Guild Wars 2

For the “Sunrise I: The Experimental Daysword” Legendary Collection, the event to receive the Hawke Liberator trophy is bugged. One of the villagers won’t leave the area no matter what I do, but has the dialog options as if she has already escaped. Since the only other event that rewards that trophy is the precursor event to this one, it is impossible to get. Do events reset at any specific time that I can jump into to get this?

yes, this is a very frequent bugged event. Your best bet is to go to this map either right after a patch or during peak guild mission times (the couple hours after reset saturday night in the US for example) when a race is on this map and maps are being created and destroyed as guilds jump around maps.
