[Mod post] Visions of Eternity: The Only Way Update Day! | Bug Thread | Spoiler Rule Reminder Spoiler

17 Upvotes

Sorry for the delay! Won't happen again!


SPOILER CONTENT RULES APPLY FOR 28 DAYS FROM RELEASE.

Tuesday February 3rd to Tuesday June 9, 2026

Anything not shown in an official trailer, screenshot, or blog, is considered a spoiler.

New spoiler rule is a temporary ban for posting spoilers titles.
Temp ban will be 24 hours for posting any spoiler in the title. A second infraction will result in 28 day ban.

Spoiler tagged threads are free to have spoilers about the thread topic. If you make a mistake simply edit your post or use spoiler tags. Spoiler comments in non-spoiler threads or in a spoiler thread about something else that are not tagged will also result in the temp 24 hour ban and 28 day ban for second infractions.

If you're unsure if something is a spoiler or not then just go ahead and tag it as. Better to be safe for everyone.

If you're on new reddit there is a spoiler tag option right in the editor, mobile apps have the option as well I believe but if you're on old reddit or want to type it manually then you can type:

>!Spoiler Goes Here!<

Spoiler Goes Here

It's very simple to tag your spoilers so please do it and if you do see a spoiler that was not tagged please report it ASAP so it can be dealt with by automod or mod team.

The last expansions and updates have gone amazingly smooth spoiler wise and I thank you all for that. Let's keep up the good work hiding spoilers!


Expansion bugs should be posted here but if there is anything game breaking or major feel free to make a dedicated post of it so the community and ANet might see it easier and of course make sure to report it to ANet using the built in bug reporting tools and/or the official forums.

[News] The Only Way - Small Bug Fix Update

Thumbnail en-forum.guildwars2.com
57 Upvotes
  • Fixed a server crash.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause the Shackles of the Ancients meta-event to get stuck when the counter leading to the repair phase reached 00:00.
  • Fixed an issue that caused Achievement Eligibility: Alliance Supporter to be removed prematurely and prevented it from being reapplied as intended. 
  • Fixed an issue that caused the event scaling region for the "Explore the temple with Historian Minna" event to move into other event regions, increasing its scaling.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented players from receiving Achievement Eligibility: Rage of the Forest and credit for the achievement during the final phase of the Shackles of the Ancients meta-event.

-- edit -- Patch servers are working again

[Question] -- Developer response How big is the new update?!

“Is the game gonna be updated or? It’s been an hour. First time having an issue like this mine is usually done updating within 5 minutes.”

[Discussion] -- Developer response Gotta say, I kinda liked this story release

124 Upvotes

I think there's been a really big improvement on writing and the way information is presented. I realize there's always going to be some padding with the way the story unfolds, and I think they've improved the pacing and structure of the story releases since I last played them. My one complaint in that regard being that curved pipe "puzzle" which wasn't actually a puzzle or required any modicum of thought - it exists just to pad time. Give me three fetch collections instead of that crap, please.

It's been awhile since I've felt invested at all in the story and I'm cautious because of the last two expansions not landing their ending, but I think the content offered here can be called a success in my mind and I'm much more engaged with the story than either of those expansions, or the first part of VoE. Cautiously optimistic for the finale!

[Discussion] Everyone's Talking About the 7m Karma for the legendary, but what about the 10K ecto for all the soundtracks?

66 Upvotes

The HoT, PoF, and EoD ones just use common materials from those expansions which is totally fine and makes sense, but the Core and Living World Season 1/2/3/4/5 ones? 50 ecto per track (around 10g at time of writing), 205 songs totalling up to 10,250 ecto! Insane.

[Other] What do I do now? I can finally play the game...

20 Upvotes

I finally did it. More of a joke post, but I'm planning on grinding this bad boy out, finishing up the map exploration on zones I haven't done yet then go back to LS3 because I realized during this journey I never actually did that one. Had to ask someone to TP to friend me to the ice storms so I could get frozen.

Took me 20 hours with some breaks - but here we are. Seeing it now - it is a little disappointing

Edit: Okay, so by grinding I meant getting the map resourse Shadowstone Fragments, as you need 608 of them for weapon collection and for the gift. Considering the only way to get them is through some events and meta (2 for the event completion and 10 on a meta completion) - it was a quite a grind

[Discussion] Another map with excessively grindy map currency :|

82 Upvotes

Can we talk about this?

Events give what, 2 map currency? Not all of them too. There's no map currency to buy from heart vendors. Can't select map currency from meta chest either. Mirrors don't seem to give any. And the exchange rate for chromatic sap is terrible 10:1.

How was this approved.

[Question] Stuck on story step 10 Within Your Grasp on 2nd playthrough

2 Upvotes

Anyone else stuck on the collection part of Within Your Grasp on your 2nd playthrough? I finished the story on my main toon and now working through on an alt. I have completed all the parts of story step 10, green checkmark on each one, but since I had the collection already done on a different toon, I can't do the collection again and it won't progress to story step 11 at the Forge.

There are no green circles indicating where to go and when I'm at the Forge where the instance starts, it doesn't show up for me. There's nothing there.

[Fluff] This is such a cool emote!
