Guild Wars 2

1. 18th. june , around 17:00 Central Europe. ( I belive, might have been the 19th and a later time durring the day)
2. Are.1326
3. Lions Arch (Aurora Glade)
4. In between the lonbster docks eyes.
5. Doing the Trolls Revenge Jumping puzzle with friends
7. No spell effects, but my friends could not revive me, even when they were standing ontop of my dead body.
8. There was water under me that should have taken the fall if the server calculated a fall, the distance down would not have killed me if I fell.

I also died a bit later the same day, this time futher down the jumping puzzle just before the 4th chest.

While I can not provide you the specific details as ithas not happened to me, I can say in the past few weeks when this occurs to players in EOTM, it sends you back to the spawn WP immediately. It could be that the game is processing random fall damage do to the nature of its behavior in EOTM. Its happened to my husband over in the Ascalon areas two weeks ago as well when he was leveling his charr.

Sorry I can’t provide more specifics but I wanted to provide what I’ve witnessed through fellow guild-mates and my husband.

Hi Gaile. I don’t have any specific info as of now, but I think I can help a bit.

Once when I experienced such random death, instead of waypointing I logged out to character select. When I loaded in the game, characters was displaced in another portion of Lion’s Arch. So my assumption is that server decides that you are in some other part of the map. This explains a lot of things:

• You can’t see NPCs and players and dynamic objects because server does not send this info to you, you’re out of radius in which they load around you.
• People can’t resurrect you – again, your “server” body is lying somewhere far away.
• A wild guess – a random death itself is a server’s reaction to your movements, as if you’re a cheater with teleport hack and discrepancy between client’s and server’s coords changes too fast. Again – it’s a wild guess, I am not a cheater and don’t know how server handles cheaters, but it seems pretty logical.

1. Don’t remember the exact time, before latest patch. Central time zone

2. Knight In Shining Armor.1708

3. Storm Bluff Isle

4. I was in Eternal Battlegrounds

5. I was moving from green spawn point to Stone Mist Castle. I was south of green keep.

7. Aegis was active on me when I died, and was still on me when I respawned.

8. The game lagged a couple seconds before death. I was unable to activate any skills, when the client caught up I was dead. I did not notice any red damage numbers when I died.

1. Didn’t check time or date.
2. Timskwah.5802
3. Divinity’s Reach, Ossan district.
4. On the ramp down from the waypoint, Balthazar’s waypoint I think.
5. I was walking (not running, walking) down the ramp.
6. No GIF available.
7. The walking animation as said earlier, nothing fancy otherwise.
8. I didn’t see any NPCs, and I’m quite sure there should be one or two in sight.

Nighthawk.6453:

…So my assumption is that server decides that you are in some other part of the map…

I agree with this. After a death in Lion’s Arch while standing on a roof, I logged out and back in and found myself on the other side of the city.

Possibly related, I’ve had several cases where I cannot interact with either a downed person or a gathering node, and have to move around before it works.

Grenth has come to reap the souls of the unworthy.

On a serious note;
1. Unfortunately I don’t have any specifics on time besides patch day. (6/22/2015)
2. Talonblaze.3175
3. Lion’s Arch
4. Postern Ward at the Lion’s Shadow Inn
5. Waiting for night and attempting to enter the Inn.
6. Not available, sorry.
7. Death animation was that of dying through damage, (As a warrior would through Vengance or NPCs.) rather than a down or falling death.
8. The issue occurred right after loading from Eastern Ward Waypoint. Took a few moments as I was jumping around the inn impatiently. Without warning, all the players and NPCs near the Inn immediately disappeared. A moment later, I died through the visual above with no indication.

This happened the weekend before the new Lion’s Arch patch. Oh, the time would have been somewhere between reset and 2 or 3 hours before reset.

Standing on bridge above Mariner’s Waypoint. Just talking to my guildie. No one really near; lots of people down by the crafting stations, of course, and at the different merchants and traders. My guildie just fell over dead. We weren’t moving, or using any spells, or anything else, at all. We were standing quite close together, a couple of Tyrian feet apart. Nothing affected me.

I believe I was able to resurrect him, but I’m not sure. I was laughing, and telling him that it was a relatively common ‘bug’ I had seen come up recently on the forums.

Oh, I can’t say which IP map we were on, but our home server would have been HoD.

