Guild Wars 2

So something weird happened today. I was doing dailies and came back to DR to sell off my loot. However when I right clicked>sell at tp, I got an “Account Verification” window. It had suggestions to what I could do to verify my account. One was upgrade to HoT and the other was something else I forgot. They both had a big green checkmark and said my account was satisfied or something. There was only an Okay button. I clicked it. Everything on my sell list was greyed and had a lock icon. I got the same result from opening the TP from an npc, hotkey, and icon. I could buy things from the TP but I couldn’t sell anything. Someone asked if I was a ftp player, but I was using map chat when it happened, which means that my account wasn’t entirely restricted.

Funny thing though. I have HoT and have been playing the game for four years. I was starting to freak out because I thought my account got flagged for something I didn’t do.

I decided to restart the game to see if the issue would go away. It did. My TP was perfectly normal and I can sell/buy things like I should be able to. Since the problem fixed itself and I couldn’t make it happen again, I didn’t report a bug/submit a ticket. I just thought it was odd (and slightly concerning) that my game would bug out like that. I just hope the bug doesn’t happen again and permanently, and I will have to put in a ticket.

Has anyone else had this bug happen to them? Was it one time, or did it get stuck and you had to get tech support to fix it?

I had that same problem as well. I would enter LA, first the city would load, finish, than jump back to the loading screen again. Meanwhile, the cinematic would “play” during the second loading screen, and end right when loading finishes. I would hear the cinematic music play but be staring at the load art, and not see any of the video at all or catch a one-second clip of the very end. I’ve tried entering in with three of my characters but all have the same result.

I have a HDD, and a 15 Mbps connection speed if it means anything.

Is there an NPC or anything that’ll let you rewatch the cinematic? If not, please add one and fix the bug for other players that may experience this in the days to come.

UPDATE: I logged out and letting the client completely download/install the update before starting the game. I entered LA with another character of mine and was able to watch the video. It may or may not be the issue, but not completing the download before logging in might prevent the cinematic from properly playing.

There’s already a thread on this.

Same with the map I was on. Also, something seemed to be wrong with the launch pads. About half the people using them came down dead when they landed. Killed me twice. My map was doing well, but on the last defense phase I used the southernmost pad, died, WP to Brooloonu, and all of sudden North battery failed costing us the entire event.

This was the only Teq event I’ve done today so I can’t say if it is a reoccurring bug or just a freak occurrence. However, other people I’ve talked to have mention glitching occurring during their event as well (regardless on whether they failed/succeeded).
