Guild Wars 2

So, sadly I missed the cut scene on log in because normally I log in (Allow myself to load in because lately DR has been SUPER slow with that loading screen, I should quit logging out there) and WALK AWAY from the laptop to check on my toddler, make sure juice cups are full and he is engaged in the proper activity before doing daily junk before dinner time. Soooo…

One: Has anyone recorded this scene and posted it on youtube yet? I’d really like to see what I missed.

Two: Anet, could you maybe stop doing that? You know, the cut scenes on log in. Maybe add an object in the major cities that play/replay cut scenes for a few days or something?

Just a suggestion…

I actually didn’t get the cutscene on any of my chars. When I entered LA, it double loaded like it was going to give me a cutscene but loaded me in the entrance still (I entered from gendarran portal)

I got it while I was loading……. lol.

double load in on all characters… would LOVE to see the cutscene…. GG Anet.

I was not able to see the cutscene with any of my 15 characters.
When I loaded, nothing happened. Not even a double load. Nothing.

Then I looked for a replay NPC. Since all other cinematics had one. It’ll be silly if they didn’t add a replay NPC this time, Wouldn’kitten

No replay NPC anywhere to be found.

There wasn’t even a living story event on the right side or achievements, as it is for anything with rewards. Instead, there was just a mail.

Thank you for the reports, we are looking into fixing the cutscene for future players to view when they log in for the first time. For players who have already logged in, we are working on adding a replay option to one of the NPCs in Lion’s Arch. Please expect these changes sometime tomorrow, 3/19. I will update closer to fix release with exactly which NPC will have the cutscene replay.

thanks

Same thing happened to me. Didn’t get the cutscene.

Thank u yeh i tried logging in and than mapping because a friend said with him he got the cutscene while he was loading up somewhere else . Would be nice to still see it

To make matters worse….

I have been kicked out of the Dead End instance TWICE…
This is the THIRD time I will have to sit through half of that boring jawing…

I’m going to cry from frustration.

Ok this seems to come up every time there’s a cutscene…why would you not, at this stage, have a way for people to view it repeatedly already implemented with the patch? It seems like nothing has been learned through this whole LS process.

Just please, do not make it move your character to the zone entrance.

Well, obviously this has not been fixed, I logged in just 5 mins ago and no cutscene. In fact despite an update downloading first there doesn’t appear to be any new content at all.

There’s not been an update that resolves this yet, which is why it’s not been fixed.

Also, there isn’t exactly new content, this is the epilogue. You had your great big end battle last episode.

Well I kind of assumed since this was raised a few hours ago that it might have been fixed. I’ve only just downloaded the update now, I don’t get usually get a chance to download new updates until late evening (GMT) so it’s often the case that small issues have been raised and fixed before I download it for the first time.

As for the new content, I was going on the release notes and the many, many forum posts about the new content you say there isn’t LOL

Has anyone uploaded it to youtube? I assume it’s just the Breachmaker falling over.

I got the cut scene when I Wp’s to Archen Foreland Waypoint in Blacktide Coast (south entrance to LA)

I’ll give that a try

edit: it worked!! I got the cutscene by doing that Thanks Allisa!

Thanks for the update thou may i add PLEASE do a small alpha tests on patches some bugs like this are a real irritation. (and yes i know you probably do run them but maybe with not enough people for error chance/finding)

I never saw the cutscene, either.

I didn’t get to see it either, but I’m assuming it’s this one:

They’re doing all the testing they can afford, given what we pay them.

If anyone actually took the time to read a little bit, they’d realise ANET is already aware of this issue and that a fix is coming TOMORROW.

kitten , kitten happens. Deal with it as like an adult would.

Yeah, yeah, we know. Has nothing to do with our discussion about the problem itself.

I didn’t get that cutscene either. Was wondering how that breachmaker ended up in pieces…

A simple fix for this is to add an NPC that would trigger the cutscene manually. This way you could also replay the cutscene if you want to view it again.

NPC: “Did you see it? That kitten ed Breachmaker just exploded by itself!”
Player: “I was faraway. Tell me what you saw.” <cutscene plays>

Erm… Read the Anet employee response in this thread. That’s exactly what they’re doing, adding in a patch today.

Welp. I only read the first sentence. XD

Just chiming in for statistical purposes to say I didn’t get the cinematic on log-in either. Got the double load screen though, like I always have just before cutscenes. Also tried a different character. No luck. Tried WPing into LA and walking thru a portal. No luck. No luck.

Glad Anet is going to have a fix today. But the cutscene is kinda crucial to the story of the epilogue and it’s a shame I have to see it out of order. What I see littering the grounds of LA are unexplained until I see it.

If you didn’t see the cutscene, you’re not missing much. It’s just a 20 second cutscene showing the Breachmaker blowing up. Which is cool, I guess, but it’s not like you’re missing any key exposition or anything important.

Hell, it doesn’t even show why it blows up. Nothing explaining any sort of systems failure, or an airship swooping in to blast it out of the sky. Just boom.

I watched it on YouTube, it’s actually more disappointing than not seeing it at all.

Drill blows up. Sorry for the major spoilers. =/ That’s literally all that happens within 15 seconds.

Well, after you kill scarlet and see the cutscene, the drill is starting to fall apart around you after being hit by that leyline explosion thing

Allisa Wonderland’s tip worked for me, see above

In the mean time, does anyone know if this cinematic can be seen on youtube?

10 sec cutscene…

yay…

Autumn Frazee.3158:

Players can now talk to Laranthir of the Wild in the Grand Piazza in Lion’s Arch to view a replay of the cinematic.

Thank you, it’s awesome.

I said to myself during that last explosion.

That would be funny if it ended like this….then it did.

Not sure if its a bug, Laranthir is asking what happened & we get a 15 sec video. Seems like we should be getting a recap of the whole LS.

Thank you

Thank you. I didn’t get to see it either, and I watched it on YouTube. Again, thank you for the update.
