Just now a mass err7, my entire guild dropped. So i was thinking a Aussie location thing. Then I realised that half of LA dropped before I went, I sign back in and sure enough the District is being repopulated with everyone reporting a connection drop.


Good sign or bad?

edit, then I posted this once already and guru was away from the internet for a few page loads... not my day lol

Everyone in the game got kicked. I was about 45 mins into the Deep at the time. Good PR a week before GW:EN comes out ANET! I like how the disabled reconnects just compounded the problem...

It's not just you guys. Our whole alliance DCed. We've got people on both US and Euro servers, and everyone got the kick.

Yeah, I had hit this too. Luckily, though, I wasn't doing anything at that time so it didn't really affect me.

Bunch of RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing idiots over there. Idk what idea they have, but I think maybe just a few people in GW are RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing tired of this bullshit that keeps happening. A week before GW:EN....I mean, seriously....does there marketing center have any idea how RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing dumb a mistake like this is?

Looks like they are trying to put reconnect back in.
I got a dialog box asking me whether I want to reconnect 2 (or 3?) times before it completely failed and kick me out.

Fortunately, it turns out Master Togo (despite the spirit burn nerf) & Mhenlo just finished the mission for me

I was tabbed out at the time and and when I opened GW's I saw I had been disconnected. I thought oh wow again (it was the second time tonight). When I logged back in I saw my whole guild had logged off at the same time.

Once again GG Anet.

So we wipe the enemy team, are on their lordroom npcs, and then lag hits and we lose because the other team lags out last.



So yeah Anet, what's up? Run out of ways to screw up the game?

Disabling the reconnect feature sucks and was a bad decision in my opinion, but mass disconnects from the Guild Wars servers don't actually happen very often. I don't think a "mass reconnect" could have worked very well anyway with such a large system outage.

I think sometimes people get used to the high reliability that they lose some sense of proportion regarding problems when they do occur.

As someone who monitors the Internet Weather Reports for Internet health I can tell you all the Global Crossings had a major outage. If your provider was going though Global Crossings it was highly likely that you were disconnected. This was NOT ANET's fault unless they use them.

That makes sense as something that was the likely cause. Lot of folks come out against ANet with both guns blazing.

My view: even if it was ANet's failure, their server reliability is far better than many of their competitor's. In fact, the lag issues surrounding the large updates and holiday events are the usual extent of the problems.

Mass disconnects, I can't recall one in the last 2 years.

Was it terrorists? Are they attacking our internets?

Seeing as how my tracert to the GW servers doesn't go through a Global Crossings (Level3 -> alter.net) network I'm more inclined to say this IS ANET's fault.

Thank you that helps confirm it Level 3 problems were sourced with Global according to the Internet Health Report.

about 40 minutes ago Global was in the red as well as Level 3.

Please don't confuse us with facts!

We have our torches and pitchforks and aren't afraid to use them!

I don't think a reconnect feature could have saved us.

Oh come on GloryFox, its so much easier to blame Anet for everything instead of actually finding out facts or the causality.

It does when the varying time of disconnecting makes people lose Guild Battles because of the other team disconnecting last.

If something like this is happening, it shouldn't be allowed to have standing effect on the game.

It is still my belief that the problems started with Global and spilled over to Level 3. Whatever the case people should still not be so keen in attacking ANET.

Fight? What's there to fight either than a couple of Hulking Stone Elementals?
