Thank you for fixing the annoying guild issue where if more than 5 people entered the guild hall you have to change maps. Hopefully, it’s actually been fixed.

But Please, Please fix these!

1) I’ve reported this already to no avail, but please fix my chat resetting. It doesn’t just reset the chat and i lose all chat history, but it turns guild missions window blank in the guild panel, so i cannot launch a mission unless i rezone. This is especially annoying when out at mission location and this happens, often loading me back into a different instance to where my guild members are. Screenshot attached.

2) Please fix the minis not reappearing after game puts them away. This has been going on since HoT launched. This has been reported numerous times and as far as i know, you haven’t even acknowledged or responded to these concerns.

3) I noticed in the bug tracker, you’ve reported fixing our characters getting stuck, well for me, it’s not been fixed, in fact it’s happening more than ever now.

4) When you recently did some character animation changes, i noticed my Charr moves really weird when in Dry Top using aspect crystals, and it’s particularly bad when in combat as well. The animation reminds me of the Aviator one where you made our characters run around as if they’re plane, only its worse. She has this outstretched hands that are bent at the end in a very stiff position and she runs awkwardly like that with those arms sticking out. It seriously looks terrible. Probably not the best example of how bad it is but it should give you an idea. Screenshot attached.

There are other annoying bugs, but these are most bothersome to me right now and i would really appreciate you looking at fixing them. Thanks

I’d rather people not be overly sensitive – so a player did a little trolling to break up the monotony big deal the event will be back. The smallest harmless actions offend players who in return want blood – you might as well just be playing an online single player game with a heavily censored chat so that safespaces are kept intact.

It’s rather entertaining to send people into the lava after megadestroyer or to their icy death behind the ice wall at jormag.

We get it; you enjoy trolling. Not everyone else does. Wanting to be able to complete one of the tougher-to-complete events doesn’t equal wanting “safespaces” or warrant being told to play single-player games instead.

Thank you Anet!

I was very moved by the video you made for the 4th anniversy arenanet.
Videos like these allways make me connect to how you feel about your game and leave me with deep impressions afterwards.

I’ve had this game since launch, I only really got into it 2 years ago, I’m so glad I did and I wish we can all make this game even better, as developers and fans, doing what we love!
I hope you can keep these words in mind despite all the flood of suggestion and negative feedback you may sometimes recieve. After all, it’s just the desire we have to make this place even better ^^.

Tyria and “Fear Not This Night” will forever go hand in hand. It was my best reward for finishing the personal story – and I will do it again.

Every time I finish the personal story, I stop and listen to “Fear Not This Night” all the way through. It’s the best part of the reward for me too

Thank you, Anet: code writers, music composers, character designers, story writers, every one. You’ve given a lot of people a lot of fun over the last four years.

MMORPGs run on big active servers, and I’ve played in enough of them over the years to know that something bad requiring a rollback is inevitable, and I’ve seen them in many games. But what I’ve never seen before was the amazing way ANet kept us in the loop. Not just here on the Forums, but in Facebook as well, they kept us out of the dark and gave us regular updates. Most other games would have happily stayed silent until the problem was fixed, and then dealt with all the questions. So kudos to ANet for keeping a bad situation from getting worse by keeping us in the know.

Alaoglu, I’ve already sent my request to the support, because I think that this is a real issue. To everyone who thinks that compensation is not needed: you should value your time more

I value my time plenty by appreciating that I get to play this game for free (buy to play) and that the game is working 99.5% of the time. Anet already said that they will replace important items that were earned during the 2 hour period; all you have to do is contact support, which you’ve already done. Anet agreeing to replace those items is more than enough “compensation”. And I still feel that being able to continue playing the game is also good enough as far as compensation goes.

Sorry for all the people that lost time and stuff from the rollback. As a long time Diablo 2 player, where rollbacks of even a single game session can suck, I feel your pain.

Thank-you, ANet folks, for keeping us updated on this! Sure, I didn’t get to play at all yesterday after work, but I was able to log in this morning and completed the PvE Dailies in 15 minutes before rushing off to work, so it all worked out in the end. I am glad that I play in the evenings on week days, as that means I wasn’t affected by this bug beyond not being able to play for a day while the issue was fixed. This is the first big server closure to occur in all the time I’ve played this game, so I can’t complain.

This thread is great, you can clearly see who works in a tech industry and/or has worked on complex systems before. Surprised to see so much compassion for the devs, we must all be of the same breed.

Feels out to the team thats resolving this, kitten happens. Anybody who expects 4 years of a complex system like this with no issues just doesn’t understand systems. Yes be annoyed, but we’re all humans. you lost 1-2 hours ‘work’ playing the game, anet employees probably had hundreds of man hours, sweat and tears just to add the new minigame alone. Remember there’s a real person behind every developer/artist/animator/manager/documentor/analyst/engineer (the list goes on).

