Each and every time I have gone to do the VoD Personal Story recently it has bugged out.
The instance always stops at the Risen Giants, they are stuck in the T-pose action which bugs the entire instance.

I’m having a similar bug at the risen giants, they do their stuff and attack but i cant interact with or use the cannons to fight back. Managed to eventually kill them using class based reflects but after that i couldn’t interact with the helicopter so cant progress further.
Edit: second try I figured my client may have been messed up, the bug is still there but I was also dragged out of the ship because it was moving, as if I was clipping on the air
Yep, having the same issues. Either the giants don’t respond, usually no scripted text from the captain of the airship just prior is an indication that its bugged.
When I restarted the quest (by leaving and re-entering), I did get them to be responsive, but can’t interact with the anvil or cannons on the airship.

Same here, the giants start doing their stuff but i cannot interact with the cannons at all.
Tried multiple times, staying inside the ship or outside until that part triggers makes no difference, it bugs either way.
Going back inside the ship and attempting to use the anvil…also not working.
Same problem here. I decided about 1 hour ago to try victory or death solo since I haven’t done it since the change. Got to the part in the above screenshots and I can not use the cannons. Event tells me to use cannons skills to reflect and kill giants. Tried spamming f over them and even double clicking a bunch on them. Only thing that does sometimes is make it look like my character is stuck in the air falling. Even tried jumping off the ship but ended up dead. Anvil as well didn’t work for me to repair.
Oddly enough, I had the problem less than a week ago when I did this (the giants not being responsive) with another character. When it did happen, I logged out completely and restarting the quest seemed to fix the problem.
This problem with the inability to interact with the cannons and anvil is new as of today and there doesn’t seem to be any way around it.
Problem with cannons still exists with party or solo. Can not interact with cannons or repair anvil on airship in fight with giants.
This is halting progress and completion of the Personal Story.
I also had this issue yesterday during the day and again at night with two separate groups and my computer in two separate places. If someone figures out this is fixed, please do post here with a link to where an ANet person says it’s fixed. Doing 5-10 minutes or whatever of leadin just to keep checking seems like a waste of everyone’s time.
Be whole time in deck of airship, you are here to look forward dangers for that trip. If you slack and not being whole time on the deck, captain of that airships doesn’t make her dialogue lines and story doesn’t progres, you need restart and do it correctly. Don’t mimic DE, they just slack near wp whole time and talk how logan died. You ’re a hero there.
Mem – not the case here. It is actually bugged. You can’t use the cannons at all. I’ve had the captain make her announcement both time and the battle with the giants begin, but you can’t reflect anything because the cannons do not function.

Yes I know it, had it 2 Times so I reapeted and then did it the way I said and it always worked.
I’m a returning player who got my first character to 80 and then never finished the story before I left, so now I’m trying to catch up and this bug was a huge brick wall to finally getting to do that. :(
Same here :
- 1st try : solo, got the cannon bug.
- 2nd try : solo, got the T-posed giants (and no working cannons). Might have been because I was afk a few seconds when mounting the ship and it moved before I could “watch for Orrians”.
- 3rd try : duo with someone who couldn’t do it solo (had cannon bug). Had cannon bug this time also.
Funny thing : duo’ed it 2 days ago and it worked fine.
Les Loups de Sandpoint [LdS] – Vizunah and we’re NOT recruiting ^^
Tried it solo, tried it with two and tried it with 3. Tried it with a restart. Stayed inside, went immediately to outer deck. Tried it with partner in and me out and vice versa. Tried it with me starting mission. Tried it with partner starting mission. Same bug every time. Cannons do not get to the point where interaction with them is allowed. Ship stops, you are done! Has been like this for a couple of days. Definite bug and the ball seems to be in ArenaNets court. Just keep sending in reports.

