Kriegval's Rest "Corrupted Candles" Bug

Hey everyone,

When doing the delve “Kriegval’s Rest” during the story “Corrupted Candles” there is a bug when purifying the candles. When “Balga Wicksfix” is purifying the candle there is a chance it won’t count towards the objective and the model of the candle is not burning. This locks you out of completing the delve which is unfortunate.

I believe this is caused when you get into combat right when Balga is done purifying the candle. Most of the time this is an easy work around unless you have the “Haunted” affix during the delve. The Shadows spawn directly on the candles and there is no way of knowing when they will spawn next. So sometimes they will spawn right when the candle is supposed to have purified and will have it not count towards the objective.

There may be other things in play however, during the two times I tried this Delve at T9 I got frustrated and no longer wish to test this.

Hopefully other people will see this and either warn them away from it for the time being until it is fixed or find a way around it.

Thanks for listening and have a good day!

yeah this has now happened on two different characters. I watched one of the candles just now literally fizzle and not light. Unbelievable. It’s one of the bounty delves today too.

Blizz, how can you literally release untested stuff like this? Do you even QA, bro?

Do you even QA, bro?

They got rid of QA a while back. The players are now the QA department.

bump. This happened to me on a tier 11 and I can’t progress at 5/6 candles.

Blizz y’all can go cucumber yourselves for wasting over an hour of my time. Small indie company wastes our time part 28653

My candles are disappearing as soon as I pick them up. =( I can’t progress at all.

Thanks to Rawrsalot for posting Balga’s name. I was running this in a group of 3 and was able to put a mark on him. The fix was for ALL of us to be next to the candle. Only then did Balga do his job.
