No tarnished emblem appearing on the map for me at the west portal. Rezoned. Something must be bugged about it.

I never talked to the scout and just did the arrowhead quest... maybe that's the glitch or did anyone get the emblem without ever talking to the scout.

Didn't talk to the scout on two accounts, did both quests on both accounts, no problems.

Bah, I told John that this happened. I thought he was going to get it fixed. I'll make sure he gets the message this time.

I still can't figure out why the tarnished emblem is not showing up. I rezoned from both entrances, went to the Hall of Monuments to make sure that the dialogues ended at the last box (since they loop, over and over again) and went back and tried to find it again at the west entrance. I again, rezoned at both entrances and NOTHING! I won't kill myself trying to find the third item: I'll kill myself trying to get the emblem to show up.

yes i'm having the same problem. did the first quest with the arrowhead, then upon completion it mapped me back to the HoM. gwen went into a little dialogue starting with "k-kieran is alive!". she repeats this same dialogue over and over.

talking to her again only gives me the option to get keirans bow again. talking to the scrying pool only gives me the normal eotn options and the option to do the arrowhead quest again.

i've ran to the portal at majesty's rest twice now, and done the arrowhead quest twice. no emblem to be found =/ oh and i've zoned in and out of my hall of monuments like 20 times (as suggested on the wiki talk page) and that doesnt help

I'd really appreciate a fix for this please and thanks

Uh... she's just repeating the "Please find Kieran, or find some trace of where he's gone" dialogue series over and over and over. There's no new quest from her. I give up.

Did you try going from druids overlook straight to majesty's rest? This happened to me (originally went from Temple of ages), tried rezoning but then gave up and just went to druids overlook. Zoned out then traveled to majesty's rest. Soon as I went through the portal the emblem was on the ground.

I had a glitch where gwen kept babbling, repeating the dialogue after the first item, went to find item #2, it wasn't there, came back into HoM, then she went through the dialogue once, then went back to the location and item #2 was there. After the second mission, she did the babble glitch again, I went out and went back in, she went through the dialogue once, so now im going to head out and hunt for item #3. I thin the bug is she has to complete her dialogue to advance the story but it loops, you have to get it to not loop. exit and enter the HoM till it stops looping.

Yeah, I've since restarted GW, zoned into Druid's and went from there. I am sitting in the Hall of monuments to see if Gwen loops her conversation forever, or just a few times. We'll see. I'll give it awhile to see if she ever stops and if so, see if that fixes the problem.

okay this is bugged too. my ranger was on the second WiK quest so i grabbed the thing from murro in la. it made me do a few dialogs and now its saying kill these mantle. but i already killed them and turn in the quests. so i dropped the wik quest and now i cant get it back. and the log is still not updating. ;/

what do i do now? D:

Ok, so the issue is with Gwen's constant babbling. If you can zone into the HoM and have her go through the dialogue once, then the emblem will spawn in. It took two zones for me to get Gwen to run through the dialogue loop once. If you can accomplish that, it fixes the quest.

I do realize that this the eternal conundrum though. I mean, how do you get a woman to stop talking? ;] Keep rezoning into the hall of monuments and wait to see if the dialogue stops looping. That's the only solution I came up with.

All you bloody whiners about them making BLA easier:

1. be happy you did it when it was hard so you had a challenge?

2. you missed the second half the of the 'made BLA easier' statement:

For the people that are looking for better rewards and a greater challenge, that option will exist for them as well. Both are completely valid ways of playing the game, and they do not have to exist in a manner that is mutually exclusive.

One last thing for now:

For those of you who are having trouble getting Gwen to shut up so you can continue on with the quests, sit in the hall for a bit letting her gargle up the same speech over and over again. After awhile, go out and come back in. Then the dialogue should go through it's normal course of one go-through and you should be able to continue on again.

If this is the case, I'm wondering if perhaps the third item is under the same conditions as the second, in which, when Gwen is in a never-ending loop, said item does not spawn as it would normally when Gwen only goes through her speech a single time.

Looking through Keiran's skills, me and my co-leader were wondering if these skills are a glimpse of how skills will function in Guild Wars 2, all except for Sniper Shot of course, but like Nature's Blessing, is a heal that effects yourself and allies in earshot, but it can only be maintained half the time. Maybe we're just crazy but it seemed like she was onto something

A little less enemies, a bit more time between mobs, and there was something about the asuran weapon being a little later on. I noticed those off the bat, but there could be something I didn't pick up.

Hmm. Is this not able to be done on a second character? I completed the first two already, but on a second character, the arrowhead is nowhere to be found...

That character has completed all of WiK as well....

NM: I hadn't told Gwen her crush was lost.

Make sure you talk to the scout outside of the EotN. I think this might be necessary to do the first of the quests. Also, make sure you've seen all the dialogues in the HoM and elsewhere.

Considering I'd want to purchase it for both of my main accounts, $14.99 for the wedding costume pack is too rich for my blood. I'll have to pass on it, I guess. At $9.99 each instead of $14.99 I might have been tempted to buy two sets of the wedding costume pack, but still. I only spent like $13 on Minecraft THE GAME. This money will be better saved for holiday Steam GAME sales rather than costumes.

Is there anything that causes the scout to appear? He's been there for one char, not 3 others. All have finished EoTN. No idea what prerequisites are for the "A good Deed" quest..

Isn't Minecraft an alpha? :P No reason to knock the costumes, I'm sure plenty of people will enjoy them, so no reason to bring down their experiences. I do agree that 2 costumes at 9.99 would have been nice.

Anyone can spend their money however they wish. I have no issues with that. The costumes look nice, but this time they're priced a bit out of my range, especially with all of the other game-related things that will be available this holiday season. There are better deals elsewhere... for me. That's all I was saying.
