Guild Wars 2

When we first get on the ship, and get past the first row of Giants, on the part that says “Board the Chopper and Destroy the Draconic Battery.” the Chopper is flying (stuck) in the distance and we have no way to get on it. Ran it twice in a row and same exact thing happened both times.

Can you not get this instance working correctly? I feel like it’s been a mosh-pit of bugs and time-sinks from Day 1. If you can’t fix it, hire someone to help groups through your bugs as they go. Getting very frustrating.

We finished blocking the attacks from the Giants hurling projectiles at us, the NPCs told us we needed to take the chopper, then the above happened. Both Times.

I think I was in the party with Doujou (I’m on the Henge of Denravi server).

When I did Arah story mode this morning, we were on the airship. Some of us manned the cannons on the right side, to face the row of giants, and 1 or 2 fought off mobs which were on deck.

After we cleared the giants and killed the mobs, we were then instructed to board the chopper to destroy the draconic battery.

I don’t remember if I saw the cutscene after this part of the dungeon.

However, the problem was that the chopper was off in a distance and never came to us.

People in our party seemed to know the dungeon breaks in this area.

They suggested we reset the dungeon and try again. So we started over from the beginning and found the dungeon break down in the same location.

I submitted a bug report each time we got stuck, so there should be some recent information for you (with a screenshot).

The problems I saw are as described in these other posts gamers have been making for a while now:

Good luck fixing this.

This is ridiculous that this has yet to be fixed. I want to finish my story line, and still cannot after weeks of waiting for this to be unbugged. Why is this not a priority?

i think it is fixed now cause i did arah last weekend and got my story finished

i hope this helps

If a player is pushed or jumps of an airship just before a cutscene, progress is halted. This has been so from week 1 of the game as far as I know.

ive done story 5 times since the start all different patches and its never broke for me

This bug happened to us too just now. We tried to exit dungeon, started again, nobody fell down, we didn’t skip video, but stuck again
Server Piken Square

Happens right now to me, after checking some posts on forums, this bug has been reported more than 4 months ago.

Just ran into this bug with my group, any ways to get around it?

…any word from Anet about fixing it?

I’m not sure they know how to make the dungeon stable. This problem keeps popping up now and again and hasn’t been eliminated since the game launched.

However, to your problem. I think dungeons are instances hosted on your home world (server). So, if it is glitching for you, you might try running the dungeon on another server.

Use http://gw2lfg.com to find a group elsewhere.

It’s frustrating, but that might be your best bet. Good luck, hope you get it finished.

You know what I love? Spending 2 hours fighting through a dungeon just to have someone d/c on final boss making it all for nothing. Anet needs to do something about that…just cause the “host” or whatever you wanna call it leaves doesn’t mean everyone should have to.

I wouldn’t love that at all.

Modern MMO’s have evolved to include dungeon finders to deal with this kind of problem.

You can only ignore history for so long before you are forced to add these modern features into your product.

Luckily, it appears ArenaNet is going to address this type of issue:

You may have kicked the instance owner, which would indeed close the instance and boot everyone out.
We are aware of a problem related to that though, and are working on solutions.

EDIT:
Whoever is the first person into the misty portal/dungeon is considered the owner of the instance, despite his placement in the party.
