Retribution is bugged for me. The risen that appear during this level all seem to be ‘invulnerable’ and don’t take any damage at all. The only group that I noticed so far which actually took damage was the group at the top of the beacon (appears without NPC nearby and includes a champion unit).

The map also doesn’t show the objective markers, and it doesn’t even update the objective on joining the map.

This bug prevents any kind of progress for me.

I have the same problem, and it’s infuriating, to say the least. I’ve literally swam around the map to Claw Island’s base, and obviously, nothing was happening, as the progression of the mission dictates that the gates must be opened first.

As an added note, there’s a group of enemies by the light tower who can be damaged and killed, but all the same nothing comes from it.

There’s a group of Risen that needs to be slain before the subsequent ones become vulnerable.

The first one isn’t there at the beginning, but rather comes at you from your right as soon as you get down from the ship. If you move quickly, you can skip them (either volountarily or not) and aggro the other groups which by then are still invulnerable.

Try waiting for them at the docks, I’m quite sure you’ll be able to progress with your Personal Story.

Did you speak to the NPC at the very start? It looks like you’re running ahead of the story and trying to get into a fight with the NPCs before you’ve advanced the story steps.

Had the same issue. Restarted mission 3 times. On the 3rd attempt the NPCs were activated. Prior attempts had no dialogue star.

I mentioned this in another post, the NPC for the first step is in the ship’s hold, so he’s slightly under your start position. His story star is visible, but tends to get obscured by the ship. Speaking to him will advance the story, and kick off a cutscene on deck.

I found the NPC thanks to your post (Professor Gorr in my case), but he had no star above him or anything to indicate he was the right NPC to talk to. The story did progress to the strategy meeting on deck with the star there.

With all that said, even if not a bug, it is bad mission design.

I had to search to find this thread to move on. Someone on the Deck should keep repeating " Go down into the hold and talk to [whateverhisnamewas] " . I would have not thought to go down there, there is no star that shows up on the main overhead map, nor the minimap.

I’m having this problem too, and I’ve restarted several times and done all of the steps in order. Funny enough, I’ve had GW2 since the day it came out (and played beta), and I’ve already completed the personal story with my main. This is completely 100% bugged. Going to put in another ticket that’ll never be looked at, I guess.
