Guild Wars 2

Very pleased to report that I completed this today. Didn’t do anything different so I assume the patch this morning fixed it up.

Pekk followed down the hill. I missed a couple of the dialogues at the top of the hill such as Trahearne bragging about being a soldier and the Asura saying “we’re gonna make it”, but other than that went nice and smooth.

I’ve done this now half a dozen times since the patch. I’ve gone slow, I’ve cleared the caves first on a couple of runs, I’ve killed the mini-boss first on other runs.

What I have seen consistently is that Pekk does not follow us down the hill at all. The rogue blip you see on the minimap outside of the cave is him. As he actually gets a bit of dialogue “The dig should be just around the corner” I assume he’s supposed to be there.

After accepting the escort and the risen spawn (presumably when the bone door is spawned) Inja, Zrii and Dobbs all run back to the camp and don’t move. Dobbs appears to have his weapon out in a state of aggro.

Afanen holds a position just outside of the camp and will always run back to that if you aggro mobs onto her and cause her to fight.

Enclosed a screenie showing what I’ve described on the minimap… and the other screenie… lets just call it frustration….

Hi Jeff,

I’m sure this is infuriating for you as well. I/we do appreciate the effort for working on this and I do have friends that have completed this quest (and have come along with me and be boggled why I can’t) which is doubly frustrating.

I’m enclosing a screenie. I’ve spoken to all the NPCs, you can see that some researchers have followed me down to the bone wall at the bottom of the minimap. Further up you can see dobbs is the one kind of in the middle, then the Sylvari Crusader (forgotten her name, sorry) is the next one up, and finally the remainder are grouped at the top.

Sorry to report this is still broken as of 0830 GMT

Trahearne, Kekt, Hekja, Inkblood and Amphebe followed me in the last stage without a problem. Krewe Leader Dobbs makes it about half way and stands still (possibly with his foot caught in a rock).

All risen in the caves are killed (or rekilled). Trahearne was next to me when I spoke to the researcher.

When you accept the escort I have a risen or two spawn behind me, all the researchers run and attack it, but after it is defeated they return to their place and refuse to move.
