Ever hard about grinding masteries? Nothing wrong with lvl 80 in starter zone in GW2.

Retried via port 443 and same thing.

So after about 10 tries, I give up..

Here are some more details about the bug for Arenanet:

The cinematic where we plant the seed in the cave.

We see in the cinematic: Faolain, Wynne and myself (as Caithe).

**Only one line of voice over, then no more voice overs for the rest of the cinematic.**

Then I see myself (as Caithe) with a cinematic icon over my head and BOOM Error 7.

Once again today. I won't try this quest again :-1: =(

Thanks I'll check this out!

[LWS2 has been a rough ride](https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/113389/lws2-episode-6-into-the-labyrinth-npcs-are-still-bugged-since-2016#latest)

When doing the last episode (8; Point of No Return): I get **Error 7 **when I plant the seed into the ground, see the cinematic and then I see my character with the cinematic icon over its head and boom disconnected.

It's been multiple times, I don't really know what to do anymore. All I want is to complete that freaking season so I can continue on to better content.

I don't want to sound rude but LWS2 is a really long and boring mess. I made all base content, all the HoT content and PoF (ep. 1 to get Raptor mount). All that content was pretty good IMO but LWS2 was a total dialogue snooze fest. The critical bugs made it even more difficult to complete.

Anyone else had similar experiences?

Thanks all and have a great day.

LOL last episode has a game breaking disconnect bug...

I get Error 7 when I get the seed in the ground, see the cinematic and then boom disconnected. 3 times in a row :-1:

I can't wait to finish LWS2, it has been a total mess all the way :(

Also make sure if there is any text box dialogue, not to skip through it too fast or run off too soon. Those are the kind of things that can randomly trigger bug outs.

Ok so I got it on the 4th time. Eventually all the NPCs followed me. Once I had one bugged on me right at the start XD

Oh and I just learnt that it's the one quest giving a black lion key lmao

EDIT: I'll try it some more, maybe I'll get a working instance eventually

Hi, I'd like to know if anyone else experienced this bug and if there's any way to work around it?

I'm talking about this bug here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Into-the-Labyrinth-NPCs-bugged/page/1

I found 3 NPCs on 4 in the labyrinth. Rox never followed and was needed to remove a wall. So I'm never able to proceed further into the quest.

I had to skip the episode. Anyone else experienced this issue?

Is there any other glaring game breaking issues in living world story quests I should be aware of before proceeding to the next ones?

Thanks

I still can't believe Arenanet isn't embracing its PvP players.

They got one of the best systems out there, they could be BIG on eSports, making BIG money but instead they focus on story exclusively.

I'm a PvE player and even I don't understand the strategy when there are people like MightyTeapot who supports the entire PvP scene on his shoulders... which should be Arenanet's job...

Remember: PvP content = infinite content

Couldn't get better than this...

That trailer is gorgeous!

Welcome to Twitch chat.

Game was almost unplayable yesterday in NA :(

We are talking about server/backend performance issues. This is the place to discuss this.

We aren't "a single customer who's having issues", we are literally HUNDREDS at this point.

Look at these forums, look at Reddit. Posts _everywhere_ about this.

Code or at least server configuration/performance needs to be diagnosed and improved.

Hell, even network performance is diagnosable (even if it can be hard since it's hosted on AWS)

There are proven issues with the backend of the game.

Every week there are more and more customers trying to play the game/use the TP/buy gems who are having game breaking issues.

Legit customers are going away because of performance.

How else could we explain that? Where else?

EDIT: Errors I'm having with the gem store are TIMEOUTS which implies the server fails to reply in a timely fashion to the client (the game).

Other payment gateway-specific issues aren't covered by this post.

It's really bad when your legit customers can't send you money...

I don't know what's up with the servers but I've been back for a month or so and had issues every single day. Error 7, Error 42, disconnections during story quests, it has no end...

Anet please help us help you :disappointed:

This is getting ridiculous. I'm raging at the gem store to give you money Anet! The freaking page won't even load.

I'm a backend engineer, HIRE ME Anet. Just email me at my profile's email.

Gotta do something about this, you are losing money each minutes your API isn't responding...

Hope these major issues will get sorted out someday... GW2 is such an awesome game but these bugs are really starting to show up more and more as years go by...

Please NCSoft/Anet take some time to refactor a few core systems so performance is on par with other MMOs.

This has happened a few times tonight on NA servers doing HoT metas...

This has happened about 5 times in 2 hours tonight on NA servers... can't complete living story when getting kicked out :(

YES please Anet, please!!

Sad but could be true... that kind of issue needs really skilled and knowledgeable people with deep experience with the backend code and structure...

FYI: there are no relation with the wings FPS issue. What you see (the game) = frontend. What is causing lag issues is the server code = backend. Anet needs people who are skilled at AWS network optimization and they need to optimize their backend code.

Thanks for sharing. I have to say since the latest patch everything seems to be a whole lot better especially about the TP.

100% agreed

Are you using D912PXY? If yes, it is known to cause such issues on the character selection screen.

Happens in Eastern North America. Error 7 and Error 42 all the time.

TP is unusable. **I can't even buy gems or stuff on the gem store.**

What is happening?
