The bugged event “Rescue the villagers and defeat harpy kidnappers” in the Tanglerot Hills area of Fields of Ruin has been broken for as long as I’ve been playing the game and it is blocking anyone from ever achieving Sunrise, as it is a required event for the achievement Sunrise I. I would like to call attention to this because Anet has ignored many, many bug reports from many players regarding this event, and it should take priority over small new features such as a few new bosses.
The bug is that the NPC’s who have been kidnapped do not have any options for you to rescue them. There is one in particular who always says something along the lines of “Thank goodness I didn’t get eaten! I will never look at a chicken the same again!”
Anet has no problem fixing other bugged events, but I find it hard to believe this one has slipped through for so long. Multiple reports on the Guild Wars 2 Wiki confirm this event has stayed broken continuously for at least 2 years now.
