new update = new bug

Ok so according to Anet's new patch, they made several improvements + fixed bugs in these new quests: To the Rescue, Duel of the Houses, The Jade Arena, The Halcyon Job, To Tahnnakai Temple, and Urgoz's Warren.

Now i've done the jade arena quest twice + aside from the convicted criminals having the new ability to use res sigs, Arena Master Portus doesn't give me my reward when i defeat them. So what exactly was the bug? The ability to get the quest reward when farming for faction?

I haven't tried the other quests since i have to go to work, but please post here if your having similar problems. If another thread exists, my apologies since search isn't working atm.

Jade Arena quest is also bugged for me as well, best to report them on A.net support website just so they know.

But I'm sure someone has done that already by now.

Duel of the Houses doesn't give the reward, either.

Hmm...but I thought outsider npc(who is not in town) quests are do-able multiple times. Yes, you are correct if you are talking about Cantha area...but I think once you get to Kurzick or Luxon territory, you can do it as many time as you want. Furthermore, if it can be done only once, then what is the purpose of ! mark above outsider npc everytime you see them, even though you already completed their quest?

Yeah, I tried to do Duel of the Houses last night...but I could not get the reward after completing them.

I did it about 6 days ago and dual of the houses gave me the reward...it was teh last 400 faction to my 10k

Fixed a bug that sometimes prevented the Arborstone mission from being completed.

---

made it worst, hasnt fixed anything, game code does not recongise that shes completed the spell casting ritual. blood of helzter or whatever its called

Those quests were reported as repeatable and farmable and I expected ArenaNet to fix those.

It's not repeatable now guys, find another place to farm factions.

Doesnt apply to the Arborstone mission, tried it 3 times tonight and failed to get through it because of the aforementioned bug.

Worse, if you dont keep the boss for last there you wont even get the door guardians appearing, the second & third time we did keep the boss 'till last and still the doors will not open despite Danika completing the spell.

I'd say thats a bug and pretty serious one at that since it prevents players from totally advancing in the game since you cannot go around the mission like it was usually possibly in Tyria unfortunately.

It seems that even when Danika is not interrupted and the spell seems to be cast it resets itself, last time I did this mission and the time before that it did this four times before the door swung open.

However in the cut scene after she says "For a minute I thought my spell wouldn't work".

So I assume what I got wasn’t a bug as the door still opened eventually albeit a few minutes after everything was dead.

There is a workarround that mission too... I had the same problems there, but if you prevent Danika to get stuck in the middle casting that "Blood of Zu-heltzer" where the pillars are... keep here away, use range to kill the monsters and then move quickly near the door!

That's how i finished it after trying like 11 times.

The Dueling houses repeateable quest is bugged, no reward for killing them. Booo.

Well its all been fixed now in may 9th update. I'm all smiles now
