Guild Wars 2

This does not seem to work.

I’m using

http://dulfy.net/2012/11/16/gw2-lost-shores-event-guide/

as a guide, as everything seems to be bugged, and i just really want to complete this, but if this guide is correct, then not all of phase 1 (if this part is even phase 1) still works.

I had to wait for the fix for Noll about 45 minutes ago to even progress this far in phase 1.

Suggestions? Ideas?

Wait for a new patch?

I was wondering if I could still do this quest? I tried to look through my emails and the email I received from her isn’t there anymore. Is it completely gone?

The NPCs relating to that scavenger hunt also appear to have disappeared. It seems that one wasn’t included in the amnesty… even though the largos step was bugged until bedtime for some people.

Same, she doesn’t have the karka option. I have the Southsun Coast map and got the karma drop item reward.

I am also waiting for the option to open.

Pastkeeper Saballa was bugged for me and I was recording for my youtube channel. I presumed the bugged content would be fixed during the patch, not removed.

Can we get a dev to confirm that these NPCs have been removed and if so a reason why they were removed despite many servers not being able to complete?

I have been waiting here at her since the patch and no karka option. Are we not able to get this anymore? Some confirmation would be nice. At least yes/no/working on it.

Yesterday Pastkeeper Saballa was totally bugged , she never gave me the Magic Scroll required to complete the task so I was waiting for the fix.
They said they have fixed broken NPC’s with todays patch
but the NPC’s disappeared for good.

How can I complete Miyani’s scavenger hunt now ?

I HOPE they extend her quest chain list. I don’t think it is fair to remove a chain list when it was bugged to start with, causing only a small 1% to have completed it.

I am stuck at the step where I am supposed to talk to Zommoros through Miyani but the “I need to ask about the karka creatures that attcked the city” option is missing on her menu when I talk to Miyani.

That’s ridiculous. How can you remove these NPCs when your events were bugged not giving people the time to complete them.

Peacekeeper Saballa was bugged for me, and thus I wasn’t able to complete the quest. It’s pretty infuriating when you spent all that time trying to get the other stuff, and logging in periodically to see if the bug was fixed, only to have them remove it completely as opposed to actually fixing the problem. Hopefully they re-implement this quest, but I doubt it. Anet doesn’t seem to budge in terms of this kind of stuff.

Can Miyani Phase 1 scavenger hunt still be completed now that we have moved on to phase 2? The NPC’s were bugged everytime I tried to do the Pastkeeper Saballa quest this morning and now I don’t see them. Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks

I really want to do this part too but I can no longer start it (I thought I couldn’t do it anymore as the first part of phase 1 was bugged too)

So please give us that option to finish this part of phase 1 too.

I had an ANet rep show up while we were waiting for the largos on Sanctum of Rall, who looked it up and said that apparently Miyani’s quest had been disabled – the extension was only for Noll and Canach.

yeah had the same issue as you as well , if it was me i would fix this bugs and leave the quest open throught the whole weekend it was a pain to deal with game breaking bugs and worst now not being able to do them anymore…

I would like to know this as well. Still have most of the items from the line in my inventory. Only need the Largos dude, but he wasn’t there when I went to check to see if he was unbugged now.

Just for a little more clarification, at this time we cannot progress after we recieve the jug of karma and cannot recieve the 5 CCC’s, nor will we be able to at all.

Guess thats about as close to dev confirmation as you can get.

That really sucks. I tried doing Fahd’s part of the quest 4 times and every time he was bugged, either unresponsive or just plain not there at all (as was the case when I tried today, his “quest” was active near the Blood Witch but he was nowhere to be seen). I guess if you missed the few-hour sweet spot between the time when they released the bug fix patch last night and the time he bugged himself again, you’re out of luck.

Quite bummed I won’t be able to finish the quest after I spent so much time on doing the 2 working parts and waiting around trying to get Fahd to work. Not that the reward is anything special, but I just like to actually finish the events.

So I guess Saballa and the others are also gone?

OK finally I’m a bit miffed. Not annoyed, just miffed.

