Guild Wars 2

I’m glad this forum was created! I was working on the living story, and hit a bit of an impass. Acts of kindness was easy enough. Finding the hidden items to return? Okay, I cheated on the last couple. But killing invaders seems a REALLY slow thing, because most of the events seem to be bugged. The event is active, but 0 invaders are left.

Am I missing something or is it just borked?

Yes it does seem to be bugged in some places.
Last week it could only be done at one point on Wayfarer foothills.
Absolutely undo-able on Diessa Plateau.
But this week I noticed the ones on Wayfarer started working again.
This is on Jade Quarry by the way.

So yes they do need to sort that out, I would have been done a lot sooner if not for that issue.

They lock up seemingly at random.

When I was gathering my first 2 lost and found items, every event I saw was working just fine. As I was gathering my second 2, I saw one single bugged event, still pretty good. This last time when I went to get the final 2 items, though… I saw no less than 3 bugged events (all in Diessa Plateau). But the one event that I saw bugged the first time was working, so… yah. Its not any one specific event that seems to get stuck.

Though Diessa Plateau events do seem to bug more often, at least from what I’ve seen. I’ve never seen a bugged one on Wayfarer (well, I saw one bugged instance of the geyser event, but thats different), though the post above seems to indicate those can bug as well.

And of course, as with most bugged events it varies by server. This is all on Tarnished Coast.

I wouldn’t worry about this too much as I’m sure when the future parts of this come out and an inevitable attack on that gated area happens the mass killing of them all will probably count.

I remember camping those gate/door things at the xmas event killing the amount needed for that title only to find out a few days later when they released the maze place that killing them all there still counted.

I did that too and I was moderately peeved. For that reason I’m not going to spend hours trying to get that finished on the expectation that you are correct.

It because they ran out of invaders.

The killing invaders is easy, I did it with out trying. When the second part came out I went looking for the changes, and before I knew it I had almost 100 kills. I stopped at that point and finished it off a few days ago in just a short amount of time. So in my opinion it should have required more kills.

When there are no invaders left you need to hit portal/vehicle for the event to continue and spawn more invaders.

no, sometimes there are no invaders and no vehicle/portal, but the event is still active. It is a bug. But I agree, even with bugs, so many of the new camps get attacked every 5 minutes that I got the invader title in minutes, especially when our group of 5 would get hit by dozens at a time.

Because of the DE scaling system, if you did it in groups you’d probably get the achievement in no time. It spawns many more of those invaders when you’re in a group – I’d say over 20 if you had 10 people at the same event.
I definitely wouldn’t want to raise the bar though, because the invader killing events are too similar to each other. Do we really want to add another boring grind?

From what I have seen it actually looks like the event’s are (possibly the portals) stuck under the ground/maps. So no portals no invaders, this is what the problem is. It is not at all of the places where these events happens only some and I am sure it’s not server wide. We all know (well we all should by now :P) that when events get bugged they are for certain servers and don’t effect them all.

This should be fixed with the reset that comes with the patch tomorrow so I wouldn’t worry too much.
