Guild Wars 2

I searched the forums and don’t see anyone else having mentioned it, but I have encountered two “bugs” in the new ls (in Silverwastes) having to do with keys and full inventory.

Due to all the Wintersday presents (ugh the snowflakes), I am walking around with a pretty full inventory on all my characters! I hadn’t realized my inventory had filled up again when I finished the Drydock jp and was looking for the 3 key pieces needed to open the Skritt burglar chest. The piles of rubble, when I interacted with them, said only “there is nothing here but rubble” (or something similar). It did NOT do the standard “your inventory is full” or open up a loot window so I could at least see what I would be looting if I had room in my bags. Just “there is nothing here but rubble.” Took me a few minutes to figure out what was wrong; I thought maybe I had missed a milestone. The problem, when it arises, should be more clear to the player. The “full inventory” problem should be indicated as it would be in any other looting situation.

More frustrating than that, I ended up with a full inv again when I attempted to make my first Key of Greater Nightmares. I tried to combine the nightmare essence with the bandit skeleton keys, and all that happened was my keys got eaten. I didn’t get a nightmares key in return. I assumed, since I had the exact number of each required in my inventory (so each stack would be 100% used up, freeing some space), that this would produce the desired key. Again, no “you don’t have room for this, dummy” message or anything… it just ate my keys. Not understanding what happened, I used crests to buy more keys and tried it twice more with the same result: NO key of greater nightmares. Just consumed bandit skeleton keys. It did NOT consume the nightmare essence on any of these attempts, however.

I dunno if these can be considered true bugs, and obviously this can be avoided if your inventory is not full, but if this is the intended mechanism for creating these keys then all I can say is that it’s very disappointing! =p
