Guild Wars 2

It is nice to see that HoM is apparently now fixed.
It is however not nice to see, that you broke a whole bunch of other stuff doing so, and that is something i am not happy about.
Several dozens of achievements i have unlocked are now not unlocked anymore.
This Ranges from Collections to even the new Jumping Puzzle Achievement i did weeks ago when Lions Arch was first reworked.
Also, all the Living Story 2 Chapters i had previously unlocked have been taken away from me, and now you are suggesting i buy them for 200 Gems each.
For some odd reason, i also have to click through all of the training stuff AGAIN, and i am not even sure if you gave me the Hero Points back required to do that.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue or has anything else to add to the list?

• Living Story Season 2 chapters locked.
• All collections reset.
• Dry Top & The Silverwastes achievement categories reset
• Living Story Season 2 achievements reset & locked (presumably because the chapters are locked too)
• Training tab shows untrained skill despite being unlocked and accessible.
• Mail carriers that i have unlocked are locked now.

To be fair, this patch wasn’t centered around the HoM fix. It just happened to be included.

Only for the first character you logged into with the new patch, the others are fine.

I found another one: PVP reward track progress reset.

WTF Anet?

Just ….

Should I like.. not log in? ;x

It probably doesn’t matter, but I’d still say no just in case.

Fair enough. Though i have no idea how one manages to let a clusterkitten like this slip onto Live Servers. Being a Developer myself and all…

But an issue like this just makes me want to turn off the game instead of playing this mess, not even knowing if they will just rollback my progress later to clean up their mess.

It’s only on the character you log in with first. Your alts will be fine. and you will not have lost anything. But yeah, I wish I had my brown pants on.

I can’t even get to the log-in screen. Got a 6MB update and now it just crashes on launcher updating screen.

Actually, HoM is still broken

it has broken on more than one of my characters, but is fine on others, so this isn’t completely true

Only the first character you log into appears to have this issue.

BrotherBelial.3094:

So just to be clear, if I log in with one toon, then switch to another toon and/or switch back to the first toon, everything will still be there? Or is everything going to be blank on the first toon from now on?

For me, everything is locked out on the first toon I logged in on. The other 2 I checked on are fine. So I’m assuming the rest are ok too.

Daily broken, graphic performance decreased for me

Lol… well that figures

The HoM is still disabled for me. Suggestions?

not true. i have it on all the characters i have logged in with so far.

The first 3 I logged into are broken (and still broken whether I completely log in/our or just character select). 4th works fine. I can’t be kitten d to check more ;o

I’m sure they’ll do a rollback. Don’t panic, Mr Manwairing.

I’d pay real money to see what kind of automatic testing workflow/software is used for GW2.

I thought some weird stuff was going on after the patch. I only noticed that my trait training has been reset and somehow i cant even re-train them if i wanted to. Reading the stuff here though, I can see it’s far worse than I know.

Here’s a hoping ANet will remedy this REAL soon.

Sucks to be you guys I guess. I’m just going to go right ahead and count my self lucky.

But a question, have the one’s you checked started LS2? I’ve only got 2 that’s I’ve done LS2 with.

Edit: yeah if you’ve started or completed LS2 you are effected.

Welp, guess I’m not playing for a while.

people acting like Anet won’t fix it, LOL, newbs

okay guys. apparently this is only a display bug on some characters. i got the issue on my thief and my warrior, but my guardian is perfectly fine. That would also explain why you cant retrain the skills and traits, since you already got them. it just shows you you dont…

I dont even know how you manage to break the display selectively for certain characters. I am impressed A-net.

Headcase.4618:

Pretty much this for me, too. Given how long it took them to fix the HoM problems, I think this is going to call for a massive rollback. No point in playing and messing up my account, especially if anything I gain is going to be lost in the attempt to fix this.

I wasn’t even affected by the HoM bug, and I got all my collections reset. Thanks, anet. Quality QA. All of my completed pvp tracks are cleared, thanks for that, I wanted to keep those completed after I was inished them with. The glorious reward track, which I was working on, I lost all my completion on that. I DID lost all the completion on the ascalon reward track, which I was also working on. ALL the dungeons I HAD unlocked are now locked. THis is completely worthless.

ETA:

Okay, it took 4 alts, but all of my displays are back to normal, at least on ONE alt. NOT my main, or who knows what others.

Looks like it’s fixed now!

