Ok, in Drok's Forge I was trading a guy a Victo's Battle Axe. We were whispering away haggling about the price (got 19k for it), when all of a sudden whispes didnt work. Then, after i finished the deal, i went to LA, because people were streaming out of Droks due to not being able to trade properly(due to lack of whispers). There a guy was complaining about trading some gold for something, and not having the item. I checked my inventory ad there was my Battle Axe? What's going on A-Net?

19k is overpriced, I wouldn't pay more than 15k.

Same here, just logged out to change character, now I get to character selection, but upon choosing one I get "(code=013)".

You kept the money, and the axe? Fear that... I got TWO gold armor drops the other day, I tried to superior salvage them and they were only good for crafting materials... I traded them over to my character I am trying to get Seeker of Wisdom with and when he ID'd them he didn't even get credit for it. Of course this was before the most recent update, and it was most certainly a bug, but that's no where near as disconcerting as the potential to have traded away my money for an item and recieved nothing for it due to a bug... I just hope that no one abused this, reselling titan gemstones that they had already taken over 100k for...

Nothing is working anymore.... I was doing Ice Caves of Sorrow and couldnt chat with anyone in guild or friendlist. I managed to do bonus without infuse and only henchies, so I was happy. When loading the next town... BWAM.... kicked out due to err13. I've tried logging back in, but so far it is not working.

Also: GURU SERVERS ARE GOREDENGINEGOREDENGINE!!!!!!! Pages take aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages to load or result in 404's. Mostly it involves the forums, making it impossible to read or post. Also it is IMPOSSIBLE to put something on the auctionboard, since you have to click a couple of buttons which each reload the page. Only ONE 404 on a chain link of 10 pages is needed to screw up the chance of uploading an auction... do the maths.

Might all be offtopic, but since this is the only thread I could open at the moment, it will have to do. Now keeping my fingers crossed the post arrives safely....

I am actually relieved to hear that

I am sure frustrated people who lost money will be happy to have it back.

I had just finished Gate of Pain with my guild, saw most of the cutscene before the last person skipped, then we all got disconnected and I ended up back in Gate of Pain and not the next outpost

Not the worst thing in the world but a bit annoying.

I don't really fancy doing it again just now, twice in a row is not appealing.

And that is precisely why I hate the cutscenes. What's wrong with crediting us for the missions first and then showing the stupid "storyline!!!!"

Are you sure you didn't get credit for Gate of Pain? Traditionally, you can quit out in the middle of the cutscene after mission completion without penalty. You will be returned to the town you started in, but you will be given credit for the mission, as well as unlocking the next town. The only difference is that you have to travel to that town manually, but that's hardly an issue.

While that is often the case, it's not always so, I had to redo Vizunah on a character because I had the misfortune to disconnect in the middle of the end cutscene.

The person who has to redo Gate of Pain should just be happy it wasn't Gate of Madness that they have to repeat.

I know they changed the system so you get the credit at the start of the cutscene, but it did not work for me. My map only has Gate of Torment and Gate of Pain on it.

Yes, I wish they had reconnects just now, although I think it was more than 10minutes before I could get back in the game.

Well when I logged in this morning, my character didnt start in the next mission town, but the one I completed last night, just prior to the error. But I did get the mission and bonus swords and the town on the map.

Guru seems to be working better as well.

Actually it can have quite some impact on forums. Let's say a patch is not working, the servers are f***ed and no one can login. As in... no... one. A lot of these people will suddenly swarm the community forums, searching for something about their problem or to vent aggression or to do whatever.
Yet they dramatically increase the load for a while. Now that the problem is gone, the whole thing can return to normal again and thus, guru runs faster as well.
