Thread: GW2 Roll Back

    GW2 Roll Back

    The first time I have ever seen it but GW2 had a 2 hour roll back and about 9 hours of down time today:

    https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/foru...e-to-roll-back

    This is an update to the situation where soulbound items have been incorrectly soulbound to the wrong characters. After further investigation we’ve determined that there is damage to almost all character records that were played this morning, not just to those who transferred soulbound items to or from a bank. To repair the damage, we will have to roll back the state of the game and characters to prior to this morning’s release.

    No one wants to lose a play session’s progress. We apologize for this. I’m sure you’ll also have questions about exactly what a rollback means to you. The general answer is that everything about the game state, including things like trading post transactions, will be restored to how it was prior to this morning’s release. The only unusual case will be that if you purchased the game or purchased gems this morning, you’ll still get your purchase.

    The process of rolling back and then validating everything to bring the game back up will take hours. We’ll keep you updated. There will be a period of time when these forums will be unavailable, but we’ll post updates through other channels.

    Ouch. Early on in the game an error kept me from logging into my character. After a week Aneta rolled back that character. Which was a very minor loss. Though I imagine others may lose quite a bit more if this rollback is significant.

    Well, they're apparently handing out the anniversary/birthday goodies (if you had a character created at launch) now and they seem pretty nice. List of stuff here -

    Yay, more experience scrolls. If only we could turn those scrolls into tomes of knowledge :/

    Ugh, I was guessing they would do a lvl 40 experience scroll but I was REALLY REALLY hoping they wouldn't >< Also 5k karma per character? Bah, I already have more karma than I know what to do with >< The other stuff is awesome though.

    And apparently you only get to choose one backpack per account that turns four not per character

    I also thought they were quite cool. One very rare 300g dye is also ultra cool.

    On another note, they have an anniversary special on the gem store at the moment. The big win for me is the passes at 800 gems. Captains airship pass, Royal pass and the other new one. The captains airship has an activity NPC.

    These are the reusable account bound ones. I have some shared inventory slots and put these along with my copper fed salvage-o-matic and portable mystic forge and home instance stone in those.

    I recall them having to do a roll back at some point long ago, back when the game was still fairly new. Don't remember why exactly. It's unfortunate, but at least they jumped on the issue fairly quickly (from what I can tell).

    Anniversary gift time! Based on the name, isn't this a new form of dye pack? Wondering if it would let me choose from any of the Shadow dyes (missing a couple of those) or if it's basically the same selection as the ones from last year.

    Yeah, no kidding, even if it was only worth 10 tomes instead of 40. I get more scrolls than I'll ever need (have every class at 80 and a couple duplicates).

    Oh boo...really? Seems odd they would actually limit a reward from anniversary bonus like that.

    You can choose the shadow dyes:

    Score. I think granting the dyes like this over time is a really cool way to reward veteran players, although it's kinda dishonest to call myself that, seeing that I haven't played the game in almost a year now (even though it still resides on my system).
