Guild Wars 2

Bugged for me also. Very first time doing Living World Season 2.
Followed from the start of chapter 1 in order, then got the this stage.
Didn’t do anything weird, killed the inquest.
Last console, see bright light which kills everything, then it comes back and the npc’s don’t move.
I then go to the far end and jump off high ledge killing myself.
It then re-spawns me at first checkpoint with cut-scene.
So is the bug that it resets itself and can’t progress?

Edit: first time I secured the third console, I killed everything quick. I noticed the bar went 100%, this is when the event stuck.
Second run through, I took my time. This time the event completed OK, but the bar was only 90%.

Bugged for me also playing through it again does not interest me…….

After a year…

This is still broken.

Trying to complete it without using any of Scarlet’s devices for the achievement, and It’s stuck at the same place as everyone else’s. Fix it already.

I think I’ve figured it out. On the third console, after defeating the mobs, when it says “discuss with your friends” DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TALK TO THEM. They will start talking amongst themselves. Just to be safe, I didn’t even move when they were talking, and it let me right on through. I think if you attempt to talk to them, it bugs the conversation, so the text is misleading. It should say “listen to your friends discuss the situation”.

Still bugged. I have been back after a long break paid for the expansion and paid gems for this season 2 and stuck. Sad you guys are still the same.

Ok after the third time it worked. You cannot try to talk to anyone after the third console.

I’m having this bug. It’s the second time it’s happened to me. Once, several weeks ago I was doing the story on another character and it got hung up on “Discuss what to do next with your friends.” and I had to redo the whole thing.

Now I’m redoing it for Nomad’s trinkets and it’s happened again. I didn’t talk to anyone, though. I just stood and waited as the last of the inquest died and the laser defense went off. Talked in gchat a bit. Noticed nothing was happening. Talked to everyone. Nothing. Ran all over the instance. Still nothing.

I’m here for the No Tricks achievement, so I didn’t use the previous two consoles, which made the instance take longer than it normally would, and I’m really not eager to relog just to redo all of that all over again. It’s already a tremendous hassle having to replay the same instances 2-4 times each for some achievements. After scrambling up Zephyr’s Ascent and missing the hay bale a few times this was supposed to be the easy achievement on my list but it looks like I’m slowly hacking through a crowd of inquest that spam chill grenades with huge AoEs yet again.

Whoever designs achievements at ANet needs to check out the Extra Credits video on Challenging Content vs Punishing Content. Because GW2 tends to confuse the two a lot and punish the player over and over in the name of “challenging” the player.

Yeah i am having this error. It will “complete” and discuss what to do next with your friends will come up but they never start talking and the progress bar that is greyed out and checked doesn’t actually look completed, maybe 95%.

Still bugged after 1 year? I’m stuck on this as well

Ran into this bug tonight. Surprised this is still an issue. Very frustrating.

I tried a few times and eventually it worked. Just keep trying I guess.

Same bug issue, just letting the npcs talk amongst themselves and not interacting with them doesn’t do anything as they just arrive in a circle and stand there.

So far I’ve not interacted with the npcs at all and did everything the quest told me to except using the consoles. Both times I attempted this solo I went to the inquest on the other side of the water. At the end of the event the bright light appears but there’s no npc conversation.

3rd attempt I tried the inquest on the same side as the consoles but it looked like those inquest didn’t count as I killed way more than 25 and didn’t get any progress until I killed 25+ on the other side of the water. This time the npcs started talking at the end as the bright light appeared and I was able to finish the quest. Might have something to do with being able to complete the quest?

Same bug for me. They just stand there and you can’t progress. And this bug has been around for how long now? It was such a waste of my time.

Btw, someone mentioned before and that’s also not fixed, going back and getting into the golem at console 2.. no way to get out and you’re stuck that way. :/

Still bugged! We knew it was bugged before, but figured you guys would have fixed it by now… nope.
/confused

Guess it’s either really complicated or really unimportant.

And I experienced this bug as well today… 2 times in a row at the third console… Might be a good idea to fix this?

This bug happened to me just now. I had to redo the instance but this time I did not skip the 2 mini cut scenes. That’s all I did differently and I got through. This might not be related at all, obviously.

The next person to post about this bug please advise if you skipped the little cut-scenes, please.

I just tried playing the mission for achievements just now and I got the bug. They all just stood there, in silence.

Weird, I did the achievements earlier without any problems. Aside from the purple stars not showing up on my map for where to go for each part like they did for the first chapter.

Still bugged, and so am I!

Just started this story a few minutes ago through all the steps (first time doing this story) and I’m also having the same issue. Everyone is standing there and not initiating conversation for “Find out what your friends think you should do next” portion.

Edit: After waiting a while in hopes they would talk, I decided to restart the story mission over. That time the conversation happened instantly.

I had the same problem with Scarlet’s Breakthrough at the end they did not speak so I left the instance and went again but this time I put on the suit (which I didn’t do last time) and the instance played out ok. Hope this helps.

This bug is still alive and well. A year later, more and more of the paywalled LS2 content breaks, and yet the gem store promotions roll on.

Shameful.

This bug re-occurs at random, it seems. I had to restart too in order to be able to proceed with the mission.

Now I am stuck here (and so are many people on my friends list): https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/BUG-Meeting-the-Asura-Merged/page/5#post6050822

Great… How badly must the game be coded for it to get bugged everytime they apply changes (i.e., patches) to it?? Each part of the game should have separate code sections that don’t entwine. I am playing actively only since last December and have encountered so many story mission bugs already that I stopped counting at some point. It’s ridiculous.

So…as crazy as it might sound after all this time, this is STILL bugged? Time to try restarting…

I bump this since it has not been fixed, sadly.

“Secure the third console” fully filled up, all Inquest were killed. The postprocessing effect of activating this killer weapon happens, but Kasmeer does NOT say “It’s beautiful” while it happens, and then the story is stuck there.
Then the step “Find out what your friends think you should do next” becomes active, but no green stars appears over any head, and talking to them reveals dialog fitting to inquest still being attacking. They just stand around now.

If you need further details (though there’s really nothing special or obvious), just throw a kitten at me.

S. first Screenshot in attachment.

It worked on a second attempt.

Anyway, when you’re at it (though probably a completely different thing); one model there is far too up and looks bad (s. second image).

I still have the same issue today. Problem seems to be exact to what everyone else is describing.

Just ran this mission again and the bug is still there Got to the end and the npc’s just stand there doing nothing. Talking to them does nothing. Leaving them there for a while and still nothing.

First time doing this story mode hit the same problem thats been reported for the last 2 years, flash of light then talk to team mates but they not intrested in talking.
