Tuna Bandit.3786 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Twice, yes twice I did the instance just to disconnect right before engaging the final boss. Why... why are there no checkpoints? Why do I have to play this long instance completely from the start? Sorry, I love the game, but that this instance, where you are often teleported, has no checkpoints... that is beyond amateuristic. Going in for 3rd (and i so HOPE) the last time. This is unbelievable. There are plenty of opportunities to put in checkpoints... one of the most annoying instances in this season 2 and most prone to disconnects. Please... consider fixing this for future players to spare them the frustration I am currently experiencing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Bah...I disconnected at the final boss which was at 40%. I am not fond of this 'mission'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gummoz.7493 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 (edited) Got the same disconnections at the final boss. A bit disappointed..Had the same issues back to the time these story chapters were just released, nothing seems to have been improved since those times Edited June 8, 2021 by Gummoz.7493 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuna Bandit.3786 Posted June 8, 2021 Author Share Posted June 8, 2021 It took me 3 tries. I never EVER hope to have to play that instance EVER again. This cannot be me, this has to be the instance. And every single time you need to start from the very beginning. Bleh. Now Tracking the Aspect Master shows the same issue. Disconnect 3 times already after defeating the Terragrif. I ams eriously starting to wonder if this achievement is worth this frustration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neighto.7386 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Word to the wise... If you fail it once due to a disconnect, you may get the bug where it will fail on repeated attempts. Log completely out of the game and then back in again before you attempt it a 2nd time. It's bit of a pain, but it saves on the headache of d/c's in the middle of missions. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Ferret.6342 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Agreed. I consider this chapter one of the worst bits of video gaming I've ever been forced to experience. The mechanics are ridiculous, and being forced to do it multiple times because of repeated disconnects is beyond annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerinndis.2730 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I did the instance with a party and had one member who has disconnected nearly every time when entering for the final boss. I did the instance at first with only him and it happened. Later I did it with others and him in the party and he disconnected when entering that final area again. I will let him know to make sure to log out and back in if it happens again to see if that helps him. The final boss also is very buggy. He has a tendency to spawn the death circles on top of the fragility buff so you cannot get them at all. I ended up running him around until they disappeared and tried again but it took several tries before we could get into another phase so we could complete. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really care about the meta event rewards, so I'm moving onto something that works and is enjoyable. Good luck folks! I hope EoD is fun 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerinndis.2730 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Folks are wanting to get these done because of the ultimate rewards such as the gen 3 precursor choice, the 32 slot bag and the legendary amulet. I remember this particular instance being vexing. For those who still want the story achievements I really feel their pain as those are a pain to get. At least for these Bonus Events we just have to get through this instance. The next set won't be much fun either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only point this out because the meaning of emojis and how they're used is a hot discussion in another thread. I came back to explain so you wouldn't feel I was mocking your frustration.

I kept thinking as I ran thou it that it was so refreshing with some cool mechanics again and not just hit stuff until it dies. I really liked Season 2 😧 Sad to hear you did not enjoy it 😞 But on a positive note. Season 3 soon 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually like large parts of S2 and S3 ... well, and all the stories, really. Just that one particular chapter - while beautifully presented - drives me maaaaaaaaaaaad! See you in S3!

StormyFae.2761 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 OK, just to get this straight: If you bug out during the boss fight (distorted facet of darkness) do you have to go back all the way to the beginning of of episode 5 "The Ghosts of Fort Salma?" Even we have all checked off except for Hidden Arcana? I ask because I had the last facet down to 19% and the game reset. (Yeah I know there was a countdown but I thought 40 minutes was surely long enough. LOL.) So now when I go to Hidden Arcana the star is purple and when I enter it says "This is not your active story. Any progress will not be saved." So where do I start from to get the achievement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjr.8241 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I hate this hidden arcana mission. I have a couple accounts and am up to running this thing 6 times so far. I had to run it twice on 1 account, as it dc'd after the final boss fight. Now on the next account I am up to 4 times as it keeps dc'ing in the middle of Kas and Jory's end chat after beating the final boss. This would not be super bad if you could skip all the inane blather they talk in this mission but you have to repeat all of it. The fights don't take long after doing them a few times but since there are 4 parts and endless yapping this is really getting annoying. Other of these lw missions do this as well and always after the last fight. Up until now it was always 2 times at most but this one is getting to the point of saying f this event.

MitchJane.6495 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Played this mission twice now unsuccessfully with the disconnects. Mission is wayyy too long to redo for fun, please fix this, I don't trust the server enough to try a third time hearing all of this. Is there anyone who has finished it?

Markgov.2138 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Have you guys tried deleting the gamecache folder in Appdata? I find that doing this every time I before I play gw2 helps me avoid most crashes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm less charitable with the entire design of these missions .. I suspect it was deliberately designed to do it to maximise the annoyance, becuase I see no other explanaition why this 'bug' should ever have existed, the progammer could and should have ensured this couldn't happen. Hint: check where the shields are located and don't drop the boss' crap there! Edited June 17, 2021 by Kraggy.4169 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Lana.2506 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 While I personally haven't had any bugs during the instance (though I don't doubt that others have), I find it extremely long and tedious. +1 to it needing checkpoints at the very least, and reducing the times a mechanic is needed to have been done to progress would be ideal.

Just after commenting about it as a bug, I finally managed to get the color buff and the fragile at the same time. Not the immunity. The purpose of the buff isn't immunity, in contrast to earlier steps, but to remove the knockback. A critical element of execution is running around to spread the damage areas so that you actually have a chance of picking up fragility reliably quick.

Tuna Bandit.3786 Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 It eventually worked. I think 3 tries for me from memory. I do remember that the mayority of my friends and guild members had the exact same issues. I very much doubt it's player side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
