Banished Cells bugged?!

arondight

So I tried it out a couple of times yesterday.

• The first quest-NPC doesn't even spawn,
• the dungeon-quest doesn't advance,
• the endboss doesn't spawn,
• the dungeon can't be completed.

How on earth can this be? It's a completely controlled environment. 4 PCs go in and are given access to a newly created instance. No outside influences should exist. How can you script the quest so badly that it breaks even if you (as the game designer) have the greatest possible control over the environment?

What's worse, the same happened to me during beta - and I was not alone. It was reported during beta as well.

Right now, we can only speculate what's going on here. Adds spawned behind the walls that can't enter combat but prevent the quest from advancing? Party members with half-finished quests from earlier runs? We don't know. None of this changes the fact that no experience in an MMO is more controlled than an instanced dungeon. Such bugs months after they were reported that keep dungeons from being completable are not shining a good light on the game as a whole.

I'm supposed to pay the equivalent of another game's DLC every month and yes, that leads to a sense of entitlement. Entitlement as in "the basic stuff should work, at least."

Yeah, same issue here too. We tried this Dungeon several times, but we didn't get any further with the quest. After the first mini-boss kill nothing happen and you can't interact with that NPC.

Yep had this with a guild Group yesterday. Tried a wide range of things to fix but no luck at all. Submitted a ticket for it but unsurprisingly never heard back given they were probably swamped at the time.

Works fine after patch again.

I wish. The first keeper is bugged out. Again.

Coming from AD, while I have talked to the undaunted and entered BC 4 times (but never got past the bugged first quest-NPC), I can't even port to other dungeons.

So currently, it looks like 4-man-content is entirely blocked for me, which is frustrating. Good thing they ask me for my credit card now, not after the time I payed for is up. Things like that might heavily influence my decision-making on sunday evening.

Same thing for me. I sent in a bug report yesterday (like I'm sure many other's have) I can't talk to the girl after killing the first mini-boss and the last room never spawns the final boss. I was really looking forward to trying group content. So much for this....

For me the ritual, after you defeat the last boss, is bugged. I tried logging out and re-entering but that didn't solve the problem. It's pretty frustrating when you have defeated the last boss and can't finish the quest.. Also this is the first group dungeon for the AD, I expected it to be working when early access began.

Cannot talk to girl after first mini boss. same problem here.

BC still bugged yesterday 6/4/14 evening, its a shame - this was supposed to be the first grouped dungeon experience for 1/3 of the subscribers and its frustrating to say the least.

I cannot enter the dungeon through the door. . . can only port in.
