Guild Wars 2

Uh oh, it seems an old bug is back… Yeah I have noticed that my mini was hidden when I was sure I didn’t hide it, but I thought I had just forgot it. :S

First, welcome to Guild Wars 2!

Well, did you play Personal Story with someone else in their instance and accepted progress at the end?

Hello
Thank you for getting back to us.
We understand how frustrating it can be not to see an immediate fix on this kind of issues reported. However, the Development Team is working and addressing this as soon as possible. Keep in mind that this kind or issues are complex to resolved, so we cannot assure you any time frame as to when to expect it to be resolved.
What you can expect is that there will be a fix released for the Map Completion rewards on the upcoming game update.
We appreciate your patience and understanding while this is being addressed.
Regards,
GM Enigma

Well this is one of the first replays we as players have gotten. Which means its a work in progress.

Not actually, if you go back a few posts in this thread you will find another quotes from devs about the issue, as well they have answered on Reddit too, that one wasn’t the first.

If I remember correctly, the missing rewards issue is being worked on separately as they aren’t the same issue. I don’t know much more but I’d imagine we will have some sort of update on the status of that on Monday.

If you are affected then I would imagine you would also get the retroactive fix too. I wouldn’t worry about not ever getting those rewards, there’s no way we’d let that happen – I’d personally see to that.

-Bill

The pic shows Dredgehaunt Cliffs with 2 Hero points and 2% completion but map shows clearly they never have been there (the whole map is covered and it doesn’t even show the map name), I don’t think it has something to do with WvW, really strange though.

So, now I’m curious. What happened?

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

You might want to read this (and other) Sticky(ies):

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/support/Please-do-not-PM-Staff-Members-and-here-s-why/first#post3823110

Good luck.

Well, obviously it’s not always a good idea to PM staff, but in this case they asked to do so themselves.

mulzi.8273:

Any word from Anet on this?

Yup:

BillFreist.1527:

Edit: Missing bonus rewards is on track to ship with an upcoming patch. I believe they’re doing a bunch of testing to ensure we don’t have another issue like what I’m fixing today happen again.
-Bill

Majic.4801:

that’s not how ArenaNet thinks you should play the game.

You are still quite free to play it their way, however.

But only their way.

Lol, sadly it’s how stuff has been working now… the changes since those Feature Packs show it very well… -_-

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

I meant toward the XP/Mastery bar. Of course, we all initiate XP; the numbers show up on the screen with each kill, or other actions.

But, it did not, and will not (in the future) cause the XP/Mastery bar to advance, once maxed out.

Ah I see. I meant the old XP bar pre-Masteries. Before you would keep gaining XPs and the bar being filled even though you could already be max level. But instead gaining levels you would just gain only some now-defunct Skill point.

Haralin.1473:

Completed a map today too and no reward.

In 14 Days not one word from A-Net, this shows how they care about there customers.

They gave some words, not in this thread though. Read up a few posts before yours for a dev quote.

SoVeReiGN.6583:

Not a single responsible reply yet…

They did, but not in this thread though. I have posted a dev quote just a few posts before yours and people in this thread has mentioned they talked about the issue on Reddit.

Hammerguard.9834:

They said they were hopefully gonna have info on Monday and – like, Monday finished and stuff.

No, what they meant with an info on Monday was about a different issue (maps reseting like being not discovered) and it’s already being worked on.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

I’m not sure what is causing dismay. Once you max out your Tyrian Masteries, you won’t gain any XP, just like before Heart of Thorns launched.

Not actually. Before HoT one could still gain XPs after max level, they just would not level up. XPs were still rewarded despite maxed out.

Blaine Tog.8304:

Why not let people join whatever type of guild they want?

Well, since NPE and the big Feature Packs the signal was already coming… They have changed the ideology from “play as you wish” to “play as we think you should play” >.> Just check several changes done since that Feature Pack, NPE is the clearer example.

Ok, back on topic…

zaxziakohl.5243:

Would everyone be happier if all the influence they ever spent was refunded to spend on favor? Or just turned into favor directly?

Just curious. This would obviously help large guilds as well, not just small ones.

