Guild Wars 2

Just popping back in here for a moment.

It is extremely hard to believe, but my black screen crashing has been fixed due to some changes in the router. I was able to play for a good four hours yesterday without interruption. It is absolutely unbelieveable that a simple change to the router was all that was needed. A month of issues and Deitus was able to help me!

So, to anyone else who may stumble across this and having black screen crashing problems but no problems with any other game? Check your router.

Okay, I found a solution on another forum to get the D-Link router to work without disconnecting. Basically, on the router web client, you need to go to Advanced>Firewall Settings and set the following:
-UDP Endpoint Filtering set to Endpoint Independent
-TCP Endpoint Filtering set to Endpoint Independent
-Uncheck the box labeled “Enable SPI”

After I set this up, I played for about 2-3 hours without a black screen. It’s still a bit soon to call it fixed, but it’s good news so far. I’ll post back with an update once I’ve had enough time to determine if this bug was fixed, but I figured you guys might want to know right away if there’s even a possibility of a fix.

Edit: Looks like the image is down, so I’ll remove the link to it.

Oh my god. I have been having the same issues since I had started Guild Wars 2 over a month ago. I have the same exact model router. I have been told it was the video card, heating, repairs, nothing worked. I have done literally every thing else and not once have I suspected the router.

I am going to try this tonight and pray that it works, because if it does, I am going to be so excited.

(Sorry/Not sorry for necroing, but this might actually be an answer to my issue! _)

Thank you all so much. It makes so much more sense. WvW or PVP really isn’t my thing, I was just wanting to mingle with all the RPers in the cities and such and do some leveling with a friend. So, so long as I can do that and what not, I will be super happy.

I really have no understanding of how the worlds/servers work in GW2. I only got the game last night and haven’t even created a character, so please bear with me. lol.

So, even if I were to create a character on a different world, I would be able to see and play with everyone on Tarnished Coast, not just the people I have friended?

Simple enough question. I am wanting to join a friend of mine on Tarnished Coast. I understand that there are ways to play with him if I were on another server, but I am really wanting to get onto TC to join the RP community there. I just got the full game and it is a bit disheartening that I cannot join the server and I do not want to pick any others because of it being permanent.

Now, last night, I spent about 4 hours checking periodically to see if it ever went to High. I also checked this morning at 5am but the same five servers, including TC, were full.

So, does the FULL status ever change? It is a permanent thing so no one can join those servers? Was money wasted? When is “server maintenance” so I can potentially time my attempt to join Tarnished Coast?
