Guild Wars 2

Its not “only happening for certain cinematics”. This is occurring on and off for just about every personal story mission’s cinematic since the last update. It even occurred during the Citadel of Flame cinematics where Rytlock would speak but Logan would not.

A friend had this happen to him earlier tonight which caused him to simply go to bed and not try to play anymore.

Now, after tonight’s new build, I am getting the same thing. For the 9+minutes since i updated, I have had the Bloodtide Coast loading screen going with no end in sight.

Please help

I am on CD and just completed Sorrow’s Embrace story. I realize there was some major issues last night. My friends tried last night and had cutscene issues and could not complete the dungeon together. But tonight we ran through with zero issues.

Not to say this is not an issue, but it was fixed for us tonight.

This is a problem…. Toss in the fact that we have a bugged version of Tornado that does not turn into Whirlpool in PvE and we are seriously underpowered in the Elite skill department, even when we trait for them.

I don’t know who decided to put jumping puzzles in an MMORPG, but it wasn’t a good idea.

I know this isnt a Q/A question but the answer to your rhetorical question is “A Genius”. A lot of us who have been playing MMOs for over a decade are here because they are giving us more than the “go run this raid/dungeon”. We want a variety of content. Content that is not based around one ideal like the copycat games have done for the last eight years.

Some of us grew up on EQ, FFXI, Ultima Online and DAoC where exploration and open world adventure was the norm. Vistas give us part of this back. Not all, but here’s to hoping they add those promised things like Treasure Maps, Flags, and more Activities (and soon).

While I have not actually used a WvW Stat boost, I have used the 24hour PvE guild boosts. Currently you can not build multiples of these guild bonuses. Meaning you could not have 2 of them to activate simultaneously to do what you are asking.

During the first set of matchups, Ehmry Bay had the same problem. We were utterly and completely dominated by a single large server. But in the next matchup WE were the ones dominating and controlling everything.

Mostly I think it’s just too early to tell at this point. People are still levelling up and enjoying the PVE side of things. Not everyone is jumping directly into PVP or WvW. I’d say give it time to even out.

The bigger thing to remember is that not everyone is staying put on their initial server choice. Many larger WvW centric guilds have recently moved from their high population servers to medium pop servers so they can avoid 4+ hour queue times.

They are doing 24 hour matches in order to set up the system, but the shift in the server communities due to overcrowding is making a dramatic impact on matches as it stands.
