Guild Wars 2

The champion Oakheart event seems to be holding it up — but even the Oakheart itself isn’t up.

Something may have happened to the NPCs prior to the Oakheart spawning, causing the event to stall and blocking the swamp meta event.

Just wanted to say thanks for enabling background music in Cursed Shore in the new Living World content.

Before the update, the zone was void with any music unless you’re in combat or in certain meta events.

Now stalled on Anvil Rock server.

I found out that at the start of the event to defend the Pact team as they search Zho’qafa Catacombs for artifacts, one or more NPCs got attacked and went down before they could start moving into the catacomb. They stay stalled at the entrance after getting revived.

It is broken again on Blackgate, about 30 minutes ago after today’s game update.

It rarely happens. If Sister Brenda stalls on a server for unknown reason prior to activation of the swamp, centaurs will no longer attack and Champion Rotting Ancient Oakheart will no longer respawn.

Oh boy, looks like they’re at it again. 2 hours now.

8:30 hours now.

5:50 hours and still going? What a terrible server.

Anyone mind finishing events from Eye of Zhaitan at Zho’qafa Catacombs on Blackgate server? Thanks.

Edit: Event has been completed. Thanks for the help.

Same thing happened to the Aetheric Interruptor. The Interruptor looked like it started with 10-15% health, but once a monster hits it, the Interruptor goes to full health.

This probably happened on the June 25 patch, the same day the outline rendering on players/NPCs doesn’t work properly with Post-Processing enabled.

There is a total of 80 skritt chest locations in Tyria. Although they appear randomly, each of them are in a fixed location.

Currently, contributed players discovered 59 of them so far: Guild Wars 2 Wiki: Skritt Burglar

The spider behaviors were silently changed in the June patch. No word if this was intentional or not.

Now it’s a 502 error.

My speculation is that one of the GW2 servers has a zone with a bugged Temple of Melandru event, where the escort event to the first beacon never starts, even if the NPCs are alive.

It happened to Blackgate from May 29 to 30, until the next game update rolled in.

Just do what all the LA botters do: Prefix your message with 4 random letters, followed by a dash, space, and the main message.

Yeah, it’s stupid, but it’s the only way to announce events when Southsun Cove was big.

If I remember, you weren’t really supposed to directly attack the gate, but rather destroy the cannons while the ship blows the gate with its own cannons.

The outline of characters on post-processing effect is no longer working as intended since the June 25 update.

I’ve disabled it so I can at least see the bosses’ movements without seeing all the white bloom all over the boss.

Opened on Blackgate as of 9:12 PM server time.

Still opened on Blackgate. Recently defended as of 9:24 PM server time.

Update: closed.

I think the Pet Rock should have eyes glued on them.

This is an unannounced or undocumented change since the June patch, which changed the behavior of the spiders.

I want to hear a reply from ANet devs about this change, because I don’t know if this change is actually intended.

lol… Putting a timer is not going to fix it. That will encourage people to repeat the whole Gates of Arah events for loots and karma prior to the Champion Risen Giant rather than making the giant chest and City of Arah available.

People are going to finish the event, regardless that a few are trying to farm.

Boomers can be killed in seconds if players can spot them, while taking down Veteran Risen Acolytes is also priority.

Since the new game content updates, this is still an issue.

NeoAkkuN.7081:

It gets bugged when there are monsters still attacking Historian Vermoth after you kill the Priestess. Yes you can let the Historian tank because his hp never reaches 0. But when Priestess dies, Historian becomes vulnerable, so when risen are still attacking him after defeating priestess and historian’s hp reaches zero, he dies and it makes the event bugged sooooo make sure no one is attacking historian before you kill the priestess

Historian Vermoth would take a last hit after succeeding Defeat the Risen Priestess of Dwayna event, causing him to say “Retreat!” and disappear using cloak, stalling the whole chain event on the server instance until the game resets.

He’s supposed to go up to the dormant Statue of Dwayna, which would make Malchor appear, cry out to Dwayna, and disappear to continue the events.

The bug is similar to The Maw events where Scholar Brogun could die between events (which is fixed on the February 2013 update).

