Guild Wars 2

For the collection Ad Infinitum III, the Mist Geyser that is needed to be interacted with for part of the collection (Magically Charged Infusion Sample) is nowhere to be found in the fractal.

While we covered it in this thread Challenge Mote in Snowblind fractal 21-50 I guess you fellows at ANet forgot to read past the first post or thread title.

With the change to the Snowblind Fractal, many elements within the Fractal were removed or made inaccessible. The Challenge Mote was one, which has now been corrected, but the Mist Geyser Required for the Magically Charged Infusion Sample in the Ad Infinitum III: Unbound Collection is still missing from the Fractal and hasn’t been replaced.

It would have made sense to have fixed this the same time you fixed the incorrect location of the Challenge Mote (we did tell you with that thread), but as this is not the case, we are letting you know individually now. Despite the challenge mote being fixed, progression towards the Legendary Fractals Backpiece is still impossible and unacquirable in-game due to this missing element of the map.

Please take note and reintroduce it back into the map as soon as you can. Thankyou.

I tried to do this today, and was looking for it for like 30 min before I gave up, googled it and found this… Anet, you have to fix this :-S

It’s only, what, day 6 of the mist geyser being gone?

Gah. Been looking for this and run the fractal multiple times but I’ve been unable to find it. I thought it might have been my chosen difficulty level. Please fix this bug!

I’ve not seen an official acknowledgement of this issue so I doubt it will be resolved soon.

I believe a Dev on Reddit said they’re working on it.

Ad Infinitum III: Unbound
The Mist Geyser for the Magically Charged Infusion can no longer be found in the Snowblind fractal.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Magically_Charged_Infusion_Sample

I’ve done levels 5 and 86. Tried looking for the mist geyser before and after the Ice Elemental fight, tried looking for it before and after final boss fight. It is not there.

So I was working on my Tier III Unbound collection, last step I need: get a +8 infusion to the Mist Geyser in Snowblind Fractal, so I go there.
Light the bonfire, melt the wall, kill the elemental, rush north through the forest, up the mountain. I can’t find the geyser..

So I say to my party, lets go kill the boss first, I’ll look better later, there might be a cave or crevice I missed.

So we kill the boss, buddies leave, I stay behind to look for the geyser. can’t find it.. think it’s bugged/didn’t spawn. So I redo the instance with a new party, completely clean instance. Up to that point again.. still no geyser.. so I get desperate, and turn to Dulfy, she has a map of the route and location. I follow it exactly.. now geyser.

So I’m turning to devs now, is there anything ‘known’ about a non-apearing Mist geyser in the Snowblind Fractal? and if so, how long will it take for it to be fixed, because it’s a limited on my Unbound right now.

It would be nice if an anet dev said something if there’s something gamebreaking

They’re aware of this and are working on a fix. I’d expect it sooner rather than later.

It’s only been missing since the patch 9 days ago…they’re totally working on it.

Yeah, it’s good that they are working on it now, I just wish they had bothered to read the full thread on the unreachable challenge mote instead of only the first post in that thread (and judging by the dev response in that reddit thread, it seems that it was only then, with the reddit thread, that they realised they had removed the Geyser), because if they had it would have been fixed by now unhalting our progress to the backpiece, and they would have saved themselves alot of effort too.

By not being willing to spent an extra 2 minutes reading the bug report thread on the challenge mote, they’ve created alot more work for themselves. Now they’ve gotta open the map again – making sure they are open the post-challenge mote fix rather than the pre-challenge mote fix version of the map, re-add the mist geyser, rebuild the map again (for all relevant fractal scales), re-translate the map, test it again to make sure they’ve not broken any other interactive elements in the process, and compress it again within the game files, re-upload the sever-side interactivity of it, etc, etc, etc. Instead of just doing it at the same time as they fixed the challenge mote and only having to go through all that stuff once. I would say I hope it’s a lesson learned, but eh, you know…

At least they’ve acknowledged the bugs existence now and are working on it, so I’m grateful for that. So we can be assured a fix will come at some point. Just wish they’d pay more attention in the future, not just for our sake, but also for their own.

Good to know I am not the only one having this issue. Hopefully we can get a patch soon.

Ah, nice to know they are working on it.
Came here to report the same thing

i also face the same problem !!cant find the mist geyser in snowblind fractals

Ditto, they should give us the final item to unlock our achievement.

Scrolled through the dev comments page, seems no dev has yet commented (nor even acknowledged) on this. Any ETA on the fix?

*Snowblind
Fixed a bug that prevented Fractal Avengers from triggering.

instead of fixed the mist geyser in Snowblind..
Really, who decided that avengers were more important that a collection milestone preventing hundreds if not thousands of people from continuing their crafting of Unbound…

This!! I can’t progress the collection because of this single freaking bug!

I sincerely hopen they will compensate us for this, mail 75 matrices to people with the Unbound collection open

Confirmed fixed I got it this morning.

Were Im inside fractal level 27 as I type this no mist geyser

I found mine at Lvl 5

This was fixed. It just wasn’t in the patch notes.

Seriously? No mist geyser fix, despite saying it was coming in the next update? I’ve been waiting to finish Unbound for two weeks now and still nothing. Kinda disheartening. Add on top of that no raid fixes?

Must Geyser should be fixed. I failed to add a release note, that is on me.

Thank you for the headsup, ’preciate it.

Then there’s a serious complaint here though:

Not sure ‘most’ is correct, but either way from what I gather most devs don’t even want to read these forums, and rightfully so. When the majority of content in something is directly attacking you and the work you do, would you want to read it? What’s worse is when it’s misplaced aggression towards a logical change (I’ll admit I made an angry post about the agony resistance change, which is a good change, but it kittened me off because I had just geared up half a dozen characters to 150AR and now I had to redo it all… but in the end I made money and got some 140ar chars to 150ar, so it was pretty sweet).

Just got it myself – Did the fractal at level 86 and found the geyser after completing the run.
