For those awaiting the release today, there is a small delay

I wanna see that NEW JACKAL SKIN kitten.
Courage to the team.
Sorry about this, everyone.
We're working on it as fast as we can.

To be fair, I don't think it was expected today anyway unless I missed an earlier communication. Tech difficulties happen so don't worry about it

I was merely expecting a gem store update today. It's fine.
Pardon me, I'm an Asura nut.
It's okay! Hope it get fixed rapidly! Thanks for bringing back and improving festivals each year by adding skins, decos and new rewards.
Shiny links, take a look!

??? Wheres my balance patch
this^ i think this would be a higher priority if it was one or the other as far as long term health of the game, but then again the festival will keep players playing for months right?
There’s always complaints of balance issues one way or another. They nerf whatever the flavor of the month complaint is and then whatever was below it is moved to the top of the list and the cycle repeats. The health of the game won’t really be affected because they chose to do a festival release over balance updates when the two are not done by the same team and are unrelated to each other.
I had checked this URL ( https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/releases/february-02-2021/ ) about 4 hours ago and the page said could not be found.. sometimes before a release they create the page, but there was nothing there up until a few mins before the notes.
Last year they at least put a message on twitter.
yet more grind, yet nothing for casuals.
delay til next year for all i care.
the truth is harsh, my opinions are too.
It's live already! That are very great news.

Honestly I wasn't expecting a patch today anyway. Lunar New Year is the 12th, I would have expected next week (9th).
They wrote that before the delay which is keeping the patch offline at the moment (hence the thread)

Errr... I had no update when I launched the client and DR still looks the same.
What did I miss?

No more LW episodes, only Expansions and Side Stories, please!
Nothing - see first post in thread. It was delayed at the last minute

Take your time, thanks for the heads up.
Exactly. That's why the later post was confusing, hence my question. Apparently, I didn't reload this thread in time and missed your earlier response.
I'll call it a night and check in again tomorrow. Good night!

With COVID goings on, skeleton crews and bad weather......at least they trying to get content up, so I wait also tomorrow see if the event arrives.
Apparently, the balance patch has been sacked.
game client fully crashed now? got kicked from wvw and cant log in anymore
Resident sleeper of UW & FoW (bring back the speedclears)
It takes as long as it takes. We decided to make the best of the situation and grill a snowman (EU)

powered by Sweet Campfire Treat, by far the most useful item you have added in years.
EDIT: The moment I pressed SEND, I got kicked out of GW2. Client frozen, revenge of the snowman probably. And login-sever seems to be down :S.
Is anyone else unable to load into the game AT ALL now? I log in, get to character select, choose a character, and immediately get a white screen with a "client unable to contact the login server" error. The game then shuts down back to the launcher.
yep crashed, cant login anymore.
Yes. maybe they are trying to patch it now?
Yep. Game crashed.
Be careful what you ask for
ANet might give it to you.

Time to grab a cold beer out the fridge
Looking forward to it...

This post contains my opinion.
Kicked + login servers down. I guess there are some bigger issues. Luckily I had almost finished all my dailies. (Except 1 fractal.)
Same. Gone boom. Got this message:

Thank you Anet for always working to fix issues.
Did the servers just go down? Cannot log in and got booted while camping with everyone in the west wing of divinity's reach.
The game still crashed only for me?
Thank you for working hard on this. I cry a lot about Mesmer needing help but other than that you are doing a good job on a great game.
I didn't even know LNY started today. I just logged in thinking it was time for another Faction to join the DRMs. =P
Same here, no one of my friends can actually get by the launcher
game ded ?
I second that
I can wait, thanks for the hard work!

I can't connect still
Edit: forget it. lol. I can.
Is there any plan to extend the festival by a day or anything? I took the day off of work today to get a head start on the festival, so I'm a little bummed out about the issues. Understanding, but bummed.
