Guild Wars 2

I am a sylvari guardian, lvl 77 when this occurred.

I don’t remember all of my beginning choices, but I chose the ‘white stag’ quest line, and I believe I picked ‘afternoon’ as my awakening time.

The fear I chose was of making someone else suffer.

The beginning goes fine. I find Trahearne, the leaders talk, random npc runs in and says the research team is in need of rescuing.

I proceed through the rescue and get to the first group just fine, then make my way to the second research group in the cave.

I talk to the research guy and then nothing happens, all the NPC’s from the first and second research groups just sit there. Trahearne is still following me so I decided to kill all of the undead in the cave, hoping maybe it would un-bug. I killed all of the undead within the cave, but that didn’t help. The NPC’s were still stuck back in the cave where I found them.

I figured maybe it was something I did, so I left the instance and started it over. I fought and killed the undead the second research group was fighting, talked to the head research guy, and then…nothing. They still won’t move. Trahearne is still following me, but nothing else happens.

Am I missing something here? There is an empty chest where I would assume the artifact they had found and were guarding was kept. But there is absolutely nothing to click on and I don’t know how to make this story go forward.

Not bugged for everyone, but still a complete PITA for several
