Guild Wars 2

UGH! I just posted a new topic, search is not working very well – I even scanned 3 pages to see if anyone else ran into the same problem. Happened to me today as well. Two pieces of siege and two greens.

• Looks like a fix is going in as of 7:40 eastern tonight – thanks!

Just did the EB JP for the first time since the patch (and the wallet) and got 2 greens and 2 pieces of siege, but no Badges. Was this an intended change? I didn’t notice anything in the patch notes . . .

Thanks!

Uriel.3684:

But think of all the copper we’ll save for the next 4 weeks on waypoints!!!

….and if that’s the only thing of value in all of this for some of us? I don’t do fractals – don’t enjoy them (5 of them were enough) I don’t buy BL keys…why would I, there’s nothing of value in them for me, so I’m left with WP savings. Since I waypoint a fair bit farming T6 mats, winner!

TehPwnerer.7215:

You need to start looking at it from the fractal standpoint.

You need to realize that not everyone shares your opinion on the wonders of fractals

Kiel has my vote as well!

Check to make sure there isn’t already a ‘physical’ upgrade running. If the worker(s) is just standing around – “talk” to him – if an upgrade was interrupted, that should restart it!

It’s kind of funny…over the past 11 months or so, I’ve noticed that there’s usually more dancing going on in the EBJP than anything. I still do it at least a few times per week and almost never get ‘ganked’ (Although it usually seems to be on my staff ele when it happens – I wonder why)

Currently broken on Yak’s Bend as well
Guested to Maguuma – broken there as well

Guested to Kaineng and it’s WORKING there!

patricide.1062:

lol @ Kaineng super zerg to take back Hills on KBL. 70+ with 5 omegas. 20 people killed all of your omegas and more than half your forces.

GG though. Only took ya guys 3 hours :P

Hey now! Play nice! It’s not like we NEVER do things like that!

Saint Scarlet.2906:

It’s been like this for almost a week now, Anet either haven’t had enough bug reports or don’t know whats wrong. theres been no comment from anet if they know it’s broken.

Oh there was a reply! All it said is that they don’t have enough time to respond to all reports!

We DON’T have great coverage and this is really affecting us It’s nearly impossible to defend wooden towers, much less a wooden SM – unless you have the manpower to have people watching everything – and except for evenings we don’t!

ArcTheFallen.7682:

They should make the mobs veterans.

Yeah – sure…and screw over those of us who are actually trying to do this in a level appropriate area. It’s hard enough trying to get kills in vs the 80’s roaming in Metrica.

There’s no real answer to solve this ‘problem’ except that it’s a boneheaded ‘mechanic’ that should never have been introduced in the first place.

We are aware of issues with WvW on some NA worlds, we are looking into it. ^MK

DeWolfe.2174:

Is this a dev’s way of getting people into sPvP????

Perhaps that dev could at least let us know what’s going on? Nothing on the tracker, nothing in here, nothing and no responses on Twitter.

Bleh!

majos.8503:

12 chests – 12 greens here… Nice drop chance Anet…

Yeah…I’m 10 for 10 on the greens as well!

I DID get some nice Sup siege that I’d LOVE to be able to use . . .

LilMcGinley.3890:

Thanks for the free 5 flips of CD’s valley ANet.

What else are people supposed to do

I tell people now to upgrade nothing but cannons – at least they’ll get some Wexp and loot – before porting out and then retaking!

lordkrall.7241:

Vaffelman.6954:

been a day now Anet, how are you intending to keep your WvW players?

They are working on fixing it. Simple as that.
They are simply hoping that the player-base consists of people that know that stuff can go wrong.

…and stop being an apologist.

Something this big, and integral to WvW should NEVER have made it to live, further, it should not STILL be happening nearly a day after starting!

Only crashed twice today – but still annoying. Both times in WvW and it was a ‘hard’ client crash. Could not alt-tab or control-esc. Had to bring up task manager and exit the client.

FWIW I have been lucky – today are the first two crashes I’ve had going all the way back to the beta weekends last year.

morrolan.9608:

Kyuzo.4675:

I have received 6 wvw chests so far and each chest gave one piece of siege, 5 badges and one green. Underwhelmed atm but perhaps the higher ranking chests have a better chance at something worthwhile.

