Guild Wars 2

Crusader Yipp just stands there after we finished the escort during Triple Trouble event. He is supposed to build an energy probe at the Crimson Great Jungle Wurm site.

WHAT DO?

Here’s a bit more context and detail about what we saw:

On 6/13/2014, after the scheduled 8pm PST Triple Trouble event, which failed during the 2nd phase (decapitated heads), a guild spawned the event again at about 9:20pm PST. The escort event at Crimson (Crusader Yipp) had problems completing. It was able to get near the end of the escort, but Yipp would get stuck and refuse to move toward Crimson’s spawn location. Strangely, the UI indicated that all 3 escort quests had finished.

There were repeated attempts to pull Yipp away from mobs that were assumed to keep him leashed (including getting him killed and reviving him), but none of them worked. Some time after we gave up on this event, a player noticed that there were 3 wurm eggs that had spawned under the red phytotoxin collector (underneath the ground layer).

We suspect these eggs had spawned erroneously away from their intended spot. They were probably either part of the previous wurm event, or the Yipp escort quest. It seems likely that the escort event could not finish because these eggs were not destroyed. Attempts to damage these eggs had no effect.

The megaserver instance this occurred on had an IP address where last octet was 40.

This is still happening. ATT did a manual spawn of the world event, only to have the whole event severely stalled by Crusader Yipp at crimson jungle wurm site.

Here’s what I suspect what’s going on. Remember when Scholar Brogun at the Frozen Maw got stalled and he died after the escort to the totem completed? After we resurrected him he does nothing. This is happening to Crusader Yipp since he’s facing spawns of mobs that can potentially downed him.

Crusader Yipp needs the the fix that was already applied to Scholar Brogun and Historian Vermoth.
