Guild Wars 2

It would be nice to know if this is considered to be a bug or if it for some reason was changed. It wasn’t even documented in patch notes.

Josh Davis.6015:

Just to clarify – I forwarded this issue to the team earlier this morning.

Are there any news on whether this is a bug or intended change?

This has changed with Halloween update and is quite annoying – the only way to see Friend notifications is to have Game Chat on, however this message makes any window with this chat turned on unusable. It wasn’t displayed in this chat before the update.

This bug is still present in the game.

I guess it is because the person is indeed in a party. It would probably work if you typed their name into party window and clicked “Join” instead of “Invite” (the same message occurs on clicking “join”).

I have a feeling this worked automatically (it determined whether you want to join or invite) before, but cannot confirm it.

Long hair on female characters clips with shields badly. When standing it is somewhat noticable, but when the character starts running, it becomes really visible.

On the screenshot: Human/Female/Guardian with long hair and basic Shield (64c) purchased from Weaponsmith. The same issue occurs with Norn females (as they tend to have even longer hair).

It kinda makes shields unusable, since this kind of clipping is very eye-drawing.
