It was UK prime time.

I really feel if they want a 100% stable release they should do another 2-3 stress tests before launch. This one didn't go well for many people. I had 2 hours where I couldn't log in and they claimed it was a port issue on my computer (when it wasnt, just randomly started working again).

Whens the last time you tried ranger? BWE3 pets seem to be pretty good. They were terrible in BWE1.

A lot of people work at different hours/shifts, sorry yours didn't match up with the test.

Theres also the whole continent of Europe that would've been asleep had this been done later.

So i wasnt the ONLY one having issues with logging in, did you get DC-ed much (i did that annoyed me as well -.-)
I tired it during BWE3 but 90% of the time the pets (for Ranger AND necro) would seem too just stand there and do nothing even after telling the pet (ranger one) too attack something or if i attacked something just didnt seem interested.

Maybe i got unlucky? I didnt try them out during the stress test as i spent the time either TRYING too log in, getting DC-ed or playing the Ele, Necro and Thief all of which i LOVED.

I think they should do a stress test EVERY week until about the 20th so they can keep getting those little things sorted out. I did seem too have a better time after the in game update though still got DC-ed and got the same error as you (forcing router restart) but it wasnt happening anywhere near as much as it did before

I hardly get D/C. Probably it's your server.

I was on Sorrows Furnace ( i think) It being a US server and me being English MIGHT have had something too do with it though this cant be proven until release as i couldnt change too a Euro server and even then they dont really seem as populated as US ones are i mean only ONE English speaking server was "high" for population the rest were medium/low

I do still think its something on there end though and the message you egt about Firewall, router settings and Campus networks all being possible things that could affect it - kinda a worry seeing as my setup has NO problems what so ever on any other online game/MMO and seeing as how quite a few people will play the game during college/uni blaming it possibly on campus networks is a bit silly

Plus they need too understand not everyone will be able too change router settings and/or open ports which i think is something the game should do automatically right?

I've searched and cant find it, does anyone know what server the OCN guild will be on, I'm also on Sorrow's Furnace - US.

Seems the HUGE servers for the beta/stress were:

Crystal Desert
Sanctum of Rall
Stormbluff Isle



ideas?

I've decided to wait a bit until I can find some statistics about which servers have the heaviest loads and are full most of the time before settling on a server for the Guild to play on since during the beta test everyone was on a different server for the most part.

The main problem is that we have US AND EU players so it's difficult to force EU players to play on US servers and vice versa so it might just be better to have a somewhat main server and then those on other servers can merely join as guests on the server whenever anyone gets together to do something.

Someone on reddit posted all the item in the beta so far. It's is pretty neat http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/xlby6/the_pvp_locker_preview_screenshots_of_all/ and is it normal for me to get 40-60 fps with my current build on 1920x1080?

Didn't get to make it to the stress test today. Curse you organic chemistry.

 

Because in those regions, a lot of them are not at job or off hours.
