Guild Wars 2

is it just me or has anybody else had this little puzzling issue ,
i do my ore and wood runs around my places where i get orichcalum and ancient wood , once a day to stock my bank up incase i need it at a later date , but i do them on all 4 of my chars , so i build up a nice little stash , but recently i have noticed something bizzare , i log on 1 char and do my run around and then i log on my other char and find out all the ores and woods are not in the same place as my last char whos just done it , so i have to go re explore again to refind them , on the same map i was on a few mins earlier on another char lol , and its weird cos i do this every night with all my chars , so theres no real time gap that might confuse my chars , but this is weird lol, last week this issue had never happened till now lol

Are you doing it at resets?

i am after resets , and most times hours after reset , not straight after lol

You were guesting, in an overflow or gathered in between the recent patches. Node locations only change when a zone is initialized.

thats what crossed my mind , but i normally do them at different times each day , and i normally do 1 char straight after another , and i have never done guesting lol

There is speculations going around that maps “deactivate” when there are no players any players on the map.
Is there any chance you’re doing your run on a dying server and/or low usage map?

nope im on gunners hold , and my maps i run are cursed shore malchors leap , frostgorge and southsun cove

This is definitely the case, I do a daily run in fields of ruin for wood and ore and the locations are different every single day. I know this because I thought I was going mad so I marked the map of one node and then logged out on the char at a second. Next day no nodes anywhere near where I logged out and marked, moved my char and the mark again – next day same deal.

Anet have definitely changed something about the way nodes are remembered, recalled on their servers.

its weird some weeks or even days they are always the same as the day b4 , and maybe once a week , it may change , which isnt a bad thing cos it just means u have to re explore , but its just plain weird how it does it on ur different chars , when u do the run a few mins b4 lol , it might just be something arenanet do to stump us lol

Although, I haven’t seen any recently, maybe ArenaNet is changing the locations to discourage bots. Maybe, a kind of prophylactic design implementation, in case botters were thinking of trying again. /shrug
