Okay.. first off.. path 2. Your last patch notes said the issue with Dertha at the last part of the dungeon was fixed. this is not the case. it is still very much broken. Ran this path twice today. It bugged both times. The first time, getting her killed and then reviving her fixed the issue.. the second time, even this method didn’t work and we had to quit the dungeon.
Paths 1 and 3… I have run them 3 times today. 3 out of the 4 times it bugged at the last part after the Howler was killed and we got no reward for running the dungeon. All in all, I ran Ascalonian Catacombs 6 times today and was rewarded for completing it a sum total of 2 times.
I submitted a bug for this a couple of times today and a few times in the past. I sincerely hope this is higher rather than lower on your list of bug fixes because it is extremely extremely annoying (I guess most bugs are.. but this one in particular wastes quite a lot of the player’s time)
Thanks in advance.

Did you skip any bosses (not do them in order) or skip the burrow that appears at the start before killing the last boss?

Edit: Just like to add I did all 3 paths this morning and didn’t have any issues.

has nothing to do with skipping anything. I (everyone) skips all the time.. i have skipped AC bosses dozens of times… either way.. even if it has to do with skipping, it’s a bug… and now it has been reported awaiting a fix.

Did you read the thread you linked to? Several people there mention that the NPCs get stuck even when they kill everything in the dungeon.

Well I disagree. If you skip bosses and are unable to complete the dungeon, then it’s not a bug. I understand what you mean, some of the bosses you are able to skip, if done properly. What I meant was did someone aggro those bosses. Once a bosses has been aggrod (and its objective is in your log) it’s been my experience that you cannot complete the dungeon without killing them.

Regardless, this doesn’t really deserve a second, third or umpteenth thread. Search function is your friend.

This seems to be closer to the truth. I have been in groups that:
A) Skipped the first burrow and Kholer
B) Skipped the first burrow but killed Kholer

In either case, we did not aggro the boss[es] we skipped and I have yet to end up in a group that had the NPC[S] bug out.

Of course, the groups I have been in where we killed everything also had no bugged NPC[S].

you are arguing things that don’t matter… whether it’s because of skipping or not is irrelevant. ANet has not intended it to break down and not give you rewards if you skip 1 of the bosses or a mob here and there and the fact that it does (whether or not it’s because of skipping) means that it’s a bug.. and i am hear reporting a bug hoping to get it fixed. Don’t care in the least what’s causing the bug and how i can make it not happen.. i want it fixed so no matter what i do, it doesn’t happen. If the final solution is to spend an extra 20 minutes on each run and kill everything.. well i’d just laugh at that.

This IS frustrating… we didn’t skip anything and killed everything it’s still broken.

The developers have already stated that it’s perfectly fine to skip any skippable bosses. Anyway, the NPC bugs are unrelated to Kholer, the troll or the spider (which are the only skippable bosses in AC).
