Ok I am now 99.9% of world completion, and kinda wondering when this will be fixed?

Diessa plateau has a skill point bug on a Vista, where a “cow launcher” launches you to a vista point. This has now been bugged for 3 weeks now.

Is this Anet’s sick way of simply slowing down player progression? As it’s getting rather un-amusing for some of the length of these bugs. I have rather patien for 3 weeks it seems occupying myself to other issues, but I would really like my world completion…

And does anyone know if there’s a way to get round this bug, for exemple transfer to different servers until it works, has that worked for anyone?

Thanks for you input.

The REALLY frustrating thing about this is that I’m not even sure it’s a bug, because sometimes it works – it worked earlier this afternoon when I was on another character. Apparently there’s some kind of event that needs to trigger (involving one of the NPC’s going for cattle and this triggering in turn a test of the cattleputt which is interrupted by a harpy attack, and then once that’s driven off the cattleputt NPC shoots off three more cows and THEN you can use the device) – but I have no idea what needs to be done to start the ball rolling. Does anyone know?

I have no idea how I did it, but keymashing out of frustration seemed to work. Happened right after I tried it and got the content unavailable message.

Might not help, but worth a shot.

It’s working now, Once the event is over and he stops blabbing you can’t click on him as you get the content not avail, but click on the cannon to go for a trip.

It’s been working for a long time. Don’t talk to the NPC; interact with the cow launcher itself. Talking to the NPC results in an error; interacting launches you. I’ve seen people complaining about it being bugged in /map chat even while I’m flying in the air after being launched.

Yes, it IS working. I also thought it was buugged. But you just have to wait for all the cows to be shot out, then they go to get more.. then access the catapult from the front.. I just did it.

The problem occurs when the “getting more cows” event get stuck. Then, the launcher never becomes active again until the servers are restarted.

This is intermittently bugged, I know when to check it.. have done it before on my main but yesterday when I tried to do it on an alt nothing worked… I walked away, figured it was bugged, finished the zone and then asked if it was bugged for others and from that decided to give it one more shot before leaving.. it worked. Both times the event was over and both times the NPC wasn’t talking. The first time I was getting the “this content is temp disabled” bit.