Someone at Anet just had the last day at work and is now packing his stuff and will never return!

Edit: Now it worked! I logged into my GW1 account and then back into GW2 and woot!

oh boy… I would take you up on that, seeing how often this happens.

So, after reading the patch notes, I was planning to say a big “thank you” for fixing the whole HoM/achievement/title thing.

However, now that I made the mistake and actually dared to log into the game, I couldn’t help to notice that you broke pretty much anything that can be broken: My daily got reset, pvp track got reset, LS2 is locked, tons of previously completed achievements aren’t completed anymore, all collections reset, etc.

Guess I’ll wait with the praise for a bit longer…

2/3 of the characters I logged in have been “reset” but it appears to be only visually? While dailies are “reset” and appear not done doing the stuff to progress them doesn’t work. Likewise I tested to see if you could “re-do” the collections on a character that appears to have it all locked and I bought one of the Frogs in a Jar. Right clicking on the frog in the jar crashed the game. I happened to have one of the wintersday unlock items and you can’t consume those either (as you really have it done so you can’t re-do it).

It’s all sorts of weird. When I get home I’ll see if my main is bugged too (I hope not) but hopefully they figure out the fix soon, it’s unnerving to have all of my progress reset when I’ve worked to complete all of those achievements.

Some of you guys complain too much. So the HoM is down, so what? It’s not like it offered items to us that should we not have them it stops our gameplay.

Stop complaining so much people. So far it purely looks like a display bug. I still got my Karmic converter, even though ap is now reset. I still got all my traits (my water skills are -33% cd still on ele), so this means traits exist still, are unlocked still, they are just not shown. You can even play just like normal, like yesterday. Only diff thing is the display of unlocked things. Pretty small to fix don’t you think? And the npc/pets in Hall of monuments will soon be fixed i’m sure too. They kept saying for months now complex an update like this could be and how much coding errors it could cause. It did, but in my opinion, a visual only bug, means Anet so far did great job. Bug will always happen and this is just an example of that. You can’t stop bugs from happening/slipping through testing. It’s the nature of the beast. You can change however by fixing it, wich they will.

So what is the problem? Don’t see it. Soon both HoM owners, not owners will be happy and play on.

It only affects lvl 80’ from what I can gather. I logged in on my lvl 41 and it remained unaffected. But my lvl 80 is affected by the bug.

On a nicer note, you can now see the emblem of the guild your representing in the background. If you go to the guild member list.

Didn’t you check? This is why people complain about anet’s QA, gaile. Stuff like this, that should’ve been found. Now you have people in LA panicking about their achievements, and traits, and stuff. You need to do an announcement in game about this, NOT just on the forums.

To all the arrogant comments here:

Dont act so rude if you never have tried to code a game. Implanting something have a big chance of breaking something else, so just stop and give Anet break :/

All the characters I logged in on yesterday have this issue, but not any of my other characters that I’ve checked.

As others have seemed to notice too, it appears to primarily be a UI bug for training, story, collections, daily achieves, assume a few other things too. Although a few players have other issues like losing legitimate access to HoM so some things are more serious. It may extend beyond just those, but primarily we need to make sure Anet is aware so they can fix it, which giving info here and /bug reports does. I’m sure they are by now (well i’d hope?).

Maybe they were too busy last week dealing with the massive Golem Rush exploit to properly test this update?

In that case, pushing the update back a week would have been the more sensible decision to go for instead of a rushing release. Premature Release is never a good thing.

Um, they didn’t deal with the exploit at all. Not even an acknowledgement of it.

If its not acknowledged as such, its a feature, i guess.

It took them weeks/months for this update. Coding somethign like this is very complex, be happy you didn’t truly loose ap, you didn’t truly loose traits, now that would be bad, their testing prevented this. The only thing (wich is rather small, all things considered), that still bugged was visual representation. A rather small bug, relative easy to fix. Also very random bug (wich is why it’s not tested cause some chars have it, others not).

You do not know anything about how their setup is. Do not be an kitten just because you are a developer. I am as well and I understand things happen on live servers that never once show up in any test environment. Almost makes me wonder what you develop to not encounter this. Also your blatant disrespect for them really makes me wonder what you develop because any good developer knows when stuff goes wrong it sucks. And it makes it even worse well people come running and screaming you broke it you broke it.

I don’t know if it’s easy to fix, but you’re right that the impact of a display issue is way less of a problem. I don’t get all the negativity.
