Guild Wars 2

So, I was playing this LS, all happy and nice.. but after some time I noticed I have to ‘discuss’ with my ‘friends’ what to do.. now i’ve waited and spammed every ‘hero’ around me, and they give no options.

The progression doesn’t go on either, and my map has nothing shown, no quest marker, nothing.

Am I bugged and do I SERIOUSLY have to start ALL OVER!?

Restarted it already, it’s just nonsence. I couldn’t talk to any of the hero’s, I had to ‘discuss’ as simple as that, but there were no markers above anyone, no marker on my map, I didn’t do anything but just wait, listen and read.. and wait more… and more… and more…

Good news,

After quitting the instance 4times over and over, the 5th time I finally could continue with the ‘discuss’ part, their chat just did not pop any of the times.. for some reason.

Please, for the sake of other players, do something about it.

I had the same issue. I had two markers that showed I was supposed to speak to two of the npcs, but neither one would do anything. I had been clicking on all the clickable items in the room and thought perhaps I got ahead of the story dialog. I ended up having to start the episode again and this time reined in my OCD of clicking on everything. The episode played fine that time.

I just had this bug :/

i have this same problem too, i hope it can be fixed fast

Same here. Stuck

I remember running into this problem when making my guides one time. It had something to do with resurrecting allies not correctly registering. I had “revive 1 more fallen ally” in my objectives when everyone was dead, and reviving everyone didn’t change the counter.

maybe this bug?
:)

This happened to me and my friend twice while we were doing her story.

It appears that it has to do with few seconds delay between the inquest dissappearing (dying) and Taimis next conversation (when she says its ready, 53% success chance etc). A lot of people I presume will immediately try to talk to Taimi after the inquest die hence triggering a different response from her which overrides what she is supposed to say.

Same bug. plz fix.

Yeah, Taimi at that point ended up in her “gatlin gun fist punch position” short GGFPP, but luckily continued to work on the holograms for me.
Good girl, but bad aim.
She should not handly delicate machinery like the hulk

This happened in my instance as well but luckily didn’t bug out. Taimi was punching away while “working on the control panel”. I thought maybe they didn’t have a “working on the control panel” animation so this one was used by default lol.

Same thing only on second (achievement) run. Killed Inquest at first two consoles without using them. At third console after some talk nothing happens. No green star. Talking to „friends“ doesn’t help.

man…i had no problems….but then again, i didn’t let my teammates die :P

My team mates didn’t die either. Made another run. Everything went fine. Got the achievement.

Just happened to me, The issue persists.

Same issue

Also another problem is if you use the steam minotaur console (the 2nd one) after you first use it, you get stuck in it with no way to take it off. I used to clear away the minions around the third console, and afterwards I was stuck in it with no way to take it off. I had the same bug of not being able to finish the mission also. I thought it was because I was stuck in the suit. Not even going back and the selecting the console would allow me to take it off. I managed to climb high and walk off and suicide in order to finally get out of the suit, but I still had the mission problem that everyone else had.

I actually ended up as a Steam Ogre for the 2nd console. I didn’t get a Steam Minotaur at all. What happened there??

Got this bug too. I was fighting in the river to have more space to move and a few seconds before Taimi was finished with the console I went down. After rallying I noticed that there were no quest markers and I was stuck.

How much did you guys wait for the npcs to start talking? Because i have an issue with these new LS quests that is similar – at certain points i have to wait an awful lot for them to continue and thus for the quest to progress…. i sometimes just got tired of waiting and went out to the kitchen for a drink and when i returned, they were talking…. i don’t know if it’s bug or lag or whatever, maybe it’s not even the same issue, but maybe some of you should try and wait longer?

I think I waited for about 10 minutes for them to continue. On my first playthrough everything went smoothly though.

I don’t mean to hijack a thread or anything, but perhaps this’ll be more noticed here:

Does anyone else have severe performance issues with this instance? It’s not just Scarlet’s Breakthrough, but the whole area of the Cavern of Shining Lights.

