Guild Wars 2

I have tried and tried to get the first map fragment from “Inspector Ellen Kiel’s scavenger hunt” without success. I got the soggy bag, but I am not able to get her to give me the name of the npc I am to go see next.

I understand in order to get the initial map fragment I will be UNABLE to finish phase 1 of this badly designed event.

I am not very happy with Anet at the moment. I’ve tried several different things without success because your event is not working.

You had to have traded in the soggy bag and gotten the map fragment before 12PM PST / 3PM EST today.

This information was posted in the forums. It is in the post at the top of the anouncements list at the right side.

Hi,

We’d like to bring further clarification as we’re about to begin Phase 2 in 15 minutes (Saturday November 17 at 12:00 PM PST / 9:00 PM CET) :

Here are the Phase 1 steps that you need to make sure you completed before Phase 2 starts:
1.Talk to Inspector Ellen Kiel in the Grand Piazza of Lion’s Arch
2.Examine the wreckage on the shore in Lion’s Arch west of Sanctum Harbor waypoint
3.Return to Kiel with the soggy bag
4.Talk to Consortium Subdirector Blingg at the new Consortium Gift Shop point of interest, northwest of Fort Marriner in Lion’s Arch
5.*Receive the map fragment. *

The subsequent steps of Phase 1 can be finished after Phase 2
1.Defeat Noll and his bodyguards (this is currently bugged and we’ll push a fix for that later)
2.Find Canach in Garenhoff
3.Defeat Canach (this NPC is currently on a timer)
4.Return to Kiel for your reward.

Other dynamic events are not required for completing Phase 1.

All players will be able to play and complete Phase 2, independently from whether they played or completed Phase 1.

Thanks.

This part is bugged. I cannot get her to take the soggy bag or give me info to get to Bling.

My question is, why did I not get the option? I was told I did not have to finish phase 2 in order to finish phase 1 or visa versa.

Then later I saw a post (sorry cannot remember where) that I would be able to go back and complete phase 1 after phase 2. This is not happening either?

I logged in last night to do some of these only to see the event popup on my mini map but nothing going on. Lots of players just standing around and talk in /map about it being bugged out. I was pretty disappointed. One of a kind events that you can’t even do because they are broken. I waited around for a while then gave up and logged out.

I’m starting to feel a little embarrassed about giving my three free trials to some friends now.

Canch is gone (for Gandara at last). I only saw him on the ship at Southsun Cove. I find that rather frustrating. Noll is finally fixed for me, I get the mail, and now Canach can’t be talked to any longer. Didn’t Anet say we can still finish phase 1 even if 2 has already started?

Other than that, I really love events like this (and I’m pretty sure I don’t need to remind you of its shortcomings like lag and such), so keep them coming!
The only thing that must change though, is the length. Three days is too short if every day has a new phase. I can’t play that long just to keep up. Halloween did this better, I believe.

/cheer Anet~
