Yesterday me and my mates looked forward to do all 3 paths of CoF, but the event to open the gates had bugged leaving the entrance blocked.
In the same area I came across a bugged SP, on other areas more bugged events and SP’s

The hotfix for this (I think) is that you guys do a daily server reset at a fixed time since that usually solves most if not all bugged events/sp… until it bugs again. And a fixed time is important because it’s not fun being 5 mins from last boss in a dungeon and see “server restart in 3min”.

Look at eve online for example, they have maintenance every day, same time and that game runs without a problem much because of it.

Untill you can figure out what bugs with these events and SP’s maybe you could try this, atleast then we would know that if it happens we can play it the next day.

The server I am on is Desolation (EU) and bugged SP’s only work for some hours after a patch.
Loving the game, but would like to be able to play it without so much problems.

Have a nice day!

Up until a couple of weeks ago, the servers were rebooted without fail every day at midnight Pacific/3 am Eastern/8 am Greenwich. I don’t know what changed this policy, but since ANet went to weekly instead of daily updates, we’ve obviously seen these problems with bugged events and skill challenges multiplying. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; daily server resets need to be re-instituted ASAP. That won’t solve every bug issue with the game but it’ll solve many issues with events that are breaking down because the computers have been left running too long.
