Guild Wars 2

Path 1 of AC is now broken. I tried running this path twice tonight and both times the same issue occurred. After the final boss is defeated Hodgins will not finish the instance to progress to the point where you get your tears and exp. He just sits there like a fool, and when you talk to him all he says is “Knowledge is Power”. The only way to even leave the dungeon at that point is through the portal, there is no exit button above the mini-map.

Details on our runs:

First run through we beat troll and Kholer, did the mounds to get first scepter piece, then ran through mobs to get second scepter (did not kill trash). Ran to where the final boss was and killed breeders than the boss, Hodgins did not die during the battle because we took down the boss quickly.

Second run through the troll did not spawn and we skipped Kholer. Everything from that point on pretty much the same. Killed boss, Hodgins didn’t die, didn’t finish instance. No exp or AC tears.

Don’t know if it matters or not but I’m on the Fort Aspenwood server.

Please fix ASAP.

Also as a side….the Priory Camp Waypoint is now not on the main map, the waypoint is off to the side, and when you warp to it it will take you to a barren area that stretches on for a bit, eventually you will fall through the floor to the dungeon below (of course killing yourself).

That Waypoint is bugged on all routes.

Just finished Path 1 as well. Defeated the boss and nothing happened afterwards. No tokens. No money. No Exp.

We ran the path exactly as we usually do it everyday.

We had the same problem on the Sorrow’s Furnace (America) server.

The waypoint for Priory Camp Waypoint is bugged and Hodgins didn’t register the kill for Howling King and the event status in the upper right corner continued to say “Search the catacombs for the patriarch.”

This is not a new bug, it happened to my party a week or so ago.

Completed all 3 paths last night and they all worked fine.

I run this dungeon everyday (all three paths) and had no issues pre 12/3 patch.

Why comment if you’re not having the issue? It just breeds confusion, some of us are actually experiencing it.

Possibly because if only you and some others are saying it doesn’t work, then it doesn’t work for EVERYONE. However, some people are reporting that it works for them, thus, the problem seems to be randomly affecting people rather than 100% affecting everyone.

The no-reward bug occurred to me about a week and a half ago. We ran the run normally, clearing stuff as normal, and encountered this issue. I have as-of-yet been unable to figure out the reproduction causes with my guild, but I’m constantly trying to figure it out so that I can report it to Rob and get it addressed in a future build. If anyone has any reproduction methods, that’d help a lot with ANet fixing this.

Like others said, we killed the Howling King and it still said “Search the Catacombs for the patriarch.” Can anyone who had this issue confirm whether or not the HK’s health bar appeared in the event window or not? I can’t remember, and that may be relevant for debugging.

I can’t recall if the health bar showed up or not. I tend to not pay attention to those.
