Guild Wars 2

The last few times I’ve purchased these reagents from the tailoring vendor, I’ve been charged for more than I received. I’m not rich—I have too many characters—and I usually can only afford to buy one or two at a time. It’s very frustrating when I want to make my ascended materials and I drop 15 silvers only to receive NOTHING.

At first, I thought I was going crazy, thinking maybe I wasn’t keeping track of my coin right and didn’t have enough to buy the regeants, or some other issue. Today, I had 36 silvers. I spent 15, went to the crafting table, and couldn’t make any ascended thread. I checked my funds, I had 21 silver left. I bought another stack, I had 6 silver left (well 5.99 silver) and I checked my inventory, I had 10 reagents. I threw all my crafting mats into storage (not that this should affect anything) and I still only had 10, could only make one batch of thread.

15 silvers might not be much to some people, but I usually have barely enough to WP to where I’m going to grind for materials. If I have 1 gold, I feel positively rich. I bought the game on release, even if I barely started to play it seriously, and I’ve put more of my real money into buying upgrades, additional character slots, bank, bag, and crafting expansions, and the permanent harvesting tools. I like the game. I spend entirely too much of my time, and clearly money, on it. But bugs like this can prove very frustrating.

Okay, resolved all my lockup issues by formatting my computer and re-installing windows. Finally completed the quest.

Not sure if it’s just the cinematic, but it seems to be. The music and sound effects go odd and it looks like Mr. Plantguy is about to finish the spell and everything goes black.

With my other lockups, I tried reducing the graphics settings to minimum and that had no effect. In fact, I crashed seconds after making the changes.

I can try changing my graphics settings to see if the cinematic finishes, but I’m not convinced that’s the resolution.

No crash dump. The application just stops responding, and I have to end the task.

I’ve tried to complete the Source of Orr portion of my personal story and the game crashes to a black screen every time during the final cut scene.

This morning marks my fourth attempt. I’d waited ’til after the game update, hoping it would resolve the issue.

Having the game freeze on me constantly is at least something I can deal with, it rarely kills me, but not being able to finish my personal story is more than a little frustrating.
