Zidious.6527 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 The story step implies you can use the Heart of the Obscure to "Scan for Rifts" just as we did in SotO, however using the Scan for Rifts action does not do anything. Maps are currently just running around blindly looking for the purple rifts that mark the spots. Relogging does not fix the issue. I do not know if this affects the 2nd map as I am not there yet (assuming it also has rifts) and I do not know if completing this part of the story step fixes the issue once it's over. If anyone else can confirm these things, might be helpful for them to know. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince T.3475 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 (edited) Same issue here. I've read hints that you'd have to look for T2 or T3 rifts, at least 4 of them Edited August 20 by vince T.3475 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcaneChaos.9467 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 can confirm, need to track T2 or T3 for it to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squeegee.4320 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 How did this get released? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donari.5237 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 I looked in Known Issues, looks like after a map's had some rifts open they stop spawning. So maybe finding a fresh map will help. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malikoth.8470 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 2 minutes ago, squeegee.4320 said: How did this get released? Easy answer. Time crunch. They did the best they could, and couldn't quite get everything ironed out in time. Really sad, IMO, because visually and thematically, I'm only hearing positive chatter about the expansion. But I've never seen this many bugs on launch day from ArenaNet... 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albione.3894 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Just got blocked by this one myself. Can't scan for any rifts at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarcShriek.5829 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 This is stopping my story progress as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonpsyke.8912 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 (edited) Same here. Edit after first patch after launch: Was able to search for 2 rifts and complete them to progress. Edited August 21 by neonpsyke.8912 The game was patched Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Calaway.9718 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 You can find them visually, purple bubble, they're on the west side of the map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oneiroid.9245 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 both my partner and i are having this problem as well. the egg won't track anything, although stumbling upon someone else's t2 rift by chance made some progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donari.5237 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 I was lucky enough to find a squad in LFG that was doing T2's and the queue to get in to that map was short. I had bought myself some t2 motivations but they worked no better for me before the queue popped, so I think it is the map rather than the tier.

Tsakhi.8124 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 I took a break from this, it's infuriating. The Heart should show you as it did in SotO; you shouldn't have to guess where the bloody things are. It's slowing my progress down to a crawl and it's disheartening. I have spent several hours on this. I'm either stupid af or unlucky or both.

Caitybee.3614 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Having the same issue with T1 rifts not popping up when scanning for them. What's worse; T2 is fine but you need enough players for them so people are running up and starting them immediately before others arrive which has lead to many many failures. I cannot progress and will have to wait until tomorrow night to continue. I hope they patch this by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sevil Natas.5739 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Im having the same issue. It has completely stalled the game for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
englishrose.8350 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 (edited) Same thing here. It is incredibly hard to find any rifts on Lowland Shores and one of the few rifts I did find can't "Draw out the target". I watched a bunch of ppl head to the marker where the Rift/Boss should spawn, but nothing appeared over several min. It's really is like hitting a brick wall. Can't move forward on the story :( Edited August 21 by englishrose.8350 more detail and spelling xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanmlg.2169 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Same problem here.. i thought it was because i didnt buy SOTO so i bought it... but it seems that it was just a bug... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witch of Doom.5739 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Same issue. Cannot progress in story. Bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
englishrose.8350 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 So apparently, the T2 rift I came across that said "Draw out the target", you need to have Rift Motivations to draw out the boss. How do you get these? Crafting is one way, however you need to have achievements from SOTO in order to craft some of these. or They can be bought from the Trading Post. This still doesn't help with the scan function that works perfectly fine on Janthir Syntri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynder.2509 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 So T2 does work, right? Gotta craft some motivations then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Out.5732 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 i could not find T1 and T2 - only T3 scan worked... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
englishrose.8350 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Personally, I can't say if the scan works on any of the rift levels. I have not seen it work at all. The few rifts I have come across have been by accident or luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
