Guild Wars 2

Hello,

So today after watch the previews for the patches, I noticed on such as sam. Now usually I don’t bug you Anet about fixing bugs. I report them and let them do it on their own time. However now you’re releasing content that involves the content that is bugged. So I feel the need to create a preemptive bug report.

Bug #1

Right now it looks like one of the collections in treasure hunter is Sam. A rabbit trinket that drops from Ogre Wars meta event by Ebonhawke. This event has been bugged for a long time. About a month ago I started doing meta event/boss events again and when we came to do Ogre Wars it was bugged. There is no longer a meta event symbol at the top right and no events running. The meta event itself was at the stage when both humans and charr took the second outpost and is about to being the last event chain. Sadly they never start and they just sit there. It went on bugged like this till a new patch came. It was unbugged, had the meta event thing again, and all seemed well. A few days later I go back there and it is bugged again, same problem as before. I went back there today and it’s still bugged. Both times I went there with a small group of players (usually around 10-15) and I told them all to please report the bug.

Now I’m not too fond at buying stuff off the TP for achievements/quest like this without trying/doing the content a few times. However I’m going to be very disappointed if this bug still exist tomorrow after the patch. Ogre Wars was one of my favorite events and it saddens me that I can’t do it anymore.

Just look at the wiki page and there are a load of bugs that can happen.

Possible Bug #2

The next event is in pursuit of knowledge. Now I’m not sure if this is a bug or just RNG. However this event sometimes doesn’t spawn the boss for a LONG time. I’ve sat there doing the pre events/any event that appears for an hour + and not have the boss spawn. Sometimes he spawns right away.

I really hope the reliability of these events improves with the feature patch, especially when the items that drop from them are so expensive.

I agree with you that ANet should ensure that the game doesn’t allow events to stall, especially when those events are required to unlock traits. Almost as important are these two that you mention, events that create the only opportunities to find certain items.

Thanks both for the post and for being specific about what goes wrong, so it’s easier for ANet to troubleshoot.

(The title of the post is a little misleading: these aren’t bugs with the Collections or Treasure Hunter; these are normal event bugs. It just happens that these bugs also affect other parts of the game.)
