Guild Wars 2

Okay i seem to be stuck in endless waves of enemies on the 2nd stupid “defend the area” objectives, it says im supposed to use the tank to kill the enemies but trying to kill fast risen what that piece of kitten is kinda out of the question seeing as i just get swarmed while using it. So i stopped using it but it appears you cant complete this objective without killings a certain number of enemies with the tank. So what? im just screwed then? any suggestions?

Anet fix you kittening missions, we’re 2 months into the game now and they’re are still a ton of story bugs out there that you are just avoiding, why?

I am also on this part of my class quest, i can do the first bit just fine, but the 2nd part were you are supposed to use the tank is impossible, i get in the tank and start turning to aim, after a couple of secs it kicks me out of the tank and the turret keeps turning, so i cant even try to get back in quick, its really frustrating especially considering the game has been out awhile now, you have a special event coming this weekend, how about fixing the broken stuff first?

thought i’d give this quest another try, now i’m getting the same thing happening to me as kej, i can’t even use the tank, i just get booted out. Please Anet at least acknowledge that you even give a kitten about your players, i’d like to finish my personal story this year

It’s based on killing a certain number of giants in particular, not just enemies in general. While the tank is obviously the easiest way to do this if it’s working, you can achieve the objective other ways. I killed two with mortars and took out another just using my standard ranged combat, in addition to using the tank.

Focus as many of your attacks on the giants as possible. Taking out the other Risen doesn’t advance the quest no matter how many you kill, so try to leave them to the NPCs.

If the tank is bugged for you, bringing a second player to help you go after the giants may help, as a lot of your NPCs will die.

i made a thread earlier today saying the same thing.

There’s a workaround for this bugged up craziness. Get in the tank and suffer through the bug just enough to fire off a shot that hits one of the enemies. That kicks off the event and the other tanks and NPCs start firing.

Then as the poster above said, focus on the giants. Use whatever range you’ve got to take them down, they’re only about veteran strength.

Another workaround is the forget about the tanks (which you can’t use since you get knocked out from it every 5 seconds or something) and use the mortars instead.

I’ll be happy when this personal story is done, its the last en for me, no more, never.

PS: Love the rest of the game though.

I just completed this Event last week, if you want to use the Tank I can tell you how.

The first part the tank seems to work fine, once the Giants start the spawn the Tank bugs out and rotates the turret fully each time.

To get around this, rotate the turret 1 click at a time, dont hold down the turn button, dont press more than once, this way it will not fully rotate when it kicks you. I was able to complete doing it this way, though it was frustrtating and took awhile.

is it fixed yet?

I’ve given up trying to complete this part, the tank bugs out, can’t use it, none of the other npc tanks attack. Hopefully it gets fixed soon, would love to see whats next.

did it today but died in the process,however its finished,forget the tanks,justs kill the giants with your ranged weapon as soon as they spawn,worked for me

so I’ve been waiting for a week to even get acknowledgment that someone at anet gives a kitten, but so far no dice, that’s cool i didn’t wanna finish my personal story anyway.

This thing made me lose my will to play

aside from WvW my story is the last thing that doesn’t bore the hell outta me, oh well…

Have the same problem, the tank works for a while, then the turning kicks me out, when I jump back in it’s turned all the way in one direction so pretty much useless, and trying to turn it back does the same thing. I’ve tried killing the risen without the tank but it’s far too dangerous and they seem to just endlessly respawn.

yeah it stuff like this and just confirm that they never play the game or tested it Before releasing it the n00bs that they are

haha. Agree. Well, i read somewhere that there’s only 2 programmers to fix the bugs. So, imagine when they will be able to fix it? The more contents they release, the more bugs this game will continue to have.

intro 5 bugs, fix 2, intro 5, fix 2. how many bugs now? think of it. There will never be less bugs. Anet need to hire more programmers to fix most of the bugs, say 75% – 90%.
