Guild Wars 2

I ran my revenant through the Bloodtide Coast yesterday opening the map, getting xp and picking up skill challenges, however, there is one that seems bugged.

I remember doing the Deputy Crackshot of the Lionguard at Stormbluff Beacon challenge on my ranger. That was some time ago, but I remember distinctly seeing my shot hit the hillside so that I could adjust the cannon accordingly to hit a target.

Yesterday, I spent some time trying to get this done, but you could not see anything hit the hillside when you fired your cannon. I adjusted my cannon in order to see if I could hit any of the targets, but I was unable to target properly since I had no idea where my shot was actually hitting.

I could see other’s fire off their cannons and watch their shot hit the hillside, but did not see any hit a target. Do not know if they had issues with the targeting as I was, but a few kept trying different cannons, then left the area without succeeding.

What I remember from when my ranger did this challenge is not what I experienced yesterday at all. Not being able to adjust your cannon based upon where your shot hit the hill, makes it impossible to see if you are close to any target or overshooting it.

Apparently this skill challenge was broken before but I’ve not seen any commentary saying it has been fixed. https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/300ig8/horrible_bloodtide_coast_skill_challenge_bug/

I really would like a dev to take a look at this broken skill challenge. I know it was working back when I brought my main through here but my revenant can’t obtain it.

Just did challenge myself no issues found, can post screen if you’d like.

That’s ok…but I wonder why I can’t see my own shots hitting the mountain? I see others, but not mine.

Makes it hard to adjust if you can’t see where your shots are hitting to adjust for.

Have you tried doing a repair/reinstall?

yes…I’ve done all that and ended up redownloading the GW2.dat launcher …I had to change the name of the GW2.dat to GW2.old in order to fix things.

Really sucks when you have a good system and it gets borked up in game.
