I have been trying to finish the Defend the wall quest! I know it is like the first one ya get, and it is straight forward enuff...but I can't seem to finish it. I get to the Charr...see the cinematic, start running..but the gate at the end of the path is locked!..and I die. So I try again..this time I run the opposite way and run out of time..and die... starting to see my pattern! So I team up with a buddy on Sat night and we try the mission twice both with the same results..run the obvious way straight south and the gate is locked and we die. I am sure I am just overthinking this mission or I am just a numbskull and mission something obvious! But please....please..can someone elighten me!

I belive it's a bug, the gate should be opened so you can run away from the Charrs.

Thanks..does that mean I need to email tech support or something..since I thought the game automatically patched itself..or something like that

You could, it's a option. But could you take some screenshots and post them on here? It could just be a minor mistake.

He could be running back the way he came rather than taking the new straight to home route and not triggering the gate to open.

NO it is fine

after the cut scene

turn to your right about 90 degrees and take the trail.

in your minimap you should see the char army as red dots in the lower right in relation to you.

that nearby gate is locked and you are going the wrong way.

as it says FIND A NEW WAY BACK

just follow the only trail there is and you will be fine.

dont stop to fight the 2 devourers on the way back as they stop chasing soon

EDIT
