Guild Wars 2

Hello fellow gw2 community!

I returned to my character questline today and noticed, that in some parts of a scene the voice of the npc my char is talking to doesn’t work. The voice of my char always works, and the npc just doesn’t voice some parts of the dialouge. When the voice is missing, the npc’s mouth doesn’t move, too. That’s really strange, and I wonder, if I can fix this myself.
I have to say it is a bit anoying, because an essential part of my personal story goes missing there

I play on an german server, but use the game completely in english.

May the six bless you!

Edit
It is not just in one quest. I already completed 2 or 3 and it’s still persistent!

I’ve noticed this as well. I think it was introduced with one of the last 2 patches because I never had an issue with it until now and I just resumed my personal story after 2 days of not doing it.

Yep, I didn’t have this issue before the last build (some hours ago).

I am finding this on my Story Quests. I have just created a Charr in the Ash Legion and i think most of the dialogue has not been playing until my character speaks. Even after they do the NPC’s say nothing and their lips don’t move.

This is in the first part of the story quest

Alright. I am playing a level 35 human, so this has obviousely nothing to do with race nor level.

Same thing here.

I remember this problem from beta – they fixed it at some point, but as of today’s patch it’s back.

Definitely caused by a recent patch, doing exactly the same story steps on a new char as I did a few days ago on a different one but now some npc voices are broken that were fine.

It’s also causing explosions, ambient and informational dialogue, and other sound effects to play only some times.

I rolled a norn today and noticed the same thing too. It seems the very first line each character says is not voiced at all. Except the player character, that works fine.

Having the same problem here! No audio and the mouth doesn’t move either, it is really strange (It is even happening for Scouts when I talk to them)

This is happening to me as well! I am at Personal Story * The Sad Tale of the “Ravenous” level 26.

Same problem here – hadn’t noticed this issue before today’s somewhat larger game download, but after that rather many of the NPC audio files during storyline (Queen’s Justice) did not play (+ characters were missing the ‘speech’ animation)

I noticed while playing last night that the scouts I talked to no longer had voice overs while showing me the map. And NPCs during events didn’t have voices either. They would show the text bubbles, but no audio.

Same thing here, after this last patch a lot of audio dialogue is being skipped, i noticed it mostly in personal story dialogue and some NPCs like it says on previous posts, chat bubbles but no audio.

Yep, same here aswell.. No biggie, but still annoying.

Same here, happened in Charr Ash storyline as well as human circus storyline.

I just started noticing this today with multiple characters- chunks of npc audio missing during cut scenes.

I just double checked as it was happening, and their mouths don’t move, either. So it’s not just that the audio isn’t happening, the animation synch isn’t either. They still do hand gestures, though (which provides some interesting insights into the process…)

I have not monitored the other threads about this issue. Has there been an official statement or something?

Same thing here. I am sure about this because I had played a lv30 Norn with everything OK. Now I’m also playing a new lv1 Norn and some of the dialogue voices were missing.

same here stopped doing my story since this started happening right after the patch on the 14th and at my current rate i’ll be over 10 levels ahead of my story soon

Also some of the scouts have this issue as well since i went into metrica hills talked to the 1st scout and no voice acting for it

Its happening to me as well but its no biggie although I would like to hear what they are saying :/

I’ve encountered this aswell, it definitly has to be something from a past patch. Because, it worked fine for an entire human campaign until today. Whilst i was leveling a few alts. I find it sad, since i really enjoy the cinematic story as it is.

Indeed, this happened to me too. The NPC it happens to changes, as well. Nothing too bad, but it gets a bit annoying.

Came to the forums to see about this! Started a sylvari mesmer and it’s doing it to me in story mode. Scouts also don’t speak when showing the map.

I’ve had this periodically happen with Tegwin for the Silvari

the last lot of little patches have bugged this out and alot of quest as well..

Just wanted to add this is not just a low lvl thing, our grp did two high lvl story mode dungeons last night and it was the same.. about 1 in event 3 bits of text the voices are missing.

I played Norn and Asura Story today and the voices were missing randomly on cutscenes and also in the mission instance NPCs. Only the chat bubbles were on

The same is happening to me too, It was fine and working until a few days ago and sometimes the story quest is now silent

The recent patch seems to have broken the voice overs…I have this problem with 3 of my alts’ personal stories.

Just to chime in, I’ve noticed in the last 3 days or so, never before that, so it does seem to be related to a recent patch. Some lines that work for me later do not work for my wife in the exact same story quest, so there is some issue of RNG present.
