Expecting the launcher to limit the download speed is just ludicrous…..sorry to be so blunt.
Please tell me how the in the hell technically it’s an unreasonable request to have bandwidth-limiting, even if the GW2 launcher is P2P-based. What kittening planet do you live on?
My SSD just crapped out on me so I’m using a Windows install from 2012 with GW2 already installed, obviously updating it it’s gonna be quite the download but it’s saturating the kitten out of my internet connection to the point of me not being able to do anything else. I’m in the process of renewing the house with cat6 and a switch and router where I could control this on the network level but as it stands right now, why isn’t this an option in the launcher?
Just incorporate the language of a server into the megaserver algorithm and let megaservers be one language, for the love of kitten. How is this so hard, Arenanet made them deliberately separate and now suddenly we get this clusterkitten.
Edit: I don’t mind playing with people from the language-specific servers, it’s all been fun and friendly in map chat so far, but how can the people who specifically designed their game to separate them not have foreseen this?
I have no interest in dealing with 3-4 different languages in map chat in a casual MMO and I’m not gonna bother dealing with one like it’s IRC in 1995 with ignore lists either, which is basically what this “fix” is.
Why are you posting in this topic if you have no idea what it’s about? This isn’t a chat forum.
Edit: The pass is account bound but it only applies to one character, but if you log on after parking your character there you get booted right out, regardless of inventory.
Just logged on and waypointed and seeing as a mob was hitting me I nuked it, it disappeared and then I went to a safe spot to check a webpage. 30 seconds later I’m suddenly dead. For kittens sake Arenanet, can’t you at least send this info off to someone in the backend to clarify this to us? I’m perfectly fine kittening at my ISP if needed but we’re all just left out to dry on this thing as it is. Elevate this kittening issue to someone that can tell us something, you have a lot of gem-buying players being left with a completely unplayable game.
Edit: I realize you have a lot of garbage to deal with in this forum but it should be obvious in this case that it’s a real issue for a lot of people, and with data to go on, can you please at least give some feedback. If you have no idea then send it to someone that does, please.
I think it’s more likely that some tinet.net servers (ae5.fra61.ip4.tinet.net? cdnetworks-gw.ip4.tinet.net?) are causing the whole issue, not PlayNC servers or different ISPs that we’re using. Of course, it would be nice if NCSoft could politely ask tinet.net to sort it all out, if it’s really them that’s causing the whole mess.
Yeah it was a bit of a guesswork on my part, the best would be if Anet could have a tech check it out and give us some feedback. I’m pretty sure there’s quite a lot of silent players affected by this particular issue regardless of who is to blame.
Posted this elsewhere in regards to so many people having issues in Norway and other countries:
After looking into it some more it seems like the problem might lie with Telenor and their partner GTT (tinet.net), which handles traffic for other ISPs as well.

One more person from Norway having the exact same issues since last week.

Bottom end is it’s made the game rather unplayable for a lot of people, I wish Arenanet would at least acknowledge these issues on their forums and tell us to contact our ISP after looking into it or something instead of just dead silence.

I had the same issue this morning and this was the first thread I found, came here now to say it’s still bugged but I see it’s already been updated. Support didn’t take more than an hour to fix it for me. Gaile, if it helps, actually visiting the URL the button points to made no difference so there’s something behind the scenes that makes our accounts not viable for unlinking, though I’m sure your webteam knows this already.
Bumping this again after a month, can you please fix this? It’s an extremely basic feature that is assumed in every kind of forum software, please have your web team look at it. So many times I’ve opened background tabs that lead to this forum and they end up ruined for no reason.
This just made me ragequit to the desktop after failing the most obvious jumping puzzle jumps for the 100th time. I thought it was my keyboard receiver, my cold hands, my space bar going out etc. but after a while I could recreate it not jumping when jump was distinctly pressed. What a horrible bug to introduce.
The sense of entitledment and importance of people playing this game is staggering. You used the gambling mechanism that is the Mystic Forge and lost, like is explained you can, and proceeded to not only bother Anet’s support, people reading these forums but also think every gaming news site you know have any interest in it. How do you people actually manage to go about your day?
