So, a most unenjoyable dungeon. Moderately large first level, then 3 medium sized levels, and then a rather large dungeon level for the 4th level. Of course, there are 3 siphons on this level, which you have to draw out the Khazra defenders from. Well, 2 of the defenders emerged from their respective siphons but the 3rd one…after 15 minutes of sporadic spawns of mobs, I gave up and quit the game for the night. ~40 minutes of my time wasted.
Worst of all, no loot drops. Terrible dungeon design Blizzard.
What’s worse is this is a known bug. Come on Blizzard, fix the bugs. The game is nearly 3 years old now. I’ve started playing again after a 2 year hiatus from the game and these bugs are frustrating to see. I’ve had 2 other quests bug out, 1 of which a quest abandon fixed the issue, the other, (kill flies in Scosglen) seems to be unfixable, after multiple restarts and quest abandons.
Fix the bugs. I know devs find bug fixing boring, but it’s a critical part of customer satisfaction about your software product(s).
I think I figured it out. In the Bastion of Darkness, there are 3 siphons, but they are very dark icons that I could not see against the black floor. I had a hunch, so after struggling for like an hour, I turned the contrast on my monitor to max, and I could just barely see them. (I have poor eyesight, which was part of the problem.) Then, you have to stand still on the siphon for like a full minute while the bad guys beat on you. (They don’t hurt, just annoying.) Suddenly, the siphon will transform, and you are done. You must do this for all three siphons.
I was able to kill the other 2 champions at the other 2 siphons…I’ve activated the siphon…the other 2 siphons generated a few waves of mobs before the champion appeared…this did not happen with the 3rd siphon. Googling it shows it’s a common bug and you have to typically quit the game, reset the dungeon etc to get it working…this would be the 3rd issue with bugged challenge/quest that I’ve experienced with the game. Silly bugs that shouldn’t exist in a AAA game.
Have moved on from this issue, playing s12 and switched to trying a paladin. Haven’t been enjoying it so far and having a horrid time with any of the aspects that I need actually dropping. 1 so far and that dropped last night…about to hit clvl 60 so will go and do pit 10 to unlock t1. Item RNG drops has been truly horrid for me with this build in s12 and I’m just continuously getting garbage rolls that are of no use to the build…
