Update: I am finding I can no longer select a character that is in any of the Icebrood Saga maps for more than a minute. I now get booted from the game with a hard crash that states: "Network Error.Please check your internet connection and try again.Code=3032:1002:3:3105:101)"

I have 100mbps cable internet hardwired to the modem. I am using a i7 9700k at 3.60GHz, with 16GB of DDR4 3000MHz RAM. I have an RTX 2080. I get an average of 112 FPS in this game, and even get up to 30-35 FPS in large world boss fights, or WVW. I am experiencing that ever-present issue of super high ping, and have recorded it at over 5 and 6 THOUSAND. I, like others, am getting the error code 7:11:3:202:101 and do not understand the cause for it. I, like others, have checked with my ISP, to see if there is a brownout in our service area, or to check if there are other disruptions. They've confirmed there is no issues in their realms, and to check if other programs are similarly impaired. It only appears Guild Wars 2 is affected. There are multiple instances in which the lag from GW2 has actually kicked my modem offline for hours at a time. To me, this feels like some sort of DDoS attack that is affecting the GW2 servers in general. That can be a way to explain this rather random scenario, and why not everyone has such issues.To better secure my own account, I re-upped my 2 factor and changed my password just in case something does fall through eventually. Hope this can get sorted out, as I miss being able to play in long stretches. Good thing I picked up archery again, as it helps to have something else to practice in the meantime. :)

Happened to be doing map completion in Bjora Marches, when I saw the darnedest thing. Palawa Joko's name, just hovering about 15 feet in the air. Kinda neat. :) https://imgur.com/a/CQpRO9o

I might have found a slight bug. I don't know why, but I logged into GW2 in Malchor's Leap, and fell under the map. Luckily the ultra-massive water table caught me, so I decided to explore how far it goes. I am about 27,500 units underneath Pagga's Waypoint, and the sunset looks beautiful. Imgur since I have no idea how to show images on this forum, no matter how much HTML I learned in college. :/ https://imgur.com/a/PyNFBTM

Surprise Supplies does not drop 5 supplies in first part. Pictures taken at first and second part with supplies progress highlighted. In group no one got 8 supplies. All of us had 7. https://imgur.com/a/OYTF43N https://imgur.com/a/HBwTZim

This achievement is just plain infuriating. The mobs spawn way too often, are near impossible to kite. The veterans you need to kill show up way too late to be of any use to get the crystals charged. I have spent almost 17 hours across 4 different classes trying for this achievement, and it is a massive headache. The mob mechanics need to be slowed down; stall the wave spawn from the last one being killed by at least 15 seconds. Each and every time I try to burn the vet down inside a crystal, I get a couple mobs spawning right by me, and they die first to the burst, even though I have targeted the veterans, causing the crystal to charge and nullify the achievement. Only one video seems to exist on YouTube on how to do it, and even then it is impossible to replicate due to the nature of the random mob spawn locations, as well as Aurene's rogue AI wanting to demolish everything in her path. I would almost go for a "Call Back" special action for Aurene, much like the Ranger's "Return to me" F3 skill.

Power Player achievement in Scion & Champion is not obtainable. The mobs swarm around Aurene, she kills them in the crystals when I am trying to pull them away with Branded Shards to single out the veteran mobs. The Vets should appear earlier, or the mob spawn rate should be decreased in order to facilitate a rogue AI like Aurene.

My sincerest congratulations to the writing team for the dialogue in this chapter. While I have not yet finished the story, the interactions with a lot of the NPCs seem a lot more robust; not the robotic sounding voice-overs I had experienced from before. The rendered cutscenes so far have made my heart skip a bit, especially the one in the Keep.

Thank you all for the insight with my issue as well as all of yours. I did wait at the Narthex 2 hours in a row, and no event popped for all that time. When the defense arrived, there was no Wizard. I left that night, came back on over 20 hours later to a defense event that also had no Wizard. I was a little irritated, but stayed there still, idling and watching videos on other achievements, when at 30 minutes another defense came along, this time with a Wizard. I put the LFG up in squad, had about 27 people join almost instantly, and when we successfully killed him, about a dozen or so folks linked the respective items they needed in Local and Map chats. I felt rather delighted and relieved that my own ordeal was over, and that I was able to help a lot of other folks because of what you all had suggested. Thanks, all.

Sadly for me, peak hours are when I work. Thanks for the information though. I appreciate the time.

Now, how often do these events spawn? Every 2 hours?

Getting more than a little bit annoyed with the Catalyst part of HOPE. The Gift of the Catalyst requires the soul battery be charged with the Legendary Risen High Wizard's soul. The issue? The High Wizard does not spawn with the defense. You have to get a new, fresh map instance in order to get the Assault phase event to get him to spawn. I know that there are a few events that got updated with the necessity of the legendary component drops to spawn the particular enemy required. I've waited a few days, each time waiting 2 hours for the defense to pop, since you almost never get a new Orr Map instance unless it is on daily achievements, and even then it is rare to see more than 2 maps running concurrently. I have tried a few times, unsuccessfully, to spawn a new map instance by taxiing people in to force an overflow. I really would love to complete this legendary, and want to get it done. I only have the Catalyst part left. All other parts are waiting on this. Any help or tips would be appreciated.

Bump for current bug still occurring. Every other event works at the outpost, with the exception of Nayrim.

In the point of the story where you need to go into the rift, after doing the protection of the NPC and subsequent running away, the maps kill boundaries never update. While trying to follow the "bouncing glittery ball" it flashes "You are leaving the playable area. Return to the instance or be killed." Since the map shows a big green arrow, and the kill planes very far away, I ignored it, and took one more step and died. I then tried again, thinking it was a bug that may have cleared itself. Even the NPC's chatter was muted even though you should be able to hear them clearly. About 15 times of this, I finally stood still and waited; the event wound up killing my character anyway, since it was a chase.
