Three glitches that are bugging me...

1. Bosses. Every boss in the game, regardless of profession, appears milky white in color. And I mean completely white, like a plaster sculpture. I can't tell what profession they are until I see what skills they're using.

2. This one is a two-part glitch, and occurs in outpost and mission zones. First of all, the player names and blue dots on the miny-map are glitched. Every person on the map simultaneously switch back and forth from light blue (not in party) to dark blue (in party) at roughly 5-20 second intervals. This means that many people who are not in parties have their names and mini-map dots as dark blue, and vice-versa. It's nuts; the entire zone will go from light blue to dark blue, then back to light blue.
The second issue with outpost and mission zones is with the professions that are supposed to be shown over player's heads when they are not in a party. Only about 1/4 to half the non-partied players in missions zones are showing their professions over their heads. The others, even when they're light blue, don't have their profession over their heads like they should.
As you can imagine, these two problems make it ridiculously difficult to form a party

3. I can't get into the Guild Wars store. It just sits there and says "connecting" indefinitely. I hit cancel to go back to the character select screen, but when I select a character and try to enter the game I get an error message that says the game is still working on a prior transaction or something like that. To get into the game, I have to close and reboot the program. It's like I lose my connection the second I try to get into the store. As long as I don't touch the store, I can get into the game though (thank God).

Anyone else experience any of these 3 glitches, or am I just one unlucky SOB?

I do believe I had that second one yesterday on my monk, she was loged in at hatchery and everyone was in a team, untill I looked away for a while[I was playing my favorite game, how many invites will my monk get!] and that store thing isn't a bug, it just takes a while or there's too many connections at the store at the moment[or some other problem, it's not you]

You spelt "mini" wrong in point number two. Psh, grammar.

Anyways, all the bosses that I have encountered have appeared with their auras and not the milky white skins that you have described. This may be a graphical glitch that involves your graphic card.

I havn't really checked up on point number two, seeing that I rarely look around for other players anyways. However, I have seen that more often than not, proffesion and level do not show at all, regardless of their party status.

The in-game store. Same problem, I havn't been able to get past the "connecting.." phase. It tends to leave me to rage quit out of the game and return in a bit >_>

The boss auras were perfectly fine for me until the update a few days ago with all the UI changes. If it is something to do with my graphics card, it's a problem that just manifested with the last update.

Oh, and my apologies on the grammar error, I was typing fast and not paying much attention.

Hmmm, problem #2 seems to correct itself if you sit in a outpost/mission zone long enough (5 minutes or so). Problably just a lag issue it would appear.

But man that boss thing is annoying.
