Mardukar.8327 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 This has happened to multiple players, it keeps returning and it doesn't get FIXED. With PoF coming out it is going to get harder by default to find parties to do the painstakingly long final mission of HoT (Hearts and Minds). However when you find a full party - thank the Six - and you get blown OUT of the mission because you use the Updraft you have to...Is this that much trouble to fix? I'm not a Dev so I don't understand but some feedback would be pleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Healix.5819 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 That happens when you lag. Gliding is handled client side, so when you touch an updraft, the server tells you to propel upwards. The problem is, when you leave an updraft from your perspective, the server still needs to tell you to stop and thus you continue until that happens, which is how you can fly into space. In this case, the boundary is so close that even a slight delay will cause you to hit it. Actually fixing it would require some work, but the much simpler option is to put in an invisible ceiling to block you.If you're not doing migraine or the gliding achievement, you can skip the gliding phase by following the NPCs into their bubble.

Karmapolice.4193 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 This just happened to me. What a flippin' embarrassing mess of story instance. Why are there no checkpoints in story instances still? For a game that puts so much emphasis on its story things like this are unacceptable. Maybe if the game gave me more than half a second to react to this bug, I could've done something about this. Now I get to do the other 2 boss fights again. Hooray, those are so enjoyable.

YuckaMountain.3786 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 This happened to me yesterday, I had a nice team and all went fine until the first updraft phase and I was shot to the air faster than the rocket that went to the moon without any chance to react. I suddenly found myself in the lobby instance without any chance to join the team inside the story and all the things I wanted to accomplish were not done. Is it possible to fix this bug or could you at least make some other way to get the order back items? As for the flying achievement in the story I am not sure if it even can be completed with the updrafts being as they are now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyth.6714 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 You really need to put in an invisible ceiling for this mission. The fact that there are achievements regarding the gliding part is bad enough, but getting booted out of the instance completely is just irritating and time consuming. Either shove a ceiling in, or take out the achievements.I had left this because of this reason, and then today realised it still having this issue. Pain in the rear end.

Llethander.3972 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 If this is similar to what I experienced the last time I did Hearts and Minds then it is not to do with lag perse. It may be linked, however, to desynchronization from the server which is similar, though not the same as, lagging in that it is typically caused by packet loss somewhere during the data transmission from the server to the client. Suffice it to say, there is something funky that occasionally happens with updrafts, though I have only actually had it happen when in a group with other players. Any time I have done the mission solo I have not experienced this.https://image.ibb.co/krc1ab/gw027.jpghttps://image.ibb.co/fESZvb/gw028.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonjelly.3742 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Bumping this up. I just encountered this bug during the second updraft phase and got fired up so blasted quick I had no chance whatsoever to react. I was solo, and ping sitting at 99.

YuckaMountain.3786 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 As a fix I suggest that the height of the updrafts in the instance should be fixed to certain height that is below the maximum height of the instance thus preventing people being blasted through the "roof" of the story and thus being booted out. At this moment the updraft height in the story seems to be near infinite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelloggs.3985 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 omg that happened to me just now - jesus - i played solo for god knows how long just to get blown out of bounds. im so angry right now, i cant believe this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephalem.1458 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 This happened to one of the people in my group last night! How about that ceiling, AN? Also, the NPCs keep disappearing on everyone's screens and we have to use tab targeting to find them (unless they find us first). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raykor.6723 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Hey Nephalem, I think that was me! Did you guys end up completing Migraine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmork.2576 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 it happened to me 3 times (yes..) in November on the same alt... It's kind of discouraging - to try the same instance for so many times and be kicked out of it by some bug... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerb.1352 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Just happened to me "take to the skies" then you have to start over because you get booted back to the start thank you for wasting my time ArenaNet :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YuckaMountain.3786 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Can we have any official response for this topic? People have even suggested fixes for this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raykor.6723 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 After several weeks, I was finally able to find another group willing to give this a try. We made it to the final boss and once again, a player was ejected from the instance because of the updraft bug. It wasn't me this time but as luck would have it, it was the player that started the instance so the rest of us received a message saying that the instance owner had left and we were all booted out.This bug has been confirmed by ANET in a support ticket. It has been around for years. Some players have suggested adding an invisible ceiling as a possible fix. Can we get an official comment on this suggestion? Is there some reason why an invisible ceiling would not work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YuckaMountain.3786 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 If it is not feasible to make invisible ceiling, then how about just limiting the updraft height to some reasonable amount that you cannot possibly be booted out because of it? Some sort of response would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillis.9473 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 5 hours of struggling with Migraine, take the mandatory updraft and get booted from the instance. This is the final mission in expansion and a bear to grind through. Kicking a player near the end because of a bug is really unacceptable. You need to fix this.

anigunner.7513 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Yea... guess what happend to me? After all the "enjoyable" bossfights, the updraft bug got me too. How long is this expansion out A-Net? How long do you need to fix such an gamebraking bug? Ohhhh, i understand. It is MUCH more important to create the same grindquest ala "living story" over and over again, and the new stuff for the shop. You already got my money for HoT, so it is not important anymore. I´m so fucking mad right now, how hard can it be to playtest your stuff BEFORE releasing it? This is just poor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raykor.6723 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Fixed a bug in which players could be launched into outer space when gliding into an updraft in the "Hearts and Minds" chapter of Heart of ThornsThank you, ANET. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaiABolical.1295 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 raykor.6723raykor.6723 was that a genuine bug fix notice? If so it was a bit premature. Just happened to me on February 11th, same issue as before, shot into outer space on an updraft! Isn't it about time this was fixed? It's not even as if that part of the instance is FUN!

redfox.6910 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Same thing happened to me 2 days ago while helping a friend with her story, I was kicked from the instance in the gliding part. She fortunately was able to complete it but took a while to solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
