Sudden weirdness

Ok something weird just happened!

I got a question from one of my Alliance guilds asking if they were still in the Alliance, From what I could work out they were having problems loading the Guild tab.


3minutes go by, I go to change the Status and notice I don't have a guild anymore.

No guild.. I was the leader. So incase it's the error the other guild experienced earlier I go to Alliance chat, Only Leader and guild officer can talk in Alliance chat! (Not word for word but thats close to what it said)

So after freaking out the guild tab comes back, but now I'm not logged in.


Anyone else having major bugs happen?

Yup, my cape was gone and I was guildless for a few minutes (Noticed it after my guild chat stopped working) I was leader and my guild/alliance wasn't working either.
People having the same problem in ToA D1 and 2 (More places probably).

Fixed though.

Yeah, everyone in AB was guildless, and i saw it in LA ED1 as well. It's happened two or three times so far this evening...blah. My guildies were PMing me freaking out...hopefully its fixed now, its making faction-donating a real pain

I'm having the same problem, but it's happening a lot. Also, my HoH win got cut short because all three teams had lag spikes every 30 seconds.

Server crash(ing)?

I'm more interested in this myself. The guild thing happened to me today but it all reverted back to normal in a min or so.

Now im assuming this new only guild leader and officers on alliance chat feature is...well legit. I cant really tell since i'm an officer. Anyone care to confirm this thoroughly, incase its not related to the bug?

No the Chat restriction was an old version, I believe when the 'Alliance" feature first come out.
It was restricted to Leaders and Officers.
But weird that it would revert to that.

Haha yes I decided to cause some drama in LA by saying: "We have begun the server wipe on guilds, We will now move on to armor and weapons."

This happened many time during the past two years. After some time, all would be restored, so there's nothing to fuss about really.

True. I remember the first time it happened we were all freaked out, by the 2nd and 3rd it was, oh hell, how long is this going to take to fix this time.

Spent about an hour guildless this morning. This whole guilds dissapearing thing happens every couple of months. The weirdest thing its done to me is label me as the member of another guild which appeared to be allied to my actual guild even though i had never heard of it before. Had alot to explain to the member of that guild that saw me with their guild tag.

I mean like 3 people in my list were also such and such a person!

It's still happening, 13 hours later....driving everyone nuts....I wonder when this is gonna stop.

Is this somehow related to the large amount of guild activity from the AB weekend?

One person in our team in AB wasn't showing up on my skill bar, but they were on my other team mates' bars. Usually it shows their bar as black, but it just wasn't there for me.

Also, alliance battle happened really quickly! The timer seemed to jump from 60 second victory to 5 second victory in a second (no lag). Was a little freaked out.

Ah thanks for clearing that up. I do slightly recall that the chat was restricted to officers ad the leaders only. I personally would welcome the change, trash-talk is all too apparent nowdays.

Back to the topic at hand, it happened again to me, it usually happens righ after an Alliance Battle, which is difficult to get around since AB is one of the only things left to do nowdays.
I also noticed that my game sometimes refuses to load the AB outpost after a match. I've had a few error-005's because of it.

Hopefully it will be all cleared up, if a-net arent working on a solution already.

Hmmmmm... the only issue I heard about what a brief disconnect for about 5,000 European players that took place approximately two hours ago and quickly resolved itself. (They're tracking to see what caused the brief "burp.")

As for guild issues, I wasn't aware, but I will ask our guild specialist and see if he has any idea what's been happening. I can tell you that sometimes, zoning to a new district helps. Occasionally, relogging into the game helps. And pretty much always, the issue resolves itself in a short time (<1 hour) and so no one should take drastic measures like quitting a guild in order to make things right.

Indeed, this was a massive server glitch Gaile. It happened quite late, but it did indeed occur. What seemed to happen was that all members saw each other as guildless, and some saw themselves as that way as well. Alliance chat and guild chat were also disabled for everyone in some guilds, and for others, only officers and leaders could use it. Odd glitch.

Its nothing new people, this happens sometimes. At least the 3rd time its happened in the past year and a half. Anet will work it out. Be glad you werent like me, whereas guild wars would freeze on my computers (both of them) anytime I tried to zone to my guild hall. Thankfully thats gone now.

Thanks for a reply.
Heard from others that similar bugs have occured during the latest weekend, maybe just related to server lag?

A few members in my guild experienced the old appear offline but logged in bug too.


Don't know if it would help but I have scrn caps of the time I became guildless with the alliance officer/leader only requirement in alliance chat

Ive experienced this problem before, i got really worried, had no cape or anything when i pressed G I also recently i had horrible lag in the Alliance and Guild Tabs, i had to wait about a minute before the mesage i typed showed up and as i asked around in the mission that I was trying to find a group for, i discovered that i was not the only person with this problem. Im on the EU servers, but is this problem EU only or anyone else on the US servers suffering?
