Guild Wars 2

Well, I posed this question in the form of a Ticket, as to whether this was an Intentional Update by the Devs, or a Bug/Glitch. 2 GM’s gave me complete non-answers, so I will ask here. Issue: the Orichalcum Ore, Orrian Sapling, and Omnomberries in malchor’s Leap and Cursed Shore are changing locations outside of Game Resets. I have been gathering in Orr for over a year now, and it is only since the LA Events Updates that I have noticed this happening. Others have taken notice as well (I will post a link to the Crafting Forum Post). Never mind discussion of the pros/cons if this was an intentional Game Mechanic Update by the Devs. All I would like is a straight answer. Was this an intentional update to the game mechanic of these Resource Nodes and are they now supposed to function this way, or is this a Bug/Glitch? It’s one or the other, and I see absolutely no harm in informing the community either way, especially those of us who actually still play/gather in the Orrian maps anymore in the first place. Thanks in advance.

It is said, any time a map becomes empty, it resets, and resets nodes. Maybe that is what is happening for you.

I had thought so as well at first, as I play on ET, but it’s happening on servers that stay pretty full as well it seems, even BG.

I’ve noticed this even when guesting on Blackgate. Frostgorge there is never empty. This only started just recently.

I agree in that I noticed the disappearing nodes after the LA patch. I harvest Ori on six characters every day. In Malcor’s Leap I had harvested on a couple of characters and on the third character, harvested a couple of nodes and WP towards the next node and it had vanished and all subsequent nodes also had vanished.

I only harvest Malchor’s Leap and Cursed Shore. Malchor’s Leap changes at least every 24 hours, Cursed shore is a little more reliable but it too has changing nodes. I too would like to know if this is a bug or if this is an intentional change.
