To those people they might've spent rediculous amount of effort trying to grind something, but actually lost the process. It makes sense to compensate them because in the end, they actually lost progress.

> If you guys feel like compensation should be given to all players due to time lost during maintainence, it should be a complete separate issue one instead of discussing on this.

Finally a few people with some common sense, thank you Ryo, lordkrall and Zulvio. I was about to give up on this community.

And to the rest of you feeling entitled to get extra rewarded, even though you were not really affected (other than potential playtime lost, which we all were affected by) because you were sleeping or at work - I have two examples:

1. You and some friends decide to go on a holiday. You can't take the same plane as them, because you have to work that day, so you decide they should go on an earlier flight because they can, and you will join them later taking another plane. They go to the airport in the morning while you're at work, and find out that their plane is delayed. So they sit around at the airport all day, while you're working. The airline can't seem to fix the plane, so they contact everyone on later flights to let them know they shouldn't go to the airport because they won't be able to fly that day. Since you're still at work, you decide to go home after work and finally when there's no more news, go to sleep. Your friends however who has been stuck at the airport all day, gets compensation for this. The airline gives them a free dinner and a hotel room for the night. The next day, you show up at the airport because now the plane is fixed so you can travel. The airline decides everyone should get a free meal on the plane because everyone was affected by this delay. Now, you get offended by this free meal "reward" because your friends got a free dinner and a free night at a hotel, demanding to get a free dinner and a night at a hotel too. Really?

2. One morning there's an outbreak of fire in a store you frequent. You could have been at that store at that time, but you're at home sleeping, so you're not there. You wake up and watch the news, and see that there has been a fire at the store, so you can't shop there for the next 24hrs. The people who were in the store and affected by the fire outbreak get compensation from the store, a free lunch and some vouchers. You feel you should also be compensated because you could potentially have been there. Really?

>

> There is no way to tell what people lost, so they are giving to everyone who logged in during a certain time - But that still means there are people who lost nothing that are getting a mount - this is not fair. Either everyone who had a really kitten day of not being able to play / worrying if their stuff would be restored should get it or they should set a value on the amount you needed to have lost to get compensation and dish them out manually.

You're right, you could potentially just have logged on, and decided to stand still in Lion's Arch or wherever for a few hours or even a minute doing nothing in-game during the time before the rollback and the time the servers were reset to, and not lost anything. I have no idea how Anet is finding those entitled to receive the skin, so I'm not going to make guesses. I was merely trying to explain what time we're talking about here, since it seems the OP and the others feeling cheated on a "reward" thinks Anet is rewarding people for logging in and playing after the rollback happened. And that is not the case.

Thing is, there was a number of hours lost between the time it now was reset to and the time the rollback happened, which you don't seem to understand. Not the server downtime. Not the time after the rollback happened. "I stayed away after I heard about the rollback". Yeah we all did, but that's not the time lost we're talking about here. We're not talking about anyone logging in and playing *after* the rollback happened, but before it happened. There's a number of hours there where people played, when no-one knew of any problems even though they were there, and that time and whatever they did in the game, is now gone.

I'm sorry for you guys who didn't play and lose anything (except your potential playtime, which we all lost) feeling you need to be "rewarded" in the same way those who did actually spend time playing and did things *during the time that was wiped* (which they won't ever get back). And once again, no, that's not the time after the rollback. A skin is a meagre compensation, but it's something at least. Everyone will get "rewarded" with a bonfire for the potential playtime being lost.

I'd advice against putting anything up for sale on the trade post (unless it works for you - which is interesting if it does). I have all your issues, plus items I try to sell on the trade post disappear.

I think we'll have to wait until the US wakes up for Anet to acknowledge the problems. It's close to 9am PST so hopefully someone from Anet will take a glance at the forums soon.

Yep, same here. As soon as I go to another zone I get a whitescreen after about one minute of loading with the "The game client is unable to gain access to the log-in server at this time." message. Code=42:5:7:718:101. Logging back in after a while, my character is placed in the middle of the map I was leaving. Trying to log out gives a blackscreen for about 30 seconds, then the same message but another code. Code=42:4:7:279:101.

Just tested this again, and put 1 Strawberry on the Trade Post for 50c. Got "An Error Occurred." and then the "Quantity cannot be less than 1" error, and the strawberry is gone from my inventory and it's not showing up on the trade post either, so the trade post is still not working.

