Is it a bug that we can never get our obby shards? or can a group get together and just do it? ive been doing a lot of searching and people keep saying its bugged, and it shouldn’t be something where you have to transfer to a different server. I would be more patient if guesting to other servers worked but there needs to be a better system. can anyone tell me where a guide is that will tell me how to get the vendor available? or tell me how its bugged?
Last I did it, the bug was solved. But we just lacked people. The Risen Balt Boss is extremely “powerful”, has alot of hp and on a short timer. You thus need a big group of people that know how to play and will just respawn when they die instead of staying there expecting people to res them.
you know what happend and why you still spend times on ridiculous holloween events?
i want to buy those obsidian shards for weeks and it keep bugging like that. It’s suck!!
do some thing Anet coz so many ppl Complain about this and all u can do is reset server? that’s not wise!
What exactly is this bug? I keep seeing people asking where it is open but I don’t know what stops it. At the moment got people waiting for it on Desolation. Quite a few have come from other areas to help, more would be good but we don’t know whether to wait or not. North and South Forces arrived maybe 45 mins ago.
EDIT: My post was merged with this one so sorry it looks like such a stupid question. It was originally post one
[Group Event] Help the Pact reach the Altar of Betrayal before their morale is depleted.
The pact members are just standing in the same spot for the last 3 hours. thier morale at 75%. They are just killing mobs that are around them then going back to thier “stucked spots”. pls fix. thank you.
The Meta Event is still bugged most of the time. Now with the 7 Day delay for Server change we cannot switch to another server where it is not bugged. It is buggy for quite some time and i would like to know if the Devs are currently working on this. It’s really frustrating when the only things left to craft a legendary are shards which we cannot obtain due the buggy event chain. An official statement on this would be very nice.
Not sure if this is a game wide issue or server only. But we just recently got a lot of people together to take the Temple of Balthazar to spawn the merchant to buy obsidian shards but when we got to the temple on the last escort quest they kind of just sat around and Balthazar never spawned. From what I have heard this has happened a few times and it is very frustrating to us trying to get legendaries, especially when it takes A LOT of willing people to do this event and when we do end up getting enough people it just ends up being bugged. If you could please address this issue that would be fantastic.
This is a “game wide” problem from what I’m reading on the forums. Anvil Rock does join in your frustration though. I actually saw the event trigger as intended 3 days ago for the first time in weeks, couldn’t get enough people to show up to finish Balth off before the timer because I quote “that s—t is still broken isn’t it” and “sorry not comming out there again for that s—t to bug”. So if it triggers for you I hope you can round up the people, GL.
Thanks for the info Thor.. I highly doubt if it trigger there will be enough people around to kill him since everyone is so frustrated with it. Anet please take this off the back burner and fix it! Ill love you long time!
yeah in Yaks the escort quest is bugged saying pact members alive: 7/7
and only 6 are alive and the 7th cant be rezzed. so now there all just chilling unable to move. please deal with these! or just make a temporary vendor that will sell the obby shards. but do something! and if the servers are switching to 7 day change, please make guesting a priority so we can at the very least go to an unbugged server
The temple is bugged on Jade Quarry server also. Reinforcements arrived almost 2 days ago, and nothing has happened ever since. I really need to use this temple. Let’s get a server reset, or an actual fix because this temple seems to be bugged on 95% of the servers.
Or better yet, why not implement a SECOND way to obtain obsidian shards? Sounds crazy, I know..
Does anyone know where information about resets is located? If maybe there is a reset scheduled for today, or tomorrow, or where one would even read about this?
The Temple of Balthazar meta event chain in the Straits of Devastation on the Crystal Desert server is bugged. The Pat members just stand at the starting location of the chain of events but do not move. It has been bugged all day. Please resolve.
Been waiting for days to buy more Obsidian Shards for my legendary, but once again, the event chain is broken on Crystal Desert. Please fix this, or make more places to buy shards.
Legends Never [DIE].

My previous post was deleted for “combative and demanding” language, which seems a bit like a Public Relations move since there were no disagreements with what I stated. So I will say this again without sarcasm.
