Guild Wars 2

Thread’s been quiet for a while now. Any news on the second distribution ?

Hi,

More information about the bug occurence for my group, which may help find why a lot of people didn’t get the free armor but claim they were eligible. It happened on the tuesday, we started raid approx at 18:00 CEST (after updating the client if I remember well).

For us, the bug happened on Matthias. When we killed him, he disappeared but nobody in the team got a chest (neither bouncy chest with magnetite, nor big chest in the room). We went on to Wing 3 and came back to Matthias after that. The exact same thing happened again.

What’s more interesting here is that when we came back with all same players, the boss was there again along with his pre-event, as if we never killed him. So there is a good chance that the kill was not registered at all as a bugged successful kill, which would explain why we were not found eligible for the ascended armor.

Meanwhile, a lot of other players who talk about the bug, got no reward on VG, Gorseval or KC … so basically they were able to move on to next boss, proving that they did kill the previous one.

In short, is it possible that your detection queries missed the people who got the bug on the last bosses of wings (Sabetha, Matthias, Xera, Deimos) ?

Yeah, I believe the bug is due to two things : some Squad bug which made player not count as part of the squad though there were in the same instance – which would explain why only some people of a squad received the mail through the first roll – and then the bosses-marked-as-not-cleared bug for members affected by the squad bug. Because we killed the VG (didn’t get my chest, but some did), and were able to carry on. But when I opened the instance again on my own, the VG was back with its pre.

I’m just curious about how you can determine the encounter was successful, because though I’m 100% sure we killed the VG (and I am really 100% sure), the boss chest did not appear and more importantly it wasn’t counted as cleared for me, and when I re-entered the raid wing (alone) the three coloured guardians were back on the path, waiting to be killed again.

Same here, I downed the VG with no rewards (apart from a few lodestone shards) soon after the release and still haven’t got my mail though all my guildies (who didn’t have any reward problems) got their mail.

Same issue here, no achievements showing up. I had nearly completed the 21-50 achievement, but with the new one not being here, I’ll never get the chest I deserved.

It was switched with the one that is down to the south-west, near the Auric Basin entrance.

Have you tried opening it ?
