two boats where it is set are clearly visible, complete with their crafting stations etc. And that raptor race seemed a bit peculiar…at least, I could see no indications of the route one was supposed to follow…?

Yes, I just closed my download at around 18,000 – and restarting GW2 gave an instant jump to the log-in screen

An earlier poster in this thread said “Edit: Finished at about 23,000. So, not too big.” So I’m confused… I’m also at 14,000 and counting, and was hoping it would be finished in time for the next Frozen Maw, as that’s the daily event.

This does seem a bit of a mess.

3KB/sec here too – that’s really strange, I’ve never had a patch that didn’t come in at full speed before. It sounds as if, for 23,000, it may take some time – over two hours??

Still getting the network error. But then, it is still the middle of the night for Anet…

I’m getting the same “network error” when I try to enter Diessa from the Black Citadel – using the map to jump straight to Blazeridge Steppes works okay, it’s lucky today’s daily boss isn’t in Diessa…

I guess it could be useful, but it would be sensible if we could still “tag up” and be able to act as a normal party member.

If I’m tagged up as a commander at Tequatl, I’d like to be able to be in an ordinary party, in case of a disconnection. This new idea seems to have been thought up by somebody who doesn’t actually play the game…
