If the story steps were truly impossible, no one would be in those zones. Not sure what story steps you think are so hard, but if your’e on a US server, I can help you get to those zones.

The very first step of one path ends just takes me in circles. From one mushroom to another and back. Can not even find the hideout, much less trying to solve the puzzles. Also the final boss with Aurene is impossible. The white circles need to be 2-3 times as big as they are and that monster should not have any way to get its health back. At least I did get to Lake Doric, but the 2 zones that go with the above 2 stories are off limits to me. I’m on a US server.

I’ll be happy to contact you in game and get you through those missions.

I won’t have much time for the game until next weekend. Will mostly just be getting dailies and a world boss or 2 until then.

Danikat.8537:

I’m not sure which video you’re referring to, since there’s at least 11 different walkthroughs for this chapter already, but if one said you need perfect timing to get up to the White Mantle hideout then I suggest finding a different one because that’s definitely not the case.

But alternatively try this:
1) Jump on the first bouncing mushroom you come to. That will send you north and you’ll land right by another mushroom.
2) Jump on that one and then mash the jump button until your glider opens. When it does turn left and glide across to the waterfall.
3) Land on the ledge next to a 3rd mushroom. Jump on it.
4) That will take you up to a big ledge with a spider and beyond it a plank leading up to a pipe. Run up the plank, around the pipe and up another plank.
5) On your right, at the back of the ledge is another plank leading up onto the flat section of the pipe. Go up there and then into the cave.

That helped a lot but i’m stuck again and I think it may be a bug. I need to kill the 3rd shard but it’s behind a locked door and I have no clue what to do. The wiki said the was supposed to be dialogue there, but i did not hear it. It also said something about a book, but I have no clue what it is or how to get it.

zoomborg.9462:

As i remember correctly there is a token u can buy with unbound magic that is account bound and can teleport any of your characters to the respective map without story. I already have these for Bloodstone Fen, Ember Bay and Lake Doric, havent looked into the rest.

Still not doing me any good since it seems you have to have the zones unlocked on the account. I can’t get them unlocked with any character I have because of all the jumping and gliding.

Sorry about double post.

The youtube video just showed me why I’m going to consider leaving this game for good. It takes split second perfect timing and lots of luck to do these living story steps and not everyone has perfect hand and eye coordination to do this content. And if you miss 1 time it’s back to the start. They need to so 2 things. Open the zones without having to do LS3 content and or putting a straight forward optional way to do this content. The HOT story line is the same way. I have gone as far as I can because I do not have the perfect coordination this game now takes.

Baldrick.8967:

Try changing your pve build.

And some of the story challenges are a breeze for certain classes and extremely difficult for others, especially first time through if you don’t know to bring endless condi cleanse or what gimmick you are fighting against.

Changing builds does nothing against those stupid puzzles and impossible to get to story steps. When I’m fighting, things actually go well.

If LS3 is the future for this game I’m probably gone. It takes someone with a 4 year degree in college to play this now.

This last episode is trash. Can not even get to the bandit hideout. This game is going in the WRONG direction.

We need an option to get to the new zones without having to do any of the story steps. There are 3 zones I will never get to see because of the impossible story steps and no one willing to help with them.

The skill you need to use with Aurene against the final boss is locked and can not be used. That boss does not take 1 hitpoint of damage either.

Swagger.1459:

It’s only $30 for HoT… this game has zero monthly access fee… geez…

It’s 2017 peeps… anet has 400 employees to feed… taxes to pay… a game to produce… and for a mere $30 you get unlimited access to a really great game… Like what do some of you really expect?

I left Guilds Wars 2 when HOT came out because I could not really afford it. I tried 3-4 other games and have read lots of things about another 3-4. None of the ones I played are nearly as fun as this game is and the ones I only read about did not look good either. I finally was able to get HOT about 2 weeks ago at $30 and do not regret it and have been playing the game every day since. The HOT maps are harder and the Revenant is kind of tough to start, but it’s been worth the price I paid for it. $30 is not bad at all for the new content the expansion brought to the game.

I’d say players are fairly unfriendly on the HOT maps. And will not really help with anything.

Khisanth.2948:

Which part? Most of it should be pretty straightforward. The last part you need to glide. You might have to use the gliding skills if you don’t have advanced gliding yet.

I have no clue where to go after the first 2 jumps. Ruka simply dissapears and have no time to figure out where he is before I am dead. The green dot is very close by but I can’t reach it. I think this part may be bugged with him being unreachedable at the point. Meaning that this story step can’t be completed now.

How do you follow Ruka to get away from Faolain. I have jumped everywhere with no success. And am being killed with 1 shot.

Randulf.7614:

Wiki suggests a buy now button should appear next to the episode in the journal

“Episodes of the Living World must be unlocked in order to play them. Unlocked episodes can be accessed by any level 80 character on your account. There are two methods for unlocking episodes. Episodes can be unlocked for free simply by logging in to any character during the episode’s original release window. This lasts until the next episode is released; for Season 3 (current season), episodes are on a cadence to be released two to three months apart. After the release window, players can unlock the episode for 200 Gems. The journal will indicate this with a “lock” icon and a “Buy Now” button."

I’d be more helpful, but having them unlocked due to logins, means I can’t actually see them in the gemstore to direct you accurately.

Thanks. That info helped me a lot. Getting them now.

Randulf.7614:

I believe you purchase them in game via the gemstore with gems bought with money or in game gold (press O in game to pull it up)

Looked 2 times. They are not there.

