Guild Wars 2

Same issue here as OP,

@StinVec.3621 it must be on server side problem I tried your idea and it didn’t work. Same for deleting local.dat, -repair, flush dns, reboot, delete temp folders.

look for info here http://dulfy.net/2013/09/18/gw2-tequatl-boss-achievements-guide/

TehPwnerer.7215:

His name is AntiGW. I wouldn’t take anything he says too seriously since he is probably here to rile people up.

I’m glad I’m not the only one that sees this

Guild Wars 2 requires TCP ports 80, 443, 6112 and port 6600 be fully unrestricted and accessible, both inbound and outbound.

also you can download a port checker here to test your ports. http://portforward.com/help/portcheck.htm

So when reporting what is the best way should we report, just one line of verbal abuse or each line since we never know how long it will go on?

So that explains many of the DC’s the past few weeks, hope the all trolls get banned for abusing this.

That is very low of them

Please change it back to old animation and I bought 14 of them when they originally came out with the molten content. That’s alot of money for now what a crappy animation I now get for my money!

DON’T FIX WHAT AINT BROKE

14?….

No wonder they keep putting out expensive soulbound crap. People keep paying for it. :x

Must be a conspiracy that players are giving an opportunity to buy things they asked for and a company makes money!

That is very low of them

Turn off show all players’ names in options and you find Rox much easier

Norton is junk, Buy Kaspersky Internet Security is a great all round anti virus, firewall, ad/spam blocker protection with hourly updates. Plus it instant check web links and downloads for trojans etc when clicked.

Sanctum of Rall is borked too

Same for me and I m european player. So the european servers are located in North America ?

No, Texas is where the IP’s where registered from what was said last week in another thread I can’t find atm.

edit found a different one from what i was looking for but still the same answer

http://www.guildwars2guru.com/arenanet-tracker/topic/267932-eu-servers-in-texas/

GW2 engine is heavily modified engine and poorly optimized one at that since the game engine was built on 2007 era and older pc’s to insure people with low spec computer can play it.

Source gw2 wiki and many many gw2 dev blogs/interviews.

Save your money on a CPU upgrade as you won’t get much more FPS just overclock the one you have to get few more FPS same as a upgrade would get you without overclock.

here is some interesting reading I found after reading this thread.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-user_license_agreement#Enforceability_of_EULAs_in_the_United_States

The enforceability of an EULA depends on several factors, one of them being the court in which the case is heard. Some courts that have addressed the validity of the shrinkwrap license agreements have found some EULAs to be invalid, characterizing them as contracts of adhesion, unconscionable, and/or unacceptable pursuant to the U.C.C.—see, for instance, Step-Saver Data Systems, Inc. v. Wyse Technology,⁴ Vault Corp. v. Quaid Software Ltd..⁵ Other courts have determined that the shrinkwrap license agreement is valid and enforceable: see ProCD, Inc. v. Zeidenberg,⁶ Microsoft v. Harmony Computers,⁷ Novell v. Network Trade Center,⁸ and Ariz. Cartridge Remanufacturers kitten ’n v. Lexmark Int’l, Inc.⁹ may have some bearing as well. No court has ruled on the validity of EULAs generally; decisions are limited to particular provisions and terms.

Oh please BG and JQ always 2v1 SoR

Sure and that is why BG beat both JQ and SoR yesterday when the EB SM fight lasted 2 hours with 30 sec lagfest on all skills and BG still managed to beat both servers with Noodles commanding.

If there is a 2v1 it is mostly against Blackgate because Blackgate is the top server in T1…it is as simple as that. You fight the top guys because they are the target and you hope the other server will do the same.

EB map doesn’t count as far as I’m concerned because who ever holds SM is always 2v1 since holding SM puts huge target on that server. So that should be common knowledge by now and nothing to do really with what I was talking. While the undisputable fact remains JQ and BG doubled up on SoR many times. That hate amongst the 3 servers runs deeper than which server is on top at the moment and that hasn’t changed the 2v1 from what I’ve seen.

Even SoR has held off JQ and BG 2v1 on SM for hours before FYI so chest thumping remains in check in here.

mercury ranique.2170:

Ok let’s take the rulebook out.
‘You will not exploit any bug in Guild Wars 2 and you will not communicate the existence of any such exploitable bug (bugs that grant the user unnatural or unintended benefits) either directly or through public posting, to any other user of Guild Wars 2.’

I agree with what the rules say

mercury ranique.2170:

This one is in order for this debate. First off all, if this is an exploit the OP is in violation of this rules cause he is advertising it. That makes this thread allready pointless. cause if you claim this is an exploit, we shouldn’t be talking bout it cause it is adverstising the same thing.

The fact remains it’s still up to Anet too decide if this is an exploit or not.

mercury ranique.2170:

The most important word is benefit. a benefit is when you do or know something other players have no way of knowing bout it, and you are harming them. the sanctum sprint is a competitive activity, so the only way to have such a benefit (to win) is to know something others have no way to know bout. In this case the method is obvious visable and detectable to all players who are good enough to be in a competing distance of the person using this short cut. So nothing is stopping others to do so as well.

