seriously? mordremoth.
I can’t even get there!!! It bugged 2 times in a row after defeating the Pale Tree and won’t let me activate the friggin rift! I don’t have time to replay this thing 1000 times! I seriously can’t believe that I had to pay 45 euro for something that in most part is not working as intended. Except the graphics and the sound there is nothing OK with this exp!!!
Seriously angered about this. i pay more then 50 bucks for a cringeworthy boss fight where the biggest challenge is hoping that it wont bug out next time you have to relog to repair your armor.
I picked Braham and Canach because people on the main world already warned me its near impossible to do Caithe’s fight without a bug stopping you from going further, great.
First try, Canach stops moving and fighting at 50%, no reflects means no progress, kill myself and retry.
Second try, Canach actually helps me this time but refuses to give me his shield at the last part of the fight, either he is bugged out again or a greedy npc. Stuck once more, kill myself and repeat.
Third try, thank heavens canach works, hope i can repair my armor soon (oh wait). Mordremoth next, died a few times figuring out how the fight works and with one more shot at it before my armor is completely broken, the updrafts on his aoe strike at 75% hp decided not to spawn this time.
Fourth try, relogged to get back for armor repair, watch all cutscenes again, canach only bugged once this time. so after a 40 minute detour because of armor repair im back at mordremoth. and then the rift decided to spawn outside of the bloody area like in the attachment. trying to resist the urge to punch my monitor i alt+f4’d out of there and ended up here.
it’s been how long since the release? and still the primary endgame boss of this expansion is a clusterbomb of bugs.
I had the same problem first time i ran the story, the rift spawned outside the area, then when i re-run it, i had 2 rifts spawning, one was still outside the area but thankfully, the 2nd one was reachable and i was finally able to finish it.
2 nights ago, i tried it again on my ranger and when Modrem AoE phase came on, i barely saw the updraft, run to it and it lifted me a few feet off the ground, then quickly dumped me on the floor to be insta-jibbed by mawdry. after trying it for like 6-8 times and same thing happening, i quit the whole ting, disabled the story on my UI and promised myself i’ll never do that part again.
Just the fact you have to repeat the whole fight all the way back to beginning , is the most irritating thing i’ve ever experienced in any game. The mission chain is way too long, they could have easily put a checkpoint after each fight so if u get dc’d or whatever, you don’t have to keep repeating the entire thing. Same with mawdry fight, having to fight rythlock and marjorie 8 times over made me feel physically ill and i realised if i had do it one more time, i’m would throw up.
The worst part is that a month after release there is NO fix for this! They are under a kittenload of bugs, POOR design decisions and god knows what else. Good job on destroying the game!
Sorry to hear about your bugs, guys. I just finished the story for my first time last night on the first try, with caithe and braham. Died once for each fight, though.
Maybe just hang in there? I know several people have finished the story in my guild.
We are such flecks as stars are made of. . .
I noticed this bug comes up when you die during the third airborne phase. He rips the platform away were the rift was so he can throw it at you but if you die, the platform doesn’t reset. Happened to me twice. I’ve tried the fight 5 times. I’m giving up for now. It’s ridiculously long and it sucks. You can barely see Mord’s ground AOE that he snaps at you while you’re trying to down the friends and get to the rift.
I don’t have a lot of time to play so I had hoped I’d finish this the but it looks like I’ll be coming back later.
I can’t believe this isn’t addressed, even in the added patches after yesterday’s big patch. I’m about to just take a hiatus from this game because I’m really losing interest fast. I hate that idea because I’ve put more than just the purchase of the original game and HoT in to it. Plenty of gem purchases sunk in to keys and other stuff.
I know they are pushing PvP right now but that’s not what I’m interested in. It’s the HoT content I want to participate in. I want the story done with and not have to worry that if I die, it won’t bug out.
I’ve experienced most of these bugs (and even more) myself and they did however fix some bugs that appeared frequently after release in hearts and minds already. However: Many people on this thread say they did not complete the story yet. I suggest that you try to do it as a group. You have quite some people here to meet up with for it. I always went with at least one of my friends and you have to have really bad luck to get bugged during mordy (the bugs with the other bosses are another topic… bring repair canisters like your life depended on it … it somehow does XD). Usually only one person gets the flight bug and I haven’t seen the rift bug appear with a group yet (as mentioned earlier this might be related to dying during flight phase)
Really hope all of you will be able to do it soon :/
I remember a few weeks ago there was a long list of bugs that they fixed with this quest yet…. all the ones they said they fixed were not fixed at all..

I also had to start over because the rift spawned outside of the area. However I didn’t do the fighting alone but together with my bf – well, at least half of it because halfway through he died and respawned at the top but couldn’t get back down to the fight – twice (killed myself once because I didn’t want to do it alone). I tried every corner to get out of combat but even when Mordremorth seemingly lost aggro I was stuck in combat… We didn’t want to start over again so I did the rest alone but it was very frustrating for him to watch only…
it is frustrating to do alone and takes a lot of time, but at least you get it done and can move on… thats why i suggest to go as a group…. as frustrated as you get its still better than starting all over again :/
Gave up on this fight shortly after release due to bugs, but I’ve attempted to do it again yesterday + today.
Results:
1. Second flight phase, can’t get into air because the whirlwinds don’t do anything. Die.
2. Second flight phase. Still can’t get into air. Die again.
3. Restart instance. Blighted Pale Tree despawns before I can use the rift.
4. sigh Leave instance.
I mean… what.
