Guild Wars 2

Hello all,

I just got 80 last week and I finally got enough karma to buy a full set of karma gear. I saved up 2 months worth of karma pots and used a karma booster to drink them all, so I was ready to go shopping. It is my understanding that I need to take over one of the temples in Orr in order to buy it. I finally motivated enough people to do this very thing, but it looks like the events are all bugged on my server (Darkhaven).

So with no one really doing the events anymore, and with them being bugged, is there any way for a new level 80 to acquire the exotic karma gear? Or are we just out of luck?

What do you mean by bugged?

Well the temple of Melandru one won’t progress past the event where you save Gavbeorn’s Landing. After completing that event, the status says something about the pact preparing to assault Melandru’s temple, but none of the NPCs are interactable to begin the next event, eventually the Gavbeorn’s Landing event will just start again.

As for the Gates of Arah meta event, we can’t progress past the one where you must keep the landing clear. The orange bar will never complete even though there are no more Risen to kill and it will eventually time out, starting the whole chain again.

There is already a thread about it in the bug forum, so it looks like this is happening on other severs too.

This still appears to be bugged. Id like to get armor but the Temple is ALWAYS contested and the meta event never seems to progress.

Making merchants availability dependant on major group events succeeding is a huge mistake, particularly with the fact that the area hardly has any people in it any more.

Try and do it Monday. I think they normally reset the servers late Sunday.

Sux they are bugged for you, This is why I think Cultural Gear should be Exotic, and be bought with either Karma or gold. Just keep farming Karma constanly, The Karma does not stop at full exotics, trust me you will need as much Karma as possible. 1 piece of Exotic Karma gear is 42,000 Karma, so you will burn through Karma fast.
