Meta event: Gates of Arah
Server: Anvil Rock
Players clear “Hold the Pact position at Shark Anchorage against Risen attack” without a problem. This leads to a triple event;
1) Collect scrap metal to help Ballistician Dexa build her siege weapon
2) Help Crusader Angaria signal reinforcements for the assault on Arah
3) Escort Scholar Didi to the signal flare site to summon her golem prototype for the assault on Arah
The Dexa and Didi events (1 & 3) complete without a problem. Angaria’s event (2) rarely finishes successfully; instead of working with the beacons to signal reinforcements, Angaria appears to summon endless waves of enemies to her location, engaging them before they even spawn in. That event almost always fails.
Even so, this leads to;
4) Help the Pact seize the steps of the Promenade of the Gods
.. which involves fighting a Champion Risen Giant, then clearing the platform of Risen. The Giant is no problem and dies easily, often with six minutes or more to spare. The problem is… there are no Risen left on the platform to clear; accordingly, that sub-event cannot be finished, thus the event fails and the meta breaks. I’ve had groups stand there for a full six minutes with zero risen inside the event circle on the map. Once bugged, there’s no way to advance the meta, thus no way to open Arah.
I’ve reported this a few times via the in-game tool as a “blocking progress” bug. A quick search of the forum turned up other Arah bugs, but not this.
Are any other servers experiencing this oddness? Or is Anvil Rock just a lucky place to be?
