Guild Wars 2

Sanctum of Rall
Seems to still bugged after the patch. Left my toon next to Mad Mardine for hours and kept checking, no event occured.

Now working as intended after the mini patch

Having the same issue in Darkhaven. Its kind of annoying since that’s the last thing I need to complete the map and I have to rely entirely on a bugged event to get to the vista.

Cattlepult is broke again on Aspenwood server, nobody can complete the map. Been broke a couple days now, I think since the new update came out. Thanx

Jeffrey Vaughn.1793:

Just to clarify… The bug now is that the event won’t run, correct? The bug I fixed for the 1-28 update was to prevent the event from stalling while it was running. I just want to make sure this is a seperate issue so I can make sure I find the problem.

Well it’s both the event as well as the npc’s being stuck, let me explain…

Mad Mardine says that he has sent his assistant to Dawnright to get more cows, however his assistant is just walking around the cattlepult in a circle not getting cows, when speaking to the assistant he complains about shooting the cows at the harpies, however the harpy event isn’t starting and the npc’s are not speaking to each other, if that makes sense.

I hope that answers the question, I’ll monitor this page more closely for a quicker reply to any other questions.

Cattlepult is still bugged currently on Henge of Dervani. I cannot talk to Mad Mardine and when i talk to tigh snatchskull he says he cant talk he has to go get cattle.

Server: Fort Aspenwood
Area: Diessa Plateau

There’s no way to run the event or get the catapult/NPCs into a state where it’s possible to use it. It’s the last thing I need for the area and it’s been bugged for about two days.

Please fix

Henge of Denravi is still bugged for this vista.

Just experienced the same thing this morning on Henge of Denravi.

Just checked today, Kaineng is also bugged

Aurora Glade as well.

Moorwatch Tower is still bugged just checked. the assistant is just walking around in a circle.

nothing to add here other than, its still bugged.

bugged on Fort Aspenwood too. the guy walks around in circles. I heard them talk and fire the cannon one time. but still no access to the vista.

on a side note, I detest this vista, I have no problems doing jump puzzles, but I think it’s dumb there is a mandatory wait time of any sort on some thing required for map completion. idk how long the wait is. but it sucks having to completely stop what you’re doing just to wait for the cannon to be available.

Still bugged in Aurora Glade. The event just does not happen. I wait around for hours… and nothing.

Miyuko Coldblade.4690:

Same problem on Fort Aspenwood. It hasn’t been triggering for over a day now.

This..

Still bugged on aspenwood, not much fun at all

There are now cows being launched out of the cattlepult and the guy standing beside the cattlepult just says his assistant will bring some before the cattlepult can be used, but the assistant is just walking circles around the cattlepult.

Please fix this soon….its the last thing i have on this map for 100%….

there is already another thread on this issue that consists of multiple merged threads, and the game designers have already responded about the issue, yet another new thread on this issue is not necessary.

This is the “official” response on the issue

Jason King.2647:

Thank you for the updates; we’re taking another look at the events that make the Cattlepult accessible and what might be breaking them.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Moorwatch-Tower-Vista-Bug-Merged/page/8

A solution to this problem is to use the new “guesting” feature to complete the vista.

It was reported in Fort Aspenwood that the cattlepult is currently working in the “Sorrows Furnace” server. (update this is confirmed, Sorrows Furnace works fine) There are of course other servers that it works in as well.

Not working in Fort Aspenwood, Henge of Denravi, Aurora Glade, Kaineng and Dark Haven.

How to use the “Guesting” feature:
1) At the character selection screen choose character and click world selection in the bottom left corner of the character screen.
2) A world select tab/panel will open.
3) Select the world you would like to “guest” in.
4) Click “Guest” (not transfer) in the bottom right corner of the panel.
5) To return to your “Home Server”, simply log out and back in and do not select a world to guest in.

For further details on how to use the “guesting” feature to use another server “temporarily”, and without cost to you, follow this link:

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/World

At least it’s an option to get your map completion done, until the bug has been corrected anyway. Hope this helps.

Guesting… brilliant idea!

Just guested onto Fissure of Woe/EU and managed to complete the vista!

Thx.

The vista cant be viewed/completed. There is no event, and the event does not re-occur. I have tried to complete this event on several characters – but it is not possible to complete it.

Could you stop all other activities, and fix the blocking bugs in this game? I see you have spend time on preventing people from teleporting in the EB puzzle, which doesnt block progress and isn’t an exploit. How can you spend time on stuff like that when you have bugs like this?

