Wow dude, cut them some slack. They don’t have to hold our hands and walk us through their work you know.
The fact that they’re merging all the complaints into one thread should tell you they at least noticed. I agree responses and acknowledgement are nice but it’s undoable when a lot of stuff is going on at the same time.

Yeah I’m having the same issue, quite annoying as I really need the mastery point.

Jup, I have it too.

Here I am, just trying to get my sinister trinkets by playing living world season two story and achievements, but nope. Encountering a bug both in point of no return (which anet are fixing) and now this one too.

I don’t believe that was the point. The point is that this is a serious piece of paywalled content that is blocked off entirely, and consuming massive amounts of player time and causing lots of frustration to players that paid extra money for this content.

And these are not the only issues, I just ran into this bug, over a year old, which is still alive and well:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/lwd/Discovering-Scarlet-s-Breakthrough/page/1

In other major games, players would have at least been compensated (at the very least, via in-game rewards) for their time wasted in having to repeat entire missions over and over – the fact that this is essentially paid DLC that does not currently function further exacerbates the situation.

Still bugged
Wanted to see if it progresses if the asura dies. Funny thing is, I managed to kill him with fire elemental powder and ogre pet whistle but the prompt still appears even though there is no guard anymore

ah, any idea about the fix patch time?

Around a week

Joseflin.7598:

I get the same “Can’t Knock Out The Guard Using F Key” error as well.

Me too, with every single one of my characters!

I was able to play through the mission before the late January patch without a problem. It’s mid March now. How long can it take to fix something vital like a story mission??

P.S. I reported this over a week ago and it still has not been fixed. And looking at the early posts here, this issue occured before (a year ago!). What is going on? I would like to finish the storyline as do my friends. (insert angry emoticon)

same problem , cant knock off the guard , pls fix this .

:( Having the same issue, cant knockout the krewe guard. NOT GOOD AT ALL

Also cannot knock out the guard. The option to press F appears, but does nothing. As a result, cannot continue the story after paying for it. Please fix.

I can’t do it either. Any chance this will be fixed on the next Tuesday update?

I get the same “Can’t Knock Out The Guard Using F Key” error as well.

For me it is also bugged. I read in earlier posts that Anet had trouble replicating it. So @anet is ther anything we poeple with the bug can do to help fix this faster ??

As a player that PAID to purchase LS2 I demand that this bug be fixed ASAP!

Wow… I understand its not easy to fix these issues but seriously?? This needs to be fixed ASAP its bloody ridiculous, as someone who wants to do everything in the correct order I cant progress with HoT or any of the games story content until this is fixed.

Come on Anet…

2 days ago, i bought the storyline for 200 gems (ingame gold) and it’s all buggy they should remove the story until it’s fixed… hope they fix this soon so i can finish my luminescent armor

Having the same issue here despite completing it a while back on different characters.

Just because it’s not on the tracker doesn’t mean we haven’t noticed. We’ve been investigating for longer than it’s been on the tracker.

As a fellow programmer I would as a quick fix simply modify the UI.
Change the action buttons to make 1 have a function that knocks out the guard. Since you have a different bar while in stealth mode. Instead of trying to find out which script is halting the event from triggering.

Broken for me too. Really annoyed to have a game breaking bug like this in paywall blocked content when you’ve clearly known about this for some time given the dates on this thread. As a game dev student, it’s even more annoying. If you’ve known about it this long and can’t find a fix then it shouldn’t be being up for sale until it’s playable, and you should be adding in an override (eg 1-5 skill that auto skips the asura to allow progression) until you find out what is breaking it. Regretting buying HoT now and returning to my 3yo account if paid content is going to be unplayable.

Still Buggy. PLEASEEEEEEEE

No, that was a different issue: the challenge mote didn’t show up. You’d have to be able to beat the story once to do the challenges – knocking out the guard wasn’t an issue.

yobfael.3158:

Its fixed. Myself and a couple friends were able to finish it yesterday. The mote took a couple seconds to show up on my friends run. but that is about it

This is from 10 months ago… roughly two months after the problem was reported. But, that was because the devs had trouble replicating the problem.

Elaenaa.1057

I’m able to get up to the point where I have to knock out the krewe guard. The option shows up to press F to knock him out, but every time I click it it does nothing.

The thread claims the original post is a year old, but it is actually from 11 days ago. I don’t know why the moderators merged the challenge-mote-thread and this one, the issues are very different.

By the way, the current issue was introduced with the latest patch from March 8. The patch notes don’t mention any changes in LS2 story missions, unfortunately.

