Last Reply,@Barbra. See I can do these things too.

You have me confused with someone else. I have completed this fight. As I said originally, I merely chimed in to confirm the apparent bug others have experienced but you, apparently, have not.

I guess my question is: How did we manage to mess up this complicated maneuver of simply running right into the updraft that’s right next you?

I must of been confused by your usage of “we.”

AliamRationem.5172:

As evidence: You are only able to activate the updrafts by jumping off of another object and gliding through them. I was also able to reproduce this. However, I was also able to hit my interact keybind while standing in/near or running through the updrafts to activate them. This worked every single time I attempted it, without fail. However, I noticed that there was no interact icon to indicate that this was possible (I expect that’s why you went through the trouble of jumping and gliding rather than simply walking up to them and interacting).

So what you’re saying is this bug isn’t game-breaking and I am right. It isn’t worth coming to a thread and posting nonsense once a month. (Referring to the OP) Thanks.

AliamRationem.5172:

So, to sum up: There appears to be some variance in how these updrafts function. Given that, it’s likely there is some sort of bug in play here. Your premise that I am whining because I can’t complete the fight is ridiculous because I have completed it, easily.

I’m not referring to you, although you made it seem like you were having trouble yourself. I’m referring to the OP. Try to stick to the subject of a thread when you post.

AliamRationem.5172:

Assuming that everyone is able to activate these updrafts via the interact keybind as I was, all we really need is to place an interact icon on the updrafts as they do with virtually every other interactable object in the game. That would be my suggestion on this one, to avoid confusion and frustration in what should otherwise be an enjoyable, albeit rather easy boss.

Sure, this is a quality of life fix. This isn’t a game-breaking bug as you, others, and the OP indicate. I was easily able to figure out a work-around on my first try two weeks ago, the second day I picked up this game, from around the release of Drytop. The question is, Is this thread really worth the trouble, or should the OP perhaps… oh I don’t know… try something different.

If you’re wondering why I’m rude in threads such as these it’s because I really despise posts following the parameters of “This doesn’t work, Anet sucks, Anet will never fix this because they fix nothing.” NO, fix yourself fool. Again, this isn’t directed at you. Either give a recording, post it under bug reports, open a ticket, or I don’t know… maybe rethink your strat rather than necro’ing your own post.

I dunno…I’ve seen both sides of this issue, both solo and in a party. The first time I tried to solo it, the rifts were temperamental, as were the updrafts…what killed it for me that time was when a rift spawned in an unreachable area. The second time I tried it with the same toon was about a month later…that time everything worked fine…I died once fighting Garm, used the retry node, and finished up fine, although I wouldn’t call the mish easy by any means. It took me about an hour to finish. The last time was about two days ago with guildies. Everything went OK, except we had a scare after we killed Mordy…the player who started the instance seemed to be unable to kill Trahearne with Caladbolg. All he could do was swing it for about 5 minutes. We were ready to give up amidst many kittenish comments, when finally, Trahearne’s dialog started up again and we were finally able to kill him and end the mish. So is it buggy…yeah. Is it doable…yeah. Is it soloable…yeah. Good luck YMMV.

Besides this post there have been a lot of posts about it on this forum since HOT launched. I’ve personally experienced the bugs with my glider not opening, with mordy not taking damage near the end of the fight once you get rid of his break bar where you have to kill yourself to reset him and with Brahams shield not working.

Random posts aren’t proof. That would be like taking the word of every conspiracy theorist you came across.

Yes but when there are many posts with the same problems………

What do you want? Screenshots? This is an internet forum not a court of law.

There are not many posts, and I am entitled to question you when you present information without proof. The most likely culprit is that you are not executing the mechanic in a way that works.

Avarice.2791:

There are not many posts,

Since HOT there have been many threads on it with exactly the same issues.

The last time I talked to Vayne in guild chat/ Mumble about this it’s still bugged.

another multi stage quest bugging out? what a shocker
Mordy can keep the jungle, i wont fight him
i wont even try it

I am entitled to question you

No you’re not..

I did this mission last night and walked into the first updraft and flew around no problem. Second time didn’t work.
I don’t think I did anything different but I may have done because it’s not obvious what you’re meant to do and at that point in the fight it’s all a bit laced with panic.

There were four of us and two made it to the second updrafts so it’s not broken, just unclear what you are meant to do.

Unfortunately the mission starter was the other person who didn’t make it so that reset the mission for all of us (would really like to see this part changed).

So, going to randomly toss this out there… if anyone would like a hand with this, feel free to add me. If I’m online, and not busy, I have no issues lending a hand.

Beyond that, for some of the bugs I’ve encountered in HoT, sometimes abandoning the story step (via the story journal) I’m on and then restarting it has fixed the issue for me.

January 2017, bug with stream alive and sends greetings to our flaming butts

not sure if the fight is bugged iv done it like 5 times now 2 solos on alts 1 on my main and 2 extreme mode fights for the trinket its not really that hard

it’s definitely not hard but bugs is very annoying
