Guild Wars 2 emergency team Secrets

 A community how to handle the game BUGIf you've ever seen in Guild Wars 2 official forum from the the ArenaNet staff of the "red paste, then you are likely to know we are heading in the team is doing what. Without further ado, I would like to introduce emergency team, and detail how we are handling bug!
What is the emergency response team? We are doing what?
Emergency Mission is a close-knit team united with the developers, they almost from the various departments of the company. We will be adjusted according to the technology needs of the members of the team, but our team's goals in a large extent, it is the same:
Repair cheat: these as part of our day-to-day responsibilities, has the highest priority, and we want as much as possible to fix these problems quickly and effectively to protect the game. To this end, the team most people usually spend some time to browse the forums and outside the network, and to timely submit the list to get a new cheat Report view external mailbox and forum bug.
2. Repair the high-priority game bug: Although the emergency team is not responsible for all of the bug fixes in the game, but we have to deal with one of the most. For example, maybe you remember the 11/15 update a lot of balance changes, most of these are completed by the emergency team.
Tracking the player concerned, and in accordance with these problems, minor modifications in order to improve the quality of the game: As previously mentioned, when we do not have the time to fix the bug, we will look at the Forum or play games, listen to the players to discuss the issues . According to the discussions and recommendations of the players will be game new improvements and add new features. If these issues need to be higher than our ability to further processing, we will issue to the other team to consider.
4 to add some new content to extend the role of the process: While other teams solely responsible for the new content to expand the game, but the emergency team will also be responsible for some of the content added, such as monthly achievements. Although we can not tell you in more detail what will be released next, but we can tell you that the emergency team will game some other modifications.
The emergency team decide how each update which bug fix, what cheat you want to remove, which functions to be applied?
In order to find out the game bug, we use a bug tracking database and a priority system. Worked in the computer game industry, people know that this process is similar: Each bug in our system based on the seriousness of the problem, according to how many players or how many systems affected in order of priority. For example, landing not crowded server and very obvious problem will be ranked in the first or second priority position, and text problems and small visual bug usually on the third or more after the priority position.
To fix the bug in the process of what?
"Guild Wars 2" bug and cheating repair is usually related to a different team of developers, with systematic cooperation will affect all aspects of the game. Been reported from the bug or cheating to the problem is repaired, where there are a lot of steps, ultimately to produce quality content, and can not lead to more problems.
When we receive a bug / cheat report, we are the first thing to do is to investigate and make sure that A: We can continue to trigger this problem or to find out the cause of the occurrence, B: write the information about the bug to the right developer to modify. Then is investigating the bug and handed over to the appropriate developers handle after quality assurance procedures to ensure that these bug resolved does not raise new issues. In other words, once the bug appeared and Report, we will often concerned about the bug, bug fixes or cheating involves a lot of steps, but also to ensure that does not lead to new problems.
Why not fix XXbug, or not to remove XX cheating?
We try to resolve as many issues as possible in each game update, but we have a strict deadline to ensure that all of the repair process have the time to go again I developed. We have been in the process of improving our emergency team often tell the other team to work together to improve our workflow and the tools we used to collect data. Although these changes are not always visible external, but these are constantly occurring.
After the emergency team will do?
Once we completely eliminated a serious bug in the game, we will have more time to focus on other parts of the game to make the game better! As soon as possible in order to help us do this, please continue as clear as possible to report the bug and cheating. We are busy with the game, so I can not reply to all questions, but we will continue to pay attention and listen to everyone's opinion, to consider all the issues raised in each update.
Thank you for your support! We sincerely thank you for your Report the bug help us improve the quality of the game, and we hope to continue to enhance the experience of "Guild Wars 2", to make the game in the next few years, more and more fire!

Delevel explanation for Guild Wars 2

Q：I had some questions- why do you automatically delevel when you go into a lower level area? It makes it hard to help people out and irritating because I took the time to get to that level to only be deleveled. Also, in Guild Wars 1, you could hire mercs to join your group & fight. Have they taken that away in GW2? Thank you.