One of the devs made a comment to the effect of supply of ectos increasing due to the chests, well it doesn’t look like it given the chance of even a rare is obviously low.

Freakin ridiculous! Yet they continue to allow unlimited farming of Southshore Isle champs. Yet again we are shown just how much they actually care about the WvW aspect of this game

majos.8503:

The drop from chests are really bad… I opened 4 chests… i got 4 greens… I think it should be at least one rare, ranks don’t come every 5min…

Why should this be any different than the 2 champion chests (killed the tree today – got 4!!! badges for a 20 minute fight) or the ‘new’ and ‘improved’ JP that won’t affect queues – did it today and got 2 greens, 2 pieces of siege and 7 badges – that’s just sad for a once per day account lockout period.

WvW has always gotten the short end of the stick. We’re an incidental add-on!

style.6173:

This is great news. People can at least see how WvW plays with no siege. At least then we know if it is more or less fun.

Except we have a zerg running around with multiple golems – and no way to counter them. Defending with golems especially while outmanned is…less…than optimal!

PS…while I understand bugs…something like this should NEVER have made it to live. Siege is integral to the way WvW has been setup. Very poor QC!

It’s happened to me twice today after the patch and hasn’t happened before this – even in Beta. The client completely froze in the foreground – could not alt-tab or CNTRL-ESC. Had to bring up task manager and close the non-responsive client.

Mad Rasputin.7809:

Why are you ignoring us PvE players and favoring the WvW crew?? They get to have ascended gear for less cost than us PvE guys? How is this even fair?

Why must I be forced to WvW to do my dailies now. It was bad before, but now there will be 3 WvW activities on the daily? This just proves you guys love the WvW crowd a lot more than the PvE crowd.

Amulets cost them 10 laurels less? Unfair.

Why can’t I spend my hard earned thick leather sections on ascended gear yet? Ignored and screwed by the man once again.

I realize this is sarcasm…BUT…you PVE’ers had your ascended items more than FOUR months ahead of us!

Take a look at the accumulated changes to Wv3 – and tell me you honestly still think A-Net loves us more!

Guild Wars 2 ?@GuildWars2 7m
We’re aware of the login issues and we’re working on it–thanks for your patience! ~RB2

Tweeted a few minutes ago – so they know

DavyMcB.1603:

the game thought my account was a free trial account…..

I was more than a little annoyed when this flashed on my screen – but when I tried to log back in and got the regular old Cannot connect to server issue (please FTLOG change that message – as it’s NEVER been my internet connection or router causing the problems) I figured it wasn’t my problem!

Pixelpumpkin.4608:

He wasn’t fine yesterday for me – maybe it is something that only occurs on certain servers? I’m TC but have been exclusively on different overflow servers so far.

A LOT is bugging out especially on the Overflows – All of the ‘save the NPC’ quests were bugged on the two overflows I was on today – meaning of course that all the waypoints were also permanently in contested status. Very annoying. Hopefully we can at least get a server restart.

DevonCarver.5370:

It is, essentially, another WvW map. You can still fight each other, it will behave exactly like the JP used to, except you will be removed from EB so someone who wants to come in to fight for objectives will not be kept from playing by someone running the JP.

Good! Can we now get the one chest per day per account reverted? Since the reasoning given was alleviating EB queues, and that reason is now gone!

Brain.4120:

lare.9512:

Finally, at least all the badge JP farmers are going to head of to their beloved PVE and leave the WvW slots to someone who actually give a kitten about WvW instead of whining in team chat “invaders in JP” or asking for mesmer portals.

That doesn’t make sense. If they’re farming for badges, they still have to queue WvW.

To add to this ‘non’ argument – here in T3 at least queues are now very VERY rare.

Doesn’t matter – until Anet removes the 2 Ori nodes (which I now expect soon) I’ll still run my 6 characters through (since it takes all of 2 minutes with a port).

Just goes to show how concerned they really are with WvW. When a change like this came to PVE – the chest contents were buffed – and you were guaranteed at least a rare once per day

Aneirin Cadwall.9126:

The internet’s infrastructure can only handle so much. It isn’t ANet’s servers. -_-

Neither of these are factors. It’s the engine!

