Guild Wars 2

This mission is still a problem. I am trying to assist another player with this mission for three weeks with about 60 tries and nothing seems to work:

Gate of Madness server

Tried all of the below on two computers she owns: HP Windows 7 computer, MAC Lion 10 computer.

Tried the all of the below in a group and alone.

Have tried making sure every enemy inside the red area outside the first door is dead and make sure any friendly NPCs outside the first door come with (rezzed, etc.).

Inside the door tried talking to servants fast before Kitah leaves, tried the second door before Kitah leaves. Tried waiting until Kitah leaves and THEN tried the door first, then the servants… and vice versa.

Have made sure to try everything fast, then tried to give plenty of time in between actions.

Tried talking to each servant first before the rest, and tried talking to various numbers of servants before the door… or after the door.

Then, tried the suggestions on the forums: tried in front of the door jumping, moving, spamming “use” key… tried on top of the door… tried on opposite side of door with rest of party on proper door side… tried various movements… tried doing this on 1st door (one to outside) and 2nd door at same time… different times.

Heck, I have actually spend 5-6 hours on the phone with my friend helping her with EVERY suggestion possible.

I would like to say: I have done it twice, successfully, with characters myself (last time was February?). I dunno: after at least 6 hours of game play trying to help her get past this…

FRUSTRATED

Why? Because every storyline, from every race and pact faction, gets funnelled into this one mission: there is no option to do the research and pick another mission to do. This would be like doing Arah Story Mode and after defeating Zhaitan the game won’t let you get the achievement, won’t let you get your final movie and won’t let you get your tokens…

Just frustrated, if you didn’t notice…

Back again…

We have tried this mission another 10 times and found one and only one difference. Three of these tries were done this time by me logging into the other player’s account to try it, fully authorized to do so by the other person (in writing if you want it Anet/NCSoft). I got it to work from their account on my computer those three times, but did not finish it as I did not want to do this for anything other than finding an answer to the issue (relentless, stupid curiosity is the only thing keeping me on this): I did not want to seriously break any EULA section/point/issues by looking like I was playing the game for someone else… in other words, they haven’t passed the storyline mission yet!!!!!!

The difference is in the order of the sex of the servants, counter-clock-wise rotation from the door (the door to the Leap – door #1) to the door leading further into the Manse (door #2) from my log in to hers:

Her order seven times:
Door #1 -> counter clock wise -> Door #2
Female, Female, Male, Female, Male -> four times
Female, Male, Female, Female, Male -> three times

My order three times:
Door #1 -> counter clock wise -> Door #2
Female, Female, Male, Male, Female -> twice (worked flawless)
Female, Male, Female, Male, Female -> once (worked, but was forced)

So, it seems that in this situation if the last two in counter-clock-wise servant sex is a Male to the right of Door #2 then Female just to the left of door #2 it can me made to happen; if it is Female and then Male just to the left of door #2 it can’t be forced to happen.

A picture of a try that did NOT work, for clarity, is attached.

The only other option is something saved on my computer, something inside the GW2 files I have, that is different from hers… for that I would have no clue.

Up to you developers to figure it out now!!!!

If not, my friend will never pass this mission.

I’m stuck on this mission as well. I’m supposed to defend outside, nothing is happening.

Edit; worked when I restarted it…
