Guild Wars 2

Kind of torn between these two looks, the first will be cheaper but i like the second more. Have a feeling once i join the whispers i will end up wearing the first alot more often just because it is so much cheaper.

I also plan to make good use of the midnight ice dye.

I have noticed this as well, actually since sunday give or take i have had a huge frame rate drop across the game, but its really bad in that specific cave.

I’m frustrated that we’ve been left dangling again. This is a MAJOR issue blocking progress for hundreds of people. I thought we would have more information on this bug by now, and all the people who can’t continue their story right now (and haven’t been for a while now, with no fix in sight) are entitled to it.

I really agree, its getting pretty frustrating. I know they have a lot on their plate with everything going on but i kind of feel like i cant even play the game anymore. I tried leveling up a reroll of my main but just cant get into it, and alts don’t work because they aren’t the class i want to be playing.

As a side note, for those of us that got skipped when we selected our order, does character log in screen show that you joined your order? Mine doesn’t and I’m assuming that’s why the level 48 mission we were skipped to wont work.

Same here, just bought the upgrade and it wont let me get to the mistfire wolf. My lower level alts can but none can actually use it though since they aren’t level 30.

Character name: Xindi (human ranger, level 35 at time of story skipping, level 38 now)
Preskip was Kellach’s Attack, level 30 vigil mission.
Post skip was Forewarned is forearmed, level 48 vigil mission.

Thanks for the update Evan. I’m really glad that you are working on an update. Both my gf and I have however completely stopped playing, until the issue is resolved.

I really hope it doesn’t take “weeks” to resolve…

That is certainly not the goal.

As a recommendation, this may be a good time to try out another profession or race. My only warning is that once you reach the level 30-40 missions, you run through them individually until a permanent fix has been implemented. That, or you could avoid the story altogether while you tackle map-completion or dungeons (my style of exploration).

Sahfur.5612:

Is there any word on whether or not it will be possible to fix this issue in a manner that allows us to experience the content of the storyline properly at a later date?
I personally do not mind if I have to wait a few weeks to continue the storyline after a reset to make sure issues do not recur. I think most people just want to know that they will be able to experience that content on their characters EVENTUALLY.

Thank you again for your reply, and I am certain all people who are experiencing this problem look forward to further updates.

The designers are discussing a fix for people who have already been affected by the issue. It’s critical to ensure that a reset doesn’t lead to larger issues down the road: such as the ability to choose a second path along a storyline where you’ve already chosen one, leading to what could only be explained as a “timeline paradox” which would surely cause all sorts of unhappiness to the time-space continuum.

The short answer: a permanent fix for those who have been affected by the issue is being investigated, and we thank everyone for their patience in an obviously frustrating situation.

Guess i will just keep playing my reroll, and if the fix comes before i get 35 then awesome, and if it doesnt then it wont matter anymore.

I am glad to see you guys are trying to fix it though, both the bug that caused the problem and those of us with it. However i dont understand how it would cause a paradox (the example i understand) unless the story quest in which we jumped was in the middle of a chapter and the only way to fix it was to roll it back to the start of the chapter in question.

I’m on the lvl 48 “On Red Alert” story mode now. When I get to the point of firing a Treb, it’s bugged. I can fire the Treb once as it’s presently aimed (not at target) but once I move the Treb left or right, it will not fire.

Does that mean that you had the skip bug happen and then played through anyway trying to do the level 48 mission? And it ends up bugged and unable to finish too? I think thats the second time i have read that happen to some one with the skipped story.

I really hope we dont have to start over in order to fix the bug. I put alot of work into my character between crafting, map completions and getting the level 35 culture armor.

Seems like there should be a way to fix this.

If ArenaNet can’t fix characters, surely they can refund those who re-roll a character? As in, give us the materials we used to craft, the money we had gained, and whatever special items we earned. So we start over as level 1 again, but we can quickly re-level our crafting and have our Dyes back, etc. The only thing we need to re-do is the PvE content.

I think it is a valid choice to offer, and would take time to prevent abuse, but that surely could be done.

I was actually just thinking about that too, if we do have to reroll. I dont think it would be that hard for them to give our new character the stuff we had before, if they cant just out right give us an exact clone of the bugged character. Give us the same amount of gold we have now on that character, dyes and any cultural armor.

The thing that makes me dread rerolling (i already did but i cant get my self to actually play it) is all the dyes i had unlocked and my set of 35 human culture armor which took every copper i had. Personally i don’t even care about crafting, just give me my dyes and my culture armor and i could suffer through getting the character back to 35, or 38 which is where my main is now.

Also for the record, I’m not mad in any way at arena net for the bug, i understand they happen, however i would like to see a definitive answer stating that i have to reroll or if they will offer some kind of fix, even if that fix is just them cloning my main in some way.

This doesn’t seem to have any actual information in it, it seems like an automated response to anyone opening a support ticket to report an issue with their story.

Yea it seemed kind of generic to me too but i figured it couldnt hurt to post it.

Before i had seen this post i had submitted a support ticket and they just responded, how ever i dont know if they are saying they are working on the skipping bug its self or those of us that have had the skip happen already.

i will post the reply for others to read.

Party owner was me, however my girl friend was the one that started the instance mission. She was the same level as the kellachs attack mission if i remember and i was at least 35.

Im a human ranger with the choices of street, sisters body and then malandru. She is a human guardian with the same story choices. We both took vigil too.

My ranger was the one that got the story line jumped and her guardian went on to lions arch like normal.

While i don’t think this issue is big enough to warrant a refund i do think we need some kind of compensation to make up for all the lost content. I would be fine with rerolling if there is no other choice but if i can help it in anyway, i don’t want to.

Right now im really torn between the clone of my main i made and my bugged main, do i just forget about the skipped content and keep going or should i just start over?
Will not doing that content do anything to my main? Like prevent me from getting achievements or something else?

I decided to reroll my character but its frustrating, i cant get her face right, the name i want is of course taken by my main. Plus i had just spent all my money on the level 35 culture armor right before this bug hit me.

Hopefully they will do something about it, or at least say something definitive before i get the reroll back to 35.

I really hope we dont have to start over in order to fix the bug. I put alot of work into my character between crafting, map completions and getting the level 35 culture armor.

Seems like there should be a way to fix this.

Just had this happen to me, Kellach’s attack to Forewarned is Forearmed. It was well after their emergency patch so i don’t think that had anything to do with it.
