SpinDashMaster.5680 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Remember that what you need to do is open up two new maps. It only takes 75 people to open one new map, but that's only going to band-aid the problem. To get yourselves out of this mess you need to create TWO new maps. This is going to take 150 people: 75 to open and migrate to the new map, another 75 to go back to ip 204 and migrate again to another map. IP 204 should close after that.

SpinDashMaster.5680 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Nope. 204 gave way to 178, but there were not enough people to fill 204 a second time DURING that time. You need 150 people, not 75, or you'll be stuck in this loop. Opening another map, then coming back a day later and opening another map isnt gonna cut it. You need to open TWO more new maps at ONE time.I reiterate that you couldn't have done this because there hasnt been nearly enough people in Istan to cross the 150 threshold yet.

Exact #s, not sure, but certainly way more than 75. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinDashMaster.5680 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Yep, already communicated with them, They only opened one and moved to it. They didn't open two. Again the numbers haven't been there to open TWO maps at one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunnyDehlight.9754 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 We need to get those 175 people during prime time today since Anet will at the very earliest take maybe a month to resolve this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blp.3489 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Perhaps if we all open the Game Menu, select Support, and submit a bug report on this issue it will be more effective in getting ArenaNet's attention than posting in this thread? Is there a way to see open tickets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a way to see open tickets?I for one have sent a ticket in Thursday morning, guess what? No response yet. I know Tags and regulars who run this map have also sent in tickets. Nothing is more effective than using their official forums to post about game breaking bugs as it was intended. The problem is they just don't read/check their own forums as often as they should.

Mikey.8395 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 It's still broken as of now. Guys take it to Reddit, they read that more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinDashMaster.5680 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I finally gathered enough people! 204 should be closing now, IPs 124 and 34 are open as of now. Have fun with your loot!Correction: people are still defaulting to 204, but 124 and 34 are both open. Keep the squads alive in LFG, and you'll break out of this mess once and for all.

Drecien.4508 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 We get chairs but no way to get bugged maps fixed in a timely manner? Could a routine be set that would force all maps on all servers to reset at normal server reset? If a meta is running then it would stall the map closure till the end and then we could have clean, fresh, crisp maps that aren't bugged. Or am I missing something?

evilsofa.7296 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 It's great that the bugged instance has finally been closed after over a week, but this has put on display an overarching issue that Anet needs to solve: default map instances are lasting much too long, making it potentially very painful when an event or event chain permanently stalls or hangs, especially when the event in question is required for storyline progression.Default maps should be reset regularly, rather than staying up indefinitely. It seems reasonable to do so at daily reset time, because everyone could reasonably expect and plan around that deadline. There may be some minor benefits to very long-lasting instances, such as guild bonus banners staying up for very long times, but the cons are now clearly outweighing the pros. It could also be argued that daily default map resetting would be a bandage fix that would lessen pressure on Anet to fix the underlying event hanging bugs, but this 9-month-old bug has made it clear that event hanging bugs are falling through the cracks.
