manca un thread per le news rapide, qui riporto un piccolo fix che può renderci la vita facile a gandara per giocare con i nostri amicici gommosi

There seem to be a large number of people that either dont know about this feature or give up when they encounter the current bug with it, so instead of replying to every single one of them I decided to make this thread. If you are trying to play with friends, you most likely already faced the frustration overflows can be, but theres an option that lets you travel to your party's overflow called "join in" which you can see by right clicking on your friend's portrait while in the same zone. This option is currently slightly bugged, making it work sometimes, but there are ways to make it work all the time:
If you cant see the "join in" option and you are in the same zone, relogging fixes it.
If you can see the "join in" option but it errors, relogging fixes it.
I'm not saying they shouldnt fix it, but you can enjoy the game meanwhile using this bandaid fix.
EDIT: By "relogging", I mean just character selection, any kind of zoning seems to take care of the issue, so going to the mist, changing maps, etc, are solutions too.
Make sure the other people do that too, just in case they are the ones in a "bugged overflow" or with the "position bug", since if thats the case it doesnt matter how much you relog since they have to do it.

Creo un thread perchè sono informazioni interessanti/importanti che potrebbero perdersi in un thread più generico.

This is the current status of the most important issues we're tracking with Guild Wars 2 live service.

Account security - Hackers are systematically scanning email addresses and passwords harvested from other games, web sites, and trojans to see if they match Guild Wars 2 accounts. We're taking a number of steps to protect our players from this, listed below, but we need your help too. To protect your account, make sure you use a strong, unique password for Guild Wars 2 that you've never used anywhere else. If your password isn't strong and unique, change it right now. For the highest level of protection, also create a unique email address to use solely for Guild Wars 2.

Here are the things we're doing to protect your accounts.

We have the "password reset" feature temporarily disabled. If you need to reset your password, contact our customer support team.
We now have email authentication turned on for all players with verified email addresses. With this feature, even if someone guesses your password, when he tries to login from a location that you've never logged in from before, you'll have an opportunity to approve or disapprove of the login through an email check.
We've noticed that hackers who discover a working email address and password combination don't always immediately exploit the compromised account. We sent email to everyone whose account has been suspiciously logged into asking them to immediately change their email address and password.
We will also be sending email to all customers whose accounts have been unsuccessfully tested by hackers. We strongly recommend that these customers create a new, unique email address for their account.
We left in-game mail disabled for another half-day, because it's difficult for hackers to loot accounts when both in-game mail and the trading post are disabled. Keeping mail disabled this morning to prevent account looting gave us time to get email authentication turned on for all players, and gave players time to secure their accounts. But we will be turning in-game mail back on soon, so we ask everyone to quickly secure their accounts.

Email authentication - We started ramping up email authentication after last night's server update, and it's now enabled for 100% of players with verified email addresses. Email authentication provides a high level of security for everyone, and can provide an even higher level of security when combined with two-factor email authentication. Here's how you can set that up. Create a new unique Google or Yahoo email address solely for your Guild Wars 2 account. Verify that email address with Guild Wars 2 to turn on email authentication. Then follow the instructions at Google or Yahoo to enable two-factor authentication for all logins to your email address.

Parties, guilds, etc. - We're working to address problems with parties, guilds, and other social features, which cause symptoms such as party members not appearing on the map, party members not staying in the same overflow servers as they travel between maps, and guild invites and guild chat failing intermittently.

Overflow servers - During this initial surge of high concurrency, and especially while most characters are low-level and thus playing in the same starting areas, it's common for players to be directed to overflow servers. If you want to play with a friend, but you're not on the same overflow servers, you can form a party together, then right-click on your friend's portrait in the party list and click "join". Note that this functionality is sometimes intermittently unavailable due to the issues with parties and guilds noted above.

We expect the use of overflow servers to naturally subside as players spread out more through the world.

Botting - Yesterday we applied 72-hour account suspensions to 500 players who were running bots. We're continuing to detect and ban bots. Soon we will ramp up to our normal policy of applying permanent account bans to anyone who runs a bot.

Exploits - If you discover an exploit in the game, do not exploit it or publicize it, but instead notify us immediately at this new email address: exploits (at) arena (dot) net.

This morning there was a widely-publicized, newly-introduced exploit in which specific cultural weapons were selling for one-thousandth of their normal price. We fixed it with an emergency build this morning. We want to thank the vast majority of players who became aware of the issue, responsibly reported it, and did not exploit it. However, a smaller group of players did significantly exploit it, each purchasing hundreds or thousands of these weapons. We permanently banned 3,000 accounts of players who substantially exploited it, and applied 72-hours bans to another 1,000 accounts of players who mildly exploited it.

In-game mail - In last night's software update we fixed the potential abuse of the in-game mail system that we identified yesterday. We kept in-game mail turned off for another half-day while working to secure accounts against hackers, since in-game mail can be used to loot an account. And we kept in-game mail turned off while responding to this morning's exploit. We're now ready to re-enable it, and will do so this afternoon.

Trading Post - Yesterday we tested Trading Post with a random 15% of players. This test helped us gather valuable data to fix important bottlenecks. This afternoon we will test Trading Post with a random 25% of players, and then work to ramp up from there.

