Guild Wars 2

I was in my guild hall, I clicked leave guild hall to go run a story with my guild and as soon as I loaded back into Divinity Reach I had a pop up stating that the first HoT story is now available.

I am currently on story #10 (this still shows where I am story wise). However, the BIG ISSUE is that everything in the HoT maps is reset on my main character which I use in HoT. I had roughly 70% map completion on all 4 maps now all show 0%. I had to use a teleport to party member item to bypass running through silverwastes or exiting from our guild hall.

The same thing happened to another member of our guild but not the other 2 who were online at the same time. Both of us who were affected by this were in the guild hall then we left when it all started.

JUST HAPPENED TO ME, TOO.

I was redoing the “Torn From The Sky” mission for achievements. I exited a mission, and when trying to re-enter, I was kicked to Lion’s Arch.

All my waypoints, PoIs, and vistas in the new maps were reset. Mastery points and Hero Challenges remain completed (I just can’t see them, as the maps are fogged out).

Wasn’t anywhere near the Guild Hall when it happened.

Me too. Lost ALL my map exploration in HoT maps after I logged into a faulty Mount Maelstrom map.

Hope this gets fixed soon

Happened to me too. Ported to Sparkfly Fen and the game went into pre-HoT mode. Changing maps fixed using the elite spec and masteries but not HoT map exploration which is now reset except for hero points.

Me too, everything is gone and it happened right after going to the guild hall. Man i am some upset right now!

Same here. HELP!

Same happened to me after I loaded into guild hall

it happened to me and my guildmates while we were on fractals. Then, all stuff went back to normal after patch except map exploration. The maps are blur as if we didn’t even touched it, but if you go by silverwastes and acces the 1st Wp of verdant brink, you’ll see that your hero points are counting as collected as well as the masteries and strongboxes, achievements, story progress etc…all except map exploration( POI’s, Vistas and Waypoints).
I was with 100% exploration on verdant brink and auric basin, 100% of tangled depths (except the mastery with the champion in the poison), and almost 100% in Dragon’s stand….i am REALLY upset about it because it took me and my friends all these days to actually get all the POIs, vistas etc…and now its all gone…besides we can’t even do the events on the other maps without the waypoints we had….
Other than that, i have had reported an early bug in which my character , who already had 100% central tirya exploration) wasn’t getting the cache for map completion on any of the expansion maps.

i hope all this get fixed ASAP.

This happened to me as well. Logged into Sparkfly Fen for teq, and lost all poi/wp on the new HoT maps. I really hope this is something that can be fixed.

If it helps at all, I was running the 64-bit client.

My PvP track (I was going for Jungle Wolf) was swapped to CoF’s without my doing so.

My Elite Specialization was also taken off my traitlines, and I had to re-equip it.

Trying to check to see what else I’m missing.

I’ve seen people complain this as well, about the impossibility to use the specialization. Actually all content from expansion was lost, including achievements, story, but then, after patch, all this went back to normal, except the exploration.
I was using 32-bit and my friends 64-bit, so this is not exclusive for any of them.

It’s worth noting that when this happened to me, I was on the 64 bit client, the two others in my guild it happened to were on 32 bit clients, so it doesn’t appear to be client specific.

All three of us happened in the guild vault, though my story did not get reset, only the map POIs.

I was working ON Achievement stuff when it happened — I finished the mission I was on and got the last achievement I needed for the Act, and got the rewards for them. I don’t think Achievement or story progress was wiped for me.

Good to know that it’s not client-specific, though. Still a strange (and frustrating!) one, to be sure.

It happened to me in an SPvP game. HoT achievements(including completed ones) were displaying as locked, ongoing ones that required doing HoT content were taken off the track list. As far as I can tell the entire account was de-flagged, and that status was reflected the next time you loaded into a map.

I lost all of my map progress in the Maguuma Wastes as well after the Tequatl map glitch. In game bug report submitted

Same here. I lost all of my 100% completition in all 4 new maps. Cant go there.

Dozens in our guild with the same issue, not good at all.

I was in a Teq map that had the masteries and elites disabled. I logged back in and my HOT map exploration was totally reset.

I was in a Teq map that had the masteries and elites disabled. I logged back in and my HOT map exploration was totally reset.

The issue occured with me when I logged into Sparkfly Fen about 20 minutes before reset.

I lost all progress in Dragon Stand. Area is all fog of war now.

Was in LA between Fractal runs, LFG’d for a group. Upon entering the instance, the two Chronomancers and myself (Daredevil) had our traits reset and our Elite Specializations locked (yet still completed). The specialization panel said they would unlock when HoT went live. We all relogged and our Elite Specializations unlocked and story reset to HoT chapter 1.

