Guild Wars 2

No trapped soldiers are appearing in this event.

Yes, the cocoons were empty last time I did this event (in the last 2 weeks). Please fix.

Thank you in advance. =)

This event is still bugged. No pun intended. Soldiers do not appear in cocoons.

Been broken and completely ignored by Anet for quite some time now.

same issue for me

same issue for me

Build: 53850
Error Code: 58: 11: 5: 535 the same problem here, someone has a solution?

Trying to do Flameseeker collection and this still seems to be bugged. 6/7 Seraph freed and it seems impossible to complete to trigger the Gargantula event.

The new Bandit boss spawning inside this event seems to be causing one of the soldiers not to spawn. There end up being 6 trapped soldiers to rescue & the event stalls at 6/7 rescued since there are no more.
This keeps the Gargantula chain from progressing. so yeah. the Legendary collections are borked that require Gargantula defeat.
I’m on HOPE IV myself.

It was failing before the bandit boss events.

Please fix the event, i can not finish hope without the spider queen spawn following the event

I’m having the same problem, can’t complete the Flameseeker Prophecy precursor because of this blocking issue.

Problem still exists. Can’t finish HOPE if I can’t get to Gargantula. Kinda drives me crazy. Any tips on how I can still finish the collection?

please fix this, its preventing friends from completing their legendary collection

I need it for HOPE Vol. 4 collection and its bugged all time… Please fix it..

Do it after patch drops, might be your only chance as everything will be reset, normally events only bug after they are first completed, though I’ve know this event to have been bugged for a good 6 months or so before HoT launched.

The latest is probably different from the previous in this case. In the previous times freeing the soldiers didn’t increment the counter. Right now it increments the counter but stops at 6. I suspect someone accidentally deleted one of the cocoons when they added the bandit spawn.

I saw the event stalled at 6/7 before the Current Events, although I never noticed that immediately after a game update. I also don’t remember people complaining that it was bugged in all the instances they tried.

My guess: they fixed one problem and either added another or it turned out that there already was another issue that used to hardly ever come up. It’s only coincidentally connected to the bandit spawn (although, that’s a pretty good suspect, too, since it takes place nearby).

Still, it hardly matters why there’s a bug. Those going after their legendaries just want these things fixed.

Please fix anet, this is stopping us from getting H.O.P.E after sinking god knows how much gold into the precursor.

If it helps any, ip 64.25.38.240:0 seems to be unbugged for this event. Gargantua has popped twice in the last 30 minutes or so here.

Someone posted on another thread (too lazy to find it, sorry) that it’s likely due to the bandit bounty, Ezal the Quick. He spawns right next to one of the trapped soldiers and may be killing or otherwise hampering that one NPC.

Thanks, Meow — I’ll point people to that IP.

(PS the event also bugged out before Ezal was in the game, even if the bandit event seems to have increased the number of instances in which this occurs)

This is most likely what’s happening. I was steps away from the one close to Ezal. Then I saw him surrounded by spiders while I was breaking a different one open. Then the cross swords disappeared shortly after that.
