Guild Wars 2

There is another thread about this issue too: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Pick-up-item-glitch/

Zedd.8239:

Usually repeatedly hitting the F key and changing my position slightly over the object let’s me pick up the item.

This was used to happen to me with gather items around PvE some time ago, I haven’t noted it happening lately though.

Another thing I see happening and blocking skills is on water. When fighting underwater and evading up near surface and I even went to surface, when I dove back quickly I was without skills, the buttons on screen would blink as I pressed the keys but no hits and such. Neither switching weapons solved it, I had to go out of water then my skills would come back.

draconx.3102:

Also fun bugs like the CoF path 2 boss (the big flaming rock thing) which simply cannot be targeted at all if you are in melee range, unless there’s a called target on the boss…

I think see what you mean. Once while fighting Behe I lost aim for some reason that I can’t recall, then I tried to aim it again but I was a bit close to it and targeting system couldn’t pick any target for a few secs (I tried just trigger a skill as well I tried to use Tab to switch targets), even though my camera was faced right to Behe. Trying to click it also didn’t help, not all parts of it are selectable for targeting.

Same happened when fighting a dragon during Retribution personal story, it kept aiming mobs under its feet and hardly aimed the dragon, I only could aim the dragon when moving my camera to cam from ground to sky.

In another thread someone said something I think it can be what happens here. They said it seems there is some “leftovers” of some crosshair based system. I have noted it’s true as once I tried to click a mob that was close to me and there was another mob a bit far up at a platform (based on 3D world vision). But the one close to me was farer from my screen center (my char location on screen) than the one up on that platform. What it targeted when I tried to aim? Yes, the one up on the platform. >.<

With this in mind I have noted I get better results (I said “better”, and not that it “solves”) when camming the ground from above, what makes me think that theory above may be true.

Btw, this one may be related too. After a few mins logged on I opened map and I got a black screen as background. Only icons and text over a black area. It remained that way for about 1 min and minimap appeared the same way.

And this snapshot shows clearly what I meant on a previous post. So soon I logged on my UI was this way, I even opened Inventory and I just got text and contours, no backgrounds at all. It remained that way for about 10 secs or so.

That would help a lot I believe. Get snapshoots or the text of error message (if any shows up). And yeah, I must I admit I have been having crashed lately. They don’t happen at the same places or moments for me so I don’t know if they are related. I just know I have had more crashes on past two days than I had been having on past 6 months.

O.o oh really? lol that’s a funny bug. So the message is really right and telling what’s going to happen. I mean it’s not the message only that’s wrong but the whole command.

Yeah, I was following and trying to keep that thread on top too. But whatever was the reason for the removal, let’s try to keep this one on topic and help them with details and such. Screenshots help too if it’s possible to take them.

[sub]I think the reason was some post in it was considered being rude or attacking staff, although I can’t recall any of that in there. But anyhow, let’s keep this one on topic and not cursing or badmouthing (even as frustrating as the issue can be)[/sub]

Yes, I have been experiencing that for some weeks now. A few mins after logging on all windows would appear without a background for a few secs or mins (yes, I would see the world behind it). E.g. When opening my inventory it would show only contours and numbers for stacked items but no icon or backgrounds. I’ll take a snapshoot next time it occurs.

Yes, today’s patch fixed it: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/updates/Game-Update-Notes-December-10-2013/first#post3350422

Post the screenshots here so it can be seen more clearly.

Cerberus.4315:

If the developers that developed this event wanted to have people raging at each other, well great you guys did a fantastic job, because all I see in map and local chat is players shouting and abusing each other, this can only be put down to the frustration of having to repeat something over and over again.

Siralus.4921:

The design of the achievement makes it so that different players have contradictory goals, making it possible for the selfish, unaware, or impatient to utterly ruin other’s peoples moods. And they do so, frequently. The only recourse others have is to explain or otherwise get angry with these people.

This is incredibly frustrating and dissatisfying.

