Guild Wars 2

The placing of the stones seems to be bugged. I place my first set of stones to match the 1st eye and the left torch lights up and then I can’t proceed any further, the 2nd eye doesn’t light up and show the next pattern of stones to match—-you have to match 4 times to open the gate to cache but it won’t advance after I successfully match the 1st pattern.
BTW, I saw in dulfys’ video that the rock face has pattern showing in both eyes, when I enter the area, only 1 eye has a pattern.
I even left and reentered and it was still locked up with the 1st pattern placed.
Anyone else? Will it eventually reset so I can try again?
Thanks.

well the wiki gives a few suggestions. try those and let us know if it worked

Thanks, Should have looked there first. After reading the WIKI—the event is obviously bugged and the various solutions (which may or may not work) clearly shows the Anet needs to be involved and fix it.
I will try a few of them and see what happens, if unsuccessfully I am not going to be bothered with the pirates event or achievements. It’s enough of grind game as is is without the bugs.

Update
I used some of the suggested patterns, and eventually one of them progressed the event and the second eye appeared with a pattern. That being said—after doing a few caches—-I just can’t see my self wasting anymore time grinding in the non grinding game—lol.

cant really see finding the caches as a ‘grind’, I mean there are only a handful of them. however, if you have already done the jps or minidungeons, then I can see not wanting to do it again. the ‘grind’ is killing the pirates at the same nodes that the holos spawn at, that is not really my definition of fun.

glad the wiki helped ya, that event is buggy as heck

When you put it all together—it’s just one big search, kill and find over and over a few hundred times, (and nodes don’t spawn blades alot of the time), with lots of bugs and then throw in WvW cache as well—-no thanks done with it. I’ll buy my axes if they ever figure out how to put them on TP, and don’t care for the new skins The event is a major fail for me personally, although others may love it.

Happened to me with the one eye having the pattern, just guested in another server and got it transferred back into my server by exiting to character select

Ours was bugged or just hung up because we had one pattern on the right side when we came in. We looked at wiki, put all the stones on, took them off and it seemed to do the trick resetting and and we were able to continue and get the patterns done. Wiki has some good suggestions on proceeding for this one.

yeah, it’s bugged.

just do all patterns over and over until the door opens.

im suprised anet put a cache in there, its been bugged form day one, only usually works after a reset. i think anet are trolling us