> @"Noseless.6317" said:

> Just tried listing something and once I saw the error message and the item was missing, came here to look for possible info. Will raise a ticket as well.

I did the exact same thing yesterday. Put an item up on the TP, got the ERROR. Item is gone from my inventory, and it's not on the TP either, and not in my history (or Selling tab). Today when I logged in, someone had bought the item overnight and I had the gold waiting on the TP. So it actually *was* added to the TP, it just didn't show for some reason. Something is clearly up with the trade post, so I'm staying away from it until there's some official news.

> well the rollback is over, they ignore my ticket completely … ( they read another one related to server crash... ) I am still stuck unable to play cause I have tried yesterday, when everyone else was fine, of course my issue had nothing to do with any rollback … so it is a trading post issue and I really have no idea how to report this, to have them at least notice it :((

I would suggest writing a ticket anyway, using the new rollback category there. I have/had a similar problem to you, I've submitted a ticket and will stay away from the Trade Post for now, it seems quite unreliable at the moment.

You will need to write a ticket for these things now, they even added a special "rollback" category to select.

Funny! Most of us could *not* log in to the forums during this, so we couldn't post here either to let you know we couldn't log in to the forums.

It's actually the second time in 7 years, but yeah, they're working on it, so fingers crossed...

May the spoon be with you all.

Yes, it seems to be 3 days of rollback. My progress from doing the strikes since Friday is also gone. Weird thing is, if it was a proper rollback, everything would be rolled back, but the 60g I spent on the Trade Post yesterday is still missing (along with the items I bought).

Delete this - I just saw the description on the "Chest of Visionary Echoes" awarded for the priority strike - "ONLY the first 3 per week contain 1 Prophet Crystal".

> apparently have to be in instance from start to finish which is terrible, since it'll be hard to get anyone to join if someone leaves

Well that's not true, not sure where you got that from, but the bug is: **only the instance opener will get the achievement**.

Just completed the Steel and Fire Forging Steel mission with a squad, with the Powerful Foes challenge active. On completion, it did not register that the challenge had been active, making the whole hour spent doing it pretty much wasted time for everyone.

I just wanted to say that I've tried this build for about 20 matches now, and you're right about it being dull, but effective. The only way I'm getting top stats ever is on revives, when teammates fall over around me, or objective defender if someone comes along solo to try to take the node and they keep trying for a while. But mostly I don't get any top stats at all, which is disheartening at the end, cause people tend to think you're not doing anything :P

Can confirm this. Also crashed just now when using the roller beetle in Queensdale, which actually locked up my whole computer so I had to restart it. Didn't get a chance to press the "send logs to Arenanet" button even.

I got the bug too now. After yesterday's patch my pet stayed stowed and wouldn't budge after leaving the Warclaw in WvW until I got out of combat (playing Soulbeast). It happened closer to 80% of the time, and I have never ever had this issue before - not on my Ranger, nor Soulbeast.

Odd that, it has never ever happened to me before this patch, but after patch my pet stayed stowed and wouldn't budge after leaving the Warclaw until I got out of combat. It happened closer to 80% of the time. Wonder why you had it for so long, and how it spread to affect those of us who didn't before. In any case, it needs to be fixed pronto.

Been experiencing this lag in PvE for the last month or so, have bug reported it several times, and posted on the forums about it, still no word from Anet. There's thread going in the other bug forum specifically about the Tequatl event, which is heading towards being unplayable because of the lag issues. https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/96467/tequatl-mass-map-crash#latest

Been doing Teq at an earlier hour (EU prime time) lately and while it hasn't crashed, it's been lagging like kitten. People can't get their skills to trigger, meaning the damage phases are close to failing every time. Thing is, the lag causes Tequatl to just stand there doing nothing when it should be attacking - which is the only thing saving the attack phases to be successful. I've filed several bug reports on this, and posted on the forums, have yet to see any acknowledgement from Anet.

I did some tests after reading the OPs post with the glyph of bounty on my sickle, and out of 100 herb plants I got three attempts (press F three times) on 2 plants. Could be a fluke, but I used to get way more "three's" before today's patch. Might do some more testing tomorrow.

Two people got a Drakkar's Hoard chest in the map I was in now. Choice of ascended "of the Broken Voice" weapons with Superior sigil of Malice on them, and they were pretty nice looking too.
