Guild Wars 2

Problem description: Talking to Detha after traps are fixed does not allow her to trigger Ghost Eater spawn.

Steps to reproduce: In Hall of Champions, have Detha fix all turrets except for the North one. Leave North one a couple of ticks from fixing. Let Detha go to fix it while killing mobs at west. Detha gets knocked back (e.g. ranger ghost) further up north but fixes the turret, completing the defend event. Talk to Detha.

Expected results: Talking to Detha presents dialog to spawn ghost eater event.

Observed results: Interacting with Detha turns her around but doesn’t spawn the dialog to spawn ghost eater. She has the event icon over her head. She does not move to the center of the room.

Workarounds: None. Need to restart the run from scratch.

I’m guessing it’s related to the scripting for Detha. Possibly a race between the knockback and event completion with Detha moving towards the center of the room. I know all the devs are focused on HoT, but is it possible to get a fix for this in with the expansion? Also, why isn’t dungeon listed under Sub-Area for PvE in the report bug dialog (not meant as snarky comment)?

They removed dungeons from the in game bug report options a few patch ago.

if we ever permanently stop working on a particular area of the game, we will tell you

I was expecting something a little more direct, tbh, but I guess that works too.

Dungeons not exist confirmed? Or that is another bug report bug?

I recall a lot of people having this issue way back in the day as well.

Some questions I have to ask.
Was the first borrow after triggering the explorable path choice skipped
Did the troll spawn and was skipped
Was Kholer skipped
Were trash mobs aggroed previously before Detha at any time during the run and were they skipped with Detha peeling away from them.
If Detha died at any point during the run, was she fast ressed via waypointing or was it a manual resurrect.

We couldn’t figure it out before but many including myself speculated it was due to unfinished events messing with her event trigger. It sounds like hocus pocus but that was the speculation that quite a few people came down to. I am assuming this may be the case again seeing as other old bugs like the firestorm AoE not removing properly when the graphic cleans up has arisen again during the molten duo fractal.

• Skipped the first burrow bonus event.
• No troll spawn.
• Killed Kholer.
• Don’t recall.
• We did wipe in the spike trap room where you need to defend her. I think we ressed her.

She did trigger the defend her while she repairs the three turrets event. I’m inclined to think it’s not related to anything before that.
