Guild Wars 2

“Forging the Pact” appears to be bugged still. A friend & I have attempt the quest together three times with the following results:

1. I began and friend was kicked to Timberline during the final battle. I got credit; he did not.
2. Friend began and was DC’d. Within 30s, I was kicked (since primary was no longer in the instance) and 30s later, he reappeared from the DC.
3. Friend began and we got as far as “find the southern exit,” which never triggered to the next phase. Traehearne was with us, as were all but two of the NPCs (who hadn’t moved from their last defensive position).

A few additional notes.

• For (2), I’m not sure if it’s intended that people aren’t allowed to continue their p-story if they DC. In GW1, if this happened, you had 15 minutes to reconnect without being sent back to an outpost.
• For (3), Traehearne died during the first phase, but I don’t remember reviving him during “find the southern exit.” In any case, ANet reported that this was fixed during the 3 October patch.

We’ll keep trying.

It is still not completing for me as well. I’ve just tried it again, and again I got to the very end but half of the NPCs are stuck. Trehearne, and 3 others followed, but the rest including Agent Zrii, and Crusader Afanen will not move.

What do I do now? Do I keep trying and hope the right NPCs don’t get stuck? Or do I wait to try again after another fix? These questions are directed at Anet. Please respond and let me know what I need to do in order to complete my story line.

ANet cannot respond to every post, so they might/might not give us some info here. My group is going to try again. It worked fine for me the first time, except that my friend got kicked.

I think we’ll try to keep Treahearne alive, just in case that’s the issue. For example, I’ll suggest that my friend stay further back and let me take more of the aggro. We can also try varying our skills/weapons to be better at keeping NPCs alive.

One of the difficulties is that this is a longer quest than some of the others and it’s hard to know where the issue is. We can’t just get halfway through and decide to restart because there might be an issue with completion.

If we don’t succeed on the next attempt or two, I think I’m going to suggest we just wait for ANet to take another look. It’s a key quest, so I’m guessing if it’s happening to more than just us, they’ll do something sooner rather than later.

Thought this had been fixed, have just done it twice and the researchers spread out all over the place and so it doesn’t complete.

No one is dead and area is cleared.

Pain in the butt.

This was addressed in the 7 October patch. If you are still having trouble with it since the patch, make sure to file a /bug report in-game, so that the QA team gets the time/date/world data.

So is the quest no longer bugged for anyone after the October 7th patch? Haven’t seen anyone posting that it is/isn’t working.

Hi guys. I’ve tried this quest three times now. The first time, the second reseach group didn’t follow me. The second time, this bug appears to be fixed and I move along right up to the battle with the Champion Wraith. I manage to live, surprisingly, and slowly but surely kill it, but then as soon as I start to bring its health down, my computer crashes. Before I attempted this again I made sure my graphics card drivers are updated and that it’s not dusty/overheated, but this has happened twice now. Do you think perhaps the problem is not with my computer? Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can complete this? Much appreciated!
