Guild Wars 2

On the Crystal Desert server this DE has stopped functioning since the March 11 patch. The DE is never active. But the NPCs are standing by the gate waiting to receive the eggs from players. But the ‘lures’ are not available to activate and the nests are not available to open/attack because the DE is not active. So nothing can be brought to the NPCs.

Normally when the DE is not active, the NPCs are engaged in banter further from the gate to the cave. At that spot the primary NPC is a Vendor when the DE is not active.

I had sent an ingame Bug Report several days ago. But since no fix was done in the post reporting patches, I thought I’d post it here.

Same on IOJ. I’ve even guested to a few other servers but Drottot Lashtail is stuck near the right-hand wall as you’re entering the devourer pit, and the event chain never begins.

This is still not functioning. There has been 1 Major update and several ‘Patches’ or ‘Bug’ fixes and yet this issue has not been resolved. Just pumping this back up in case it got lost in the fog.

This is still not functioning. There has been another Major update and 2 ‘Patches’ or ‘Bug’ fixes since the April 15 update and this issue has not been resolved.

Am I alone in caring? This DE & the rest of the chain are quite useful for getting Dailies out of the way quickly. As a casual player I’d like to get on with basic PvE exploration and general fun game play. A quick end to the daily is a bonus.

This also isn’t working on Piken Square.

Unfortunately fixing events seems to be very low on the priority list.
For example …
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Save_the_merchants_from_the_Bloody_Buccaneer_kidnappers has been broken since release or maybe slightly after
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Protect_krewe_leader_Dobbs_as_the_krewe_clears_the_excavation_site broken at least a year, the heart it is associated with is also a bit broken as well

Thank you A-net. You have resolved this minor issue. I participated in the DE & the follow-up as well. Good job.

Back again Since the July 1st update, the DE has been malfunctioning again. This time the NPCs stand at their normal positions and engage in their usual banter. You can trade with the main NPC, but they never move into position to start the DE. I’ve left a character their for a bit, while I attended to out of game things, just to see if I’d had bad timing on it. I thought I saw it run 1 time post update, but I could be wrong. If so, has the DE been put on a 2 hour timer? Rather then the old 10-12 minute one?

Hmm…it was stalled on my server for a while, but after the fix (I guess July 1st), it’s been running all the time for me.

Maybe try guesting?
