Guild Wars 2

The first round of World Bosses did not visibly spawn in the world at all on Maguuma. We had large groups of people standing around…. when we discovered some sort of invisible mob under ground.

At Tequatl, he never spawned, but we noticed the NPCs killing something underground. We hit the invisible mob until it ‘died’ and then Tequatl appeared for a second, did its death animation, and no event/credit/chest was given.

Right now we’re killing “shadow behemoth” the same way. It never spawned, but there is something stuck in the ground.

Edit: After 10 minutes or so of meleeing the invisible npc with Shadow Behemoth’s screaming and shrieking playing in the background, he showed up just to instantly die. No credit, no chest, no meta change, no quest.

10 Minutes later, the real preevent for SB started and he actually spawned. So if your boss is glitched, try killing invisible glitched npc? :/

heres an ss for invis/underground target at shadow behemoth

we killed the invis mob at shadow behemoth, he spawned and instantly died. no quest reward nor chest.
on maguuma server if thats relevant

behemoth actually spawned about 5-10min right after this bugged happened and i heard someone say teq also spawned just a little earlier, so possibly its a 1 time bug.

Sure enough, Shatterer, same bug. We killed it and it showed the death animation, but for some reason this did not reset it. We killed it around 15 times, causing 15 or so death animations. At around the 5th time, the pre-event finally started. When we completed the pre-event, the boss finally spawned for real.

The boss completed as usual, but there was still an invisible npc in the ground. We hit it until it died again, and it replayed the Shatterer death animation.

The invisible whatever is STILL in the ground. Not sure if we unglitched it or not.

This problem appears to be specific to Maguuma Server.
