Guild Wars 2

Hi devs, I reported this in game a couple days ago, now going to try it here as best I can and in greater detail.

I am on the quest of the personal story line where I have chosen to take over Zhaitan’s navy and use it against him. (sorry, at work here and can’t rememeber the actual quest step name) I begin the quest and it seems to work fine until the first cut-scene where I am sailing into position. The NPC’s have a dialogue that only partially plays (though the whole dialogue did play on one attempt). But, this isn’t the real trouble.

The main problem is that I get into position to begin my attack on the shore. I can fire my cannons and kill any troops and the two giants pretty easily. I can destroy the bone walls also. The trebs do not render as destroyed but I can apparently do damage to them and enough damage will trigger the oozes to start coming into the ship and the quest updates to tell me to go below and help Merri.

I run below and as soon as I reach the bottom of the stairs, I somehow get teleported back onto the main deck of the ship. I can aggro the oozes by running down below so I am actually below deck briefly and then I kill them all over the main deck because they will chase me up the stairs and onto the upper deck. I can revive Merri through the main deck which…you know…I probably shouldn’t be able to do. I can pick up the balls of goo left from the ooze corpses and I try to run below deck and make it to one of the holes to plug it. Before I can even get close to one of the leaks, I get teleported back to the main deck. I cannot plug the holes through the main deck. I have tried jumping overboard with the goo to try and plug the holes from the exterior and I likewise get teleported back to the main deck. I have tried jumping into the lower hold also thinking that there may be an area that gets detected as “over board” but this also doesn’t work.

This is making it impossible to get past the quest. I have tried several times for the past couple of days to no avail. I hope someone sees this and can get it fixed.

In case others are having this problem, a different post from a dev has detailed that this quest is getting patched on 10/1/12.

In other news, players are reporting that jumping does work possibly. Gotta be quick with those plugs though! I will try it again tonight and post back if it works for me.
