Guild Wars 2

Today the Veteran Oakhearts in Gendarran Fields are tiny and white and are no longer veterans. I haven’t seen anything mentioned in the updates about this and am wondering if it’s just in the one zone or throughout the game.

I’m also wondering if other types of veterans have been changed as well.

I noticed they looked exactly like the Ranger’s spirits. Strange, possibly a bug?

A dev already responded to this in another post (in the bug forums i think).
Apparently he accidentally swapped a string which swapped Oakhearts with Ranger Spirits xD. I would expect it to be fixed at some stage, but it is only a skin issue so it’s not too bit a deal.

There was a tiny one in Queensdale. I thought it was a ranger spirit and was ignoring it till it got aggro in the middle of a fight with a bunch of centaurs, wrapped me up in roots and nearly got me killed.

Yeah I was running past and saw that one. I thought I’d make the usual quick kill out of it but it seemed a bit tougher than usual. Maybe just me and not enough coffee though.

No, it’s not just a skin issue. The Veteran portion of the Daily Achievement was not satisfied by killing one.

I’m only going off what the developer who did it said…

Lol I was running in EB yesterday when suddenly I was rooted. My immiediate response was of course “OMG kittenED RANGER!” but then I realized there was only friendlies around. My next thought was “oh yeah the oakhearts” but there was no one near. I smash ed the root, looked to my right… and saw a puny little transparent oakheart looking lost and confused. I thought a ranger had just abandoned it there.

That’s fine, I just wanted to provide more information to the developer in case he didn’t realize the veteran status was affected.
