Guild Wars 2

I have been trying to do the Meta Event in Dredgehaunt Cliffs, In Pursuit of Knowledge.
But, for the map I end up on, it seems to never go in order of events listed in the wiki and there has never been a Glorious Chest appear after defeating the Commissar.
I have tried in vain to do these events in order but the Commissar always seems to spawn prematurely leading me to race to the wp and to get a hit on him before campers do him in; or he does not spawn at all (to be fair I have camped it too out of frustration). I have not been able to do the events in order as at least two of them seem to be going on simultaneously making things confusing.

Does anyone have any tips to help me get through the meta and actually get the glorious chest at the end? Is this the way this meta is supposed to operate or is it bugged? If its bugged is there any way to unlock it or restart it? Im finding this meta event needless frustrating.

Hi, as far as I know the Commissar can spawn when the meta-event says “Dredge have retreated to Tribulation Rift”, but if you checked the Wiki already, it should pretty much say the same.
I experience the problem too ’cause sometimes I do the pre-events and sometimes not.

I would suggest the following – first check if people are camping at the door – if there only 2 or 3, go do the pre-events yourself.
If there are already more people waiting, you might just stick with them …

About the chest – I am actually not sure how this one is called, but it is right in the cave when Commissar gets defeated.
If you have Pact Mastery, you should auto-loot it everytime.

AFAIK those are not pre-events in the same other pre-events work. They don’t act as a chain but a gate. The commissar has 20m timer and will spawn if those camps are not under dredge control. Before they added the timer it used to spawn it much quicker.
