and it is already back up
edit:
quote:In preparation for the launch of Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns, our Game Operations Team will be conducting maintenance on both our European and North American servers. The maintenance is unlikely to cause any gameplay issues, but a small number of players may be required to log back into the game at the conclusion of the update.
The maintenance is scheduled as follows:
European Servers: 7:00 PM PDT on October 7 / 4:00 AM CET on October 8
North American Servers: 11:59 PM PDT on October 7 / 8:59 AM CET on October 8

How fast is levelling up in this game? Currently have a level 10 about to start personal story, just wondering how much poopsocking I'll need to put in to reach 70/80/whatever.
From 1-20 you gain levels pretty quick.
From 21-80 while the numbers may be bigger the XP gain rate is the same. You can probably get to level 80 in a week of casual play.

if they take out normal wvw to replace it with some half-assed guild thing then i can see a lot of people being unhappy
Pretty much the entire current wvw population would be unhappy about it

Are there any non elite spec classes that can compete? I don't have Hot but I would like to try to play. Altough I watched a guy on twitch try to play spvp and he seemed very frustrated about the matchmaking.
I actually prefer to play necromancer without the reaper specialization, with elementalist you might be able to get away without the spec. Either way matchmaking has always been lovely and adding a poorly thought out esports division system only made it worse.

quote:Today we’re here to ask about the future of the Desert Borderland map in WvW. Since release of the Desert Borderlands map there has been significant community debate surrounding the Desert Borderlands and there’s been a vocal group of players requesting that the Desert Borderlands map be removed entirely. The question remains, is that opinion actually representative of a large majority of the WvW community?
Since this is a change that has significant impact on WvW as a whole, 75% of the community vote must be in agreement to remove the Desert Borderlands map.
Do you believe that permanently removing the Desert Borderlands map from play would be a superior game experience?

Thanks for the advice. I'll wait to see if it drops to $35 during the sales coming up at the end of the month.
DLgamer has it for 22% off bringing it down to $38.99 and is listed as an official reseller if that helps

It's probably better to save them to finish leveling to 80 instead of trying to level up faster, since the XP needed to level increases with each level.
The rate of which you gain XP past level 20 is linear, while the numbers are bigger the rate remains the same.

Why they closed the servers with no warning:
quote:There’s a bug in today’s release that can cause soulbound items in an inventory bag other than your first bag to become soulbound to a different character on your account. We can fix the bug with no damage done, except we can’t straightforwardly fix it if you’ve moved one of those incorrectly soulbound items into bank storage. We’ll have to work on a solution for characters in that state. To prevent additional players from getting into this state, we’re going to shut down the game servers until we can fix this bug. We apologize for this inconvenience.

I just get annoyed at how much work goes into all these cool weapon skins only for them to be stuck behind the most boring acquisition method ever.
They did this with Ambrite weapons and Auric Weapons so it isn't a new concept for them.
edit: Also it would be pretty cool to play the new zone besides farming a ton of mastery XP or collecting bloodstone rubies.

Rollback 
quote:This is an update to the situation where soulbound items have been incorrectly soulbound to the wrong characters. After further investigation we’ve determined that there is damage to almost all character records that were played this morning, not just to those who transferred soulbound items to or from a bank. To repair the damage, we will have to roll back the state of the game and characters to prior to this morning’s release.
No one wants to lose a play session’s progress. We apologize for this. I’m sure you’ll also have questions about exactly what a rollback means to you. The general answer is that everything about the game state, including things like trading post transactions, will be restored to how it was prior to this morning’s release. The only unusual case will be that if you purchased the game or purchased gems this morning, you’ll still get your purchase.
The process of rolling back and then validating everything to bring the game back up will take hours. We’ll keep you updated. There will be a period of time when these forums will be unavailable, but we’ll post updates through other channels.

