Guild Wars 2

After the latest patch (I believe it was today’s patch 14/09/12 or yesterday’s) I seem to have run into a rather annoying bug when creating a Sylvari.

After creating a Sylvari cutscenes seem to ‘bug out’ as anyone other than my character is silent, the dialogue appears at the top as usual, but Caithe, The Healer and even Scouts after doing the starting area just do not say anything.

I have tested it with already existing characters and it works fine, I created every other race to see if it was a new character bug but it seems to be limited to the Sylvari.

I was wondering if anyone else has run into this bug, or if it is just me, either way it would be nice to get some feedback on it.

TL;DR Newly created Sylvari cutscenes fail to play the audio files and animations when it comes to anyone but the player’s character.

Kaveck, I had a similar experience. I just went back to my sylvari necro earlier today, and was playing through personal story (lvl 1-10, white stag). The voiced dialogue for the other NPC’s in conversations played SOMETIMES, but not always. It was about 30% working, 70% not in most conversations. My character’s voiced dialogue always played correctly. As you said, the dialogue text was visible on screen, but the game was silent (and there was no lip-synch, although some hand gestures were apparent) while the other character in the conversation was “speaking.”

I didn’t realize that this was a new bug, I assumed it was unique to the white stag storyline, since this is the first character I’ve gone through that part of the personal story with (my first sylvari chose green knight).

Hope this helps!

I was just about to report the same issue. I just completed the lich fight (Flower of Death?) for the vigil and the audio for several of Caithe and Trehaine’s sentences did not play.
