Although Guild Wars 2 has mostly avoided catastrophic launch problems, the online game has been plagued by a number of small nuisances. Among them, that the âTrading Post,â which is ArenaNetâs term for its auction house, hasnât been available, and perhaps more problematically, that itâs been difficult to keep a group of players together.
The first issueâs now been addressedâthe trading post is online. I havenât used it yet, but in an update from ArenaNet, they report that after resolving issues during a test, the trading post is now up and running. Guess itâs time to finally get crafting.
Unfortunately, there are still a lot of problems when playing in a group, mainly in that itâs difficult to keep a group as it moves around the world and are placed in âoverflowâ areas. From ArenaNet:
âWeâve made progress but still have capacity constraints causing issues with party and guild functionality, including symptoms such as party members not appearing on the map, parties not staying together as they travel between maps or into dungeons, and guild manipulation not working. Weâre working on a fix and will provide a further update tomorrow.â
Weâll keep an eye out for that update.
