Guild Wars 2

So, two days in a row that this has bugged out – the same way – and it’s the one path that I need to finish my dungeon master title. All of the bosses were killed legitimately, we cleared essentially all of the trash all the way throughout to make running back easier if necessary – etc, so I don’t believe that it’s that.

Is this something that you guys are working on and we should avoid running this path until a fix has been documented, or is it something sporadic and might happen and might not? Honestly at this point I don’t even mind beating my head against Arah with the chance that the door might work – but I don’t really have a ton of desire to beat my head against it if it’s 100% going to break after spending an hour and a half in the place.

This door sometimes open while sometimes not! Sorry about that.

Vizunah Square, same problem … Make path and bug in finish -_-

yea i definately spent a couple hours getting there just to get squat; getting quite aggervating cause I’d personally not even be able to go in to not waste my time that I could have spent elsewhere actually profitable

Just a bit of an update on this — did this path (AGAIN) tonight hoping to finish it by whim, and I believe that I’ve spotted the issue. As soon as the final boss dies, the NPC immediately tries to jet to the door to play the final cinematic, but the ring of fire is still alive and up from the boss, and the NPC immediately dies. After ressing her – you’ll notice that by her actual chatter text, she actually thinks that she’s IN the observatory.

I haven’t been able to test this yet, but my theory is that if you ‘move’ the NPC to a safe spot that she can path through prior to engaging, and either
a) have her stand in one spot there
b) just have the person she’s following stand in one spot so that she doesn’t roam
c) have her die in a safe spot PRIOR to engaging so that after the fight when she resses it won’t be in some horrible spot that she can path through and die.

I will be testing this tomorrow to see if that’s the case – will update once I know, but repeatable issues are alot easier to track down, so if I can find the source of the problem hopefully you can fix it for others.

The NPC lives or not, it doesn’t matter.
It is simply the Jotun’s death did not trigger the opening of the door.

If the door opened, when you walked inside, it would trigger the npc’s voice dialogue “Look! There is the telescope” and “Success!. We have found it” something like that.
And after the dialogue, you’ll get the reward, no chest.

This exact door in p1 also bugged for my group on desolation yesterday and we weren’t quite sure why it did. But it’s very frustrating spending the time to do the dungeon (we even killed the ape) and not being able to get your token reward.

As far as I know there was never a chest from the final boss. The chest is from the previous boss since you can already loot it before killing the final boss.

ya, it bugged a couple times for my grp as well. now we wipe on purpose on the last boss and it hasn’t bugged on us yet when you kill him on the 2nd try

We are currently in the dungeon and facing this same problem. Seriously I’m so peeved off words can’t describe it. My first Arah explorable run and after seven hours of struggling, wiping, people changing, professions changing etc we finally hit the final door. Only for it to be bugged.

Needlessly say I’m not going to try Arah run in a while if ever since it seems they can’t get the bugs fixed on this…

Looks like Path 2 is also bugged. Yissa wont react to the boss.

Keeping the NPC from dying DURING her pathing point after killing the Jotun seems to be the key. We finished this successfully tonight — keeping really close watch on the NPC’s health and just wiping it if for some reason she died seemed to help. At some point after we all ressed, she just didn’t respawn at all and we decided screw it we’ll try killing him and seeing if she spawned afterwards, and sure enough she did. Finished up my achievement and all, but this should probably be looked at so that others can finish this path =/

We finally got through the door shortly after I posted that by me finding a spot where you could use TP skills to port through it. It’s stupid that you have to do something that is obviously a bug to be able to complete a dungeon…

That also happened to my group only difference this time was someone ran in with a tonic might have just been a coincidence
