Guild Wars 2

On Henge of Denravi, the Shadow Behemoth event is broken as well as the champion oakheart.

Did you do the events at the Eldvin Monastery south of Krytan Waypoint?

Those events at the monastery hasn’t been active. It seems the Oakheart event is bugged since it’s stuck on “Preparation”.

We clear the monastery and then the timer goes grey indicating 2 hours or whatever for re-spawn as if the event completed. A short time later, monastery requires assistance comes up again and the cycle repeats. It has been like this for quite a while now.

We’ve been starting the ale shipment / recovering the stolen ale / protecting the ale and SB goes on cool down instead of starting afterwards.

yeah this has been broken for the better part of 12 hours now

I believe TC has experienced this state once or twice as well long ago – before some attempted fixes to Shadow Behemoth and prereqs as a whole (which seemingly all focused on Brenda)

Is the corruption miasma on the ground around Greatheart Weald? When Oak stalled the chain then, it seemed like she didn’t spawn correctly, and the miasma effect that takes place when the event is active was all over the area, yet no champion in sight.

I did not see the miasma around Greatheart Weald but my vision is poor. Hopefully someone else can confirm.

There is no miasma events in Queensdale.

There is at least one miasma/Scarlet event that happens in Queensdale, but it’s closer to where boar and wasp are located.

Those are toxic offshoots. They are found in low level areas around Maguuma Jungle and Kryta.

All zones had reset from the new build several hours ago, so the Oakheart event should be working for now.

It appears that both events are working now after the update.

It has nothing to do with the offshoots, I’m not talking about the toxic spore effect.

The chain was getting stuck before Tower of Nightmares even happened – Some part of either the Oakheart spawning or the SB related portals event causes a black miasma very low to the ground.

It was persisting in the area around Greatheart Weald specifically, and Oak did not spawn for a very long time – nor did the SB preevents.

I’d assume it’s more related to the SB portals actually – as the miasma looks much like the wispy black you see permeating from the area in the Swamp SB emerges from.

Bump.

Still very much not resolved. A reset/update is only a temporary fix, Sea of Sorrows is having the same problem currently

Here’s a picture of what Greatheart Weald looks like on SoS – the miasma I was referring to is stuck, as if the event is going on, yet no spawn. Has nothing to do with Offshoots.

Event chains CAN get bugged on a server zone. I’m only aware of one way to fix them and that is to have the zone reset. This can only be accomplished by getting ALL players to leave the zone for some length of time (I have NO idea how long this is) so that when the next player tries to enter the zone, it rebuilds itself. This is what happens when ANet FORCES everyone into a new zone with an update (the update code itself has nothing to do with the glitch getting corrected).

Unfortunately, Queensdale is going to be a real challenge to get everyone to leave as it is both a popular Champ Train zone and new player start zone (and often used by BL key farmers). Good luck.

EDIT: My suggestion is a temporary solution and the bugging can certainly occur again in the future. Getting the actual event glitches to stop is another matter entirely (I guess the actual BUG itself).
