Routing issues who is to blame/responsible?

Yea same here, got told my Trial account ( didn’t know the collectors edition was a trial account ) cannot access WvW and we all got kicked out, ( all on TS3 ) even the ones in other areas of the game got booted, seems to be global.
Be grateful you could play, I entered it, and had 3 karkas spawn on me, and sit there the entire match, while the guy with the crab stood in the corner getting points, everytime respawned the 3 karka’s instantly downed me, how the hell are you supposed to play this when only 1 person can win because the karkas just sit on you, stupid doesn’t even come close.
They mean they cannot move from there homeworld boarder land to an enemies one,
Be grateful if you leave WvW you will not beable to get back in, it just keeps telling me the matches are being updated check back shortly, its been 30 mins already, yet I can see the scores changing, so if server has more ppl online they will dominate as no one else can get in.

They are not preventing the event from continuing, you just need to finish the event, and the chain continues automatically, its been done several times on different servers already.
Same on Yaks Bend, Error 502.
Same on Yaks Bend ( US ) lag is bad, trading post doesn’t work, adding people to parties takes awhile to respond, game in general is bad today.
I ran GW on an SSD now, and the loads times are much much faster, actual game play you wont notice a difference, but loads times will be vastly improved.
That’s something anet is already looking at, they said that AC’s shouldn’t beable to destroy siege as there is an issue with there new range being as far or close to the range of a cata, making it pointless, you would nearly have to use a treb to take a wall down.
The simplest way to discourage the zerg is to remove the ability to revive dead players. When you face a massive zerg with your guild group, you can only kill so many in one push. The problem is the rest of the zerg can ress everyone up within seconds.
Just make dead players stay dead and everything should be fine.
Only dead, not downed, that’s actually a fairly good idea, however, what if your zerg is pushing say SM Castle, and there are 1/5 of your zerg defending but they siege you down to nothing, by the time you get back across the map you would have to start all over again, I don’t see this working well, espically in some of the boarderland battles, good idea though.
You can get into any camp/tower on the map no matter how well siege is placed, it just takes tactics and time, the days of running up to a gate and beating it down in minutes are gone.
The only think that really needs fixing is the AC range, and being able to attack threw walls/mountains.
@shoebox, at the time of the OP which was 20 days ago, it was caused by the SAB camera glitch, it was well documented, and was being widely abused,
Just because SAB is gone, it doesn’t mean the glitch where the camera gets stuck in zoomed out mode goes away, it looks like from your screen shot that with the update to arrow carts, they have used the upgrade feature, turned there camera away from mountain to push the camera high into the sky, as the mountain is a blocking volume,
There are a number of issues with the arrow carts atm, on EBG you can fire the arrow cart into the dredge cave even though you have no line of sight, we got destroyed in that cave because a member of Mag’s was using it against us.
Id take a Necro before a warrior, someone who knows how to play a Necro can keep them stacks of conditions up, can make some of them boss fights a breeze, espically the fights where you just cannot tank them….
The AoE limit is due to technical limitations.
Surely this is something the team can look at for a future update, with the changes to skills, because its slowly making WvW a ZvZ
Now that they have been made 1 chest per account per day, can you please at least start making the drops from them decent.
Problem with them not touching CoF again this month, even though its the most run dungeon in the game x100, surely anet have got to see that as economy breaking, the drops, even if its from exotics alone, sure the rate might be low but if you have wave upon wave running threw the dungeon 100’s times a day the numbers are in your favour, yet those who run it normally get stuck with the crap drop rate, poor very very poor.
Face it, FotM gimic is over, they got everyone in there when it came out because they wanted us in there, the thought of good drops/skins etc, everyone flooded to it, now the gimic is over, they ignore it, the drops in FotM lvl 20-30+ have been bad for along time now,
Hell look at tonights update, they still did not address the masses of zerker war’s running threw CoF in mere minutes…. don’t expect anything for FotM.
