Guild Wars 2

hildegain.2106:

Windows isn’t the most used desktop OS just because of video games but also because of how it works.

It’s not because of how it works, it’s because it’s pre-installed on new computers. If tomorrow every vendor would start selling PCs with Linux, do you think everyone would grab a Windows box from a store shelf and install it? Most would just stay with Linux.
Look at the smartphone market. 90% of smartphones in the world run on Android (Linux), because it’s pre-installed.

I went back online after a few months of inactivity just to check if the spelling errors have been corrected in the game. From the 3 random I checked, none were fixed.

Seriously, it’s been 8 months and these are the easiest fixes there can be! Just search for a word spelled incorrectly and replace it!

All my time collecting these bugs and presenting them in a fine list seems wasted :-/

A big update this time. My 2nd long post in this topic got the following [NEW] entries:

Rata Sum

• Statics Expert Azzi
• Statics Expert Zann
• Shady Alchemist Grack

Snowden Drifts

• Krysali
• Scholar Gina
• Claw Honor Guard
• Keeper of Words
• Ailionora

Lornar’s Pass

• Scholar’s Journal

Citadel of Flame

• 3x Scholar Magg

Personal Story

• Trahearne
• Allie
• Carys
• Mira

Thanks for your kind words. As I explore the world and find more bugs, I write them down in my notebook and when I get a few, I make another post

Anyway. I’ve updated my 2nd post in this thread with the following 3 [NEW] points:

• Mail from Costi Atl
• Scholar Dandor
• Wynnet Fairhaired

In Hero window, My Story tab, when I scroll down the list of personal story steps, everything from the list disappears. I’m not able to read the last steps. I’ve attached 2 screenshots, one when the text is visible, and the other when I scrolled slightly lower.

My brother also has the same problem. We’ve experienced it today (19.10.2012) for the first time and it might be due to us moving to a different server… or might be just a coincidence.

I think that this ability works as intended, but there is an error in the tooltip. It says:
“Toss Elixir B to grant fury, might, retaliation, and swiftness to allies.”
but it seems like it should say:
“Toss Elixir B to grant fury, might, retaliation or swiftness to allies.”
So it only grants 1 of 4 boons when tossed.

Regarding adding duration. It should work like that. Some boons increase intensity (for example, might can have multiple stacks) and some increase duration.
If you mouse over each boon, it will say either “stacks duration” or “stacks intensity”.

edit: Orissa was faster

No, Safh, I tested this while having a condition on myself.

Lyuben might be correct that this is intended. I’ve tested other turrets and they all overcharge not immediately after you press the button, but on next attack.

LameFox is right. I also think this is not working correctly. Sometimes it takes 8 seconds between you using the ability to it going off.
I think the overcharge is (wrongly?) set up to cleanse on the next normal tick of the turret.
So, if you place the turret and immediately after overchare it, the cleanse will happen after 8 seconds, but if you place it, wait 6 seconds and then click overcharge, the cleanse will occur after only 2 seconds.

Still, IMO it should cleanse immediately.

Leatherworker.

I’ve just made several items through discovery:

• 7 pairs of boots:
  Valkyrie Prowler Boots —-- missing
  Knight’s Prowler Boots —-- missing
  Carrion Prowler Boots —-- missing
  Rampager’s Prowler Boots
  Explorer’s Prowler Boots
  Cleric’s Prowler Boots
  Berserker’s Prowler Boots

• 5 pairs of boots:
  Carrion Prowler Pants —-- missing
  Rampager’s Prowler Pants
  Explorer’s Prowler Pants
  Cleric’s Prowler Pants
  Berserker’s Prowler Pants

I made them all in 1 go, and after I finished, I checked my bags only to notice that several of them were missing. Either they were not created during the discovery, or they somehow disappeared within 2 minutes.

Meh, I can’t edit the 1st post anymore.

CryptWeaselLord, I’ve also noticed the “bleedD” typo on my charr engineer.

I’ll continue the list here:

Fireheart Rise

• Engineer Verutum (heart NPC) at an island on Fuller Cistern has a dialog option saying: “Now your speaking my language” instead of “you’re”

Bloodtide Coast

• Destroyed Containment Cell, (which is lying next to the heart NPC at Stormbluff Isle) when you interact with it the NPC says: “touched with it with a Tazer Glove”; I believe it should be “thouched it with a Tazer Glove”

Tooltip

• Shrapnel Mine (charr skill) has a typo saying “bleedD”

The Grove (?)