Illconceived Was Na.9781:

General note: the spider queen and worm achievement create a terrible atmosphere among the player base:

• Everyone wanting to kill the event targets (for various achievements) wants to kill them fast and move onto something else.
• Everyone wanting to get the non-target achievements (clearing cocoons and jumping waves) wants to avoid killing the targets for as long as possible. The queen is, at least, typically a champion. But the wurm seems to end up being a veteran who doesn’t survive long.

People are already starting to make snide remarks at each other.

Yes, I can’t even count how many times I got angry reading sarcastic and rude posts on map chat because this achievement. I must admit I had even reported some for verbal abuse as their words were unneeded (although it’s understandable due the frustration caused but not a reason for it). In about 10 mins I had seen about 3 or 4 people cursing and offending others because they didn’t do what they expected.

Two different objectives on the same target is conflicting and frustrating if both requires a group to work together. Remove one of the objectives or move it to another target or time and things will be eased. A friend of mine (and myself too) even gave it up for a while as things were very heated up on map chat because that event. Too many people annoyed and frustrated there. >.< I just wasn’t being able to tolerate s*** behavior anymore.

In fact, I’m not even sure if I’m even going to give it a try…

Buffy.9246:

But the only thing that didnt work was the making sure it was not hidden. It goes back to hidden after you try to change it(at least for me).

Usually the cause for when you change it to show hidden files and it turns back to not showing them is some virus or leftovers of some. There is a simple fix for it around web (in case the virus isn’t active anymore and it’s just its leftover on system).

Not directly related to this but also about the cinematic of the new content… I have noted that the cinematic with a dialog explaining what happened to the tower (before it collapsing) has no captions at all. From what I can recall I believe I heard some sound during the cinematic of the tower collapsing though (a low sound though but there was some), I might need to play it again to be sure.

Once I saw a suggestion to workaround this and it has worked for me so far. When TP gets “stuck” and doesn’t load or load partially, go to your Temp folder (not sure where it’s on mac) and delete a folder with GW in its name. If you do it when still in game, it won’t allow you to delete it but some files inside it will be deleted. At times it’s enough to get it back working. Or you can leave the game and do that, then the whole folder can be deleted. For me it does the trick so far.

ExTribble.7108:

The existence of a workaround that works for some people is not an excuse to leave this bug unattended to since release. Could we get an official update on this, even if there’s no progress in finding out what the cause is? :P

Nothing else to say more than I completely agree.

That’s funny, I think the action you did to take that screenshoot (yes, you opened Hint Panel) should give you that item. Either I’m making a mistake or it’s a bug. Weird, huh?

Just to add, I have heard that annoying “pop” sound while doing Sanctum Sprint last night…

I believe the issue is related to this one: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/audio/Battle-Music-Doesn-t-Stop as Nalora said above.

Not sure if it could be related, but when Trading Post gets bugged and not showing anything (blank windows), cleaning your Temp folder usually helps. I would tell you to give it a try but I don’t know if there is any or how could you find it on Mac.

Sometimes some cut-scenes can’t be skipped really, that’s normal I think. But I don’t know if it’s the case for you as I can’t recall how it is after character creation.

I have seen this issue some times but I can’t recall where it happens and when. I just saw some blank lines appeared on chat and I couldn’t find a recurring event to relate it to.

@Diabolus: I read that all details has been sent through ingame report, but “also” posting details here helps a lot in case other people also experiences it. If they also know more about the issues you are getting they can also confirm or give more details or tell about workarounds or if it’s even an issue or not. Forums are a collaborative thing and no one can help another if they don’t know what others are experiencing.

I believe someone has already reported it on another thread and that one is meant to bugs like these. Take a look on https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Stuck-in-the-map-or-seeing-map-art-issues

I have been having this issue for months now and it happens only when I’m on GW2. I use a common headphone with onboard sound card, so nothing “special” here. Drivers are up-to-date and the only app that causes it is GW2. What was weird is I even heard it when GW2 was minimized and I had it set to mute sounds when minimized. So it wasn’t an “in-game environment” sound, like a shooting or something. It’s very random and happens either if I’m just standing somewhere selling my stuffs or if I’m in middle of a battle.

