So i dont know what its like on the kurz side, but for the last ~10 times the countdown has reached zero we've had the good old code = 15 message, and its district wide, preventing anybody from entering a match

No, it is probably a temporary bug.

Error 40's are hitting PvE too. Looks like when we try to switch into Euro, we get code 40.

I guess they are just messing with the servers since they are removing hb/ta this week. Happens sometimes before big updates.

Considering the timing that's probably it.

I wonder how much harder it is to play inside the server with the game active instead of shutting down while changing.

This looks more like a network issue - I will check with IT...

According to Regina, it has something to do with latency issues between Germany and the US. Hang on, I'll find the link/quote.

EDIT: Oops, Martin already commented. Well, I seem to remember something about a latency issue but can't find it.

You and Regina always blame the networks but never tell whats really going on. Why dont you just admit the truth.

*sigh*

Because the truth is that it looks like a connectivity issue, as many players can play just fine.
As said before, we informed the Network Operation Center (NOC) and they will look into it.

Just fix the Red Resign issue and remove the stupid error code 15 from all other PvP areas.

If people resign in HB they should get dishonorable... and the other person should not get a win if the score is still 0 to 0 and not even started.

Or just remove the faction reward of 6000 balthasar factions from the HB zaishen quest...

So why does error code 15 only come when the Zeishen quest is Hero Battles????

Dishonourable because they upset their heroes?
Dishonourable is put in place because the player who receives it has "let down" their teammates in an arena where teams are random (RA, AB)

And i really dont believe that they meant for code=15 to happen

Dishonorable would stop them from entering another game for a few minutes and so prevent the servers to be overflown by players who just dont want to play... but only want to join and leave... if you dont want to fight then don't play Hero Battles at all...earn your factions like everyone else does!

Um....it's not HB zquest day.....so, I don't get what your point is?

At this point, it's clear that whatever is causing this is not HB (although, the problems did coincide with RR day). It seems legit.

For the last few weeks, i have been playing every day and error code 15 appeared every time when the Zaishen Quest for PvP was Hero Battles, the last time i was playing in Fort Aspenwood.. everyting was just fine until we got error code 15.. i open Guildwiki to check what the new Zquest is and it had just swiched to Hero battles. That is not just a coincidence...and it has noting to do with the internet or a globla latency issue between USA and Germany... it's just Anet's servers that can't haddle so many open Hero Battles games. If a game would last 15 minutes then everyting would be ok... but if thousands of people just entre to resign then there is too many games open simultanously and the game starts rejecting people who want to enter. If anet doesnt want to fix red resign issue then they are the only ones to blame for the code 15 error , it's as simple as that.

Um...I understand your point. We did have the same problem the last two weeks on RR day....but today is not RR day. So...your point is kind of moot.

you do know that HB is being removed completely as a pvp format very soon, therefore effectively fixing the RR issue, right? Any preventive measure of RR before this is somewhat a waste of time seeing as the work put into the fix will soon be erased.

Brilliant! Since you know exactly what the problem is and Anet can't seem to identify it, why don't you petition them to hire you as a contractor? You go in, fix the problem, save the day. I admire smart people so much

sure. it would make sense if it was actually RR day. but today isn't. I even checked to see if, even if the zquest wasn't here, people were getting their last few points in before it was removed but there was only 1 district. i'm sure their servers can handle those few people. your arguement is invalid.

Maybe because thousands of players are sending millions of packets through the network for server requests, overwhelming the routers which have to route them, clogging up bandwidth, a network card on a server can only take so many packets at a time.

Also: Today is not RRetard day. Its JQ day. Like several people above me, your point lacks my interest. You are one of those know it alls who really know nothing other than to vent and QQ when things don't go smooth for ONE god forsaken day and disappear when things are fine, until things go rough again.

this is is really annoying it's a bug concerning areas that match up parties of players since the PvE missions in factions (unwaking waters, vizunah square) also get this message hopefully it'll be resolved soon