There were some events that we could not extend past Phase 1, unfortunately. Extending all events in Phase 1 would have been a much more extensive fix, requiring much more time to thoroughly regress. Given the time sensitive nature of the event, we extended what portions we were able to effectively.

Our developers are reading all of your feedback and are taking all the critiques on board.

So we should just delete the items from our inventory then?

Are you kidding me?

So phase 1 bugs out rather early, and with no real in-game information provided by Anet, people stop at Noll because you guys (late last night) post saying Noll will be extended.

So people stop in phase 1 not realizing other parts of phase 1, that seem like they should happen subsequent to Noll’s quest, are actually totally different things that could be done at the same time, but are also bugged.

Come the next day, when you extend Noll, you choose to NOT extend the other quest because it’d be too much work?

And you only announce this well after people find out in-game (with the time spent and frustration gained) on the forums?

If you want some critiques, here’s a few:

1 – One time events should work the one time they run.

2 – Information should be provided in-game instead of via Twitter, Facebook or the forums.

3 – Don’t be so stuck on an artificial timeline for any future events. This is a sequence of 3 one time events, and so far 2 of them (for many/most people) haven’t worked properly. Will tomorrow’s work? Hyping something to “not be missed” and then having it fail only makes you guys look bad.

4 – Information like that in your post that I quoted should be provided BEFORE people waste time finding it out.

This is what I want to know about. I have all three items in my inventory and no one to give them to. :\ How frustrating.

i have to admit im really disliking these “one time only deals” i spent hours last night and yesterday trying to figure out what to do was up all night cause the stuff was bugged and now i cant finish things should be listed better like ok this this and this mission or quest are here at this person and can only be done in the first 24 hours and this this and this are up forever or for the entire event oh well

Well…that’s pretty BS. The events were completely bugged for me the entire time I tried to do them. I wasn’t able to complete them even if I wanted to. Thanks ANet.

Largos pretty much permanently bugged on my server, so it was impossible for me to complete the Miyani chain. Brilliant.

Was there any single part of this event that hasn’t suffered from blocking bugs. Noll disappearing. The largos breaking. Canach disappearing. Unkillable Ancient Karkas. I’m seriously starting to have doubts about ANet’s QA process….

then can u add it back after the rest of the events?

So if someone didn’t want to follow someone’s spoiler guide, they can’t complete the event? Yeah. I’m not impressed.

You should do something to make up for this, maybe have an NPC give the players the items that they weren’t able to get during phase 1 because you guys kittened up if you honestly think it’s too much kittening work to . It’s not the players’ fault that they weren’t able to complete your buggy event and proceed with the quest chain without following your poorly-publicized twitter feed and spoiling the events of the weekend. It’s yours.

This sounds like a design issue, if there’s a technical reason why NPCs can’t be duplicated in the world to enable events to happen. The phases and their contents should have been mutually exclusive to the other phases and their contents, or at least the NPCs and their supporting code should have been designed with better encapsulation in mind.

I’m not impressed.

EDIT: fixed some grammar.

Guys, while I feel your frustration, you need to understand that not everything is perfect, this content was free, and these poor developers are doing everything they can with the manpower they have. A free game is going to have limited manpower, so just work with them and be appreciative of what you have.

*gets off knees

…and this is why I don’t even bother trying to do limited-time events anymore. I don’t enjoy the pressure of being hurried to complete something, nor the frustration of discovering too much time has passed and I can no longer complete the event.

I’m not saying ANet shouldn’t do them for the people who enjoy this kind of thing. I’m just stating my feedback that it doesn’t matter how much time, money, or other resources ANet puts into limited-time events, I will never see their efforts or appreciate their work, because I will never bother to do them.

The Largos guy was the only one I needed on my main character. Now it’s the only missing step for both of my high levels…

I’m kinda annoyed that we waited this long for a fix to Canach and Noll, only to be denied completing the chain because Fadh and Saballa are gone.

Why is it “time sensitive” in the first place? It shows an extreme lack of foresight (not to mention basic beta testing!) to set things up so that it’s confined to a single, short ime period and has everyone’s individual progress be at the mercy of some global timer.

You do realize that Guild Wars 1 was also free and NEVER had issues with events going off without a hitch?