Interesting idea, but knocking out the guard doesn’t use a bar skill. It’s an F key interaction. Do you think simply using a different key binding would work? (I’m not a programmer btw )

Ugghhh, bought the entire Living Story Season 2 (because I missed it), and I bought HoT expansion, because I love the story and I wanted to complete it. Now I can’t even finish Living Story S2 because of this bug. Anet pls?

If you’re a programmer mayhaps you should apply to go work for ANet!

They are hiring programmers after all

Leaving a progression blocker like this bugged for so long is unacceptable.

The first post appears to be a year old. It seems like this bug has happened in the past; got fixed and there it is again.

And now we’ll have to wait months or maybe years to see it fixed just like the rest.

rly? a year ago? i cannot even send a bug in game … is anything working in this game? or they gave up on it?

This thread is now 12 days old. It was merged with an 1 year old thread of an issue which was fixed 10 months ago.

If this problem persists can I get a gem refund for my unused portion of LS? I could spend those gems for things that worked and maybe in a month or two when they figure it out I can buy the last two chapters.

Bugged for me as well. Hope to get some heads up about this, since it blocks off story progression, unlike a standalone that can simply be ignored.

It’s been bugged for me as well. First time through LS2.

Asura back then must have had extremely hard heads. Cannot knock him out. Caithe won’t even attempt it!

Attempted “Meeting the Asura” on my Sylvari Daredevil multiple times. Bugs out trying to knock the guard out. Thinking that maybe my character being a Sylvari herself, and/or Daredevil/Thief is messing it up, I went into the story instance with my Human Chronomancer. Bugged at the same spot with the guard.

Just wanted to pop down and say that I’v been having the same issue as well. I hope they fix it asap so I can continue story progression.

Also bugged for me, I hope they fix it soon.

I have same problem with guard asura

Well, same here. I guess we just have to wait, no salty words will make Arena fix this faster, right? We just need to be patient. And yes, I bought it too, but for in-game gold, meaby that’s why I’m not that angry about this.

In the meantime we can just do one thing – praise the mighty and invincible Asura god!

Hey Anet, could you take the time to fix gem bought content instead of adding new useless stuff to the gem store. One NPC interaction can’t possibly take two weeks to fix…
Did you fire all your programmers to replace them with “managers”? Less meetings, more fixing the game please.

Just stumble into this bug as well.. very frustrating that such an old bug is blocking the whole mission to continue.. When will it be fixed?!

This is ridiculous. I did this story on another character right after HoT had been released, and it worked flawlessly. But now, months later, it’s bugged? How is this even possible? As a paying customer I am far from satisfied!

I can understand that programmers encounter issues that slow the process of fixing this Bug, if that’s the case, but what I find upsetting is the fact that you don’t take the decency of addressing us, Your Paying (UNSATISFIED) Customers, about the progress of your work on it. We have the right, as this is an item from the Gem Store, to at least be aware of the situation and be well-informed until it is fixed and we have the product we paid for as we paid for it.

I’d also like to note here that a later story step, “The Mystery Cave”, is bugged in the same manner. While I’m holding the Divine Fire, I still can’t interact with the Mysterious Wall (but like the Asura glitch, my skillbar briefly enters a combat state).

I bought these story chapters recently for the first time and I’m really frustrated that I’m a) unable to complete the chapters
and b) therefore unable to complete the achievements to work towards the luminescent gear.
This is real money that I’ve spent on this aspect of the game and it’s just not good enough.

I understand that finding the root cause of the bug can be complicated, but can we please get a hotfix for this and the Mysterious Wall bug at least in the meantime ?
This is extremely frustrating…

This bug is terrible. Whenever I try to knock out the Asura guard in the Season 2 story “Meeting the Asura,” it just doesn’t plain work. Nothing happens. I cannot continue. I am stuck.

This is very bad, Arenanet. I purchased all of the Season 2 content to help you guys. If this isn’t fixed soon, I will have to ask for a partial refund.

I really hope this will be patched today. Two weeks for a bug that blocks all progress is pretty bad, but another two weeks would be terrible. Shouldn’t be too hard to code a workaround, even if they cannot find the root cause. We just need some kind of way to progress through this quest as well as the other one that was bugged in the LS.

This is a game breaking bug FROM A YEAR AGO and you are investigating it now ? This is just a scam, how can you have a year old bug and just say that you noticed it.

“This is a game breaking bug FROM A YEAR AGO and you are investigating it now ? This is just a scam, how can you have a year old bug and just say that you noticed it.”

It is a different bug. That one got fixed already. Like this one needs to be because it has completely stymied my ability to do the expansion content because I need to finish the LS so I know what’s actually happening.
