Guild Wars 2 Dev Tracker

Back in June we announced that we would be developing a new PvP mode alongside the community. Today we're giving you the first look at the Push game mode–a 5v5 match where the main objective is clear: push the objective to the enemy base while keeping them from pushing it to yours! While we have the prototype of a map and mechanics implemented, one of our main goals is to develop this new game mode with you. From September 10-23, we will be hosting a beta event where you’ll be able to play the Push game mode and give us your feedback, which will be crucial to its development! Mark your calendars for September 10, read over today's overview, and get ready to share your thoughts on the Push game mode!

How people individually define games and gameplay is an endlessly interesting topic that is so subjective! That said, I'm closing this thread--everyone has had their say and it has stopped being constructive. A reminder that the forum has an ignore function for anyone who needs to use it--simply hover over the username and select it from the popup panel, as shown below. (Sorry Flowersunshine, you happened to be the most recent poster in this thread before I got here--I am not picking on you!)

Starting today, September 1, you will notice a small group of "GWMod" usernames on the forum. They are our new moderation team and will be handling moderation tasks going forward. I'm working with them behind the scenes to get them settled in and am happy to have them on board!

Bug Fixes: Fixed an issue that caused the "Help Gosta Contact the Restless Spirits" event to be active at unintended times. Fixed an issue that prevented the Poetic Justice achievement from being awarded to players more than once per map instance. Fixed an issue that caused the "Clear Rising Bloom's garden of Mistburned flowers" event to stall after successful completion. Fixed an issue that prevented the Full Bloom achievement from being awarded to players more than once per map instance. Fixed an issue that caused the "Defend the kodan base from the Mistburned creatures" event to stall indefinitely. Fixed an issue that prevented players from interacting with paranormal activity in the "Assist Ekto's paranormal research" event. The Shield Trap achievement can now be completed during all of the "Relic hunt!" events. The leaderboard rankings for the View from the Top adventure have been reset.

Hello! We've been reading and discussing your feedback about Woad armor, and I've got some news to share about an upcoming change: we're going to add an additional method to acquire Woad armor. With the September 10 game update, the skirmish supervisor will sell Woad armor pieces in exchange for badges of honor and memories of battle. You will still be able to acquire it through the Janthir Wilds reward track in PvP or WvW. As always, thank you for your feedback—we appreciate it!

Bug Fixes: The Ornamented Bearkin Claw weapon is no longer account bound on acquire. Fixed an issue that allowed more than one glyph to be applied to a homestead collection box for no additional benefit, causing the excess glyphs to be lost. If you lost a glyph due to this issue, please contact Customer Support. Fixed an issue that prevented glyphs from applying the correct bonuses to homestead collection boxes. Fixed an issue that allowed players to interact with the same cloud multiple times when playing the View from the Top adventure. Fixed incorrect fishing nodes in Hearth's Glow. The handiworker recipe for chandelier homestead decorations now requires lowland honeycombs rather than a lump of beeswax. Fixed an issue that prevented players from progressing in the Tales of the Lowland Wisps collection in Lowland Shore if they interacted with members of the second group of wisps before meeting Valiant Aria in Loch Lucent.

Hi all, I am reading through this thread and I do want to touch on one thing very quickly that I saw mentioned: The Lump of Beeswax that is required for the chandelier is not intended and we are shipping a hotfix for that today! After the hotfix is live this afternoon, the recipe will ask for lowland honeycombs. Now back to reading the rest of the thread--I'm noting down feedback throughout but wanted to pause and share that information. 🙂

I'm back with an update! We have a hotfix coming later today that will correct this. If you are already stuck, this fix will automatically get you un-stuck and you should be able to complete the collection from where you left off.

I promise you do not have to make Frostfang to get the chandelier! There is a hotfix coming later today that will correct this--the recipe will ask for lowland honeycombs after the hotfix is live.

This issue is now resolved.

Just confirming that we noticed. 😄

The connectivity issue is resolved, but we are still investigating an issue with WvW.

We're looking into that now:

This last fix corrected the issue. (And the brief connectivity problem seems to have resolved!) Once you log back in, you will need to briefly log in each character who has learned homestead recipes. This will unlock those recipes for your entire account. Thank you all for being patient while we worked on this!

We are still looking into an issue with WvW, but the connectivity issue is resolved. Let me know if you're still having trouble.

Hey all, we're aware and we're working on it right now! I'll keep you posted as I'm able!

We are aware that some players are experiencing issues with Guild Wars 2. We are working on a solution now and will try to post an update when we have more information. You may wish to try logging into the game again later to see if the issue has been resolved.
