Guild Wars 2

Happened twice in two runs now.

Crossing the lava field for magmacyte.

After the orocyte, you need to cross the lava field. Well his dialouge “Right over there” when you have reached it still triggers, but for him to actually mine the magmacyte doesn’t work, just stands doing nothing.

Anyone else having CoF P2 issues? I couldn’t find another thread.

I had this happen to me on one of my CoF p2 runs.

After running it the speedy way, Magg wouldn’t interact with the magmacyte….. everyone ran the lava fields, still no dice.

We all waypointed to the start and tried the whole thing over again….. all he would do was hand out extinguishers.

We ended up restarting the dungeon.

Sometimes you have to stand up on the ledge against the wall above the magmacyte, make sure he doesn’t have anything aggro’d on him. Next step is to get him killed and revive him, then repeat the above. If those aren’t solving it, (and it can sometimes still seem like it’s bugged out as it’s sometimes touchy on where you stand to trigger him), then it may be something new breaking it. When it happens be sure to do a bug report from within game. They keep telling us that those are in fact read and it does provide them with additional information that the forum cannot.

Sadly, none of those things resolved the issue for me and my party.

In my situation, there were no enemies around whatsoever.

Magg had a red bubble above his head (talk to me its important marker) and was standing next to the magmacyte.

We got him killed, did the whole thing over again, and eventually gave up after trying literally everything.

He can be stubborn, like most asura >.<

Hoping that was just like a weird one off type issue and not a bigger problem.

Like the advice, but we already did all that, including wiping the entire room of enemies. Whether it is jumping on the ledge, going early or not, I couldn’t finish any runs.
Wanting to know if this is just a one-of sorta things, or all the time.

Well we’ll give this thread a bit more of a chance to be seen with another post, but it doesn’t look like people are having this happen very much so it may just be the same continuing very rare, very difficult to diagnose bugs.

You had it happen multiple times though? I’d expect more posts if it was more of a widespread thing. While it isn’t the fastest path and some people don’t like doing it, it’s still pretty easy when it goes right. Even though we generally don’t hear back on them, we have been told, even recently, that doing the /bug reports in game are still being read and it gives them a lot of information to help find and fix bugs, and unfortunately that’s all we can do until Anet is able to recreate it or find it from what we give them.

So here’s to hoping it doesn’t happen again, or it happens enough so they can find it >.<
