Guild Wars 2

Anyone attempting to complete the Cursed Shore map within the last few days is sure to be awfully familiar with this issue. Put simply, there is no way to get rid of the damaging, bleed-inflicting brambles that surround the Statues of Melandru. These effects remain despite both the Temple and Statue itself being Uncontested. This renders communing with the Skill Point located by one of the statues impossible, along of course with completing the map.

I took a look around and found that forum posts from months ago exist on this topic, so I’m surprised the issue has existed for days now. Here’s hoping it doesn’t take much longer to fix.

What was the state of the Grenth temple?

I’ve seen both Grenth and Melandru temples clear with Melandru statues (regardless of location) still active for some time now.

Unless Arah is somehow being factored in (it shouldn’t as it’s not a temple) or somehow temple status from other maps is still being accounted for, it’s bugged. If the latter, it’s still bugged, because it’s not supposed to anymore.

Just checked, the Melandru statue is still bugged. Both Grenth and Melandru are uncontested currently, but the brambles continue spawning when you approach the skill point.

Finding this to be the case right now myself. Both Grenth and Verdance are uncontested, and yet the brambles kick my kitten. Grrr, it’s the last thing I have to get on PvE MC…

Went back today, Grenth and Verdance were again uncontested, and this time it worked.
