Guild Wars 2

We’re going to need a list of these bugs that were fixed.

(not asking about exploits, just the bugs)

why do we need a list? They fixed bugs. That’s what they’re supposed to do. Good enough for me.

So we know if a certain rune set works now, so we know if a skill is working, so we know if a trait is working, so we know we can go back to that map and complete it, so we know a certain recipe will produce the right item before we craft it….

ANET should tell us about bug fixes, so we know that it’s safe to go back to something we stopped doing because of bugs.
ANET shouldn’t tell us which exploits are fixed. That way any exploiters will waste time trying the closed exploit before moving on to the next one.

The area between the two is very murky.

The issue with that is their loose definition of exploit. Anything you do in the game OTHER than buy gems with cash is considered an exploit by some blowhard on the forums. So yes, some of us want to know which exploit they fixed.

I’m sure a more detailed post about what exactly was fixed/changed will be released soon. Be patient.

um, demon summoning sigils don’t reset after they’ve summoned the fleshreaver.

i doubt that. and i also think they only threw “bugs” in there to make it sound better, not because they actually fixed any bugs (that weren’t involved in an exploit).
i’m glad they’re fixing things, though.

do you mean they did that before this patch/fix or they’re doing it now?

I don’t even know what they fixed?
This is awesome. It’s like renting a car, and it was rough around the edges, maybe it made a lot of noise and braking a bit iffy so I take it slow, I did email them about the problems I’m having but hardly any reply to acknowledge them then I return it to the garage for the regular 3 hour maintenance.

Next day, I wanted take it out for a spin, but before handing me the key, the mechanic says ‘The car’s fixed. A lot of problems are fixed, sir!’

I asked him, ’What’s the fix, my good man?’

‘Just take a ride and find out!’ he smiled as he hand me the keys.

So, should I step on the accelerator and try a tight turn with this ‘fixed car’?
Should I be wary of rainy weathers, whether the brakes actually work or not?

As I slot in the key and got the engine running, he knocked on my car window…
I lowered it.

“Would you like to buy some gems, sir?”

I drove off.

not smurky in the slightest, it’s honest to tell us what will and will not work.

we’re not asking for much. Some of us would like to know if loot is retored, if it’s okay to log back into our broken class, if it’s good to start farming items again to gear our alts.

as customers we have a right to know. if they want to alienate their players more be more secretive then they already are. it’s not a crime to want to know the specifics on a product we purchased.

Exactly! couldn’t have said it better.

You were saying?

“to fix several exploits and bugs”

All I hear in my head when I read that sentence is, we nerfed something into the ground, whether it be a farming spot or drop rate on items. And they don’t actually tell you what they did so it just further solidifies it in my mind.

I feel exactly the same way, guess it would be fair for someone from the staff to specify what has been changed, in order to avoid suspicions.

They don’t want to put up bug notes, cus they don’t want to be quoted as failing to deliver if the bug persists, or they fixed low priority (in the eyes of consumers) bugs.

The issue is, of course, that there are bugs that keep people from playing a class for example. Mesmers have horribly bugged skill sets. I am sure some people would like to play a Mesmer but are waiting for the bugs to be fixed to at least some extent.

You only know that it’s fixed when someone tells you it’s fixed. So yeh, if I were still playing I would want to know which bugs were fixed.

Hello everyone,

Every time a change is made to the game, a patch-note is published in the News & Announcements sub-forum, both for new features/contents or bugs fixes.

However, you may experience some minor client update, when we perform simple database maintenance, but nothing is changed to the game without notifying you in the appropriate sub-forum.

Thank you.
