Error 7

So Ice Blade was sitting at Arborstone and contemplating the task ahead when some knucklehead pointed out that Shatterstone (water elite) was available on the northern path around the central hall and suggested capping it with henchies. tongue

Attempt 1: Got the Urn, got part way up the side corridor and... Error 7.

Attempt 2: Reached the courtyard, saw the Elementalist boss, watched Danika get zerged by hostile cabbages and wound up back at Arborstone again.

Attempt 3: Got the Urn, capped the elite, hit the Oni ambush just at the entrance to the last room, retreated a bit and... Error 7.

Attempt 4: Hooked up with Zedf, hooked into a PuG team, read team chat complementing Zedf's bikini, rampaged through the outer hall, read some request for the monk to pick up the urn and... Error 7.

Again. :mad:


Zapping back into Arborstone and reading the guild chat I found that Wyrm had disconnected at the same time and memory, foggy as it tends to be in the heat of battle, had me recalling him uttering displeasure right after one of my other disconnects as well.

That was my third one today and Wyrms' fifth apparently. What is going on with the GW servers at the moment? It's damn near unplayable for some of us under these circumstances and it's certainly no fun. frown



PS. In the course of this little escapade I saw that the falling rocks tended to hit the northern extreme of the party more than the southern at about a 2:1 or 3:1 ratio. And that was standing still. Practically useless info, I know, but when I was waiting for henchmen to rez henchmen it made all the diffence when I opted to stand north of them and draw off the fire. Weird. huh

Bleh. Sorry to hear about it, WB. I can certainly sympathize. Some time ago, for a while I was constantly getting drops like this. Fortunately things have mostly cleaned up since then (with no action on my part) -- though I still get the very occasional drop.

Regarding that PuG: it was pretty brutal, and involved quite a number of deaths, but we did in fact manage to finish Arborstone (with 1 sword.) Next up, Boreas Seabed, which is as far as I've gotten with any of my characters. Rattana will be breaking new ground! However, she's got a good setup going for her protection spells now that she's got Assassin's Promise, so hopefully all will be well.

Err 7 is a generic lost connection to the servers message (I asked support once). This could be due to your ISP, your modem (or whatever you're using to connecto the the net with), an incorrectly configured firewall, a router between you and anet or an anet connection server crashing.

Back when I had recurring Err 7 it was due to my firewall being incorrectly configured after my ISP made some changes to their DHCP configuration.

Not when Wyrm and I get dropped from Guld Wars at the same time (and experience lag spike at the same time too?) when we're playing from two different countries and in separate corners of Cantha. Wyrm's been complaining out error 7 drops for days. Seijin was having constant drops a few days ago...

A/Net is where the problem lies and I'm suspicious of that maintenance announcement they had on the log in screen a few days back.

It's not the firewall, I turned mine off and it still causes problems.

This is really annoying the hell out of me. This crap has been going on ever since that patch to fix the lag issues in Cavalon and House Zu Heltzer.

Edit: here's proof that it's ANet's fault:
