From the Wiki age for Zaklem: "Found in the Bonus Chest after defeating the Champion Hierarch Lili in the Desert Highlands." However, after rerunning the chain it's clear that's a 'virtual' chest in that the item appeared in the loot list along with the other drops. Not sure what you experiences Praelias but for me it seemed to be a boss drop item. My second run was no different from the first, both times all three events were run back-to-back with a brief pause in between so I have no idea why the first run failed to drop the item .. but then in recent Replay events we've seen many cases of broken end rewards so I guess this is simply as subject says: "Another quest bug".

So I'm working on the griffon and am trying to get the Zaklem item which needs this chain: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/4/46/Event_shield_%28tango_icon%29.png [Group Event] Defend Second Spear Nayrim from the Awakened (80) https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/4/46/Event_shield_%28tango_icon%29.png Escort Second Spear Nayrim to potential shelter (80) https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/4/46/Event_shield_%28tango_icon%29.png [Group Event] Defend Second Spear Nayrim against Mordant Crescent and Awakened attacks (80) I did them all , one after the other, all succeeded .. but I got no quest item, another player also didn't get it. WTF? And no, the collection wasn't credited automatically.

Anyhow, it's worse than ever, SOLID problems for last 15 mins .. click to sell an item, usually the trade dialog opens, click 'Sell isntantly' and immediately get the red ERROR box! .. or else sit there for ages with the 'sell' button grated out. 1 in 25 (maybe) sales work, but the click/ERROR cycle has been constant for the last 5 minutes. Oh yes, to those above saying READ TWITTER .. nothing about it on there either 😛

... Anet, please provide an option to silence Braham's dialog, I get utterly bored listening to his self-centred, self-important and arrogant comments. Yes, he lost his mother to the Mordrem, but he's supposed to be an adult, his mother must be turning in her grave seeing him so pathetic. .. God I'd forgotten how totally pathetic he is .. then in LwS5 he becomes all self-doubting, he's entirely forgettable.

The lack of an ANet comment here speaks volumes .. and doesn't bode well for EoD's launch if one assumes player numbers will at least peak higher than they are at present.

The original was an awesome piece of world building and had huge character .. the replacement simply has no character at all IMHO. One thing that I wonder about is what players who never played through the original reacts to the main story instance where you 'stealth' through the city, I forget the mission name as it's a long time since I last played it but I definitely remember ANet hadn't remade it so you play in the old city, which of course post-destruction players never saw, so I wonder where the heck they think they are.

Indeed, the Wiki seems to have joined the BLTC in a go-slow .. many pages never load, most that do taking 30+ seconds .. sales on the BLTC often time-out but the transaction completed as I hear the sound of the mail delivery bird so .. huh? Oddly, I get regular "can't connect to login server" from in-game but have had no problems actually logging in when changing characters or accounts. [edit] BLTC for example just now .. a couple of seconds to bring up the dialog, click "Sell" and get delivery in < 5 secs .. then wait 20+ secs for the dialog to become usable again. [edit] Just got the red "Error" message, "quantity cannot be less than 1" .. after selling 3 items .. WTF?

I viewed the destruction of Lions Arch in LWS1 as the same gratuitous vandalism as Blizzard perpetrated in Cataclysm, destroying a zone with huge character and interest and replacing it by a bland 1960's type concrete desert, a zone of no character, bland and boring to explore and generally a totally forgettable area of the world. I miss the real Lions Arch and was very happy to find this video of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTcqe062dxc&list=PL9DoIQZfncBIRiewja155dYonfanEOmwA&t=15626s. I'm sure there are many clips of this lost icon location but this is the first I've seen of such length; it's a music video of 8 hours but this link takes you to the start of the section I'm interested in. This is for those who only started playing after this wonton destruction was perpetrated by Anet for absolutely no reason IMO, to the serious diminution of the game.

Kind of beggars belief that these items which have existed for literally years somehow got bugged into a state where it seems very dangerous to fix them. Anet: like simply back-out the change which you seem to have ineptly made to something that had worked for years before you fiddled with it for EoD?

Yes, I know there's bug with DELIVERY of this item: "We have temporarily disabled the ability to purchase Black Lion Instant Level 80 Tickets, as well as packages containing the item, in order to address an ongoing issue." but this isn't to do with me, I'm not trying to BUY one I HAVE one, had it for weeks, so why is mine locked-out due to this EoD launch item bug?

I just got antoher reply: "As it was mentioned previously, The store page listing the season within the list of features means that Path of Fire is required to access all the Icebrood Saga content. If you do not have Path of Fire you would be unable to participate in the Icebrood Saga Episodes despite logging in to receive the latest episode for free during the episode's free release period. Due to this, we will be unable to assist in providing any Icebrood Saga Episodes as they must be unlocked by paying the Gem Cost or logging in to receive the latest episode." which is beyond fatuous, as I then pointed out, above the Saga item is HoT, so using the asinine logic the CS rep. is using to assert MEANS, that would MEAN HoT needs PoF to play .. clearly beyond stupid. Clearly Anet want to gouge 1000 gems out of me for something I already paid for but it stinks.

