Guild Wars 2

Today is 11/2/2012, and I am currently playing my level 49 ranger in the Diessa Plateau zone on the Blackgate server. On occassion, I see “Raw Candy Corn” node text when I hold my left-Control key. It is only visible for a split second when it occurs and then vanishes. The actual candy corn model for the node itself is not visible, just the text that would normally be hovering above it.

Has anyone experienced this?

EDIT: Actually, after seeing this occur even more, the 3D model for the raw candy corn harvesting node is in fact visible as well for the same amount of time the node text is visible. How strange.

SAME bug for me since the update Fireheart rise zone

OMG, I thought I was seeing things! I could’ve sworn I saw an orange candy corn node on my screen for a brief second, but when I turned to look again it was gone. LOL

Looks like the Mad King’s realm is still fused with ours somehow – kitten temporal anomalies!

Now when the Halloween event is over I suppose the Corn nodes should be removed from the game but

I can still see Raw Candy Corn in the game world showing up briefly for a few second – especially in places I have never been before.
I can not target or mine them , they do not show up on the minimap.

Same in WvWs, the teasing lil` things giving us a sly flash of candy reality.

So I’m not crazy?
I was in Fireheart Rise, and could have sworn that ‘Raw Candy Corn’ flashed up on my screen somewhere.

It’s hard to prove a negative. Just because what you saw was really there doesn’t mean you are not crazy :p

Same thing for me. Was in Frostgorge again for the first time since halloween and suddenly saw a candy corn node in the distance for a split second and then vanish.

I’ve also noticed however that the game becomes more sluggish the longer you play. Normally I never had these issues, but today I had to quit the game because I had only 9fps in WvW while standing in an empty tower.

Also, the rendering issues seem to be back.

This had me thinking I was crazy, the guys on TS with me thought I was just seeing things because of all the raw candy corn nodes I farmed and in the end getting annoyed at seeing lol

I too thought I was going slightly loopy when I saw this happen in the Bloodtide Coast earlier today!

It disappeared very quickly, and I was unable to make it reappear by moving away and coming back.

No biggie, but just adding to the location list/confirmation it’s happening

I’m seeing them all over the map and just want to take a pick axe to em.

Yesterday we were running through Sparkfly Fen opening up the map and getting way points, poi’s and the like. What I noticed was a node on my mini map that when I moused over it, it said it was candy corn…whoops? did I see that right?

Just as I ran to the location the node disappeared completely. But for one brief moment I saw Candy Corn standing in the spot then it was gone.

Seems there are some ghosts of candy corn nodes out there still. I thought these had been removed with the patch we got yesterday.

Yeah I’ve been seeing this too (Candy corn). They don’t show up on mini map, just appear out of thin air in certain spots then disappear.

Seen them ranging from Lornar’s Pass to Cursed Shore.

Seen a couple of them too, Thought I’d had too much coffee

i’ve seen them flicker into existance briefly both in front of my toon and on the mini map. My guildmates called me crazy. Well I’ll show them how crazy a bucket dances!

Same, see it briefly before it vanishes into thin air

I’ve also seen this, in Caledon Forest. Doesn’t seem to have any other impact.

oops…sorry, meant candy corn.

shocking news.. Anet has another bug

Don’t worry.. 3 patches and might be fixed

I saw this once today too. Thought I was having flashback from too much candy :p

I just saw one near the Level 5 Skill point in Plains of Ashford North West of Graysteel Armory Waypoint.

Saw them in EB in WvWvW…

i’ve seen this bug a good half dozen times now all in different zones including WvW

i almost got lucky this morning and mined one. i was a good foot away from it when it appeared suddenly and then disappeared

This is as a result of your character undergoing candy corn addiction.

Or there are a guild of trolling Mesmers running around Tyria.

But yeah, I’ve seen it, too.

I see them a lot in world versus world too on Aurora Glade. Definitely confirmed.

I bug reported this thru the usual bug report in game. Still seeing them today.

On Tarnished Coast this happened to me in Queensland yesterday. I thought I was just seeing things because it appeared for a moment and then it was gone.

And i tought i was going mad, seeing those candy corn mines for a split second and then dissappearing in WvW

Same here, but then again with GW2 we should always first assume it to be a bug then do a sanity check later.

I’ve had this issue as well in WvW borderlands as well as Iron Marches.

On a side note, if Anet could reproduce this bug and next year, maybe starting Oct 1, we start seeing candy corn out of the corner of our eyes that would be amazing.

I have seen raw candy corn nodes appear suddenly, and then vanish just as quickly. Kind of reminds me of the movie projector scene in Fight Club. I wonder if anyone has been fast enough to actually mine these ghost nodes? That should be an achievement.

I’ve seen it about 4 times now today.

same here but it could be possible its like the mad kings realm breaking thru?

I managed to mine one today while picking Strawberries.

I saw one on my minimap last night in the Mount Maelstrom map, and I briefly saw the 3D-model of a candy corn mining node a while later (not the same location but still in Mt M)

Either of those options would be great ways to explain this in-game. And we’ve already got the NPC Hit-U-PC trolling guild, why can’t we have a guild of for-the-lulz mesmers? It makes so much sense!

I’m only necroing this thread because I am also having the exact same issue. It’s not just been in certain maps though, it’s been everywhere. The icon even flashes up on my minimap. I’ve gone crazy in Obsidian Sanctum because I was trying to find this mythical node!

I find mining nodes of ANY sort will pop up briefly on the minimap and then just as quickly disappear.

I see these phantom nodes all over the place while taking some alts through the game and in many different areas.

This is something that should have been fixed not long after it was reported, but it’s still here now.
