Guild Wars 2

The “Rescue the villagers and defeat harpy kidnappers” event is stuck on:

Server: 206.127.146.121 (EU)
Map: Fields of Ruin
Area: Tanglerot Hills

How do I know it’s stuck? Because there has been one terrified villager standing in a harpy nest since this morning, I’ve cleared the area twice but he is not moving.

This event is part of the “Sunrise I: The Experimental Daysword” collection, and it really is blocking my progress now.

I was playing with the maps endpoint to display the boundaries of zones on a world map, when I noticed that Dry Top and Silverwastes seem to overlap. I’m not sure if this is intentional or a bug? But this way it’s difficult when someone clicks on the map to determine which zone that is.

I’m getting error 5:11:3:159:101, usually takes 25-30 minutes to go away. In the meantime you cannot play since it will redirect you to the map after the timer is gone. Also, always after dc’ing the next time I login and select a character to play with a get the same error.

What’s happening?

I have the error logs for tonight (from the “ArenaNet.log” file hidden deep within the Library). Are those of any help to the team, and if so, where should I send them?

Gavian, is there anything I can do to reduce the lockedRect.pbits error from occurring? It’s pretty disheartening to wait through a queue of 50 people only to crash after 20 minutes in the middle of what was supposed to be an epic fight.

Had that twice tonight.

Graphic settings attached for reference.

Thanks to the guys of [Gow] tonight on Barush BL. Some interesting fights but unfortunately some PU added each time (on both sides). But well, that’s WvsW I guess…

Yeah, I guess… Nothing we can do about that :-)

archeon.5349:

It was really fun at the supply camp. Sorry if some of my mates attacked you, they didn’t know about us. I don’t know who was the guy with the dolyak tonic but mister, you have all my respect (I think I even see you during the fights with RG). One of my guildies took a video of our “trip”. I will post it here when done.

See you on the battlefield!

Archeon, the half naked thief

Yup, that would be me. And yes, you do see me in fights with RG. Those guys are hungry for meat though, be careful!

I would love to be able to place a target (Ctrl+T) on someone / something when I’m not in a party. When in world versus world it is much easier to follow someone when you have a target on their head (even when said person has commander tag on). This “feature” is currently reserved for people who are in a party though. I’m sure that the targeting system was originally designed to let party members focus on the same target, but creative as we the players are, we have found some even better uses for it.

A second situation is when in a large PvE fight with a champion and his trash mobs, it can be hard to tab-tab-tab between some of the trash and the champion. When you place a target on his head you can easily switch back when you lose it by pressing T.

Would you like to be able to use this system when not in a party too?

Good afternoon! It’s a lovely day here in Seattle, but a bit cold, so I figure this is a good time to answer some questions

Dynnen.6405:

I was going to wait to ask this until after the Feb update. However I was wondering if there will be any changes going into forced respawn after being stomped for…30 seconds (something like that)

We haven’t settled all the details yet but we’re working on a forced respawn timer. It’s a good thing that your allies can revive you but I think the game will be better off without corpse scouts, etc.

Please no.

I’m getting really freaking annoyed by this. Happens almost every match in sPvP. Normally I just re-log and start playing again, but since I’m doing my dailies I just wanted to sit the match out to finish it (yep, selfish, I know). And then I got disconnected because an excessive amount of player inactivity. Believe me, if I could have been active, I would.

/end of rant.

Karther.7481:

We also killed Stonemist.

You taking credit for my actions? /offtopic

With the current matchup where we dominate the other teams in prime time it is usually hard to find decent fights. Somehow, OP picks them out though. He has an eye for coordination — new players really enjoy playing with us. If you like to fight in a tight knit group with voice communication, don’t hesitate to contact Rhelex! You will not regret it.

Also, even though WvW is serious business, we also manage to have lots of laughs. So much fun!

Karther.7481:

If anyone has any questions feel free to get in touch either by posting, by private message or ingame in a tell.

Don’t be shy, we only bite gently.

True story.

We mainly bite enemies though. Normally we are playing with about 6-8 people and we could use some additional guys! You all like WvW, and you are all on Piken Square, right?

Join us!

Great guild, joined ‘em this weekend, had two great nights of WvW already. Very organized, very active. Lovin’ it!

Woooot! I’m logged in and playing again. I was still on the server I was before I transferred, but I took another try at transferring and it worked this time (only had to wait a few minutes). Time to close my ticket.

FYI for others, what I have received so far from support (I guess these answers are specifically for people who transferred, not to people who haven’t even chosen a world?):

It’s difficult to say when your desired server may be back up. Just keep checking. I’m sure it wont be too long. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

From what is said, we assume that once you sent in your request to switch servers, the server you were on went done.

You character is still on the previous server and will not be switched to the new server until the one you were previously on is back up.

Let’s hope tonights update causes servers to reset and fix the issue, I guess. Luckily the responses are within hours instead of days, have to give credits to support for that, even though thus far they have been unable to resolve the issue.

Opened a support ticket [120930-002891]

I tried to switch servers just before the European server outage last night, which is about 7 hours ago now I guess. When I try to login it says that my transfer is currently processing and that it could take a little longer than expected when there is high demand. I’ve switched a few times before where it took longer than expected, and I understand that. However, since I guess there were some problems with the servers last night I was wondering if it could be possible that my account is now stuck in between two servers with no progress being made. The error code when trying to login is 1032:6:3:2114.

Again, I know it can take a while for the transfer to be processed, but considering the circumstances and the time passed since initiating the transfer… Just wondering. Anyone else having the same problem? Or anyone who has tried to change servers this morning and it’s processed already?
