Guild Wars 2 Dev Tracker

There were some (much needed) QoL changes and bug fixes queued up to go out for a standard patch in July that were accidentally merged into this last Episode release, all of which were untested and not yet ready for Live. As you can see, that's introduced some new issues while also resolving some others. It's a shame because I was super excited to finally address all of that player feedback.

Presently we have disabled the Xera encounter entirely since that encounter is completely unbeatable. https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/45458/xera-raid-encounter-disabled

The plan now is to do ...

A fix is coming for this. We kept today's build as small as possible to prevent additional risk of potentially trying to fix a fix, and tried to focus on things that would have broad impact going into the weekend. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Ah ... okay. Thanks for the clarification :)

If you're talking about the "Thorny Predicament" Daily, fail-and-regrow is not a requirement. In order to increment this, you simply have to participate in the event.

The bewildering glory of content changes shipping early. We have a fix queued up. Same for the KC bugs regarding statue projections. Waiting game for hotfix. I'm not sure what else to say except sorry folks :(

I'd like to enable mounts in the old wings, actually. The reason we haven't is because we don't have the map art resources to dedicate to making the appropriate changes to the map, followed by the QA time to test it. It's on the "when we have resources" list.

This issue has been resolved internally, but will not be able to be hotfixed until later.

I appreciate this thread's Vervearach.

That should be fixed in the next hotfix later today. Build is spinning now.

Thanks for the feedback! I will see if we can get a feature like that implemented.

That is strange indeed. I'll look into that as well.

I want MY rollerbeetle too!

We've been insanely excited for you to get your hands on this update and we're all really anxious for you to play. There's not much I can do personally besides let you know that we're still working on it, but I may as well offer up something interesting while I'm at it.

This is so beautiful!

This should be fixed with the build. The release note missed the appropriate window and will be in the late note sections. Sorry for the confusion!

Do I have your permission to make this my desktop background?

Can confirm that there will be a post coming soon. We need to get it finalized and localized and postedized... Its full of a bunch of stuff I've previously talked about in various places but this will get all the info into one location for easy discussion. Not sure on the exact date of the post but it will be soon.

This was a recent fix, so it wasn't ready in time for the June 26th release.

We have a fix going out with our July 10th release that will correct the issue impacting map loading screens.

Hah, yeah, this is one of the contentious ones. The level up chests (even the ones that don't have a choice) are also chock full of useful tutorial information. Information that any player on a second run-through will already know, but could be crucial for a new player. Unfortunately, it would take a bit more in-depth approach to address this correctly, so it won't be on the short list of "just white-list it". Sorry! Maybe one day...
