Guild Wars 2

Enter map – bugged and doesn’t heal you.
Exit map

Enter another map – last song, forced to play upper, impossible fast notes … fail
Exit map

Rinse, repeat for 30mins then rage quit.

Please fix this event and make it doable.

1. The bug is annoying, yes, but instead of leaving the map, just press “0” to exit the current song, then rejoin before the next song. That usually fixes it.

2. If it’s the last song, just wait through the free play period till the next round starts. Go check the TP or alt-tab while you’re waiting.

Ok, some more specific details on the bugs…

Bell Choire Ensemble – Sometimes when you enter, the notes do not heal you even when played correctly. Furthermore, if you somehow survive the song and are still playing, you get no score or reward for it because it didn’t register your notes. You are forced to exit the map and try again.

Double Loading Screen – If you walk through the portal to enter the instance, when you leave you are ported back inside immediately.

Unable to Click/Chose Low/Mid/Up – When you are trying to join a song, if there are other players, when someone selects a part, the window disappears making it difficult to read and select what you want.

I suck at Guitar Hero, yet was able to complete the achievements with little effort in 4-5 full playthroughs. No bugs encountered, either.

I think we should never be sent to ending matches, not only on Bell Choir, but also Winter’s Wonderland. That jumping puzzle takes about 2 and a half minutes to complete, so it makes no sense at all that one spends over 10 minutes (which feels like alot more) just trying to get to a match with at least 5 minutes.

Jump puzzle takes about 1:40~ to complete and you have 10-15s after the match is over to finish and loot chest.

As for Bells. Leaving and rejoining the song can fix the instant bug issue. Never use portals to enter Wintersday festival instances, use the NPC next to the portal this way you never get double teleported inside after leaving.
I’ve sat a few really PC game illiterate friends down and tried bells since the festival started and not one of them wasn’t able to complete a song, perhaps a few tries to work out what was going on.

Most of the people complaining about this want instant gratification and not actually sit and try it a bit to get the hang of it.
I can understand if you have a 2 fps pc and a terrible network speed. But if not, and you’re not capable of doing this I’m not quite sure how you’re able to tackle the more engaging elements of the game you’re playing.

As Zaxares said, you don’t need to exit the map. Just use the skill that’s where your elite skill usually it. It takes you off the stage but you still stay in the map. Join the next song, no more bug.

Double Loading Screen – If you walk through the portal to enter the instance, when you leave you are ported back inside immediately.

Talk to the NPC next to the portal instead of using the portal.

(note, I’m not excusing any bugs, but giving advice regarding how to work around them.)

4-5 times gets it done? man i wish my internet didnt have such random delays. 176 notes right and counting…

The only thing that really bugs me is the fact that you will be ported to a map that is either at its last song or in the free to play period…

and I hate it when I can’t play upper… (lower and middle have the number 6 note way too often, and if you have a natural keyboard, the number six is a left hand key)

I am SICK and TIRED of wasting 30-40mins on thids every day because of bugged map after bugged map. Then you finally get into one that isn’t bugged and it’s part-weay through with all the difficult songs, and ends.

Then you begin the process all over again with bugged map after bugged map!!!

Just REMOVE this and the impossible jumping puzzle from the daily requirement!! Seriously.

Yesterday took me 30mins because of the bugs and failing at the hard songs that did work.

Today took 25mins because of the bugs and I had 1 map out of 13 that worked, and that was a hard song, so failed it.

I do eventually complete it in the end, by just trying over and over to get a working map with starting songs. But having to waste 30mins a day on one single achi is rediculous!!

Have a handful of accounts to do it on Luckily, the bug hit’s sporadically and when I get a good connection/set/instance/whatever it keeps working for a while. Though I will say a few days ago it was really lagged out badly.

I recorded the bug the other day incase theres people that havn’t encountered it yet.
The previous round bugged for me hence the 100 points.
Although there is the bug 99% of the time going into the bell ensemble, its usually gone after free play or as others suggested pressing 0 then trying the next round
