Anet: Elite Mission Quest Bug. Elite Mission Incomplete?

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.

Unless it broke in a subsequent update.

DoA hasn't been touched since its implimentation, aside from minor graphical issues (Quest and Enrage clarification).

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

Actually, that update just caused loot to drop when the player had no involvement. The enemies still fought.

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:
Gaile's last comment made me flinch.

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

heh, yeah.. it is an interesting comment.. blame the players first, by default.. that's a pretty crappy initial assumption.

No, there's no proof at all, for as I understand it, the quests have been completed by ArenaNet team members. (Not me, personally, alas.) I don't think we'd unleash an Elite Mission without testing it, so you?

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.

Er, was the allusion to the standard Chaos-theory analogy intentional? 'cause if so, you're my new hero of sly message-board-irony posting.

...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.

Yeah, sure.

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

I have faith it will be fixed and i don't mind doing it again sort of a challenge and fun using heros.

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.

Thats Great Gaile you know if most people had 7 other people who could deadicate 8 hours a day for the focus of beating this, they could too.

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...

Wow, you almost melted my screen with all that hate and anger. Deep breath, in with the good, out with the bad.

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.

Yes, this bug has been identified and a fix is currently being programmed. It's a somewhat quirky bug that affects different players or teams a bit differently, but we should have this repaired soon.

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