Overlord RainyDay.2084 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Time: About11pm ET on May 11, 2018Zone: Sandswept IslesBug: The Subject S quest chain appears to have gotten stuck in between "Escort Subject S to Safety" and "Defeat all the Laboratory Security Golems". Subject S and the test subjects are just standing outside the Tunnel Access Delta PoI and have been for over two hours now. The security golem model is standing in front of them, but it is not targetable, and can not be interacted with. To my knowledge, this event chain is not tied to either of the map's metas, so it's not being held up by them. I also checked that the first event "Free Subject S by Destroying the Shield Generators" wasn't up. The test subject who starts the chain seems to still be locked in his cell and has been for over two hours, presumably because Subject S is already loose. I did not actually see the event become stuck, it wasn't working when I got into the map, with other players complaining about it in map chat. I did investigate and attempt to kickstart the event by getting nearby neutral mobs to attack the skritt and also by applying buffs to them, (I've sometimes seen those help move stuck events along) but there was no effect. I tried to get nearby creatures to kill the test subjects in hopes of having them respawn, but I can only get one hermit crab to hold aggro and it doesn't deal nearly enough damage to kill even one of the test subjects.I was unable to confirm if the issue existed on other maps. I've rarely seen Sandswept Isles have an overflow map, so finding another map to switch to is difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esoliken.7543 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 I have been waiting for this event to spawn all day today, and its not. This event is completely broken and I can't complete Redeeming: IG-whatever. This is frustrating since I have tried for several weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyuuketsuki.2675 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 It is still bugged. I've been trying to get this event done for Redeeming IG-6417 for 4 days. At times I've spent even an hour trying to see if the Subject S would move but nothing. It is still the same as the screenshot posted by Esoliken. Please Anet, fix this!!! Oh, and before I forget, I keep getting in same map over and over, the last number of the map IP is 61:0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly this is not a solution, but it is a work-around that got me my Subject S and, thus, backpack. Until ANet fix the underlying issue, hopefully this is sufficient.

The good news is every patch brings a new reset, so a new chance. The bad news is, whatever causes these stalls is apparently quite difficult to find and/or fix, so they can persist for vastly longer than I would have expected.

The Motherfuhrer.6798 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 July 9th 2018 and I still face this bug, subject S is sitting outside with his posse of skritts as if mocking me and my quest to get the backpack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsy.9021 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 July 29, 2018 and I made the mistake of trying to complete the back piece now of all times. Escort Subject S still bugged, sitting outside with his posse still as Motherfurer.6798 explained. Now if I can just complete Serpent's Ire (only completed once the first week when Sandswept Isles came out) For the love of God its been months, fix this bug please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leadwing.6871 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Still bugged for me as well. the only way to get it to spawn is to get a new map but you need a lot of people for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's specifically in the transition from the security golem battle to finishing the chain, that should narrow it down a bit more for somebody trying to fix this.

(or just look for me online tomorrow since I will be one of the two main commanders through the entire event) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penarddun.6827 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I've been checking back every day and each map I go to has Subject S standing in his bubble in front of a non-attackable golem. sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zydra.5470 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 great job bug fixing team. It has been almost 4 months and the bug is still there. Can't make the back piece, what a waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as there's a workaround (in this case, waiting until a patch and the map is reset), no matter how obnoxious that workaround is to use, it's going to be on the back burner.

Khisanth.2948 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I seem the same on my current map. Except Subject S has only 10 stacks of Enhanced instead of 20 but like in the screen shot the other skritts are not around. They are somehow both dead and alive.

Image.8630 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Yeah! the map changed and Subject S finally unfroze. I got the recording. Yeah! I just hope S doesn't get stuck again... poor thing getting frozen after being rescued. He has no luck ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woljnir.7810 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Guess what. It's stuck again. Exact same as before, just standing there in front of a golem. Glad it worked for two whole days, too bad I just got the recording quest today. I can't turn anything else in until I finish the rescue line.

ThaFrizby.1468 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I'm guessing we'll have to wait another 4 months for this to be fixed again eh Anet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Image.8630 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Aww no :(((( I more or less guessed that it unfroze cause the map finally changed. It had been stuck on the same map 182 for at least 2 weeks. So keep checking if map changes chances are its gonna unlock till it freezes again. Good luck with that.

Zola.6197 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Hello, this bug is still a problem on map IP 227. Everyday for the last week or two Subject S has been locked in place with a golem outside PoI Tunnel Access Delta. Very sad because I will not be able to finish the collection until it is fixed.