A：No heroes or henchmen in gw2, i thought it would be a problem but turns out you don't really miss them. Works just fine without them! When it comes to deleveling when entering a lower-level area, I think it's good. You are still better since you have better gear (which makes a big difference!) but you can't just walz through as if you're superman. =) Which in turn means you can get challenging and fun gameplay even in lower-level areas, though you yourself is of a much higher level, and play together with low-level players on the same terms.

Stress Test Problems of Guild wars 2

ive participated in betas in stress test that had 3-6fps making it completely unplayable I think we are going to see some really smooth speeds on launch. 10-20 fps during a stress test if thats your low numbers then expect some great speeds during launch. Im sure arena has this down to a science from watching and taking notes on what went wrong , what went right with recent launches and have came up with a good game plan. The last few big MMO launches have gone really well. For those that always compare everything to WOW as a reference they made huge mistakes on their initial launch and some servers had been loaded with too many people and players spent several hours or not able to log in to certain servers and then they had servers that you couldnt find people to play with because pop was so low. Now launches are pretty smooth and they start with a low number for a pop cap but thats only to spread people across several servers and usually they lift the pop cap some as other servers fill up.

alright, fridays stress test lagged ppl out yes, why? because they were working on the servers trying to break it to see how much a server can handle. todays stress test there were alot of people playing with little to no lag. so they probably found out how much a server could take and fixed that. also if you lag out on pvp.. dont blame the game, its your internet im sorry but it is.

If end up being on high pop server or full server..it wont be like that for too long if pop caps are done correctly and of course most people only make it to max cap and never play again . then there is us the hardcore players that stay do end game . do pvp foreverits not necessarily peoples internet. For those that had great speeds and no lag then other experienced the rubberband effect on that and would experience a lot more lag.

Guild Wars 2 Stress Test on August 9 and GW2 FAQ

why everyone is getting worked up over the time of the stress test. We're just over 2 weeks away from getting 24/7 access to the game. Lets let the devs have a convenient time for them so they are alert and focused on making the game as.

no one said there won't be one either. it follows that since there was one last week, there's one this week, there very well be one next week. I'm sure they want to gather as much info on stability before launch as they can. but hey, i've been wrong before, and i certainly will be again.

I just received my beta code for Guild Wars 2 a few days ago... are there any more beta weekends coming?

no, but there's a stress test today 12pm- 4pm PST.
stress tests are similar.. but they are only for a very short period.. what said is partly true.. last week they had a stress test, this week they are having one (but they are not set to have them every week or so, only when they fell they need them) the stress test coming up only goes for 4 hours.

I know many are debate about DX11 and DX9. But I would like to know if the game will support true Crossfire and SLI - would be very bad if they didnt. In the beta the game was smoother with SLI and Crossfire disabled.

Graphics optimisation is one of the last things to go into a game. Last stress test saw a jump in graphics functionality mid way through. We may (or may not) see similar today. From memory it seems that they did say that they planned on full sli support by launch. If it was true it would have been from something I read here from at least a few months ago.

Hi, I have a question, I want to join my brother in other server, do I need to buy the in-game Gem to switch server in this stress test? Thanks in advance.
No need to spend money on gems when they will be wiping all character info before launch. If your brother is on your friends list, you can join him in his server for free. The only restriction is that you cannot play WvW, and you will not get his server buffs (only your server's buffs).

Not sure if it'll be active in the stress test, but there will be a free guesting service at launch, which will let you temporarily move onto a different server. We haven't seen it yet in the betas though. The only restriction I know for certain is you can't do the World Vs. World PVP when guesting. For that, you'd have to get gems and do a server transfer.

Yes we will Sylv, the thing is, I really want to play with my bro during the stress test later on, although is only for 4 hours, because last BWE3 we played at different server, my server was full he cant join me that time :(
