Guild Wars 2

I really don’t understand why it’s so hard for them to give a simple “Yes, it’s being worked on” or “we are aware of the issue, but are focusing on other things.” It’s coming up on three weeks now that this issue hasn’t been fixed or even talked about for most of the precursors. It’s borderline trolling and simply unprofessional for expansion content that people paid for to not be working almost 3 weeks after release.

I’m not going to lie, I feel pretty ripped off about this quest line. I spent more money on materials to craft it, than it would cost to outright buy the precursor. Now I’m sitting here waiting for bugs to be fixed, when I could have had the legendary done by now, and for cheaper. It really killed the excitement.

It is Legendary journey, so you have to wait legendary long xd.

Industrial Espionage its literally solving the jumping puzzle and in the end near the chest is the item you need. It is complicated and needs some work to insert the right coordinates but its perfectly doable. (I feel that its unfair to complain about this one, just google for a Jumping Puzzle guide guys…)

I don’t know what you mean with near the chest. I completed the puzzle. Yes i used the wiki document. And i’m on the Test Platform 325 with the chest.

Near the chest, there is a Data Recorder and some kind of nameless console.
Interacting with Data Recorder, gets you Entry 555, then some text, Continue, Continue, Leave

The console gives you:
Decrypt Research Data? Yes / Leave

The chest itself gives loot.

Nothing i described above gives the Industrial Espionage item and there’s nothing else you can interact with.

I apologize, I thought it was a puzzle completion problem. Well in that case must be a server bug like the fireheart rise one because it doesn’t happen to everyone. I would try a different overflow… To make sure u are in a different one look for the ip commands and mapinfo comand. Thats the only solution I can think of….

How hard would it be for anet to reboot the reported servers….

just a suggestion for Anet, at least please get the wiki info for the precursor completed so I can at least prepare all of the material for what is going to be needed in order for the precursor to be crafted rather than now the quest can’t be finished because of the bug that make the process to stuck at tier 1 2 or 3 then I have no idea what the material is needed that makes me just collecting gold and buying the material on the TP in the end

I remember it well, wiki the answer to all your questions. Anet used the wiki actively as well, bugs were handled and answered, news was written there.
BUT that was Guild Wars 1.

Now for an Anet answer, you have to go to Reddit, for guides you go to Dulfy, for news you have to watch twitch. For the lowdown and lore i check WP’s youtube channel.
I think the wiki was always maintained by the users, so i don’t think (especially now) they (Anet) will update the wiki.

As for Professor Portmatt’s reward not triggering. I now have 3 characters at the chest and i’ll check daily to see if the message changes from Decrypt Research Data to the one i need and open the chest.

In the mean time, I will sit and wait to complete the legendary (I got all other stuff done, just need the precursor that I could have bought twice on the tp with the amount of cash that went into this collection business.

I have to say, it was fun to go back to those long forgotten quests, events, JP’s.

Sorry to go on on this, but I don’t think this is server specific.
I got both accounts on the same server, standing next to eachother. The resulting text is different between the 2 accounts. Tho ofcourse, if the text doesn’t matter and you still get the reward. Then it is.
Does anyone recall the text they saw when they DID get the reward?
The left one seems to me the one you need, while i get the second one on the account that i need the reward on.

EDIT: I noticed that the portraits for both accounts are different. One account (the first) is downscaled for the zone, the other one isn’t. That made me realize that ofcourse the 2nd account does NOT have HoT. Maybe that is why the wording is different as well. Oh well. I hope we hear something on all of this. I’m out of options to try.

EDIT2: Probably the wording doesn’t matter after all, the wording could just be a HoT change. So. I will keep trying now to see if i have the same result on different servers. Fortunately it has triple trouble, so more luck on getting on different servers.

EDIT3:
Well tried, these and they didn’t give a different result.
206.127.159.214
206.127.146.85
206.127.146.31
206.127.159.197

The different wording DOES make a difference in teleporting someone up. With the ‘newer’ wording, you can’t transmit the coordinates. There is nothing to receive on the other side. While using the pre-HoT accounts, you can transmit the coordinates and receive them still.

Thanks for all the investigation, Swift.

1. With regards to Portmatt’s jumping puzzle I also get no token from either the chest or the console (which displays “Decrypt Data”).
2. Also still stuck on Quaggan Freedom, but from the feedback here it seems that event no longer exists.
3. I’m also stuck on the Fireheart Rise event with the Grawl vs Charr. I’ve logged in at various times through the last few days and our NPCs always own the location (No Champion).

Does anyone know of a way to swap map instances to maybe cycle through possible outcomes of this event?