As already pointed out, that would solve much. Also, they kind of did it, you can exchange influence for favor at Guild Initiative Headquarters. But be warned, the rate is 200 influence for 1 favor (as someone pointed above) and limited to minimum of 10,000 if I recall right, that can leave us with leftovers of 9,000 influence or less (one of the guild I’m in has around 6,000 influence that we can’t exchange at all -_-).

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

There are a few Dev posts about the Map Rewards issue. I think they were fixing it yesterday, or maybe it was today. Just look for the threads with red splashes.

Yeah but not in that thread I mentioned here. The replies I have seen was to another map completion issue, that’s the one you mention. The issue with missing rewards hasn’t got a reply in any threads, only on Reddit as far I have seen.

Anyway, back on topic. I have verified my achievement panel and I don’t see any anomaly. The total acquired from achievements was 27 and currently I have 29. But I remember getting it from other sources pos-HoT then I don’t know. Now I see you had issues with PS not rewarding it, I can’t say about it as I haven’t done PS since HoT came out.

Sckhar Shantallas.6194:

3052 hours playing Guild Wars 2, to be treated with such disrespect.

Look at this general answer I got from the support team:

Unfortunately that’s common with any Customer Support. The first replies are usually automated ones or based from templates, mainly if there is no much details or info they could give you. If you aren’t satisfied with the reply just try to insist some more and maybe you could get some more attention. But since they already informed they are already working on the issue, I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for more replies there. By the way, I didn’t see how disrespectful it was, they just informed they already know about it.

Thanks for the reply, but could some official post be made in that thread too? As you said, the issues aren’t related and people in that thread has been waiting for an official reply. You know, usually not everyone would check threads or Dev tracker seeking for a reply and searching… well, better let it be :P

Vayne.8563:

Just a flesh wound.3589:

Yes. Let’s have every single char in game a member of a huge, anonymous guild where few care if you are there or not or if you get kicked, just so that guild halls can be built.

I’m sorry but you don’t need to be in a guild of 500 where no one cares to have and upgrade a guild hall. There’s a huge difference between 5 and 500. 50 is between those numbers and some of the closest knit groups I’ve been in have been 50 man guilds

Hmm, I think they were just being ironical about the previous posts... *shrugs*

SkyShroud.2865:

i think it really is just a matter of how sociable one person is. if person is not that sociable, he/she wont do well in a large guild, he/she might fit in better in a small or medium sized guild. i have seen people who joined on later date become more well-known or popular than people who joined before, the only difference between them is how sociable they are.

Yup, the group size doesn’t matter that much in this case but it’s more about how people in it are.

shadow.6174:

I would advice you to be careful with thread bumps, too much bumps isn’t allowed. Also, it’s not reasonable to expect for a reply within a few hours, there have been issues that took days until someone replied. Give it some time until someone with the same issue show up.

I get that, but it’s a bit frustrating not being able to utilise the new masteries because I didn’t get the correct allocation of points (at launch).
There others with the same issue. It’d just be good to know what Anet are doing about it and when we can expect a fix.

On top of this, now I’m not getting map completion (for new maps) rewards, on one of my toons, because I have 100% world (or rather, did).

Yeah I feel your pain, I just wanted to advice so this thread won’t get trashed or something. About not getting rewards, it’s a known issue although no official responses so far either: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Got-100-map-completion-on-VB-no-reward (see? this one also didn’t get responses fast :S).

About the points, I got 28 when it launched if I recall right. No idea if it was what I was supposed to get as I haven’t checked where did they come from, but it seems that’s the average amount we would get possibly.

Aww how rude, Gaile didn’t say a word here yet :S Just kidding, maybe it’s due weekend and she had no chance to see this yet. Even so, joining in sending congratulations and thanks for all.

Yup, people has been waiting for an official acknowledged for the issue in https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Got-100-map-completion-on-VB-no-reward/ for days.

Tarn.1374:

Hopefully with time they will expand on the Guild Hall idea and present smaller options in Central Tyrian locations that will be more easily obtained and useful to smaller guilds.

Maybe it’s not what you meant but it’s possibly to obtain stuff or even use it as a guild place at Guild Initiative Headquarters at Lion’s Arch.

I would advice you to be careful with thread bumps, too much bumps isn’t allowed. Also, it’s not reasonable to expect for a reply within a few hours, there have been issues that took days until someone replied. Give it some time until someone with the same issue show up.

