Guild Wars 2

I have noticed alot of rage at the moment on my server Desolation about the last skill point in the area near Sentry Steppes being bugged for the past few days. Its one of those Orrian Guard style skill point challenged which i gather you have to fight but there is no option to start or complete it.

I know its not the only server having this problem as other friends of mine are having this exact same problem with this skill point.

There’s the same bug in Ring of Fire

Its just terribly annoying for anyone trying to 100% maps and having to travel there now and then costing a fair bit to gain nothing from it. Surely it can’t be hard to fix something like a skill point bugging out!

Probably not that hard but they have alot of bigger things to think about, there are still storyline missions that gets bugged. I think those get ahead in the queue of bugs.

Even though this may be true its still not just my server experiencing the problem so it is a pretty bad bug

Same bug on Sanctum of Rall. We also have the skill point in the Rally base bugged out at the moment, but that one was working last night so the NPC just needs reset.

Same here, Apparently there is a way to reset it. Im not sure how but some players figured it out on my server. Also Whenever they release a new build in the game, it seems to fix many of these sort of bugs for a while.

Alot of people have tried transferring to different servers in hope of getting the skill point but its been bugged there also. Be interesting to find out how they are resetting it though!

Same bug here. I already report it with the in game tool

I know how to fix it. I have done it multiple times on my server. I play as a guardian and if you equip a staff and use the “5” skill. (something about making an unpassable wall) if you line up the circle on the skill inside the circle below the npc, it will push it…it will start trying to get through the wall, and then reset and fall to the ground, once again allowing you to talk to it. Now, what break it, is if you attack it and knock it away while fighting or even simply moving backwards by fighting. if it moves while you are fighting it, it will bug out again. Find a guardian or someone with a wall skill and try this out. You are welcome. :-)

Hmm interesting. Seems abit extreme but will try it out to see if it works! I just hope they actually fix it soon though as so many people complain and having to spend 3 silver to get there to find it broken and then another 3 silver to go back is terrible.

Yeah it is quit annoying. I was just fooling around with it for a while and luckily I had a staff equipped.

use line of warding. its all about how you line it up as well.
the shield on the skill should be right in the middle of the green circle under the NPC when you click on him

Regardless of a workaround or not…I’d like to see a fix for this.

well yeah. obviously this isnt the way the devs want it to be. but since its been bugged for 5 days im sure people would like seeing this temp workaround
