ep 4.3 bug. Forearmed is forewarned is broken


Recommended Posts

  • Didn't get the update from the queens, logged out and back in.
  • When I logged back in it took me directly to the Taimi conversation, but with no story marker on the map afterwards. (My spouse got the queen text and the Taimi update.)
  • I went to her location in Amnoon to see if Taimi was there, but she wasn't there any more.
  • Went back to Desert Highlands, was disconnected.
  • When I got back into the game and went to the Tomb of the Primeval Kings again, it triggered the story marker to appear.
  • I stepped into the portal, and was sent to Lion's Arch instead of the story instance. (This is where most of the people on our LA map came from, it seems.)

Hope you can get this fixed soon with a minimum of hassle, I've worked in web development before so I know how much bugs like this suck to deal with in emergency situations.

Can someone tell me what dialogue I missed with the two Queens?

Since it was bugging out earlier, it stalled, and now it skipped to the next step and I don't know what happened and what ghost army my character is talking about to Taimi.

Edit: Nevermind. Replayed it on another char to see what I missed. Only to be stalled on the next mission: "Forearmed is Forewarned." Loading, nothing happens, getting sent back to the Desert Highlands.

I couldn't see the marker after speaking with the queens. I realized it was because something like 100 people were hovering around it with their tags turned on (Commander or Mentor - both). It so cluttered the area that you couldn't see the green marker. Why they are doing this, I have no idea.

Except when I got into the instance, I soon got disconnected. Now, I don't, but I end up in LA instead of in the instance. Fun :)

As I posted in the main thread:

We wanted to let you know we’re working on several bug fixes that we will be rolling out later this afternoon or early evening. While these will address many issues, we’ll continue to work on addressing bugs until all are corrected.

In the meantime, we have implemented a redirect. Players who are attempting to load into the “Forearmed is Forewarned” story instance will be automatically redirected to Desert Highlands so that they can avoid the disconnection issue. The redirect, of course, will be removed as soon as it no longer is needed.

Is there an update on the story.

PS do we need to Praise Joko to get it to work? XD

It's redirecting me to Lion's Arch

Cross-posting from the main Connection/Log-in Issue thread:

We have another update on the connectivity issues: We still are hoping to have another hotfix this evening that will address some issues and may potentially resolve the issue blocking story progress at "Forearmed is Forewarned" as well. This particular bug is unique to our Live environment and did not appear in any of our pre-Live testing. We appreciate your continued patience as we take the time to investigate the issue. We’ll update you when we have further information.

First, I want to say that I am not a dev, nor do I have programming expertise, so this is just my personal opinion: Judging from the error message I got when I was moving from one core Tyria map to another, I believe that the fix the team is working on would address general disconnection problems and not solely those involving Episode 3. But again, that's my guess. Quite honestly I don't want to take dev time asking about it, since team members working on this are very focused on getting things fixed.

I wonder if this is related to the issues so many people were having with The Departed story instance? Would be interesting to see if their fix resolves some of the issues with that that I'm still having to this day. Here's to hoping for the best in anycase. Thanks for the updates.