1) 6/29/15, around 3 PM PST
2) brickman.9154
3) Yak’s Bend, Diessa Plateau
4) Various places, including around Grendich Ruins POI and Dunrock Gulch POI
5) Literally just running around, with the occasional engineer kit toggling to proc streamlined kits
6) See attached
7) No apparent spell effect, no entry in combat log, just sudden large damage numbers. It seems similar to fall damage in my case.
8) NPCS and other players have disappeared as others have indicated. On one of these occasions, a party member had traveled to where my client says I died and reported that I was not there—instead I was somehow dead outside of the map (refer to pic). I relogged and sure enough, I was dead outside and under the map (further southwest than Anya’s strawberry garden).

Answering this for a friend.

• 1. 29th june, between 5pm and 10pm (don’t remember the exact time) +1GMT.
• 2. Detouc.5320
• 3. Baruch’s Bay
• 4. Near 1 of the tentacles of the lion’s arch octopus, more accurately in the red circle: http://prntscr.com/7nbpft
• 5. He and me were just running around playing catch like little childs.
• 6. No gif.
• 7. None of us saw anything different.
• Additional details or observations:
  • There is no water around, he didn’t enter in the forge at all (although that knocback + fall wouldn’t kill anyone).
  • It might be related to certain IPs, because there was like 8-10 reports of dead people in the same Lions Arch overflow at that time in less than 5 minutes (no idea if they were trolling or not).
  • Another important fact is that my friend died later (a few hours later) again in lion’s arch.
  • He did check the combat log after he died, nothing appeared.
  • We did believe it’s related to Lag, since the servers are lagging a lot lately (we are experiencing skill delay, movement delay, etc) and it’s probably that the server lagged out and though that my friend moved too far too quickly and the only reason for that could had been a fall.

There were some random comments on chat calling GMs to kill people on stealth, but that isn’t possible, right? (would be hilarious though, lol)

4. Where you were on the map: The Ruined City of Arah (explorable) Path 3(Forgotten path)

5. I experienced FODS (Fall Over Dead Syndrome) once preceded by my character equipping his underwater weapon and having no skills, not being able to interact with anything, not being able to see or attack any enemies, but able to loot grand chests. Other members of my party had a similar experience in these same instances. In Path 3, I was running between the two bosses, Wraithlord’s Crusher and Wraithlord’s Mage Crusher. I was playing my thief and had recently stealthed my party and then ran past enemies. I was unstealthed when seemingly out of the blue my character unequipped his land weapons and appeared to have his underwater speargun on. I lost all weapon skills and the ability to use my 6-10 skills. A minute or so later I fell over dead. Waypointing seemed to fix the problem momentarily, but it cropped up multiple times during the rest of the dungeon. Going to character select or completely closing the client both reset my character to normal, which I had to do at least three times throughout the dungeon. These seem like different problems, but the mere coincidence leads me to think they have a similar source.

6. Sorry no GIF.

7. Any spell effect or other identifying animation that you see when your character dies: For the deaths my character took no damage from any source; I was not in stealth, cloaked or otherwise obscured from enemies, but neither was I in combat or took fall damage. I did not check the combat log for a damage taken entry, but I visually saw no white or red damage indicator on my screen. I wish I had more information about this, but it happened so suddenly I was not expecting it.

8. Additional details or observations that you can share: Another party member died around the same time I did and also had the underwater weapon equipped bug. I urged him to file a bug report which I believe he did using the in-game tool.

Bug report had been sent in game several days ago, although there really is no appropriate category in the bug report for a situation like this.

The best I could figure was… General PVE & Environment > Terrain

Nothing within the Player category was at all appropriate for this situation.

Anywho…

1. I believe it was late on Thur, June 24/early Fri, June 25.
2. Nep Leet.5491
3. Tarnished Coast
4. Mystic Plaza in Lion’s Arch
5. Standing still for at least 5 minutes, watching Quaggan Hatchlings play in the pool at Mystic Plaza.
6. Not sure if relevant or not: I had Fury cast on me twice just before I died. I can only assume it was from a player who had just run by me.
7. A few seconds after Fury was cast on me, all the nearby NPCs and players disappeared from view and I was suddenly dead. No relevant combat messages. As I lay there dead, several folks in map chat commented about the insta-death bug (that apparently had hit them at the same time I died). Later one of those people mentioned they had died about 10 times in LA within a span of a half hour or something. As I lay there, NPCs appeared south of my location. Still no players in sight. About 20 minutes or so, I suddenly respawned and all NPCs and players near me reappeared. No one had rezzed me.

