HoD – many of us in teamspeak were stopped dead – having to reboot the computer in my case – most others had to start the client after stopping the process in the task manager – there is no other way to get the program unstuck.
If’s only HoD something is very wrong – we aren’t seeing them crashing in the same numbers we are losing with every crash.
We lost 20+ people – commanders are quitting for the night because there’s no way to stay in the game after (for me 5 crashes) and others have been crashing many more times than I have tonight (this morning 5am pst).
Anet please, what’s going on with the massive crashing?
Is this a DDOS attack or a problem with a specific server? Help!

This. I bought 40 of the first boxes and 40 of the new boxes, and mostly got duplicates of minis I had already unlocked. Out of my 80 total boxes, I only got 1 skin of value and about 200 currency sprocket things; everything else was duplicates and junk. These boxes really feel like more of a waste of money and a gamble than the regular black lion chests do.
Suggestion to Anet:
Every item is in the database for rng purposes.
Ok, so put a tick mark against any that are already owned. Tick mark seen, that person rolls all the rest available. -Problem solved.
No one should be getting dups of recipes, minis, or any other gear if it is account bound, not sellable and not worth a darn thing.

What’s your hardware configuration?
Please read my recent posting, it has little to nothing to do with the machines – mine does the same thing and I am faster than most here.
It’s about the bandwidth – I and millions of others have no problems with other games or other intense bandwidth offerings but with GW2 it’s all about the company’s side, the servers and more importantly the backbone speed and allocations given to the game which are not, not, not, not enough.
I am a computer hardware professional and for this company to keep pointing back to users whose computers are leaps and bounds beyond what is necessary to not have slow motion in WvW or even in PvE with any world boss is not the fault nor in the control of the end user, is more than insulting, but moreover begs the question about what * "expert"* do you have on your side lying to you????
If the company refuses to comprehend simple bandwidth, players will leave in droves eventually – and they won’t be coming back. So many I know have already and some guilds and servers are gutted by the lack of reality there at the place where it can all be fixed – the server/backbone side.

Or at least if WvW will be adressed regarding some classes and their over the top builds?
Ofc not in what world do you live? ^^
Pretty sure thief is gonna get even more dps so we can all look forward to even harder hitting vault spam on Friday.
That’s not even remotely funny.
Vault spamming when done right can’t be stopped by three and four people.
Not many other professions can take on 3-5 without much effort.

For months now, the SF and DH server groups on T4 have been so woefully underpopulated that they are perpetually blobbed by whoever the third server group is. The WvW game in T4 isn’t even remotely competitive.
I would like to request a response from Anet regarding what the next steps are for fixing this problem and a general timeline for when those steps will be taken.
When Anet can figure out that they messed up at the Megaserver and then never took into account how many active WvW’ers there are per server, that’s two very big mistakes that have just about destroyed WvW.
We asked for linking – but not one of us who suggested it said to leave the linked servers alone for weeks or months on end without readjusting.
Active WvW players should be counted – not the whole population of any specific server and linking for months without any movement up or down are the two things that can and will save WvW – otherwise it’s just going to be one big pain for all concerned – even the servers who win.
What?
Winning doesn’t mean good fights, it just means boredom on one or two sides and massive frustration and disaffections on one or two servers.
Bad all the way around.

Great event - too bad about all of the bots
in Battle for Lion’s Arch - Aftermath
Posted by: atheria.2837
thread merge with the other 2-3 afk threads. please bump those if you want to rant instead of creating a new afk thread.
~ new mechanic afki’ing for more than 10 minutes causes friendly fire – i’d use the hammer to send flying those who just stand there back through that exit gate.
If I had seen the other threads – and they had been at the top rather than buried, I would have posted the picture in there… as it is, I saw this posting – and he’s right, the AFK are ruining the live event instances.
I just did a search – either there are no other threads about this or they have been removed.
This is an ongoing and detrimental issue – the event SCALES for gosh sakes people, it DOES matter that there are SO many standing at the doors and NOTHING removes them until the wrongly made timer finally boots them back to their character screens.
Please Fix The AFK problem in instances that last 45 or so minutes.
How about three minutes? Even the slowest of us can get water and go to the bathroom in three minutes.
Maybe the events are just too shortly spaced – maybe a five minute addition would give people time to really clean out their bags and get their normal lives on track before entering an instance where frustration, not fun, is going on because of the selfish and the clueless.

