Guild Wars 2

Can a admin please tell me why its my ISP while my laptop runs fine and my desktop keeps disconnecting?

Even when me and my girl play at the same time.. i get disconnected and my girlfriend can just keep on playing. same area in party and everything.

I think your servers have some sort of problem with the wifi-usbsticks… or can i be tottaly wrong? i do have a cheap one.. got the 100N from sitecom

Interesting. I ALSO use a USB wifi stick. So, based on this, I looked at replacing the stick with another one I had just bought (updated firmware and is a Asus USB N13 B1…newer model) that I had been using in my music studio PC.

Was able to play all weekend with no drop (well, one weird one…but, not Error 7…was something called Network Error 1200 or something…but, only happened once).

I call that a win after the frustration of dropping over and over.

So, lets talk…who else is having this issue and using a Wifi USB adapter?

Tarnished Coast, has been down all weekend. Also was down last week for an alt.

This is one crappy bug. They need to fix this and create an alternate way to get this vista.

Using this format and form got me in a discussion with tech support, which led to them telling me it was my ISP.

My problem is that this is totally the wrong answer.

When the issue happens, my wife, while playing, will get kicked…but, everyone else keeps playing along happily. Out of 3 PC’s, this one PC is the one that drops.

When this PC drops, it is usually in specific zones (where large gatherings of people are…). Malchor Leap was the worst, followed by Divinity’s Reach, then Lions Arch. Yet, she can play out in the field for hours with no issue.

And it is not always happening. One day she played in Malchors for an hour, with no drop. Yet, walking into the one town in Wayfarers that has the crafting stations (can’t remember its name)…dropped her within a minute.

As I previously posted here… one day I was playing in Malchors with my wife, and when she got kicked, I would eventually get kicked as well. Yet, I would be playing separately, and NOT get kicked…though she would eventually get kicked.

This is quite frustrating, as it is clearly on ArenaNets end…but, they are ready to blame it on our systems or ISP. I would prefer them to just gather the info and work on it.

Here is what’s odd. I have 3 people in my house, all playing the same game.

1. Can play with no issue
2. Randomly disconnects
3. Disconnects, but not as much

So, player 2 has been a major concern this weekend. EVERY time player 2 goes to Divinity’s Reach or Malchors Leap it’s either instant disconnect or within 5 minutes.

Other zones?… can play for hours.

Player 1 joined player 2 in Malchor’s Leap Sunday morning…non-prime time and each kept disconnecting either instantly or within 5 minutes.

Player 3 finally quit and is playing something else now out of frustration.

What seems CLEAR to me, is that specific zones are the issue.

I have not tried the port 80 fix…but, WTF…I mean, why can we play EVERYWHERE else fine (and I can play almost ANYWHERE with zero disconnects), yet, when we either solo or play together in Malchor’s, we get kicked?

Clearly server related…and Anet needs to stop blaming PC’s for this.

Hope this gets resolved…SOON.
