Guild Wars 2

I’ve noticed that the 24 hour guild buff has either been changed to real time 24 hour buff or is bugged I assume since there was no mention in the patch notes of this that maybe it was a bug.

This is really annoying as I play/farm on 20 chars and I know many people who use even more character then I, and running all of them daily to the guild hall to get the buff adds quite a bit of time.

If this change was made intentionally can I suggest adding the buff to the guild panel so people can grab from there anywhere in the world. If it is a bug can you please look into putting it back to the old system that food and util. items work on which is the clock only counts down while the character is in use.

One related side note when this change happened my characters started losing skills randomly from the heal/util slots between uses of the character. For example all of my guardians normally have Fragments of Faith on there bar when I log out of using them and for the last 2 days in a row when I log back in the slot the skill it’s normally in is empty. I’ve seen it happen on other professions as well such as necro with rise skill or ranger with we heal as one skill.

Actually I just went back to the character I grabbed it on an hour ago and noticed the countdown was where I left it an hour ago, so now it seems more likely that it’s just disappearing at reset each night. I can’t be certain as I’m not in-game at that time usually but regardless it is disappearing each morning I log back in somehow if someone from Anet can please look into it.
