Guild Wars 2 Dev Tracker

Bug Fix: Fixed a client crash in Skywatch Archipelago.

Oh noooo! We're working on getting it through the pipeline as quickly as we can, I promise!

Hi all, I'm so sorry you're running into this! To let you know what's going on behind the scenes: We've found the cause of the issue and are working on a two-part solution. We're getting one change live ASAP to make it stop happening so no additional players are affected--you will not need to restart your game client for this one. We're also working on a second update that will fix the issue entirely and un-stick those of you who have already been impacted. That second update will go live in a hotfix as soon as possible today. Thanks for flagging this issue and for being patient while we get it sorted out!

We're currently investigating to see why Frode is getting stuck again. Once we track down the issue we'll work on getting a fix implemented as soon as we can!

That's odd. 😕 Sorry about that, I'm looking into it.

Nope! 😉

Here's an early look at the Lonely Tower fractal, live on May 21! Immediately following the foundation of the Astral Ward, Eparch finally returned to Tyria to strike back against Isgarren's "betrayal"–this time, with a full entourage. Help Isgarren, Mabon, and Dagda navigate the crumbling halls of the Wizard's Tower and push the Kryptis back where they came from.

We've got another sneak peek of the May 21 game update for you--see what's new in the Wizard's Vault starting next week!

Next week's game update includes Tier 2 of Obsidian legendary armor, and we've got a first look at it today!

Our latest studio update is live to tell you about the next major update for Secrets of the Obscure, WvW and PvP updates, schedule of upcoming festivals and bonus events, the next skills and balance update, and more! Read the news post here!

You may have noticed some changes to the appearance of certain pieces of Obsidian legendary armor. We've been working on some updates to several armor pieces in response to your feedback: Asura medium helm: Added cutouts for the ears Charr heavy helm: Reshaped to better accommodate charr ears and horns Charr medium and light pants: Updated to improve the fit on the tail Charr heavy boots: Updated for a better fit on charr claws. Our plan was to ship these to you in an upcoming game update, but they went live a bit earlier than planned. Since they were finalized and ready to go, we're going to leave them as is. Thank you as always for your feedback, and enjoy the early update!

I moved this to the bugs forum--I checked and it's not something we removed deliberately, so we're looking into it. Sorry this is happening!

Thanks everyone for jumping in and offering to help. @WickedRabies.7036, hope you got your mastery!

Thanks to all of you for flagging this issue, and thanks to the mods for merging the threads and pointing me in this direction! I asked someone to look into this!

A little belated, but thank you for taking a bit of time to share that you are enjoying this setup! I shared this with the Live Team too.
