Merged the threads as they’re the same discussion.

Thanks @NerdieBirdie I shared this with the team
Sirrian and Nimhain are huge D&D nerds!
Sirrian was working on a Krystaran homebrew as he has lore for everything Krystara.
He also DMs a non-GoW session for the team after work

oops thanks @Anam_Cara I’ve fixed the video in the first post
Also fixed my typo… always want to spell it “peak” after “sneak” oops.

Hi all, Guild Wars has been taken down now.
We had tried to take it down earlier but apparently there was still an issue with it and it was running.

Compensation for the Sentinel upgrades will be sent out next week.
We’ll also be looking at how to make sure this week’s scores aren’t reflected in the next Guild Wars.

This was meant to be dud data, so it was expected to say that

Hey all, sorry for the delayed reply, I basically got hit with this news as I signed in, before I even got my coffee this morning I immediately jumped into a call about what is happening and what is going to happen with the team and I’ve posted this announcement thread about it as soon as I got out of that call:

Hi all,

Guild Wars is currently active on Nintendo Switch, however Guild Wars is intended to be suspended while we are bug testing it on the current game version.

The most obvious issue is that the event is currently giving error messages when you attempt to play it.

Due to these reasons:

• We will be cancelling the currently running Guild Wars on Switch shortly.
• We will send a global mail to make sure everyone is notified what is happening.
• We will also be compensating for Sentinel levels purchased.

We’re sorry this happened, the team are currently working on Guild Wars and also on the testing and safeguards we have to prevent this sort of thing happening.

Update (01/03/24):

Oops, fixed to Mist of Scales thanks!

I was originally focused on this week and last week but ended up going back over previous weeks as well to be sure and found that week 5 and 7 looked to have the same restrictions so I dug into it more.

Currently pre-determined region restrictions are being used which were hand generated. This will last until the week ending 5/03/2024. After that, the server will randomly generate the restrictions for all regions (except Central Spire), using the same seed (the seed will regularly change) for each player, so that all players have the same restrictions as each other each week.

The way the PVP restrictions are chosen may change again in future updates.

I apologise for saying it was random before - this was the information I had from the design, which is intended to be random as mentioned above. I have told the team that this is exactly the sort of thing we need to know and they’ve let me know they will do their best to provide that level of detail in future if som...

Nicer to have in the corner of my screen than just a static image

This is what I’ve been listening to yesterday/today. Might go something a bit more lively this arvo.

The restrictions are random so they can be the same back to back. I’ve given the team feedback that it would be better if they rotated less randomly. I’ll re-raise it.

Sorry we must have missed the original report.

I’ve reported this to the team now, so fingers crossed we can get that fixed soon.

EDIT: Turns out I reported this to the team before Christmas and there is a fix already in the next update, game version 7.4.

Holiday brain just yeeted all memory of this entire discussion with the programmers from my memory.

Hey, oof, that’s not great.

When did that start happening?
Do you get any error messages? If so, what do they say?
Does it crash you back to the PS5 home screen? Or does the game reload?

We did have some issues with game server lag/performance on Playstation around weekly reset today but it should already be cleared up now so let me know if it continues as well.

Hey @LummoxJR I’m sorry you’re still encountering this, I know how frustrated you are at this point.

Bear with me, I have to ask because it’s my job, but I know it’s frustrating to be asked more questions, so I’m sorry:

• Which model is the iPad?
• Have you gone into the game settings and selected “Download all assets” and the art is still missing?
• Did you end up reinstalling the game on the iPad after the main set of missing graphics issues we had where the fix required the reinstall?

I’ve raised this with the team again, thanks

Hey everyone,

The team have been looking at the Journey event scoring, difficulty and reward tier requirements.

Currently, we will be collecting more data from next week’s Journey event (depending on how that goes we may get data from the following Journey event as well), before we will look at which tweaks to make to things to improve the Journey experience.

Hi Adventurers,

As you know from the 7.3 Patch Notes, we had to suspend Guild Wars while we ran further bug testing and fixing.

Unfortunately, so Guild Wars can return in the best state possible, this is going to take more time. So it will continue to be suspended for now while we continue working on it.

We know what a treasured game mode Guild Wars is, so this decision wasn’t made lightly!

When we have more information or an ETA we will let you know as soon as possi...
