Guild Wars 2

There is a glitched corridor in the cavern that allows entrance to the other side of the wall “decorations” . I assume that the glitch usually comes from one of the sharks swimming in there and getting lost. Sometimes you can swim in behind it, but some parts of that are just too narrow for characters.

The entrance to the glitched part is to the upper right of the cave entrance (looking from inside the cave)

In short: the missing shark that makes the skillpoint uncompletable usually is within the rock.

Edit: seems it has been already mentioned, there

Been waiting a few days. Thanks god I haven’t been waiting a few weeks.

My wife and I tried to attempt the skill challenge and the one shark is on the rocks in green and the other two are green they will not interact with us. so we cannot complete map completion bugged please fix thank you I have included a screen shot as well.

Skill challenge is broke on Yaks Bend Server too.

Still bugged after 2 months and only 6 posts.

I suspect this is only bugged on some servers and therefore has low priority for the Devs.

I have reported the bug in game using the Support Ticket system but I am not holding my breath for an early fix.

I think the glitch “comes and goes”. On my server, DragonBrand, I was told it was bugged about a month ago, but it wasn’t. One time they were green and friendly (like Flipper!), another time they were spawning in the rocks. I’m afraid to go back and see what is there now…

Best to attempt this right after a game update (maintenance, patch or expansion) and see if it works then.

It was bugged yesterday on SoR too, but today when i went back i just had to kill two normal sharks underwater and one more on the ground above.

Adding yet another bug report to this. Acsalon server. It’s the last thing I need to do to complete this map.

I just did the shark on blackgate, in Sparkfly Fen…..However, all the sharks were above ground, and green, the one tagged with the skill point was also green and on top of the rocks. I looked over to my left and in a tiny pool of water was a red shark, killed it and got the skill point completion. Pretty sure its not by design, lol. but it worked.

Bugged in the ceiling on Blackgate server. I’m getting awfully sick of Skill Points being bugged and pointless to even waste my time with because every time I go through for map completion SOMETHING is bugged.

Been there. Done that twice.

I know its frustrating, best bet is to go right after a server reset. ANet is still “working on it” (they are working on alot, but never seem to get it right xD)

And god only know when the next server reset is

but the point is; I shouldn’t have to rely on a.net to reset the server at some random undisclosed time to finish my map…

Are you sure you jumping in the pool and swimming underneath and not from lake side. Ask one of your servers mesmers to portal you through wall.

I’m where I got it on my 3 other characters with 100% map. And what do you mean portal through the wall. The mob is suck in the ceiling pretty sure portalling won’t effect the threat.

This is Sparkfly Fen. At this point, the event will show up when you go down into the cave where the sharks are, but you can fight them, as two of the minions are “swimming” above ground.

Tried getting on my mesmer and jarring her loose with a Portal. Wonderful part is transferring on and off my server isn’t really possible considering Blackgate is full.

lol sorry was being playfully sarcastic, Blackgate… mesmer… wv3 inside joke.

Is it even possible to reset a single zone because this skill point being down is effecting more than just one person.

Which server is this? It’s the same on Blackgate as well.

It is also bugged like this on Northern Shiverpeaks.

So that’s 3 servers I know of; I think we should get some more people to come in here and find out if there are more bugged so we can at least get a reset

It would be nice, but the thing is that it’s not the first topic to talk about this problem. So far though, no changes have been reported about it.

in sparkfly fen…

Bugged here too: Fort Aspenwood

I don’t know what is supposed to happen here, but 2 ancient sharks are in the cave below and one is floating on a rock above.

Blackgate’s are brood are dead and Pistrix is hiding in a rock.

It’s Isle of Janthir. Right before I got there, people in the map chat were talking about how it’s bugged in the ceiling (like other threads were saying), but when I got there, It’s actually on land, hence why I made a thread.

4 servers experiencing the problem then. Magical.

Tarnished Coast, it’s been like this on and off for two weeks.

There are actually at least two other threads on this, which have already been merged.

This is happening on Darkhaven as well.

This is 6 out of what 21? Come on a.net….

99 percent World Completion, Im missing 1 skillpoint. Guess which one? Ancient Shark Pistrix. It was bugged on Far Shiverpeaks a week ago. I dont know current status on FSP becuase Im on Kodash now, but its bugged here too.

