Yup. It is working as intended. During the split holograph phase, I got knocked far back by the Static Hologram’s blast wave attack, followed by another hit by the AFK cannon near the portal exit a second later, nullifying the chance for the achievement.
Good job implementing the cannons on the platform.
It’s too bad that I already got the “No More Tricks” achievement anyway, but this combo attack is a concern for those that hasn’t got the achievement yet.
Actually, the Vigil Megalaser did its purpose as usual, but since that new content release on Tuesday, the Megalaser doesn’t animate after successfully defending it and the batteries.
The animation where the Megalaser aims at Tequatl in the sky and fires doesn’t play, so it looks like Tequatl gets shot from the sky by an invisible force.
Getting a new local.dat file will not work, since the map has been removed from the game content. The game client is trying to load a map that doesn’t exist in the data file anymore, thus causing the error.
Your best chance is contacting support and hope your character can be relocated, or wait until the map returns on a future content release.
A fix is obviously ideal, but, as I mentioned in my earlier post, it would be very nice to know if this might be considered an exploit in the meantime.
Calling it an exploit is not precise, since there is no advantage to the outcome. You either lose one of the chest, and the group will struggle to quickly DPS the bugged Tequatl against a short running time, potentially losing the Dragon Chest as well.
Don’t do events in Blackgate’s Caledon Forest until next game update. This zone is experiencing multiple connection lag and disconnects, and you risk losing event contribution and chest rewards.
I’d suggest guesting on another server’s Caledon Forest until this issue is resolved.
Update: The connection and lag issue in this zone has been fixed since the last new build went online.
Do you have the server time when this was accomplished? I’ve been tracking GW2 API which unfortunately does not track overflow.
Out of 51 servers, Blackgate and Vabbi were the only servers that activated the three wurm events since the new build came out yesterday. Blackgate succeed in killing all wurms in that same hour (7 PM server time, and another at 9 PM). I was not able to find out when Vabbi killed their wurms after that night though.
After the 2nd megalaser/battery phase, we burned Tequatl to 25% so hard that he lifted up into the air immediately, but then the 3rd battery phase never started. The Megalaser is wealthy and there were no Veteran Risen Abomination that one-shot it.
However, the timer was still running (with 5 minutes to spare) and the in-the-air Tequatl’s armored scale effect continued to stack. Luckily we were able to DPS where Tequatl’s supposed to be while occasionally destroying the bone walls every minute until we defeated him.
We only left without a Rare (yellow) chest. I have not seen this bug occurred in this situation, and I’m wondering if this is going to happen every time we burn Tequatl too fast at every 25% of the health bar.
We had a mass group of +30 player escorting the 7 moas from start to the spawn location of the Champion Toxic Wurm, and all seven of the moas promptly disappeared as well as the dynamic event.
No event contribution was awarded, no achievement unlocked, and the GW2 API says “Success”, so I wonder what is up with that.
I’ve been escorting the ogres in Postern Ward for a few times now while attacking the Toxic Alliance. Minutes later the ogre event just disappeared and no event contribution granted, and I’m wondering what is up with that.
This zone has suffered a horrendous lag during The Shatterer. It has caused people to disconnect multiple times and loss of an event chest. Please reset this zone if possible.
This is one of the things that’s keeping the game from getting a perfect 3D Vision rating. So far there’s no reply nor acknowledgement about this bug since I last created this thread.
On Yak’s Bend, we only had a mere 7-9 players that took down Taidha Covington with about 1-2 minutes left on the timer, so I wondered if today’s patch fixed the overscaled HP of Taidha Covington.
Before, we needed about +30 players to actually make a dent on her. But now with just several players we were able to take her down.
I tried to waypoint to Bloodtide Coast as the new build update occurred. I was instead exited to the login screen for the update. After I rejoined, I was still in Queensdale, and I lost about 1s 50c coin.
We revived the NPCs after taking down the two Foulbear Kraal leaders, but the next event to destroy the huts and camps in Foulbear Kraal never started. Apparently, one of the revived NPCs decided to attack the ogres and died again. At this point the meta event halted after reviving them again. This occurred on Blackgate.
We have never completed Ogre Wars event since the new content/build update came out.
This isn’t anything new. Happens anywhere you find Veteran+ Risen Acolytes and with enough players around.
It wasn’t the boomers from Veteran Risen Acolytes. Elite and Champion Risen Plague Carriers spawned independently. But during that instance their name tags did not appear.
My guess is that a Champion did immediate chained explosion attacks, completely avoiding to render on screen or make any sounds at all, and they can explode more than once until their HP is gone.
I think their animation should change so they drop their carcass rather than disappearing after exploding.
During Temple of Lyssa, several players were instantly downed and then dead seconds later by what seems to be nothing on screen. There were no indications, no green smoke and no “charge up” sounds from a Risen. It’s just plop instant-down.
Upon checking the log I was killed by Unknown for 43,342 by Explode. The problem here is that they did not render on screen at all. I have not experienced this “silent” kill until the Origin of Madness content came out.
I used one stack of Nutrient and it did absorb one of the drool attacks from the wurm. About five “Invulnerable” words popped up when hit by a single drool projectile.
This effect is extremely useful if you’re trying to keep your 25 stacks from the sigils.
Thanks for the quick response. It’s gonna be a hassle trying to find any spawned nutrients among the zerg of players in the swamp, as well dealing with the Parasite effect that may be active.
I’m getting fed up with the Wurm’s Drool attacks which spams about 2700 dmg 5 times in one hit, instantly downing players (and removing all stacks), and I wonder if there’s a trick to elude this annoying attack.