1. 6/29, between 10pm-11pm EST
2. Koomaster.9176
3. Lion’s Arch
4. All over Lion’s Arch as this happened multiple times.
5. Taking my friend around showing him the karka hunt.
6. No gifs, sorry
7. Not that I recall, just dropped over dead.
8. The only two locations I remember me dying is 1. That bridge that has the wonky floating sand texture at one end of it. I jumped from the bridge through the texture and died instantly. 2. Octobank, was showing my friend how to jump up the tentacles. First tentacle I jumped on I just flopped over dead. Both my friend and I died several times each in the span of an hour in Lion’s Arch but those are the only locations I remember specifically.

1) 3-5 days ago (sorry, don’t remember day), between 23:00-23:30 server time (just prior to daily reset)
2) Tamasan.6457
3) Southsun Cove
4) climbing the ramp up to the ori node at the top of Karka Hive, nearly at the top
5) walking up the ramp. see #4
6) wish I could… it just happened and was a complete surprise.
7) Possible I had used either signet of rage or balanced stance prior, but no other effects. I was close enough to see the champ karka at the top, but was certainly not within agro range. no damage showed in my logs other than 2-3 minutes prior when I was outside the hive

1. I think it was 06/31/15, but i can’t remember the exact time.
2. Malchir.4798
3. Drakkar Lake [DE]
4. Wayfarer Foothills, Shamans Rookery
5. I was doing the last jump of the jumping puzzle – the one to the plattform where the door and chest are located. When i landed, i died.
6. no GIF or Screenshot, sorry.
7. It was like a rock falling on me – at least it seemed so (didn’t saw an actual rock, just the shockwave). At first i thought i just missed something and the death was part of the puzzle (like a punishment for “cheating” because i just went past any NPC who wanted to fight me, ignoring everybody).
8. Every NPC disappeared right before the death. They disappeared again when i tried it a second time, but because i thought i have to beat them in order to complete the puzzle, i reloaded the map (went to character screen and back into the game). The NPCs were back and i didn’t suffer an other unexpected death.

Additional details or observations that you can share
It’s like I took one hit of damage and then died instantly.

1. Various dates and times. It started happening after the patch prior to the June 23 patch, on June 17, at around 15:00 European server time.

2. Shukriyya.7629 – I have only experienced it happening to two of my characters (the ranger and the necro).

3. Diessa Plateau, Wayfarer Foothills, Caledon Forest, possibly more

4. various spots

5. map exploration – mostly just running through the map or doing hearts; world boss event in Wayfarer Foothills (I randomly died before the event and afterwards.)

6. no gifs available

7. —

8. The first time it happened other people reported experiencing the same thing as well (June 17 in Diessa Plateau). Things disappeared from the map (vista, npcs, enemies, heart items) and I randomly dropped dead. If I logged out at the “things disappearing” stage and logged in again, I spawned in unreachable places that were far from where I was before (e.g. once I logged out at Raintimber Mill and spawned in the wall north of North Nolan Hatchery). I sent in a bug report at that time and could provide some screenshots from the spawn locations if necessary.

At other times I didn’t notice anything disappearing and just dropped dead. Other people were unable to resurrect me. One time before I died my underwater weapon skills showed up even though I was not underwater on my screen.

I’ve got an example that’s a little bit different in that I didn’t die, but it seems like it’s still related to the same issue, so I’ll share it anyway.

1: Sunday, June 28th, around 9:30 PM Central time
2: Xiahou Mao.9701
3: Tarnished Coast
4: It was in the Silverwastes after the Breach but before Vinewrath.
5: We found the Skritt Burglar chest on the map. After opening it, the Burglar ran off and my party pursued it, but we were unable to damage it at all. When I was attempting to use Heartseeker to chase it, I noticed I was flying off in a different direction than the Burglar was running. While the rest of my party got frustrated and gave up, I started spamming Heartseeker and moving off to the east (it seemed to be running north), and after about four uses the Burglar suddenly appeared in front of me and took damage, its position updating properly.
6: No Gif!
7: No spell effects, since I didn’t die, but it was definitely a weird situation. Both me and the guildmates I was partied with saw the Burglar going the one way and pursued it there, and probably 20 seconds passed before I caught up to it with Heartseeker on the correct path and its position updated for all of us.

