Guild Wars 2

I’ve tried for about a week now to get through this story but everytime I try this one guy who I’m supposed to kill turns up non-aggressive. I’ve tried everything. Bringing in friends, clicking him like crazy, bombarding him with skills. Nothing works. Is anyone else having this problem and is A-net going to fix this anytime soon?

So, I’ve done this quest before, and when I perform the actions to get the Sons of Svanir drunk and away into their tent, the green swirly toggle doesn’t change from the beer cart to the minotaur cage. I have no way to open the cage and free the minotaurs, and thus, no way to complete the quest.

I’ve tried a few things. I’ve tried restarting. I’ve tried reversing the order in which I serve the ale to the Svanir, I’ve joined in the brawl that happens, but nothing seems to work. It seems bugged to me, unless I’m doing something seriously wrong and missing it entirely.

i im encoutering the same problem stated as above at the end of the mission one Son of Svanir Stays green highlighted cant kill this one in any way neither does the story end..
resetting it doesn’t matter en doing it on another day also doesn’t help here plz!!

This is more than just a stuck gate. I’ve gotten past the part where you free the minotaurs and the Svanir who calls for aid is stuck as green as well. It’s like you aren’t allowed to finish this mission on multiple levels.

I as well am stuck on the fight after the Minotaur’s are freed, done it twice, the first time 1 stayed green, the second 2….

event progress in pers story and dungeons bugged to high heaven, anet currently looking for a fix, but for the moment, try again later

Yep, stuck for me too. I would assume the last one should go aggro and need to be killed. But he just stands there after the waves are dead…

Me too…getting the same bug as all the others here. Its the last part where you have to defeat them and the only one left standing is the 1 enemy that is still green.

Oh good, it’s not just me then. Has it happened to anyone before the update?

Still bugged even after April Fools’s Day patch

Still bugged even after April Fools’s Day patch

Thanks, saved me time. I keep checking back here before I attempt it!

tried again this morning after post april fools day patch, still bugged out at the last son of svanir, he still stays green and unattackable… my engineer continues to be stuck here 10 levels higher… it would be nice to fix this sometime in the near future…

same here !!! do something about it

im stuck at 12 with Norn Mesmer I also have a problem of having a green Svanir at the end of the mission have tried this 5 diff ways today with no success. I also have a Norn ranger that did this when she was like 13and it went fine but that was like a month ago. Please fix this issure.

still very much bugged,,,, can’t free the minator,,,, the remaining sons of svanir turn green,,,, plz fix this.

the latest patch had solved the issue with first part of instance,,, but the second part where u have to kill all the svanir is bugged as i can see two green svanir which i can’t kill thus i can’t complete the story,,,,, plz fix

I give up. deleted level 20 norn engineer and doing something else… this got old for me

It’s bugged for me too. I can get passed the “Defeat the Sons of Svanir” part. As mentioned before, there are two Svanir blokes left which remain green instead of turning red.

i cant believe NO ADMINISTRATOR say anything about this, ANet wanted to come back and play again this game and this is how they care about MAYOR issues with game? we deserve an explanation and fix of this problems, at leats come say u are aware of the problem good kitten it.

yep and we deserves some EXP booster or item for this. Well than is really anoing issu. mostly for that we don`t get any item doing other quests and it is one of most fast exp method. recompense!!! and What most important fix it !!!

Still Bugged- Hope this gets fixed soon.

Yeah this quest is still hosed.

Same on my side… looks like ANet doesnt give a S*** about his game and doesnt want to do a 5min fix for +-17days…

No seriously… is there someone who actualy read this things and solving it?!?!

if they cant fix this simple thing i dont want to see expansion….

GJ ANet…. GJ clap clap clap clap

I’ve tried going through it four times now, and it gets stuck all four times. These Svanir are acting weird. Some of them are moonwalking around, which may be indicative of a bigger problem, but that’s pure conjecture. What I do know is that one of the NPCs isn’t becoming hostile, and I’m pretty sure that’s why it won’t complete the third objective, “Defeat the Sons of Svanir.” Specifically, it’s the one that runs up the path after the minotaurs escape and calls out to the rest. I’ve been standing, watching him for over ten minutes, and he’s still green, friendly, not attackable.

