SotO bugs list


Recommended Posts

While playing throughout the first week, I actually started taking notes of all the bugs I stumbled on at some point. Posting it here, because the bug subforum is infamous for being ignored to the point where I have to infer that some at Anet might not even know it exists. 

 

General
⦁    The Kryptis bosses' green mechanic can be cheesed by avoiding line of sight from the boss. 
⦁    If you are trying to do the Fractal Push achievement for Act 2 mastery, collecting essences during the meta progresses the optional route and can lock you out of getting Fractal Push if you collect too many.
⦁    At least you can replay the chapter to attempt it again but this still seems like an oversight
 

Skywatch Archipelago
⦁    Some dialogue from Peitha triggered by entering certain areas are localized so if you fly around, you drift away from her voice. She keeps talking anyway.
⦁    Sometimes the event "Stop the angry dwarves from causing a panic." bugs out where the dwarves stop doing anything and Vhalin can't be interacted with.
⦁    The event "Help Battlemaster Flintfoot prepare new trainees for combat." Has the same problem as the event named above.
⦁    Chests spawned after Mabon opens the wizard's tower, continue to show on the minimap after opening them when treasure sensor is equipped.
⦁    In the escort event with Elrik the dwarf, if Galene the Seething has spawned, she will interfere with the escort event and kill Elrik if not stopped.
⦁    The Kryptis rift west of the burning fortress in the skyward marches sometimes has all its mob spawns blocked so there's no krytpis to kill and fill the pre-event bar with

Amnytas
⦁    Chests spawned after Nourys is defeated, continue to show on the minimap after opening them when treasure sensor is equipped.
⦁    In "Help Zizel prepare concoctions for the fight against the Kryptis.", when you finish brewing a concoction, it says "Place the concoction in the bin next to Zizel" when the 'bin' is clearly a crate.
⦁    In "Help Forro purge corruption from the animals and return them home.", all the cleansed animals have extremely bizarre paths after using the flute on them. They're hugging pillars, moving sideways to their destinations (in the case of the skyscales), something is very obviously wrong here. The flute also doesn't work unless you are targeting the animal specifically and it does not refresh the 'charmed' buff when used while the animal is still charmed. You have to wait for it to run out and then use it again. This is awkward and unnecessary.
⦁    The Shrine Guardian chest near the Astral Ward Training Grounds is badly placed and has spatial overlap with the crate next to it when it spawns. This is an issue with many shrine guardian chests. 
⦁    The platform defense event with Livia does not give credit towards the event if you stand on the platform and shoot enemies with the SAK rifle. 

⦁    The Kryptis rift at Equilibrium Glade is a particularly egregious case of awkward scaling found with all kryptis pre-events. The progress bar fills up at a painfully slow pace and there's so few enemies that squads trying to complete it end up constantly waiting for respawns. There might be some nemeies spawning INSIDE the hall of balance, but I couldn't see if that was true because the entrance is locked until after Lyhr's escort event. 
⦁    The event "Escort Lyhr to the halls of debate so he can rebalance himself." frequently bugs out at the start. When the counter for players in the circle reaches 5, it gets stuck at 5 and he refuses to start. This event remains bugged and its chain undoable until the map resets. 
⦁    The fact that all event chains interrupt when the meta begins is very frustrating.
⦁    "Can't complete Amnytas Mastery Achievement due to bugged Seer collection."
⦁    The descriptions and hints in the shine guardian chest achievement "Fantastic Flying Foxes" seem to be placeholders that arenanet has forgotten to replace with actual hints. There's no cheesy hints and tips where to find the chests, just names of locations and for instance, 'Bastion of Strength' is listed 3 times, identically. 
⦁    Chest number 22, listed as "Thaumaturgy Park" in 'Fantastic Flying Foxes' is bugged. If you enter the circles, the fourth circle simply leads you back to the start. It took completing this one several times for the chest to appear.

quoted from the patch notes: (second post "late notes")

Quote

PvP and WvW Reward Potions Update

Potions of WvW Rewards and Potions of PvP Reward are no longer obtainable by players.

  • Any potions that players currently possess can still be consumed.
  • Recipes for guild hall upgrades requiring the potions have been changed.
  • Instant reward track progress granted through the WvW skirmish reward track has been increased.
  • Instant reward track progress has been added to PvP rank-up chests, starting at rank 30.

so if you didn't claim the potions before the update (if you didn't open the chests before the update) you don't get the potions because they don't exist anymore. It seems to reason that they changed the transcendent chests with the update, to no longer give the potions.

i know they didn't tell us in advance. it caught me by surprise, too.

I know you're upset. But i presume that you'll open chests in the future if they contain something that you actually desire.

i'm personally glad that i never developed the habit of hoarding unopened chests. Because of what just happened to you during this surprise change. I DID, however, hoard a few stacks of potions for future reward tracks (because they're not unopened containers that have a track record of changing contents (ie, black lion chests)

I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, but my achievements list is not showing up on the top right side since the expansion launched. It is not minimized at all, its frankly just not there. I checked the settings> Dynamic HUD and all of that is on always show (if that helps clarify my problem further).

If this issue is solved in another location in the settings that I'm not aware of that somebody can point out then cool, problem solved. But I have a hunch it might be a bug and curious to see if anyone else has this problem. 

Apologies if this has been addressed already. Thanks.

Do you have any Wizard's Vault achievements marked?   Because if you do, they will override all other achievements.