I can’t recall any other instance in the past of the server failing to update the location of an enemy properly, as happened here. Hopefully as an example of it happening without any explosive deaths involved, this can help narrow it down.

5. Trying to explore the map; specifically walking on the road.
6. I am not that much hardcore computer user, sorry.
7. In two deaths, only the screen went greyish as usual after death. But for once the character equipped her aquatic weapons on land, some of the skills on skill bar went missing, the character got stuck, and after 2-3 seconds she died.
8. It is something like I am walking on the road, but the map is not able to load/sync the environment around me at the same time. The ores/trees/plants can be seen on minimap but they do not appear when I go close to them. Monsters do not show up either. Then after a while the game kills the character.

Good luck.

1. A couple days ago, ~21:10, gmt+2.
2. Luna.1839 (on my guardian Luna Elen).
3. Sparkfly Fen.
4. Right underneath Tequatl at the Splintered Coast.
5. Fighting Tequatl, and going from the main phase to the turret phase.
6. I didn’t actually die, so I can’t provide a gif, but I did experience what happened to the people above before they died.
7. See above.
8. I was fighting Tequatl and doing damage (I saw the damage numbers), when everything around me except my partymembers, Tequatl and the environment (ground/hills etc.) seemed to disappear. I could no longer see or use my skills (they were all just grey squares, like when you are swimming on the water, but without the animations that come with moving into the water) or do damage. Since we have been experiencing a lot of lag in that fight, I figured it would clear up soon enough, so when I was told that the turret phase had started over ts, I ran for the eastern turret. About halfway there, I got the pop up about being at the end of the world (“You’ve hit a strong current and will be pushed back if you continue further.”). On my minimap, I still appeared to be on the way to the turrets, but I could not move any further towards them. I waypointed, which seemed to fix the problem (and almost made me miss the end of the fight). After the fight was over, one of my guildies experienced a similar problem, where he couldn’t see anyone around him anymore, but did see the chest. However, he was unable to open it, from his position right on top of the chest. He was forced to go back to character select and log back into his character and back into the correct map before he was able to loot the chest.

3. Plains of Ashford
4. The ruins of Duke Barradin’s estate, above ground.
5. Roaming/gathering. At the exact moment of death, the character was attempting jump up an embankment and keeled over instantly on touchdown.
7. Combat-death style animation, no downstate, just straight up dead as though from a fall but no fall death animation.
8. Almost immediately after death, my bro was automatically ‘relocated’ to an area just a pinch north of the Langmar Estate waypoint; the one that is always contested unless the Guild Puzzle is active. A matter of seconds after he appeared there another player’s character appeared, dead, at the same location, so it seems like it happened to both that player and my brother at approximately the same time, and pinged them to the same location.

Both avatars where completely difference races, genders and classes; the only similarity between the two is they both had gemstore wardrobe items: my bro had the Balth armour and the other player had the white wings. I dunno, I doubt that has any bearing whatsoever, but I thought I’d mention it since, well, it was an observation, haha Programming is crazy weird sometimes so you just never know!

8. After I used wp some strange things started to happen.

I coudn’t use elementalist staff skills, my Signet of air passive was turning on and off on buff bar, 2-3 min later while walking near bridge (on land) my staff weapon was replaced with trident (I was holding underwater weapon on land ) with no 1-5 skills available, all I could do was switch atunements. At some point everything slowly went back to normal.

If it helps, a few ppl in map chat said that insta death also happened to them at the same time as my death, and some of them couldn’t interact with vistas.

I’ve posted about my most recent death in a different thread (here ), but will reiterate:

1. 29th June, 14:00 approx., CET
2. Ceridwen.6703
3. Seafarer’s Rest
4. Frostgorge Sound, just outside of the Kodan camp at Slough of Despond
5. Running back to finish mining a mithril node on top of the cliff
6. "Include a GIF file of your untimely death, if you can do so" - can’t, but did have shots of afterwards included in my original post. Can repost if required.
7. There was a noticeable lag spike for a split second, but nothing other than that.
8. My character was drunk and using a speed buff at the time. Not sure if that really makes a difference. XD After waypointing back to Slough of Despond, my character was bugged, as though she was underwater. Have amusing screenshots involving "Landshark" in the other thread. They also indicate the server (?) may have though the Claw of Jormag event was still active, as the ice wall appears to be present, and the canons are possibly mid-shot. For clarity, the Claw event had finished about ten minutes or so before I died, and I’d finished up on the kodan Castaways event thereafter - purely to purchase the alcohol required for the Brewmaster achievement.
On the first image of the other thread, you can see the mithril node on the minimap. I couldn’t actually mine it after my respawn.

