Guild Wars 2

This happened to me. I jumped in to help someone who was doing the personal story Arah and no one could use the cannons. So it’s pretty much undoable now.

Same here. Cannons won’t work in Arah. =(

Same here.

First time, couldn’t interact with cannos.
Second time, giants doing nothing.

Anet… COME ON! fast..

Same here.
Please fix it quickly Arenanet

Having the same issue. Attempted twice.

Same here. How can this not be fixed after several days?

Having the same issue on my Char Ranger. I hope they fix it soon.

Add +1 to those impacted by this…

I’ve been having the same problem.

Also having the same problem, very frustrating.

Some more communication about whether the bug will be fixed soon would be nice….

Tried it today and its still bugged

They’re currently discussing whether or not it’s a problem.

Ditto, its really annoying, especially after going through the first part of the quest and then not being able to do anything :/

Has happened to me too. Tried twice but the cannons still won’t work. ArenaNet please fix it. I really want to finish my story mission.

Just on this part now and had the same issue

Stuck on this as well. Does anyone know if you keep re-trying will it eventually work? I can’t interact with the cannons at all.

Same for me as well.

I tried this 4 times today, with and without a group. VERY annoying that I cannot do the personal storyline.

This is my first time play GW2. Also,it is my first character get lv.80. I had a same problem about cannons can not use on Victory or Death’s storyline.

This is happening to me as well. Looks like the cannons are bugged?

same here. disappointing to say the very least. Anet must be more preoccupied with counting their money from pre-orders rather than fixing their existing game.

Guildies also reported they cannot continue Victory or Death due to the cannon bug at the beginning.

once i get on the boat i can not use anvil for repair or the cannon to continue on the quest

please help >.>

same here this is really, really annoying

Still broken, tried 3 times :<

I just went through this mission again to see if it’s still a problem… Yep! Still stuck on my first playthrough of the main story due to not being able to interact with the cannons. Should be a priority fix imo.

Please fix this Arena Net.

Same issue for me, I can not interact with the Cannons on the Ship. I hope they fix this soon, they have been “working” on the Hall of Monument bug for what 6 months?:

Guess what? Victory and death is still bugged.

Hello Guild Wars 2 forum and Arena.net

Today (02/08/2015) me and a few of my guild members wanted to go through Arah Story mode to finish my personal story. I have a lvl 80 Charr Warrior, my first and only character, but all of my party members were experienced players, all on lvl 80 characters. We knew that there were a few well-known bugs in this instance, like the one with the Chopper not moving and blocking progress. But when we went through the first part of the instance and arrived at the airship, things got buggy.

For example:

• The repair anvil on the airship was not usable (could’nt interact)
• When a necromancer in my party attempted to use Well of Blood or other wells, the skills went on cooldown but no effect was visible. No graphic/animation of the well on the terrain, no damage, nothing at all.
• The turrets, which the party is supposed to use to deflect the giant attacks, were not interactable. On mouse over, a cog instead of the mouse cursor appears and the turret lights up, as if it was an interactable asset.

This is mostly all that we observed while in the instance. We did try a few things to fix it, but none of them worked.

We tried:

• Reloging everyone
• Opening the instance again via a diffrent party member
• Restarting the whole instance multiple times

Thank you for reading, hope this gets fixed soon.

Agreed there were problems throughout the story, like dying at the wrong time made it so your group would vanish, making some tougher enemies impossible to kill, but you could restart the level to fix that. Victory or Death however, is completely broken.

I completed the solo player instance about two days after it was first added to the game. There were no problems then with the giants, so apparently this is a recent development.

(Somewhat related, I’ve started calling this the “Play and Pray” story instance, because if you get a Err 7 during this as a solo player, you’re screwed and have to start this again all the way from the top. Guess who got disconnected during the anti-climatic Zhaitan fight the first time around?)

I was very disappointed to finally get to the final part of the story with my first character and discover it is bugged with no ETA as to a fix. Of course, the entire personal story has been a little buggy since they re-did it, as half the time I have no spoken dialogue, just subtitles. On one memorable occasion, the characters didn’t even render during dialogue, meaning I had no spoken dialogue AND no visual component, either.

Same here! I was freaking frustrating after experiencing this. It ruins everything. This needs to be fixed ASAP.

Forwarded this issue directly to the support agents.

Just attaching my picture too. I also found out that the NPCs are inactive and invisible.

I can confirm the turret bug as well. I tried to relog in and retry it but the turrets are not interactable despite the cog cursor popping up (grey)

Same problem. Please find way to fix it, it drives me crazy.

Ok tried this on two seperate characters now and both bugged. Have already done it since the change on another.

This needs to get fixed soon – i am relying on the rewards to upgrade my guild bank, and also so i can use the tomes of mentorship on more than a key toon

Add another to this bug experience.

Add a third person to this issue… or 100th, but the bug is real.

Doesn’t work for me either. I tried today with a few guild members, and then tried solo, still cannot interact with cannons. Progress stuck. Please fix!

Chalk up one more for hitting this bug. THE STRUGGLE IS REAL!

It’s been at least 4 days since this has been reported. I am surprised that we haven’t even had any updates on it. Maybe I’m not looking in the right place.

OMG.
Already have several days this problem.

yep. Me too. completely dead on the airship. Even tried to commit “suicide” by jumping off the boat to see if the NPC’s would move. I came back to the ship and got a sympathy rez from Zolja….but no cannons, no giants, no progress. Tried to re-log and do it again; same issue. Oddly or not, when I re-logged, I came back dead; similar to when you re-log between fractals. Looks like this issue has been in the que for awhile. Hope we get it fixed up soon.

Having this problem as well. ANet plserino fixerino.
