Guild Wars 2

Please confirm this for me, anyone. I’m in Jade Quarry and guested in 2 other servers to try and do this. My problem is that the event doesn’t progress at all. It would say like 4 cows alive, but there are no cows ANYWHERE in sight. Like I said, 3 servers, same problem.

Fixed for Kaineng server after new build, thanks!

Still no luck. Triedtoguest at Kaineng. Please fix asap.

That is most likely because the event reset and you were able to complete it before it started getting stuck again. I’m still wondering why the event doesn’t have a fail event option.

I cannot believe this has been bugged this long, preventing many people from getting 100% map completion. Jesus ANET, fix this. I just reported this bug in game, and searching the forums, I really didn’t except to find a thread this long.

This is completely and totally uncalled for. This should be a top priority, as it prevents many players from getting their legendaries and blocks progress for 100% map completion. I guested to 2 separate servers (Blackgate and Feurgeson’s Crossing) from my home server of Maguuma and all 3 are glitched.

Totally irresponsible by Arena Net to let this go so long unfixed. Shame…

This event is stuck on Yak’s Bend, Dragonbrand and Kaineng in much the same position. 4 cows alive, 3 needed no cows in the world to defend.

I’ve never had this event broken until after the last patch which claimed to fix this event.

Guess I’ll be sat at 99% world completion until it gets fixed ….again

WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

I have everything i need for my legendary except for this vista. WHAT THE FFFFFF
Anet is complete trash, i spent the last 3 weeks farming my kitten off for this twilight and now i cant get it cuz ANET SUCKS????

I tried guesting on anvil rock and maguuma theirs is bugged as well.

ANET TAKE THIS VISTA OUT OF THE GAME. QUIT BEING kitten /p>

honestly im so incredibly mad right now, omg. omg ggggg

Hey,

I’ve been reporting this bug TWO times since Thursday the 1st. But well it seems like it’s not only me.
Did anyone notice that this event (if working correctly) is funny as hell?
Whoever wrote this one has a really big sense of humor.

regards,

who cares if its funny or not. this kitten is bugged and its stopping me from getting my legendary. anet is so incredibly fail, kitten them.

Dragonbrand, Yak’s bend, every server is bugged

remove this event from the game please

Still not working? C’mon arenanet. Do something
btw not working on kodash

Heheh. Still going strong after launch.

Can anyone on a server in which this is currently working post?

Broken on Riverside, Elona and Koash. ~.~ And again its the last Vista, missing for completition. Please Anet, fix this one

I dont know if to laugh or just facepalm till I bleed.

This is the third time I do 100% worldcompletion. And also the third time I get stuck here. I guess legendary 5 and 6 will just be bought from the TP…

Seriously, this thread started seven months ago and they are still having problems here? Here’s an idea… remove the event and have the Cattlepult active at all times. By the way this event is stuck on Gates of Madness, Jade Quarry and Eredon Terrace.

@Caol Ila.3298: There is a reason my charr is named “Mad Mardine” … best event ever

FYI Anet almost had the event fixed when the “Living story” content really messed it up and it would get stuck on almost every server (before it would only get stuck on some servers after a few days or weeks).
With the recent update Anet tried to finally fix the issue due to the new content. Unfortunately they only fixed one of two issues. The one they fixed was where the event got stuck because the event would not finish correctly after it succeeded. This issue prevented the event from recurring but the cattlepult was most likely still usable.
The issue Anet missed was the one that is observed now. Of course you would wonder how they would miss that? Well if the event runs only once and gets stuck at the end of the event there were only a handful of servers on which the event bugged because it should have failed.

I would put my money on Anet that the next patch will fix it permanently since it seems quite straight forward to add the right conditions to cause the event to fail (aka if cows alive < cows needed…) but it would not be the first time for Anet to nullify my expectations.

The developers are looking into this issue. There will be most definitively be a fix in the next patch. So be patient and take the time to play the new content or finish up other maps.

