fix this already - utility bug and crash
Not only that, but today in the ascalon fractal I was messin around with abe, nova and stoya and the ritual began before we were done clearing the middle of siege/mobs.
We had captain ashym in the middle with all the kitten ballistas and arrow carts etc. -.-
We didn’t even do the ritual. It did it on its own.

Thats what i would call Veteran Player Experience.
Bugs like utility switching are annoying, but entire dungeons crashing is just ridiculous. This gamebreaking bugs (maps throwing everyone out, or just not loading the next one) would be fixed in hours if this was open world or PvP. Losing 20-60 minutes (for more casual parties) of progress is just lame.

“Fixed a bug that prevented players from changing utilities in dungeons while transformed.”

Ballistas will knock Shaman away from middle so Ascalonians can’t find him!
There has been a bug for quite a while now[snip]
FIX THIS
Awww, I remember when I had the slightest hope that something obviously broken would get fixed in a timely manner. Don’t worry, Sesshi, that’ll go away.
They don’t have the people to fix anything. There’s one team doing pretty much all maintenance, and since the stale and buggy instanced content isn’t that popular (surprise! wonder why that is…), it isn’t a priority.
2016 is actually a pretty good estimate considering issues like
- instance ownership
- arah exploits
- arah waypoints
- PvE condition balance
- PvE gear balance
- Alphard spin-pull-instadeath
etc etc
They’ll fix it, but thinking it’ll be anytime soon will just add to your frustration. We’re at the bottom of the totem pole; it’s a sad reality that the things we care about just aren’t a priority for them.

It is not unheard of for PvP servers to crash and kick everybody without reward, a bug still present. It just sucks a bit more for dungeons because of the time invested.

Yeah this was pointed out to me xD
We skipped Dulfy and when I died and respawned, I respawned inside of the door that she repaired, so I was preoccupied with trying to free myself out of it while the ritual was being done… so, didn’t get to see it.
I tell ya though, running back to see all of those ballistas and arrowcarts with captain ashym chasing Nova around with an FGS… priceless. x]
Stop trying to exploit please. It’s an intended new feature.

Skill switching was actually disabled in those fractals to test their new plan; utility switching is also too confusing.
- Utilities are now locked once you choose them once, in order to improve the impact of your choices as a player.
- You can now reset your utilities by using Utility Change Manuals.
- Added Utility Change Manuals as a rare reward in Black Lion Chests.
- Added an Utility Change Manual in the Gemstore for a discount price of 401 gems.
The changes to the Gem/Gold conversion were just the tip of the iceberg.
They should add ballistas and arrow carts to all dungeon paths and fractals, and make sure the ballistas hit 10k each time.
Make it so you can turn the ballistas against the foes and the damage is determined by your www ballista mastery.
The best thing Anet have done for dungeon people in a long, long time is give the interview where they all but said they weren’t supporting dungeons any more. It killed any vestiges of hope that had clung on after Fractured (or after Hrouda was fired, or after he stopped posting in the dungeon forums, or…) and made it a lot easier to convince people who are newer to the forums of this:
We’re at the bottom of the totem pole; it’s a sad reality that the things we care about just aren’t a priority for them.
(On a personal note, it also convinced me to play super casually, logging on about once every one or two weeks to pug dungeons with a friend or two who are also mostly not playing. And that’s been nice ’cause GW2 has turned out to be way more fun for me that way.)
best statistical loot in the game. We want everyone on an equal power base.”
Pre-launch, Colin listed things that make MMOs bad. They are all now in GW2.
