Guild Wars 2 Dev Tracker

Quick update on this--it's been flagged so people can look into it!

😄 I just came looking for this thread! We've got a fix coming for this in about one hour. Hang in there just a little bit longer!

I'm looking into this and will let you know once I have more info!

We're continuing to work on this, but in the meantime we know this stall is really frustrating for those of you experiencing it. Our current plan is to get a fix completed and live in a hotfix tomorrow (May 22). For now, we have temporarily set the affected event to instantly succeed rather than stalling out. This will allow you to progress to the next steps rather than trying to find a map that is not stalled. Once the fix is live tomorrow, we'll revert the event progression back to normal. Thank you for being patient as we work on this!

Update! The hotfix for this is going live right now--if you are stuck, grab the new build and this should fix your affected character(s). Thank you again for being patient on this!

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.
