Bringing Down the House bugged

edoachedoach Member Posts: 23 Arc User
New Jem'Hadar that I made KDF aligned, I wanted to play this mission to get the Vov'wl comm code. Everything goes fine until I get to the batt'leth tournament and the objective of blasting open the inner door. I get through the hallway to the door that leads to that objective (not the locked door itself) and the hallway door will not open. It's not supposed to be locked, it has no prompts to open it, blast it, etc, it is stuck.

I returned to sector space and continued with that objective, redoing the entire map to get back to that point, with identical results.

I then dropped the mission, reaccepted it, and got there again. Same results, a door that should open does not. The mission is bugged to the point of being impossible to complete.

As I only cared about the Vov'wl comm code, I asked if support could issue the item since the issue is on their end. In so many words, "not our problem, deal with it" was the answer I got.

So, as a KDF player, I'm stuck without access to sector space exchange, mail, and banks. Great job Arc, and perhaps you should have support people that realize they're there to help and not antagonize.

    There's a door blocking the end of the corridor before you get to room with the green circle objective marked on the map.

    This is actually the cargo door you're supposed to blast: You should be able to select the door as a target and shoot it to destroy it (or just shoot at it if you're using shooter controls).

    Agreed the UI is not obvious - the green circle is NOT at the door - and it doesn't prompt you very well to do this.

    There is no prompt. Just ran it again from the beginning.Support still refuses to issue the comm code which is the only reason I'm running this mission as a level 65.

    The mission isn't bugged in any way. Support isn't going to issue the comm code simply because you can't follow directions.

    It quite clearly says to blast through the door.

    Your mission tracker clearly says Blast through the door.

    Hover your pointer over the door and you'll see a reticule. That means it's a target, shoot it.

    And voila! Your in.

    The same is true in Night of the Comet, if I am remembering correctly, and probably the ground part of Cold Storage, too. Basically any destructible door on a ground map needs to be manually clicked to start destroying it.
    This is an MMO, not a Star Trek episode simulator. That would make for a terrible game.

    Correct, the lounge in Night of the Comet works the same way as does the cave in Cold Storage.
