Guild Wars 2

A friend of mine and fellow GW2 player is frequently able to harvest resource nodes multiple times, apparently as part of the WvW Gatherer bonus, which states, “Chance for additional gathering node uses.” For example, he will approach a standard, non-rich orichalcum node for the first time and mine it, gaining three orichalcum. Almost immediately after he finished, another node will appear for him in the same location, allowing him to mine it again for another three orichalcum. He has told me that this can happen up to four times for him. It is not limited to orichalcum. It does not happen all the time, but at least 50% of the time. I am not talking about gaining one extra resource from one of your three swings on a node (effectively giving you four resources from the same node).

I have never experienced this phenomenon and I harvest/craft a lot. I’m wondering if it’s a bug of some sort or if there is something else I’m missing.

It is a known bug.

Some players like you and me do not and have never received their WvWvW bonuses. You can tell you arent by mousing over the castle icon in the top left of your screen. if it doesnt list the bonuses then you arent getting them.

There’s been no word on Anet if they’re attempting to fix this. As far as I know they only confirmed the existence of the bug.

So far the only fix that ive been told of is to transfer servers and pray that they start to kick in. Keeping in mind that you cannot receive bonuses during the matchup you transfer into. Meaning you only get 1 chance a week to hopefully start getting your bonuses, which may vanish when you transfer back to your original server :/