Upon first entering the area from the northern cave, I start to experience an immense framerate drop – from a steady 60 FPS (vsync limited) to about 5-15 at recommended settings (mostly medium across the board in my case). Audio begins to distort and pop, and is very static – something I’ve never experienced in other known laggy areas like say the Black Citadel.

If I look up north towards the entrance, the lag mysteriously goes away. But if I look towards the southern or eastern faces, the lag is immense. The western wall doesn’t seem quite as bad.

I can’t quite to pinpoint the cause of the slow down either – CPU load is low, memory usage is normal, both CPU and GPU temps are low as if they’re being taxed very little, yet I can barely play in the area due to the severe lag.

I did this solo on a secondary character. Did not go down or dead. Waited a long time for quest indicator. Left the story instance – green marker disappeared and Concordia never showed up in tab. Completely logged out and back in – received rewards and progression.

Also, before I attempted to log in and out, I did two events in Dry Top and the event reward chests popped up in lower right screen. Could not click on them until I did the logging thing.

So when is this bug going to get fix, because I’m still getting this bug.

Two friends and I just encountered the very same bug. Hopefully this gets fixed soon, we pretty much wasted one of our only free nights of the week

just had this EXACT same Bug. had to restart and now i dont want to do it.

…and same bug.

I hit this bug today — still broken. Rather frustrating.

same thing happening to me in february… i think this bug is here to stay

This the lack of support is getting old Anet as i just ran into this bug

If this was known about 8 months ago, as is indicated by anets last response above and it’s still not fixed, well that’s kind of sad. Story/quest bugs should be fixed quicker than that.

I was originally going to reply and support anet, saying it takes time to fix things, but….sigh.

Just had this happen to me. Still bugged.

Still bugged, just wanted to get my achievs – no deal.

Wait more months, the kittening shadow of the dragon hitboxes are still bugged.

kittening Anet, you ALWAYS get kitten bugged for no reason and takes MONTHS to fix.

I’ve just encountered this bug. Is there anything that I could do to get past this stage?

STILL BUGGED. NEVER PLAYING LS2 EVER AGAIN.

Wow, it’s been 10 months and this thing is still bugged? I just bought the living story season 2 and now I can’t play it. That’s messed up.

Bump, still bugged >:(

Still bugged. Everyone is just standing around watching each other and not talking. Seriously…

I’ve run into this twice today. I’ll do it again, but if it happens for a third time then I will just skip it and go to the next episode

:(
Clearly old news by now but this instance is STILL bugged as of 15/8/15
Its even more annoying for me because I was trying to do the No Tricks achievement which makes the whole instance take waaay longer. I was having fun going back through the older chapters finishing off the achievements I didn’t get previously but this seriously put a damper on that

As experienced today, still bugged. Will try it once agai..

Same problem for me just a few moments ago. My first time playing through LS2, and working my way though the steps in order. I got to the “Discovering Scarlet’s Breakthrough” stage today.

The first two stages completed easily enough. At stage three, the Inquest seemed to de-spawn while there were still a good few with reasonable health levels left. The stage was marked as completed, and the green star changed to “Discuss what to do next with your friends”. No further progress is possible. Nothing happens, and talking to the individual characters does nothing, as indicated by the posts above.

I will keep trying to resolve this on my own, but just wanted to confirm it is definitely still happening. Just a pity, as I was really enjoying the LS2 story

Just an update: I restarted the event from the beginning. Did all three stages as before, and did nothing different, that I could see. At the third stage, the Inquest still de-spawned while there were still some with health remaining, (mostly golems). This time the conversation kicked in almost straight away and completed properly. I have no idea what was different, but I can tell you that I was not aware of doing anything any differently than before.

Still, at least I can move on with the story now.

I hope this gets fixed for everyone else. The story is great so far.