Please implement a workaround for the bugged event chains in the straights of devastation.
Simple solutions that you could possibly implement:
1. Shards are sold by all temple vendors in Orr.
2. A shard vendor in Lions arch until the bugged events are fixed.
3. Event reset timers to reset frozen events.
4. Regular planned server resets until the bugged content is fixed. (PvP maps dont have to be reset, just server PvE maps, im fairly certain theyre held on separate servers)
This is not a demand, this is not me being ‘combative’. I am asking as a fan of this game, and a ‘valued customer’ to PLEASE fix this bugged end-game content. It has been bugged for close to two months now. I am specifically talking about the the world events in relation to temples in orr and other endgame content such as events that unlock dungeons like Arah. However, this issue can stretch down alot further to even low level zones- suggestions #’s 3 and 4 can address this.
Hello,
It’s been a week since Temple of Balthazar has been glitched on my server (Fort Ranik), so I’ve decided to post it here. The assault event simply doesn’t move. Here are screenshoots.
If you want more detail, you can just go there. It won’t unglitch itself after all^^
This glitch is really annoying because I need to buy Obsidian Shards for my legendary weapon. So I’d be glad if this would be fixed once I got my karma. Thanks!
Same situation happened just now on Desolation and it’s really annoying because I only needed a couple more shards for completing my legendary. This is the biggest most important event in the game right now and I am stunned to see how it’s not been resolved! Please assist!
Happened today too, on Gunnar’s Hold. And it’s even more frustrating, because the Pact group stopped right before the waypoint! Seriously, they needed to take a step more and they would have triggered the next part of the event, but no, they decided to troll us ^^. I need the Obisdian Shards too, I hope they fix/reset it soon enough
I sure am not going to wait till the november 16 update! Please anet do a fix on this now. This is the end game for most people and your most important event is bugged for everybody!
This gets bugged all the time on Whiteside Ridge. Several times yesterday when trying the Southern pact push event with only death and failure removing the npcs from their location. Then we tried the northern push and that too got stuck right before the temple. This time we had plenty of npcs left up and the only enemies that spawn are single targets, so they keep each other from dying and wont reset. Incredibly frustrating
Happened today too, on Gunnar’s Hold. And it’s even more frustrating, because the Pact group stopped right before the waypoint!
They are still there.
I was there yesterday and it was frustrating. Sometimes they would walk up the steps… and.. walk back down. Definitely felt like trolling to me!
Edit: Just tried again. Is it really a bug or us the players not really doing it right. Looking at this post is what caused me to wonder if it is a bug.
Event fails if morale falls to zero. Maybe they don’t go up final flight of stairs because morale is not full. Perhaps morale is supplied by bringing up another group to top up the morale. When enough morale is there something is triggered.
Only done this a couple of times. Maybe I’m completely wrong on this (if I’m not, I can picture the devs having a bit of a laugh with everyone blaming the difficult stuff on bugs). But, wouldn’t it be too easy otherwise. There would be no feeling of achievement if everything was handed to us on a plate.
@LightningLockey A couple of days ago, Temple of Balthazar was unlocked on server Dragonbrand. I was able to purchase from the karma vendor. The past couple of days, it has been locked again. I don’t know if it’s a bugged event or from a lack of players trying to complete the events.
This is also the case on Gunnars Hold server, the NPC’s make it to the temple of Balthazar as far as the platform where the way point is located and then the event stalls. As pointed out previously this is extremely annoying to vast swathes of people whom are trying to get the materials needed for Legendary weapons. If the event can not be fixed quickly so that it doesn’t bug out again, why not place obsidian shards with another Karma Vendor at an event that doesn’t have any problems?. I hope you take the time to reply to this thread and at least acknowledge the problem and say what is happening to prevent this from happening in the future. Apart from this the game is brilliant, don’t let 1 bad egg ruin the basket.
I report that in Whiteside ridge the event " [Group Event] Help the Pact reach the Altar of Betrayal before their morale is depleted" so i’m not able to free Cathedral of Glorious Victory and i can’t buy Obsidian shards from Tactician Deathstrider. This is a big trouble for my legendary-creation path.
