I mean seriously, I and 3 others go through hours of waiting for an event to spawn, have that event fail to get to the one we needed which involved a lot of shouting at and bribing nearby players, only for none of us to get the collection item.
We were all excited that we’d finally be able to continue with Nevermore, but nope. This is disappointing beyond words.
This failure thing they have going on. It seriously needs to go.
Especially for a “legendary” quest.
My wife was doing map completion on her elemantalist yesterday and called me to her computer, I figured she needed help with a Vista but no…
She was getting called an idiot a moron and a fool by players who were on a “legendary” quest and needed events to fail. Now I know The GW community comprises players of all ages and backgrounds so I refrained from going nuclear (IRL I’d have planted them). I simply wrote “blame Anet I need this for my heart”.
My wife who has yet to buy HoT on her account, turned off the game, so one less sale for Anet.

Its creating a lot of hostility from what I’ve seen, which is especially bad since it takes place in a level 15-25 zone filled with new players. For a game which is praised for its nice community, it certainly isn’t shown here. People are yelled at when they attack it and insulted if they kill it, and some players are even intentionally trolling the event to block progress.
I finally beat it with the help of some awesome guy who went around whispering everyone around the area not to attack the boss! The bug that prevented credit was from the event to destroy the dragon totem not showing up. This time the events worked correctly with “destroy the the dragon totem” event appearing at the end.
For those wondering what you need to do to obtain the item:
- You need to let the shaman reach the totem. (event fail)
- The shaman has to rebuild the totem. (event fail)
- You need to protect the owls from the Svanir (event success). MAKE SURE YOU DON’T KILL THE TOTEM OR THE SHAMAN DURING THIS EVENT, IT WILL BUG UP THE FINAL PART WHICH YOU NEED.
- You need to talk to and escort Owl Shaman Ulgadis (event success)
- And finally, you need to assist Owl Shaman Ulgadis in destroying the dragon totem, which will give you the collection achievement. (event success)

That actually makes me very sad.
Obviously this ‘need events to fail to progress’ is really bad for the game and the community. It’s not the first time either so I’m wondering why Anet hasn’t learned from their past mistakes yet. Orrian temples come to mind.
I think I’ve only had the chance to help poor old Ulgadis once since Megaservers were introduced. It’s one of my favourite chains. I’m a little amazed they would use this event to further anything let alone a Legendary considering how often it’s just not up. Especially on a Snowden events day.
Fire up the Hyperbowl ma, we’re going to town!
Would you like some hard cheeze with your sad whine?
In general I genuinely think Anet devs come from the same kind of gamers that like SNES games where you really have to be on your game to do this or that. I’m thinking about games like Donkey Kong Country 2 and the Parrot levels.
If there was more objective in the game than “run forward and complete this task” then this would work. In general the only reason a person stands in this game is they are answering a text or have gone afk.

My wife’s been playing GW2 for 2 years, has 100% map completion on her main so she’s not new. I don’t give a kitten what anyone on the map was trying to do if anyone spoke to her like that IRL there would be…
It’s a poor design to tie these quests to failure. Free to Play makes it a nightmare to get cooperation but always remember no matter what you want you aren’t entitled to others complying.
I’ll give my contact info to anyone of those players who would like to discuss the matter in person.
