Same problem. Tried safe mode, no change. Just hangs at the loading screen before character selection forever. Can't play
Edit : I take that back, it did, finally, load in safe mode. It just took an abnormally long time too, the window reported it as not responding, but I just left it for another minute or two, and then it worked on its own.
Switching the process priority to "above normal" helped me, no idea why.

i restarted NW like 10 times now and it dosent load me the char page :c never hapened before :(:(
I had this problem earlier but it eventually loaded. I think it's just taking longer than normal to apply the new patch. My total wait time was about 5 minutes, but I closed out a few times and restarted so I'm not sure if that makes a difference.
I tried letting it sit there. After about 3 minutes it finally tried to go through to the character selection page. It got stuck on loading character now and after about a minute or two it said Ticket Failure. I still didn't get in.
YEs, Gateway just died for me. Was trying to collect on Leadership tasks during my lunch break. Got through several, then the lock-up occurred - about 7 min ago.

Same issue as everyone else: Unable to authenticate: Connection to the account server timed out.
I think this goes to show that the test server isn't used for actual testing. It's just a place they can drum up interest in new mods before they go live, and all *real* testing takes place on their internal servers. So every bug, glitch, error, and imbalance goes live without any stress-testing or player feedback. It's the only thing that explains the same issues after every single update.
every time that this game have something new, its a lot of bug together...really the DEVs of this game sucks or they are so dumb that is almost impossible to believe
Unable to authenticate: Connection to the account server timed out
me too and Gateway is not running either
why did we expect this ?
I'd really would have loved to see that these issues do not show up after a new mod was implemented... if it is same as with mod 4 and 5 I assume the next patch installed to correct this will cause severe performance issues like we had with mod 4 and 5.. won't it, devs ?
And Akro then is allowed to run around for getting his spanking not my dreamjob although it might have some benefits I guess
Same problem to me i deleted all reinsteled from arc and i cant log in.... befour that i had problem with my trikster rogue 61 lvl with off hand wepon who didnt work wasted 5 days ++++...... i just whant to know when can i get back in..... my players name (Edziits) if it helps.....
Click on options (on the launcher) and turn on safe mode. It was able to authenticate for me and the launcher is now updating.
Previous post,
With SAFE MODE turned ON in OPTIONS, checked box for safe mode & clicked save. Retried, same error. It happened BEFORE trying SAFE MODE.... We were both in game when it disconnected us then gave us the error.... Hubs launcher is doing same error. I also tried ARC launcher SAME error..... "Unable to authenticate: Connection to the account server timed out"
GATEWAY is working..... Strange I must say. Just to test I set this task on gateway just now -
"Started new assignment "Upgrade Skinner."

Nope didnt Work, created a new thread about it, since it seems to be a separate issue:(
You would think they would have written down a solution to this problem, especially since it happens after virtually every update. hehe
Unable to connect to account server (3)
Relaunched, Server Status "LED" is on green. Ticked "Force verify" toggle to on:
"Unable to authenticate: Connection to the account server timed out"
This is the second time I got that today...