Have the same problem with Kudzu III

When i get HoT, first thing i want to do was craft dusk. so after making 93% collection i found that dusk is bugged…
So i choose to make Leaf of Kudzu, coz i had gold only to craft one. after spending about 600g i found that kudzu is also bugged at tier3. Again, i have 96% collection, almost no gold, no precursor…. i’m sooo disappointed. This whole precursor crafting just don’t work properly. I hope anet will fix it soon (it should be done ~10 days ago…). At this point, i do not want to play until this thing will be fixed. As someone above said – all update excitement is gone.

It’s already Tuesday and still no patch…

This is such a slow speed on fixing critical bugs..

I agree Aomine, it’s hard to believe it has been this long without a fix let alone a response. Very disappointing to say the least. I went from being excited about the whole process to just wishing I would’ve outright bought my precursor from the TP. Lesson learned for future legendary endeavors.

SableHaze.3870:

Lesson learned for future legendary endeavors.

More like lesson learned for ever giving Anet money again. Precursor crafting was the primary reason I bought heart of thorns. If I’d paid the $50 and converted it to gold, I’d have my choice of precursors a long time ago.

Bump!

Still waiting on a fix for Bolt III: Zap as well as other players with their respective precursor crafting bugs.

5 days past since last bug fix and nothing.

Yet they have the leisure to keep adding gem store items?

Do they think these bugs are not serious enough, that can be put on hold for another month?

I know what you mean. I can’t help but feel like the precursor crafting bugs are on the back burner until after the 17th. Disheartening that all this new content and gem store goodies are being added without fixing what should already be working properly. Just hoping we won’t have to wait much longer.

When I got to Bolt tier 3 completion @ 93%
And I found out I couldn’t finish the collection, at 1st I was like, well, the xpack just launched.
I’m sure they will get to these bugs in time.

A few days later, I was still positively hoping and believing they would eventually get to them, in the mean time they would reassure us by acknowledging the bugs and telling us they will get to them as soon as they can.

Now, 2 weeks after, I’m just furious and feeling RIPPED OFF
I’m 1000g into the collection, cannot finish it, the devs don’t even acknowledge the fact there are bugs.

This is expansion content, yet NOTHING has been done to remedy the situation.

It feels like a deliberate attempt to boycott us all, think about it almost every single precursor collection is bugged and cannot be completed.

It’s like they sat down and said to themselves, well, we gotta release this but we gonna make it so no one can complete them, this way we can actively monitor how long it takes for them to get to the bugged, blocked off part of the collection and than we will know if we made it right or too easy.

I’m still stuck in Bolt I but I don´t think I will even bother to finish it, even when they finally patch it. Just by selling the Deldrimor Steel you need for Tier II i can buy a nice little pre in the TP, saving me the rest of the materials. Really sucks for everyone stuck in T3.
Really annoying they give something THAT time and resource consuming such a low priority when it comes to making it actually work…

Well seeing as they intentionally disabled Glacial Imbued Jar which is a collection item for Frostfang as you can see here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Glacial-Imbued-Jar-Disabled-Temporarily

They are certainly doing something weird. I’d like to think they aren’t just using us as beta testers, but seeing as we have received no response about T3 bugged collections I’d assume it is intentional.

They will most likely be coming out with a large update this week seeing as they haven’t had a substantial update for about a week so hopefully we will see a fix then. (Crosses fingers for today)

For me everything worked. LoL
Only hawke is bugged.

I just hope their idea of fixing it is not:

- We’ve added a fourth Tier to all collections in order to get them working properly.

We go in and find out Tier 4 is all about more kitten deldrimor steel !!!

In this case, YOU are the exception, as in, the minority that had minor issues with it.
We, are the norm, as in, a lot of us have progress blocking bugs, preventing us from completing the collections after investing excessive amounts of gold into them.

This should’ve been a priority for two reasons:

1 – it is expansion content, and for many people, this feature was a consideration when buying the xpack.

2 – it is a progress blocking issue, after investing heavily into it.

Bumping this so people can see it and add their own issues to the thread, since there are so many.

Kudzu III heirloom seed pouch bug is causing me to not want to play the game right now until it gets fixed. :/

Still waiting on Bolt T3 – Anet is being very silent lately, I think major patches have slowed way down, maybe people put in for vacations for last 2 weeks?

Got a response from a ticket. “Dev Team is aware of issues and they are working on a fix but cannot give a time frame.” Pretty much what you would expect to hear. Hopefully they will get it knocked out soon. Sucks having everything but the precursor ready for Bolt and not being able to do anything about it.

at least you got a response, that alone is progress.