• [unconfirmed by me] Trahearne in Sylvari personal story "Secrets in the earth* step says “wassing the sword” instead of “wasting the sword”

• Viner Neit at Caer Brier waypoint says: “Zaitan’s” instead of “Zhaitan’s”

Malchor’s Leap

• Priory Researcher standing near the point of interest Alarjann Bayt (south of Waste Hollows) says: “The tragedy it they only kill because we’re trespassing on their land” instead of “is”
• Orrian History Scrolls located at the point of interest Shelter Docs (west of Waste Hollows) say: “The uncontrolled magic of the Lost Scrolls caused to the Cataclysm”; “to” should be deleted
• Researcher Nethry at Theater of Delight says “contentrating” instead of “concentrating”

• [NEW] Scholar Gina, located at the end of a jumping puzzle says: “Absoluting fascinating!” instead of “Absolutely”
• [NEW] Claw Honor Guard at Song of Final Exile says: “Talas Point is important here”, but the place is called “Tala Point”

• [NEW] Ailionora, located north of Oros Spurs, says: “after I made Jeek stopped using them”, I think it should be “made Jeek stop”

Lornar’s Pass

• [NEW] Scholar’s Journal in Durmand Priory instance (it’s hard to find, as there is no indication that there is an entrance to a mini-dungeon there) has this written in it: “eating a Inquest agents”, “a” should be deleted

Citadel of Flame

• [NEW] Scholar Magg says: “combineing” instead of “combining”
• [NEW] Scholar Magg says: “procedd” instead of “proceed”
• [NEW] Scholar Magg says: “a charge that’ll remove destroy a wall”, it should be either one or the other, not both

Personal Story

• In “My Story” tab (in character window), in the step “Undead Infestation” it says: “all three orders orders to dig deeper”; I believe the second “orders” should be deleted
• In “My Story” tab, “Dangerous Research” step, it says: “the Prior’s” instead of “the Priory’s”
• “Temple of the Forgotten God”, Trahearne says: “They say we helped tempered grief and sadness with pride and inspiration”; I think it should be “temper”

• [NEW] same step, Mira says: “anwhere” instead of “anywhere”

Updated 1st post with:
4 new entries in Fields of Ruin
4 new entries in Iron Marches
1 new entry in Items

@Dortmunder
I’ve just read what Gatekeeper Rionna says and I’ve found no errors. Maybe you could specify which part is weird for you?

Updated with Fields of Ruin and Items.

An update on my bugged cooldown problem, after 2 more levels and 2 more points spent in Inventions, the issue disappeared.

There’s a bug which increases every skill’s cooldown by a certain percentage. The skill’s look as if they were off cooldown, but I can’t use them for a few more seconds.

I’ve done some testing, here are the results:
Skill —-—————— Cooldown — Bugged Cooldown — Difference
Poison Dart Volley --——— 10 —-————— 13 —-———— +3
Static Shot——————— 15 —-————— 19 —-———— +4
Magnetic Inversion —-—— 30 —-————— 35 —-———— +5
Static Shield —-————— 40 —-————— 47 —-———— +7
Elixir H —-——————— 25 —-————— 31 —-———— +6
Elixir S —-———————- 60 —-————— 71 —-———— +11
Elixir B —-———————- 40 —-————— 47 —-———— +7
Toss Elixir U —-————— 60 —-————— 70 —-———— +10
Acid Bomb —-—————- 15 —-————— 19 —-———— +4
Napalm —-——————— 30 —-————— 38 —-———— +8
Warband Support (charr)— 240 —-————- 297 —-———— +57 (!!!)

It seems that the longer the cooldown the longer the bugged cooldown is.

I’ve created a new lvl1 engineer and the cooldown on Elixir H was correct.

I took all of my gear off and it didn’t help. So my conclusion is that it must be a trait bug. I’ve changed all the major traits — no difference. I think it’s one of the minor traits, but I don’t want to waste gold experimenting. Here is my spec:
Explosives: 25
Firearms: 15
Inventions: 7
Alchemy: 10
Tools: 0

edit:
@LOKI: it’s not a bug, you have to click the “net wall” skill again at the right time to deploy the net.

Big Ol’ Bomb combo finisher blast does not work.

I’ll be updating this topic with new bugs that I find with my (i.e. charr engineer) personal story.

• In “My story” tab at the Hero panel, the description of the step “Misplaced Faith” says “but we did manage to save the hostage”. This is not true. My charr father was angry that his warband friend died.
• Dishonorable Discharge step; Rytlock’s dialog options in the arena do not show up for my group mate, while every other NPC’s there do
• Dishonorable Discharge step; there is no sound of Rytlock talking during the cutscene at the arena
• Graveyard Ornaments step; starting conversation between 3 NPCs (Scholar Yahala Scribepaw, Korukhan the Blacksmith, Crusader Gahn): 2 of them are standing farther off while all 3 are talking to eachother; (might be a 1 time bug or it might be intended)

My pleasure, Furlock
I was surprised that there was no such thread yet.

