Tower Down bugged

I see Tower Down has been mentioned in the forums before as buggy. I just played it during my lunch break. I completed the tasks of destroying the three towers and clearing the beach of undead.

Nothing happened after that. There was no further green star to indicate what to do next. There was no dialogue. There was nothing. I ended up leaving the instance thinking that may help and now it says I have to replay it.

Understandably, I don’t want to waste my time on it until I know it is fixed. Now I’m in the position of being unable to complete my personal story.

As to my information, I’m a level 75 Human Engineer playing on Gate of Madness.

Did the “Clear the beach of undead” step complete? (As in, it was turned from a * into a checkmark.)

I haven’t been able to reproduce this bug myself, so I’ve asked our testing team to take a look at it. If we can identify the issue today or tomorrow, it will be in the 9/24 update.

Aha! Think I found it. It’s slated for the 10/1 update.

If you don’t want to wait, try this:

At the third tower, there are several spawns of undead. Kill the risen krait last. I think the problem is that one of the beach spawns does some other stuff, and was also part of the “Clear the beach” objective, which is based on killing about 3-4 total spawns, so if you did both at the same time, it would do the “other stuff” and not do the stuff it’s supposed to after the objective is completed.
