We entered the room for the last boss where we kill the Aetherblades to blow up the generators. Well we wiped and came back. Wiped again then came back but this time the Aetherblades did not spawn. Not one was in the room therefore we were unable to complete the dungeon. We even all died by jumping off a ledge. Ran back, they still didn’t respawn. We all relogged, still they didn’t respawn.
I can confirm this. I was in the same group. Upon entering the room for the third time, no Holopirates spawned. We did manage to destroy one generator using DPS only, it took a while but that did not manage to reset the event or get any holopiriates to spawn.
I would like to bump this. Happened to my group last night, after spending a very extended amount of time in the dungeon to get there. Very demoralizing to say the least.
Has this really not been addressed by Anet? My group just finally got to clockwork and wiped while killing generators. The generators all respawned, but now no holopirates are spawning. After so much time working on this dungeon, it’s infuriating. Did anyone have any success getting around this bug? Thanks.
We just had this bug, and we did it. One generator took around 10-15 minutes, and after the 8th generator went down, the boss fight started OK.
So, it’s managable. Just count your time for the 1st generator and compare 7x that time with what you need to do the run again.
P.S. There’s a timer on the generator’s super shield effect. If you think you can just wait till it’s over, here’s some bad news for you: the timer will just reset instantly at 0s and it’ll be 2 hours again.
P.P.S. The boss itself is harder than that. If you’re first timers – be prepared to sit another 1-2 hours on the boss. We did it in around that time.
