Guild Wars 2

Since the latest update, I’ve noticed that whenever an enemy uses a knockdown skill, I’ve been thrown several feet away in a random direction (in addition to being knocked down). It didn’t do that before. Is this intentional?

Also, isn’t Dessa’s Experimental Journal supposed to count toward the Treasure Hunter collection? I got it recently (before the latest patch), but the collection still doesn’t list me as having made any progress.

I think u have to use Dessa’s Experimental Journal not just have it in inventory

That worked! Thanks. (I do think it’s weird that it has to be used, since most collection items are just “having,” right? But whatever works!)

I figured out what was going on with the knockdown, too. XD; I thought I’d put on one trait, when I’d really misclicked and put on another that moved me out of the way when knocked down.

tl;dr My bad! No issues here.

As a general rule, consumables like food, drinks and scrolls/tomes/recipes need to be actually used for them to count towards the Collection. Items that unlock in your Wardrobe, or that are account bound/soulbound on acquisition, do not.
