Guild Wars 2

ok I did some research and apparently the 2 ‘bugs’ I listed for bolt 3 have been around for a couple of months but I didn’t see them listed in the ‘known bugs’ list.
does this mean they are not being looked at yet? I put quite a bit of effort and resources into getting everything else done- very annoying that im stopped by bugs that has been around for this long.
as a separate non bug issue I think the fractal reqs for bolt 3 are absurd.

bolt 3 luminates quartz and strange overcharged quartz STILL BUGGED

that ‘tip’ is doing the job ty!
! hopefully anet monitors and chks on some of these posts-should be something they can fix without us jumping thru hoops/

thx for the tip! ill give it a shot and get back with results.

so nobody has been able to/knows how to fix this issue? assuming that there is a ‘fix’.
I guess if somebody had the problem and fixed it they probably wouldn’t come back in here checking on it.

played for several hours last nite, used the timer in my cel to try & keep track od how much time sound was down overall. ended up being approx. 54%. I say approx. cause there was a few I foprgot to hit it, but that is still a good approximation.
sound cutoff tends to happen more whne big events are going on but not always-went through an entire jormag with no loss the other day. and it does happen in low pop zones with me standing doing nothing.
I have tried everything I can think of and s few suggestions others came up with. nothing works. as I stated before seems to effect quite a few people to mostly lesser degrees and probably doesn’t effect the majority at all.
it isn’t on board sound/sound card dependent but is absolutely tied into gw2. and is getting worse.
the prob may be tied into other issues to as I have seen/heard quite a few complaints about sound going out then various crashes occurring. may be related, don’t know.
bottom line- it would be nice to know if there is a fix, or if there is going to be one. I have not seen/heard anet acknowledge this particular problem. I have avery nice sound sytem hooked up t othis & I enjoy being immersed in the game, which is hard to do with flickering/no sound. more importantly that are a lot of sound cues in the game that give u warning to something nasty coming at you.
anyway, as before- any/all help appreciated.

basically what im hearing from other people to. a little while ago I was standing in an out post in mt maelstrom, nothing going on and the sound was almost stattaco- on/off on/off. its getting anymore that im without sound more than I have it.
does anybody know if anet is working on problem? or even acknowledged it yet?

over the last month or so I have been having continual loss of sound. it can be 3-5 secs or 5+ mins. there is some correlation with large events but it is not limited to them.
I was using onboard sound-realtek alc892 with newest drivers. problem kept getting worse s ii switched to a creative sb z series with latest drivers and it made no difference at all(except for overall sound quality).
I have a fast comp -gtx 670, intel i7 3770k@4.2, 16 gig of 1800 MHz ram, Samsung 830 256 ssd. and a 2-3 MB connection on win 7 64. every other game, iTunes and anything else that produces sound works perfectly, just not gw2.
from talking to guildies & friends this is not an uncommon issue-to varying degrees. at first it was mildly annoying but it happening more and more & for longer periods and is really ruining my game experience.
any & all help appreciated
