Last night I ran into an odd bug in Fractals. It was during the Snowblind Fractal’s final boss battle, when one of my team mates went down (he got hit by the barrage of falling ice from the Sons of Svanir Shaman). -And we couldn’t revive him. Well we could, but he didn’t receive any health from our collective reviving (no green numbers popping up). We couldn’t revive him during the boss battle, nor after the boss battle was over.
This is different from the problem where you don’t have a line of sight, because a player is below the floor. That was not the case here. We could revive him, but he didn’t receive any health what so ever. You can see this in the screenshot, where regardless of our efforts, his health bar remains empty.
This happened on the Aurora Glade server, with a full party of players of various classes, and without doing any funny business, like glitching. We did the Fractals exactly as intended, and nothing really odd happened, apart from this one party member getting hit by ice from the shaman boss.
Another issue that has recently popped up, is health bars dropping to zero the moment you start reviving someone. Often you’d see a player who has already recovered some of his health, but isn’t up yet. And the moment you start reviving, his health reset back to zero again.

I’m inclined to believe this is actually a bug with health displaying on certain items. Certain things, mostly inanimate objects, but also defeated players, when their health is set, display at about 1/3 health. When you interact with that number in any way (damaging the inanimate object, beginning to revive the player) it changes its actual value as one would expect, and the display shows the new correct value. You can see this pretty easily yourself on the Snowblind fractal, the Elemental nearly always shows 1/3 health when you arrive in his room, but after you attack it, it reverts up to the expected full health.