Jeffrey Vaughn.1793:

I made a change in the upcoming content update that should make the cowapult much more accessible. We’re still trying to track down the bug causing the NPCs to stall after the event runs (but before the cowapult is usable) but the upcoming change should allow you to use the cowapult unless the event is actively running.

Now the event seems to run non-stop. And I believe it is called a “Cattlepult.”

Unfortunately, the count now seems to indicate that there are enough cows for the event to complete, yet no cows seem to remain in the area. A confounding cattlepult cow counting conundrum.

The funny part is I quit 7 months ago bacause of this quest (final straw), and it STILL doesn’t work when I return

Ok, I guess it did work some time around christmas….

Glad it is bugged on all servers, I mean I’m glad I found out, I was about to change server….

Mad Mardine is bugged right now, there is an event going on, and no way to complete it. We can not use the catapult.

It’s fixed now .

Think the event just reset with the last update. A bunch of us had the same idea to get to the Cattlepult immediately after an update. Worked for us. Not sure if the problem is completely fixed since this is not indicated in the patch notes, so if others have issues in the future, just get there right after an update.

no, it is not fixed. still bugged on yak’s bend. please fix.

Guest on Ring of Fire right now there is no event going there

Jumped 2 Servers and this sthing is bugged on 3 servers. Disable the trigger. 7 Months of a bug means you will be unlikely to find the bug or have the resources to do so.
You could also remove the vista or auto activate it or move it to the ground.
7 Months is a very long time to have the exact same problem!
If x = y then z !!

Any servers where this is currently working?

A server in America

I am in Fort Aspenwood, jumped to Darkhaven, and then another server and they were all not working. This needs to be fixed. Only thing left for 100% completion in the area.

Gunnars Hold, still bugged :/ 99% and cant complit. Hope itll work soon

bugged on Sea of Sorrow. guested to other servers. broken.

Please fix.

Still bugged ( Ring of Fire )

Bugged on Borlis pass. Shows two cows needed, four alive, but there are no cows in the area. Just non-stop harpies. No way to use the machine to get the vista.

Piken Square Bugged!
I guested Gunnars Hold and Dzagonour but both are bugged.
I understand that you might be busy with other things.
So why not disable the event untill you decide to seriously deal with it?
There is no point. All it does is causing trouble for players completing the map.
Lost almost half of my gaming time to find what is going on with this.

add Anvil Rock to the list, bugged as well.

SoR, HoD, and Devona’s all bugged

Sea of Sorrows still bugged. Anyone know one that isn’t? Last vista for world completion

Sea of Sorrows still bugged.
TC also bugged.

Still bugged on Darkhaven, Sea of Sorrows, Gate of Madness.

Talk about annoying

Bugged on Northern Shiverpeaks, Dragonbrand, Darkhaven, Crystal Desert, and Kaineng. Highly annoying.

Playaone.2640:

Guest on Ring of Fire right now there is no event going there

Confirmed – right now, still working on Ring of Fire.

It’s broken on Piken Square, though (“2 cows needed, 3 alive” – but no cows around and the NPCs never do anything) – which is why I came to this thread in the first place).

If it is working on Ring Of Fire people in the America worlds cant guest there.

can not obtain this vista in Eradon Terrace. Cow catapult event will not complete. Please help as this is the only Vista I have left for this area.

This fix had better not be planned for the next monthly update. This crap needs to be either fixed immediately or be taken out.

Still bugged on Yak’s Bend, Stormbluff Isle and Ferguson’s Crossing

as of this writing Defend Mad Mardine’s cows from harpies while he tests his invention… is still stuck for Jade Quarry..

I can confirm that Ring of Fire still works! Guest there to get the Vista.

Sea of Sorrows ?Maguuma , and Tarnish Coast still bugged.
Any American server is ok?

what a kitten bug that cant be fixed at least after a year?

Please ANET, fix this. Can we please get a response that you will issue a build this coming week or the following to permanently fix this godforsaken bug? That’s not really too much to ask that we be able to get 100% map completion.
