Also can't enter the home instance. My friends and I are just getting stuck on an infinite loading screen

I wanted to add my voice to the opinions on patch notes, namely the firebrand mantras. I honestly don't see the purpose of this change. I primarily play quickness firebrand, both dps & heal, and with a revert to original mantras using that final charge will always feel like a mistake. Using up all the mantras prevents me from continuing to provide my primary role of giving quickness until I recharge the mantra. But while charging it, I cannot perform my secondary role of dps or healing. That just feels like incredibly punishing gameplay. No matter how amazing the final charge might be, or how many pages I get back from using that final charge, having to recharge mantras mid-combat just feels bad. You aren't doing anything except watching a cast bar filling up, and it feels more like being a spectator than being relevant in the fight. Even if on a dps firebrand spamming mantras to get more pages is the optimal dps rotation, I don't know that I could enjoy that gameplay. Which is a shame because I am really enjoying the recent changes to the tome skills and pages. If charging mantras actually did something, like pulsing damage and/or healing (even a small amount) maybe it would feel less clunky and less separated from combat. Additionally I often get a bug where the number of charges left on my mantras is wrong. With current mantras it doesn't bother me but if that bug isn't fixed for this change it is going to make avoiding that last charge even more aggravating. On a completely unrelated note I am very happy to see the short cooldown addition to tomes since accidentally opening tomes when trying to close them has been causing me a lot of issues. And even more unrelated, that pulsing alacrity change to elementalists' overloads may actually make me want to play elementalist again, so thanks for that!

For me personally it has sorted itself out. Wasn't working over the weekend but just fixed itself today. No idea what might have changed.

I am also having this problem since yesterday. I can consistently get the game to crash every time I try to look at the gem store. I can use the trading post fine however. I haven't bought anything recently. I see others mention the Black Lion Hunters Board which I own but I've had that for a long time now.

Yes, fixed for me too. All upgrades and decorations are back! Thank you!

I first noticed something was wrong right before I logged off last night, but I can't remember the precise time. I want to say some time between 11:30pm and 12:30am GMT+1, definitely before reset time anyway. At the time I was too sleepy to pay much attention.

I'm also having issues, also on Vodafone broadband. Neither the game or the website will respond. My mobile network is different and I can access the website on my phone. My account was never banned so I don't think that's relevant to whatever this issue is.

I've seen that volunteer thing come up when I had a taxi tag for Drakkar up and people were telling me the map was full, so there has to be some other criteria than just the current map population. Or it's just broken...

Sounds like it could be this place: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Raven_Shaman%27s_Power_Source. Edit: And I am far too slow, I see

I was rather surprised to get money in the mail, and then even more surprised after reading this thread to see the extra 1000 gems. It seems strange to me there was no announcement about any of this (that I am aware of). While I never did get that mount skin or even the free bonfire (for some reason), I feel somewhat mollified now that I have compensation for the fact I was affected by the server outage despite not logging in during the very specific time period.

After opening 168 chests, I had 16 glitched weapon drops. I've been assuming a 10% drop rate, if just to keep my spirits up when I got unlucky days with nothing, and it seems to have worked out about right for me. I can't comment on the different difficulties since I only did 3 on infantile and only 1 trib. I was actually surprised how few duplicates I ended up with. I wasn't expecting to get as far with the collection as I did. In the end, my duplicates were 2x hammer, 1x longbow, 1x greatsword, 1x focus. So I didn't personally see any weighting in drop rates. Now it's time to wait until next year to try and finish the collection since I am too cheap to buy off the trading post and the vendor price of 10g isn't any better. Goodbye SAB!

It took me over 40 chests before I got my first glitched weapon drop, after I'd finished the 'mercy' achievement. And because RNG is RNG my next drop was in the very next chest. Assuming I'm doing the maths right, I've now opened 78 chests and had 6 drops, 1 of those a duplicate. While I was getting incredibly frustrated for all those days doing all the levels with nothing to show for it, I'm happier now that my unlucky streak is over and my drop rate is starting to average out at what everyone else seems to be getting.