So… are we looking at Tuesday then?

Bolt 3 still bugged

Tbh, i really hate pre crafting, its buggy and annoying to sit around waiting for events to spawn and the cost is ridiculous. It’s really not worth the effort to do it. This will be my first and only pre that im crafting.

Cheifcaptian Moroni.1629:

So… are we looking at Tuesday then?

I sure hope not…

Bashing Bauxite Alchemicals event inside Jinx isle is bugged , making it impossible to compelte Twilight I crafting. The agents just wait outside the door, saying that we need to destroy the defensive cannons even though all of the cannons are destroyed. We cant open the door, and thefore cant finish the event. Anet PLS fix this asap because this event has been bugged for a few days (for all I know , it might have been bugged for a longer time).

Bashing Bauxite Alchemicals still bugged out. I would appreciate a response to this issue. I know from playing since the start it has been very buggy, but it is impossible to finish events for the legendary crafting.

While you are at it, give me storm.
Still bugged with Industrial Espionage (Professor Portmatt) and the non-existing event we need for Quaggan Freedom (Rescue quaggan at Moogooloo)

I went ahead and bought Storm. Even though I invested a ton of money in the quest.

28/30 on Zap … and now we wait.

So has anyone actually finished a collection?

Sakara Prime.5370:

With the exception of one bump in the road, Carcharias is able to be completed. Said “bump” is that for one of the collection items in Bloodtide Coast (Wreck of the Argent Warrior) you need to do it with a character that does not have the heart complete just to the west of the wreck.

Chrisco.5732:

28/30 on Zap … and now we wait.

Same here as everyone alse stucked at tier 3 with 28/30 coz of those 2 redicilous bugs that havent been fixed yet.

I bought hot mainly for preursor crafting and im rly dissapointed to be stucked at this phase while i have everything alse to craft bolt!! If they dont something at 17s patch i will be rly dissapointed

Bump for visibility, hoping for the best.

Judging by the lack of answers and patches… people must be giving up on posting in general…

Twilight – Experimental – could ‘learn’ the recipes on ‘Huntsman’, but Huntsman can’t make the Blade or Hilt. Can the resipes be sent back pls so I can learn them on my Weaponsmith?

Thanks

Bump for buget ZAP III – spend more then 1k gold and stuck 28/30 like lots of ppl here

Bump as i notice this compiled thread. Stuck on Frenzy Tier 3, the Quaggan Games event in Frostgorge Sound is stuck and doesn’t happen: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Quaggan-Games-bugged-Frenzy-T3-uncraftable/

I beleive you can re buy the recipe from the legendaey vendor (sorry forgot name)

Im starting to think Anet deliberately introduced collection finishing bugs because the collections or crafting isnt finished, why esle do these events all of a sudden just break. I have Dawn and kudzu collections both on the last one, Need Vinewrath blossom, done the event 7 times. As for Dawn im in Brisban wildlands for the 3rd day waiting for the EVENT TO EVEN START (Rescue Skritt in Joy’s End). after reset still nothing, Broken. May work on your DEVELOPMENT servers but not in game servers. What gives Anet? did you not test this stuff at all?

EDIT: Just Got the Tiny Vinewrath Blossom just then. Its a random drop from the large chest. I did the event 8 times to get it. My Kudzu collection is now Complete!

EDIT: After spending many many hours in Brisbane wildlands, I finally got the event to complete Dawn. The event was not showing up. This afternoon a few commanders went through the map and then the event popped. My Dawn Collection Complete!

Been waiting on pre fixes since launch. I’ve been stuck on t3 Moot collection since release date and still no fixes. I think I sank maybe 4x the cost of the precursor into it already as well. (Energizer cost 250g day of release, I remember checking. Spent a little over 1000g so far getting materials and counting lost farm time). If we are hoping for Tuesday, I won’t be getting my hopes up. At least Fallout4 is here to dry my tears

It’s hard to believe it has been almost 3 weeks since this subject has even been acknowledged by the devs. on the forums. 3 weeks! This was a selling point for HoT and just them lacking to acknowledge the subject and a possible fix and time frame on the fix is extremely frustrating. I can’t help but feel disappointed with Anet on how this is being handled. Just take 5 minutes, pop in and give us some kind of an update. Really hope it gets ironed out with the upcoming patch.

Is it me or does it seem like people are over exaggerating on how much gold they are spending on the Precursor Collection?

Incinerator 3: spark still bugged. Cant use the cryo dust and the scalding fumes in the molten boss fractal… between this and the map completion bug I’m getting really frustrated that everything i want to work on is bugged.
