Is anyone else experiencing odd Blink/Shimmer bugs in Necrotic Wake? To my knowledge I am only experiencing it in that dungeon. When you blink strait forward, you are shot off to one side at an angle, and short distance. And no, this is not an “Arcane Momentum” toggle issue. I’ve been playing mage for over a decade, I know how blink is supposed to work. And it’s only in this dungeon. I took a video to show. I am walking strait forward, blink, and end up off to the right side. It happens all over the dungeon and has caused my death on a couple occassions.

Not sure if this is a Shimmer thing because I run Blink and have no issues in that dungeon. What drives me crazy is the apparent Frost aggro bug. Also, in that room, there’s a chair you can sit on which is lazily named something like CH_Necro_01_Chair which also annoys me

lol I thought I was just terrible. I said it was bugged but everyone was convinced I was just bad and I believed them rofl. I mean I get that hook thing I’m hard programmed to blink to where I need to go and I always wound up in them middle of no where and I’m like I guess I’m higher than I thought was. I knew this was bugged and it was blinks fault.

Thank god it’s not just me, I did both heroic and mythic tonight and the same thing happened in stitchflesh’s room and also along the bottom part of rimeflesh, it just boots you in an odd direction. I use shimmer and arcane momentum and haven’t found it to be an issue in any other dungeon
I was SO confused last night. I thought I was doing something wrong.

There seems to be something really wrong with the Necropolis in the sky for this dungeon. After doing a bunch of tests, it causes blink to teleport you at a 90 degree angle if you are moving. It also does something similar with Door of Shadows for Venthyr people, as where you teleport to, it faces your character again, 90 degrees to the side. As for the Night Fae Soulshape ability’s blink, this also teleports them to the side, assuming at a 90 degree angle, but it was a friend who experienced it.
Overall, it’s not something specific to mages, but seems to be something about the Necropolis/location, and teleports. I’m curious if Warrior Heroic Leaps do anything weird, or any other sudden movement abilities. I experience this issue anywhere within the Necropolis, but on the ground everything is fine.

I ran a lot of Plaguefall this week and in some spots when I Blink it actually makes me step like slightly backwards…
It was legitimately making me very angry tonight. The whole Stitchface area, missed a chain because instead of blinking forward it decided to send me backwards. Got teleported on last boss too and as I’m making my merry way down the ice hall shimmer decides to take me backwards. I get that they have issues and don’t really know how to fix bugs with Blink, but it can actually be very punishing. The worst had to be Talok in Uldir on his elevator ride—blink sent me hurdling through the elevator and somehow into Mother’s room on a pull. You genuinely got to love Mage it’s just such a blast all the time. /s

it’s arcane momentum issue, been going on forever with non-ground platforms you’re on…liek elevators. same issue back on taloc in uldir, pause movemtn before blinking and it’ll usually not do that junk
Can confirm this is a huge frustration and has been an issue ever since the dungeon came out. It only seems to happen on the flying necrolord thing. I will blink but go a totally different direction.
I can also confirm that this is indeed an issue when running shimmer and the momentum buff that moves you in the direction you are moving. I have not tried it without this buff. I also want to point out that there is also an issue with the Frost Mage Glacial Fragments legendary in the Necropolis not properly triggering on nps inside blizzard. This only seems to occur in the necropolis and is find for everywhere else in the dungeon.
This has still not been fixed. On mythic, this literally makes the boss mechanics close to impossible.
I thought I was going crazy because I’ve noticed this as well.
Still broken Dec 26, 2020
