Arena net has a very low quality assurance system... they should start using bugzilla instead of that crappy system they have and those canned messages. Bunch of noobs :@ I'm very frustrated about this situation.

Just tried it, still prone to bugging at the end. Not like you can command the henches not to heal you. -_-

I did this the day before yesterday with my wammo and henchies to cap a warrior skill from the boss right at the end. Didn't encounter a glitch but then again I killed everything in that final chamber. It was a tough fight but the henchies and I prevailed.

Eventually we all had to quit. One of the most frustrating experiences playing GW ever!!! Gimme back my $50 (ok, $45

). But seriously, this is a major glitch considering you need to get this mission done to move on in the story.

Please fix it, Anet.

This is your first frustrating experience with gw?? Have you not played iron mines and had markis get stuck time after time. Or how about when jalis ironhammer randomly leaves his pedestal at thunderhead to attack mursaat and dies. Or how about Rurik or gw bush as we like to call him always running off and aggroing extra groups in nolani.

They just made the game of course its gonna have its bugs and if they are significant enough they will fix em when they can get to them. Do you realize how many lines of code you need to debug to fix some of these problems its not like running spellcheck.

Try an elder scrolls game mainly morrowwind if you want to see a really frustratingly bugged game.

I just made my first attempt on this mission I got really annoyed by the arbitrary interrupts. I spent a whole minute or two chain interrupted trying to get a 5s rez off on two fallen henchies, and it's not clear anough where is safe and where isn't!

Eventually I got to the warrior boss, and knowing that bosses do double damage I dropped him first as he was a big threat, but very easy to disable and kill. Logical step, right?

Except the truth is that I'm about 10s away from losing the mission because Danika's AI script writer decides not to bother checking to see if I'd killed the boss's horde of badass minions guarding the door - so off she goes and suicides in the middle of them all, failing the mission for me. Cheers for that

Maybe her script should check if to see if I've actually cleared the boss and his small army before trying to open that door? Geeeeeeeeeez. So after wasting an hour of my life on that, I'm going to have to re-do it tomorrow and work around bad implementation by having the henchies soak up the boss damage while I drop the minions to get around Danika's suicidal habits, THEN drop the boss who I could have killed right at the start

The collapsing roof stuff really needs to affect the monsters too, and it's just a bit much to see the party suffer co-ordinated knockdown every 4s or less in some areas - how much junk is there to fall down anyway?! Collapsing cathedral, great idea, just went a bit overboard on the falling masonry and didn't think how to mark safe / dangerous areas properly

Apart from hating the gameplay on this mission, I think it's great

Effendi Westland · May 09, 2006, 08:39 AM // 08:39

Should be fixed with the new update

Estic · May 09, 2006, 09:51 AM // 09:51

sorry to report its not.
Just spend half an hour in a very good group trying to ge ther to the door. At one point we had her at about 5 meters and she couldnt do it.

Maybe the most frustrating part about it is that i've seen the cutscene that follows (at a friend of mine who brought necro sacrifice skills). She actually mentions that she was afraid her spell wouldnt work. Well go figure if you try to do it from 15 yards out.

Vlad Titanskin · May 09, 2006, 10:37 AM // 10:37

tried 6 times today didnt work.
Euro dis 1 is full with ppl wich cant complete it atm ...

Guild Wars Game Update Notes
Update - Monday May 8
Fixed a bug that sometimes prevented the Arborstone mission from being completed.

Why its not working eh ... why you say its fixed when its not working !?

lol we had a guy who was there for 29 hrs ....

Whiskers · May 09, 2006, 01:20 PM // 13:20

It's probably a typo in their newest update message, which should have read:

Fixed a bug that sometimes allowed the Arborstone mission to be completed

nm me, I'm just bitter after trying it twice. Tried to lure Dannika around to no avail...

Before update though, my other char ran through the mission with henchies without a problem.

GranDeWun · May 09, 2006, 02:16 PM // 14:16

I've now got two characters stuck on this mission - my first one made it thru on the first try. Granted, I've only had enough game time to try it a few times, but between bad PUGs and Danika, it is starting to seriously annoy me...

(Last PUG: 3 enemy groups. While I use longbow to pull one, W runs off to another, and A runs off to a third. Then Oni's pop up...)

yhm · May 09, 2006, 03:39 PM // 15:39

still bugged after the update, she seem to chain casting her "blood of zu helter" like 5 feets away from the door and don't want to move.

It already annoying when my ele's long casting spell getting interrupt by all those falling structure(forget to bring GoC). Then, finally when i get to the final gate just to find out the mission is bugged.

I wonder how hard is it to just slap that "ghostly hero" programming script(in GW:P desert mission) on danika.

Therlun · May 09, 2006, 06:11 PM // 18:11

just to keep the topic on top:

plz fix it!

Batou of Nine · May 09, 2006, 06:25 PM // 18:25

My 5th time trying this mission was last night. I hadnt played Factions for a full week while i was waiting for my CE to come in. I finally get it and BAM it still doesnt work. Danka was AT the doors, like right beside it, and she just started spamming "Blood of Zu Heltzer" completing the skill MANY times without anything happening or the doors opening. After 1 full week of waiting i still cannot get any further in this game, ridiculous.

Just to re-iterate the problem::
ARBORSTONE MISSION IS STILL BROKEN!! ANET FIX THIS BUG ASAP PLZ!! WE HAVE BEEN WAITING PATIENTLY FOR A WHILE NOW!!!

enjoy.

ling43235 · May 09, 2006, 06:26 PM // 18:26

It's still very much bugged this morning, as I tried with an all-human squad fighting to the end, clearing all the baddies. But no, the door still didn't open, no matter how many times she casted that spell to full completion. We figured it's either Anet lied to us, or this Danika is actually an imposter.

Thallandor · May 09, 2006, 07:23 PM // 19:23

How this game passed the beta testing phase into full release with such game breaking bugs is truely frustrating.

Arduin · May 09, 2006, 07:43 PM // 19:43

Still won't open...6th run this day...European Arborstone is still broken...

If we were just able to skip this mission and venture further into Kurzick territory, I wouldn't mind a bugged mission. But now alot of players, including first-timers just can carry on with the storyline...

OPEN UP!!!

After 10 mins, she still was using "BLood of zu Helzer". So our Nec tried forcing her to open the door, by spilling Viktor's ashes all over her...of no avail...

Well...meh...

khronic · May 09, 2006, 10:18 PM // 22:18

well.. just tried this mission.. i'm in it now.. while writing this.. i like how the guild wars website says it's fixed, when in reality, they just mamde it worse..WTF A-NET.. QUIT SCREWING UP ALL THE TIME. A 4 YEAR OLD COULD SCRIPT BETTER THAN THE PPL YOU HAVE

Bu7ch · May 09, 2006, 11:00 PM // 23:00

Yep...tried it twice today and no luck.

Albas · May 09, 2006, 11:52 PM // 23:52

just annoying, and I bet they are sitting there in their offices thinking the glitch is fixed...