The chain event, Defend the Pack Squad, at Strait of Devastation, Sactrum of Rall server, has been bugged for almost 5 hours. The Pack doesn’t move from the POI, Lone Post, at all. It seems like they’re stuck. I hope you can fix the issue as soon as possible. Here is the screenshots http://tinypic.com/r/9zldsw/6 http://tinypic.com/r/mrzbkw/6
So, I played GW about 1-2 months ago. Got level 80, wanted to have some fun fighting in Orr.. So, I was really looking forward to events like Temple of Balthazar. I also wanted the Obsidian Shards, so I can work towards a legendary.
But no…
After 2 months, you STILL havent fixed the issue with the pact troops bugging out south of the “Pact Rally Point” POI… So… We are STILL pulling the Champion Risen Giant to reset it… We are STILL using a giant in game to fix YOUR bugs. How about you get your act together and get this done???
Event is stuck on Anvil Rock and Borlis Pass. The pact northern and southern forces are at rally point and the next event will not trigger. Been like this for 3 days on Anvil Rock. Pretty frustrating after all the time I put into getting my legendary to be held up by a bugged event.
Poxy, this event has been bugged on more than just 2 servers, its been bugged in every server since launch, only a few servers have gotten very lucky early on and gotten this chain complete. But as you know unless there is a 24/7 coverage, the temple will get attacked and be taken over. At which point it starts over and if it bugs then we are out of luck until servers get reset.
I have been waitting for the last 3 days to get a response since this is the only thing preventing me from getting my legendary as well.
I understand that fixing/coding this event to work flawlessly will require time but until then servers should be reset regularly (twice a week at the very minimum) to allow players to access not only this bugged event but also several bugged skill points and other events.
Or better yet, make the shards available through a NPC or possible allow that npc to spawn via an item(purchased through the gem store) Ill gladly shell out an extra $10 to be able to finally achieve my legendary.
3 months of mindless farming and now i have to wait for a bug to be fixed. this is just great.
Last weekend the Event got stuck always at the same place. About half way up the steps to the Temple, from memory there is a small statue, pillar or something like that there. We were able to get the group part of the way up from there by pulling mobs close to them from up the steps, they would run up to kill the thing(s) then run back at about twice normal speed to where they were stuck. At the time I did think that if the morale bar very slowly went down with time so the Event would fail. I don’t know how but at some point the Event did reset after getting stuck though.
Sometimes, over several weeks, I have noticed the Southern force stuck on the way to the Rally Point. I found them standing in the direction of Triumph Plaza instead of Hunter’s Table.
I read somewhere that someone who had that problem of the pact force getting stuck was able to pull the champ giant event mob to the pact force killing them for an Event Failed. Worth trying although I suppose you can’t pull him as far as the steps to the temple?
You can unbug them there using some sort of pull technique and they will bug soon after again. We shouldnt be expected to pull other events into this to make the NPCs move 10 steps forward. I understand you are looking for a work-around but trust me there is none.
I am extremely dissapointed, because 3 months of grinding and now i have been waitting for almost a week for a server reset or bugged event to be fixed.
No acknowlegement from the devs that they are working on this and they are not even willing to reset the server twice a week.
Still bugged on Borlis Pass as of last night. It says that the southern pact has reached the rally point, but now the Northern pact won’t leave the beach area. And yet, a “rally point” star icon shows up on the map, one of the goal signs that shows up in those “guard X on its way to Y” dynamic events. But there’s nobody on the route there.
Just want shards, AND I want to be able to actually finally finish this event!
Temple of Balthazar (Devona’s Rest) still bugged south won’t move even close to rally point killed them with Giant so many times to reset and still….. Been reading thread and theres still no response from anyone from Anet. Please resolve this problem thats been going on on all servers for maybe a month now
Extremely disappointed. Been bugged for awhile now and A-net has never bothered to fix this. Should atleast be able to buy obsidian shards at ANY god event. This is very embarrassing.
So I’d be glad if this would be fixed once I got my karma. Thanks!