Tournament Rewards - We're working on fixing tournament chest rewards. Because this requires substantial testing, we do not have an estimated release timeframe to provide at this time.

Forums - Our most important priority at the moment is to ensure that the game runs stably and flawlessly. So as to not create additional demand on our infrastructure and on our programming team, we made the decision not to open the forums until the initial mass influx of players has calmed down a bit.

Next software updates - We're making non-disruptive changes throughout the day. We'll publish the next back-end server update tonight at midnight Seattle time. The game may be unavailable for approximately 20-60 minutes while we perform this update.

c e chi ci mette mesi pr sistemare cose ovvie e chi pochi giorni

ecco la serieta' che una sh dovrebbe avere di base

mashin · August 31, 2012, 7:13am

Bene, perche' visto che l'unico modo per traddare e' la mail in game se non son abilitate e' un po' difficile

Avee · August 31, 2012, 7:19am

a proposito di exlpoits, pare che la quasi totalità dei nihilum sia stata bannata per questo.

mi sono pure gustato in diretta il permaban della ragazza di Kungen

Hage · August 31, 2012, 7:23am

io intanto mi gusto un pò il tuo avatar

di questi tempi su ngi le tette scarseggiano

Gy-DoL · August 31, 2012, 7:25am

io SPERMAbannerei la topa del tuo avatar invece

povera Sniffy....è adesso?

psychotomimetic · August 31, 2012, 7:28am

Sniffy

K4raMong · August 31, 2012, 7:31am

Grandi notize

Non vedo l'ora abilitino il trading post che devo farmi la scorta di Jute scraps

E basta con questa storia! Ti ho detto che le battone arriveranno, abbi pazienza...

Hage · August 31, 2012, 7:32am

si ma anche te cazzo ti comporti esattamente come il nano. Prometti prometti e poi mai un cazzo

non mi hai fatto manco vedere l'emblema della gilda.
Ho premuto G ma vedo solo la lista dei barboni in gilda. Lo stemma non lo vedo ed è tutta colpa tua

Cleary · August 31, 2012, 7:48am

Confermo che il tip che ho messo nelle Faq ieri per entrare in istance tutti e 5 senza problemi funziona.

Fate party, prendete un WP fuori dalla zona Charr (Andate dai Norn o da chi volete basta che ve ne andiate

) e poi tornate tutti al WP dell istance.
State tutti nell overflow

In questo modo si entra al primo colpo senza nessun problema

Fatta e finita ieri con i gildani

Per una maggiore sicurezza, trovatevi tutti in un punto prima di entrare nell istance,in modo da vedervi fisicamente e non solo tramite portrait del party ..e mi raccomando una volta dentro non uscite altrimenti dovete ricominciare da capo

K4raMong · August 31, 2012, 7:49am

@Hage: Lo stemma lo stavamo scegliendo con CrisM1, se magari veniste su TS invece di fare gli ascociali, potreste partecipare agli eventi ed alle decisioni di gilda oltre che allo spam

Ieri abbiamo fatto il dungeon anche essendo 3 sul server principale e 2 in overflow

Hage · August 31, 2012, 7:50am

se invece conoscessi meglio i tuoi polli ti accorgeresti che ero in TS quando stavate scegliendo lo stemma (Nebel Lex).
Ma proprio non riesco a vederlo in nessuna delle finestre quando apro il menù della gilda. Boh.

K4raMong · August 31, 2012, 7:53am

E allora sei nabbo. Se premi G e guardi sopra accanto al nome, vedresti lo stemma del Grifone

Hage · August 31, 2012, 7:54am

ne approfitto chiedendoti un favore, fa uno screen sulla schermata della gilda così posso capire se sono scemo io o se è proprio un bug

no non lo vedo accanto al nome. Vedo uno scudetto bianco e blu

Cleary · August 31, 2012, 7:54am

Eh allora non so

Noi per 2 sere di seguito non siamo riusciti a farlo.. alcuni manco riuscivano ad entrare

L'altra sera e ieri sera invece, in quel modo, è andato tutto liscio alla prima entrata

Haldebaran · August 31, 2012, 9:03am

Penso che la discriminante sia lo stare tutti davanti al dungeon ed entrare assieme, se qualcuno inizia ad entrare prima che arrivino tutti si sputtana l' istance. Io quando ho fatto AC in pub, dopo 15 minuti di bestemmie perchè non ci si vedeva, siamo usciti tutti quanti, abbiamo aspettato 10 minuti davanti all' istance, ci siamo avvicinati al portale e finalmente ci ha fatto entrare tutti.

K4raMong · August 31, 2012, 9:30am

Allora i dungeon funzionano così:

Entra il primo del gruppo, agli altri esce un pop-up che avvisa "Hey giovane, il tuo compagno è entrato nel dungeon, vuoi seguirlo? Si/No"

Anche se si è in Overflows differenti, basta stare tutti nei pressi del dungeon

Grismi · August 31, 2012, 9:40am

funziona così anche per le quest principali, il requisito minimo necessario sia che il party debba sare almeno nella stessa area ( nella stessa mappa, non necessariamente in bocca al dungeono\missione ).
Se il pop-up non esce è perchè c'è qualcosa che non va nel server
