As a follow up, the Network error code I"m getting is - 14:4:5:1746:101

Which isn't much help, since on looking up the common error codes, that one doesn't seem to exist.

For the past 24+ hours, I've been getting some intense lag spikes and DC's problems. I'm usually under 300ms ping (which is good for Australia) and things run fairly smoothly, but starting from around last night, it all went to hell.

At first, even the wiki wouldn't fully load, no matter what I did, then on jumping in game, initial login took longer then usual and once in game, ping was between 1-4k before it then DC'd on me. Since then, during PvE, PvP and WvW, I've been getting times when all was just fine and then big lag spike, I could move around but no other screen updates of other players, etc would happen. It would either stay like that and force me to Alt F4 or I would get a Network error and have to restart the client again. At which point it would be OK for a while before happening again.

There's no other network activity going on at the same time, all other Internet stuff works normal and I've not changed or updated anything.

Well that's good news, guess this means you'll have more resources to finally release the Legendary Equipment and Templates or at the very least, provide some communication about it.

So this is all good and exciting. I really only have one question... where on that road-map does the Legendary Equipment and Templates release sit?

I've just been slowly plugging away on legendary stuff, a bit to do here and there either between general things or as something that half just happens while I'm doing something else.

Had the Legendary Armoury already dropped or a release date announced, I would be focusing much more on it, but since its been 6 months now and basically no news or updates, the initial excitement has dried up. Don't get me wrong, I still really really really want the feature, which should have been part of the template system from the start, given how annoying the current system now makes moving legendary gear around toons.

So yes, it may now be part of the new expansion (assuming it happens at all, looking at you Alliances), but if so, I won't see it as a feature set of the expansion, but more as a, 'finally anet got around to releasing it".

>Let's face it: the ONLY demographic Legendary Armory is relevant to, is a small group of players who a.) have legendary equipment AND b.) have more than one character.

I really doubt that group of players is as small as you may think. I mean almost everyone has more then one toon or soon does even if they have only just started playing and I think many have at least 1 bit of legendary equipment, be it a weapon, armour or trinket. And lets face it, as soon as all those people with more then one toon realise they can gear up every toon with just using the same single legendary item, there will be a mad rush on making them.

It would be really nice to get some progress updates on this, given how many of us have been looking forward to it since it was first announced.

Been almost 2 months now Anet, don't you think it's time for a little feedback on all of the feedback you asked for?

Its not just EU servers, I can't login to my NA server (Tarnished Coast) either. This is while being in Australia, in case that makes any difference.

Been noticing more skill lag/high ping spikes lately as well, mostly in wvw but also else where, like Tequatl. Sometimes my latency will be normal, but skills just don't fire off, then all of a sudden it all catches up and I'm dead.

I can't believe that server monitoring doesn't show all these 100% processing spikes in various map instances. Maybe no one is looking.

Legendary gear needs to go into an account wide gear storage, which then allows you to apply any of that gear, to any gear template, on any toon, with any selected stats and applied runes/infusions remembered.

Of course armour weight limits still apply (can only add Legendary light armour to a light armour class, etc) and the same with weapon restrictions, but if I have a light armour legendary set, I should be able to select and apply that armour set on both say an Ele and Mesmer, with different stats/runes/infusions per gear template tab, all at the same time.

Right now, one has to physically move the gear, which stuffs up all the templates and is a total pain in the neck, hence one doesn't do it.

As such, the whole template system rather devalues Legendary gear and its still that way some 6 months later, with no word it will ever change and one reason why I've not bought any gear template slots.

We already knew the festivals where coming, yet they repeated that and given that its been like 2 years since Alliances was first mentioned and next to nothing more said about it in almost a year, I hardly call that repeating the same thing over and over.

So, nothing about WvW then, I guess Alliances is now a dead idea.

It wasn't just the duos testing tho. Yesterday I was in 2 different match rounds with the normal 5v5 tournament and both times got auto booted out of the tournament system while still showing as waiting for an opponent. Lost out on 20 gold and 2 mystic coins. Yes I filled a bug report.

Funny thing is, both matches show up on the PVP completed list, one shows as a victory and the other a defeat. In both cases, each side has 0 points listed and the match took 0 seconds.
