Weekend Event Fail

The login screen shows last weeks weekend event. -- Aethmodias Talk 00:17, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Actually, they corrected the erroneous x2 EotN reputation notice and put the right one up. --Valshia 00:21, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Correcting the UI bug reset the UI.

Could someone rephrase this; it's not clear to me what it means. Did ANet fix something? break something? try to fix something and failed to do so? Thanks.  — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 00:50, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Its refering to when you log on there was a bug which reset the position of UI Panels eg: MAP, PARTY WINDOW, ETC... This bug has now been fixed. --92.21.75.89 01:02, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks.  — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 01:03, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Issues with Hero #5 UI Panel

After the recent update, the #5 hero UI panel still doesn't remain persistent when zoning. All others now maintain their position properly. => Terryn Deathward 00:52, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

That's strange. All of my hero panels were fine even before the update. My minimap was the only piece I had issues with. -- Aethmodias Talk 00:54, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Hmmmm. My minimap was fine... Somebody check for Gremlins in the servers. => Terryn Deathward 01:14, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

On further testing, the missing panels are not always the same. When I log in, one or more panels will be missing from the set I had when I logged out. Whichever panel(s) it is will be missing again each time I zone. Last log in I was missing 4 & 6. I added them, then walked through the portal to Grothmar Wardowns. After zoning, they were missing again. => Terryn Deathward 01:33, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

I confirm that 4 & 6 disappear every time i zone. I also confirm that whichever button you assign, say you assign L to Hero Commander 7, when you log out and log back in, L is no more assigned to Hero Commander 7(L does nothing), and this is the case for Hero Commander 4 to 7. 99.244.36.101 09:45, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

I didn't have any problems before this most recent update, but I have problems with #6 reopening every time I zone now.--Res 13:22, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

My hero 7 panel keeps reopening whenever I move into a new area, is that a new bug too?--Kryzz 17:42, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

My hero 6 panel keeps closing, seems the problem only happens with the new pannels as the only problems reported were with the panels 4-7 217.237.61.103 17:51, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

For me, it's weirder still... at first panel #4 kept opening, then four of the seven panels I had open would close when I zoned... Definitely something still not right :) -- Splodge of Cat 18:43, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

I have similar issues: I have the hero windows set on num pad 1 thru 7 (heros 1,2,3 are also on F5,6,7 respectively). Heros 4,5,6 will close themselves after zoning sometimes. And, 4,5,6,7 will unbind after signing off sometimes. But I have not experienced any window re-positioning. --8765 23:40, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

(Reset indent) Fwiw, my hero panel #6 reopens every time I zone. 66.170.212.17 00:50, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

With me it's heroes 4 & 6. Their (and only theirs) panels get closed every time I re-zone. - VileLasagna 02:03, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Actually its 4 & 6 close(if they were open) and 5 & 7 open(if they were close). 99.244.36.101 05:06, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

I have the same problem as a person above me, each time I move into a new area, hero panel 7 opens. 93.103.136.57 18:12, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

(sigh) Today, after new login a rezone causes hero panels 4, 5, and 6 to close, and 7 to open. It seems to continue like this when I relog, ie not random. I guess it could be worse. 66.170.212.17 22:23, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Wonder when they'll fix it...it's just 1 wrong line of code that they copy pasted to all the new panels when making them lol... btw, MM UI also disappears everytime you zone(not "no minions after you zone", the MM UI really closes). Someone should probably contact Mr.Stumme because nobody else in ANet seems aware of this "easy fix" bug.99.244.36.101 04:43, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

The commander panels opening/closing on "zone" is the least of the problem here, http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Feedback:Bug_reports/Miscellaneous_bugs#Hero_Commander_4-7_Bind_Reset_Bug is the real problem with this. --Skekzyz 18:16, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

Bind reset bug is only a minor inconvenience(and is also an easy fix lol). To open your hero panels, you can click on the "number" of each hero in red-bar party tab... 99.244.36.101 02:16, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Are you serious?!

"Correcting the UI bug reset the UI."

I spent all that time putting all my UIs back to normal and they've been reset again...argh...*sigh* time to put them back to how I had them again, then... -- Lacky 04:59, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Was the party member pane reset, too? --Musha 06:43, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

That one seemed to stay put, and now the "ready" checkmarks show up for me. Ghosst • Talk •

My party chat was reset again, unfortunately. Everything of mine was. -- Lacky 02:56, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

I am having the same problems with hero panels, only consistent until you select new heroes, then the disappearing ones change. - 209.243.19.24 10:43, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Friends List

Is still screwed up. I'm not sure what's wrong but it's showing none of my friends online even though i'm talking to them --Silven 08:49, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Changing your status to away/DnD then back to online displays you on everybody's flist. BUT only after they've logged in. zzz --Silven 08:54, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

yea not getting this at all... have you filed a support ticket? - Zesbeer 09:19, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

It shows up intermittently. Several ppls in my guild have seen it. It can be fixed by: (1) closing the window; (2) switching toons; (3) opening the window. Nothing else I've seen successfully brings up everyone already online. I bet it's connected to the logon as offline feature.  — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 10:54, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Excellent work! Fixed my wife's friends list. --RoyHarmon 02:09, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Several members of my guild/alliance, along with myself have also reported experiencing the same issues. -- Lacky 20:02, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Startup error?

→ moved from Feedback talk:Game updates/20110303

Newest build today but every time I start GW I'm getting this error which causes GW to close again. Any more ppl who have this? 86.93.72.90 00:11, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Try running the program as an administrator. Got it to work for me. I notice that sometimes after an update is released windows Vista doesn't want to run GW. 70.44.204.18 16:33, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

...did you try...? --ilr 19:45, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Same thing happens with windows 7. running game as admin works.

Secondary bug

They fixed the bug I found. Soo annoying but apparently was an easy fix. Thanks Anet! Devi Talk 21:53, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Mercenary Heroes

Mercenary Hero 1 used Aura of the Lich! Mercenary Hero 5 used Splinter Weapon! Mercenary Hero 8 drops an Ashes of Protective Kaolai

Can you please fix this to make it so that their real name appears? This is getting confusing(which one is using what?). And the Mercenaries take their numbers from the order in which you registered them, not the team member number that they are(so team member 2 can be mercenary hero 6 and mercenary hero 5 can be team member 3). This gets worst when playing with other players as everyone is pinging their Mercenary Hero 1 is using "whatever" skill... 99.244.36.101 12:43, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