Mif.3471:

There needs to be separate “piles”, where players cannot take supply marked for upgrading towers/keeps.

It was suggested more than a year ago in beta that claiming guilds be able to control supply – even shutting it off completely. Completely ignored then, and still being ignored now.

BrockMcCleery.9562:

1 WXP per 2 supply shouldn’t have people repairing simply to get WXP. I think they just want the XP to level up in most cases.

Not really – if a camp is close and flush with supply – I will ALWAYS repair 3 times per siege cycle. I make little enough coin in WvW as it is – every little bit helps – and if I can make 10 silver before a wall goes down – then that’s 10 more silver that I can sink into a tower later!

**Edited to add…I STILL feel the structures claiming guild should have control over the supply – however this has been suggested over and over and has gone no where – so I don’t expect anything of it.

Wow…what a bad BAD change…for pretty much all the varied reasons listed above. Not impressed at all!

The only ‘change’ to trebs I would like to see is when people start bombing the steps to a portal keep with them (Yes – even in T3 this happens in the daytime where one force completely outnumbers the other 2 combined)

It should automatically ‘spawn’ a counter shot from the portal area – eliminating the offending treb – and perhaps doing a combined AOE of say…500K damage.

I just don’t see why – in game terms – the Legendary defenders would allow trebbing of their steps – they certainly don’t allow people to get close!

Moodswings.9752:

After twenty minutes a worker dismantles the friendly flame ram within the keep and deposits all supply back into the shed. Just an idea, but I’m not keen on the players having the power to dismantle siege, even if they do have a commander tag.

I like this idea! Think it would be too complicated for them to code though

Different error code for me, but same problem. Even though Anet probably won’t read this – please consider changing the error message that’s generated with this problem – since EVERY time I’ve seen it, it definately has NOT been a problem on my end!

Edited to add that Evan just tweeted that they’re looking into it now (7:01 edt)

1. #2 #2!!!!!

I don’t know why guild support is so shoddy – I wish we’d get a reason – but it’s never addressed.

I mean even simple things like the ability to regulate supply in a guild owned keep (which has been suggested over and over and over in the last 6 months) is never heard of again once it drops off the main page (Weekly?)

I’d also have to add the seemingly new old lag (In at start – then seemed to get better, and now is back with a vengeance) On a map that is limited to 500 combatants – there’s NO way we should be seeing lag that is worse than old DAOC relic raids from 11 years ago.

Don’t get me wrong – I love the game – but I still think it wasn’t ready – and frankly – still isn’t!

Tyaen.5148:

Maybe it’s been asked before, but why wasn’t this an issue with Warhammer?

Or was it an issue that I just never saw with Warhammer?

If it wasn’t an issue, why don’t they look at how Bioware/Mythic implemented it? Would it have to big an impact on PvE, completely different engines so it’s not possible?

I really hate no longer being able to support an otherwise amazing game.

What they are ‘trying’ to do with the culling issues currently (load placeholders) is actually something that Mythic sort of did with Camelot back in the day.

I WILL say that I would much rather deal with lag, than invisible zergs – and yes – they are still occurring

Mike.7320:

Haha, had a YB zerg minutes ago bring their entire army up to The Godsword to take out some OG.

Its one thing to chase us off. You guys hunted us down lol. I tactically retreated from Godsword into the skritt cave still with 15+ people following me. Ridiculous YB

Pot? Meet kettle!

….and it was most likely a Karma train – since that’s pretty much what’s left for us right now ;P

Happening in our Overflow as well (checked and didn’t see you Aurick). How disappointing!

HDEurekaman.3901:

Any official word from Arena Net regarding this and the possibility we may lose out on content being that this is a one time event?

Last I heard was on Twitter 3 hours ago – that they were aware and working on a fix.

Oh yeah, still bugged on Yak’s – on every overflow I could get into, and on the main map as well

Since this is about Champion loot…back on topic….None of the champs done in Orr tonight have dropped anything. That’s the Broodmother, the champ after the Plinx line and the champ at the end of the arena. Did thyem all twice, got credit and experience, but there was no loot drop (for anyone)

mjharrison.3209:

No, if anything, make it once a month. If you’re changing servers more than once a month there’s something wrong, or you failed to do any forum research beforehand.

