Guild Wars 2

As it said it in the title. What’s up?

arah’s already unlocked.

No, it’s part of the rotation this week. I can read, thanks.

arah is the current dungeon reward track in rotation for this week.

does this mean, if i do the story mode for cof, i can choose to progress in the cof reward track, and do not need to wait for it to be in the weekly rotation?

That’s how it’s supposed to work, yes. However, I just finished Arah story and it still indicates that it will expire at the end of this rotation and to unlock it I must complete story mode…

Just finished TA story mode and that one unlocked with a pop-up on the side and no more timer on the PVP reward track. Arah definitely bugged.

nice pvp topic, farming arah

The same for me → I did Ascalon Catacombs story and that “track unlocked!” icon appeared after I finished it. However, after finishing Arah story, no such icon appeared and the timer on PvP tracks is still there, so I presume it did not unlock for me neither :-(

Details…screenshots.

Arenanet will have a much easier time at reproducing an issue if you can include details of exactly what you did with screenshots to illustrate things like the UI still showing the duration timer for the Arah line.

Same here. Sorry didn’t realize I made a duplicate thread, but the same thing happened to me. I did Arah SM last night, but since it is in the rotation I think the game thinks it is already unlocked so no credit towards permanent was given.

Hopefully I don’t have to run it a third time -.-

Same here.

I did CoF Story Mode some time this morning, followed by a quick path 1 run. CoF unlocked the progression path just fine.

This afternoon I also did Story Mode Arah and at the end it did not unlock anything. Not sure what the issue is, but maybe it’s somehow tied to just being rewarded once for each dungeon? Idk…

On a similar note, when I first entered the Mist my PvP locker started unlocking the skins. However I jumped into an sPvP match before it had finished which halted the process. Are my sPvP skins all unlocked or did it somehow stop prematurely?

I’m guessing the issue is simple. When you do story mode it checks your pvp table and sees if x dungeon is unlocked. If it isn’t then set the flag to unlocked! If it is unlocked then do nothing. Problem arises with the rotation because for a temporary time the Arah will show as unlocked because it is for 2 weeks.

Just my guess at what the issue is related to. But without seeing the code your guess is as good as mine

you just need to unlock all the reward tracks for all the people who did dungeons (story modes) before the 1/28/1013 patch and refused to do another dungeon after that (including anything for pvp), because it doesn’t seem quite fair to have most of the dungeon awards from before that patch and yet not be able to unlock any of these until the free turn rolls around.

bad decisions if you want my 2 cents.

Did all 8 story dungeons yesterday, all unlocked except Arah story did not have the unlock popup.

I have no problems with unlocks (though I haven’t done Arah yet), but I have another problem: for some reason my paths stopped progressing, at least on non-ranked servers, no matter what path or char I use.
Is there some kind of day limit or is it a bug?

I agree. PvP-ers get the wardrobe. PvE-ers get the reward paths unlocked. Seems fair to me.

Limit for you hotjoin heroes is 25% per day.

Did every dungeon right after the patch. Only the Arah track still shows the timer, all the others unlocked just fine.

I also had this same issue. Please fix if possible and post if we need to do it again.

You shouldn’t be so arrogant with 100 tourneys, bro.
Anyway, 25% of what? Does it works only for unranked or for queues too? Where I can read about that?

Is this bug affecting only Arah, or people who have done the other story modes before patch have to do them again to actually unlock the tracks?

Well, bro.
I dont see how my tournament amount would be of any importance to you, altho seeing as you brought it up.. your number is off by roughly 600.

As for the actual cap I’ll quote Anet and while I’m on it, I’ll also correct myself, it is not 25% a day in hotjoin, it is 2 tiers.

Hey guys,

As some of you have noticed, reward tracks are capped at TWO TIERS a day if you are playing in custom arenas. This is intended to prevent botting in custom arenas. There is NO LIMIT to how much progress you can make on reward tracks if you are playing in solo or team arena. Just wanted to clear this up!

just did arah story thing too and not unlocked – i have to write ticket?

oh nice thread iwas about to QQ bout the same thing coz i did arah story mode lat night glad its a known bug not just me.

Same here, I did Arah story after the update and I didn’t get the unlock message pop up… I do hope I don’t have to do it yet again.

how long is arah story mode?

time of your life you will never reclaim…

This just happened to me too.

Please tell me that when this gets fixed, those of us that already did it will get it unlocked. It took more than an hour, and I don’t think I can handle having to do it again…

So according to the latest patch notes this has been fixed but it seems that the path is still locked for me, or at least it shows the time limit. If we did this before the fix are we going to have to run that horrid story path again? The whole path isn’t bad but there are a bunch of parts where you just wait around and everyone knows the final boss fight could use some tweaking.

I’m pretty much 100% certain that you need to do it again.

Arah is one of the longer ones, it’s also the final step on the personal story, so if you have a character anywhere near that you might want to get him to that final step first.

It probably takes 30-60 minutes.

I get to do it yet again? Hurray! …

So, it is still broken and those of us who recently completed the story will have to do it again?

Im’a wait until it is confirmed fix before I challenge Zhaitan again

Anybody tried this since the fix?

Yeah, I completed all the dungeon story modes on this character a year ago but do not have any of the dungeon reward tracks permanently unlocked. I’m assuming this is buggsville.

You need to compete them after the patch.
