Guild Wars 2

Are there any plans to make Evonhawke’s pipe organ properly playable again?

In the early betas, you could play Evonhawke’s organ at will, it was a really nice feature but some kind of global cooldown was added to the game that prevented a player from playing that organ properly.

I’d just payed a visit to the organ and it’s still broken. When you hit a note, it plays for almost 2 seconds, and you cannot change the note being played until the previous one finishes its sound.

Should I put this in the bug subforum?

No, it is clearly an intended change. The way it worked in the beta isnt reflecting the game as it was at release. So whatever their reasons are, it isnt a bug but intended this way.

Could you please elaborate more on this bug. I know I’m not camping near that pipe-organ, but in the past few months I’ve been playing it several times. I remember from the early months that it wasnt working, but no problem lately tbh.

The pipe organ worked properly on the beta.
After that, two bugs were introduced.
First, the global cooldown affected the pipe organ and forced the player to make loooong notes.
Secondly, the organ became unselectable while playing.

The second bug was fixed long ago, but I’m asking about the first one.

That raises a new question.
Why did A.Net change a perfectly working pipe organ that you could play like an actual organ to this version in which every key is forced to be played for like 2 seconds, preventing people to actually playing the organ?

Back in the beta I enjoyed listening to good players and I played some classic tunes in it to the delight of my audience. Now it is just a lame noise maker.

Sorry about the harsh words… I’m just too frustrated. I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings.

Just so you know this is still an issue. You cannot properly play the organ(not in northern shiverpeaks server at least, haven’t check other servers) And you cannot get the reward chest.