I just got Heart of Thorns 2 weeks ago and started the living story, but I only have the current episode. I can not find any way to get the earlier ones. A box popped up telling me to purchase them but I can’t a way to anywhere on the site.

Narrrz.7532:

did you do the defense or assault in the previous story instance? if you did the assault, you need to collect (and then use) the warbler that tizlak gives you.

If you stayed to defend the village, you’ll be looking for ordinary frogs – and iirc, the first one you find is in an area that has multiple different height levels. Try looking in a lower-down layer.

Thank you. I’m already through now though since someone ingame told me I needed to use the warbler again once I got into the green circle. I had assumed that you needed it only once.

I can not find the scouts. I have looked everywhere in the green circle and they are simply not there.

Pressing M will show you the number of waypoints, hero points, points of interest and hearts that are on each map and how many of them you have completed. Putting your mouse cursor over each of them will highlight the ones you have not found yet if you have explored the part of the map they are in. Your compass should also point to something you haven’t did yet or to an area of the map you have not explored yet.

I’m glad I haven’t bought HOT yet. It’s probably going to be a lot like this with impossible to reach, much less tag the events in it on every map.

It’s almost impossible to get event credit as it stands. In many cases they are over before I’m even reaching them. I think some of the enemies could stand getting about 5-10 times the hitpoints so they would last longer. They could also cut the map cap down to maybe 50 or less while those events are up.

It’s nothing like it could have been. There are tons of restrictions for a free account. Not a whole lot should change. The biggest I think is that they do not get daily log in rewards.

I had that problem a few days ago, I kept walking around and after 3-4 minutes it finally moved ahead. I’m not sure, but I’m guessing there is a very small spot you need to stand to get this part to trigger and it is not very easy to find.

RoseofGilead.8907:

Did you target Aerin before trying to use the sun crystal skill? If I try to hit him without him being targeted beforehand, the attack will miss.

And yeah, you HAVE to type in a title to submit a bug report.

Yep there is a chance they aren’t targeting him before using the crystal. I had the same problem before someone on here told me about having to do that. I have had no trouble since.

I had the same problem since yesterday morning, but it is fixed now. I’m using chrome to post this.

I always get credit for the fire elemental with my mesmer no matter how many are there and it may be because I never get near that platform. I did have issues getting credit when I stayed near it. I’m not sure how they could change the FE, but it does need to worked on. 10-20 seconds is too fast for a world boss to go down. SB could stand 1 change and that is by moving the damage spot during the battle. It would move to wherever the last of the 13 portals went down each time.

RoseofGilead.8907:

You’re not on the spot. See the little Down Arrow on the green star? Go to the waypoint you already have unlocked there (Hidden Depths Waypoint), and then go down until you see the star.

Thank you.

I see the marker on the map to enter the labyrinth, but when i get to the spot, nothing is there.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Trading-Post-with-IIS7-screen-Fixed/first#post4464181

A fix was posted here. Hopefully it helps.

Alternatively, just rightclick an item in your inventory/collectible tab and select sell/buy more on trading post. That should open the tp ui.

That worked for me and thanks for the tip. I’m not too enthused about messing with my temp files.

Yep this useless screen for tp. And folks in game think I’m lying when i mentioned it. Saying I should be blocked.

The last step in this is bugged. The mirror does not break when Tegwen looks into it so mission can not end.

All I see is a page full of random numbers on first link and a blank page for second.

Paul Belz.7351:

Hey there!

You may be missing a part of the puzzle here. Perhaps you’re not talking to Anise after all… Check around and see if you can figure out what is going on.

Normally I would be more detailed but I don’t want to spoil anything so early.

That threw me too, but I did find Anise. I Won’t say where either though.

My dailies reset tonight and I’m able to get bonus chests at world bosses and craft the time gated ascended items. Hopefully it’ll stay fixed for me.

Just got this tonight. No world boss bonuses or ascended crafting possible. also daily started with 4 of them done.

This looks as if it’s finally fixed. The Frostgorge chain went perfectly after latest update.

Maybe in a week or so after they finally instance it.

This latest patch did nothing really. Still bugged. Gonna have to instance this.

This isnt going to be easy to fix i’m afraid. Almost certainly not tonight. I’m really thinking now that anet may have to instance this to make it work

They may have to redo this entire update to get this fixed. As in making everything instanced. I see a rollback and a 1 week wait coming.

I’m afraid it may be a while before we can really play this again . The guy can not stand wildstar and will just keep on hitting it until he’s caught. And hitting wildstar takes GW2 down too.

Looks like this new hacker is determined to shut this game down. The FBI needs to nail him fast.

I finally got this done with another player helping out. The arrow cart part turned out to be fairly easy after I found it, but the boss was tough. Actually the boss itself was easy, but keeping it’s shield down was rough even with 2 of us.

chewienl.9804:

after you enter the fort, hug the left wall and go up in the back over the rooftops to find an arrowcart

I have looked for that arrow cart and can not find it. Enemies come at me way to quickly.

After doing this 7 times I finally managed to get to eastern gate only to run into at least 12-15 enemies and died in seconds. NPC’s said something about siege engines but I never saw them. All this trouble and haven’t even saw the boss yet.

Yeah this is really nice. I have really enjoyed this map so far and it does look great.

Maximus.8376:

Make sure you have Aerin targeted and then use the sun aspect skill. You character will then dash into him.

You’ll dash through him if you don’t have him targeted.

I finally figured out about targeting him on my own with the aspect skill and that did make things much faster and easier.

By the way exactly how do you use the crystal to break the shield? It’s taking me up to 10 minutes to do it on the 2nd part of the fight and I’m not even aware of what I’m doing when it does break.
