As someone who plays in multiple sessions a day, and switch character often for wvw/pvp and for pve as I am farming/working towards a gen2, this bug is screaming at my face multiple times a day. While I can understand bugs might take time as we don't know how many cans of worms have been opened, I simply wish we have some form of status report/coomunication to sooth our souls, or to set the proper expectations. Having 2 comments, one was "oops missed this", and one "working on it", are a little too few and makes everyone even more agitated. Please communicate. The players are much better at understanding the tech side of the challenges than a decade ago.

While I am commenting on this because I just alt+F4 after encountering the bug 5min ago, I am glad to know that there is a designated resource working on the fix. Agreeing with the few who understand software engineering, or debugging in general, more doesn't mean it's better in this case. Not every engineer on a team is responsible for all areas, some are more specific than others, and depending on the problem, the more people you add, the more time you spend on communicating/coordinating than actually making progress. Thank you for the update, this is much appreciated. Just hoping there aren't more layers of issue under what has been found already.

Not contributing to discussions much, just feeling sad that there hasn't been much update on this issue. I have limited time playing recently, so I often just do some casual runs/gatherings when I have that 5-10min break. This last week this bug really killed my joy as it takes my significantly longer to load through my 20 characters. I don't think it's realistic to always have a fix right away as it still needs to go through test environments, but I am hoping there's some communication as to what might be contributing to the issue at the very least since the last Dev response 4 business days ago. The one observation that I noticed, but not on Nasbit's list is that the bug is reproduced for me on my GeForce Now account. I don't know what version/set up the GeForce Now server runs, but I would assume it's running a more barebone instance than my PC.

I posted this on Reddit before finding it on this forum. I have same experience and I replicated the issue on both PC and GeForce Now. ------------------------------------- After today's patch, when I switch between toons, occasionally (usually on 2nd - 3rd switch), the characters in my log in screen cannot populate. Ex. Only 1-4 of my 20 character slots would populate with the character's image. When that happens, regardless of which toon I choose, I cannot no longer load into the map properly. Ex. the loading time is significantly longer (a couple minutes instead of a less than 15second on my SSD) and all skill icons disappears after loading. Other observations: This occures when I switch toon I have 20 characters Everytime it happens I have to restart game Same issue replicated with GeForce Now and PC

Wow wow wow! Thank you so much!That's the official statement that gw2 opt-ed in from 2 hours ago. I have re-read the statement 5 times and I don't think I read it wrong. Thank you Anet! Thank you Laila for the share! "In addition to the 17 Game Ready on GeForce NOW titles added on Thursday, we’re happy to share that the following games are now opted in: Guild Wars 2 (NCSoft Corp)"

It seems anet did opt in This is very important, make or break many players' routine for tomorrow. It's there a reference? Trying to look for it on Google..

Would it be possible to have a tab in our hero panel where we can just pull unlimited number copies of the legendary we own, so the item operates the same as current legendary items, but on the equipment template, we can only equip UP TO the number that we actually own?So if I have crafted 5 legendary rune, 1 Bolt, then I can pull 18 runes, and 3 Bolts, but on EACH equipment template, I can only equip a max of 5 runes, and 1 Bolt? I am thinking of it as those achievement skins. Of course, I don't know how items are coded in GW2 so this can be totally meaningless.

Pleas opt in Anet. I commented on the reddit post as well. Basically when I introduce the game to my friends, the most common questions are: Can my computer handle it? Do I have to pay? I think GFN really helped my friends start. In my personal side, my wife is able to play on a 10 years old computer with me thanks to GFN. If it is a decision, I would love to understand because I know you are a company of reason. I will continue to support you regardless as you have shown to be really there to make a great and immersive game. I love the action combat and wvw. Thanks again for the great and effort making a game that's so different from everything in the market - a game that encourages player to help one another.

Congrats!! I was only able to run with you guys a while ago when you guys were still on SBI. It was very awesome and fun. I enjoyed every moment of it. Thank you for sharing this important moment with the community!
