Guild Wars 2

It never starts in the Iron marches. People can bypass the event for personal story but it blocks progress for the Mordrem Problems achievement.

Living story season 2 has been really buggy.

I’m at 4/5 on “mordrem problems” too.

If we had a way of tracking progress in achievements, I could know which one it’s missing, but until then, I have to assume it’s the bugged out collection event.

Same here. 4/5. Event never starts

•Plan of Attack instance will give you 1 Pile of Phantasmal Residue on completion never got this and I am finished with it figure that one out ANET really get with the fixing and get it right

I saw there was a new build last night, but this event is still not spawning. I was able to get past this for the Living Story requirement yesterday, but I just wanted to bring attention to this still being broken.

Yep still bugged, can’t find any world copy where it’s still active
last thing I need.

The build from yesterday was probably this: “Fixed a server crash.”

well going to log in and see if I have it I am getting ready to do it on a different character and see!

4/5. any updates?

nope, I’ve done this episode on 8 toons and the darn event still never happened.

•Plan of Attack instance will give you 1 Pile of Phantasmal Residue on completion. Get the picture fix it~

should we replay the episode? and Thank you Paul!!

well no it did not fix it and I just replayed the whole thing

It is fixed for me.
Just finished the event.

Hey guys, with the last hotfix this event should be fixed. Please let me know if there are still issues.

There are still some issues with world vs world, maybe you can take a look there and see if you can hotfix it too.

Not working, nothing is spawning. I guess the hotfix only fix it temporary.

This event is still bugged, it will occasionally spawn enemies over halfway through and make it so that completion is impossible. I submitted a bug in-game and screenshot. Please re-open this ticket

You have to get really lucky to complete this event now. It always seems to spawn several thrashers at once, then nothing for roughly 2 minutes after they are defeated, then a couple of enemies again etc.

Still bugged. The Mordrem just don’t respawn often enough. Seems they only spawn once when the event timer is almost gone! And the other time they don’t even spawn at all for the entire event.

So there is no chance of completing the event (or the achievement).

I was waiting there from 8mins left with no mobs at all and suddenly with 30s left on the timer 2 Mordrem showed up; allowing me to get just one sample before the event failed.

Next time I waited the entire duration, but not a single mob spawned. And after the event failed, the next event never started up again.

It is still bugged!!!!!!

Yeah, this event still has a tendency to bug out. Sometimes the mobs will spawn, sometimes they will not. You just have to wait and hope you get lucky.

While it won’t fix anything long term, you can try guesting to another server that is known to work. Ask around

When you say “guesting” you mean trying to get a ferry to a server that is working, right?

Guesting to another Server for an open world event would do nothing…..

Still bugged today. Sometimes not enough enemies spawn, and completion is impossible, other times no enemies spawn at all. Seems like scaling is way off on this event. At least the event spawns now.

Still no spawn…waited for three event cycles and nothing

Over a week later and it’s still bugged….nothing spawns

Bump. Still bugged.

No spawns, nothing interactable (aside from the unreachable chambers).

I noticed since the last patch without notes, a few days ago, that the event now has a timer. Still, nothing happens when the event starts up again.

For me, the thrashers wouldn’t spawn unless there were enough people in the area. Two event cycles went by with only 2 or 3 of us and nothing spawned. We got about 20 people together and then they finally spawned, but we still had to hold on to our samples for another event cycle to have enough to succeed.

This event is still bugged. I have even tried guesting to other servers. I have yet to see any mobs spawn.

First, sorry for my poor english.

This event still bugged. No mordrem in the area during the countdown. So it’s impossible to get buff and interact with anything. I wait for 4 event cycles; always the same.

One possible workaround you can try is this:

Have everybody in the event area leave (that is, move OUT of the orange circle), then re-enter the event area. That sometimes gets the Mordrem to start spawning again.
