WOW this stress test is buggy

Im amazed. ANet have been doing so well so far, but this stress test is the buggiest by far.

The problems I have experienced that WERENT there on previous tests are:

1) leap/movement abilites all bugged. Eviscerate causes all players/mobs/npcs to disappear until you move then they reappear, savage leap causes instant death. Other movement abilites such as the ranger sword 2(cant remember name) teleport you all over the map

2) no indicator for party members on map, even when you are standing next to one another. 

3) groups are no longer kept together when going to overflow servers

4) wierd bugs in WvW where you get killed on teleporting into the zone by random NPC invaders, but if you move they disappear

5) Email authentication bug. System keeps asking you to authenticate you email even after you have already done so

6) Forums and account page down

 

Come on ANet, get it together. The previous stress tests were flawless! I blame the Spanish (Spanish localisation was introduced for this test)

    i had a LOT more issues last stress test.. honestly nothing aside from the email thing so far ::shrugs::

    I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg

    Admittedly, I haven't played this one much (just logged in to run around and see some dances), but I didn't have any problems while I was there.  Hopefully they don't have to push release back.  Some people might lose their shit.

    Most things seemed fine,(appart from the savage leap bug which for me made the world disappear, it's that powerful! NERF FFS!!!!!!), until about half an hour ago were I got booted out and can't login again.

    Unless they finished early of course.

    This looks like a job for....The Riviera Kid!

    This stress test is the buggiest yet. From email authentication aggravation to leap skills insta killing you, today was not an enjoyable experience. They better fix this before launch.

    At some point, my human thief was so bugged that using any movement inducing skill resetted my position back to the inn you start post-tutorial. It did not kill me though since my hp staid as low it was during the fight i would use my skills on.

    It stopped happening after a while, though.

    Yeah to me this test I've seen more bugs than in all tests combined. I hope they're just testing an unstable version or something.

    That sounds like something server-side is overloaded or bugging out.  Clients aren't normally allowed to make authoritative decisions on position.  Maybe an exception handler caught the glitch and resolved it by forcing a move to a known good location.

    also got to remember during stress tests they say they are constantly messing with things on their end so it could effect who knows what on our end.

    I can sum this thread up before it happens.

    OP: Guys the stress test is WAY too buggy.

    Fanboy: It's just a stress test guys, it's supposed to do that.

    Me:  ^That argument was valid every single other time a stress test sucked and the servers were wracked at launch too right?  Like diablo 3...right....right....RIGHT?

    It's a stress test, not a stable client version. Relax, it'll be fine. We go through this same shit leterally after every stress test. The clients used during stress test are not finished and being worked on. Certain things may be turned off or broken on purpose by the devs.

    LMAO see my previous post.  I love these recycled arguments that were not true the first time they were used and are still not true to this day.

    Well, it is disheartening that the game is at its buggiest for many people just 3 days before launch. But personally I'm not overly worried, I'm more interested in what ANet pr department thinks of it, hehe.

    I really think some people in this thread have no idea what a stress test is for, if bugs and problems didn't come up associated with greater server load than the stress test is a failure, worry about it if all these problems are there for launch.

    "We will be actively working on the game during the event, so you might experience connectivity problems or discover features that are not working as designed.

    Any issues you experience are a result of the rigorous conditions of the stress test, and are in no way representative of the state of the game at launch."

     

    Seems pretty easy to understand to me...

    It's funny because we get these same type of comments after every stress test.

    Stress test happens and is buggy = people rush to the forums "OMG stress test is buggy game sucks!"

    BWE happens =  smooth game play

    Next stress test: "OMG game buggy gonna be broken LMAO fanboys"

    Next BWE happens = smooth game play
