Guild Wars 2

Okay, I was able to get to the download screen, but it wouldn’t start downloading until I changed the language from english. Hopefully after I get this patch everything will go back to normal.

Still no luck after running as admin and restarting my computer.

Here’s what windows says:

I’ll attach a DxDiag.

Hi, I just tried to start GW2, but the launcher seems to be stuck. It opens the initial launcher screen where it says “Downloading 0kb…” (where I’m guessing it’s checking for updates) but never progresses past this. I can’t close out of it unless I end task in task manager. (It looks just like the attached image)
It was working just fine this morning, and I don’t think I’ve made any significant changes to my computer.
Is this happening to anyone else?

This happened to me too the other day… Power went out right before killing the last boss. I was like… well, that sucks for my group. I can’t get back in, they can’t get a replacement…
It also happened to me in a different way.. I’ve been enjoying playing Guild Wars 2 more casually that other MMOs I have played in the past.
I want to leave during a fractal? Get yelled at by everyone and ruin their experience because they have to restart completely to refill the spot.
I don’t even want to try fractals anymore because of this They seem really cool, but I don’t always have the time, nor do I feel like, running 10 dungeons back to back.

Sarisa.4731:

When the event is up and frozen, there are no risen to kill to increase the heart, and there are no golems to assist.

While the event is frozen, due to waves not appearing typically, your only options to complete the heart are to attempt to drop items into the box (the items disappear while equipped at times), or kill one of two tiny groups of Skelk right on the edge of heart range. It’s doable, but incredibly time consuming.

Yes, this has been my experience, too (Jade Quarry).
I don’t think I’ve ever seen it actually work properly I sent in a bug report last week or so, too.

helladoom.4317:

The assault failed every time because pact morale drops to zero before we reach the temple.

On Jade Quarry, the pact group is just standing there not moving

Broken on Jade Quarry since… forever. I’ve never tried server transferring, but now I’m thinking that’s a good idea!

I haven’t been able to use the trading post since last night, either. It didn’t say it was down for maintenance, but nothing was loading when I clicked on sell items.
If I tried to buy something, I couldn’t get any stats on mouseover, so there was no point in trying to buy it :P
I figured this was from some sort of server overload, like what happened the other night during the halloween event. Sad to hear that it seems to still be down

Ha! I bet you’re right! I pretty recently got myself a magic find set with that rune, and come to think of it, I’ve never heard myself say “Yarr!”

Recently, probably since the Halloween patch (?), my 80 Sylvari Elementalist has been shouting “For great justice” whenever I get certain buffs (I think it’s might?).

I know it’s not other players, because it’s happened to me while I’ve been soloing. I haven’t seen anyone else mention this is happening to them.

Maybe I secretly want to be a warrior?

Also happened to me this afternoon. Jade Quarry. Not sure what’s happening… I didn’t see any extra spawns stuck in terrain or anything. I’ve never done it before, so I don’t know how it’s supposed to work.

If you stand at the entrance to Arah, and face away from the portal, the terrain disappears.
I tried to take a screenshot of it, but it doesn’t seem to be in my screenshots folder… Should be easy to reproduce anyway if it’s happening to a lot of people. Just run around in that area.

Edit: Nvm, I found them:

There’s another thread about this in the WuvWuv forums, should we merge these so we get more responses?

Glad to see you are working on this.
It hasn’t been that much of a problem for me until very recently, and now it seems out of hand.

My first instance was in WvW. All 3 of the worlds were battling in a keep, and I could hardly see anyone around me. What’s worse was that it was also lagging severely. Other people were reporting the same thing. Abilities weren’t going off when used. I’ve hardly ever experienced lag in this game before.

Then it happened again while I was doing an event in Orr. I believe it was for capturing the main Grenth statue. There was a large group of players, all of which I could see until combat started. More and more players started disappearing, along with the mobs we were trying to kill until I could pretty much see only myself and a few NPCs. I think that’s the worst part of this… I can understand maybe removing a few players, but almost EVERYTHING is getting removed.
Someone above said they could see downed players, but I couldn’t. I could just see the downed symbol floating in the air and could try to revive them if I got close enough to it.

The only way I can tell what is happening is because spell effects still seem to display just fine. So I can see people attacking things across the room, and sure enough, if I get closer, enemies start to load. It was also starting to lag pretty badly again, and it seemed like the lag persisted for awhile after the event ended, even when I went to other areas in the zone.

I just sent in a bug report for this, too. I’m on Jade Quarry, in the Jade Quarry Borderlands.
I got both pieces and can’t open it. But it looked like someone else was able to open it…

Spoon.3826:

I don’t know about you guys, but Glyph of Renewal air attuntement never works for me. Not when I’m 100 meters away from them and not when I’m 1200 meters away from them. The skill will do its casting animation, nothing will happen and it will then enter its kitten long cooldown.