Variations I’ve tried:
Changing the order of getting the Svanir groups drunk
Assisting in the fight that breaks out (twice) or leaving them to end it themselves (twice)
Letting Eir’s dialogue play out completely (twice) versus skipping it (twice)

Basically no choice I make seems to have any impact, so I’m stuck. I’d like to get on with my norn’s story. Already submitted a bug report ingame a couple days ago.

THE same with me … the last son of svanir is just in friendly mode…so i cant kill him…and the game is stuck…been waiting 2 weeks for a reply

Same here, my storyline is stuck. How do you report a bug in GW2?

The Devs are aware of the PS bugs, and have stated a fix will be released shortly. (You can find the post in the Dev Tracker.) No need to report it, again. You can, however, if you want to (in-game).

Good luck.

Just wanted to add my picture to this.
This one Son of Svanir here who comes in to shout about the minotaurs being gone always bugs out and doesn’t turn red. I started the game a few days ago and it’s really fun but this keeps annoying me because I can’t continue playing with my Norn :I

Here’s the Dev post: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Personal-Story-An-Apple-a-Day-not-progressing/first#post4936578

It seems like it’s the same issue as the Sons of Svanir in front of Aldus Stormbringer in HotW path 1, they just stand there walking around, not turning aggressive, this happened in the same patch as where they broke the casting animation of some skills(vapor blade etc).

The bug still persists. I logged in this evening and noticed there was an update. So I decided to try this quest again. However, the bug still persists, and now 2 NPCs Sons of Svanir will not turn hostile. I previously only experienced 1 NPC that wouldn’t turn hostile. So whatever you (devs/programmers) did made this worse.

Please fix ASAP because I would like to progress through my story quest.

Thank you.

Just chiming in as another player this bug is hitting. I’ve tried twice now, and the one that comes in and shouts after the others go to sleep won’t turn hostile.

I would just wait until they say it is fixed. All that was stated in the patch notes was that a client crash was fixed. Additionally, the dev only stated they were investigating it earlier, there was no way the fix would be out yet. It may take time to find and fix, and they will have to test it before releasing it as well, in hopes it doesn’t break something else and actually fixes it.

I have one question with two parts:

Was this bug/glitch apparent before the most recent patch on April 1, 2015 (April Fool’s Day), and if it wasn’t why not roll back whatever updates you applied?

Just to update/information: The bug still exists. I tried different approaches. How many sons do not turn aggressive seems to depent on the order in which you get them drunk. At one occation at least 4 of them did not turn aggressive. The one I never got aggressive is the one standing immediately by the door to the minotaur prison/cage (one of the three marked with the green star when you start serving the ale. He does not seem to react normal at all, he does not answer or react or say anything if I serve him the ale.

next update and it stays same

I reported this and got this email back this morning acknowledging the issue. We just need to wait a bit for the fix to be released.

Thank you for contacting our team about a game issue that you experienced. The Guild Wars 2 Development Team is aware of this issue and team members currently are working on addressing it.

THANK YOU ANET! Way better then Wow’s blizzard support, it is soo good that they got back to us quickly

Any response is better than no response.

At least ANet is know of this bug.

Just confirming it’s still bugged this morning. Have tried everything, can’t get through it.

I have the same problem, I’ve been unable to find a fix.

Also having this problem. Level 38 Ele.

Same here… Stuck at the personal story quest

so my ranger’s pet is bugged so i decided to level my norn personal story and guess what… yup that part of the story is bugged, thats my luck, weeks of dealing with bugged content.

thats what happen when the devs are focusing more on their lil expansion and the gem store

I have the same problem. Please help us!

I’ve sent in a couple of bug reports in the last 5 days or so and I’ve watched this posting each day to see if the problem has been addressed and fixed. The Personal Story can’t be played. I agree with Lumberjack, please help us.

Same bug, but at Disciples of the Dragon. I can fight the leader but after that nothing happens (I waited half an hour so it´s not only taking time). I know that ANet has lots of work but please hurry so we all can play the story. (sorry for my bad english, im german)
