Yes, then there was a ‘fix’ that made things worse: used to be her freezing ability (‘Stay!’) would not work at all, then, after the ‘fix’, it would freeze characters even if they would not have not acted at all (I believe OG even had a separate video [1] about this) — which still persists, according to my most recent report above (the history of the issue is nice and all, but I primarily had the current status in mind, which is probably the most relevant matter here). I think we can consider at least this part confirmed, judging by the footage provided.
The older topic linked above has another reference with a decent description of other problems encountered, namely the inconsistent behaviour of bleed-related abilitites (it’s really hard to put one’s finger on what exactly is happening there… it’s been very strange and inconsistent) and ‘spurious icicles’ from the player’s minions. I’ve not tested this yet (as of 24.6+), although after the patch that was supposed to ‘fix’ the bounty the ‘spurious icicles’ dealing damage were still present. Oh, rereading my old reports, I’ve also noticed another one after that patch — Arcane Orbs on the wrong side of the field.
So, to sum up:
- Azshara’s ‘Stay!’ ability freezes characters which have not acted — still present, as seen in OG’s video
To be tested:
- Bleed-related enemy abilities are inconsistent.
- Tidemistress’s (Frost) abilities cause spurious ‘icicles’ emanating from the player’s minions and dealing damage to their characters.
- Arcane Orbs spawned on the wrong side of the board.
Maybe I’ll look into it one of these days — it’s been a while since I payed Azshara a visit… or at least there’s a list of issues to look out for, to begin with, since they have been known already, and at least one of them is still present in the current (or close enough… don’t remember the dates of hotfixes) patch. Maybe you’ll notice something else, but that was at least an attempt to list some of the known problems with that bounty systematically.
