Supplies for Duke quest bug? - Guild Wars Forums

femto · May 02, 2005, 01:02 AM // 01:02

I was trying to form a party to do the Supplies for the Duke quest when someone informed me that it was bugged. He said he's never completed it himself but said he heard you don't get any credit for the quest if completed in a party. has anyone had any experience with this?

unless he did it himself it is only a rumor

Yes, I had it bug on me as well - we were two that tried to finish it - but no.

It's bugged. You escort the guys to Duke and baff as soon as you step into Pike Square they disappear and quest is uncompleted.

I also thought it was bugged, but on the second try I got it to complete. Here's some info that my prove useful. This is only based on my experience so its not fact.

1. Make sure all of the supply bearers are alive. If any of them are dead, it wont work. The first time I did this, I only had 3 of the 4-6(?) alive and the quest didnt work.

2. Once you exit from Piken Square, pick a route. Once you have a route picked, move as fast and kill as many enemies as possible. The earlier you get there, the less time the charr get to fight them.

3. Once you have all the suppliers, backtrack the way you came. Since you killed most of the stuff on the way there, you shouldnt run into any enemies.

4. Stop every now and then to do a head count of the suppliers. They are known to get snagged on the enviroment, and they just stand there, waiting to be killed.

5. Once you get to Piken Square, yes, they WILL all disappear. Check your log to make sure it says, "Go to *person* for reward."

That covers about most everything I can think of at the moment. Feel free to opinionate, ask, discuss, etc. Remember this based only on how I completed it and what I feel was necessary to complete. Enjoy, and hope this helps.

yep!! i did the same thing, and that was with a buddy, the first time we tried going through that big named mob!! that was a HUDGE mistake lol. went into piken square, came out, saw that there was a path around the hudge boss and used that. cleared a path all the way to the guys and ran back the same way. booom mission completed. so IMO, your advice is right on the money! because its the same thing i did.

but, people make sure NOT to go runing into piken sqaure when you get there, stop just infront of it, and the suppliers will go runing into it, then you can go inside and claim your reward.

femto · May 02, 2005, 05:56 AM // 05:56

yeah you guys are right, same thing I did. people probly think its bugged because they rushed into piken

rerard · May 02, 2005, 05:58 AM // 05:58

yah I did this quest once and it just reset, Im assuming some of the guys got killed. I tried it again right after and completed without any probs.

Corwin_Andros · May 02, 2005, 02:23 PM // 14:23

Damn the devs for expecting and escort sort fo thing require us to actually escort from point A to point B..lol..

Seriously.. I don't know how many times I'm botched something the first time by running off ahead of the NPC's I was escorting and had to redo the mission again.

I guess its one way to teach those of us with a tendancy to rush around to SLOW down..

Corwin_Andros · May 02, 2005, 02:25 PM // 14:25

Whoa.. Too early in my day. My typing still sucks bad. Sorry for the eye strain folks..hehe

jasondragon · May 02, 2005, 02:53 PM // 14:53

Yeah I entered piken square before the suppliers and no completion. Just make sure you click on the suppliers before they enter (when you're standing outside piken square.)

Should work

Lasher Dragon · May 02, 2005, 03:40 PM // 15:40

LOL You think that one is bad??? Wait until you have to escort Prince Rurik. Man I love this game but that mission pisses me off. You have to keep Prince Rurik alive, and not only is he a big sissy, but he loves to rush in and attack anything he sees. Devs if you are reading this PLEASE update his AI or something. I grudgingly agreed to go through it again last night (for the 4th time - went through twice in the BWE, once myself, and then this time) and of course after staying up until like 4 am to try to get my buddy through, what does Prince Idiotic do? 2 seconds after telling us "We need to avoid that confrontation at all costs" when we see a whole army of Charr, he charges in with his sword held high and brings the whole damned army down on our heads. It wouldn't be so bad if a) He hadn't just told us NOT TO DO THAT (MORON!!!!!) and b) We were allowed to rez him. Once he dies, mission over, start again. I HATE when the seemingly random actions of bad AI can decide whether you succeed or fail.
