Guild Wars 2

For a few of them, I’ve gotten the collection added on event completion but no item actually dropped for inventory and the “opps, I deleted the item” vendor in LA doesn’t have them. So I’m not certain what that will mean when I get the last 5 that I’m missing for t1.

That is what we all been curious about.

A dev answered on a threat on reddit where someone mentioned the wrong description. he didnt said something about Dragon stand, so i guess the dev only delivered this bug to the top priotities.

I hope it is getting fixed today or tomorrow. But we shouldn’t be to much excited. There are 3 more Tiers, which could be affected by bugs.

Since all 3 legendary Collections have Progress breaking Bugs at different stages, this isn’t really unlikely. -.-

Wow, Threats merged and still no reaction of any Dev.

I’ve read through some posts and wiki articles and found something that could eventually work to get Protector of All. The item inside the collection achievement says: Destroy the Blighting Tower, the DS-Meta Event however only disables the towers (see Event description). During my first attempts on DS-Meta i noticed that there are Blighting Pods below the Legendary Commander’s platforms that can be destroyed while being guarded by Preservers. However, the Pods become untargetable once all Commanders are defeated. I tried to gather some people during the Event last time, but i only found 2 willing to help me and the Preservers and Jungle Tendrils down there just killed us and only focusing pods doesn’t work either because the Preservers restore the Pod’s HP bar.

Considering that there are many bugs within the Precursor Collections and we already got a wrong description with the Thaumanova Instability, it is very likely that this one is just bugged as well and the devs just didn’t answer yet.
On the other hand though, if the mere completion of the event just isn’t enough and Anet wants us to find another solution, the lack of a dev response kinda makes sense.

So, in case anybody wants to try destroying the Blighting Pods themselves and can confirm that you don’t get Protector of All, please post your results. And if any dev reads this, please just confirm if this is a bug or not, just knowing it is a bug and it gets fixed in the near future would be very nice.

Thanks!

This was allready tested by a group, it didn’t work for them.

It is a bug, and the silence we are experiencing from the Devs is just really, really disappointing!!

2 Years of waiting and now this.

Maybe they fix some more Lipsynchronisation bugs with the next patch. Seems to be more important. Sigh

anyone else regretting putting all those hours into getting the legendary masteries done for the “headstart” yet?

Same here, no sign of Protector of All after several successful DS metas.

@Munch: I only had 3rd mastery done in the Legendary mastery line, currently working on the last. So far I was able to almost complete Nevermore Vol.1. – only this one is missing. But yea, I’m kinda glad, I wasn’t rushing to complete the whole mastery line too much, at least now I can finish it the casual way xD

I’m also dissapointed, that after all this waiting we are still delayed, and have obviously no idea what will we need to gather/buy to progress in the making. Looking at the other series 1 precursor collection bugs that are still not sorted out yet, I’ll be ‘happy’ if we can start properly working on Nevermore precursor next year. :S

Can you at least tell us that you’re aware or explain what’s stalling you for so long?

I still hope it will be done before the weekend.

This is really disappointing me, too.

Since i have a very bit of game developement experience, i can say that it doesnt take that much effort to give the “Protector of All” Collection item, which is actually bugged, the Weappon Vendor, who stand at the Chest, after you defeated mouth of Mordremoth so you can purchase it for 1.000 Karma or whatelse.

Such a hotfix would be great. But we aren’t being heard. Again.

A quick answer like: “We will fix this witch the next patch.” would be fine. But nothing. And honestly, Anet is not a 10 People development Studio. So this is getting even more disappointing…

They even have time to patch some insignificant sound effect and lore error from Rata Novus Intructors, which no-one really care…

I have no idea if it was already known or posted elsewhere. I just found out and i thought i should share: http://db.dulfy.net/recipe/11232

What an immensive Goldsink.

Just wow.

And this is only Tier 1……..

It seems it’d be the same as other 2-h precursors:
100 Spirit Wood Planks..

But this time you can’t buy precursor from TP or get them from Mystic Forge.

This is just AWESOME. Anet never learns anything.

Basically the new legendaries are no different from old ones. The material cost, 250 ecto, 77 Clover, 200 of each T6 rare materials (blood/etc), everything’s the same.

Just that this time they add in more currency stuff IN ADDITION to enormous gold sink.

You need to keep in mind. Old Precursors are super rare drops, these new ones, CAN be crafted for nothing. If you have the mats already. or craft them yourself. IE Spiritwood planks. Ecto’s salvaged from rares.

So gold sink? No.. Time sink? Absolutely.
(The orignal post stating the bug in DS. its absolute crap they should fix it asap.)

I welcome these new precursors. I love the idea..

Get crafting my friends….

I already crafted my Zap → Bolt from this new system.
No need to lecture me. I’m fully aware of how horrendous the system is because I already been through it.

Gl collecting your 30k woods for the Raven Staff. Hope you enjoy.

I’ve spent 4 full metas looking for this to drop. Now u did the fix so I have to spend another 2 plus hours looking for it. Ugh man, why not just award to those that completed it.

Did I miss a patch to fix it?

THEY Fixed it.. Although I am at work and unable to make sure its fixed.

“•Fixed a bug with Protector of All not being awarded to players on Nevermore I: Ravenswood Branch after completing Northern Assault, Southern Assault, or Central assault events in Dragon’s Stand.”

Aye, guess it’s time to switch my profession to lumberjack then x)

Yeah still bugged for me too.. Did the event about 20minutes ago and some of us got the protector.

I just did the event and protect of all is still bugged…

I also did the event today, twice even, and did not receive the item either, so it’s definitely not fixed.

I just checked my achievements and I don’t have the ones for taking any of the three blighting towers in Dragon’s Stand despite having done all three. Even after they said they patched it. I guess the game just doesn’t recognize me completing these events for some reason.

I didn’t get the item the first time I did the DS meta so I tried again. The second time I did get the drop. Im not sure if its just RNG or not but just incase its not, I did the north lane events without ever leaving the north lane. I also was in the boss killing team and made sure to attack all the pods (also we did not let any of the pods respawn, no idea if this helps the achievement at all)

This is exactly how it happened to me as well, only the second time I did it on the middle lane, and, as you, made sure to be very involved in the Blighting Tower event. Got it on second try.
