Hellbore.1473 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Word to the wise, don't play on new release day and expect it to function as designed. I've been here long enough to know how this shit works... WAIT at least a day or two so that Arenanet can iron out dem bugs that should have been taken care of by the QA team. I know that sounds harsh, and I understand there are many variables and unknowns when dealing with a live environment. BUT, I been experiencing that same errors and bugs with every single release. Every. Single. One. Multiple threads can attest to these facts (I will not bother to link, I dont care enough say what you will). Again, if you do not want to deal with the frustration, just wait to play on any other day except release day. As of right now I've wasted more time logging and relogging then actually playing the episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasida.4085 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Old school gamers know this lol. I've always waited a couple of days let everyone and everything kind of work itself out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artemis.6781 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Indeed. I've always waited a few days before attempting any new content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliamRationem.5172 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I know but the first part in Amnoon was so good and involves two of my favorite characters! I so want to see the new map, new mount - everything! Alas, I have to go to work in an hour and the bugs are currently making the story unplayable. Oh well! I suppose it's for the best, as I have the next two days off to play as much as I want! I just hope they have it all worked out by then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcellinoAlighieri.7194 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 No worries here. I hadn't touched any of the post-PoF LSes at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alga.6498 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Yeah… bad move indeed. I got stuck after the first part of Amnoon to talk to the Primeval Queens but got bugged after that. They don't talk to me whenever I walked to them, it seems now I can't even login to the game, says network error, :scream: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widowmaker Z.4802 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 For the Primeval Queens part, I completely logged out of the game for a few minutes and logged back in and it started working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrubySzymek.1362 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Let's be honest here. It didn't happen at this scale in the past. Even HoT release was smoother, not mentioning LW3 in general. Their release stability after PoF dropped drastically and I'm disappointed with their mediocrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thefarside.2178 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Same here Correction issues now at the portal entry/instance entry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Having the same problem. Bugged at Primeval Queens. Logged out to fix the ‘speak to Taimi bug’ then kicked out of the next instance and now can’t log in, says network errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal Spiro.9745 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Yeah... I'm still going to. ANet's track record has been sufficiently good for me. Granted it's always a few hours before I get to play it after being released and they usually have patched most of the really bad bugs by then. And also removed the really good exploits.

Will just wait until tonight after 2 or 3 patches have been applied... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of mind boggling when you think of it. How can this have worked "well?" in their development/testing environment only to break so bad in production? Man, I'm a programmer.. if I did something like this in my company I would be in some sort of very bad trouble. Then again, Microsoft has been famous for beta testing their production releases on the general public and calling them solidly tested updates. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I did a client repair. Might be a coincidence but i was able to log in after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanBB.4268 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 But if nobody plays on day one, how will any problems be found and fixed? :open_mouth: You know...before I get home from work to play... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashantara.8731 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 > @"Hellbore.1473" said: > [...] bugs that should have been taken care of by the QA team. GW2 has a QA team? > @"Hellbore.1473" said: > As of right now I've wasted more time logging and relogging then actually playing the episode. But when you know this from "years of experience", why are you wasting time trying? =) You will know it's been fixed when your client starts downloading an update. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exatherion.3075 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Every game has this issue. We haven't seen a major Rollback in all the time GW2 is up. So it's safe to say that things are under control ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Most of the time, I don't have much of a problem, except in the first 10 minutes, getting the actual download to start. Word to the wise: your mileage will vary from mine and the OP's. Don't assume everything will work perfectly and don't assume it won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tajiseed.7831 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 PoF release was a bit iffy - I think thousands of people repeatedly trying to launch instances from Lion's arch simultaneously probably didn't help. I'll log in and get dailies, if it's a bit unstable will go and get an early night :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SakuraJD.4720 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 "dont play on day one" it shouldnt be this way. this shouldnt be the general rule. this is why they moved to massive breaks between content, to stop shit like this. and yet here we are, worse bugs every time. i remember when they were doing new content every two weeks, i didnt see bugs half this bad. what changed huh?
