Guild Wars 2

I’ve noticed several times that bits or batches of combat data go missing from the chat box combat log.

For example, just before this post, I jumped back into Brisban Wildlands (after spending some time crafting in WvW), killed a few breeze riders, then a few raptors, then a few spiders, just before taking on and completing the Koga Ruins skill point, then running up to tag the nearby vista (killing another spider and few cave bats on the way).

Looking at the combat log, I see several lines about items being crafted and received into inventory followed by combat data vs the spider and the cave bats, but nothing about all the other combat that took place since entering BW. A ton of earlier data (map chatter, buying stuff from vendors, and a warning about being booted if I didn’t resume active play) while I was in WvW was still there up to the top.

It’s as if the combat log has a separate buffer and it scrolls off separately. However, several days ago I was looking at my chat box to see what sort of damage another skill challenge NPC was doing to me, and noticed a few entries saying I did some good damage with a skill called Escape. At the time I had no idea what that was (not the underwater skill), so I jotted down the damage from each entry and emailed the info to a guildie to see if they knew what “Escape” was referring to. Before he replied I thought to scan back further to see if there were any other entries for that Escape skill, and when I looked—and this is without any further combat occuring since the last perusal—every single entry for damage done by Escape was missing, though all (presumably) the other damage lines were still there. I scanned over and over again since I KNEW what I saw, but no dice. They were missing.

I also had an issue with combat logs a few days ago but of a different issue perhaps..
I just logged on that day on a low level map (I’m a level 80 guard) when I noticed an event going on to take down some champ boss. I joined the event but was instantly downed with his ‘super’ attack. Caught me by surprised since I’m specd and traited for vit/tough with exotic gear (sup rune of the soldier).
I had 1300+ health (low level map) and so when I checked my logs to see how much damage I took, I was shocked to find out I was only hit for 650+ damage for his ‘super’ and another line saying I was hit for 70+ damage but of a different attack. I know I had full health and my logs were fresh.

Wondering if this is an issue that my logs just didn’t register an obvious attack OR some bug that just downed me OR if when champs hit you for half your health you are instantly downed(hope not).

I also like to know more people are having combat log issues.
