Guild Wars 2

hi guys!

Yesterday when I played alongside my friend (we played in a PvE-map because he hates any form of PvP) he noticed that I occasionally gathered some mining nodes 2 or even 3 times. He told me that he haven’t had this experience yet. Although he goes for almost each and every single node he couldn’t gather something twice at all. He is currently lv.68.

When I told him of the chance of 15% gathering success he had no clue what I was talking about. I mentioned the mouse-over info of all the WvW bonuses… he has no such thing. When he “mouse-overs” the WvW button the only thing he can see is: “World vs. World [B]” (the same thing I see only when a battle is reset).

can anyone help, please?

Did you friend transfer servers recently?

There is a 2-week (or match?) down-time before you will begin receiving WvW buffs after transferring server. Though some people are reporting that this is bugged, and they never get their buffs at all.

No he didn’t transfer servers.

:-/

was he in the overflow?

no we were next to each other in a zone (lv.60-70). I could see the mouse-over bonuses, he couldn’t. I don’t believe that it’s a display error since he has never experienced a “double gathering” on any of the wood/ore/herb nodes.

if there is no answer for this, should he write a support-ticket or should he simply do a bug-report ingame? I guess on the later he won’t get direct help?! I’m sorry for him since he misses tons of ressources :-/

edit: for further clarification: I’m not sure if my friend was in WvW during the last matchup. Do you have to participate in WvW in order to get the bonuses? Do you have to get at least one event done in WvW? He accompanied me a month ago once but never came back to WvW after that. Most of my friends won’t even try WvW because they hated any form of PvP in other games.

posted the same in other forums, there are more people with this problem.

with bonuses the tooltip should look like this:

ANet hasn’t gotten around to address the issue still

Thank you for pointing this out, I also commented in the bug thread. I had no idea I wasn’t receiving any bonuses, but just confirmed it by calculating my HP. I too didn’t know you could hit a resource node more than once.

I have never transferred, this is absurd. I shudder to think how much gold/items/exp have I missed out on in my 400+ hours played, or how many times I’ve died when I shouldn’t have!
