[2023] Unlocking Duviri Steel Path (Post Hotfix)

Hello!

If you’ve spent a lot of time in Duviri on the Steel Path, you may be having some issues accessing these nodes after our recent Hotfixes. This is due to a fix for players not earning Duviri Steel Path Trophies that caused more widespread issues than we anticipated.

In short, after Hotfix 33.5.6, you will have to go through additional steps to re-access Steel Path Duviri due to this bug fix. To help clear up any confusion, here is what needs to be done:

• Complete the Duviri Paradox Quest (if you haven’t already).

• Complete a minimum of one Stage of the Normal Path Circuit and extract.

• Defeat the Orowyrm in Normal Path Lone Story and extract. 

 

Once you have completed those three nodes, Steel Path Duviri should be open to you, like with all other Regions.

If you’re curious about what steps led us here, we offer this play-by-play:

What happened:

• We got reports of players unable to earn their Steel Path completion trophy from the Duviri region.

• The first issue we discovered is that the Duviri mission selection was allowing everybody to play the Steel Path difficulties even if they hadn’t done the normal difficulty first. If you’re a veteran player, you know you shouldn’t be able to play Steel Path first. This was blocking people from being able to complete the Steel Path trophy in Duviri.

• Our fix for the mission selection revealed a second issue, which is that Duviri mission nodes were not completing for most people on a successful play-through. So even though people had played and completed these missions, it never internally counted those missions as completed.

• We fixed both issues: Firstly, players who finish the Quest now unlock the Duviri Experience node, which means playing The Circuit and The Lone Story now properly gives you credit for completion. Secondly, the UI will prevent players from doing the missions out of order which was blocking the Steel Path Trophy from ever completing.

• The combined fix requires players to replay The Circuit and The Lone Story Duviri nodes on normal difficulty to correctly log a Mission Complete for each of them and enable the Steel Path.

 

 

“But I already played these missions a long time ago.”

• Unfortunately, your successful missions were not registered as complete for your account. We fixed the bug that stopped the completion from saving to your account, but you still need to play them one last time, and it’ll stick.

 

“But the message in the game said....”

• We are aware that the in-game prompt says, “You need to complete The Circuit on normal difficulty,” and fails to mention The Lone Story. We’re ensuring that this messaging will be corrected in a future update. Apologies for the confusion there!

 

We hope this thread clarifies the steps needed to unlock Duviri Steel Path for those asking, and as always, thank you for understanding.

Such a kerfuffle in order to fix Steel Path Trophy, yet still no Steel Path Trophy. 

I've verified that the Steel Path trophy will complete correctly now for an account that logs completion for all the nodes.  In your particular case, you have not done The Lone Story on Steel Path.

Please explain why I do not have to do any normal Duviri to access SP Duviri despite you saying I have to?

Completing The Duviri Paradox Quest autocompletes the Duviri Experience node in the backend.