Now, about myself, I’m not sure if I have experienced this issue. I haven’t noticed any anomaly but also I had no idea how many points I was supposed to get. I might come back and report here after I check it more closely.

Doctor.5068:

What I am saying is, that ppl that complain about not being able to use GH, or the people complaining about the precursor crafting, need to understand that these new features were meant to take a long time and not be completed within the first 2 weeks of launch.

Now that makes sense. For any guild, either big or small, things will take time for sure. And as I said before, the difference is it will be easier and faster for one than for other. But that doesn’t mean one can have and other can’t.

Raedwulf.3712:

That’s a much better way of expressing your views, thank you, Doctor. Your first try wasn’t very good. As a small guild person, I know it’ll take a long time to achieve anything much.

[..]

But the OP is way out of line. I don’t entirely agree with you either, Doctor. But at least I now have a much better idea of the point you were trying to make!

Yup, agreed. Their first attempt didn’t sound good but then their point of view is clearer now.

Btw, welcome to Guild Wars 2 and I hope you are enjoying it despite all.

Also, it’s possible this thread will be moved to that forum if you want to keep this discussion, Bugs section isn’t meant for this. I won’t blame you for not find threads about this subject, search has been broken for ages now :S

Actually I can’t talk much about this and I’m not much up to mounts actually. Well, I hope someone else can talk more about this and join this discussion though. Good luck and have fun

Doctor.5068:

Raedwulf.3712:

how about you stop posting pointless threads that will achieve absolutely nothing useful.

The hypocrisy, it is real. The small guilds crying on the forums are the vocal minority. Just like everything else you see on the forums. People that are happy with how things are running are not going to say so on the forums. That is why every post on the forum is someone crying about something. I agree with OP about GH. People that CHOOSE not to be in a large guild need to accept that they won’t have the same access as those who do.

Yes, it can be true that people are complaining and stuff. Also it’s true that small guilds won’t have the same things as easily as big guilds will, but that doesn’t mean that Guild Halls were meant to big guild only.

People can choose to not be in big guilds for countless reasons, but that should not punish them for doing so and then forcing them to be in big guilds if they want certain benefits that was meant to ANY guild of ANY size. ALL guilds can have access to the SAME things, the only difference is big guilds will get them easier and faster.

Hehe, no problem

It’s so nice to see ppl attitudes like “not my problem, I don’t care, stop whining”. Yes, this is at the OP. If Guild Halls was meant only to big guild, wth then was all guild features moved to there? Why locking out small guild from several guild benefits just because they are small? That sounds unfair and stupid if it’s the case.

Also, remember that big guilds were once small. Guilds aren’t only about big groups with 100 or more people, but 20 or less people can be a guild too. After all, the game is about guilds too huh? Making stuff exclusive to certain groups isn’t community friendly, that’s what this game is about too.

Therefore, if you are bothered about what people expect from the game, why don’t you go seek something else too instead complaining about how others feel? See and understand all sides of a situation before complaining.

lol, that’s not a bug also it’s a very old discussion. There have been several threads in https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2 about this.

There is already a thread about this (https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Got-100-map-completion-on-VB-no-reward) and although I know it has got no official reply so far, making new threads won’t help either. :S

However, as showed in that thread they are aware about the issue, although they didn’t give an official response there they made it through other means like Reddit it seems.

[Edit: This post was merged from another thread as can be noticed :P]

Not sure but I heard that it can be Glinch's egg you are carrying. It depends on what part of LS you are. Someone else could confirm that though, I just heard about it around here.

My mistake. It seems the issue mentioned in patch notes was related to other issues, possibly map completion reseting for a few players like map appearing as undiscovered and such.

Zalladi.4652:

Well, the queue system would at least be less clunky than the current option of having to spam and hope someone else in the full map disconnects. A rather cruel circle. If it were a queue, at least you would know how close you are to getting into the map and you would need not spam the ‘Join in’ button any more, which has killed many a mouse.

Well, in the pre-Megaserver era there was a queue when you were put in a overflow map. I was automatic and you hadn’t to trigger it. But well, they removed that for Megaserver’s sake >.> Maybe having the best of each system could work (Megaserver + queue).

CuppDota.6051:

My apologies. I didn’t read the sticky about searching the forums before posting so I just searched with the search bar. I’m not sure if I can delete this topic, but if it is possible let me know and I will do so.