It is indeed a flawed system, if you have Story Mode unlocked already and the party leader leaves you should not get kicked, if no one else has Story Mode then you should be removed from the Dungeon as you should not be there,
In saying that, its beyond bloody stupid that you have to do Story Mode on every toon you own to unlock explorer mode, you already did the dam story once, why do I need to do it multiply times does the story change…….
The app for the phone does this, I have it set on my account, if my IP changes I have to enter the 6 digit code on the authenticator that is linked to my account before I can get into it. The code on the phone is only good for 30 seconds then it expires.
I cannot represent one of the guilds I am in, I tried to use the influence bags you get as a reward, and it told me I was not representing a guild, I can swap out to another guild, but my main guild its like it does not exist, yet others can change out no problems.
Really Anet how many patches have went into the game now, and this is still bugged, can you just delete the entire achievement line, as its stuck at 81/83 and you clearly don’t know how to fix it, so can you delete it.
Why not just implement it anyway? No need to talk to an NPC.
1) Go into Dungeon / Fractal
2) Slaughter everything.
3) Receive prize.
If you’re talking about open-world, I disagree, simply because it removes players from the world.
Yes its open world,. it would only remove players from the open world to vanq that zone, look around right now, if your in part of the world that has no world event, you don’t have anyone in that zone to play with anyway, I do not see the problem.
Don’t do anything, it will be fixed in patch today at some point.
Thanks for the reply DavidOrtiz :o)
Guild mate with no issues added me to party, I got the invite accepted it and nothing happened, he went into SAB and I didn’t get window, but when I went to SAB myself it asked me to join him, I did, we where about 3 mins into it and it kicked me out and it told him I left the party, then it kicked him out because the party was apparently broken,
Seems today is not the day for running FOTM, Dungeons, WvW, or playing in general.
Same here im an EU player on an NA server same issues,
No friends list
No guild list
Cannot join party either.
A friend who is online from Australia in the same guild is having no issues game is ok for him, so its a local region error it seems.
Don’t worry about it, its a game glitch, I have it aswell, its fairly common, it will resolve itself soon.
Anyone who played GW1 will know what this is,
There should be an NPC in each zone, that your party can go to and request to vanquish the zone you are in, you then get instanced to the zone as is ( like a dungeon/ FotM / storyline ) you then proceed to vanquish the area as normal, all enemies that are in that zone as it stands, champs/vets/trashmobs etc,
Completion of a zone could yield a chest for the party to loot etc.
or even put an NPC into LA, where you can go to and select a zone to vanquish.
Its not an easy dungeon, people “think” its easy because its the first dungeon you encounter, it needs some serious attention but I cannot see it happening, with a reasonable team setup you can get threw it, problem is getting a team as everyone wants to run the super super easy CoF, well until tonight lets hope.
I personally have an i7 3770k and it can eat anything I throw at it, it will handle any program with ease.
All these changes and yet Ele’s will still beable to Vapor Form through the portals into keeps/towers etc when in downed state and cannot be attacked, this is the only class that has the ability to escape downed into a safe location. Are you going to boost the others classes so we can escape into a portal to avoid death too????
Ive played GW since launch on both games, but I would not pay a subscription for GW2, there changes that are done to not really favour the most, they are aimed at small groups but effect big groups, look at upcoming changes to mesmers, yet we still see perma invis thiefs, they are forcing us slowly to run around in zergs, look at others updates etc
In saying all of that, if there was a subscription fee, they may not be so quick to nerf something, as when you start nerfing the skills of the players who are paying to play, you can quickly kill your player base……..
Going to sound stupid here, but your username is your email you know that right.
I don’t know why they are changing this, it only slows down the person on the treb who is attacking.
Who said you had to use it, I run Mesmer, and the portal can vastly help my team in some situations, no one said you had to take the short cut…..
Both the exotics dropped from enemies, not bosses just random enemies, 5 of the 9 rares where drops also, everything else was chest, so far I haven’t had anything close to that again, I see people running lvl 40+ and getting crap for drops, its pointless, everyone might aswell just join the CoF farm train, they get better rewards for it.