Agreed. Once a week still allows too much ‘farming’ which is all that’s really going on. Major guilds are still server hopping and influencing Wv3 matchups too much.

Arcadio.6875:

We’re pulling ahead! Of course, we could wake up to Yaks having double our score. Yeah, I’m still bitter about the TC match. We fought so hard and won primetime only to wake up to a match that was over and not in our favor. I’m really hoping the match stays close.

It’s kind of funny that this is being said about us, especially after last week. We pretty much won every US prime time night…sometimes pushing 500+ for hours straight…but lost it all early-mid morning

All in all some great battles tonight though! INSANE amount of siege at one point hitting our poor partially upgraded keep. Can’t believe we weasled our way out of that one!

Dregs.3804:

I have never seen any server repair like Yak’s did for Quentin. I hammered it for 30 minutes PAST the first wall upgrade with a treb, left for a bit then spent 2 straight hours on it.

/tipped cap

Thanks, BTW, for the Karma

Doors are currently bugged on Yak’s bend. I was a lucky one – only took me about 45 minutes to find a ‘broken’ one.

Broken is Yak’s Bend as well.

Getting my lowbie alts map completion doesn’t = fun for me Although there were some VERY good fights last night (I was VERY mad when we decided to defend an unupgraded SM over a fully stocked and upgraded WC – but you guys hit it at the right time!)

Looking at the numbers I saw last night – it seems both opposing teams have fair numbers – however we were consistantly able to respond with even more when needed. We are (obviously)in the wrong bracket.

As for the spawn campers…come on…grow up. This game is supposed to be fun! Please remember that. As for those being camped – do what we did a couple of times last week. When you DO have Gods, setup all the trebs you can on the mountain over the east exit. 10 trebs hitting anyone will make a mess of their zerg (I know, we once held 30+ off with 12 people – and 8 trebs)

*Edited to add that it’s funny that we are being accused of having a strong night presence – When we fought Maguuma – that was the time when the night presence was least obvious

Thundar.3910:

Oh and for clarification, behind this spawn camping ball of awesome we have siege!

Not all of us support that! (Although it can be great fun annoying the campers – just check around the nooks and crannies of your exit and you’ll see what I mean!)

Duv.1603:

rolls eyes

Yaks was beat the prior week without any transfers or “bandwagoners.” This week they just folded like a house of cards and didn’t bother to organize a fight back after Sanctum took the lead.

And it has nothing to do with 24-hour coverage. Yaks didn’t show up most nights even in primetime. The reason Yaks is “outnumbered” is because they didn’t bother to show up.

Yeah, that has to be it (and yes, that’s sarcasm in case you can’t tell!)

tkalamba.2541:

Corpus.5347:

I agree that the spawn camping is lame. Spawn camping with siege is even worse. WvWvW is my main reason for playing this game. being locked out of it sucks. I havent even been in it this week, pretty kitten anxious for this reset to happen as well. I hope everyone has a better matchup.

Spawn camping, while it is lame, can be countered/avoided. There’s a reason why every starting area has 3 exits, it gets difficult to camp all 3. The people being spawn camped need to learn to use the alternative exits. I see it on Rall all the time, all the side exits are always ignored. Rarely are they used. Everyone’s inclination is to run straight out the front gate, hence why camping has become so effective. While I do see occasionally someone uses the side exits, it is very very uncommon.

True….by this point, most of us don’t really care though – see the creative uses of broken invulnerability spots (I did bug a couple of them, although I don’t think you can see anything in the SS’s – since I had about 20 SoR on me trying anything they could to kill me – which didn’t happen until I stepped off and took the death that probably should have happened – but not before a few killing blows myself)

Elthurien.8356:

I think the transfers are for the greater benefit of the game. The top tiers were obviously too crowded with 5 hour WvW queues. hopefully the transfers are going to spread out though.

In a perfect world perhaps…however human nature being what it is….people want to win. Many of them are going to do anything that allows them that. Allowing effectively unlimited transferring with no penalties does not help the game in any way I can see.
