XTH incredibly slow

Yup, the new system obviously did not work. I hope they look into it.
Yes we could have done predictions last night, but why? if the deadline was this morning, we should be able to vote whenever we want, as long as it's before the deadline. So it's not our screw up for waiting until today, they messed up because the new system did not work, or whatever else is going on.
And yes... deadline is over and it's still not working.

I would've loved to rearrange the predictions I made, but it's obviously not possible.
Sorry for everyone who couldn't even get their predictions in.
I always make my predictions 1-2-3 days before the deadline, then go and change it/fix it up in the last 3 hours or so. Since I don't spy and rip other people's guesses here on gwguru or anywhere else for that matter, it's quite important for me to be able to rearrange it all based on what I research reg. gvg and 1v1.

Can you make your 1vs1 Predictions then, Snograt? Because I can log in, but it still doesn't let me predict...

Makes me glad I did them last night :O

johnny tutone
extend time as in postpone the tournament? lol that wont happen sorry to say theyre not gunna do that cuz people decided to vote 2 hours before the tournament starts that is in no way guild wars fault u have a month to vote thats more than enough time
slowerpoke
lots of guilds and hbers leave qualifying for the at finals to as late as possible, so voting as near to the deadline usually gives a better selection.
Messy
it's working now

What bout this: give all people who didn't vote the average rp for gvg predictions of the people that were able to predict
Chicken Ftw
How about no.
Wish Swiftdeath
Yes, reward people for doing nothing!
I would be upset at losing tournament points too, but I would be upset at myself. Yes you can report the problem to Anet but you can't whine and bitch at them because everyone wanted to do their predictions 5 minutes before the deadline.

They should just give no rewards at all this month.
Chicken Ftw
Again, how 'bout no.
Snograt
Hush Gli - this is the first time I've ever voted and I wants my stuffs
Fril Estelin
They should make all the guilds replay the mAT. It's obvious that XTH is much more important than mAT due to the number of people playing each! Or else, as the easy route to satisfy the masses, they should give everyone 25 zkeys.

Some people didn't buy xx extra accounts just to waste their money, or?..

Some of these comments are laughable and it makes me think they are completely clueless, undeniably stupid and / or plain RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing retarded.
Most of the top ranked 1v1 players and GvG guilds only get their last QP during the last week, some even the few dAT's before the XTH voting closing time. So, how is voting a month / weeks in advance going to help? Then you simply have a bunch of ladder farmers in your preds, which typically do not get anywhere, or even play in the mAT.
Ever since XTH was introduced, I have always left my preds for the last day and the last few hours to get the latest updated voting list. XTH has always worked like this (other than the times they didn't actually update some guilds QP's), but now with this 'new awesome' XTH, it didn't even RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing work! ANET failed. Simple as that.

It's unfortunate, but it's your own faults. Many of the guilds predicted qualified well before the night before.

2reasons for it are :
1)we won't get punished anymore for making our predictions as correctly as possible, this means close to the deadline, just after last at.
2) people who were actually able to make their predictions stop dissing/laughing with the people who weren't due to technical issues from anets side.

Correctly, but not ALL guilds did, therefor doing it the day of the mat itselves grants better predictionresult in theory.
Remember rawr qualify after the last at and they won the mat then?
Kumu Honua
This is the worst part of all this. They had no idea something was broken.
The 1v1 thing is because I mentioned that there was less than 2 hours left to vote...
However the fact that he has zero clue about the site being inaccessible 3 hours before gvg voting till well after close is telling.
This will happen again.

I also got the helpful message from Wumpus...
I've sent back another reply in hopes of getting a little more than a "better luck next time". I'll keep ya'll updated, but I have a feeling nothings gonna be done about this

Of course nothing is going to be done about it. EVERY SINGLE month there is a problem with the XTH. The XTH is a joke feature to begin with. Suck it up and deal with it.

Do you hate pvers so much that you purposely didn't make it to top 8 (or even 16) ... again, in some grand scheme to mess up our monthly picks.

If everyone waits until the end to vote with their 1-20 number of accounts, I would think it would be understandable to see some slowdown on the servers.
Would it not be easier to vote a day or two before, and then check back right before the votes are locked in to check for last minute qualifiers? (Changing votes is even easier now with the new interface)

The site managed to handle it before it got "improved". Maybe anet need to make the date to qualify a day earlier, then people have a full day to make their predictions based on known qualifiers.

Its well known that some of the top guilds do not/have not qualified until the day before and indeed until the last AT - the same happens in HB.
If the fact was that my internet had gone down or that I was the only one having an issue then it would be down to me, but that is not the case, this is a widespread issue as can be seen from the posts on this thread.

In the end it is just some tournament points and next month you will have a whole new chance to vote and get free gold.

You may not have to redo your predictions. And if you would rather not vote at all because server side is a bit slow then do not vote a day early. Yes yes, I know, you should not have to vote early, I have read 4 pages worth of people saying the same.

Oh and btw I'm a Pver, I wish I could seriously do PvP but it's not going to happen soon unfortunately. But the high-end PvPers deserve credits for actually playing the game, while people clicking a few buttons on the XTH website do not (but those who observe often and report their predictions do!)
I made my predictions on Wednesday, just to make sure I'd have something recorded in case I can't vote the day before the mAT. People who couldn't vote will get their keys next month, closethread? (or is this another excuse to QQ on support and ping?)
It's their fault. The game is supposed to be about characters, missions, quests, etc. not entry to XTH. Greedy much?
Wish Swiftdeath
I did it 3 days before before and there was only one guild which hadn't qualified.
Yes, Anet's system did mess up but it's also partly your fault for trying to do things last minute, life is like that. If you do things last minute, often it doesn't work out.

And anyone following this route is either filthy rich (or his/her parents are) or even more braindead. Anyway, this is a side detail, because at the core of this thread, the real issue is that people left it for the last minute and then blame server lag.

Didn't know u hate rich people.
-1for u!!!
funway ftw
no the key issue "is " the server lag last minute or not it didnt happen with the last system as emphasized but just about everyone here. but it did happen with the new system indicating a flaw in the new sytem which is exactly what the people here are complaining about. And howmany accounts people have is none of anyone elses business annet "has" encouraged people to buy more accounts with the recent additions to the game starting with the XTH. Everyone here that is saying otherwise is obviously misguided , 10 years old , just plain arguementative or more likely all of the above. and if your parents wont buy you more accounts then it sux to be you but again this thread isnt about who has what its about the fact that annets servers couldnt handle theyre own changes and failed a lot of theyre loyal customers because i guarantee you they like the people that buy more copies and pay theyre wages a hell of a lot more than the uwsc people who farm to exist. by making it so people buy more games to earn more points therefore earning more keys puts the money in anets pocket rather than the gold farmers. and this sort of issue will only discourage the behaviour annet is trying to encourage. So open your eyes if you dont see whats going on and go trawl somewhere else. Anet failed agreat deal of its customers yesterday with laggy under developed servers and the majority of the community is disgusted! as shown by this thread.
