Guild Wars 2

First let me say I really dislike these personal story instances. Some classes have little choice but to die and run back to finish off many encounters. Thats not fun. Way too many bugs and crashes too.

My latest problem: To open doors you kill a mob, he drops an orb, you place the orb, door opens. However, i think i’m on the 3rd door and I killed the mob, got the orb and when I got to the location to place the orb I got jumped by some mobs. I fought them off using the attack abilities on the orb but after a few seconds the orb dissappeared and I was weilding my weapons again.

Now there is no orb and I can’t respawn the mob that gave me the orb. So what? I have to do the entire instance over? Thats not going to happen.

I would like to comment on this to provide similar situation about “items being picked up”.

If “Rafkin.8923” ’s character is an Engineer, there is a bug with this. It has to do with the “Grenade Kit”. If you pick up an item, then switch to “Grenade Kit” for whatever reason, then pick up an item “Any kind of item to be picked up”, and sit idle or take to long to use the item for whatever reason; the program still thinks your still using your “Grenade Kit”.

Note: Want to clarify, it doesn’t have to be the same item for this item bug to happen.

So it will “sheath” your Grenades per say, like you had weapons out, and because the “Item being held”, is not your main weapons, it will completely erase the “Item being held”, and you have to obtain that item again by other means.

Edit: One other thing I forgot to mention, there is also another rare bug and only occurs in underwater situations, if you are familiar with the “Stone Sword”, an item obtained by an ice puzzle only to be put into the hands Statue to progress in the puzzle stage, this puzzle is located in zone “Diessa Plateau” area “Flame Temple Tombs”, for some weird reason, which I am unable to figure out why, if you are holding an item, regardless if its meant to be used underwater or not, the moment you touch any kind of water that has any programing to allow a player to swim, will cause the player to lose the item, and then switch to your regular underwater weapons.

This can happen to any area that has a body of water for a player to swim in or has the programming to allow a player to swim in. I only choose this area, because its the easiest to reproduce this bug for you Devs to test and confirm it.

This happened to me the first time I did this quest. I had to restart it because the orb item just randomly disappeared. I was playing as a thief too.

Yup, same thing happened to me too with my thief, had to redo it and not use Steal. they need to fix this somehow, either by locking Steal under conditions in which it would be game breaking, or by making it so that if you haven’t used the orb and don’t have it, you can pick up another one.

Jeffrey Vaughn.1793:

There’s a known issue with thieves and steal over-riding any other bundles they may have picked up.

I am indeed a thief. Thanks. Guess I do it over and not use my class defining ability. Nice job.

First time through had the same experience and also my guide disappeared as well. Second time through activated switch, killed guardian, DID NOT pick up orb, went into adjacent room, killed mobs, returned to pick up orb then return to adjacent room to complete. This way was still able to use STEAL.