Currently as of now, no servers has the stalled event. I can post back hours later if a few servers has the stalled event.

I’m still unable to see outlines of allies or foes when my view is moving as of today’s game updates.

None are opened at the moment.

You’ll need a party to fight the Risen Covington Captain three times to get the Campaign Against Taidha Covington going.

Don’t forget to post if you’re on NA servers or EU servers.

Game Bugs: Temple of Dwayna – Malchor not appearing

It was broken on 50% of the GW2 servers. All servers had reset since today’s update, but take caution that the bug is still producible.

It’s wonderful. It must be a activated feature that just took effect last night.

The fight never felt so epic.

If he was paper then what is he now? Dust?

Cardboard. Can withstand several AoE attacks more than paper. :P

Zones can reset due to unexpected glitch or circumstances. It’s like a portion of the server had crashed.

I was once in a middle of a Shatterer pre-event when all of a sudden the game client froze; but not just me alone — the game frozed for everyone in the zone. After force exit and relogin into Blazeridge Steppes, the Shatterer pre-event disappeared, meaning a whole 3-hour wait until it’s up again.

There’s also few threads in the Bugs section of the forum, reporting that the nodes and saplings were getting shuffled around in Malchor’s Leap zone, or bugged Temple of Dwayna events getting unbugged — both reset and remarking all events “inactive” without a server-wide maintenance or game update. Forum’s search function is broken so it would take hundred flips of pages to find the thread.

These are nothing about blocking boss events though, but the explanation of why Blazeridge Steppes’ reset can delay the time of Shatterer events until they actually begin.

Thaumanova Reactor is different, where Fire Elemental events can be delayed by Veteran boss events staying up for hours.

Thanks for all the insights. I went in during the non-griefing hour block (this morning) where the JP was nearly empty with non-hostile invaders and got both chests.

I’ve looted about over 3000 boss chests already since launch and never got a single precursor.

Someone did managed to get Zap from the Risen mobs during cleansing of Temple of Grenth, back when Keeper Jonez was paper.

Blazeridge Steppes zone in your server may had crashed and reset. That may explain why the Shatterer timer are way off on GW2 timer websites.

Or the zone instance may have shutdown when all players left it until the first player enters, bringing up the new zone instance. I’m not entirely sure if this mechanic is true though.

I’m having the same issue, where the circles are not easily seen in this dungeon instance. Even from the thumbnail screenshot above I can’t make out the farther circles.

NPC Researcher Darrin seems to say that everytime Claw of Jormag is stunned, even in the last phase. Perhaps a new line is needed. lol

About 2 hours ago, mass group of people and I were attacking the possessed Statue of Dwayna. It was at about 30% HP when my PC suddenly turned off for no reason (rarely happens so I’m surprised it happened this month).

Upon relogging back to Malchor’s Leap, I was not rewarded the Glorious Chest nor the Daily Chest. So I figured I can try again 2 hours later when the chain event is active again.

Groups of people and I took down Statue of Dwayna few minutes ago. I got gold contribution for the event, but no chest appeared!

If I was still in the game when my PC shut down, wasn’t there supposed to be both Glorious Chest and Daily Chest for me to click on when I log back in? How can the game know I haven’t received the chest the first time? Is there something that can be done with this?

The Ogre Wars meta event is missing in Tarnished Coast. The status of the event is not on the UI when in Bloodgorge Watch camp.

Game Bugs: Temple of Dwayna – Malchor not appearing

One of the Zho’qafa Catacombs events where players defend Warmaster Leddron and his team is stuck on Blackgate server. They are currently seen standing at the entrance to Zho’qafa Catacombs, but nothing else is attacking them to make them progress.

I’m not entirely sure how or why this happened, but it’s one of the bugs that stalled the whole event chain. So far, they are seen standing around for 18 hours.

Game Bugs: Temple of Dwayna – Malchor not appearing

Serves the Nightmare Tree right for sending endless spawns of easily-aggressive spiders on players since the June game update.

That prop is the crash debris from the See the Pact crash survivors safely to Meddler’s Summit event, which usually gets stuck, thus leaving the crash debris there.
