Guild Wars 2

I’ve been trying to record the whole opening part for a friend and have run into one issue that has been aggravating me.

The second cutscene for your Sylvari, the one that is supposed to play after you defeat the dragon, keeps being skipped over for some reason. I’ve even tried playing it on friends computers who just recently downloaded the game from the sale and it’s the same thing. It keeps skipping like it’s not there anymore.

Is this just a minor bug that’ll hopefully be fixed in the next update?

Yes, I noticed this as well.

Several days ago it was all fine, but when I tried engineer,like two days ago,as a sylvari there was no cutscene after beating dream sequence. It’s a big bug for someone who didn’t experienced ,or want to experience again, sylvari story line.

bump Topic got buried under too many other things.

I’m also experiencing this bug.

To be clear, this is the cutscene with the Mender that is supposed to play as soon as you are ejected from the tutorial instance and appear in the main game world in Astorea. It simply does not play after the loading screen and you are instead immediately presented with the ‘personal story step complete’ notification and reward.

And no, I’m not using the streaming client.

My DxDiag is attached to this post.

Yes, I noticed that too.

And i did some research:

I dont know when this videos are recorded, but if we say same date with upload date. Bug occured between 03-18 April 2015 and between these date Anet released 2 updates, but your topic posting date is 11 April 2015 so between 03-11 April 2015 there is only 1 update,

Which is:

Update – April 7, 2015

Bug Fixes
Fixed a client crash related to language selection.

Guild Wars 2 Wiki Notes
Build: 47,388

It doesnt say anything about removal of cutscene so its a bug, and not fixed since April.

There is a story/lore gap between sylvari dream and real world, so Anet should already fix this.

I’ve just realised that I haven’t seen that cuscene since an eternity. I completely forgot that it even exists and just accepted the lack of it!
Wow, now I really hope it gets fixed soon!

Yes, probably many of us including Anet also forgot this cutscene, that is why they didnt adress the issue i believe.

I, too, noticed this missing, and would like to add my plea that it be restored.

Any info from Anet about issue? Is it being fixed with HoT release?

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to leave a small bump here so the topic is not forgotten ;-)

I did some “research” on YouTube and I back up Miasmus on what he pointed out earlier in this thread.

Now, I realize that we’re talking here about a minor bug that actually has no influence on the game mechanics whatsoever. Plus I think we should cut Anet some slack, since for the last few months they had their hands full with Heart of Thorns and all the update / fixes to it. That’s a LOT of work and they have to put some priorities on what they need to do.

But at the same time it would be awesome if that cutscene was fixed. It may be a little thing, but it adds a lot to the feel of the character (especially for a huge nerd like me ^^ ). It’s a small bit that builds the awesome story and lore of the game. Not to mention that a lot of people did put their hard work into making that minute or two of animation: programmers, graphic designers and voice actors. It would be a shame for their work to go unnoticed.

Have a nice day there everyone and here’s for seeing this one fixed!