Uptop edit:  Servers are up
quote:As we previously posted, today’s release unfortunately contained a bug that damaged character records, and in response we’ve taken down the game servers and are in the process of rolling back the state of the game to where it was before the release.
We shut down the game servers at approximately 11:30 am PDT (18:30 GMT), and we’re rolling back the game state to 9:10 am PDT (16:10 GMT), so there’s a 2h 20m window where all changes to the game are being rolled back. Here are the details for what will happen to various changes made during that window.
If you created a new account during that time period, you’ll have to create it again. If you changed an account, for example changing your password or applying two-factor authentication, you’ll have to redo that change. If the customer support team changed your account for you, for example restoring it to you, they’ll redo that change over the next 24 hours.
If you purchased the game on an existing account, we’ll restore your purchase. If you purchased the game on a newly created account, you’ll need to recreate your account. We’ll contact you so we can restore your purchase after you have recreated your account.
If you purchased gems, we’ll restore the gems. If you purchased an item using gems, that purchase will be rolled back, and you’ll have your gems back. You can purchase again. If you purchased a sale item that’s no longer on sale, you can purchase again, then contact customer support for a refund of the difference between the current price and the sale price.
All in-game transactions are being rolled back, including transactions through the currency exchange, trading post, guild bank, and in-game mail. The trading post will come back online after the rest of the game does, and with buy and sell offers back where they were prior to this morning’s release.
Character progress made during the affected time period is being rolled back. If you had an extreme situation, for example you got a precursor from the mystic forge and then had that rolled back, contact our customer support team and we’ll try to help you.
Thank you for bearing with us through this process. We’ll be back online soon.
SOON
May not actually be soon

Also this looks pretty cool
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/world-vs-world-skirmishes-arrive-on-september-9/
quote:
World vs. World Skirmishes Arrive on September 9
Hello, everyone,
In our very first World vs. World development poll, we asked the community if we should prioritize quality of life or scoring improvements. Scoring won that poll, and since then, the team has been hard at work bringing the first phase of improvements to fruition. We’re happy to announce that Phase 1 of Skirmishes will be activated on September 9!
What You Can Expect from Skirmishes
Matches are still a week long, but have been split into 2-hour time slices that we are calling Skirmishes. During a skirmish, players will earn War Score normally as they always have, but War Score is now being used to determine the winner of each skirmish. When each 2-hour skirmish ends, War Score is reset, but actual map state and objective status remains unchanged.
Skirmishes award Victory Points based on placement:
1st—3 Victory Points
2nd—2 Victory Points
3rd—1 Victory Point
Victory Points are used to determine the match victor.
Skirmishes will keep the winning and losing scores closer together, allowing the losing worlds a better fighting chance. Skirmishes should also help lessen the severity of runaway matches caused by off-hour coverage.
Skirmishes will be activated for both EU and NA when the EU reset happens on Friday, September 9, at 11:00 AM Pacific Time (UTC-7). We cannot turn on Skirmishes separately for EU and NA, so this will result in the last few hours of the NA matchup using the new scoring system.
What’s Next?
We’ll be releasing WvW scoring features in smaller pieces so we can ensure the systems are stable and working as intended before we add additional features. If everything goes smoothly once skirmishes are activated, the next update will give upgraded objectives more War Score based on their upgrade level (secured, reinforced, or fortified). Once that’s in, we’ll be monitoring skirmishes and your feedback to decide what to work on next.
Thank you for your continued feedback and support. We’ll see you in the Mists this Friday!

I guess amazon announced three games the studio they set up is working on. I guess this is the MMO they poached Colin for.
https://www.twitch.tv/playbreakaway/v/92134477?t=10m10s
quote:New World is a massively multiplayer, open-ended sandbox game that allows you to carve your own destiny with other players in a living, hostile, cursed land.
How you play, what you do, and whom you work with or against is up to you.
Live on your own amidst the supernatural terrors or join with others to build thriving civilizations.
In this evolving world that transforms with the changing of the seasons, weather, and time of day, the only limit is your own ambition.
A release date for New World has not been set.
Also they are making a moba and a third person shooter.

