The white swords on objectives are seemingly tied directly to defense events in WvW. It would appear that along with the graphics, the defense events themselves have been disabled. This makes it impossible to complete WvW defense dailies, as well as advance any other permanent objective defense achievements. Please fix this oversight ASAP.
Fixed as of the most recent build.
