Thanks. I'll try again today to see if it works, but I also haven't seen any of my other characters in the homestead area when they've logged off in there, so maybe it is someting with my account.

Hello, all. I could swear I was able to log characters out in my homestead and they'd still be there when I logged in later. Now, though, I log back in wherever I was before entering the homestead. Is this a bug that was (re)introduced in a patch? Something that just happens time to time? Or am I not logging out "correctly" to leave my character in there? Thanks.

I came to the forums to post exactly this. A friend was running the Home Sweet Home chapter and was stalled at the bed crafting step because the mastery hadn't yet been trained. None of the rest of us has issues because we'd completed the chapter before the patch changed requirements. As things stand now it is a very messy and frustrating story step. Either they need to make the Mastery a requirement noted in the story journal like Spear, or (and this would be my preferred fix) make the traditional bed recipe not require any crafting level. Either give it pre-Novice status as part of the story/tutorial, or give the player 1 point in crafting for talking to Deft Lahar and Patient Willow.

Thank you for the update. I ended up needing to hit Agree for a livestream, so it is good to know I only re-agreed to what was already there. 🙂

Same. I'll hold off until it stops asking (at which point I guess the 2023 version is still current) or we hear from ANet about an update.

ANet seems to be looking into it. Here's hoping for a fix (that does not break something else 🙂) soon.

Logging in today, I get a prompt to accept the User Agreement and Privacy Policy again. Problem is, those pages seem to have vanished. I would guess something was updated, necessitating the new prompt, but I'm one of those crazy people who actually wants to see what I'm agreeing to. So I'm stuck until the documents are accessible.

Has it even been acknowledged as a bug by the devs? It is bad enough the rift hunting grind was used in place of "real" story content, but the mechanics of it still feel like they did not spend nearly long enough in the oven. I'm not even sure the issue of certain zones not counting properly for rift achievements was fixed.

Yes. Thank goodness no PvE players were affected at all. /s

And, more importantly, people who have mounts from these other expansions have the ability to buy mount skins in the store. If it were just the basic mount look and skin purchases were still locked behind PoF, that would not be great, but at least there would be some argument. Or if the store has a warning that skins are undyeable without PoF, at least people would know. The way it looks, though, is players without PoF can still buy mount skins, THEN discover they have no way to change the dye colors.

Same. I *can* play more carefully while it is disabled, but blocks and distortion have been the anchor of my survivability with Mesmer from day 1. It might take longer than a week just to train my brain to do things differently, so I'd rather wait it out over on a different character.

This is crazy. Does it say anywhere in the PoF purchase that the ability to dye mounts is a feature ONLY of this expansion? Does it say in any of the other expansion materiels that dying mounts is NOT included? Is there any warning in the store that purchased mount skins are not able to be dyed unless you own PoF? I *think* the answer to all of the above is 'no'. If that is not the case, maybe @Rubi Bayer.8493can point us in the right direction for where the information is given to customers. I really thought this was going to turn out to be a bug. Bad form, ArenaNet. I hope this is reconsidered. Soon.

Mention the skill being disabled? this is where I saw it:

Has it been this way since Season 1 came back? I did the achievement way back when, but I've had the markers back on the map since the return.

It might be referring to the Ley Line Acclimation in the Flight Training mastery for Secrets of the Obscure. This is a new one that lets you use ley lines with the griffon and skyscale mounts. But yes, those pop-up alerts are VERY annoying when you can't make them go away. This one in particular sounds like it will be an annoyance for anyone using leylines with gliding if it really is alerting on the SotO mastery. If they are really worried about people forgetting what a feature is for, maybe they can at least make it so when an alert is dismissed you can have it not pop up again that week or something.
