Wander.5780 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I just had this problem too, 45 mins wasted for nothing. Its 2018 and after 6 years Anet still cannot properly test their game. Every time I give them credit for doing a good job something like this happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greymouse.6352 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 So, as of today, at this very moment, this issue remains. Since it is a GAME-BLOCKING ISSUE (!!!!!) I would think it would be a priority. Even hitting Lonai ONLY with solar core and nothing else, she dies before the 3rd shade asterisk. At least I can get each toon thru after multiple re-entries... 4 have made it through, 1 stuck atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wander.5780 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I’d really like to know if I should even bother with this quest until the issue is actually fixed, really don’t want to waste another 45-50 minutes of my day again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragyn.5706 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 So, yeah, obligatory 'Me too.' There is a checkpoint, so that's good. When you restart, you'll just be back on the tundra again from the start of that section. But, uh, then I just killed her again. They really need to look at this one.

It would be much easier to be patient if ANet would commit that they are aware of the problem and working on it. We don't even know if they took notice yet.

Offair.2563 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Just been struck by this bug too. Luckily a quick relog to char select screen fixed it. Edit; just only hit her with the special action key to trigger the shades you want to kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WendyB.1650 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Still happening. Why does ANet give us these stupid fights in story anyways????? No explanation. no anything. Just stupid mechanics that with an auto rez. Gave up for tonight kept getting stuck in Tundra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumbolia.5381 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 It doesn't look like this is on their radar yet: https://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us/articles/231272908-Known-Issue-Tracker I guess based on what they say there - if you run into this issue again use the in-game bug report system to send them a report. Maybe that will give it more visibility? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stone cold.8609 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Same thing happened to me last night. Killed Lonai too early at the Claw encounter and was stuck in the instance and couldn't progress. I logged out and when I re-logged and went into the instance, I luckily re-started at the Claw encounter with Lonai's health re-set to about 20%. Had to kite and hope that Braham didn't kill her too early. Barely made it to the end. I can't recall every trying to not damage an end boss of an encounter before in order to not bug the encounter. Agreed that this needs to be looked at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeyteriKiyeri.4207 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 It just happend to me, did play the story, killed the boss and no option to progress story. so stuck at jormag place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikuchan.7261 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Can confirm this feature is still in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleabite.7528 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 It's completely unacceptable that this hasn't been fixed 10 days into S4 ep2. Very buggy play. Impossible to progress if she dies at Jormag - and you make it a near certainty on some toons that she dies! Quitting the zone in sheer frustration. Ungood that this was issued in such a broken form.

Captain Feathersword.9324 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Yep, still bugged. I killed the commander when the portal bar was at about 80%. Went back in and it took me back to the final instance, but still didnt seem to work. It's pretty poor that this is a known bug that hasnt been fixed yet!

Little Leota.5849 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 My husband and I had the same thing happen last night. After three or four tries, we gave up. We'll wait until this is fixed before attempting it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarySueLlama.8136 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Still going on today, this'll be my 3rd time going in trying not to kill her before she pops a 3rd shade. Please fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greymouse.6352 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 It is now March 17, 2018. This issue is STILL going on. It doesn't appear on the Known-Issue Tracker. If I keep trying, I can finally make it through... ON THE FOURTH, OR FIFTH OR SIXTH TIME !!!! :angry: I'm on my 6th (of 12 ) chars going through. The first three chars posted in-game bug reports with screenies and descriptive text. With the next three chars I have only come here (and the issue-tracker) to see if anything has changed. Nope... no changes, just more people posting. I may have missed something but I haven't even seen a Dev post to say they even know about it. Is ANY Dev reading this thread???

Lillith.5724 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Yup..Second weekend now hubby and I are waiting to finish the LS..or attempt to continue it. Seems a bit disappointing that we're stalled until they fix this issue. Haven't logged in since we got hung up on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazhiel.8194 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 After having this happen a couple times I finally figured it out... you need to throw two solar cores at the boss and then she will summon a shade. Throw two more cores at her she summons another, etc. I think the trouble with this fight is that it isn't clear that throwing these at her are what causes the shade summoning... I just thought it happened on it's own in the earlier parts of the fight. I don't know. So while apparently technically this fight isn't "broken" it's still a poorly done instance as the method for causing the shade summons isn't clear, as well as the fact that she can be easily killed too early in the fight doesn't help.

Gumbolia.5381 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Kazhiel.8194: Technically this fight _is_ "broken". You can (quite easily) put the game into a state where you cannot do _anything_. (not being able to progress) == bug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaalBanaan.3640 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I had the same issue on my first attempt, I switched to character select and went straight back in the frozen area. There I tried the fight again by only using the solar cores on the shades, NOT on the boss herself. She finally spawned her last shade at 1% health and I managed to carry on with my story. Not sure if this is a solution, but it did the trick for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Leota.5849 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 In the Game Update Notes thread https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/31078/game-update-notes-march-6-2018#latest, Gaile Gray’s post on March 7th included the following: “Fixed an issue that prevented the boss from being damaged beyond 1% in "The Charge" story instance.” If I’m reading the update correctly, the issue was that the boss in "The Charge" could not be damaged beyond 1%, i.e. she could not be killed. Interestingly, this was the day before the OP started this thread. When we can kill Lonai before she activates her final shade, thus preventing us from progressing any further, it’s a bug. The wiki lists it as a bug, although it says it's "possible" to kill Lonai too soon. Not only is it "possible", it happens over and over again.