I have also experienced the land spear phenomenon, where your weapon skills disappear and you equip a basic spear and rebreather and you cannot use any utility skills, however I have not died during this and have fixed it by waypointing, but it often comes back again when staying in same map.
My ping has been spiking to over 4k at times. I submitted a ping test of 30 minutes in Silverwastes to support and they told me it was packet loss and its down to my ISP. I’m not sure I believe this right now.

I was leaving the caverns near Grey Road Waypoint and wanted to activate it. The waypoint wasn’t visible in 3d, only on the minimap. After some time it registered. Then I died. I logged off and coming back later my character is displaced to an area which normally cannot be reached.

8.
- While gathering the karkas I had to jump a lot and some of the times, after a while, I could no longer cast spells (the rifle one and the utilities, could not drop the rifle also, like a skill lag/delay, but the icon didn’t keep blinking, it was like the skill was used);
- I noticed the map no longer had NPCs, but the map chat was functional;
- I no longer received FALLING DMG!!! I could do ANY JP! (but no chest at the end);
- Some textures didn’t load. At the Sharkmaw Caverns I could see the blue rectangles at the floor and the blue pillar at the left when you just dropped there;
- The traps didn’t do anything, the ghost didn’t appeared and talked;
- So, to get OUT of the bug I WP to somewhere, the NPCs reappear and I walk/jump a little, BAM! Sudden death!
- Then I try again to go to the Sharkmaw get the last karkas…. if I notice the VISTA doesn’t appears at the entrance (yeah, the floating map icon and lights) I know I am bugged already, then WP back and get a sudden death

EDIT: I had forget about this: when trying to reach the karka under the lighthouse, the game crashed and when I got back I was at the far NORTH WEST, UNDER the mountain!!! It was a nice map break =p
Later, I joined a guildie in another instance and not even a single death, I could finish the achievement.

I was doing map completion, though before it happened i’d have been getting random moments where the game didn’t respond to my commands or didn’t seem to know my exact location or which way i was turned. as if there was a miss-communication between my client and the server. Where the server did things in different orders from what i commanded it to.
I finally died at Mette’s Posting, strangely enough when i died the npc were missing there.
I thought to see if i relogged, it would drop me on a diff version of the map. But when i loggen back in.
I was apparently off the map somehow.

Dunno if this helps, but i think a certain server is not working as intended

[edit] After i got a under population message and accepted it to go to a diff version of the map, all the strange lag like symtoms disappeard. Maybe a server is breaking down?

this is going on still in brisban wild lands this morning (north america server , 7/1/15). there is much talk about it in map chat.

i didn’t die today but for a time i had my trident equipped while on land . unable to use any weapon skills for a minute or so til it changed back to my normal land weapons.

no water splash or anything just switched , like ~ switching between sets .

i did die there last night (6/30/15) . no downed state just dead . i sent an in game /bug report with a screen shot of my combat log showing no damage .

there was a very high map population at the time . a guild challenge or some such going on in the north west corner . minis hidden message several minutes before i died.

i noticed skill activation lag , and some slight rubber-banding of my character position. also , i was not able to interact “F key” with some (not all , just some) objects for renown heart completion .

its pretty weird and kind of spooky. i like to pretend i’m being hunted by the unseen . but , is it largos or mursaat ?? :-)

6. He had the lava debuff as though he had fallen down into the lava.
7. Perhaps the game thought he fell below his position through the terrain?

3. Lion’s Arch
4. Halfway up the ramp for Phoenix Roost
5. Running up to grab the vista
7. There was no spell animation along with it but my character seemed to do a couple of tiny pauses mid-run right beforehand.
8. I’ve had this happen before while in Edge of the Mists taking the green keep. Like this time, I was running up a ramp and saw a tiny stutter in the run animation before I died. Both times I’ve been unable to be resurrected.

I noticed that my fps was unusually low (a fixed 20 where I’m normally a minimum of 50) since I started up the game this morning.
