Guild Wars 2

Hi!
I just started playing GW2, and loving it so far.
The only problem is, it freezes in a mission.
I’m in a mission called “Time for a promotion”.
When i complete the objectives;
- Defeat the arena champion
- Defeat the giant devourer.

Nothing happens. I kill the devourer, and other Charrs run into the arena together with Urvan Steelbane. But then they just stop and stare at me. Nothing happens.
Is there anyone who can solve my problem, or tell me what im doing wrong?
I’m currently level 4, if that makes a difference.

Hope someone can help!

Hi nogc,

I haven’t played this myself, but there are a few reports of people who had the same problem on http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Talk:Time_for_a_Promotion There is however no known workaround and I would figure there would be a lot more people complaining if it was a consequent error. So I guess your kinda unlucky and hit a rare bug. If there are no charr here with a workaround, I would advise you to make a support ticket, within 3-4 days you should get a reply and a possible solution. You can do this at: http://en.support.guildwars2.com/

In the mean time just go ahead with playing the rest off the game by doing renown hearts, skillchallenges and dynamic events. It doesn’t matter if you level up, when you get a fix and can catch up with your personal story you will be downleveld to the level you should normally do it.

Thanks for the fast reply. Don’t really want to wait 3-4 days before playing again..
Do you think it would happen again, if i just started over?

I found a fix myself!
I noticed after playing the mission a few times, that a little video tape kinda symbol appears right above my characters head, right about the time, when the movie is supposed to show. So i played the mission again, and when i arrived to the time of the movie i spammed my enter key.
So just after i killed the devourer creature, i started pressing my enter key. And some how it worked.
Hope this works out for anyone else, having this problem. Saved me a lot of time, and frustration! :-)

I’d still suggest bug reporting it if the movie isn’t playing correctly.

ive been having that same problem and yes its very frustraiting. thank you nogc for putting your fix on there now i can try that i hope it works for me too
