Without HOPE..

Im on IV at the part where Im supposed to kill https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Defeat_the_giant_branded_devourer but when I am in the area I have the indicator that it is spawned, yet it doesnt show on map its location nor do I find it at all when walking around. Is this a known bug? Should I keep waiting?

As mentioned in this other thread, it is a long standing problem that has been reported countless times.

Make sure to use the /bug command in-game and report it to bring more attention to it.

yeesh that bug sucked. my advice is to wait for a new build. when the pres reset there's a chance they won't hang and patches create new map instances. just don't let the npc you follow die ever. or the giant devourer during the escort. I seem to remember most of the hanging issues come from rezzing the giant devourer and then nothing knows what to do.

and then hope you get lucky and the bug you describe in op doesn't affect you.

ah yeah i did the long even chain, but at the end i was the only player left and i had to make a choice to follow the devourer n the npc or the 10 sentinel party.. sadly i followed the latter and the npc guy died and the devo bugged out.. sigh

If it is bugged out, do not spend your time waiting. Events never unbug.

Instead, leave the map and return at another time, preferably shortly after reset. Changing your represented guild or guesting to another server may help here. You need to get into a fresh map where the event isn't bugged.

Park a toon nearby. Logon whenever you have a gap in your schedule. You're hoping to ride the wave off a newly-spawned map, which hasn't had time to bug out the event. Eventually, that will happen.

Hi!I had the same problem with Hope. Then I read Wiki carefully:

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/HOPE_IV:_The_Catalyst-Notes:The Branded Devourer Ichor can also be obtained by the Giant Branded Devourer in Fields of Ruin as an alternative due to the frequency of the original event bugging out.

Have fun and good luck.

Probably the worst parts of the entire boring long quest.I had to cooperate with other players to share the spawn and wait for the server to reload.

If you don't see the event probably the escort is bugged, and good luck with that!

It seems to be a recurring theme with Legendary crafting; being at the right place, at the right time, on the right server, and hope you complete the quest ... or it's all for naught.Good luck in the future!

The Fields of Ruin event has been broken for around 2? months. It was around the same time when the Thaumanova fractal boss broke due to a fix in code somewhere else. The fractal boss got fixed since there is at least one person responsible for fractals but I guess there isn't anyone responsible for core Tyria events.

I get my hope months ago and was bugged since then.

What would Bo do?

Wait, that's Days of Our Lives. :/
