Frozen Out is still broken, plus has no checkpoints.


Recommended Posts

First off, against the ice beast I got knocked over mid dodge

I got stunned and none of the stunbreaks worked.

Even one time I got stunned and my stunbreaks went on cooldown together with my other skills

If that was not enough, from that moment on, I had to play with my character tilting, very disorienting.

 

 

(this was stunned from knock over, not incased in ice)

 

And when I finally killed the ice beast... Disconnected

I have to do this horrible instance again.

 

It is a long, grinding instance where you are VERY likely to disconnect after slaying the ice beast.

And it has... ZERO checkpoints

 

I cannot wrap my head around why I have to do it from the very start. It makes no sense to me.

 

I am currently so frustrated that I have to replay it again, knowing it is bugged, knowing it has both disconnect and combat issues...That I am starting to wonder if it is worth the effort to begin with.

 

PLEASE arenanet... PLEASE place checkpoints and please look at the issues

I don't think it's a situation of "very likely."  Some people have this issue, others don't, I don't know what their difference is, but I know that the ones that have this issue have it happen EVERY time.  My spouse still never has original credit for completing this instance because of this bug.

Isn't there a brazier/firepit you can interact with at the beginning of the instance that warps you straight to the boss fight? (will update when I go check)

 

Edit: Just checked the instance, there is an un-named slightly sparkling brazier to the right as you load into the instance that you can interact with that brings you straight to the fight 🙂

You're my hero on this front, doesn't fix the bug though.

I just did it didnt use the brazier but after the small cutscene it i got dced but when i reloged i got my reward, this is still very frustrating, the amount of stories i keep getting dced on is pilling up i had to repeat that 1 where u protect aurene from destroyers 10 times or more cuz of constant dcs, is this type of frustration also carrying to end of dragons if you guys keep this up thats it for me im dropping it here, and i know no one cares, but i assume i aint the only one feeling this way, i mean these constant dcs are no way to keep playing the game.... seriously....

I see the Brazier, but do not see it sparkle, nor can I interact with it.

I guess I am going to have to redo it... for a 3rd time

 


Magik Dude might be right, but if he is I think a shortcut might be finding a player who HAS done this successfully before and join their instance to skip that slog.

yeah it is broken. And also it depends on account. I have 2 accounts - one where i already done this LW long time ago - and i didn't get crash. Second account is a first time doing story. And there is a crash. After doing it in less 5 min and dodge all attacks. so yeah


Question: Does the crash happen consistently at the same point every time, and is it at the very moment that the cutscene should begin?  Because that's my spouse's issue.

I think that in lieu of actually fixing this they need to move the Bonus Event achievement credit up to the moment where you kill the Ice Beast, and perhaps move the entirety of the story mission's credit up to that point as well.

Thank you for this post.  I didn't know that was a thing.  I kept redoing the whole instance trying to get the Stay Unfrosty achievement and was about to give up on it.   Then I ran across this thread.  Your post helped me a ton since I learned I could skip straight to the fight.  I finally got it.   😀

Update from another thread in regards to a similar bug: try setting your Streaming option (Options > General Options> Streaming > Content Streaming (it's toward the very bottom of the list)) to max.  Going to have my spouse try this later, see if it doesn't help.  Will report back if we succeed at the instance.

Just did it, we got my spouse's account through the instance twice with no crash at all, this seems to work!  Got them credit for the first time ever!

After reading everyone's comments, I was successful in completing Frozen Out after 5 attempts by doing the following. Thanks everyone for the suggestions. They helped a lot.

  1. I changed my graphic setting to best performance: F11>Graphic Options>Advanced Settings>Setting Preset: Best Performance.
  2. I changed my streaming options as instructed by @Endilbiach.4132. Thank you so much for the instructions.
  3. I completed the fight in less than 5 mins and got the Beasts Slain Quick achieve on my success attempt at the episode. This also happened to @Misa Maja Twista.6703. Thanks for the heads up about the achieve too.
