Guild Wars 2

It appears as though this story instance is bugged. After reporting to Steelbane and being sent to the arena to fight the gladiators – the instance does not progress.

Killing the four initial gladiators does not trigger the next wave.

yea its happening to me as well, we shall wait for a hotfix

Same problem here.

yeah its happening to me as well

Same thing happening here.

This saddens me

ikr the character it happened to me on was my freaking revenant

Time for a promotion bugged, help me pls

A warrior in map chat just said that he completed the mission. So I guess this happens only to revenants? Can you guys confirm?

yea just tried again on my Rev and still broken

same here, progress stuck

Yeah I have that same problem, I’ve tried 6 different times with no success.

My character is a warrior and I am stuck on this mission as well, so not only happening to revenants.

Everything plays out fine until you down the first group (I"m guessing there are suppose to be waves here.) and then nothing happens. They just lay there on the ground and me stuck in the instance.
I’ve tried running around to see if that will trigger anything. So far nothing.

Broken for me too.

Same for me on my Revenant.

Hi,
I cannot complete first part of story mode as blood legion. I stuck in gladiator arena. When fight begins 5 doors open but only 4 gladiators go against me. When I beat them nothing happens. I tried it several times. Am I doing something wrong?

Also when I hit level 13 I should get 5 hero points but It looks like I didn’t get them. I’ve had 6 hero points on level 13 and I am pretty sure I’ve got another 5 hero point for level up before.

Check this please.
Apologies for my english.

While this is being looked into, it seems I was able to finish it for my character.
All I did was this. I started the fight and let them come to me to kill me. Before I died though, I killed one of them. After that I picked to spawn back from check point.
Switched to my ranged attacks with a gun I had. When the rest of the gladiators came after me, I pretty much kited them around until they dropped.
After the last gladiator of the first wave died, this time it triggered the 2nd wave and so on. Until I finished it.
I never went back to melee. So I’m not sure if I just happened to get lucky, or if melee has something to do with it, or if dying some how make it work, but this is all I did and I was able to finish it.

So I hope this helps others until Anet can find what is causing this problem out.

same problem with me, I beat 4 gladiators and then nothing..

It has had this problem since the expansion went live. I can’t continue on at all .

I had the same problem, I kind of followed the advice above about kiting them just for lols. The Bane Gladiator with the mace and shield randomly stopped attacking and went out of combat and wandered to the side of the arena. I killed the other 2 that were left alive, then killed that one, and it continued perfectly fine. It could have been a random coincidence or there could be a connection to the problem somehow.

Can confirm this worked for me. Just kept running until the gladiator stopped and i was far enough not to continue aggro and killed the ones still following then the gladiator.

i tried the potential workaround of kiting them until one stops dead in their tracks as a revenant i killed the rest of the group first then ran back and killed the one who stopped and no luck, still wont continue. i would assume that the ones it has worked for were either a coincidence or it could have something to do with a happy crap storm of common events or circumstances that the ones it doesnt work for(or vice versa) happen to have encountered.
in the mean time im sad to say that since there is no eta on a fix it is fair well to my charr revenant and hello to some other race.

play a sonnet for the poor charr still affected

the trick mentioned earlier for me on my Revanent character, take out one or two of the gladiators, allow them to down you, die and restart from checkpoint. It’s a work around until they can fix it with a patch. This was with a Charr Revanent.

meh im making a norn… its almost as good as a charr
