Guild Wars 2

I’m not sure if we’re just doing something wrong – and if you happen to know better, PLEASE tell me so I can get my story finished – but it’s getting extremely frustrating for us. There are a number of bugs that just stop the meta events dead in their tracks, and given the amount of “difficulty” being piled in the zone it’s hard to tell where a bug begins and an intentional feature begins. I don’t recall the exact event names, so I’ll describe what they’re like.

Secure Jofast Waypoint – After escorting Warmaster Jofast to the third outpost on the north side of the Cursed Shore, she unloads her cargo from her dolyaks and an event starts to ‘secure’ the outpost by clearing it of Risen. The problem is the Risen don’t stop spawning. The only way to win the event is to zerg it so fast and hard you reduce the ‘remaining Risen’ counter to 0 faster than they respawn.

There is an additional bug I can’t trace; I came across the place in a half-finished state. The waypoint was contested, Jofast and her dolyaks were there, but no event was going on. I was able to even walk through the walls surrounding the camp.

Assault Shank Anchorage – We assume this is the next part in the chain, only after you control the three northern waypoints. If you fail to help Warmaster Chan take the Anchorage, he runs back to the Meddler’s Waypoint and just despawns entirely. The event will never restart until the next server reset, essentially locking Arah.

Help Crusader Angria call in reinforcements – Crusader Angria gets stuck during her route, or won’t do anything when reaching her destination.

Assault the Promenade of the Gods – This event asks you to kill a Champion Risen Giant, as well as giving you a meter for ‘Remaining Risen’ or something to that effect. Problem is, that meter will never move, as no Risen actually spawn alongside the giant.

Capture the central platform on the Promenade of the Gods – Part two of the former, basically. It might not be a bug, but if a single Risen so much as sneezes on the designated square, progress stops entirely. This includes the Risen Acolytes (and their ridiculously inflated aggro range) that naturally respawn in the area. If it’s not a bug, it’s still extremely frustrating.

Yes, we have the similar problem. :\
