Encountered this issue with Peacekeeper Leff right after creating a character and killing the monster.
Having this issue on both story quests and Scouts. My character’s audio dialogue often works, but Npcs/Other characters or sometimes only every other slide a Npc talks.
For example, if I talk to Warden Arondele in the Sylvari starter zone, it’ll be silent the first bit of Dialogue (Welcome to Astorea) and then the audio will cut in on the second half and continue with the rest of the dialogue.
You know you can customize underwater music right? You can check the wiki for custom playlist for a guide on it.
I usually have under the sea stuck in my head when underwater, lol.
Just a suggestion, a option to turn down particle effects of other players that would not affect you. Mainly just things like combo fields which can effect your weapon load-outs would be emphasized and other particle effects except for enemy spells would be much dimmer/flashy. That and mainly be able to have a transparency slider for both Ally/enemy AoEs like mentioned above.
Also experienced the same bugged event in Snowden Drifts, this was on the server Tarnished Coast.
Necromancer here, had this same issue as well, tried every utility setup I could think of and only managed to beat him while downed with only a small fraction of health. I was unable to death shroud, most of my abilities to kite are tied to my weapons, asides from the rigor mortis tied to my bone fiend. Originally ran as a support build once that proved to be failing, I leveled 10 levels to unlock minion abilities and other skills, even then I was finding myself easily defeated. I would often LoS to kite him around pillars and the door frame forcing him to run around after me, eventually I was able to finally beat him, but only barely.
This was the Dead of Winter chain versus Mazdak.
*Edit, needed to mention I also unlocked and used my elite skills.
Wanted to include the setups I went with.
For the first setup I used my main dungeon build which is heavy wells/support/marks, I ran with Darkness for a Blind, Suffering for Damage/Vuln, kept, my first elite was Plague for the stability on fear. Wells with my trait also give protection, reason I did not use spectral wall. The Suffering well/Plague elite was also extremely helpful for burning the additional adds that would spawn after the fight had started <— This I found sort of odd, there were adds at the beginning of the room when you first enter (Those could be Attacked/LoSed out and killed without pulling Mazdak), however the additional adds that spawned after engaging Mazdak sort of seemed overkill for the fight.
For the second build, I used Minions, mainly for Rigor Mortis / Immobilize on the bone fiend and hoping the extra damage would be useful while running my tail end off around corners to LoS. For the elite I used Flesh Golem hoping the extra charge would help. This build did help quite a bit (mainly for damage since he has Defiant which makes him near unCCable, but anyways I would loose my stability and would often eat fears/damage. I did not opt for Spectral armor since I cannot go into Death Shroud.
My traits were Blood Magic (Tier 2 maxed) with various points in Death/Curses.
When not trying to keep myself from dying, I would often spam the offensive ability on Mazdak (second if I was distanced somewhat away) or the knock back on the sword for add set that would spawn.
This was also done alone not using a glass canon build.
At one point I was so desperate I tried to lead him into the spike room.
**Sorry for all the edits, trying to provide as much information as possible on my own personal experience regarding this issue and the steps/measures I had taken.
