Guild Wars 2

As a rule, the resource nodes in all zones reset whenever a new build is released, or subsequent updates addressing bugs. However, since the most recent update was released on Friday, Jan. 24th, the resource nodes in Malchor’s Leap are resetting every 12hrs…seemingly upon daily reset and again the following morning. I can verify this is happening on the Stormbluff Isle server but cannot verify if it is occurring on other servers as well.

Patches are the most common reason but not the only time a map will reset. A zone crash is another and also when the zone becomes empty. With two events drawing a very large number of people away it wouldn’t be surprising if a zone like Malchor’s Leap can become empty.

While I am aware of this, I have farmed Malchor’s Leap, Cursed Shore, and Frostgorge for orichalcum, ancient wood, etc. almost every single day (I’ve missed a day here or there on rare occasions) on multiple characters for the last year. I’ve even kept records to note when each character enters each zone for the purpose of knowing how quickly I can farm again (once per day per character, with the zones resetting at the daily reset, although no one character can farm the orichalcum or ancient wood nodes twice within a 6-hr span regardless of daily reset). What is happening here is not what you stated above. As I noted above these resets are occurring at a specific time every day, and the last time Malchor’s Leap reset in a manner similar to this it was noted to be a bug.

Is this happening on all servers or is it something that is particular to SBI?

Happens on every server, whenever the map is empty they reset.

OK thanks! I guess I shall try farming on a higher pop server if I have the same route every day.
