Ogre Wars bug
The assault on Foulbear Kraal seems to bug regularly on the Blackgate server. It seems to happen from both the Seraph side as well as the Charr side. There are several points at which this even can become stuck including Sappers Delve where an npc may not show up to right in front of Foulbear Kraal where either the human side’s NPC’s may not show up or the Charr side npc’s may disappear.
This event has bugged regularly for close to two months. It will run normally for a couple days and then at some point breakdown.
This should belong in the bugsection, along with more details. I agree that it is fairly buggy, specially when there are not a lot of people doing it.
The best practise is to post this in the bugsection and update that post anytime the bug happens again and in what way.
Arise, ye farmers of all nations
Arise, opressed of Tyria!

There are probably a number of different areas that this could have been posted but I posted it here. If a moderator decides it belongs in the bug section then please do move it.
There are a number of spots in this chain where it can and has failed, I highlighted a couple. I gave them the details I had and directed them to a server where this event breaks frequently. At the moment, that’s the best I can do as I am often not there when the chain fails. I did notice that you agreed it was buggy but then failed to list any details yourself that could be used to assist the devs.
Posting it here does not tell the team fixing bugs that there is a bug here to fix.
If you want it fixed, post about it in the appropriate forum. If you just want to let us players know about it, here might work, but many of us would rather see it fixed.
Both this event and the Dredge Commissar, which I posted in a separate thread, were reset on this server within 12 hours of my post here.
Again, if a mod wants to move this, feel free. Otherwise please stop second guessing where this was posted as I can’t move it and for the moment, the issue was dealt with.
If it was ‘reset’ then either an update was delivered forcing the zone to reload, the instance became empty of players and was unloaded from memory, or it was not in an unrecoverable state.
Neither the devs nor support have the power to un-stuck specific broken events, but players are ever inventive, and can make seemingly stuck events reach a conclusion and continue from there.
I am not second guessing your choice to post here. I am stating: any lasting resolution will not happen here.
If it was ‘reset’ then either an update was delivered forcing the zone to reload…
Both events had languished for days and then within roughly 12 hours of being posted in the forums were up and running again. If we can use the past as a guide, we do know that devs do read and respond in these forums, including this one.
I use the in game support tool for those times when I can consistently reproduce a bug. When <this> happens it produces <bug>. In this case, I am generally not there when this event breaks down. On top of that it doesn’t break down in the same spot. I see the result but not what is causing it.
Do I believe that an some inventive player fixed both events? No. Do I think both zones became empty of players on the busiest non-euro server after apparent days of not resetting? No. Do I think both zones were in an unrecoverable state? No.
Regardless, my immediate need, being able to run these two events, was sated a week ago. But if you feel that this thread should be moved, perhaps raise the possibility here.
