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 āTrading Post,ā which is ArenaNetās term for its auction house, hasnāt been available, and perhaps more problematically, that itās been difficult to keep a group of players together.
The first issueās now been addressedāthe trading post is online. I havenāt 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 itās time to finally get crafting.
Unfortunately, there are still a lot of problems when playing in a group, mainly in that itās difficult to keep a group as it moves around the world and are placed in āoverflowā areas. From ArenaNet:
āWeāve 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. Weāre working on a fix and will provide a further update tomorrow.ā
Weāll keep an eye out for that update.
