I have encountered an issue in a public bounty game, was soloing one bounty which required to clear monsters that spawned from a cursed chest, it came to the last 2 monsters which sat with 1% HP and would not move nor get hurt any further. I asked for another player to teleport to me and see if they could kill those 2 monsters but they just wouldnt die nor move and it prevented us from getting the Bounty Chest for that act after all that hard work.

This is a long-standing bug. Fortunately, it is quite rare. Unfortunately, the fact that it is rare and cannot easily be replicated means that it is a hard bug to quash.
I dont understand what you mean, so Blizzard wouldnt bother fixing this bug? I definitely wouldnt like to encounter such thing in the future. I have never encountered this before in any other game nor Diablo 2 even.
It’s not that they wouldn’t bother fixing it, it just means it would be a challenge to fix it. If you can’t reliably replicate the bug, how would you know if you fixed it?
So, if you want it fixed, then give them a way to replicate this bug. I haven’t been able to find a way to replicate it, even though I’ve run into this bug a few times. I don’t think anyone else has been able to, either.
Well, is it always a cursed-chest related bug? Or is it this specific bounty that is somewhat bugged?
Like I said, it is rare and it is random. There used to be an issue where it happened fairly often when using the wizard’s Black Hole skill, but that was supposedly fixed although there are still reports of it happening even now.
This bug can crop up in a few different ways. By far the most common is when a monster dies but remains standing. The monster is truly dead: it can’t interact with you and you can’t interact with it. It doesn’t move around. For all intents and purposes, this is a purely visual bug.
The next most common is an undead enemy. Part of the game thinks it’s dead, so you can’t “kill” it, but it can still attack you. You can attack it, but not kill it. And your pets and followers don’t react to it at all.
Here is a video clip of it, all the way back to patch 2.4.3:
The last type of this bug, I only encountered once: a monster that is dead, but thinks it is still alive. It follows you and attacks you, but does no damage. It doesn’t interrupt anything you do, so you can totally ignore it, and is probably a variant of the first.
I seem to get this “BUG” a couple times per day. Causes me to leave the game because I can’t get the rewards for the zone.
And I am a wizard and I use black hole skill.
