Can you be more specific? Did you wipe at all before killing the boss? Did you try full party wipe and respawn after killing the boss? Did scarlet do her little commentary before the boss fight started? Did you notice anything out of the ordinary?
If you don’t know I hope you sent a ticket as anet can then go back into your logs.
Didnt wipe before. Tried wiping after boss, didnt work. Scarlet did finish her speech. During boss fight 3 people had strange lags and disconnected at low hp, managed to finish boss in 2, when rest logged in final cinematicss didnt play and we got stuck.

This is the culprit. The 3 people relogging managed to crash the cinematic firing script by logging into the instance right at the moment the cinematic should fire, causing an undefined state and thus the script crash.

Oh well I thought It may have connection to that…pity

That sounds like a plausible explanation of how the bug got triggered, but … as players, we shouldn’t have to worry about when we try to recover after DCing. In other words, it’s still a bug and ANet should not only try to fix this one, but should go to some effort to ensuring that progress is never blocked because a cinematic failed to trigger.
@Phil: sorry you weren’t able to get the final reward. I’ve had that happen at it is horribly annoying.
John Smith: “you should kill monsters, because killing monsters is awesome.”

Such a coincidence is extremely rare though because of the microscopic timeframe you have to “exploit” that. A precursor drop is more likely to happen than such a coincidence.
