Guild Wars 2

I’m sure this topic has been made before, but Captain Wiley is back at it again, refusing to spawn and generally being a jerk to anyone trying to complete their Predator collection. His event hasn’t spawned in several hours, across multiple servers, making it literally impossible to progress in the collection.

Anybody have any idea how to force a spawn? Or is this just as widespread a problem as I’ve heard?

Still out here, after the patch. He was apparently killed once, after the new ip’s spawned him, and hasn’t respawned since. So, the bug is very much still alive.

Loving me this collection.

Wiley can be found as an elite NPC in Wiley’s Cove by default; when his event is active, he swims to a sunken ship in the northern part of Lake Gendarr and becomes a champion.
Killing either version of Wiley counts towards The Predator III: The Hunter collection. However, spawn times are seemingly long, so it is recommended to wait in the cove for him to spawn.

Yup. After sitting on his spawn spot in the Cove for about fifteen hours, I and the six or so other people managed to find him after a patch. However, this seems to be very much a bug, and he doesn’t seem intent to respawn at all.

Without him spawned, his event chain also does not start, meaning people on this particular collection are unable to progress until a new build drops.
