Guild Wars 2

He doesn’t open the door to access the second scepter area. I’ve tried getting him killed and WPing from the beginning and running back to the chamber, to no avail.

I’m not impressed with a path where half the time the NPC works just fine and the other half he’s bugged. Especially when the burrow stage before that is time consuming with a PuG.

Anyone found a way to get him to open the door?

It could be worse, yesterday we killed the Howling King, only for Hodgins to bug out and not start the final cinematic, which meant no final reward.

So we went through the entire dungeon path only to get no reward other than the 15s you loot from the King.

There is no way to open the door unfortunately. I’ve had this happen twice to me. Only thing to do is to BE SURE to have everyone in your group report the bug. We can only fix this by raising awareness.

well you have 2 options to prevent him from bugging
a) kill oozes before entering the room (yup they are the main reason he gets bugged there)
b) when entering room, turn left to prevent oozes from spawning (no oozes, no problem)

I don’t recall skipping the oozes when we entered the chamber. I will keep this in mind the next time I do this. Thanks for the heads up!

Yup had this happen to be….two days ago. Twice. Also back in early October. I reported it back then with 4 others. I just gave up hope now.

This exactly happened to our guild last night, was frustrating. I submitted a bug report, hopefully it’s fixed soon.

Eva I’d love to see that kind of a post on one of the endless ‘Arah gate bug’ topics.

Still bugged ryt now. Even we kil all the mobs.

Hello everybody.

Thanks for letting us know! This information will be passed on to the team.
Thanks again and sorry for the inconveniences.

Does this mean that the Dev Team didn’t know about this issue previously?!

So the bug has been in the game for at least a month and the dev team just learned about this?

That’s unlikely, unless no one reported the bug with the ingame bug report tool.

It probably means the CC has some way to tell the bug fix team about bugs currently discussed in the community and will use those means in order to raise additional awareness.

I remember when i did AC some weeks ago, that hodkins didn’t open the door to the room with the four scepter pieces. Would be cool if this gets fixed.
