Guild Wars 2

I will list the bugs I have encountered so far.

Rifts spawn in the void outside player reach

Unable to get into the air during AoE phases. Updrafts and glider wont activate at times. Consistency was not to my liking.

Taking damage while in the air (not from rocks thrown).

Under a health threshold the boss is immune to all damage.

After resetting the fight using the mote, the boss is not hostile(does not engage in combat) and player cannot commit suicide since the edges won’t allow you to jump down to your death resulting in a broken instance that has to be reset(Again).

So far, I am not defeated by the game but by bugs and frustration. I have wasted hours trying to finish this instance and can’t imagine how frustrated some people would be if a bug have struck while the boss is at the last phases.
Two screenies I bothered to take at the peak of frustration to showcase some of the bugs.

Apologies if I missed something or if this was already reported

Thanks in advance Anet and good luck with fixing stuff <3

I can confirm two of these…in my case the Updrafts not working happened on the second round of them, resulting in my death and having to restart the encounter. Then on my second go the floor under the rift was gone so there was no way to advance the fight.

Consequently between this and the map completion reward bug I have just sworn off all HoT content unless I already have done it without incident until they get more patches out…I dread having to do that whole last personal story thing again. If it broke a second time I would probably never finish it.

I, too, have encountered each of these bugs, except for the below health threshold invulnerability. But that’s because I can’t get past the last gliding phase because the updrafts either completely fail or because my glider won’t deploy.

As for that last bug, easy fix, ANet: just make the glider automatically deploy on updraft.

As has been mentioned, it’s really frustrating being persistently defeated by bugs instead of the game, and it’s a real pity, too, because otherwise the mechanics of this boss fight are awesome, possibly the best boss fight in the entire game.

I’m having the same issues. All seemed okay first time around, but then updrafts didn’t work. Upon re-trying, the rift was no longer connected to the platform.

I have now tried several times (a lot!), and each time the errors occur leaving me stuck again. Still, to start over you need to clear all the stuff before which takes a good 15-20 minutes.

Mighty frustrated now. Despite my best efforts, I’m losing this fight to bugs and doubt very much I’ll return to the fight again, on this or any other character until the issues are fixed.

I think needs to be looked at as a matter of urgency given it’s the final part of the story.

For me the last boss phase triggered, I activated the rift, and it just disappeared. The boss took no damage, the rift went away for good, and no more mobs spawned, the boss was waiting for the rift activation forever. Luckily for me, even though the boss was invincible “to all but rift damage”, my guardian GS skill 5 (binding blade) still managed to VERY SLOWLY damage it, so I managed to kill him like that and get to my ending after a long time using it.

End fight is just unplayable. With every reset bugged in a new way.

The fight is buggy as hell, unacceptably so. I only managed to complete it because when we all wiped at the end for some reason the boss didn’t reset phases, even though the blighted NPCs began to respawn. I’m not going anywhere near it again to help others until that embarrassment is fixed.

Seriously, ANet, I love the expansion, but I can’t believe for a minute that you play-tested that fight, because if you did you did, then either your QC team is an embarrassment or you are OK with foisting incredibly and blatantly broken content on paying customers.