We finished our FotM run and then I had to log out. Haven’t checked yet if I had any of this affect Map Completion, but this was on a character who had the consistent map no-reward bug for those with 100% Central Tyria Map Completion.

Will check maps asap

Was doing teq and once done downloaded the new patch and then my necro no longer had HoT progress.

Another bug that I think goes along with this is some sort of lag/dc bug. I will zone into a map and I will have no lag issues but if I take damage/zone/join a different instance of that map within 1-2 minutes of being there my connection to that server will be dead and the only fix is to re-log. This happened when I was at teq and its happened around 10-15 times thus far and its extremely annoying because I literally can’t do anything.

just finished VB on my thief didnt get reward

Okay, I’m not the only one with this problem then. I just hope this bug will be fixed as soon as possible. I retried to get some waypoints in VB and it gives exp which means it did really reset. I’m not gonna retry to complete the map, it might cause problem.

I lost all of my 100% completition in 4 new maps. Cant go there.
Even with the new patch the problem persists.

After the patch, I still did not receive the map completion reward on VB.

100%‘d Verdant Brink on my warrior (Kiraga Bloodreaver) and wasn’t rewarded for it. Not sure if this has anything to do with this bug, though.

Patched, no resolution to my map completion. If it makes a difference in the issue: While we were waiting for a fix, I went to Auric Basin via my guild hall to see if that would fix the issue (which it did not). My current map comp in Maguuma shows Tarir only (the area I map completed while waiting for a fix).

I just completed Auric Basin (only had 1 vista missing) after the patch and no map completion reward. This was on a World Complete character. No retroactive rewards either for already completed Verdant Brink, Dry Top, Silverwastes, or Southsun.

Same here. I tried to start over again in VB but I felt that it’s ridiculous since the time and effort that I invested of getting all of those waypoints, poi etc.. were wasted. =(

I too am suffering from this problem with my ranger, hopefully a fix will sort it all out

After the map completion bug fix patch, i’ve just relogged and all the Waypoints are gone, AGAIN!

My guild claimed the Lost Precipice and, after patching, we appear to have to do it again because it didn’t save.

Just patched, had been waiting on one hero point to complete verdant brink while waiting for the fix. Didn’t get the map completion reward, guess I’ll wait for the retroactive fix then.

Also on a map completed character.

Anet, consider to rollback 24 hours, it’s the best choice before it get’s too complicated. (And you probably got security copies of our characters data anyway)

Hi everyone,

We just pushed an update to fix the bug that affected map completion and are working on a fix for the players that have been affected. We don’t have an ETA for this fix. Thanks for your patience!

Thank you for the bug fix! Hopefully those of us affected, including myself, will get the map completion rewards sent to us. I assume by mail?

I think that’s a separate issue related to instanced things not saving properly when a patch comes out. We lost story progression twice due to patches a week ago and had to redo them. Good luck with reclaiming that though, that sucks x.x

Which bug was this patch meant to fix, btw? The one with people losing map progress after entering their guild hall, or the one with not getting rewards if you have a 100% character?

Or, dare I dream, both?

I did just go in my guild hall and keep all my progress. I have avoided map completion on my Daredevil as he is my only Thief and he has the gold star so I don’t want him to lose out on the Thief box. If this patch fixed that I will be happy.

I recommend that people with affected characters play other characters that are not fog-afflicted, until we resolve these symptoms. If you wish to continue playing refogged characters it is very unlikely to cause any problems (beyond my personal sadness about the experience). We will fix your account during time that you are logged-out or after a hotfix.

Testing and deploying our change may take a day or more, but your refogged state is repairable.

We will repost here when an ETA is known or the symptoms are repaired.

This is awesome, but it would be great if we got the WPs and such we had back as well.

simply unfogging would be nice, but it’d be a lot of work to have to recomplete all the content previously done as well.

Telling us not to play our characters on their game? that’s absurd.

Only the first one(the new bug) unfortunately.

Well, the other one isn’t that old. Still waiting for my Drytop and Silverwaste rewards, which I completed close to their release

Just completed Dry Top and still no reward.

Same here! All Point Of Interests, Waypoints, and Vistas are reset in Heart of Thorns areas!

ALL PRAISE OUR OVERLORD SUSAN! \ O /

I just remembered I didn’t get retroactive reward for Southsun and Dry Top completion with my 100% Central Tyria map completion. Didn’t get any issue with new characters completing Central Tyria’s maps, but I hope all get fixed soon.
