Yes, you are forced to do ‘adventures’. Stupid gimmicky time gated sometimes unavailable mini games is a better description. You need 13 silver to complete your mastery lines in H0T if you pick up every other point from everywhere except raids.
Not everyone has hours to spare or wants to spend their short, valuable leisure time doing something they despise (if it’s even open when they can log in). Having to watch a video in order to have some clue of how to complete this garbage isn’t my idea of fun content either.
Agree,
When I started playing video games, I enjoyed fighting and went away from donkey-kong and marios. When he appeared MMO’s the idea of taking swords and fight appeared to me also attractive. Fortunately, now I know of one more item to check before choosing any MMO: check that it is not a replica of Mario Bros. and Donkey Kong rather than a fighting game.
My suggestion to solve the problem of family oriented guilds, or small groups of 10 people for less, is improve the Home Instance which is a feature with great potential, but wasted and relatively deserted, Anet could make the Home Instance something parallel the Guild Halls. Bringing content and challenges for solo players or small groups.
I am against the idea diminish the requirements of Guild Halls, the thing is a giant castle. In real life three people could not keep a castle.

When I try make my ascended armor, the first thing I discovered is that there were time gated items. Then I saw the TP that such items were also too expensive to my standards, it seemed impossible to buy about 30 bolts of damask.
So I changed my tactic, I calculated how many days I have to. Put a goal to do one bolt of damask per day, in something like 30 days I finished my full armor.
Go to Orr.
Probably the best and most underrated game map. You can spend hours on it without feeling always repeating the same content and there are always some action there.
When the expansion come, I was eager to have the “pact comander” for some reason. With no patience for nonsense Cof farm, I went to Orr.

Theres a problem with some DNS routes, and nd estrangely with everything involving silverwastes and Living World Season 2 private instance.
I solved this by changing my Google DNS DNS to OpenDNS.
The Anet has to pay attention to this problem. Not all players have advanced knowledge like me.
The symptoms are more severe when entering private instance of “Living World Season 2”. The problem disappeared when I stopped using GoogleDNS.
Other procedures:
DNS cache cleaning
Reconnect after clearing the cache.
Ok . Im about to rip my hair out and run around the block naked!! I can’t complete the world summit in Dragon’s Reach II . It disconnects me every time and I get a network error message when fighting the Dragon and have to start the whole instance all over again.
I can play any other part of the game , Fractals, dungeons etc for hours on end and not have an issue.
Yet every time I attempt the world summit I get disconnected and I need the reward to make Mawdrey . Its the last kitten piece I need.
I really really don’t want to have to ask my friend to log in from his house and see if he can do it for me.
and I don’t have HoT
Theres a problem with some DNS routes, i solved this problem changind the Googledns to Opendns.
I solved the problem, entirely by myself.
Anet should pay to more attention to this issue. Very few players probably aware “hard core” knowledge of software. They should provide some basic guidance on how to the maintain “health” of the DNS and how to perform some tests.
For what it’s worth, I’m not a fan of “Zerg Wars” (zerging literally makes me fall asleep), and rarely spend much time following commander tags around in either PvE or WvW.
We’re definitely seeing the same phenomenon in HoT, but it does appear that many of the events are designed to reward players for not zerging, and indeed punishing zerging by causing meta events to fail if players don’t simultaneously complete multiple objectives in different locations.
It is the same perception that I have, the new maps are designed as alternatives to Zerg-intense farm Silverwastes model. Possibly it is quite experimental.
On the topic of the early complaints, which I realize is just teething problems which are overcome with the masteries. Verdank Brink becomes a walk in the park when you have the materies Glid.
In the current Tyria we have 3 models currently core map, magumma wastes and now Heart of Thorns.
Suggestion for Anet involving Mentor tags
in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns
Posted by: ugrakarma.9416
as it is rare to see rude commanders, it is also rare to see misuse of mentor tag, and such cases are exceptions. Keeping in mind that it is easy to achieve and yet on most maps we see more commanders tags than mentors, which indicates that the player base is making conscious use.
The problem I see is that many countries have many subjective, obscure laws on “encouraging suicide”, which can take someone with bad intentions to want to make money suing the company.
From a business point of view, I would not recommend further that, unless the Anet is willing to bears cost judicais experts to handle paranoid people will blame the game for the conduct of their players.
I do not understand what you guys are whining, very soon we will see in LFG some thing like “Verdank brink train”, and then a huge crowd following a comander demolishing everything ahead.
For solo players, it really is a harsh map, but reasonable content. I’ve seen other standard games like the new content not meant to be unlocked all in one day, but a few months.
we are being ignored.
i have been dealing with this issue here, thats
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/support/Connection-error-7-11-3-191-101-merged
and here
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/support/Ping-spikes-and-disconnects
in my latest posts indicate a procedure in windows that alleviates the problem, but not completely solve at least reduces the frequency of disconnections.
today, when WvW shutdown for maintenance, theres 0 disconnections, its clearly a problem with their servers.

I folowed the tips here and seens worked nice.
JediYodarun cmd.exe in admin mode then type ipconfig /flushdns press enter
then type in netsh winsock reset in command prompt and press enter button.
reboot pc
it should help some since spyware/adware like to goof up the pc’s winsock from time to time.

