Thaumanova Reactor: No WP to respawn?
Yup, just discovered this myself a moment ago.
Yea. We’re stuck as well. It says “return to waypoint” But there’s no waypoints in fractals and we don’t get a “restart from checkpoint” pop up either.
Thaumanova is very hard to do solo, and I expected it to be solo-able since all previous Story instances were made to solo. The worst part is probably the fact I just died, and there is no “Return to checkpoint” option, the only way to respawn is by using a Waypoints… Waaaaaaaaaitttt THERE IS NOT A SINGLE WAYPOINT IN THE ENTIRE FRACTAL
Smough The Cruel [WvW] – Warrior
Same. I logged back to the character screen. It appears you can restart the story instance at least.

I know why I won’t try before the first bug-fixes tomorrow (Actually, it’s because the sofa is very comfortable right now, but still.)
Dude…..really? overlooking the WP? … really?! COME ON!

Thanks for the report. We’re looking into it right now.
I ran into the same issue. Also, no return to checkpoint at the start of the fractal (where the merchants, etc are) So, no more just jumping off the edge. Just in case you were wondering. I had to log off and back on just to be able to do anything.

Uh…this is Fractals.
There are no Waypoints…
There are Checkpoints that are unlocked based on the group’s progress, but given the short distance covered by this map, I don’t even see that being necessary.
You can only revive at a checkpoint when the entire party is dead and/or out of combat.
People wanted Hard Mode. I guess this is it
Go to character selection screen relog in re-enter is a temporary work around

Do the story instance then you’ll understand.

The game is telling them to return to a way point but there is no such thing. The normal fractal mechanic of retry from checkpoint is not kicking in either.

Leaderboards would be made better if you couldn’t res after a wipe. Just throwing it out there.

If someone relogs, they can rez everyone.

There’s no revive modal popup. It just gives you a WP option and no WP. :P
10/10 quality Testing.
Do you guys even HAVE a QA dept.?!

There is no initial Checkpoint…if you die, that’s it, you have to relog, there is no checkpoint

So in the entirety of testing the story mode Fractal not a single QA tester died?
That’s… impressive.
Mh…didn’t the livestream end rather abruptly just after the whole team died?
Guess i can understand why it happened…
Sucess!!!!!!!!!
Seriously though, I always stand by devs because I appreciate how demanding their job is. Though, this is a pretty bad fail. Something so simple and obvious having such a large impact on the patch.

Haha yeah, it’s a real head scratcher.
yeah.. can’t rez… also there are holes in the floor in the mid, you fall through texture and die… can’t rez
who tested this?
[Teef] guild :>
Killed the Anomaly, only to get stuck at the top with no way to get down. Tried jumping off the side to get down and to get the chest, got insta-death. Had to log out and back in so we could get back into the fractal for the reward, only to find out we can’t enter anymore. There are still a lot of bugs in this fractal I think.
buggy piece of carp. no communication on what to do or where to go and no possibility to respawn. worst content ever to be added to the game.
who tested this?
nobody it seems
If opening member dies and relogs, you enter the lab in a defeated state. No way to rez
Anet, do you really didn’t test your content before release?
Killed the boss, got dropped infront of a final chest, and all dead, lucky we had a revive orb, bad trollz anet bad trollz, you clearly had god mode on when you tested this.
Cmon…
I am now stuck dead inside this dungeon.. GG WP. My solo attempt failed :/
40 min wasted there…
EDIT: if it was not for that “1750” tick every second I would have used the revive orb..
Someone say game crash must be related to OOM
when you read the log it’s not related to that whatsoever…
(edited by UnknownFreak.2805)
Maybe test things before you release them?

lol this i get that some stuff will slip through but this is pretty bad makes you wonder if they even qa’ed it at all
Again Anet making existing content into unplayable garbage.
so apparently I killed the anomaly but the floor dissapeared during the cutscene? and there’s no way back to it because ou guys didn’t make a wp to respawn lool
Wow… Just WOW… this is beyond stupid.
all i found was a safespot and a wall to get out of the dungeon xD gonna explore a bit until they fixed that

Read the thread, we don’t get a pop up to restart from checkpoint at wipe. It just tells you to respawn at a checkpoint.

There’ s a cutscene? I didn’t get any. Just stuck at top
An embarrassing joke as usual. But of course we got the new cash grabs in the gem store for people to throw money at this untested garbage.
You have GOT to be joking me…
Do you even bother testing a fractal you’ve been making for over 6 months? What a complete joke of an update yet again.
You can log out, then log in. WP. and come back inside.
Everyone can do it except opener. But after everyone is inside. the opener can do that.
Whole team back.
But yeah. WP would be nice >.>

before you people blow up at Anet, yes they do many silly things, but content every 2 weeks is something most games don’t have – and its free, keep in mind too making a game is not easy – but this WP thing….. really screwed that up…
Content every two weeks, in my opinion, is a very silly thing Anet does.
joke update is a joke update
please spend more money on Q/A
Thanks for the report. We’re looking into it right now.
You had ONE job anet, ONE job!

I know, and I’ve been one of ANet’s most vocal defenders on here when it comes to bugs and accidents and the living story concept what not. Working in IT support, I know how much can go wrong under a tight schedule.
And yet, I cannot understand at all how this one slipped through QA.

How do you not notice this in testing?
How do you not notice this in testing?
Because they only play on god mode…
Anyway I understand how they can make a mistake, it’s no big deal.
What I wonder about is the new WvW arena, just seems hastily implemented.
Guys, take it easy. Because you insisted, ANet made QA the best of the best. Being the best I believe they just haven’t died once during testing and that’s why they missed the lack of waypoint.
