Guild Wars 2

Ever increasing number of bugged DE’s

Over the last couple of days I’ve started to notice an increased number of bugged DE’s on the Gate of Madness server.

I found 3 yesturday while running around Fields of Ruin, and have so far found 2 today, one in Gendarren Fields, the other in Fields of Ruin.

I thought it worth creating a thread to note down the bugged DE’s I’ve found. I’ve just ran around and confirmed that all are still bugged today.

Fields of Ruin could do with a reset or something on the Gate of Madness server as it now has 4 bugged DE’s.

Fields of Ruin (Gate of Madness)
[Group Event] Draw out and defeat the giant Branded griffon.
This event requires collecting bonfire wood from a pack mule, and taking it to a bonefire location. The collection bar is around 95% complete and no more wood can be taken to the pile. When you get close to the pile carrying some wood, you automatically put the wood down, and the bar does not update.

Fields of Ruin (Gate of Madness)
Rescue the villagers and defeat harpy kidnappers
This event is stuck with 1 remaining captive villager. He is hiding within the harpy area and will not move until the harpys are gone. Even clearing the entire area of harpys doesn’t help him move on.

Fields of Ruin (Gate of Madness)
Ogre Wars : Defend Sappers’ Delve from ogres.
This event is stuck on stage 7/8. The idea is to defeat the ogre waves but the last wave is not attacking the Sapper’s Delve location. Instead, an invincible veteran called ‘Ventof the Bloodletter’ is hanging around near ‘Forlorn Gate Waypoint’. There doesn’t seem to be a way to draw him to the event area, and it can be very difficult to escape it he starts smashing you up against a wall repeatedly.

Fields of Ruin (Gate of Madness)
Help Nia rescue Cymbel’s hounds.
Nia is with all three hounds and is just stationary, rather than trying to escape with the dogs now they’ve been found

Gendarren Fields (Gate of Madness)
Unsure what the DE is called. A group of pirates turns up to dig for buried treasure and need to be killed within a time limit. Currently all the pirates are stood on the beach invulnerable, and the DE is not active.

Blazeridge Steppes (Gate of Madness)
The Ogre Assault : Help Lieutenant Fynn and Kor the Warcaller’s assault on the Behemian Grand Kraal.
The event is stuck at the stage ‘Slay the Behemian Grand Kraal ogre chieftain’. Flynn and Kor are in the middle of the zone, but no chieftain has spawned in the area.

The griffon event is also bugged on Blackgate. Asuran Necro, but considering it’s a group event, let’s not pretend the vent isn’t reproducible. Maybe I should just stop doing any events/quests/whatever in this game. It seems that, at the rate they are becoming bugged, eventually we’ll have a nice round number of 100% quests/events bugged. Seriously getting sick of this. I can almost guarantee now when I approach a group event that it’ll be bugged, and I’m not continuing on personal quests, since it seems they’re permanently bugged.

I don’t know about the others yet, but these two have been bugged on Anvil Rock for at least two weeks.

I can say at least for GoM that the Cymbel’s hounds event is still similarly bugged.