Shortly after release many people took advantage of a Karma vendor price of a certain item and many of those did got banned because Anet decided it was an exploit. Even though Anet are ones that made the mistake in the first place when they set the prices of items at the karma vendor. (The karma vendor is avalialbe to every single player ingame)

mercury ranique.2170:

Yes, it is to the judgement if arenanet to decide if this is an exploit or not. but just as us they are bound to the user agreement. So IF arenanet thinks this is so important that they want to ban people over it, and IF it is presented at a court of law that can judge in this matter (would be an usa court), do you have any argument against my explanation of the rules we agreed on when we started playing the game (rules written by arenanet). Please tell where my argument is wrong, just saying that arenanet might disagree is not sufficient. The rules applies to them as well.

Dunno why you bring up judge & court for, this has nothing to do with the courts in anway at all.

mercury ranique.2170:

But to make it easier. If you think this is an exploit . did you report the OP on breaking the rule on advertising an exploit as well

Did you report the OP? Like I’ve said it’s up to Anet to decide if this is an exploit/unintended shortcut when they made the map.

package.5147:

Glad to have this matchup back all the others are soooo boring. Just sucks that SoR and JQ have to resort to 2v1.

Oh please BG and JQ always 2v1 SoR

mercury ranique.2170:

No no no, this isn’t an exploit (and accusing people of exploiting is a hard accusation) it might not even be a bug. It is a short cut.

an exploit is when people are getting an unequal advantage that is too good to be true. This advantage isn’t unequal. You, and me can do it as well. So it is not an exploit. Cause nobody is harmed (we can all do this) it isn’t bad either, so it isn’t a bug.

It’s up for Anet to decide if this is legit intended or unintended short cut/exploit and not the the player base becuase of course the players base will say extactly what you’ve said.

You claim no one is harmed? Many people would’ve came in first running he full course like it was ment to be till some one takes this shortcut to beat them robbing them of progress of their AP’s. So becuase we all can do this doesn’t make it okay either like other exploits found in the game is a big NO NO.

I rolled back too Logitech G700 Driver 5.33.14 Setpoint 5.46.10 and NO more issues for me

For the moment the Devs want it like this becuase they want us to have a sense of permanence it’s all in Dev interviews/blog post, plus it’s a gold sink.

Safire.9143:

Hello,
- Please pass it to fix to devs and delete so noone can see this !!

Then why post a pic with detailed instructions on how to do this so even more people can do it if you wanted no one to see this? Especially on a weekend when they are less likely do anything about it if anything at all it would be during the week!!!

Peetee.9406:

Maybe I’m just blissfully ignorant but its been months since Ive seen a bot.

Same here, it’s been about past 6 months or me, the first six months of release you could see hundres of bots each day depending how much you changed maps.

AnthonyOrdon.3926:

There are some changes in the upcoming release to mitigate the severity of this problem. We’re also looking at making some long-term improvements to the Twisted Clockwork invasions.

Time gated champ loot?

Crystal Reid.2481:

Tequatl will spawn in a similar fashion as the Clockwork Invasion. If an overflow is created within 10 minutes of the event spawning, he will also spawn there as well.

Please please do this to all world bosses as makes it more worthwhile and not having player worry about getting stuck in overflow server waiting to do world bosses much later than on main server.

I’m thinking it may have to do more with the all the skill flash effects since culling is removed, maybe anet toning down on all the skill effects. Would help the players see what we are targeting in the big groups and cause less lag/skill lag.

The event timer lags dunno if has to do with all the players there, each time I do the event I always crash each time just before I can get to the rewards chest.

8GB ram
1GB on ATI 6870
Win 64bit
onboard sound
2 ssd’s in raid

It’s not a bug, the hair is removed to prevent clipping issues with allot of the helms, the same thing in GW1 and other games do the same thing with similar items.

Adine.2184:

they do have world boss events but the timer isn’t always going to be in sync with the server you came from

Hmmm, it would be nice if they would be in sync with the main server like the scarlet invasions is prety much is what I’m asking for. So it can’t be abused and as it would give more players doing these events instead of standing around waitng for an event to pop up, it’s already bad enough with the events not always on time. So now we have to compete how gets their first which isn’t fun in anyway at all since only the first 100 people or what ever the map cap is gets T7 mats rewards while the other 400 or so gets lefts out, and that sucks IHMO.

Overflow Servers Need World Boss Events since tons of people are doing these world boss events, its ether camp out long before the event or get put in overflow. Comes down to people’s time since we have real life jobs, school, family/kids, wife/hubby to plan around playing the game and doing these world boss events. If the overflow servers get world boss events it would encourage more people to do them and that’s a good thing for the game right?

Overflow servers are not cool unless farming scarlet invasion champs!!!