I don’t think its the same bug although it may be similar to yours. i did as you said “being whole time on the deck” for 20 min. It continues on to spawn 2 mobs at a time util i died.
So yeah, same problem here.
I have tried now 3 times, twice with party member trying to help me in my single player mission and once by myself.
All three times me/we couldn’t interact with the turrets/anvil in the airship, the giants do shoot their projectiles and other enemies attack too, also the airship crew attacks when enemies are lured near them.
But yeah, can’t do anything with the turrets, cogwheel icon is visible but there is no ‘’Press F to interact/use/anything’‘.
Also 2/3 of the runs Caithe had the objective star over her head for the whole mission, on the second run with my party member she didn’t have it, but the mission still bugged at the airship turrets.
Hope we get fix soon D: would like to finish my personal story.
I also have the “Victory or Death” cannon bug. I submitted a bug report yesterday via in-game. I hope this gets fixed soon I was really getting into doing the personal story on my Warrior. I just returned from a break and now I can’t finish it.
When doing the Ruined City of Arah Story mode and getting to part to use the cannons, it becomes impossible to use the cannons and thereby halts all progress for story mode and will not be able to continue.
When it began to do this, I do not know, as I just returned to game.
Problem with cannons still exists with party or solo. Can not interact with cannons or repair anvil on airship in fight with giants.
This is halting progress and completion of the Personal Story
Confirmed that the cannons on the Air Ship in Victory or Death – The Ruined City of Arah Story Mode has cannons that you cannot control and it is not possible to continue the personal story. See screenshot.
The first time I tried, I got on the airship and on the way to the Giants, I just… Died. Caith ressed me halfway then walked away, returning to res me after a few moments, but the airship had stopped and the story wouldn’t move.
I tried again, skipping the cutscenes and plowed my way through to the airship to make it to the giants only to be unable to actually use the cannons.
So basically, the climax of the personal story that I have ‘enjoyed’ all the way to its end is unplayable. ridiculous.
There already was a large thread regarding this problem a few weeks ago. Unfortunatly, some moderator merged all postings to a totally unrelated thread.
Btw. i had the same problems on a couple of chars 3 weeks ago and when i tried it again later (~2 weeks ago), i was able to do the quest without any further problems on 5 different chars… very strange.
There’s a moment in ‘’victory or death’’ in which you are in an airship and you are supposed to defeat 3 giants. The problem is that these giants throw me things, enemies appear (not more than 2 at the same time) but I cannot interact with the cannons, and I cannot continue with my history.
I don’t know if the guild wars team is aware of that. Thanks for any help you may give me.
Same here, tried it 5 times. In group and solo, restart, stayed on deck ran around inside too. Nothing. I really hate seeing that green swirly constantly and just want to finish this quest so I wont have to see it again for a few days.
There seem to be two versions: script gets stuck and the giants/cannons remain dormant. script works, the giants throw gunk unto the ship, the cannons have an interact cogwheel, but you cannot use them.
Hope it get’s fixed soon, I’m also stuck there. :/ (Also filed ingame bug)
It seems to be a common issue after the latest patch. It’s been reported earlier, but the past couple of days people have been reporting about this or something similar happening, for example the giants don’t do anything. Here’s one of the topics about it. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Victory-or-Death-Bug-1 Fortunately for you, since this hot, somewhat common and definitely important issue, it should draw Arenanet’s attention and might get fixed in the near future. At least I hope so.
I cannot finish my personal story because their is a glitch when on the airship. The cannons used to reflect what the giants are throwing do not work. Ive tried 4 times and they did not work once. The gear or “use” icon appears but never turns gold or gives you to option to use. Also at the same time the anvil on the ship does not work either.
I also got this bug 3 times in a row, in a 5-person party.
The 3rd time we did it we noticed that normal reflects work to reflect the projectiles the giants throw at us, and we decided that since we had a very reflect-heavy team, we would try to take down the giants with normal reflects (2 guardians and a mesmer +necro +warrior).
It took us ages, but we took down the giants by using normal reflects such as WoR and Feedback. When the giants died, the story continued, but the next step in the story is to interact with an airship/helicopter that appears at the tip of the first airship. None of us could interact with it to progress the story and we were forced to give up. We also noticed that we cannot talk to or interact with any of the NPCs aboard the first airship, as well as repairing armour at the repair station there.
1st: Solo, can’t interact with cannons or anvil
2nd: Solo, can’t interact with cannons or anvil
3rd: 2-man party. No one could interact with cannons or anvil
4th: 2-man party. We stayed inside the airship. The giants froze and did nothing.
5th: 4-man party. No one could interact with cannons or anvil