I completed only through Noll because the official word from Stephane was that the Phase 1 events would remain in-game after Phase 2 commenced and in order to complete Phase 1, we needed to complete through Noll and have the map fragment. Now come to find out that I’ll never be able to do Miyani’s portion of Phase 1 because it’s been removed from the game! This is incredibly disappointing frustrating.

I have no doubts about ANet’s QA process – it’s rather obvious that they don’t actually HAVE a QA process to have doubts about.

Why is everyone on the same chain, Arenanet said this game is unique and people make the difference in the outcome of the game, I have HEARD this from so many other mmo out there. You should have had 5 different random chains with some funny stuff to go with it. Next time I will send you a tax invoice $180/hour.
Thank you.

The game is not free. It cost me $60. It cost others $80. It cost still others $150.

Frankly, it’s getting to the point where if I could get my money back, I would. This is not the game I was expecting from the pre-BWE hype, and it’s only gotten buggier since launch, with more pre-BWE promises broken.

I was able to complete the Miyani quest earlier today. Didn’t realize it would be disabled/removed so others couldn’t, as well, since the other quest line is still undo-able.

This part of the announcement about the Noll fix:

“The subsequent steps of Phase 1 can be finished after Phase 2”

implies that Phase 1 can be completed after the bugged Noll part was restored. For anyone who does not read the wiki and prefers to complete the events on their own, this can lead to great disappointment when it is later announced that this is not the case.

Events and stories are the core of GW2 for me and probably for other players as well. We take the time and effort to find these events, to follow these stories. I understand that problems happen, that some errors cannot be easily fixed. Something like this, though, just erodes enjoyment. Does not remove it entirely, but there is a sour note in the otherwise beautiful symphony.

Please, if possible, let us know exactly what we missed out on because of this error.

Thank you.

I spent $80 on the game and $20 so far on gems.

It was not free.

Game has been out just under 3 months.

In a subscription MMO, to this point I would have spent $60 + $15 × 2 (2 months paid, with the first month free, I’d be paid up until around Nov 28th with $90).

Again, this content was not “free”.

Edit to add:

Also, if this is the level of quality of content additions we can expect in the future, I see absolutely no reason to ever buy gems again.

You guys clearly didn’t test one thing out on this event, then gave misleading info when it broke. Many people have missed this out because they were effectively told by you "get to noll and then don’t bother with anything because it’s all broken. Way to go. Honestly, the only reason I’m not completely incensed by this is because there’s no monthly fee. I guess it’s a case of getting what you pay for…

“Our developers are reading all of your feedback and are taking all the critiques on board”

Here is a constructive critique for your board….

Your event was poorly thought out, poorly executed and poorly managed. Your developers did a very lousy job. Your developers deserve no thanks and no attaboys for the lag, bugged to hell failures of simple quest chains and lackluster response times in even addressing this event and its numerous problems.

Solution:

You need better developers and Q/A.

I’m sorry, but this is simply not okay. A lot of players didn’t have access to this event chain at all. Unintentional as it might be, that’s like saying hey, let’s host an event, but let’s not do it at server X, Y and Z.

ReginaBuenaobra.6953:

We apologize that this means that folks are not able to complete the Miyani chain.

Why was Miyani even disabled? The NPC’s who started the chain were enough weren’t they?

As for feedback, maybe these “one time” events need to be “one day” events. You may also want to look into giving promotions out to those were on and doing said events, like me and I’m sure countless others. We don’t get any rewards, because your team failed on its part, even though a countless number of your players were there waiting to do the events?

I’m trying to do “Largos – Kessex Hills – Viathan Lake” part since event started and now this part of event gone? I leave this game after two chars on 80 because of massive bug on this game, I don’t know how they implemented event scripts, but it need a seriously refactoring.

Back to the game with this new event was a mistake, more stress with more bugs and all they have for us is “sorry, it’s a one time event, no donuts for you”. WTF?!

Wow this is such crap! Cacha was bugged on blackgate and it finally works today but the 2nd part is now done? This is bogus that I can’t finish this part.

I was hoping to get the last item from the Largos guy, who was bugged since the event started…oh well
