Official Bug Report Thread - March BWE

If you have glitches, bugs, or spot an exploit, please, please do tell us here!

Thanks for your help in polishing Guild Wars for release.

There was tremendous lag in the past hour (6PM EST), specifically during the worm plague quest in the cave. I don't know if it is a bug or server overload (I have cable) and there were no problems at all in February. Additionally, the 'massive' honeycomb quest doesn't complete, I have placed it in the correct spot over the bridge 5 times and no luck.

I can't log on my characters right now (3:40 PST).

I tried making a new character, and it just says "connecting" forever. If you try to log on a previously made character it just sits at the loading screen at 0%.

I also had extreme lag before in the pre-seared ascalon. The character would stop moving, warp, all kinds of weird stuff. I know it's not on my end. I am kind of concerned if the servers are lagging during a beta with relatively fewer people than it will be holding at release.

After closing and opening the game twice, I am now able to create a new character. Strange

Dunno if this was a bug, but I just went through the Academy and the PvP part was 2 (3 if you count my pet) on 1... Made it a bit unfair, and the single person quit.

I just tried to zone in to Manmoor Lagoon from Silverwood and no matter how many times I tried, it just spit me back out in Silverwood.

You go through the portal to Manmoor, it loads, and when you come out the other side, you are still in silverwood. All I can say is WTF?

Have also gotten Error=40 3 times, could not connect while traveling between waypoints.

Here's another. JUST completed the Bear cloak to Little Thom quest,had the estate waypoint. When I received the last error=40 and it bounced me, when I got back in, poof, I still have the cloak, and I lost the estate waypoint and dropped back to level 5 from 6.


Grrrrrrr.

When I log in, select my character, and click play; The loading screen goes to 100% then my computer freezes and I have to reset my computer. I know it is not my computer since I have been playing since the first BWE.

I am standing holding the nassive honeycomb and am levitating above my party, unable to move, as I type this!!!

I haven't been able to log on all day! I keep getting Error=5 (server or network problem) after entering my password. I've got a blazing fast connection to everything else on the net - but I seem to timeout when attempting to log onto GW every time.

I know my build updated itself a couple of times over the course of the day, but I have yet to see beyond the Logo/Campfire scene yet.

Anyone else having this problem?

I spotted myself an exploit
When you buy a salvage kit from the outfitter for 100g, you can use it until there is only one use left, and then sell it back to the outfitter for 50g. Basically you can get almost an entire salvage kit for half the price...
(sorry if i ruined this for people, but im doing my duty as a loyal Guildwars fan =P)

I could't get across the bridge to get to Torin, a few people had this problem.

Since the last beta, I haven't been able to use the "T" key properly. When someone in my party has targeted an enemy to attack, pressing the "T" key would usually attack that enemy, but for some reason the key doesn't work. I have checked in the options and clicked on DEFAULT KEYS many times and have never remapped keys. I don't understand why the key won't work.

Sometimes when i'm playing in Arena, i get a wierd sound glitch. Suddenly, i get loud noises from my speakers which can last for several minutes w/o stopping. This is very irritating as it happens too often and has made me jump a number of times lol

My sister pointed this out. She runs her computer usually on 1024x768, but for gaming purposes (because she doesn't have a ton of ram, and not the best video card in the world), we've decided to always have her run games at 800x600.

I had her take screenshots of 800x600 vs 1024x768.

In the 800x600 gaming mode, she can't access Skill Button #1 because it is always covered by the F4 slot (for equipment changing). Take a look at the screenshot comparisons, hopefully this will be fixed for her and other gamers who've had this problem:

Guild Glitches

When I made new characters, sometimes my Guild Cape wouldn't show up, and sometimes it would.

Also, Guild Chat had an issue where everytime someone spoke in Guild Chat, I couldn't see their username. I could only see mine. It also worked vice versa -- the person typing in Guild Chat could see their own username, but no one else's.. so we didn't know who was talking. We ended up just switching to whisper mode and speaking individually with each other.

It would show up like this:

: hey there
Galatea Nereid: who said that?
: i did!

no henchmen i could find in the great northern wall mission but there were last time

They have names now (http://www.guildwarsguru.com/content...men-id1237.php).

PvP character creation seems to have occasional bugs relating to primary attributes:

Just some minor stuff at the character creation screen, this may just be my computer though.





The fingers are all wierd color, hair went through the heads, and one of these is missing eyes...

THANK YOU for info