Opening post updated with:

• Vigil Crusader
• Historian Jinell
• Mail from Historian Jinell
• Historian Cerin

Kessex Hills

• Fisherman Hugorn (Triskell Quay at Viathan’s Arm lake), when interacted with, has a female’s voice
• Dalles (same place), has a male’s voice; maybe that’s intended, but when they speak to eachother, they have normal voices

Blazeridge Steppes

• Sera Singeaxe [Scout] at Steeleye Span near the heart doesn’t play sound when showing the map

Harathi Hinterlands

• soldiers in Seraph’s Landing don’t accept food for the heart quest

Here are some typos that I have found so far:

Kessex Hills

• Fisherman Hugorn in Triskell Quay (Viathan’s Arm lake) says: “hom,e” (6.09.2012)

Gendarran Fields

• Sheriff Kaargoth Bloodclaw (a heart NPC) near Junction Haven Waypoint says: “Hoelbrek” instead of “Hoelbrak” [the heart must not be completed, otherwise you can’t talk with him too much, as he only will sell you stuff for karma] (6.09.2012)

Harathi Hinterlands

• Lieutenant Pickins at Seraph’s Landing Waypoint says: “toops” instead of “troops” [heart must not be completed to see this] (6.09.2012)

Blazeridge Steppes

• Sentinel Scout Liharn (a heart NPC) in Relliatus Canyon says: “stays out Inquest” instead of “stays out of Inquest” [heart must not be completed] (6.09.2012)
• Vigil Crusader at Guardian Stone Waypoint says: “Kralkatorric’s” instead of “Kralkatorrik’s” (7.09.2012)
• Historian Jinell (heart NPC) at Refuge Sanctum Waypoint says: “and and” (7.09.2012)

• Historian Cerin at Refuge Sanctum Waypoint during the event “Collect artifacts from Serenity Temple for Cerin” says: “Adelburn’s” instead of “Adelbern’s” (7.09.2012)

Plains of Ashford

• Snarl Backdraft (charr personal story; Ghostbore Artillery step) shouts to the approaching Zemzer Undercut: “Yes, we can, Zemser” (6.09.2012)

Fields of Ruin

• Centurion Gristleback (near the heart at Tenaebron Lake); there is a dialog option (only for charr, I think) saying: “So, how’s you draw this assignment?” Strange grammar for me, but english is not my first language, so I might be wrong. (9.09.2012)
• Krange Lodefinder (heart NPC) at Varim Hold Outpost says “up to the us” instead of “up to us” (9.09.2012)
• Same NPC also says “He’s set up capacitors at key location on in the area”. I think “on” should be deleted. (9.09.2012)
• The description of the heart quest “Aid the researchers in their study of the Brand” (also at Varim Hold Outpost) says: “capsitors” instead of “capacitors”; and the items on the ground are named “Experimental Capasitor” instead of “Experimental Capacitor” (9.09.2012)
• Traveling Priestess at Secluded Glen says “Dagger of Khan-Ur” which may be correct, although in most places it’s called “Claw of Khan-Ur” and is described as a weapon with 2 blades at the front and 2 at the back, which doesn’t sound like a dagger. (9.09.2012)
• Worker at Dragonrot Domains has a wrong dialog option at the beginning. His first line is “Grab a pickaxe or get out of the way.” to which we can respond “Important how?” which has nothing to do with what he said. This dialog option is later used correctly when he talks about something being important. (9.09.2012)
• Marghel Talekeeper at Mithric Cliffs says: “The love hearing about” instead of “They love hearing about” (9.09.2012)
• Separatist Marksman, who I’ve found standing at the bottom of a mountain at Hunter’s Gorge (north of vista) has 2 question marks, one at the end of the sentence, and the other in a new line. (12.09.2012)
• Fallen Angel Raquel in Ebonhawke at Defender’s Field (cemetery) says: “but they people treat us as outsiders” instead of “the people” (12.09.2012)
• Commander Varalyn (heart NPC) in Lion’s Arch in his mail to us writes: “burden on on our city” (12.09.2012)
• Book “The Founding: Vol III” in Ebonhawke has Adelbern’s name written as “Adelburn” (12.09.2012)

Iron Marches

• Hazen Scalebrush at Champion’s Shield, standing near a heart NPC, says: “The Iron Legion struck and took our their shaman” instead of “took out their shaman” (12.09.2012)
• Legionnaire Sharpshot at Champion’s Shield says: “He’s in command of several warbands are here”, I believe “are” should be deleted (12.09.2012)
• Legionnaire Sleekfur at Soldier Mesa: one of the dialog options says “fiight” (12.09.2012)
• Sentinel Jaggedcalw at Viper’s Run Waypoint (The Granite Fort subzone); dialog option: “Why aren’t the sentinels handing this” instead of “handling” (12.09.2012)

Items

• Hamburger, Cheeseburger, White Cake and most likely all other consumables which give 10% (not 10) experience have a typo that says “experiance” (7.09.2012)
• Ebonhawk Ceasefire Agreement which is sold by Vanguard Lieutenant Viles (heart NPC) at Ebonhawke Delegation camp (Warrior’s Crown) has a note saying: “putting a pause a war” instead of “putting a pause to war” (9.09.2012)
• Superior Rune of Grenth in it’s tooltip says: “When you us a healing skill” instead of “use”

Are we listing typo errors too? If so, then there’s a typo in the tooltip of Shrapnel Mine (Charr); it says: “bleedD”