This new T7 mat grind is totally ridiculous with game crash with error codes 7 or 58 just before chest spawns so you lose out on rewards. Too big of a zerg make it’s hard to get hits in to count before something dies so you lose rewards. Events are on a timer and often run over due so it makes us waste time to even try to get these new mats. Since everyone wants these new mats so if we get to the map late you are put in an overflow server missing out on the world boss fight and rewards making us waste more time. With this patch they put massive grind into the game when they claim they don’t make grindy games they leave the grindy games to someone else to make which totally skunk smell…!!!!

Its still the same issue we both are talking about

The credit issue have always been an issue with the game since release weather it’s from lag due to all the calculations the server has to do or the events always give credit to X amount of people per event. During the scarlet invasions if the zerg was too big people wouldn’t get credit for killing the champs. If you get with a smaller group you will get credit then if you get enough hits in. So bug or lag issues?

This issues will be more complained about since the dragonite ore is tied to world boss chest/lords kills.

I agree and it’s why I made a suggestion thread hoping we will get t7 nodes instead of the current setup because of this problem.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/T7-mats-should-have-nodes/first#post2777550

It’s been really tough to get Dragonite Ore with the current setup.

killing World Bosses, WvW Lords/Supervisors or capturing things in WvW you don’t always get credit for it so it becomes an issue and will take us longer to get new Mats. = much fustration.

With big groups/zergs is hard to get enough damage in to even to try to get credit since things tend to die really fast. Some classes can get off hits faster than others so it makes slower classes a harder to get the new mats in the current setup.

T7 nodes are guaranteed mats = good thing for all players since it’s less of a hassel and not wondering if you’re going to get credit for kills or from capturing things in WvW.

Anet will not take any action on siege/supply trolls even though it clearly says in the EULA/TOS that any griefing is not allowed. Many people on my server reported a major pain supply troll many many times whith screen shots etc no action taken by Anet. It only stopped after I talked with the guild leader couple time with screens shot of the chat etc.

Content is being largely being paid for by the sales from the gem store.

New info where? We don’t know what will happen till we get the patch & notes.

3,112 hours played and I’m still waiting on my first precursor drop! No Grind is just PR magic smoke screen.

Dark Catalyst.1028:

Well, my current hard drive isn’t an SSD, but that was also on my list of upgrades. Would you mind suggesting a good one?

OCZ Vertex 4 are good SSD’s

This is nothing new which we have known for a while from other interviews they are focused on living world and not on expansions right now

I don’t mean to sound rude here, yes it may be your provider and you just don’t know it or want to hear that it might be. I’ve said the same thing when I was having the same exact issue as you “It’s not my ISP etc” Like I said above I was wrong and it with my ISP. You don’ know with 100% certainty it’s the games fault and you won’t know what the problem is unless you go through trouble shooting process yourself and or have your ISP come to make sure as process of elimination of possible causes to your issue and no just posting here on the forum is going to fix your issues by itself.

you can start with Downloading pingplotter and run it then Download Game Advisor Diagnostic Report
https://help.ncsoft.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/7386/~/game-advisor-diagnostic-report

edit I forgot while in game in the chat box type /ip then put ip in ping plotter and do test.

It’s a packet loss issue support will tell you then they will tell you to call your ISP after they ask you to run ping plotter and game advisor report tool. Try hardreset your router press and hold for 30 sec then let router reboot, and power cycle your modem, check your cables. make sure ports are open. In all honesity it wouldn’t hurt to call your ISP to come out and make sure everything is fine. It’s what I had to do to fix this issue for me. Before you say it’s not on your end you may be suprised like I was. It was a bad RJ45 connection outside in the box!

jjunior.8935:

got DC every 10-20 minutes, since friday (23.8.)

It happened to me as well, I unplugged my router for hours then plugged it back in and all was fine.

miruza.9351:

we all know alot of thread like this with the same problem, yet not even one thread got responded by Anet. silly me still checking it everyday

Yeah it comes down to RNGing for them to help and more RNGing for the one helping you actually tries with an knowledgeable response instead of an troll one. Which why I posted here instead of opening another ticket hoping someone from the player base may offer some help.

I was having the same issue, I turned off my router before I went to bed the other night, in the morning I plugged it back in and been playing just fine since.

For some reason I’ve gotten this error few times in the past couple of months and it still puzzels me as to why.

Window 7 64bit with 8GB of Ram, ssd’s in raid, ati 6870 video card, onboard sound. i7 2600K OC to 4.2GHZ

got mine for 14g 75s before price went back up

You can file a police report with your local police department so they can contact Anet to gets players address then take necessary action. Before anyone laughs you can get in trouble for harassment or from threats made through video games over the Itnernet. Yes it’s a crime!!

StinVec.3621:

Here is a list of NA and EU server IP addresses. I’m not sure how up to date it is though as it is from 8 months ago. You can try pinging each of them or just the ones that are relevant to your area to see if it is still valid.

Though someone here says this list is not of pingable addresses.
http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/95655/is-there-a-list-of-guild-wars-2-servers

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/Updated-World-Ratings-Dec-7/947794

Those are WvWvW Rankings from 8 months ago and are NO way IP address in anyway at all.

In game chat box type /ip you get the server IP you’re on.
