Guild Wars 2

Me and my team had encountered this bug yesterday on our fractal run at level 20. The bug involves the following fractal:
Molten Furnace Fractal

Upon getting through the tunnel, and fighting off the dredge on the other side, we wiped once and managed to clear them in the second coming. Further progressing thorough the steam walls onto an area which shows the hammer/whirlwind/fire room.
Instead of going around the lava, I proceeded to jump down the rock formation below, as it was a fun way to go though during the Molten Facility Dungeon.
Upon my surprise the whole party followed me down this little jumping route as it’s a fun little way to spice up the level. Once we all arrived at the room, the dredge responsible for activation started saying his usual lines. The only difference was that the Brahm and Rox weren’t there. They arrived 10-15 seconds after the dredge finished talking.
That’s where the bug comes in. Nothing happened. Nothing was activated, the room remained open and the NPC were following us, rather than activate the room.
We tried numerous attempts at going in and out of room, wiping in lava and spawning all at the same time, backtracking though the whole level. Than we found that the rocks you put on steams at the beginning were not blocking them anymore, so we put the rocks back on the steams, and still nothing happened.
The whole level was broken at that point which made any progress impossible, concluding at restarting the entire fractal set all over again.

Same thing just happened to my party, that fractal is broken.

Given how easily dungeons/events will break even when you do follow the script it is not very surprising that it would break if you don’t.

Just got this bug in my party too. One person did take the shortcut across the lava, but that’s never caused a problem before. May or may not have been a contributing factor. Can’t say for sure.

lava jumping puzzle detour not the cause, happend to my fractal as well going normal route

happened to us too. Luckily it was just 2nd fractal so no big time was lost, yet it was annoying.

Just got it with my team then after also having wiped on the group after tunnel.

I just got this problem. It’s outrageous there’s no technical system allowing for graceful recovery in this situation. I wouldn’t even mind restarting this fractal. But there’s no option other than to ragequit and feel my time was just wasted.

Happened to me as well :/

This bug is still there, just happened to me in a lvl 49 fractal

This area of the dungeon is still bugged. Event doesn’t start even when braham and rox are in room. Tried wiping twice and no luck. They just follow and dredge doesnt say lines.
