Hey all,
We've found some issues with Gauntlgrym, and have unfortunately had to disable it. Only Guantlgrym will be affected. We're moving maintenance up to midnight to help people affected by this, but Gauntlgrym will be off until we can troubleshoot the source of the issue.
What Happened?
Some characters who were running Gauntlgrym this afternoon had their character's location locked, so they weren't able to log in, change maps, etc. This was only affecting a small number of characters who were in Gauntlgrym, and only on the Dragon shard, as near as we can tell.
What's the Fix?
We're turning off Gauntlgrym for the moment. Although we really want today to be full of PvP, we have to head this off at the pass.
Looking slightly ahead, we're going to be moving maintenance up to midnight to help people affected by this, so everyone will be good to go when the servers come back up. Gauntlgrym will be staying off until we can resolve the issue with it -- we do not yet have a timeline for that, but we'll updated you all as soon as we know more.
When's Maintenance?
Previously, we were planning for maintenance to start at 7AM PDT. To get this resolved as fast as possible, though, we're advancing it to midnight tonight, 12:01 AM PDT on 6/21.
We don't yet have an estimate on how long maintenance will be, but stay tuned, we'll keep you updated.
What Happens with Gauntlgrym Off?
Only Gauntlgrym content is going to be affected -- all other play should work just fine.
-Guilds won't be able to ally with Luskan or Delzoun factions for Gauntlgrym.
-Players won't be able to get to the Gauntlgrym map.
-Players won't be able to queue for Gauntlgrym, both the PvP and the Dungeons.
-The Iron Tabernacle and similar events will still show up next to the minimap, but players won't be able to join them.
For players already stuck -- hang tight. You might be able to keep playing in the map, and once we finish the maintenance, you'll be able to play normally.
Thanks everyone, and stay tuned -- we'll get you back into Gauntlgrym as soon as possible.
Update: Thanks everyone for your valuable input about GG! We appreciate it very much and are working to ensure that it's in tip-top shape before bringing it back online. We'll let you know our progress as soon as we have more details. Thank you!

As an amateur writer myself, I approve of the vivid imagery in your post. We'll work our magic, Egreir, stay tuned!
Not sure if serious.
Ps i havent been able to get the directx options in my video trouble shooting, so i cant switchit to directx9 like ive seen ppl say.
Anyway thnx for the info and i like seeing that you guys are quick to adress issues like this that make the game unplayable. Ive only been playing a few days but this makes me very happy to kno

No wonder.. thanks for this I was playingagainst some friends from a different guild and they were updating me on when they were completing things and they were FAR behind and I was extremely shocked when we (Luskan) ended up losing too. I'm on Dragon however. Sadly I didn't even get to mourn the loss for long since my game crashed soon after and I subsequently became stuck in the GG map. All this happens right after my accidental 24H ban that cost me a shizton of money in missed opportunies since I had alot to merch
If you are aliened with Luskan, basically you loose no matter what. Due to whatever bug is going on with that place.
My guild leader picked Luskan, so our whole guilds kinda screwed right now due to this. Please fix it. - . -
Lift me up..
Panda@kristingrave - CW - Dragon
Death@healxyou - DC - Dragon
the second running @ 7pm Eastern on Mindflayer had this happen as well. Several Luskan players were kicked and one was frozen in place.
Go for the eyes pwetrailturtle, go for the eyes!
A) You release the game with every single T2 dungeon being exploited and buggy as hell and you do nothing to stop it. You go live with the game so you deem it's ok that the content is broken.
So, the complaints are here so I can ask a question next:
How on earth is it possible you find game breaking bugs (I'm deeming them game breaking since you had to remove the content) on the launch day on your most important content? I mean it should have been extensively tested since the game has been in open beta for 2 months.
I just want to hear your explanation on this cause at this point I'm with some people on PWE worrying only about putting stuff up to be bought with ZEN....
Such a basic thing to do, yet you don't.
Yep sure is. The PvP part of it has potential, but the rest is pure 12 year old fodder. I'd prefer 10v10 guild matchups or 20v20 to GG. Seriously, the game had potential with foundry, dungeon running and PvP...it got squandered and I am disappointed greatly. As a gm, I can hardly keep people playing this game already.
Yes a 10v10 or 20v20 queuing system 24/7 would be great and if not at least have the pvp aspect available the entire duration of the event. Running around avoiding mobs to interact with objects to better contribute gets old after the first 5 minutes.
You can run to the t1 boss and just aoe everything at once but most people won't bother because all you get is a chance at loot you can buy for 5k glory.
The t2 boss is just an easy potential short cut to stuff that would otherwise take ~10 Gauntlgrym victories...or ~70k on the AH.
I sure hope it gets going before the weekend is up! Would love to try it out some more.
Drak
thats sad... it hasnt been working at all for me, ive been online for all the grym events, i cant que i cant get to the map, so its more than just bugged it never worked for some people, rather a let down at every turn, let us down with founders pack, let us down by nerfing priest and not other classes (priest is so stupid to play and recivie items in events anymore) and now your awesome pvp is broken, mind you the pvp is 20v20.... 20vs20 out of an entire server.... what are the other 1billion people doing while the event is on? watching from the observers window
Doubt it./10 char
Get rid of the lame pve portion you mean.
"game is Live now"
Without its main end game content
Thats Cool.