I just upgraded a base-game account with the PoF Ultimate Edition because it seemed the best value for my needs: extra slot, gems for a few upgrades, etc. On this page advertising the PoF upgrades ( https://buy.guildwars2.com/store/gw2/en_IE/html/pbPage.pathoffire/themeID.4785548100 ) it clearly states for all versions: "Living World: The Icebrood Saga" This can't be read as anything other than this content is part of what you're purchasing and will playable, in the same way HoT is listed just above it. However, on my account the Saga is there but chapters 1 - 4 are locked, only Champions is playable. I opened a ticket for this and this is the reply I got: "We understand you recently have purchased Path of Fire and did not receive the Icebrood Saga. It should be noted that the expansion itself does not include the Icebrood Saga living world season. The store page listing the season within the list of features means that Path of Fire is required to access all the Icebrood Saga content. However, you will receive the latest episode for free during the episode's free release period." The part I've highlighted is absurd, no way does the list of features mean what the CS reply asserts. Does it? My ticket says: "As in Subject, I bought the Ultimate Edition of PoF which according to the store page includes: Living World: The Icebrood Saga This is in my journal but LOCKED and requiring 200 gems to unloick! It was there before I bought the upgrade. Why is it still locked?" How on earth does this CS rep come up with ""and did not receive the Icebrood Saga".?

Ah, I see them there, never thought to look in that section, can't remember seeing a note about this. Kind of confusing. Thanks.

So this is what the announcement page https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/guild-wars-2-live-summer-2021/ says about this: "The new achievements and their rewards will be available permanently, so you can always complete them even if you miss the spotlight weeks." So why on both my accounts, one I've played through every week so far and another where I received the mails and obtained the Journal chapters but didn't start them are ALL the achievements before this week's gone, meaning my second account can never play them? Just what was the quote above referring to if not the "Bonus Events" section of the Achievements page?

Simple question: why as a non-PVPer am I blocked from creating Legendaries, since Gift of Battle are only available from PVP content? [edit] Seems ANet pandered to PVPers exclusivity demands: " Prior to the Spring 2016 Quarterly Update, this item was purchasable for 500 https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/thumb/3/3b/Badge_of_Honor.png/20px-Badge_of_Honor.png Badges of Honor, but was subsequently changed to be only obtainable through the Gift of Battle Item Reward Track. "

I don't buy that theory, on both my runs I was in probably the first 10 to hit it (both skyscale and me) so hard to think it'd be that. But then again, it's hard to see how this could be broken when you get the boss rewards so clearly the game registered your part in the kill but somehow didn't tick the new achievement box. I guess programming is hard. 😛

Got it on my second run, seems those that did were in the minority of the 50+ on the run .. again after another 50 min wait, God knows how many player-hours are being wasted due to the lack of any QA on this.

Sat for 45 mins in a group of 50 .. did all events .. no credit .. another 'special week' another bugfest it seems. 😞

I really despise this kind of quest writing, if a dev thinks the reward for his wonderful quest requires me to do something 100 times TELL ME to do it 100 and drop this facile RNG-based rubbish, only a masochist can get any fin out of it!

Thread on Reddit and elsewhere reported several problems over the years, I guess your experience simply proves the point that some people don't hit problems while many others do. As a final comment, I'll recap my experience. Attempt 1: I killed all the mobs, but there was NO cog above any of the generators, none were interactable near Vopp or not. Attempt 2 (after abandoning 1): killed all the mobs, this time there WAS a cog about a generator which I was able to destroy and remove Vopp's shield and kill him. Clearly the script is broken somehow since it didn't make a generator able to be interacted with .. I spent 40 minutes the first time trying to do something, no way could I have missed the cog!

Ah, I forgot that .. I read about it way back and forgot it .. so now my count is 1 and only 9 days to go. Thanks for reminding me about that one.

I'm doing "The Collection of Tribute" achievement and am trying to do this part but Anet seem to be trolling me. According to the wiki for the Suite the items you need come from Buried Chests found using Hunting Kits .. so far I've used 18 kits and got ZERO tools. Previous gathering steps had a pitiful drop rate but 0/18 is worse than even Blizzard perpetrate in WOW on trivial content like this. There's no 'phat lewt' for completing this, so there's no reason for ANet to have made it this God-aweful. Is there a trick to this I don't know or am I being trolled hard be the dev. who designed this?

So I guess this is still a buggy mess .. I found many threads over the years with problems with this instance. I redid it and it worked fine, I did nothing different though maybe in a different order, but this time cog-wheels appeared and I was able to interact with the generators .. and eventually Vopp died. This game has so many bugged instances it's embarrasing.

How do I do that? I can't interact with anything in the whole room and nothing is targetable. What does the spanner mean over one of the generators which the video doesn't have? I logged out after 40 mins running around aimlessly so I have to re-do the whole damned thing but I need to understand what the game isn't telling me .. so many of these instances are totally devoid of any explanation of their mechanics 😞
