Anet: Elite Mission Quest Bug. Elite Mission Incomplete?
Kenagalaz
We used Tyrian Characters.
As you can see from the following two images, we began protecting the priest's ritual to open the door.
We cleared out the first two mobs that spawned, and defended the priest. However, after that, the priest didn't open the door nor did any further mobs spawn. We have been sitting here for about 30 min. We ran around the area and looked for any thing out of the ordinary, but found nothing.
I would like a private P/M from an Anet employ when they fix it.

Very nice completing the quest in all 4 areas. Very nice!

So I agree with Cyan.

Does'nt mean to say it was'nt affected by something else. Remember the bug that caused all monsters to drop loot and fight each other? That was caused by a skill update and a graphical fix. The game is massively complex so who knows what interacts with what.
Maybe after the GFX updates, the priest guy/snake is caught on some invisible wall and cant get close enough to open the door?
I'm sure it'll be fixed soon enough. Darned annoying for the people to get there tho

If this is a bug caused by an update, it would be like a butterfly flapping its wings, and causing a hurricane (see where I'm going?)
Also, from GWO from the indentical topic, since Gaile apparently loves them more than us...

Thank you for leaving a redirect, though, that's very helpful! I only hope that the email I sent to half a Dev Team doesn't send them to a dead link with the move. :undecided: |

Goooooooo ANet!

Update: After some more tries, it seems that more groups do spawn, it might have glitched just that one time... not 100% sure yet though.
However, doing this with 4 players and 4 heroes, we tend to die quite often so it's hard to progress

Man, I wish I was this far to be able to complain. I finished City, almost beat Stygian, and now I can never find a group =/.

So that is why I'm saying that the cause of this problem is uncertain because, at this point, it really is. I'm not being mean nor denying anything, but we don't know enough to know the source of the problem and we should look at all the possibilities.

...If not, you might have missed some irony there.

Kinda sucks that something is wrong with the elite mission everyone is fighting so hard to get to.
Although, I have been trying to get into smart pugs, but alas, paragons are not needed in here

although now that i think about it, i do remember hearing from 2 seperate alpha testers that none of them were able to beat one of the elite missions (urgoz i think) even with dev hacks before the game came out.

...Can you remind me about urgoz please ? Of course it was tested too, that's why it was bugged just like the DoA....

Also if i would have to take a guess, the issue has to do with the foes entering the ring or somewhere near it at least once to trigger the counter for the next spawn or the high priest has to be hit once per group idk. Sort of hard to tell since we don't know all the triggers, so just a thought.

Fact is they don't....
Please tell us did the ANET testers use an Assassin, Dervish or Paragon? Did they test it with each class with balanced builds in mind?
Thanks for providing a Rit HERO ANET...

On topic, I agree with Spawn, there is prolly some trigger that was not triggered properly. That trigger is prolly poorly designed, requiring too specific of an event.

Is there any information when this problem will be fixed?

Thank you to those who reported this and helped us identify and analyze the bug causing the problem.
