Curse

Yesterday night, I was with a team at Nolani Academy. We wanted to attack the Charrs via the front doors. When we released the lever, some charrs that were there seem to have disappeared (pouf!). We engaged the ones that didnt disappear and beat them no problem. After that, Rurik seems to just be staying still even after we've dispatched all of the remaining charrs.

My guess is that there is a bug that made some charrs "disappear" when you release the lever to open the front gates. Since these have disappeared, you cant kill them, and Rurik doesnt follow you out once all charrs have been killed.

I dont know if anyone else has experienced this. Happened to me three times last night. I know that I used to be able to go out by the front doors by fighting all the charrs, then Rurik would follow and we go on with the mission.

well i have never seen this happen... peharps i should give it a try, were you doing anything that could have caused this to happen (eg: killing one patch of charr that could cause the bug).. ive had the gate open early on me but the only bad thing that happend was Rurik died in like 2 seconds flat... lesson, firey dragon sword does not = invincibility... i learned something that day...

anyways if you could explain some more or take screen shots it may help... unless anyone else already knows the problem

Well basically, what triggers the group of charrs waiting at the front gates to disappear is when you pull the lever to open the gate.

This is not a bug. You have to kill some more Charrs OUTSIDE of the gate, and then when the mission message changes, go back and meet Rurik.

I just did this one today with a friend. We have done it before this way, and tons of charr usually enter. But today, it was bugged. Rurik will only follow you if you have killed the boss outside. The boss is no longer directly outside of the gate, but along the path where you sneak behind them and try to kill him. We were heading for the bonus, and on the way we saw the boss and killed him. Then the message updated and we did the bonus, and then went to pickup rurik.

So you have to look for the boss somewhere in that map (usually near the road to the bonus via the front gate), and kill him before rurik follows you.
