Guild Wars 2

So on SBI we are running around and instantly getting killed. There’s nothing in the combat log, and there is no down state. I was in SM and a lot of people were talking about the lag and instantly getting killed when it happened to me.

Anyone ells seeing this?

Can confirm, dying instantly at random moments. I’ll be standing and them bam, dead.

Are you on SBI or another server?

this is making me want to go in and see if I can observe it from another side because that is really strange.

Happening on NSP too.

Similar experiences from NSP. Party member had a zerg disappear from his view and got killed by them with no combat log entries, they stayed visible to myself. He also had his trident stay equipped on land (and was visible to me as well), with no skill bar present until map change.

Personally, I took fall damage in the middle of green eb spawn, and then got teleported to CD BL along with the map commander.

Yea, we also had reports of a player being able to walk into enemy keeps, but could not see players. We invited him to our party and saw him on the map inside the keep.

I have not witnessed it personally, but I have seen complaints in map chat about it and that there’s nothing in the combat log.

Had someone on FA also die instantly and complain in mapchat about it. I told him he probably fell through the map and took fatal falling damage according to the server.

I confess…. I was bragging to Chuck Norris in L.A. about how i could fight within a zerg and not die.. To put me in my place .. He informed me that he could kill random people in WvW just by thinking about them. My Bad … I’ll refund your armour cost.

Don’t know if this information is helpful but it seemed to have stopped for a while which lead a few people to believe it might have been some type of hack, but that didn’t explain players being on ghost maps.

Happened to me earlier on my lowbie in EotM. Was running back from spawn and whammo. YB server, red side of EotM.

Its been happening in LA too on slight slopes :p

Given that fall damage is the one thing that can kill you instantly, I wonder if that “deadly stairs” bug may not have been totally fixed.

Someone needs to fix the carpet!

Plz fix but it was hilarious to have our driver 1 pushed by nothing. 5 people randomly died in raid today. I died at a door portal and my combat log said “Not enough health.”

Won’t anyone think of the children!? The deadly stairs have come back to get it’s bloody insta splattery revenge! Arenanet thought they could cleanse Tyria of evil stairs but the stairs could not be defeated!

That is a pretty old bug it has been around before the falling damage stair bug had been fixed – We had that too on Gunnars Hold, 3 months ago (I think) was when 3 of us were insta killed and had nothing in our combat log. But it happens more often – I just don’t really pay attention to it.

It’s like Sims Pool Ladder.

People are drowning in content.

Jk.

This has been going over a year and a.net did nothing about it.

You have damage in your combat log, we had none – we were insta killed and had no idea why.

Almost all of my guildies were hit with this tonight. It was so bizarre that we just ran with it and eventually started inviting anyone we could find around, including opponents to show them this weird bug. If this happened to five of us totally at random within a few hours, and two of us eventually went back and purposefully recreated the glitch, this can’t be ignored. Not to mention that if certain parts of the glitch behave in a specific way, there’s potential for enormous exploits.
WvW gets neglected so much, but this is just stunning.

Hey all,

Thanks for these reports. The team is working on a correction for this issue. We don’t have a timeframe for this just now, but it is actively being reviewed and worked on.

A rogue Mort, Gaile?

This is happening on Maguuma right now. Random people stop seeing the siege like cannons, oil, mortar, then the skillbar disappears, then you are instantly killed while standing still. Nothing in log. Ballistas nowhere to hit you from. It’s as though someone is going into your character and executing a death command. (In LPC this was the shrink command, followed by blick. It's all too familiar.)

I’d also like to add that I am randomly seeing enemy locations on the mini-map after way-pointing to a keep. This started since yesterday.

This has been happening in my server for the last two days. Dying everywhere, in spawn, in keep, on fields….no combat log or anything.
Coupled with the weird weapon lag (jump in water, and it takes 5-8 secs to get our water weapon skills), the strange bug where half of us become invisible to everyone, and everyone is invisible to us unless in party, and weapon skills turned off, and we’re invincible, and a really fun tight race is turning into pvd party, because you can’t do anything about the small group taking your keep when you can’t even leave spawn without dying/going into a weird langolier world.

