Guild Wars 2

In the personal story quest “Brute force”, while in the part of defending children against mobs invasion, mobs suddenly stop to spawn an I can’t finish the quest. I am just standing there waiting for mobs to spawn and nothing happens. This happened 3 times. Once I finished it but i got kicked out because I entered out of the instance zone as I was heading back to the ending point (it was just 1 second after I accidentally ran out of the zone).

I had the same issue with that quest. I just exited and retried and it worked for me. :/ I’d say just keep going in and going straight to the defend point and you should know pretty quick after the first wave if it’s bugged. If nothing comes, just leave and go back in. I’m sure you’ll get through it a lot faster doing that than waiting for a reply/fix from the devs.
Good luck.

I will do it, I am just reporting it so they can fix it when they have time

Just to make the devs aware – I too experienced this same bug when I did the story quest. I had to run out of the zone to force a reset, and my second time back in, it worked.

I too have had the same bug

Same thing has happened to me.

Same for me too. Really frustrating

I had to do this quest 4 times to get it to finish. I would’ve saved myself a lot of time if I had read this post first.

If after the 3rd wave nothing spawns for a minute or two, then re-enter. (I waited 15+ minutes waiting for undead to spawn.)

2 weeks passed and the quest is still bugged… Great job, ANet. Spend over an hour on it, rerun 6 times, still can’t finish it. Maybe just disable this storyline option or make a warning that it’s bugged, it shouldn’t be so hard.

Hi, I am stuck here in this Quest, exactly as mentioned by the OP.

I’m surprised that this hasn’t been fixed yet. I’ve just reached this part and can’t get beyond the second wave. Needless to say, it’s still bugged.

Hi I had this same issue. After getting to the area with the children, it gets through about 3 waves and then waves stop coming. I’ve replayed this instance several times. The last conversation you see is with the Tactical Advisor. It gets through about 2 waves of small fry dudes, and after the 3rd wave of brutes it stops sending guys.

Hopefully this gets fixed soon as it is an annoying bug.

Same thing just happened to me. The waves just stopped coming. Perhaps it is worth noting that the Tactician was knocked out right about this time.

Still bugged – fouth wave – the risen plague carriers were the last wave to come on both tries.

Had the same problem during this story mission but only on Whiteside Ridge server. I change server to Desolution and the mission worked just fine.

happened to me today. after they stopped spawning i went out and cleared the area but still nothing. second try worked.
for reference:
-was playing thief
-they stopped coming after second wave
-one dude was dead

I’m having the same problem. I have restarted the quest four times and have killed every mob in the instance doing so. it is definitely not a “hung up” enemy, it is most definitely a bug.

This quest is still bugged for me too. 3rd wave of mobs then stop. I did a sweep of the area for mobs. that is not the issue. The tactician as well as some other guys did go down so perhaps that triggers the bug

same bug for me

Same thing happened to me today – bugged after the third wave. Definitely think it was because some of my team died, as suggested upthread – when I went through again and kept them all up it was fine.

Instead of spawning waves when the last wave is completely dead, can the waves be spawned then the last wave is mostly dead? (Say, not more than one surviving vet, all champs and up dead, and 80% of all lesser foes dead). One is not likely to fail to notice an unkilled champion, and the ‘spawn wave 2 on death of wave 1’ seems artificial, and prone to incidental failure if one of the foes is overlooked for any reason (spawned in a wall/under a hill).

still bugged cant get passed this…………

fix
if it lagged so that the next wave wont start re log this worked for me

the quest bug occurs if any of the NPCs which take part in the conversation after the first wave is dead. If they are dead the conversation does not end and hence the second wave does not spawn. Ressing the NPC does not make the conversation continue. Try recreating this scenario, i think you’ll find out the fix.

still bugged…stopped spawning mobs after 3rd wave

This bug still exists. Just got it after the first wave.
