    First blog post! Got it out of the way, and on to my blog post.
     
    As a regular Guild Wars player some of the most interesting moments are when I find strange bugs in the game that either break the game, or just enhance the experience. For example, earlier this year I found a bug that didn't allow you to salvage items while in an instanced area, the bug occurred in Lahtenda Bog and Magus Stones. Since then I hadn't found anything of note, until now.
     
    So today after completing the Blacktide Den mission I zoned to Sunspear Great Hall in order to claim my reward. As I zoned to Plains of Jarin to speak to Jerek I noticed that I had a party of 6. Kihm and Sogolon were a part of my party including my heroes and myself. I have not encountered this bug before so I wager this issue began with the newest Guild Wars update as of December 12th.

    The nice thing about this bug is it'll make vanquishing Plains of Jarin on Hard Mode easier if you tend to vanquish alone.

    I've seen it before, so if it was fixed than this is simply a regression. Pretty much any of the missions that send you to a lower max party size outpost are prone to doing it in my experience.

    This is an old, old bug. I'm pretty sure that once you zone out it resets so there's no practical purpose. And Plains of Jarin is on noob island, making it hella easy to vanquish anyway.

    If you want to make a "Bug report" series, then post actuall... you know, bugs, or glitches at least.
    It's known that if missions force you into an area that has a lower party member limit you can have more party members for the time being, and it's not a bug. If you want something interesting to hunt for, then try finding the "ends of the world".

    I've played a fair bit of Guild Wars myself but I haven't encountered that many bugs in the game.

    @Poki3: I have gone through and done a pretty big number of the 'end of the world' portal glitches with my Rt/A, but since this is the first time I started a blog at giantbomb, and the first time I encountered this bug I felt it's a place to start.
     
    And if this doesn't meet your criteria for a bug / glitch i'm sure the first one I mentioned regarding inability to salvage items in some instanced areas at infrequent times, usually due to prolonged gaming sessions, does qualify.
