8. Into the Obscure story step stuck [Merged]

[Carlos.5840]

Next week it should be fixed as A-Net told some days ago

• Players are not able to advance the Story of the Expansion as Kamilla does not provide the Motivational Items needed to progress the story. Players will need to either craft a new motivation, or obtain one from the trading post. For the latest update, please check our forums here. 
  • UPDATE: A fix for this is scheduled for our November 28th, 2023 release.

• Updated Chapter 8: Into the Obscure to require completion of any Kryptis rift tier instead of being limited to tiers 2 or 3.
• Fixed an issue that could block players from progressing if they started Chapter 8: Into the Obscure for the first time, accepted Kamilla's uncommon Kryptis motivation, swapped to other Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure story chapters, and then swapped back to Chapter 8 and reached that story step again. Players who were in this blocked state can interact with Kamilla to continue progressing through the story.

Just tested it and my one blocked character is now unblocked.

Unfortunately I just tested it and it didn't fix anything for me.  Kamilla doesn't give the motivation and doing any Rift event just gives me normal rewards.  The story step is still stuck.

I have restarted chapter 8. And I have reached chapter 13 all in a row.

Thanks to the entire team for the effort.

Thank you so much! 🥰

Okay actually just saw someone say that you can buy an uncommon kryptis motivation from the TP. Might be a temporary work around until anet fixes the bug.

Try buying at trading post. With the November 28 build it finally worked for me!

Ty Anet!!!

Time to revive this thread.

I used the soulbound tier 2 motivation you get from the hunters, stumbled right into a tier 2 rift near the Bastion of the Obscure and completed it. Nothing.

No biggie, I thought, since I had a tier 3 motivation in my pocket. Let's make some lemonade and get that "Going the Extra Mile" achievement! I activate it, and a little bit of scanning later I find a tier 3 rift, tag up and close the rift with a few random players hungry for loot. But still: nothing. And as an added bonus I didn't get the "Going the Extra Mile" achievement either.

The mission text is still telling me to scan for rifts while the Heart is enhanced. Which I have now done twice. Once for tier2 and once for tier 3.

So, yeah, this one is sill/again broken. Story progress blocked successfully.

"Going the Extra Mile" is exactly what I feared would break when they made the change. I wonder if it is broken broken, or it is just because none of the rifts are counting for you.

Had you run this step before the change as well, or is this the first time?

I've brought one character through the story before, but having only one character to do stuff in Nayos got boring, so I wanted to follow with a couple more (and complete the achievements I had left out while I'm at it). Back then I had no problem with the tier 2 rift counting, but now I am wondering if my other chars will also get stuck on this step leaving me with a whole lot of effort for nothing.

Tried doing T2 or T3 in any map of weekly schedule (not a SotO map)? I do not know if this will fix it as i never encountered this bug but you can try

[Locce.8405]

I doubt that would do anything since the mission makes it quite clear that it's about Amnytas. For now I am playing through the story with another character as fast as my utterly destroyed motivation allows to see if the bug strikes again at that step.

I have a bought TP motivation in my inventory and I am stuck on the 'scan for rifts while heart is enlarged' part. I have done all the tricks in the book, buying from the TP, cancelling story and reprogressing back through; nothing works. It's broken, again, and making it very difficult to progress for the casual player.
