Guild Wars 2

Here are issues the team is aware of in the Closed Beta Test for Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns:

• During the story mission, if players kill the Overseer and/or prison guard and the Story UI text does not update with a new objective, players need to search the area for remaining enemies and defeat them. Once that happens, you should get a new objective displayed. If you encounter this issue, you may see the following greyed out text: “Climb the stairs and search the area” or “Defeat the prison guards.”

We’re aware that there is an issue with the scaling in the battle of the Silverwastes at the very start of the beta experience. Testers found an issue in the beta content, but you can still participate.

To help workaround this issue, we suggest that you:

• Try and wait for others and go in as a group.
• Use the torch on the wall to call in air strikes to cull the size of the Mordrem horde.
• Ignore the mobs and resurrect Lightbringer Osa. As long as she’s alive, the timer will keep counting down to succeed this event.
• In this mission, you have the ability to instantly res over and over at your current location, so use this to your advantage.

This issue will be fixed in the second two beta testing windows, but for the first, 2-hour window, unfortunately we won’t be able to resolve this.
