Guild Wars 2

Bugged for me as well. Same deal. Can’t interact with the cannons.

Yeah, I’m having the exact same problems.

Realy now? Still nothing? This has been going on for 3 days and still nothing happening of fixing this bug? Sigh tried again today with a guildie of mine, guess what… No use for cannons or the anvil part of story.

Please have this fixed.

Still broken. Tried another toon earlier today.

It’s still bugged. Hoping it will be fixed soon.

Same problem here too.

I am also having this problem.

You’re not the only one, this was my 9th time trying to see if the bug has been fixed meaning I have went in nine times and have been stuck at the giants firing their attacks with the cannons not turning on. Now a new issue I am seeing is that the giants are just standing there as if clueless on what too do, I’ll attach a photo below so you can see what I’m now looking at. I left the portal and now I see a large group of people saying the same thing, I placed in a bug report with image a day ago.

I had the same problem last night and made a thread about it.

Adding my voice to the list that has tried the broken story… I think maybe 6 times now. Cannons broken, Anvil broken, NPCs say one line and one line only. Giants throw crap. Also, has anyone noticed AOE effects don’t work on the airship (small one)?

Yeah, cannons and anvil not working for me as well.

Still broken just tried to 2-character it and we ran into the issue of being unable to use the cannons to reflect the giants attacks. Totally stymied us – our mesmer reflects seemed to work on giants attacks but they fell short quite often. Running full reflects on two mesmers it would probably still take forever.

Broken forums are broken.

I am having the exact same thing happening to my personal story as well.

yup experiencing the same thing just spent 3 hours redoing it over again and again

Arah story mode is broken. When you get to the giants/cannons part, none of them are usable and you cannot progress.

Also, in dialogue cutscenes the audio keeps randomly cutting out, mostly with Trahearne, but I’ve noticed it happen with other characters as well. Pretty annoying because you can’t rewatch cutscenes.

But I really want to finish Arah so my characters can naturally progress to my Living Story missions. Please fix this stuff ASAP. It’s really breaking immersion and my enjoyment of the game.

I am having the audio bugs during my personal story missions too. It randomly wont say one line and then the next line will be fine. It only seems to be in dialogue cutscenes. I have submitted a bug report.

Cannons unusable for me as well.

cannons unusable for me also

same here! been trying for a few days now… stuck so close to the end :P

Same issue here unfortunately

Same problem here. Cannot interact with anything in the instance.

Same issue here.

Same problem. The guns on the airship aren’t interactible. I’ve started playing again since more then a year.. thinking to just finish my last quest. Bugged. For 4 days already now.

Adding my voice to notify that the bug is still around. Couldn’t use the canons in a party of two. Please fix soon!
(Also, the dialogue cuts out from time to time throughout the Arah story. Not as halting as this bug, but still worth a mention)

I have come upon this problem on tuesday after patch.
Don’t know if it was there before, but currently I am unable to finish the LS on my alt, and start season 2 for the carapace armor rewards I need to finish my luminescent set.
This is very frustrating.
I have not seen any comment from ANet on this so far.

ANet: we know you guys are busy, but this is a character progression issue. It should have priority on the bug squashing list.

Attempted to run it last night with some guild members. Cannons wouldn’t work.

same problem as the others , cant interract with the cannons…..

I just tried it again 10 min ago cannons are still not working for the solo Arah part.

From another forum:

“The second you get on the airship, run to the cannons and stay there. It happened to me twice and this worked. It looks like nothing happens until the captain of the ship talks, and she won’t talk if you’re near her, and you’re not near her if you’re in the back talking to Destiny’s Edge about how sad they are that Logan, a guy who can literally teleport, was left behind.”

Still broken. I have attempted four times doing the suggested “run to the cannons” method mentioned above, and it is not working for me.

That prevents the giants from freezing, which is another bug. But it doesn’t fix the cannons.

They have now acknowledged the (cannon) bug here:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Personal-Story-Restoration-update/page/7#post5337291

No ETA though.

At least we know they know…

Confirmed. Unfreezes giants but does not fix cannons. Instead, you will die from a hefty amount of falling damage.

Can’t interact with the cannons. When i tried reflects with class abilities, they didn’t seem to hit the giants. I tried again with a friend, once again stuck at the giants

Bumping post. Did all stories last night, stopped on VoD. Just ran it to cannons; still not interactable. Ran to each starboard side cannon and nothing. Giants attacked and voice overs with captain are just fine but cannons are not. Now we play the waiting game.

During the airship phase after the cinematic where Logan sacrifices himself to let the airship cast off when you’re supposed to block the incoming projectiles from the giants using the turrets, I am unable to interact with the turrets at all and this is my 4th time trying to get past this certain stage. I’ve tried interacting with the turrets in many different ways but to no avail. Need help in this, doing it on a sylvari warrior.

Edit: The repair anvil is also un interactable.

Edit: Even tried using the Shield Master adept trait to try and reflect projectiles without using turrets with a mace and shield. Tells how desperate I am..

I just ran into this same bug. The turrets cannot be interacted with. Also, Destiny’s Edge just hangs out in the back of the ship without helping unless you kite one of the zombies inside, but I don’t know if that’s normal since I’ve never been this far in the personal story before.

Also ran into this bug. Retried mission 5 times and every time, I could not progress past the giants. Already tired of doing the tedious Arah story mode for every character and now this.

I couldn’t interact with the cannons, and sometimes the giants wouldn’t do anything as well (quest log didn’t change from “watch out for orrian forces” to “defend the airship from giants”).

Just ran into this as well. Me and a guildie decided to finally finish the story now that it’s not a dungeon. We tried it twice, hoping it would fix itself before I thought to check if anyone else was having a problem. The first time it was the general ’can’t interact with anything’ including the cannons and the anvils. The second time however, the crew’s dialog about the giants never played (the last one to talk was Rytlock about Logan’s sacrifice) and then the music changed but the giants just stood there with nothing happening (obviously, no cannons again). Here’s hoping that they fix this soon, really wanted to complete the story finally.

Same problem. Cannons don’t work!!

I’ve been having the bugged cannons problem today as well. Very frustrating.

Finally decided to finish the Victory or Death story on my Necromancer and I’ve come across a bug with the cannons on the airship. During the phase where you have to attack the giants with the airship cannons, I can’t seem to interact at all with the cannons. The mobs continue to spawn and no matter how many times I kill them, nothing happens. I’ve tried restarting the story and I’ve also tried with a party but with no prevail. Does anyone know how to fix this bug?

same here on both voice and canons

Same here…. Arena pls fix that.

Having this problem. Ran to cannons quickly, but can’t interact with them or the anvil. The giants are active and throwing their goop, and some lesser enemies repeatedly spawn, but progress is impossible.

I’d rate a universal progress block like this an 11/10 on the bug importance scale, so please fix it soon.

Seeing the same issue in a party of two. Got to the giants, could not interact with the cannons or the anvil. Attempted to die, waypoint back, run to the front of the ship, and it was all the same result.
