Guild Wars 2

I was doing my world boss tour today as per usual and we got the Megadestroyer in mount Maelstrom.
The pre events proceeded as normal until we got to the stabilisation event just before the Megadestroyer itself spawns.
However the progress for the stabilisation didn’t increase, and stayed at 0%.

We waited about 5 minutes, and even let an NPC (Tyaj) die then ressed her, but it didn’t reset it and it stayed stuck at 0%.
Eventually we just left to go patch.
(Note this was before the patch today (28/07/2017) about 20 mins after reset.)

World bosses bug out often, so it would be nice if this got some love now and then :-)

Also note the above patch was for the MegaDestroyer 30mins after reset.

The one as I post this (3hours 30mins after reset) was at 0% for a long time (Several minutes) before it started to fill, and I am pretty sure it’s the same bug causing that’s causing the stabilisation to stall initially.

So, from what it seems this seems to happen every time the Megadestroyer starts.
The cause is that the three stabilisation beams do not start and connect above the volcano.
As far as I have seen Tyaj’s beam seems to start fine, but Brij and Liann’s beams do not.
The ‘fix’ for this is letting the NPCs whose beam is not started die. Then after they res their beam will start again.

Getting Liann to die is tricky but possible, whereas getting Brij to die amidst the mass of afk players is extremely hard, and often results in failure of the event (either because she doesn’t die at all, or there isn’t enough time left by the time she does)

EDIT:Spelling

has occured to me each time I have tried this boss today (30/7/17). Anooying as it is required for the hope III collection.

After 10 days, the event continues with a bug.

and it just failed because of the bug.

All three stabs were affected. One after the other.

Necros with their minion armies preventing the npcs from dying did not help

Anet, either fix this NOW or ban necros and their minion armies from this game.

What do they do? Camp around bitterfrost or fail events. They are of no use either way.
