Guild Wars 2

Battle of Fort Trinity still bugged (Personal Story) Check attachment :/

Would like to second this, been lurking in the other Fort Trinity thread and was very happy to hear that this would be fixed in the 10/22 update for co-op.

Unfortunately my fiancée and I tried 3x last night and continued to be stuck at the Defend the Gate step. No more Risen appear after the initial wave. We have been trying to progress the story for 2 weeks.

I’ve tried to do it co-op and solo but it always bugs out on me. Either I don’t get a second wave defending the gate or I do and then nothing happens. I’m disappointed after reading the patch notes 10/22 that stated it was fixed. I’ll be happy when it is.

Annnnnd I’m happy! I restarted it again and I have completed it. Epicness! Worth the wait for me. Ty!

Same for my buddy. I do it month ago, and now try help him. We try 21 times. And always it stucked after killing undeads near gates. Not triggered cutscenes. It so…. But ArenaNet make pumpkings and made real money on chest opening lottery!!!! It more importanly……

SOLUTION ( BEEN POSTED HERE FEW WEEKS AGO):

BUMP THIS

1) Let the Risen kill the arrow carts.
2) Let the Risen kill all NPCs
3) Get rid of the Risen and rezz NPCs
4) Wait one second and there you go..

I know it’s a slight workaround but better than nothing worked on first try. Thanks to the original poster whos name i forgot.

@Jeffrey (Arenanet) saw you respond on the other thread to redirect discussion here.

Saw you state that you tried to reproduce bug with 1, 2, 5 parties but no issues.

Would like to give you more info in case it helps you reproduce the bug.

Participants:
Asura Male Ranger ,Lvl 80 (story initiator)
Asura Female Necromancer ,Lvl 77 (has not completed story but at same story progression)

1. Skip to end first story.
2. Save logging camp mission triggers.
3. Run into logging camp. There are 3 approaches.
I. Left side of hill.
II. Left side of hill by using the road.
III. Right side of hill through south of camp.
IV. Far right – go round the trees and enter via east side of camp.
We consistently find that approach i and iii do not trigger the NPC speech that
says “defend the gate” when the Defend the Gate mission triggers.
IV does trigger the speech. Have not tried II.
4. Kill risen in logging camp. Defend the Gate mission triggers .
Defend the gate npc speech occurs depending on route chosen in 3.
5. Depart logging camp via left side of hill (route I) and head towards gate.
6. In the distance Risen are fighting NPCs by gate. As we approach Risen spawn on the road.
7. Kill off newly-risen spawn and risen by gate.
8. No more risen appear.

Please note that I have completed the Fort Trinity story solo with a different character. This only seems to happen when I try this co-op.

Many thanks , I hope this helps.

Someone mentioned a fix, and it did work, which is to stay on the road when going from the logging camp and back. I had the same glitch, just one player, and redid it, following the path rather than cutting directly across at any point. Hope that helps.

Still having this problem, tried the solutions. There are never enough Risen to kill the guards.

During the fourth try of the night, Trahearne became unresponsive for me. I could highlight him, but it only showed “Greet” instead of “Talk.” When I took that option, it flipped me around to speak to the woman standing to Trahearne’s right (my left). The same thing happened with my guild leader, we were both trying the quest, alternating who activated it.

Characters involved:
Male Sylvari Engineer, level 80
Female Human Elementalist, level 70

@Doireann Devir, thank you. We managed to finish the mission tonight by doing exactly as you suggested – stay on the road on the way to the logging camp and back.

I can confirm that this (Battle of Fort Trinity, Defend the Gate) is still bugged at least for solo play. I tried it 3 times tonight, and got stuck the same way each time.

I tried doing it too. Just today. I’m lv 71 and I still can’t get passed the point where I have to “defend the gate” I just get a few mobs. Kill them.. and nothing.. nothing happens after that.

I have been stuck on this for over a month. I have tried every “stand on your head and twirl 8 times” trick in this thread. Just fix it anet.

@Doireann Devir, thank you, this worked for me

Can confirm – still bugged. Solo. Didn’t try the solutions yet.

Just came across this bug.

I’ve done it on two other characters without issue.

Same/similar issue here… Works fine up until the “Defend the Gates” bit – some undead spawn, they get killed and then it all just stops – the NPCs stand around, nothing new spawns and no one will give me any meaningful dialogue.

Tried twice so far, played solo, Lvl 73 Necromancer.

It is still bugged for me at “Defend the Gate”. I tried repeatedly a month ago with no success and reported it at the time. Just tried again today since I had heard that it was fixed, but it’s still not working right. I clear all the undead that appears and then all the NPCs just stand around. I’m soloing it on my 80 Guardian.

Update: Just tried Doireann’s suggestion and it worked! Whatever you do, don’t take any shortcuts through the woods!

I found the other proposed fix worked – let the Risen destroy the artillery units at the front gates, then everything continues as it should… Of course, by then all the NPCs helping you are dead