quote:11/21/2016 – November 21 Release Notes
Living World
Taimi made a major breakthrough in Rata Novus when she discovered that magic can be broken into spectrums, which led her to speculate that the remaining dragons are absorbing each other’s power. She sent the commander to the Fire Islands to collect a recent destroyer sample in hopes of testing her theory. The expedition was a success, but the group was compelled to leave when a vision from Glint’s egg called them back to Tarir…just in time to see Aurene hatch! The celebration was short-lived, however. A mursaat named Lazarus crashed the party, claiming his rebirth had changed him and that he now wanted to side with the new guild and stand against the dragons. The commander declined the alliance, but Marjory was intrigued and left with Lazarus. Now, with Jormag also on the rise, the commander has to brave the bitter cold to see how the new theory of magic absorption affects the merciless ice dragon. Bundle up!
New Legendary Shield: Shooshadoo
A new legendary weapon is now available. Speak to Grandmaster Craftsman Hobbs in Lion’s Arch to learn how to craft the new shield precursor Friendship, and forge the new legendary shield Shooshadoo.
Fractals
New Fractal—Nightmare
A new fractal is accessible through the Mistlock Observatory. You may now delve into the Nightmare.
A new Nightmare fractal achievement category has been added under the Fractals of the Mists achievement panel.
New rewards are available from BLING-9009 in the Mistlock Observatory.
Enterprising adventurers have attracted the attention of the Harbinger.
Aquatic Ruins
Instead of depending on scale, the path will be random with an equal chance for the dolphin or dark path*.*
Molten Furnace
The fire tornadoes in the boss chamber have had their hit boxes improved. It is now easier to dodge them.
Uncategorized
The pulsing-orb lightning attacks on the stairs before Old Tom have been reworked.
Hit boxes have been reduced.
Damage is now a flat -80% of your total health.
Damage is not applied to pets.
Players who are downed and teleport will now instantly revive.
Underground Facility
The dredge in the Underground Facility have opened their eyes and can now be blinded.
Mai Trin
The Champion Inquest Technician has had its health reduced by 60%.
Swampland
The objective timer for the final 25% will now show at all fractal scale tiers, not just the master tier.
Volcanic
Lava no longer deals damage to dead players.
Achievements
A new daily recommended achievement for tier-3 fractals has been added. Completing this achievement awards a Fractal Expert’s Research Chest.
Fractal Expert’s Research Chest: contains a Pristine Fractal Relic, 2 +1 Agony Infusions, 2 Resonating Slivers, 3 Fractal Encryptions, and a Fractal Research Page.
Daily fractal achievements have been moved to live under the Daily achievements category.
Mistlock Singularities
Mistlock Singularities now repair all equipped gear when used.
Mistlock Singularities now apply Infinite Fractal Potion effects, provided the player has an Infinite Fractal Potion in their inventory.
Mistlock Instabilities
No Pain, No Gain now applies fury instead of stability.
We noticed that the random application of stability in defiance break bars felt like an uncounterable punishment against certain attacks. The removal of stability in favor of fury should retain the threat of the boon’s application without feeling unfair.
Social Awkwardness now applies a flat 70% multiplicative incoming healing reduction regardless of stack count, and it now outputs damage to the combat log.
Miscellaneous Changes
Added an Infinite Mist Omnipotion that can be created by combining Infinite Mist Offensive, Defensive, and Mobility Potions in the Mystic Forge with Gifts of Ascension.
Fixed an issue where the Mistlock Observatory jumping puzzle awarded participation for the wrong jumping puzzle.
Added a Potion Refunds tab to Dessa’s Alchemist that allows you to gain a fraction of the value in Fractal Relics in exchange for unwanted potions.
Removed the ascended aquabreather recipes from Cracked Fractal Encryption. The recipes can be purchased from BUY-4373.
Player skills will now reset their cooldowns when a party wipes inside the Fractals of the Mists.
The Mai Trin timed mote for the Ad Infinitum legendary backpack has been moved to scale 98.
The fractal scale selection UI will now disable action camera while it’s open.
World vs. World
General
There is now an option under Competitive to turn on WvW simple nameplates.
WvW simple nameplates turn enemies’ or all players’ nameplates into circles to help reduce nameplate clutter.
Upgraded objectives now reward more war score per tick and when captured.
Points per Tick/Capture:
Objective Base Points Secured Reinforced Fortified
Camp 2 3 4 5
Castle 12 18 24 30
Keep 8 12 16 20
Tower 4 6 8 10
Sentries and shrines now grant 2 war score on capture.
The chests at the end of reward tracks now stack.
Plush Griffon Tonics have been disabled in WvW.
Fixed a bug in which auto turrets and supply depots sometimes took damage.
Fixed a bug in which the wrong skill effects for enemies were playing for mortar Fire Incendiary Shells.
Fixed a bug in which Presence of the Keep wasn’t applying correctly.
Fixed a bug in which players could sometimes earn 40 supply from Presence of the Keep.

Fixed a bug that prevented glider deployment animations from playing in some situations.
