Guild Wars 2

So, I’ve got an elementalist. The difficulty was dialed up in the first beta; I died so frequently and often (didn’t even make it into Maguuma) that I rolled a necromancer instead. Even my guardian friends are having trouble. I just tried again, and I’m dying again and again as an elementalist.

Am I doing something wrong? Because it’s incredibly discouraging not being able to play the new content when the playstyle that works fine in the base game is blowing me up into tiny pieces. I don’t mind challenging, but I’d hoped it’d been scaled back a bit for this beta weekend (and eventual release).

I rarely use the forums, so apologies if this is already being discussed or posted in the wrong place.

Cannons were interactable for me.

On the other hand, Mouth of Zhaitan had invulnerability buff which did NOT go away when I hit him with fire rocks during the vortex.

I ran to the very end of the airship as soon as I got on it, and apparently that makes the cannons interactable, though the NPCs won’t help you kill things (spam cannons, die, retry, spam, die, retry.. you’ll get there).

I now got to the point where, as quoted above, the Mouth of Zhaitan doesn’t get damaged, despite hitting him with fire rocks during his vortex attack. Are you supposed to hurl rocks the whole fight, or is he supposed to be killable after a certain amount of rocks?

Maybe I can find a group to try again later. For now, I need a break.

This issue has been reported for weeks now and still no official response on a timeline to repair.

As others have pointed out, we did acknowledge the issue in a different thread and have been working to resolve it for several weeks now. I’ve also been posting in other threads on Reddit, but I can’t be everywhere all the time, try as I might.

The issue was fixed in this morning’s patch. Let us know if you encounter any issues. The turrets and anvil should all be interactive now, and the story step should no longer be blocked from completion.

Thanks much.

I’m glad you’re trying, but I’ve now run this twice since installing the patch and got stuck in the same place. I can’t make the cannons work, the airship just idles in front of the giants while nothing happens.

I’m doing it solo. No idea why some people can complete it and some can’t. :/

And I’m stuck again in the same place. Nothing’s attacking, but I’m on an airship that’s not moving with cannons that I can’t interact with.

Am I doing something wrong? Arghhhh.

Now you can play my friends. they fixed it

Have you successfully completed it? Has anyone?

(For the record, the anvil works.)
