'Takedown' bug, can't make progress.

in PC Gameplay Bug Reports
Currently trying to complete the Delta Rising story arc, can progress through to the point you encounter Gaul at an arena area. According to a youtube vid a door should open as he says 'you should have joined me when you had the chance', but it doesn't. Nothing comes into the area and it doesn't progress past 'wave one'. Have dropped and restarted the mission several times but it always stops at that point. Wouldn't mind so much but getting to that point is quite lengthy! Suggestions?

    I'm in the same place you are, except I am making it to the last wave and having Gaul just stand there after. That's quite a bit of fighting just to have to beam out and try again.

    Thanks for letting us know. We haven't had this issue reported yet to my knowledge. We will take a look ASAP.

    I'm trying to reproduce your problem, but I could use a little more detail. Specifically, do you recall if you were fighting in the arena or did the fight wander into the hallways attached to it?

    For me the fight never started, the door never opened for the first wave although you could see their red dots on the radar on the other side. Tried maybe 5 times before just skipping the mission.

    Did the door open in the cutscene? Where were your boffs at the time? I have some ideas but would appreciate help in narrowing it down.

    Door never opened at any point even though the camera focused on it for a while. Boff's were in standard 'follow' grouping so just a few meters behind me when going through the door to trigger the cutscene.

    Same issue here unfortunately. I walked into the arena, Gaul's "you should have joined me" dialogue window appeared but the doors across the arena remain closed.

    EDIT: After logging out of STO and logging back in today I re-ran the mission and it worked. I believe that Gaul's speech was interrupted on my previous attempt.

    I have the same thing going on for me. No door opening, nothing coming out to face me. I tried switching chars and coming back to it but it did not progress me. I restarted the mission and teh same thing happened. we walk into the area, boffs with me, cutscene, no door opening, no wave one.

    Edit: After I shut arc down completely and did a force verify, i was able to get through.

    I just ran thru this twice because it sticks at the end. I make it to the final fight with gual in the arena. wave 4. the first time thru I didn't watch too closely the completion list on the side as things seemed to be going well. after beating him the final time he just stood there. couldn't target him or interact with him at all. I looked at the quest monitor and it showed both 'defeat gual' as uncompleted. everything else listed showed completed.

    closed the client and retried

    so ofc I did it the second time. this time I watched and the first 'defeat gual' went green. get to the final and again he just stands there. and again both 'defeat gual' are white again. since I hadn't wanted to waste the time going all the way to the end if I failed to kill him the first time I was watching for it and made certain it was green the first time you need to defeat him. so how it suddenly ends up white at the end I cant tell you. everything else again showed completed.

    there was a question about 'did the fight drift into the hallway' or something like that.. in my case yes it did the first time thru. no on the second try. my duty officers are also in standard follow/act normal mode. I do not believe any of them went into the hallway during the fight. hard to say for certain as they run around attacking the enemies.

    I have had this issue just today. The waves of enemies will not spawn after you enter the arena and Gaul gives his speech. I redid it 3 times with no success.

    edit: This is on my Federation aligned Romulan character.

    edit: was finally able to get this to complete on 4th time through. Sent my BO's ahead of me via waypoints and held back at top of ramp. Doors opened, cut-scene trigger and during Gauls speech, the far doors opened starting the wave of enemies portion of mission.
