in the outpost heros ascent, people can bypass the guards guarding the huge gate where the ghostly hero resides, by tweaking there characters left and right and eventually break through them.

Zone 3 (The Courtyard) of the Tombs challenge always seems to pluck someone out with a good old Net Error=7, for me at least.

Ditto for the sin. By freeze, we mean stand still, motionless, asi if you never entered an emote, not freeze in a glitchy-game-crashing way.

When playing my Warrior, and using any skill thats makes my movement speed increased, if I run to attack someone, for example, hitting C and pressing spacebar then hitting Sprint, my character does not use the faster moving animation, instead she slides across the ground doing the /no emote. Its very funny, but it makes me feel that I am not going as fast as I should be.

And to the others, I don't think the emotes for the new professions are finished. I remember during the BWE, or during the E3 events, when some classes could not dance at all, and others only one of the genders from that class could dance. I expect they just haven't given the assassins or ritualists their real emotes yet. Which is also why having collector's edition won't give them sparkly hands.

Oh yeah, my brother who has not logged in for months tried logging in today, but apparently his client froze on one of his characters. That character was in war camp. Wonder if something changed or something?

Here's one:

On the character selection screen, where it says your character's professions (such as Assassin/Warrior, Warrio/Ranger, Monk/Mesmer), if you have a Ritualist secondary it doesn't show. I've made two characters to prove this, for the first it just says Ranger instead of Ranger/Ritualist and for the second it just says Mesmer instead of Mesmer/Ritualist.

In random arenas if someone leaves with ~10 seconds for the next match to start, no replacement is made for him/her. Has happened to me 4 times in a row.

Ive had this problem a couple of times now, basically ive been in a team (this happened in Team Arenas and Zaishen Challange) in the international districts, and someone from our guild has tried to come to our district, gets there but we can't see them and they can't see us, even though we were both in the same international district.

Weird o_O

Just team travelling to the same district again seems to fix this but thought i'd mention it anyway.

Erm, I would consider not being able to complete Iron Mines at all to be a large bug.

Wild Blow - Warrior Melee Attack. Lose all Adrenaline. If it hits, this attack will result in a critical hit and any "Stance" being used by your target ends. This attack cannot be "blocked" or "evaded."

For each rank of Critical Strikes you have, you can an additional 1% chance to critical hit. You gain +2 energy when ever you score a critical hit in this way.

After getting the updates, I was able to log in twice (with the new gui), then I was offline for a bit, came back and every time I tried to connect it would time out and give me error = 58 (unable to connect to login server). I had to delete the gw.dat file (and re-download everything) and then it started to work.

Is there any plans for a utility to verify the files in the gw.dat file (internal or offline) where any file that is corrupted would be deleted or flagged for re-download?

We locked down a major lag issue when the siege worms are fireing at us in the hall of hero and courtyard in the tombs challenge. Once we killed the worms ALL the lag vanished. in all three cases... One time it happened, and we lost connection just shy of getting too the bosses in hall of heros after 3 hrs of playtime.

Also On that note. can we get just a little more time at the end of the challenge before going back to Tombs area... Cause sometimes someone may miss one of their drops. OR we may want to open a Phantom chest. 3-5 mins should be plenty. but the 45 secs is just too short... Especially if one guy needs rezed first to claim their green item.

Lastly. In the Training Ilse, Its possible to farm faction in the training arenas... Just loose the last match and do it over agian and again. With the flawless victory, the faction adds up reall fast. Continue this trend in the Zaishen Challenge and Elite areas, and that is alot of faction... And it resets if you delete a character and remake it. PVP style. Then rinse and repeat. I got about 4000 faction in this way. Playing with the the different new PvP builds. Not that much, no, but still. Its an issue you may not have seen.
(Solution eliminate faction rewards for Zaishen training areas.)


thanks. Ingy.

PS: Good seeing you online playing last night Galie.

I cant go to lions arch anymore, the loading screen stops at 100%, nothing happens, and when I restart the game and enter the game with my character, LA starts loading, and stops at 100%, so I cant even play anymore with 2 of my characters I tried it with.

If it's not sever / lag issues, try deleting the gw.dat file (or uninstall and re-install) and let everything re-load.

Only real glitchy thing i've found (which isn't even that big of a deal) is in the AI-arenas (the ones where you can fight IWAY teams, or Zaishen elite area, etc) i'll go to set a spirit off to the right with my ranger, then when it's done i'll move to trap the door ... well I don't so much "run" as sort of "stand at attention and float sideways" toward wherever I happen to be headed ala Mursaat-style

I guess i'm just magical

Like Ingram, we had major lag issues last night. And when you're going through Tombs, over 2 hours in, and down to a team of 6 with only one monk, there's no room for lag-related mischief. The lag hit our whole team simultaneously, and we learned that the rest of our guild doing FoW at the same time also hit the same lag at the same time. Though it's just a stab in the dark, I'm guessing this was related to all the little patches/updates that were being uploaded, but even so..... not cool.

Maybe this is just my sucky computer, but the loading screen for Team Arenas looks weird. I'll try to screenshot later.
EDIT: Must have been fixed.

