Guild Wars 2

Here to report a bug in the Molten Furnace Fractal.

Upon reaching the Weapon Test chamber, the event did not start.
The NPC spoke his dialogue but did not go hostile. The doors never closed. Rox, Braham and Frostbite froze on the spot. Nothing progressed or changed.

Attempting to reset the area by purposefully dying and resetting the NPC’s did not work either.

Please fix. Thanks for your time.

This is a known bug that happens if you run past Braham & Rox too quickly. As long as one person stops to ‘hear’ their dialogue at the top of the bluff (just after the steam curtain), everything goes smoothly.

Thanks for the heads up!

Come to think of it, we were doing level 45, where the instability causes Chill fields to appear. Which is probably the reason the NPC’s lagged behind even further than usual. Good to know though. Will leave this here, just in case Arena Net has time to fix it.
