Guild Wars 2

My party and I were just running the Molten Facility and ran into a bug at the large door that opens before the final boss fight, after the steam vents. On the map there is a large red arrow to follow and the text reads something like, “Help the prisoners escape the facility.” We tried waypointing back, wiping, getting Braham and Rox killed, etc., but nothing opened the door. We had to abandon the run.

The only thing different on this run than my previous runs yesterday was that I was running behind the group mining the second ori node so I didn’t see myself if the steam vents were ever on. A party member said he turned them off, but another party member said he didn’t remember seeing them turned on. We’ve all run it several times now so it’s easy to get instances mixed up, so I can’t say.

Thanks!

Same problem.. on the run now hoping for a solution before we quit.

This just happened to us as well. Has anyone managed to solve this?

Known about this for two days and not even an acknowledgement. Really nice wasting almost an hours time running the kittening dungeon to get turned away at the end.

This just happened to my group a second time.

The only thing I can think of that happened both times is someone left the instance and came back. It was NOT the instance holder because I opened it this time and I did not leave.

EDIT: A guildie of mine had this same problem once before when a member of his party disconnected. This, along with the latest update’s patch note that said a bug halting progress when the instance holder left and re-entered was fixed, suggests that if anyone leaves the instance it bugs at this spot right before the boss doors.

EDIT 2: I’ve since done two more runs and in both someone was disconnected but the boss doors opened as usual. Puts a dent in my theory that if anyone leaves the instance it bugs. The only other thing I can think of is that the two times it happened I believe we were all on the same server (Crystal Desert), whereas the other runs with DCs were PUGs from varied servers.

my group also /sad. what about a fix. no one left the group. we did go back to repair.