Well, you know what? Check this thread https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Garbage-AI-Targeting-FIX-THIS (I’m even trying to keep it on top of list). Everyone knows the targeting system sux but I haven’t noted if it’s worse as you stated above though.

:) you are welcome. And it happens. Once I got scared because my mini "vanished" from my inventory but then later I figured out it goes to collectibles when you deposit them *facepalms* lol

I would say same as above, if they are on a Invisible bag they won’t appear on TP or vendor NPCs, neither the “Sell on Trading Post” option on right click menu will be available.

Hehe, I have made this mistake myself before. Like right-clicking it and no “Sell on TP” option and then I was like “crap, I thought this item wasn’t account/soul bound”. :P

Recently I also have experienced this issue. I vaguely can recall it but I think it happened after Crab Toss for me too. Even leaving it and going back to LA kept the song going on and on.

Yesterday I could realize that clearer. When doing Retribution part of Personal Story for my Sylvari female mesmer, the battle song started normally as a battle really began. But then, after the battle was over the song kept going on for a while as I and a friend stood in the instance for a few mins after its completion. But then, we left to LA and the song kept being played, actually it changed but to another battle song.

Other even was after doing Sanctum Sprint. During the game song played normally (sprint song), but after going back to LA a battle song started. Then I “tried” to teleport to Birsband Wildlands (not sure if I spelled it right, I mean the one above Metrica), but I accidentally teleported myself to Caledon Forest. The battle song was still playing but then was a different one (the same for Scarlet’s even I think). It only stopped and played the correct song when I finally teleported to Birsband.

Not sure if I understood it well, and I assume you know how it works. But in case you don’t, here is the info: every time you sell something the resulting money from that sale stays pending and is showed on Pick Up tab on Trading Post window. You must go to a Black Lion Trading Representative in order to pick it up. Same with purchased items.

Based on what I have read on the posts above, things happened normally and I don’t see a bug. Maybe I have misread it.

Just helping to complement your info, what’s the OS version? You missed it there. Also, maybe posting screen resolution and window mode might help.

Recently I have realized some delay with “In combat” mode. While trying to reach a Skill point at Plains of Ashford, after fighting a mob I waited about 10 secs for that “auto healing up” which happens when you aren’t in combat anymore. Since my healing skill’s cooldown is long and was about to face more mobs I didn’t want to use it and waited for the auto healing up. On next day, a friend of mine that was following me just stopped and stood at the place for about 10 secs or so and said they waited because it didn’t leave “combat mode” >.<

About delayed dying or falling off, I had experienced it once as I suddenly lost health as if falling off but I was still near the edge and the suddenly I appeared down there.

I just wonder what bug you mean, I can’t recall anything wrong with Waypoints. Could you be more specific? Which WP? What happens there and why would it be a bug? I believe with more info it’s easier for devs to fix things.

Yeah, count me in this list too :S

AcidicVision.5498:

I have no problem with playing the game. I do have a problem with selfish players that abuse content and other players. To break this down, a level 1-15 character is not able to fight level 1-15 champions, to complete level 1-15 events, in their level 1-15 home area because level 80s just want to be lazy and burn down the events before appropriately leveled characters can get close.

And the “solutions” pretty much all break down to everyone that isn’t farming the champions getting out of the way of the people that are. That wasn’t right when people were farming Arah and griefed those that wanted to complete the event to open the dungeon, it wasn’t right when people were griefing players that wanted to complete Lyssa and tried to complete the NW waypoint, and its not right now that players are being pushed out of their own starting zone. It’s not good for the game and its not good for the community.

After reading this all I have nothing else to say than nodding with the above.

lol, I loved the request *raises his hand*

Hehe, my fault. The item is there. I didn’t know it could go to collectibles. Maybe I deposited it instinctively as I always do with gathered items. And yes, I know about invisible bags, I have one. Thanks for your help. Luckily I didn’t lose it

Not sure if it’s what this thread refers to, but I had just gotten a Mini Holographic Risen Knight and minutes later after I saw it on inventory it vanished. Simply it’s not there anymore. I didn’t even tried to do anything with it (just moved it from a slot to another on inventory)
