For the past few weeks I’ve been getting this error sometimes. One day I would log-in normally, the next day I won’t be able to log-in at all, for the whole day. The error I was getting is “Unable to gain access to log-in server at this time” (attached below). This issue is on Arenanet’s end and here is the solution. When you open the launcher, switch to another language from the top right corner. Then launcher would restart and start downloading new files. Switch again to your prefered language and you will log-in successfuly.
Thief’s skill Steal, has a recharge time of 35 seconds untraited.
Putting 30 points in the last traitline – Trickery, is supposed to reduce the recharge time by 30%. But it reduces it to 27 seconds. That is 20% reduction – 8 out of 35. The final trait from the same line reduces steal by 20%. When at 27 seconds recharge, I put this trait, the recharge time becomes 21,5 seconds. 20% of 27 is 5,4 so that is right. But 30% of 35 isn’t 8. The recharge time when having 30 points in the traitline and the final trait, should be 17,5 seconds. Last night the description was saying 17,5 seconds, but the actual recharge was 21,5 seconds. And today Arenanet made a “fix” to the description. But it is the effect of the traitline you should fix, not the description.

I usualy dont take the topics like “why conquest is boring”, “Remove downed mechanic” etc, serious. I don’t brag about any changes on the professions, I just play the game, because it’s fun, but not anymore. 10 games in a row I am getting ranks 1-10 in my team. once we were 1,3,13,31,31 versus full premade group of ranks 40+. It’s just impossible to enter the leaderboards while joining solo(I am constantly about 90%). That’s why I stop, I can’t take it anymore. I just don’t get it, is it that hard to fix? To not put ranks lower than 20 or even 10 in such games? It’s been like that forever………
Dont know what else to say…………………………………………………………….
edit: I just read another thread where someone wants thieves’ initiative removed. I just ROFL literally. That’s very funny. But wanting the matchmaking system fixed is not fun at all!
Exactly the same problem as everyone else. After Wintersday I am having terrible lag. The skills activate 2 seconds after I press them. Yesterday I was getting 502 error when trying to load the gw2 forums. Arenanet, please do something
I am not really experienced, but u can counter this by leaving the fight. Thieves are masters of entering/leaving combat and I see no point in wasting your time, fighting all-day long. An ally may need help somewhere else, meanwhile.
