Guild Wars 2

Server: Piken Square
Event: Save the merchants from the Bloody Buccaneer kidnappers

When I passed through the Vindar’s Lagoon area on my first character this event seemed to be continually bugged. That was back in September and now, in November, as I repeat the various events and personal story steps in this area on a new character the same event is still pretty much continually bugged (not to mention the area being continually infested with bots as well). I reported it using /support back then and I’ve done the same second time around but I don’t think I’ve ever passed through this area and found the event in a working state.

It’s also bugged on Gunnar’s Hold – 2 merchants left, nothing ever happens, and can’t interact with the already captured NPCs in cages.

Encountered this bug on Whiteside Ridge yesterday, the kidnappers just keeping running by and are invulnerable, and like drkn said the NPCs in cages can’t be interacted with.

Anyone? This bug is still going on on Whiteside Ridge. How many things in Bloodtide Coast are bugged? -.-

On Maguuma – I’ve never seen this work usefully. Tried several times the past two months. Tried again today. Can kill kidnappers before they reach pirate area, but I’ve never had them drop anything useful (a key perhaps)? And stuck at 2 merchants remaining / Merchants rescued: 2/11. Can’t interact with merchants. killing pirates nearby, destroying supplies — nothing seems to have any relevance to rescuing the merchants.

That’s exactly how it is on Whiteside Ridge, it’s stuck at 2/11 merchants and there’s no way to interact with them, and the kidnappers are invulnerable.

Soo… this has been bugged in the same way on several servers for months? o.O

Like others have stated above, the count is the same every time I see it on Piken Square too, 2 merchants remaining, 2/11 rescued.

I am on Dragonbrand. Passing by this area, I saw the diving board above me so I went up the ramp that leads by the ship. Many buccaneers passed by, invulnerable (well, it was the same one over and over…) I was able to fight and kill non-moving buccaneers. Reaching the top, I was unable to save any of the merchants, despite being prompted by an onscreen message that it was an option in order to complete an event.

Once more broken on Piken Square today. 1 remaining, 2/11 rescued so it has changed since last time checked. Reported it again.

Still bugged on Darkhaven.

In fact, I’ve never seen it not bugged.

Another bug in Bloodtide Coast. Please take a look at the area.

I have been playing this game since the day it came out and I have yet to ever find this event to not be bugged. It would be very nice if it could be fixed so I could see what happens.

The event is still bugged in Gunnar’s Hold.
Today the event was stuck with 3 merchants remaining and the kidnappers were running around randomly.
I searched the area and found 2 of the remaining merchants dead in the water near the dive spot, but there was no way to resurrect them and the event could not be completed.

Still bugged… And it has been since release I think. Either remove the event, or fix it.

Tarnished Coast – still bugged. Has been bugged since launch. Agree with above poster(s) for the want of removal for this event. Not only is it bugged and preventing completion, the npc’s have the Determined buff and are immune to damage. Very dangerous area to find yourself.

Still bugged 1 year later.
