CoF Path 2 Bugged
It’s happened to me a few times… Nothing new and it’s been reported.
I’ll be sure to try and get some eyes on this to see if they can reproduce it. If you can give us any more details that would be helpful. Did you fail the event once and then try again? Does the event start but he just refuses to take the bombs? If you fail/restart the event, does it fix it?
We never failed or got to do the event. The icon just failed to spawn over his head and give us the oportunity to start the event.
First time it has happened to me. I didn’t notice anything different that would have caused it.
Did the cinematic kick off where he explains what is going on? And then I believe he says a few lines afterwards. Did those happen?
No it didn’t. He just ran to the spot without triggering any of that.
Oh this reminds me, possibly related:
On Sunday my CoF P2 group bailed because the instance was so bugged.
A cinematic played in the middle of our fight with that dude + giant spider (right before the spider nest gauntlet).
When we got to the bomb section I’m not sure what happened because I was disconnected (I don’t think because of my internet connection) but whatever it was it caused us to fail the event and everyone was so frustrated by then they left.
The whole time we experienced ridiculous lag (like… Karka event level) and DC’s.
Thank you, IceCreamGentleman for your assistance. I’ll try to get our QA to try some different things that could break him at that moment, and I’ll check the script during those moments to try and figure out what I can.
Much appreciated.
I’ve found this bug a few times, it’s been around for a while.
It seems to be (and I could be wrong) that if any party members are still in the prior cutscene (after killing the prison warden) while other member(s) have reached the room where the bombs will appear, then Magg will run to the room without having the next event updated. The game trying to deal with overlapping cutscenes could be messing with the events.

Yea Sarcasmic has the direct reproduction of the event. If you have people still stuck in the cutscenes after the Warden, and you trigger the cutscenes w/ Magg’s bombs, it bugs. This has been around since release. Just be careful to watch to see if anyone is still in the cutscenes before proceeding
We faced this bug a few times and I think it occures when someone of the group accidentialy enters the bombroom before the prison warden is dead, triggering the cutscene.
I’ve experienced few times and it might be releated the previous cinematic. When some1 is watching it while other 4 came already the bomb part.

I’ll look into the issue as you described it and try to get our QA on it – great write up and description. Thank you very much.
Hey folks, update on this:
I looked into this, and found the issue. The door that opens up to the next area with the bomb collection event opens up early – it opens during the scene between Seer and the boss. If players go through the door before the event is active to go through to the next area, it will break. So if you don’t kill the boss, or don’t wait for the cinematic to finish with Magg and Seer, then it will certainly break. I have fixed this problem – thank you for helping me identify it!
Thank you Mr. Hrouda.