This skill also has the annoying habbit of ressing whoever is closest (I had a dead player targeted but instead the skill resurrected a dead npc that was slightly closer.)
Also, fire resses the target at full health. Making the water version redundant (because the fire version also gives you that extra boon)

Additionally, it would be very nice if the skill would prompt you that there are no targets in range to rez instead of casting and going on cooldown because you were too far away from the target.

Yeah, I completely agree. I really have no idea how this skill is supposed to work. I used it how I assume it would work, and I’ve never actually had it do anything. No one gets ressed… it just goes on cooldown.
What are you supposed to do? I wish there was a clearer description.

This happened to me yesterday… However, we all got our rewards after we killed the remaining tree spirits. Maybe there was something left in the room you had to kill, or a mob got stuck in the terrain?

Also air attunement attacks on an Elementalist. Auto attack says obstructed.

I hope this is the right place for this.
Invisible tent inside a pact camp in Malchor’s Leap:

The texture on my Nightmare Shoes (from Twilight Arbor) seem to be weird in game, but not in the Hero pane.
I don’t remember if it’s always been like this since I got them (I don’t always stare at my shoes), but I have noticed it twice so far.

Race: Sylvari
Sex: Female
Class: Elementalist
Armor:
Feathered Headpiece 70 Crafted
Feathered Mantle 72 Crafted
Feathered Coat 76 Crafted (Transmuted into Orchid Coat, Tier 2 Cultural Armor)
Sarayi Gloves 73 Karma Vendor in Straits of Devastation
Feathered Legs Crafted 80? (Transmuted into Orchid Legs, Tier 2 Cultural Armor)
Nightmare Shoes 80 Dungeon Vendor, Lion’s Arch

Notice the bottom is fine, but the top has some weird white and red texture.

I saw that message on the Cow Cannon, too (on Jade Quarry), but when I went around to the other side, it let me use it and I got to the vista just fine.

RicardoLans.7658:

- Skillpoint
- Bloodtide Coast —> Mentacki Pass
- Defeat the heroic drake blood, but there are 2 issues here. 1 you can not talk to the NPC and 2 if it worked talking and defeated the challange you still did not win…
- Far Shiverpeaks.

Note this finding was from 2 minutes ago.

FINISHED NOT A BUG!!
You just need to kill the hatchlings on the land behind it (with the grubs) then you trigger the heroic drake blood and can fight it. (kill both hatchlings first so you can focus on the heroic drake only)

Hmm i’m having trouble with this one, too, on Jade Quarry. I think it’s bugged for me, but I’ll try your advice and see if it finally works… It’s the last skill point on that zone that I need.

Stepping into Orr…

I just got to this quest and tried it today. I haven’t had anything bug the whole time I’ve been playing, but this one did
I think I know what the problem was for me, however. I got to the part where I have to defend the docks. I killed everything just fine, except that one risen mob somehow got stuck underground. I can see his name, but I can’t target him and none of the NPCs can either. The story won’t progress because that mob needs to die.
You can see what I mean in the attached screenshot. I hope it helps. Maybe this is what’s blocking it for other people.

Edit: Also, I’m a female Sylvari elementalist, level 71, priory, playing mission solo, my fear was failing my friends.

Here’s a few more screenshots. Some from my main, and some on my alt. Both female. I got through a bunch of story conversations today, and I thought it was fixed.. but then it started happening again
I also noticed sometimes NPCs say things in the world and there is no voice over. Right after they say one voiced-over line, the next will have no audio.

Interesting….
All of my dialog worked today, except for two lines at the end of this quest (screenshots attached, may contain spoilers):

I’ve been having this problem, too, ever since I hit level ~50. It seemed to be when a shift in my story happened… I think it was when I met Trahearne on claw island. Ever since then, pretty much half the lines have no audio. It just seems to be the NPCs for me, however, as my character says every line like normal.

I’m a Sylvari elementalist; shield of the moon; Priory. Cycle of the dawn, I think.

I’ve been experiencing this, too. While I haven’t failed any missions yet, it’s still been annoying to have to solo all these mobs while NPCs just stand there.

For me, it started after I joined the Priory (I’m a Sylvari Elementalist; picked the moon option and researched the Hylek) around level 40. Sieran was helping me kill stuff at first, but then when I came to the quest to forge the sheathe, she just stopped doing anything and hasn’t done much in any of my story quests since.

I just did a quest yesterday where I have to clear enemies out of the path of the royal hylek procession, and was pretty much killing everything by myself while Sieran and the hylek dude just stood there.

I hope they read this… because all the yelling my Sylvari Elementalist is doing is really driving me crazy. It’s especially bad when using water/scepter. I just keep wailing and wailing and UGH! Make it stop!

Eki.9841:

The lich sucks at aiming. By putting skill 2 on auto attack, keeping your distance, and just running back and forth (and not changing direction just as he fires), you’ll wither him down.

This is what I did as an elementalist to complete this quest (using the ranged attack on auto, strafing back and forth).
Sure…. you can complete the quest that way… But it takes forever and is incredibly boring :\ I enjoy the difficulty of this game, but sometimes I just don’t understand what is intended for you to do on some of these quests.