You have changed content in dungeons, changed how members revive, introduced new stuff/maps/events on several occasions. But you do not fix simple bugs that have been present since the release – bugs that prevents players from doing simple map completion in pve. Bugs – that has been reported to you via the ingame bug system AND via the forums.

As of 2/7/2013 a few of us players noticed in the Diessa area, to get the Vista on top of the tower. The one you have to complete the event to see the cattlepult fire, wasn’t quite initiating as it should. Any knowledge of this, and will this be addressed in the 2/13/13 game and server maintenance?

brilliant sir….Worked great

same problems here on fort aspenwood. has been happening on and off for months

Working on Tarnished Coast – just used it within the last hour.

I am on Henge of Denravi and this has been unavailable since 02/05/2013, but at least two of those days I was not logged in.

Did the cattlepult 2 days ago on Blacktide…

just guested onto TC and finished it

This is still bugged on my server (Fort Aspenwood). I have been camping it for a few hours now and have had the DE happen twice now and I can not use the catapult at all. I have tried what others have suggested here and nothing works. Someone else on my server heard that it was working on a diff server so he guested there and grab the vista then he came back to our server so this is bugged on my server (Fort Aspenwood). Please fix this bug since it has been around for more than 5 months now and people still can’t get completion without having to swap servers just for a single vista.

EDIT: Bug reported in-game as well. Pretty sad to have this kind of bug since release and have this many reports and nothing has been done about it.

This worked for me as well! Thanks for the tip!

The dynamic event doesn’t seem to be triggering. I’ve been checking it yesterday and today, watched it for about half an hour yesterday. Nothing happened.
Pretty sure I’ve already done this event anyway.

This is a really annoying roadblock to map completion.

if wasnt working for me on FA, but it worked when i guested onto TC. make sure you finish the event and wait for all of the dialogue and cow launches to end

You must complete event and then let him finish his bets. Then you can use it.

I never knew anything about a Dynamic Event. Sometimes I can just walk up and use the Cattlepult. But if NPCs are yakking, all bets are off. Wait until they are done and try again. (If I recall, you see the word “Cattlepult” in yellow text under the thing when it is active, and nothing if it is currently unavailable.)

On Piken Square, the NPC seems to think his apprentice is off collecting more cows (during which I should be able to use the cattlepult), the apprentice thinks he’s off collecting more cows too.

But he’s not, he’s just walking in circles around the cattlepult. So it’s stuck in the not-firing, no-event, can’t-use state.

Can I just point out how dumb it is to make a map completion element time-dependant? It’s a neat idea for a vista, but it’s a PITA that you have to wait or repeatedly visit it to get past this.

Also, this could have probably been fixed in a few minutes if the game had a proper GM-petition system, wth is up with that?

Bugged on Darkhaven.

Literally JUST did it on Sanctum of Rall. Looks like the patch fixed it for now.

catapult in diessa plataue which is needed to get to a vista isnt working.

Just bet 50 silver that it’d land at the harpy nests. It did, and came up with a dialogue thing saying “Lucky guess” but he didn’t give me any coins. My inventory was full at this point, and I noticed I had a Harpy Nests ticket.

He then fired for the last time and it reached the tower. He took the ticket, I got the “No, you’re wrong” dialogue, and still no coins.

50 silver lost, for no good reason

This. Same behaviour on Desolation. Not sure if it’s at all relevant, but either way after 2hrs or so of waiting, no event.

Also stuck on Dzagonur (no event for 3h, cattlepult unusable, NPC behaviour as mentioned)

/edit: Working again! If it didn’t just fix itself: Thank you!

Diessa Plateau – Read the title!!!

Yak’s Bend is not working!!!

worked fine for me.

Going through and doing map completion on Tarnished Coast lately and came across this Vista. I have looked into how to do it, and would love to even do the event to open it up, however it is the last thing on this particular map and as I have been on it for a few hours straight today the event and the catapult has not worked. Many people have been waiting around as well as myself and no one has reported it working in a while. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

I too am from Tarnished Coast. I guested to Sanctum of Rall in order to complete it today.

I am from Gates of Madness and Tigh Snatchskull is not getting cows so the event will not start.

I guested on Sanctum of Rall and was able to complete the event and vista

I guested on Underworld to complete it. Drakkar-Lake [DE] and Dzagonur were not working properly.