The crashes on this event are multiple and exhausting. I think that covers that subject.
Rezzing is a whole different issue. It’s not covered and I for one am tired of being left out of the “rewards” because I will rez others – and others feel the same – many of you.
We make a choice when we rez others – we make a conscious choice to get LESS loot because our efforts are going un-rewarded and not even in the calculation for “who hits and damages the bosses the most”.
DPS is the end all of the damage in this game – case in point? I can be late to any event and if I don’t rez others, pop every skill I have an make sure I am on a DPS oriented toon, I will most likely get “GOLD” for that event.
If I use any character, doesn’t matter which, who rezzes others, I WILL get Silver or Bronze for that even because I didn’t frenzy my way to “Gold” even if I am NOT late to that event.
Even so, some events award silver or bronze even if you have been there from the start and led the charge.
I am not a great player – with rheumatoid arthritis and lupus I don’t have the physical capability of some players, but I try to build my characters to be hardened enough to mitigate some of my own failings but rezzing isn’t a failing of MINE, it’s failing of the calculation in the game that doesn’t allow for “mercy” rather than “might” — the former is never rewarded – the latter is ALWAYS rewarded.
The crashes I am sure will resolve as they pin down the source of the code that is causing the crashes during or at the end of the Escape from Lion’s Arch event.
The rezzing is something that needs to be addressed eventually as players become more frustrated and tell others, meanly at times, to forget being rezzed and “just wp”.
If we aren’t supposed to help our fellow players up then take out the mechanic – or fix the algorithm to take into account that some players WANT and NEED to help others.

It’s not discrimination. It is rewarding those who’ve played wvw for years. Why should new players, who might leave wvw altogether when they have their rewards, get the same amount of pips as those loyal to the game mode?
I welcome everyone new to wvw, and hope you find it fun, but you have to earn your ranks and rewards like the rest of us. Wvw has been neglected for ages, so it is past time for those of us playing this game mode to get something from it.
Please remember, someone else’s rank doesn’t take away from your fun and rewards. Stick with wvw and you’ll get there soon enough yourself!
I have to agree.
Those who are in WvW now might stay but more likely once they have their ‘rewards’ they will leave, leaving huge holes where we need people.

Devon Carver on the Future of World vs. World
“Support play is vital to victory but unevenly rewarded in terms of World XP, XP, gold, karma, badges, and other tangibles. While those players rebuilding your walls may be performing a vital service, theirs is usually thankless work.”
“Scouts, siege masters, and defenders are only a sampling of the roles we intend to add to.”
-have there been any changes to scouting/defending rewards imbalances? Why is it currently more attractive in terms of rewards to only take structures?
“…it’s also good to have some variety in the servers that are matched up against one another so they all get a chance to test their mettle against multiple opponents.”
-Season 2 seems to go against this reason. I’ve spent the last ~2 months fighting the same servers.
“Our goal is to continue to encourage organized large groups while giving small, tactical groups the necessary tools to put a dent into larger mobs of less-skilled players. We think that it can be fun to run around in a zerg — but we also think that the game should be about tactical acumen and skill more than sheer numbers.”
-please direct your attention to the map blobs that characterize WvW
“…we will continue to make tweaks to the scoring system to properly reward smart play and to make it possible for a server to prevail over superior numbers with superior tactics.”
-???
“Right now our game rewards you for holding an objective, not necessarily for taking it, and overwhelmingly favors the last server to log out for the day. We have some ideas in the pipeline to try to increase scoring when people are playing the game and to make it much more difficult to keep your territory without actively guarding it.”
-coverage is the only thing that determines score. where did that pipeline go?
“…we don’t think that “MOAR arrow carts!” should be the answer to every situation.”
-moar arrow carts is literally the answer to every situation
“We have a lot of ideas (some crazy, some not) that we hope to release to make WvW an even more vibrant game; a game that will continue to grow and evolve for years to come.”
-this is the kicker for me; there has been so little in terms of WvW growth outside of account-bound WXP and the Obsidian Sanctum arena. Where are the ideas that Devon Carter was so excited to introduce? There has been serious burnout even among the most hardcore players who are sick of a gamemode that seems to ignore every ounce of player input. Where are the implementations of the numerous CDIs?
please make WvW exciting again.
Most servers are going to play the same servers over and over and over again until the next season not seeing any “new” faces – ever.
