Guild Wars 2

Had issues with NPCs in paths 1 and 2 today in the Ascalonian Catacombs Explorable section. Looked through topics, but didn’t see it reported.

Path 1:
Hodgins glitched when it came time to collect pieces of the fire staff. The sequence that gives us access to the room where we’re supposed to collect the pieces would not activate. We even tried killing him with a mob to try to reset, but no dice. Had to leave the dungeon to let it reset and had to start over.

Path 2:
When it came time to build the mortars, the Ascalonian ghost threatened us, disappeared, but the NPC did not start working on the mortars and did not trigger the spawning of aggressive ghosts. Part of the problem might have been that a champion graveling followed us in, and we spent some time after the Ascalonian ghost threatened us fighting the champ. After that, NPC just stood between the mortars and would not start working on them. A party member managed to pull a champ graveling that killed her. When she was revived, thankfully she reset and the quest chain progressed, so we were able to finish the dungeon.

Had the exact same experience with as you in Path 1 about 30 mins ago.

The path 1 glitch seems like a pretty common problem from what I’ve heard from the groups that I’ve ran AC with. I was surprised not to find a topic posted on the forums about it already.