I owe a bottle of good Whisky for @JediYoda. I followed the tips and it worked great here, more than two hours in fractals (which was the worst case) without disconnecting, used the post trading and teleported across multiple maps, no apparent problem yet.
I hope that at least the team Anet include this in some kind of list of solutions.
After more than 20 days of suffering and have renewed my whole internet infrastructure. (that began in the last Mordrem event), for me the case is closed.
JediYodarun cmd.exe in admin mode then type ipconfig /flushdns press enter
then type in netsh winsock reset in command prompt and press enter button.

my diagnostic with same packet loss
10 —- 50/ 50 =100% 29/ 50 = 58% ae-3-80.edge6.Frankfurt1.Level3.net [4.69.154.138]
11 —- 50/ 50 =100% 29/ 50 = 58% ae-3-80.edge6.Frankfurt1.Level3.net [4.69.154.138]
The things got worse on Fractals, and/or after teleport, or after intense use of Trading Post and in main cities. Its becoming impossible to play.
Same here, lost packets on Frankfurt, and im from Brazil. I giver large details on link below, but we are being ignored. Many players from differente countries with same issue.
Today the problem continues and gets worse in fractals, was more than 1 hour in kessex hills ok, but if I enter a fractal am kicked in 30 seconds. I’m turning into a kind of pariah in this game, where I can only play open world. Involuntarily, no more difference between my account and free play, since I can only play the partial contente of the game. The fractals is extremely ridiculous, because it seems to have that certain time is 30 seconds and goodbye.
About 20 days ago I said he feared that turned the rule and is becoming the rule. Now playing guild wars includes having patience and wait for the luck of not being disconnected avoid fractals because in fractals Indepedent to be the “lucky time” or not is sure to be disconnected after 20 seconds.
That is going to have to give up the game, even having bought the HoT. I do not like games with this concept to be patient because their servers cause mysterious disconnections.
The other detail is that my free time is this weekend, exactly where this problem worse. I left several games because of the same problem, your servers do not seem to handle the demand on weekends.
Today(saturday)(20:15 server time, 17:15 brazilian time) the problem is worst than yesterday i cant stand on lions arch more than 2 minutes.
On last hope, i tried change somethings on my web structure:
-disabled firewalls in all levels even windows firewalls.
-tested 3 differents DNS servers.
-disabled ipv6 support.
nothing changed, the disconnections continued at same rhytim.
The only thing that has changed is my internet has been even faster. The sadistic joke of this is that while trying to solve the problem myself am getting a top internet infrastructure, even all the cables I switched. If this keeps up, I’ll have found my own ISP provider and even donate servers for ArenaNet on my own.
At all, does not seem to be ISP, I am in Brazil, and I’m having news people in Germany and other countries with the same symptom: random disconnections without any apparent problem with the network.
I was performing some tracerout tests, my provider ISP Ip was returning fine.

Today it happened again, and have a friend playing at my house, he did not get disconnection he was in open world. But I get again when trying Mystery Cave achivments, its becoming almost impossivel complete anything that include any private instance.
The problem seems solved the past week, but on the last weekend and now its gotten Worse!!!!
I cannot stay less than five minutes on Lion Arch and get disconnected. In open world its occurs less, and in cities its impossible to play ou tele to here.
Theres something wrong with their servers, even here in the forum, the time to post reply is very slow, when other heavy loaded web pages like facebook reloads entirely faster in some seconds, pressing f5 ou refresh.

Im using a rifle + hibrid Warrior in WvW and having tons of fun.
Armor Runes: Rune of the Krait.
Armor: Precision(primary), power and condi.
Trinkets: Berseker.
Rifle Sigils: Sigil of Earth, Sigil of Incapacitation.
Secondary weapons: Warhorn+Sword. Sigil of Geomancy. This will solve any range and run issues and combined with a elite krait rune proc, works like a excelent panic button, spreading tons of bleeding and conditions. “when you use your elite skill you inflict Deals damage every second; stacks intensity. Bleeding, Deals damage every second. Deals additional damage to moving foes. Stacks intensity. Torment, and Deals damage every second; heal potency decreased by 33%; stacks intensity. Poison for 8 seconds to nearby foes.”

Im in brazil and experiencing same stuff. In Fractals and other private instance is the worst scenario.
(edited by ugrakarma.9416)
It’s getting worse every day instead of improving. I entered today in the hope that everything would be normal, but the sintomes were worse than yesterday.
When did the last event (Mordrem Invasion) were disconnections in space of 1 hour or more.
After the disconnections were frequent only on Fractals and WvW, but in the open world was still playable. In the meantime, thinking it might be my network, I redid the infrastructure here, taking advantage of 100% of broadband.
But the continued disconnections, and not only that, but became more frequent, here was rare to see other players complaining.
Then was forbidden to teleport to Lions Arch, I was guaranteed disconnect when trying to go there. I started using Divinity Reach to avoid Lions Arch. The number of other players complaining of the same problem has increased.
So disconnections were frequent in any city, in Lions Arch, in the open world, and the other involving private instances.
Today to inaugurate the “new phase”, now the TP has “blackouts”, as the game continues to run. Disconnections in hundreds of home in a few hours of play. At some times, it is almost impossible to log in.
With each passing day, it looks more like a race to the total blackout.
Today(monday 22 sep) the things only getting worse, instead of get better. I counted more than 30 disconnections in every area.
I will give up the game if this issue continue for more than 20 days, if this get so long its a signal that will be permanent!
I played for over a year, and always found it a great advantage of the Guild Wars 2 does not have this kind of problem, it is now becoming like the others.
Same here it seems began since the last event “Mordrem invasion”.
I was thinking it might be connection sway on my network, then reformed the physical infrastructure exchanging all cables and plugs. (I’m a software developer and have knowledge about MAINTENANCE / optimization network).
All sites have improved, taking advantage of 100% of broadband, but this disconnect problem of Guild Wars 2 continues.
The worst is when it enters the Fractals or WvW.
In the Open World occurs less often, can complete the bosses, but the Fractals and WvW is impossible.
I’m giving up and going to take care of things in personal life, return here one month to see if the problem has gone.
