Guild Wars 2

Hi ANET,

There are a number of events that frequently seem to get bugged on various servers.
Could there be some way to automatically reset the bugged event chains without manual intervention ?

My thoughts on this:
There is a public API that shows where big events are and the status.

Example:
Event: Temple of Dwayna
Status: Beat Up Malchor
Time in this stage: 221 hrs+ (Jade Quarry)

Is there some way of putting a wrapper around the event to check the API – if the API detects an event has not progressed it resets the chain in some way on the server you are in?

I know humans are great at seeing from the above information that something is definitly wrong.

If certain stages are still up > N hours something is probably wrong (especially mid-chain).

I know this wont help if an event has not started – in these cases it should be has this event started within N hours of the prior chain event starting?
If not reset the ‘primary event’ to kick the chain off again.

Right now if we are lucky the events will kick-start into life every 2-weeks when a major release happens (but not always).

I know this wont fix the root-cause of the bug (which is often intermittent – sometimes it works, sometimes it does not) but this would lessen the pain being experienced until the bugs are stomped out.

Many Thanks,

Bumping this again…
Is there anything can be done to automatically reset ‘bugged’ events without a server reset?

So after the last reset: Dwayna is bugged again – ‘beat up malchor’ 46hrs+ (Jade Quarry).

The event worked for 4 days before getting stuck again.
