Guild Wars 2

Simple question. Can I do dungeons and get gold as usual or do I have to fear that all of that will be for naught because this patch has been the buggiest in the history of gw2?

I doubt it, the longer they wait the more damage a rollback will do.
At this point a rollback could do more harm than good.

They don’t roll back updates.

Too bad, because this is a mess.

The only thing about the patch that would have required a rollback would have been some people apparently getting HoM titles and achieves out of nowhere. And even that’s not really that big a deal, a few players get some extra titles and AP, wow.

But since they’re already aware of that bug and chose not to rollback at that point, I think the chances of it happening now are pretty much 0. Its now been 2 full days, waiting that long and then doing a rollback would be disastrous.

I don’t think a rollback is warranted or necessary, but I do think they should consider reverting the changes they made with Monday’s patch until they fix the guild chat issues.

As much as I like first person view, the new stability, etc, I would rather everyone be able to talk in guild chat.

BTW, I bought a game final—no way I should have to deal with “beta” in the vid options.

I havent logged in yet… whats happening???

You don’t have to. It’s optional.

If others want to, they can. This game isn’t just built around your desires.

Well, MegaServer was in ‘beta’ when first released. LFG was in ‘beta’ for a long time; not sure if it is out of beta, even now.

Streaming Client is in ‘beta’, so the new Camera changes aren’t blazing a trail.

I guess it is ArenaNet’s way of letting us know that changes are a possibility to such features. /shrug

It’s also relatively easy to fix – all you need to do is recalculate those awards again. The gw1 accounts those AP and titles come from weren’t affected, after all.

Jesus christ it’s not that bad. You’re proclaiming the world itself ended by what you hear on the forums. It wasn’t that bad and nothing needs to be done minus a few bug fixes.

The game was still mostly perfectly playable.

True. The main problem that might happen with that, however, is what if people acquired Achievement Chests from getting those achievements? With the loss of AP that would result from removing those achieves via recalculating AP based on current HoM points, they might drop below that reward threshold and be able to claim a second reward chest for that level in the future (and if you didn’t remove the AP then it’d be giving them a second chance at earning those legit and getting even more AP). And trying to remove those rewards from any chests that may have been given by the AP would be a tricky prospect considering some may have been used already.

What if they got a Zenith skin or Radiant / Hellfire skin and applied it to a weapon already? I’m not even sure if Anet has the ability to revert a weapon to a previous skin, much less if they’d actually be willing to.

And stuff like WvW blueprints, boosters, ect. may have already been used. Can’t very well time-travel and take those back.

I don’t agree with “mostly perfect” (but it is playable). Yes, there were quite a few issues (and still are) with this patch, but I seriously doubt a rollback is even a consideration at this point. I do agree that far too many players are using this less than perfect situation as a way to bang their anti-Anet drum even more loudly than they do every other day here…. Par for the course around here.
