Guild Wars 2

Sotzz the Scalleywag has been missing for 2 weeks on Sanctum of Rall server. My guild has been doing bounties around reset time on Sunday evenings. 3 to 4 hours prior to that I go scouting for Sotzz looking for him or his “Suspicious Barrels” only to never find either anywhere in the zone. I’ve literally covered the entire canvas of the zone numerous times the past couple of weeks and haven’t found any sign of him anywhere. I’ve checked underwater areas, inside of buildings, inside of all of the caves and tunnels and nooks, in the jumping puzzles, and all over the open areas. I believe he has somehow bugged out and is not re-spawning correctly. I have guested to other servers and found him in less than a half hour, and notice there are suspicious barrels all over the zone. This is not the case on Sanctum of Rall. I have also contacted community members who have submitted spawn point maps on the internet to try to find him. They, also, were unable to find him on SoR by guesting here to look.

Many guilds, including ours, have been forced to fail their guild bounties because they drew Sotzz on this server. I hope this report gives enough headway to hopefully fix whatever is causing him not to spawn before the next update goes live.

This is our experience as well on Yak’s Bend.

Same here. A bounty hunt training just failed on Aurora Glade for our guild as well, when around 14 of us was looking for suspicious barrels and none of us ran into any of them. Aslo, for some of us, the whole bounty hunt training time was not visible, when others could see the remaining time (I activated it, leader rank).

Hopefully this gets fixed soon, as building time 3 days is quite long for smaller guilds who cannot really boost it up.

We had the same problem today on Aurora’s Glade: no barrels at all. If it’s a bug, please fix as soon as possible.

I’d also like to add that this boss is way way harder to find than any other, basically being impossible to track in advance and not even having a path you can search him on. We have a medium sized guild, so we have been able to dispatch him a couple of times, but a smaller guild getting him means automatic fail.
