Guild Wars 2 Dev Tracker

We are aware that some players are experiencing connectivity issues with Guild Wars 2. We are working on a solution now and will try to post an update when we have more information.

Bug Fix: Consumable Halloween foods will no longer transform players during combat.

Bug Fixes: Fixed a bug that could prevent Magister Tassi from offering players her Stopped Clock Tower miniquest if they had previously completed a Daily Fractal during Halloween. To ensure stuck players can talk to Tassi, miniquest progress will be reset for all players, but achievement progress will be preserved. Fixed a client crash in the Ascent to Madness dungeon when shader quality was set to Low.

Hey all, I'm sorry this is happening! We've been looking into this, and we've got a fix. We're working on getting it to you as soon as we can. One thing to be aware of ahead of time: The fix will restart Tassi's mini-quest for all players. If you've already done it and received achievements, it will not remove those--it only resets the mini-quest itself.

Good morning! I've got an update for you! As suspected, the issue is related to having your shaders on low. We needed to confirm that to be very sure it wasn't something sneaky disguised as a shaders-on-low problem, but that's definitely the problem. We've got a fix in for this and are working on getting it to you as soon as we can.

Bug Fixes: Scan for Rift: Fixed an issue that allowed this skill to incorrectly put players in combat. The Mysterious Craftsraven's item costs have been changed from Walnuts in Bulk to Peaches in Bulk. Arc Divider: Reduced the power coefficient from 1.8 to 1.5 in WvW only.

OP's confusion has been addressed, so I'm closing this thread.

Congratulations Twice!!

They're not, but I am, so I'll just clear this up now for anyone who is confused. Today's news post about Shadow of the Mad King contains a section titled "New for 2023". Today's release notes contain full details. Okay, confusion settled! There's a whole festival live today to enjoy--have fun!

So while it's on our minds, there's a bit more to it than just turning it back on. That content was released back in 2013 and similar to Season 1, it needs a fair amount of work to bring it up to where the game is today. There's not a timeline for it (i.e. I am not making a promise here! 😄 ) but it is something we've taken a look at! P.S. Congrats @Randulf.7614

Hi all, sorry about this. Just letting you know that we're aware and working on a fix:

Thanks to all of you who shared info on your graphics settings. I compiled your answers and passed them along to the team. I'll keep my eye on things and keep updating if I can.

We are looking into this right now--I will keep you posted as I'm able. Editing to add a quick question: Those of you who are affected, what are your graphics settings?

We're on it. Sorry about that--I am personally choosing to blame Mad King Thorn for this. Somehow.

Purchasing the "Sad" version of the Paper Bag Helm Skin requires Walnuts in Bulk, an item that is not currently available in game. We are working on a fix for this and will update as soon as we can. The other Paper Bag Helm skins are not affected.

Thanks for the wonderful chat, @Moopliss.9520!

Shadow of the Mad King 2023 Is Now Live! There's a chill in the air and a bump in the night. It's the season of ghosts and sensational frights. Go carve a spooky pumpkin; get lost in a maze. Ascend into madness–join the Halloween craze! A clock tower to climb and candy corn to acquire. When Mad King Thorn says, you'd best heed his desires!
