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.

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.

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 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.

whats exactly our fault about doing it 1second or 1month before deadline?
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.

Its not our own fault, I recommand that they remove the at on the day itself.
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?

Hello,

The Xunlai site has not been down recently. There may be some routing or lag issues when you attempted to login in, but the site is up and you are still able to vote for 1v1.

Please contact us again if you have additional questions.

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.

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.

WOOW thank you so much for your original and helpful advice..

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)

Why would anyone want to go and do something once, knowing that they had to go and redo it later?

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.

Thats like predicting the Superbowl winner after week 12 - many choices on the MAT placing depend on everyone that qualifies, not just some.

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.

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.

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.

Its not free gold, since people bought like 10+extra accounts just for it. <3

At least he had fun playing and is not raging. I say GG to all the mAT guilds, they deserve a thread like Game Coverage, not the non-sense that's here.

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?

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.

the reason why they added z title and voting is to sell more copies of the game, anyone that isn't braindead knows that

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.

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.