The AI guys in the Zaishan challenges hide their secondary profession - they all have one, but you don't get to see it. Was kind of annoying when I was killing the obsidian spike team and got surprised by a couple using Heal Area.

1: Sometime I can't receive any Factions during the PvP event in any PVP arena when I have a Flawless Victory.

2: Its take about 1 minute of LAG when I enter in an area. Its worst in PvP. I have a good computer and Internet speed.

3: No sound during summoning with the ritualist (Maybe because it stays a beta).

4: A problem with a specefic hair of the male ranger when he attacks with a bow. (I will take a screenshot next time)

5: When I finish a PvP battle, I wear the cape when Im in the chat area (Im not in a guild just in case)

6: D'alassion Seaboard, the during the last cinematic, look carefully when you run with your team. You walk backward.

7: Gates of Kryta, during the last cinematic (again), their always someone takes dmg on the bridge

Well, me and a couple of guildies had a strange district bug yesterday. We all were in the same district but couldn't see each other... It was as tough we were in different districts bearing the same name. There was a build a couple of minutes later though, so perhaps this was fixed then...

Spell. Resurrect all dead party members in the area. They are returned to life with 25% Health and zero Energy.

Spell does not work as listed,
1. I had to stand over the body of who I was resurrecting.
2. The other two party members where not returned to life and they where will within my agro bubble. And again I had to stand on top of them to bring them back.

I had a party/map issue yesterday. I was with 2 guildmates and some henchies, doing weaver of nebo out of Beetletun. After the quest, I wanted to leave the party, so that I could help others, and they could continue to explore. I was the third name in the party list, so I figured I'd just map out, to where I wanted to be. However, it treated me like I was the party leader, saying that travel via the map would take the whole team with me. In other words, there was no way for me to leave the party without logging out and back in, or having the party dissolve.

When gaining exp in the PvP arenas the Monk NPC mysteriously changes into a warrior, unless our monk was kidnapped, theres no other explanation that its not a bug.

1. Last night when I went to unlock skills at the Priest of Balthazar the skill icons were all jumbled. The Ritualist had some ranger icons, the Ranger icons weren't next to the correct skill (eg: when I checked concussion shot there was a trap skill icon next to it).

2. There is a geometry error in one of the Zaishen Challenge maps. When running down the stairs using the skill dodge I was in the air until I made it to the bottom of the stairs where I "dropped" to the ground unharmed. It was bascially a levitation/floating problem. When I get the opportunity I will log in and give the map and a location on the map.

Im having a problem creating a new character for PVP using the 2 new classes. Whenever i select one of the premade builds or custom select one of the new classes for a build it allows me to go all the way through and create the character until you are at the very end, and when you click the last button to join pvp the game appears to freeze on the character creation screen. Ive tried this 3 different times. I will wait for about 5 minutes and then close GW.exe from the task manager. When i reopen GW and log in the new character that i have created is able to be selected, and i am able to join pvp like normal. Anyone else having this problem or is it just me?

Add unclaimed items to Tombs please. Or at least give us the option of clicking a "return to outpost" button at our leisure. I don't like a timer ticking while i go for drops. Especially if rezzing or being rezzed.

People have to be 'nearby' to be raised by Light of Dwayna, ie pretty damn close. It's never (to my knowledge) used the aggro ring as a maximum range.

Don't you only get faction from the first 20 battles against the elites ?

"In the area" is a lot less than your aggro circle. Go to the Isle of the Nameless and they have training dummies that tell you exactly what size it is.

2rd and 3rd arenas in uw tombs are too laggy, and alot of ppl are getting err 7 on these arenas - in 4 consecutive runs every run at least 3 players dropped there and its not easy to finish with 5 ppl, slows the process considerably.

also at the end of the run timer seems to be broken, cos right after we killed last the darkness i started rezzing party member so he can get his green item - ele with rez (not rebirth) needs 8 sec for rez - but we were warped back to tombs be4 i was able to finish rezzing him.... it not 45sec as smbdy said in this thread, and we had to timer after killing last darkness, so i guess it was bug.

Anyway, I found out a way to make an invincible ritualists with some of the skills. And apparently, it does work with the whole team too. >_< Tried it and won 28 wins in a row. :/ That includes team arena as we; however, the skills that are used for the new classes should be NERFED TO HELL! Yes, nerf it.. nerf it so hard its not even funny. xD Well, the way of making the invinci rit is by with 4 spirts or those Buffer spirits, spam that weapon thing that gives you +3+ regen for Hp, Then cast out blood song, with the mana draining one, with fire and the lightning one. :/ Heal with some of the Sacrifices, but since the spirits are out, your sacrificing nothing; therefore your health is at a constant. :/ cheapie moves. >_<

The Spell "Resilient weapon" says it should give you +5 health regeneration whilst hexed or under the Influence of a Condition. However, it will give you this health regeneration even if you aren't hexed or under a condition.

Also, I seem to notice on the Ritualist skill "Cruel Was Daoshen", the lightning visual effect that happens when you drop the ashes happens again sometimes when the skill has finished recharging, even though I don't think it does damage then, the visual effect still happens.

Sometimes, even though Mobeus Strike hits and does damage it doesnt reset my other attack skills.