Anyone also encountering this bug please visit the link provided by shadow.6174 and provide your details there.

Ah no worry, not your fault. Also, search isn’t working properly for a while now. And your thread was made before that one but that has more replies. I just posted it here to help mods to merge threads.

You don’t need to do it with this thread but if you want to flag a thread for deletion for whatever reason I believe you can just report your own post, just tell them the reason.

Oh btw, welcome back to the game OP!

darkprecure.6129:

Yeah, that change came with the NPE in the late 2014.

I don’t know why it’s to complicated for Newcomers to see the World Completion, but well…

Yay, dumb NPE strikes again!!

Seriously, I can’t understand it either but well, it has been there for more than 1 year now >.< To OP, if you want to know about the discussions and controversies involving it or know more, and if you are patient enough to read, check the this link. More info about it here too.

I tell you, hiding World Map completion is just the beginning… >.>

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Lyssa-confound-you

I have never heard about an issue like this. Are you sure you aren’t hitting the taskbar accidentally somehow? At times, some window would stay above taskbar but any interaction would go to taskbar instead, I have seen it happening before. How are you running the game: full screen or windowed mode?

A thing that could help in these cases is using the /stuck command. This command will report your position to devs and depending on where you are stuck it will put you at the nearest checkpoint (in case of instances) or ask you to use the nearest waypoint, if any available. Just type /stuck in chat, there won’t be visual feedback (like a return in chat) depending on the case.

Someone has even reported that as exploit :S

Ok, well I could say much as I haven’t passed Verdant Brink yet (the first of the new maps) and I haven’t explored much Masteries and stuff, but I could see they have done a good work so far, generally speaking. It has flaws, of course, but it has several nice points too. If it worth that price? Hard to evaluate for me, due to reasons I mention below and I haven’t seen much to tell if it worth, but I have liked the most of what I have seen so far.

fireflyry.7023:

I’m also really gutted they restricted the veteran character slot to pre-purchase. Hope they change this, pretty insulting they used it as merely more pre-purchase bait and left those playing since launch that didn’t want to purchase before release with nada. I have no issue with pre-purchase incentivisation but this was handled pretty poorly imo.

Yeah, that’s my only complaint so far that it didn’t feel much fair to vet players. They kind of overpriced it for vet players while making it cheaper for new players (yes, it felt like vet players ended paying more, although vet players had things that new ones will never had, but even so..), also that slot was only after a big protest, they didn’t intend to give it at first.

pupi.2465:

Simple as that, Im in doubt about bying HoT, i come here ask the community this, because i dont live in US, so in my country the expansion is kinda expensive, 44,99 $ is 199,00 in here.

Do you guys think i should wait?

I feel your pain and somehow it sounded very familiar to me… or I could say “we are in the same boat” O.o

It’s so nice to see how Anet is doing to help new players… [sarcasm self-test disabled] they lure new people by giving core game along HoT as well opening it for free, but then their “first impression” and “welcoming” mechanics are such a fiasco… look what happened to NPE and now they are trying to encourage vet players to “mentor” new players… oh boy… surely there are a lot of ppl out there really willing to help, but I can see how this “feature” can go wrong… (yeah I have seen about 6 or so players running around Mad King’s Labyrinth with those Mentor tags -_-)

Elden Arnaas.4870:

re: Mentor should be a UI screen – This is a good idea, except new players would probably have trouble figuring out how to use it. Maybe if Anet ever figures out how to do decent tutorial they could walk people through getting Mentor help. I really do like the idea.

Well, they “tried” but their attempt was… kittened… yes I’m looking at you NPE >.>

Kite.2510:

Exploit: (mostly a hint since I haven’t done it my self)
[sip]

Maybe you better reporting it through email to exploits@arena.net. Reporting exploits on forums isn’t allowed.

Onijinjer.7458:

I am having audio problems in the personal story. The cinematic seems to only show the dialog audio and everything els is silent.

I have seen similar issue, but in my case the dialog played partially during cutscenes, the last part of a few sentences had no audio.

Well, if Anet had been somewhat more fair with vet players by giving some kind of discount or something this mess could have been avoided (nobody would feel like running to 3rd party stores to get it cheaper). :/ Good luck for you guys btw