When you say 100 you mean level 100, I believe the upper limit for now is around 60 because the AR past this level is not achievable yet, maybe some hardcore FotM runers can shed light on that though.
Im still not sure about MF I will need to test it more, if friends etc need low level Fractals I will run a full MF set.
Yesturday I did a lvl 12 fractals with full MF gear and came out with 9 rares, 2 exotics, and 2 charged cores, now that’s fairly decent, I then did a lvl 20 later in the day with no MF gear, and didn’t get a single rare, exotic, core nothing, all blues and greens…….will test it more though.
Im sure it will support some games into the future but like all computers ( desktops/laptops) they will only go so far, because technology is moving faster.
Wouldn’t worry about it to be honest, your just a normal player and bots are getting smarter in the way they are used, im sure after Anet review the account you reported if it doesn’t show any signs of botting it will just be ignored.
If you ever seen some of the people running around the cursed shore farming ud swear they where bots too, only for the fact they can have conversations with you.
Nice,
Thanks for the response guys n gals :o)
This is what happens when Anet allowed PvE skills to be used in a PvP environment, this is going to be like GW1 all over, only this time we have a very small limited number of skills to use, with the AoE limit in place, it looks like they really want us to be running around zerg vs zerg, will be interesting to see what they do to other classes,
They should just bite the bullet now and completely separate WvW from PvE altogether.
No. Ascended gear + Fractal unique skins vs guanteed bad drops in dungeons too, just alot more silver.
No one makes you farm fotm for gold. It would be OP if they dropped silver. EVERYTHING, Skins, money, exotics, ascended gear, lets throw precursors chance upped too while were at this wish list for all your farm needs in 1
There are groups that can roll threw CoF paths 1 and 2, 10 times over in the same time it would take you to roll through a FotM lvl 40,
Yet the ones steam rolling threw the dungeon are getting 1g per run from drops, yet the ones going threw the fractals are killing maybe 8-10+champs and getting squat from them……
I run an
i7 3770k
Nvidia 680GTX
In FotM the loot from the champ bosses is poor, yesterday I got 1silver and a blue from a champ boss,
In normal dungeons when you kill a boss you can get 10Silver+ whatever else they drop, why are the champ bosses in FotM not on the same table, it takes longer to run some fractals than it does to run some dungeons over and over again……
Unbalanced much?
Hey, this is basically a question for those who have high screen resolution, the new monitor im looking at getting has a native res of 2560×1440
Basically does anyone play at this res, if so how does your game handle, I don’t want to get a monitor that has this res if I have to force downscale to play the game as it will just look poor.
Yes I understand sPvP and the like are completely different, but I outmatched him in skill, he was making beginner’s mistakes with his Thief… he just.. was CONSTANTLY in stealth. I received backstab like 5 times.
Does anyone have any sort of strategy for fighting these things?
Welcome to the WvW Thief, you’d better get used to that fast, be greatful your only starting WvW now, as before they could perma stealth and sit in a corner and prevent capping of points.
Dailies/Monthlies should be removed from the achievement pool.
You better remove WvW and sPvP from that too, as not everyone plays sPvP and WvW and there are a few points to be had there, also remove the FotM ones and all Dungeon points too, as not everyone does them, do you see the problems your running into here by trying to change something that really has no bearing on the game at all.
Who cares, you don’t get a special title, of reward for being in the top 1000, or top 10 or even rank 1, yet some are really crying hard about it, I seen this in another game where people cried to the admin non stop about how new players couldn’t catch up yadda yadda, and they caved in and made it easier for newer players, BOOM the game is dead now, its the nature of MMO’s there all the same, those who have been there longer will have more,
So if they made it that newer players could go back and get the rewards for previous months that where handed out ( BEFORE THEY BOUGHT THE GAME ) how does that make it fair to say someone who has played from day one, but maybe had there comp crash and couldn’t complete a few dailies or a monthly, hell why not just let new players go roll that Karka event and get a precursor drop from that end chest too, after all they missed that too right… get real.
Trying to change this now does not help the game in any way, don’t try to fix what is not broken.
