Anyone with major errors from Dragon Festival Update?

Normally I don't like to complain about things, or at least try to cut back, but there's just some things that I can't stop and wonder "what the...?" I wanted to share this with the forum in case there are others out there like me that have serious problems playing GW right now since the last update. Hopefully I'm the only one that seems to have gotten a bad bit of luck or something.

Besides the 20k+ lag spikes, my GW client has been filled with errors. It has crashed my computer almost 10 times this weekend and not to mention prevented me from opening the game and/or logging on numerous times. I even had a serious message pop up to report errors to ANet - this has never happened before. I say it was serious because it wouldn't let me play the game until the errors were reported to ANet. I've played GW since the WPE and this is the first event and weekend in the game's history that I have had so many errors and problems, all starting after I downloaded the update at the beginning of the weekend.

The biggest problem is this:



As you can clearly see, my characters that are in the Battle Isles are stuck there. No, these are not PvP characters. These are my main PvE characters that I have spent numerous hours devoted to playing. There is no option to go to other outposts on the islands or to go anywhere else in the world. I'm stuck in the Temple of Balthazar. The only NPCs that will take me anywhere are the ones to the Dragon Arena and to the Beetle Racing. I have all 3 campaigns. This is the first time anything like this has ever happened to me. It isn't lag - it's constantly like that right now.

I'm waiting for a response from support, but like all the things sent there I am guessing they will want me to ask the forums so I figured I would post. I'm hoping this may just fix itself naturally, or even that uninstalling and reinstalling my GW game will fix this.

I don't use any third person programs, I haven't been online other than these forums and to play GW this weekend, and I'm the only person that uses this computer for those that might be curious if they factor into this.

I'm crossing my fingers this will fix itself when the event is over or something.

Warp to guildhall and go from there. Otherwise join a friend/ guildy. Let him warp you somewhere you have been before

ah, the proverbial ship has sailed i see

you have tried -image i supposed?
your map looks similar to mine when i was experiencing extremely high latency. the icons took awhile to appear.

Kha, if you want I could log in and we can group and I can travel to a city to see if the ships come back for you. Just say so if you want me to try.

Nothing like getting characters stuck on the pvp isles for me, nor have I been getting lag spikes, but I have been consistently disconnecting about once an hour, and once I got the same serious message you did Kha. I don't know what is causing this, as I'm not lagging and I didn't experience any problems during the last Dragon Festival.

I have had this a few times but not this weekend
When I contacted Support they told me to do the -image
and after it did it's thing I was right as rain to go anywhere.
They will prolly tell you the same.
Hope it helps and you get back to playing.

I have had a probelm with vanquishing morostav trail since the update. ( Im sorry if the spelling is wrong). Every time i get to 266 foe vanquished I freeze up for about 30 seconds then get an error 19 message and cant get back to where i left off. Each time it puts me back to the log in screen and all data is gone. Normaly I would not worry about this, but it has happened 3 times now at 266 foes vanquished. And since I run with only 1 guildie and heros this area takes about 2-2 1/2 hours if you do a lot of pulling and take your time. This does not just happen to me, at the same time i lose it and get this error message, my guildie gets the same message. This is getting old fast. Any ideas what is happening here? I have this area and seafarers rest left to vanquish and I have factions done. I am becoming quite frustrated having to keep redoing this area over again, and again, and again.......

Only "errors" I seemed to have over the Dragon Festival is 3 or 4 characters could not take the quests from the guard in Shing Jea Monastery.

Anyone else get that?