AFTER 2 months and STILL BUGGED

gate of madness

and this is what you get when they promise things they cant deliver

Skill Challenge S.W. of Toad’s Head waypoint bugged, been this way for some time any idea when it get fixed

Piken Square is also bugged.

The sharks are also bugged on Tarnished Coast. All four sharks are “swimming” on the rocks above ground, and all were red. They can not be killed, though they did take damage to the point of nearly dying, then turned green.

I still got the skill point, even though I didn’t technically kill any of the sharks.

Finally got it this morning (Sorrow’s Furnace) all four sharks in the cave and hostile.

I’m having the same problem, early and still the day was not giving a little to complete the Skill Point.

Please if you can send the solution soon appreciate.
Thank you

This Skill Point has been bugged for over a month now on Anvil Rock. Are we ever going to get a fix ? The Sharks are stuck on 1/2 – 2/3 and also stuck in the wall from time to time. Also the SP Shark NPC does not respond. This is the several times that I have went there to complete the area.

The sharks are created somewhere inside the earth. You cannot fight them. Please fix soon. I see there are posts about this going way back from Sept. This bug prevents map completion.

There is no bug. You can enter inside the cave where the sharks are by the small water area near land.

I also thought at first time this was bug, but then checked wiki and it was fine.

Yep, bugged on Anvil Rock too. How is this going on for 3 months and no one from modeator to developer commenting on the thread. Has anyone submitted a bug report?

Still bugged on Tarnished Coast.

For those on realms where the sharks get stuck: It IS still possible to complete the skillpoint. Even with it broken as it is now, I was able to complete it on two toons.

Enter the cave as normally to trigger them to turn hostile, if they’re not already.

KIll any that are in the cave, or the surrounding water. If there are no further visible targets and it still shows the event in progress, check the surrounding cave walls. I was able to aoe/condition damage a shark stuck in the cave wall down to finish the event. If necessary, bind a key to ‘next target’ so you can select the shark(s) through the wall.

I actually started hanging around the skillpoint and offering to help people complete it this way for a little while too.

So yeah, the primary bug here is that the sharks do not reset properly, and sometimes end up in the wall or even outside of their cave.

I was able to get the Ancient Shark Pistrix to come out on top of the rock by using the “Fear Me!” shout with the warrior about three times until he came out of the rock. He then sits there as you are free to kill him without him fighting back. I assume any similar skills that make him either run to you or from you will move him. My server is Fergusson’s Crossing.

This is located in Stone of Hazaan, in the area of Sparkfly Fen, this has been buggy since the game first started and it seems that it cannot be fixed, we cannot complete the map if this is not working

thanks

I have submitted several bug reports on this same problem. The first couple of times the sharks were swimming in the hole and there were only three of them, Pistrix and two of the lesser sharks, the progress bar showed a third shark that still needed to be killed but the shark was nowhere to be seen to kill it. The last time I returned, a couple of days later to see if this issue had been fixed, two of the sharks were green/non-hostile and flopping around up top on the ground not even in the water! However, the third hostile sharks’ life bar would be visible for a few seconds each time I came up out of the water nearby. I was eventually able to target it to keep it visible and them swim in the hole with Pistrix and use the guardian skill “Pillar of Light” and my “Virtue of Justice” to degen/burn it to death and finally get the skill point to finish the area. The problem seems to be that the sharks are being generated by the game INSIDE of the walls of the water cave and not in the water itself. When inside of the walls they are not always visible or in places any skills can reach.

Thanks, Bill.

I came across this one today, and fought the three brood, but Pistrix is nowhere to be seen.

Thanks, Bill.

I came across this one today, and fought the three brood, but Pistrix is nowhere to be seen.

It’s same here, I’m clearing this map today. And the shark is somehow on the rock above, not in the underwater cave. And all of them are green. So obviously a glitch that hope will be fixed soon @@

Same with me… the shark name is green and i can’t start the skill challenge…

I did this challenge with my necro this weekend on Jade Quarry. All sharks were above the ground with green names, but the challenge was saying 2/3. Went to the underwater cave where we should fight the sharks and voilá, the last shark was there and it was red. Killed it, got the skill point.

Try go to the cave and look for any red shark. Also, try using an underwater ranged weapon and set auto target on and start attacking, it will probably tag anything stuck on the walls, and maybe it will be possible to hit it.