@ Artalion the Sale was flickering red from monday 6pm EU time (sale ends soon, wich means 24 hours left). It ends right after patch. Trade post already had it removing during the playtime after patch.

According to Mike O’brien purchases made in cash shop will not be rolled back, so if you purchased them you should still have them.

So tip for everyone, if it says SALE ENDS SOON (even without timer) it means 24h left, 6pm EU (+1 gmt) time aprox this ends (5-8 hours earlier on day for america, depending where you live). So buy fast, don’t doubt to long.

Legendary weapons can be hidden now!
No excuse anymore for not giving ‘hide mounts’-option

I can say this as a QA… One program is never bug-free… no matter how long you testing it there is always something…

One could write a simple cross platform Hello World program, and there would invariably be some oddball system out there that would choke on it.

Rollbacks are bad, mkay, but thanks Anet for being on top of this quickly and sorting out the issue.
Anyone playing cannot claim to have lost a lot of progress simply due to a few hours (out of an up-to 4 years of playing this game).

And I for one cannot remember any other serious incidents like this, so kudos to the Anet team for quickly resolving this!

ANet, we still love you! For me, it was the first rollback ever, though I´ll admit I was quite baffled this morning:

  • Wants to keep on crafting in LA
  • Notices that he´s somehow still in Harathi Hinterlands and has to redo his 100% there
  • Takes skeptic look at the liquor bottles scattered all over his desk
  • Shrugs

It was a good decision. Better rather soon than, say, after 24 hours. THAT would cause an uproar. And thanks for keeping us posted!

Well I don’t remember a patch at all yesterday so I think I will not be affected (I say ‘I think’ because I could be being an absolute idiot and forgetting about an update, lol). This is still pretty annoying though because I really need to get to legendary division today because I have been playing 5+ hours of just ranked pvp each day recently and I am still stuck 9 pips away and if I don’t get to play today I will be very, very upset. There are so many things I have to get done every day in pve as well and to miss out on them would just be awful, especially since I have no life and there is pretty much nothing I enjoy doing other than playing this game.

I do appreciate how Anet has told us exactly what is being done and why rather than just shutting down the servers for a bit without us knowing. I don’t play other games so I don’t know if this is the way it is always dealt with but I think it is good that they are telling us. Hopefully the servers will be up soon (or now!).

Well RIP most of my dailies… At least I did home instance gather last night…

Game’s been down for way too long. I think at this point some sort of compensation for both the losses in progress and the very long downtime would be right. Even something small.

A reminder. You don’t own your account. Arena net owns it and allows you to use it. Everything is theirs and any progress is their property.

That is true. However, PR wise it would be bad to let too much time go by without giving something in return to players.

I don’t think we’ve crossed that time point yet, however.

I dont mean to sound like a **** but i paid for the game, 2 special additions infact for the rytlock figures, and consistently pay in by buying not only HoT but other gem items I dont rent my account, its mine. They dont do the work, they dont earn the AP I do. Im not looking for any compensation but i cant stand that ‘’Anet owns it’’ mentality. When they put in the farming time and so on that I do then they can call it theirs

You can say you own it all you want, but the contract you sign says otherwise.

I don’t think any compensation is needed, other than perhaps extending the sale. Glad to see so many agree with me. Sorry about the rest

Glad I play evenings; I lose nothing. Als, VERY much appreciate the transparency. No matter what anyone else says, you guys are doing good simply by talking to us and explaining.

On the matter of compensation, I think the ONLY ‘compensation’ warranted is extending the sale one day, or even twelve hours, to preserve the amount of time things are available on it. It’s the only thing short-term enough to BE significantly impacted by the downtime.

About testing: all the in-house testing in the world won’t guarantee something might slip by and only get noticed live. Others have already explained the chaotic mess that MMO code is far better than I ever could, but it’s very easy to add something, test it every way you can think of, send it down, and then learn something seemingly-unrelated somehow broke.

Lastly…. I think this might be the first time a game bug actually mandated this game roll its servers back… ever. I certainly can’t recall it having been done, and I’ve been playing near-daily since launch.

Thank you Anet!

I have been with Guild Wars since the first beta of GW1 and I still remember how amazed my college roommates and I were back then by everything the game had to offer (IWAY builds for life!). This feeling continued to GW2 and to this day I have not found another game or franchise that has taken my breath away in the same manner.

While I have my personal gripes with the game, it has always been my go to game and the one I keep recommending to my friends and coworkers.

Thank you ArenaNet for creating such a wonderful world that we all call home. Here is to another great year!

Thank you so very much for such warm and wonderful comments.

Have you seen the 4th Anniversary Video? I love what our team has to say!

Many thanks to you and the rest of the ArenaNet team current and past. GW1 was my first online multiplayer game and GW2 is my gaming home. Now my daughters have started playing and love the game too. Big props to you Gaile for all your work in both games and for having a seemingly infinite amount of patience with the community!
