Guild Wars 2

After a struggle to find a good PUG for a run into AC on explore there was no main boss where his icon was…
It took a couple of hours to get there losing a person along the way and we were !@#$%^& upset.
We tried going to the beginning waypoint and then back. We tried walking as a group to the beginning then back in the hopes it would reset or something but did not. It would just show the icon and the orange circle but nothing was there.
I have yet to complete a dungeon on explore despite trying everyday for the last week. Usually it is the other players that bail before the end but when I finally get through this happens…
Please fix this. Nice waste of 20+ silver that day for fixing my armor.

Yes sorry about that.

I’ve had problems with this room in the past. Sometimes if the team wipes the room does not properly recognize party proximity and the events get stuck

I had to look online to jog my memory of the area’s name. It was right after you discover the “Hall of Champions”. Where the boss room is there were no enemies like I saw in a video online. Right through the door in the big room with the foggy floors we stood where the orange circle was (discolored area on floor) but unlike the video a ghost did not appear and talk to the char.

Other pertinent info: We lost a member a ways back in this dungeon. We were only running 4 most of the time so when we got to this part it was decided that the instance owner would ask a contact of his to join so we would have 5 against the boss. So we waited right outside the door for about 5 minutes until he the other person joined us.
It seems usual to lose at least one person in a dungeon run unfortunately.

My guildies and I ran AC explorable 3 or 4 times. We ran Colossus Rumblus once and Ghost Eater 3 times I think. We’ve only reached the end of the dungeon for Ghost Eater. The first 2 times we didn’t get any where for various reasons (people had to leave). The last 2 times we ran the Ghost Eater route. The final boss didn’t spawn for us on either of the runs.

For the first run, we actually ran into a slightly different bug. Our first run was littered with deaths and we wiped in the Flooded Temple area a few times when we had to defend Detha while she gathered bait. Each time we wiped, we had to come back and clean up the spawns from the previous attempt before we could try again (not sure if this is intended or not). After the 2nd or 3rd wiped, our group came back and proceeded to clear the area again. The boss was also here (from the previous attempt). When we killed him, the chest spawned and Detha acted as if we’d completed the area properly and told us to move on. We were surprised, but proceeded anyway. When we got to the Hall of Champions, we ran into the situation the OP described. We found a bunch of broken mortars and no spawns or the Patriarch.

For the second run, we had far fewer deaths and only wipped once at the Flooded Temple. When we tried the temple part again, it was CLEAR of mobs from the previous spawn. We completed this part without much difficulty and proceeded. Ran into the exact same issue at the Hall of Champions with nothing spawning.

We’ve since stopped running AC explorable mode (it’s been about a weekish now) because we’re waiting for these issues to be resolved first. There doesn’t seem to be many issues with Story Mode dungeons now and we’ve ran a few of those since.

Edit: We’ve tried killing and reviving Detha, having people rezone into the dungeon. These didn’t work.

Ran into this problem a week or two ago (and made a thread about it). We tried a lot of the same things others seem to have tried. We cleared every mob we could (we had bypassed a group or two). We ran to the beginning and back, all the way out and back. Nothing ever happened.

A second bug we ran into in ACE doing the path that has the graveling burrows spawning every 10 seconds or so was that half the time we could not hit the burrows. Melee attacks would just miss, and ranged attacks were frequently “obstructed” for no readily apparent reason. It made it impossible to continue on.

Just ran Ascalonian Catacombs after the new update and also got blocked at the final part of path #2.

We took Detha to the Hall of Champions but her dialogue doesn’t trigger and the mortar event doesn’t start.

it happned 1 time for me on 5 run. ;_;

Well, this happened to us just now. I think the event before the final one is the cause of this. Detha died in the trap room and the mobs didn’t disappear. We had to wipe the mobs with the Breeder. Then it finished while Detha is dead.

I can’t say I’ve ran into this problem, and I do this dungeon and route every day. Not sure what triggers it. What I don’t get is though why pugs only want to do route two, when it is quite harshly the hardest.

Ok, so I’m trying to establish a pattern here.

Every time I’ve reached the end of Detha’s path, she’s died at least once in the Flooded Temple area (where you have to use the traps against the Gravelings).

Did Detha die for you guys when you did your run? I’m posing this question to everyone who HAS encountered this blocking bug.

Since you say you’ve not (ever?) ran into this problem, has Detha ever died for you in the trap room? Or have you always been able to keep her alive? This question is also for anyone who has NOT run into this bug.

Bugged on Crystal Desert

The others take just as much time

I’ve ran this 3 times the past two days (twice tuesday, once wednesday) on Gate of Madness and everything is working. Detha died in all 3 runs and needed to be revived.

I have to ask for clarity. You said Detha died all 3 times. Did she die in the room with the traps? Or did she just die in the normal course of gameplay?

Same problem here.
She died in the trap room and we had to kill the boss on our own, now she won’t trigger the boss in the halls of champions.

Funny thing is I’m just in ascalon because Arah is bugged… does 1 single dungeon work in this game?
