Guild Wars 2

But, http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Game_updates/2016-04-19#Bug_Fixes_4

Fixed a bug that allowed accounts without glider access to purchase glider skins.

It’s possible this may have been the exact bug that allowed non-HoT players to glide in guild halls. It’s the closest thing in any patch notes related to gliders and players who don’t own the expansion.

Good point. It seems reasonable that gliding in guild halls and buying gliding skins might have been symptoms of the same bug deeper in the system.

While I couldn’t find it in the patch notes, it seems that the “bug” has been removed

It guess we have to go back to telling our non-HoT friends how fun gliding is instead of showing them.

I actually thought it was a neat and intended feature when one of my friends (without HoT) discovered that he could glide in our Lost Precipice guild hall. It gives every guild member a taste of gliding and thus as incentive to buy HoT in order to glide everywhere else as well.

You should consider changing it from a “bug” to a “feature”.

Have you tried just rebuying the collection chest from Grandmaster Craftsman Hobbs? (Hint: Look at the conveniently named tab “First Collection Chests”)
I haven’t needed it myself – at least not yet.

So many map rewards all at once! Southsun Cove, Dry Top, Silverwastes, Verdant Brink, Auric Basin, Tangled Depths and Dragon’s Stand rewards were all waiting for me when I logged back in after the patch.

Can you link the dev response for me please? I went way back in the tracker and the only mention of the issue was 21 days ago.

You could perhaps just read the current page of the thread – the 6th post to be precise – where I gave the links to the posts from last week
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/HoT-maps-reset-on-me/5745957 and https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Banned/5749845

Thanks to Google, I was able to find the 13 page long thread again: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Got-100-map-completion-on-VB-no-reward/

Edit: I just realized that I could also just have looked up my own post in that thread…

Relax. My guild mentioned that Anet said there is a fix coming for it this Tuesday. Lets keep our fingers crossed and hope it is true. But apparently they mentioned it on some reddit post.

You realize that they said the same thing last week? :P

Really? I’ve been following the DevTracker for 2 weeks now (I’m missing all 4 map rewards myself): Leading up to last week there was talk that they had a solution for those people who had lost their HoT map progress entirely (different issue), and that they would solve it on Monday — it got delayed to Tuesday, but happened successfully.

Around Wednesday last week, they started mentioning that there would be a solution for the map rewards bug in “the next release” – meaning the coming Tuesday.
The posts in question from Wednesday: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/HoT-maps-reset-on-me/5745957 and https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Banned/5749845

That said, I still don’t understand why anyone from Arenanet haven’t replied to the forum thread that’s actually about the missing map rewards.
