We have moved to Anvil Rock because Gate of Madness became soon full.

how many folks do we have on american server compared to european?

[SpardaSon21]

Considering the only ones that appear in #hlp-gw2 are Spoon, MatthTheGeek, Fury, and I, that's one American and three Europeans.  Of course, at this point the U.S. servers are crammed to the gills so the only option left to us is a European one.

[Fury]

Devs increased US server population caps. But they're still all currently in high population. European servers still have servers left in low and medium capacities.

Should I assume that you guys are planning to move over to an european server?

[QuantumDelta]

Quite a lot of my RL buddies are playing on desolation afaik..
Not that at this point it's starting to feel like I'm going to know people on every freaking server or anything ¬.¬

make that 5, me and my gf will be on as well.

[SpardaSon21]

Since the U.S. servers are in such bad shape and the EU ones still have room, let's head over to Ring of Fire and bug Spoon.

[Spoon]

I have this bug with guilds, no matter how many times I hit the join button, it simply won't let me in :/

[MatthTheGeek]

And here we thought you were hating us

EDIT: I've kicked you and resent the invite, just in case. You never know, it might work !

[WouterSmitssm]

[SpardaSon21]

Now that server populations are improving, can we just pick one and stay there?  I'm currently on Anvil Rock.  Where is everyone else?

[pecenipicek]

Mayra and me moved over to Gunnar's Hold and we plan on staying there. it wasnt too bad on the anvil rock for us, but it did get noticeably laggy at important moments, often resulting in death.

[SpardaSon21]

Okay, everyone including me is now on Ring of Fire, and qazwsx has given us permission to use his Mumble server for voice chat.

The Mumble server is on 184.22.118.104:64738.

Qazwsx, if you're reading this, can we get a channel for GW2 please?

In other GW2 news, digital sales from buy.guildwars2.com have been postponed.

Ensuring the best possible play experience for our fans is our highest priority. We’ve said before that we would be willing to temporarily disable first-party digital sales if we felt our high player concurrency may compromise player experiences. We have now reached that point.

Effective immediately we have disabled sales via buy.guildwars2.com. To be clear, box and digital sales are still available via our retail partners. We are tracking our concurrency closely while expanding our infrastructure. We’ll re-enable first-party digital sales as soon as we feel that we can do so safely. ~RB2

On one hand, anyone who was thinking of buying through them directly is out of luck at the moment, on the other hand, this is bloody awesome considering the shenanigans we've been putting up with since the 25th...

and in related news: general GW2 status, Karma Weapons exploit

My overall respect for Anet has risen over the past few days, despite some frustration over not being able to play the game all that well, what with the trading post not working and the mail system being stuffed into the ****ter as well for the time being, due to account farmers...

[Mikes]

Just as a headsup, if anyone is still thinking of getting this.

It appears they are just pulling one of the biggest bait and switches in game design history, See: http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/74916-ascended-items/ for an overview.

Synopsis: 3 months after release we are seeing a new gear tier with better stats and lots of grind attached - which simply does not compute given their advertised design philosophy and "MMO Manifesto". GW2 community is not amused.

Just sad how a company with a 7+ year track record of sticking to its guns - no matter what - goes ahead and pi**es it all away 3 months after releasing the long awaited sequel.

Personally... I'll keep an eye on it to see how the whole mess turns out, but looks like I've been had - big time lol.



Anyone else may proceed to enjoy what appears to be shaping up to be one of the biggest flamefests in gaming history. - Make sure to bring popcorn.

The thread on their official forums is up to 10.000 posts and 200 pages now.

have you seen the cluster**** that yesterdays "event" was? i honestly wanted to strangle somebody.

[Spoon]

have you seen the cluster**** that yesterdays "event" was? i honestly wanted to strangle somebody.

I missed the event on sunday because I was there when the event on friday happened. Which was one big lagfest followed by a quest with npc's that bugged out. When they 'fixed' said npc's next day with a patch, it was only for a few hours before they bugged up again.
Couldn't even complete the event quest. So I gave up on the event as a whole.

oh i've had a couple of heart attacks during yesterdays event. like "disconnect in the middle of whacking ancinet karka, recconect into a overflow where it was killed already..."

I gave up on the game on the 28th of October, when they introduced a patch that limited me (and a few thousand others) to 5fps (I normally can get between 45-60fps, depending on the number of enemies on the screen), and then failed to say ANYTHING about it in the technical support threads.

They clearly don't give a damn about their userbase.

Newest drivers and all as well I suppose?
