Guild Wars 2

Trying to unlock a trait by battling the Branded Devour Queen.

But to do this I need to complete the ‘Devouring the Brand’ meta on Iron Marches

Bugged at “The Sentinels at Branwatch Encampment are preparing to assault the brand” The event ring is up over Sentinel Whiptail, but he isn’t moving.

On IP: 64.25.33.91

There’s another report on this back on page 4 or so, and there’s an explanation of the details over on the wiki. Apparently it’s been happening off and on since launch. I would presume it’s going to reset at some point, but it’s been days since I started checking on it and there’s still nothing.

It will reset whenever there is a new build, or if the map happens to become full and a new Megaserver instance is generated. Your best bet is to head to the map on July 29th, since that’s when the next patch is scheduled.

Shame that this bug still isn’t fixed though.

OooOOO.
I guess I should have known.
Been trying to do this meta for 3 days know and all this time I thought
the event was on some kind of timer and was not starting.
I decided to camp the NPC Whipkitten for hours and I even did the event
that is supposed to trigger it.
Although I have to admit the signs were clear.
Whipkitten was not moving.
There was a giant friendly devourer also not moving near day’s labor,
and the Bloodkitten NPC was also standing doing nothing amidst her
dead comrades.
One would suppose that when they chose what events to tie with trait
unlocking,they tested that these events were not bugged….
Typical GW2.
It’s ok they will fix it.
Right after they fix the immobilize bug.
What is 2 years when compared to an eternity?

With all of the attention in Iron Marches being spent on fixing the new LS2 storyline issues there, I notice no fix for the Devouring the Brand meta. With the LS2 ep 3 patch of 7/29, the escort quest (“Escort Sentinel Scalebrusher”) which triggers the meta either doesn’t start at all or doesn’t progress once started. Prior to this LS2 update, the Sentinel Whiptail would get stuck on a ledge in the quest “The Sentinels at Branwatch Encampment are preparing to assault the brand,” so the chain is broken even earlier than before.

This meta event gives a master trait at the end and should be fixed with some priority.

Now the event that supposedly starts the meta is buged and won’t reset.
" Escort Sentinel Scalebrusher and his devourers to the pen " passes through
an area where one the new events takes place and that causes it to bug.
Again typical GW2.Minimal to none quality checks in this game.
Players are 24/7 beta testers whether they like it or not.

New build released today and event still bugged. I’ve leveled my new guardian on the pretense of not buying traits, but actually doing the events and such to unlock them. This is preventing me from unlocking the trait that I want. Surely this could be fixed after been bugged for so long….

Still bugged as of today. I managed to walk Sentinel Scalebrush to the brandwatch encampment, but then he just goes into a house and nothing triggers. He eventually leaves the house and goes back to the starting point of his escort mission and you have to do the whole, collect eggs, tame devourers, and escort scalebrush again. I need my traits!!!!