*redacted because the minute I posted a bunch of daft rangers ran to our area.

Fatal falling damage due to some client-server desynch. Like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIIxDfQsJlE

Notice also in the video that the built oil and keep lord info in the upper right hand corner disappears as the game lost track of player position.

Seems to happen most often in the EB map for the FA/YB/SoS match, which is being reported by my servermates as really laggy.

Someone noticed last night in TS that the lag goes away when siege is killed!

On Isle of Janthir, can confirm at least one guildie had this problem. Also starting around 9pm server time we are hit with sudden massive lag on all maps(mapchat complaining about it too), the worst lag happening in eb. It is strange because when I go back to pve or Obsidian Sanctum the game is fine.

happened in CD-NSP-DH match up as well last night in DHBL. my guildies kept dying randomly, and few experienced being teleported back to spawn. 1 was even able to use underwater weapon and have shark as pet, both on land.

i myself experienced the endless drop from the sky.

the end in near. we are doomed…..

Just a heads up, it isn’t happening only in WvW anymore. I went to Sparkfly today around 9 p.m. server time and the same bugs were happening there, lots of people reporting in map chat.

The list of complaints: aquatic weapons being wield in land, massive lag spikes, no skill response, creatures teleporting, sudden deaths to no apparent reason, interact key (F) not responding and at some point someone related they started a combat against kraits, their screen froze for a few seconds then all kraits were dead when it normalized; disconnects from instance then taking twice the time to load the map.

Funny thing is that I was in WvW before went to Sparkfly and didn’t experienced nothing of that.. and there died while jumping on a rock.

Fireheart Rise had the bug a few days ago, too. I was gathering before the wvw reset, all the gathering nodes on the mini-map and in sight range vanished, and I was randomly teleported to the SE corner of the map in an infinite fall animation. While I was typing up an in-game bug report about it, another person was teleported there as well.

Happened to me yesterday in Sparkfly. Was finishing up map completion for an alt when all of a sudden it was like an empty map. All highlightable things disappear, and I’m just running though scenery. Then after about 30 seconds to a minute of that whammo.

getting it on nsp/mag/sbi again. couple times just while wandering, couple where all enemies/npcs will disappear a moment before instakill. had npcs disappear and insta kill at eb spawn while i was trying to merch.

much fun.

I had it the other day too. Seemed laggy for a few secs and then dead. I was running on grass toward south camp in someone’s bl and nobody was around me.

Green BL in T1 NA is broken and has been for days now. It is impossible to play on it. How can you expect us to pay for a high priced expansion when you can;t get the base game to work.

I don’t know if it is related but I experienced some of the weirdest kitten ever in WvW yesterday.

I was minding my own roaming business as usual and was making my way to Speldan with my FGS to resupply myself and finish the cata I dropped behind AP when, half-way between AP and Speldan, I suddenly teleported over Speldan at seemingly hundred of meters in the air… and then I fell to my death…

kitten!!!

But there are no programming errors or database mistakes being made by this program.

Right.

Right.

Every single program, unless it literally just has a beginning and end, actually even then…. because I crashed a computer with literally just that, but every program can and WILL have bugs if it does more than say “Hello World” basically. You keep talking about ‘database mistakes’ but for one, you don’t know because you don’t work for Anet, and again, every program has bugs. It’s inevitable.

I definitely agree there are a lot, but again that’s inevitable, especially in an MMO. Part of the time the bugs are the fun part even when you die. Other times they are beyond annoying. Some are harmless and some… like this.

Yeah green bl t1 had a few guildies eat what I saw was a 664,000 insta kill…one died attempting to text me outside inner bay centre gate the other was on the west side of outer garri.

I dont normally chime in and I think this is the first time I ever made a post on official forums but I can corroborate this. I am also on SBI. Esponda [DC] if you know me. I was on guarding bay on a boarderland when i stepped into a single red circle then full hp to dead. I checked my log and I got hit with like 10 vampiric necro leeches for 25 hp and thats it. No downed state.
