"siege of orgrimmar" broken?

In the “siege of orgrimmar” raid, once you clear The Siegeworks, you can’t seem to get to Siegecrafter Blackfuse. I’ve read that you should jump into 1 of the 3 large tubes, but when you jump into any of them it doesn’t lead anywhere. There is a floor inside the pipe, and you just get stuck about 15’ down the pipe with no way to get back out. You then have to Hearth out, or use the Support character stuck option.

yeah it’s not working At all

Still happening.

Still happening now you just get thrown back and cannot fight boss. Bugged as this stops any progression in raid.

I can confirm this is still happening. First set of trash spawns outside the pipes, and we kill it no problem. Everything suddenly despawns. Second set pops up, we kill it. The Bombs, the entire time, appear, stand there where they spawn and simply target us. If we don’t kill them, they just despawn. If we do kill them, another spawns 10-15 seconds later. This continues indefinitely. Even after a ‘soft reset’ where we leave for 30+ min and return later to try again.

I, too, am having his problem. It makes it very hard to get the shoulder transmog (which is one that I’m sure many players want). Blizzard, I can guarantee that MANY more are having this problem, because getting to make this report has been the WORST HASSLE ever! I had to go through so many links from inside the game, to outside the game, to all over this website. The hassle alone will keep people from reporting this problem, and therefore you should be fixing it. I know it’s old content, but it’s still a part of the game. Thank you.

The Blackfuse fight has always been temperamental but it does feel like it recently got worse.

They have a general policy that they aren’t going to spend a ton of time tweaking old raids for soloers and we have to deal with what happens but I have certainly done this fight dozens of times and I can tell when it is different.

My recent experience is pretty much like Shirayuri’s:

Except, that I have so far been able to do a soft reset each time and eventually successfully proceed. But, having an unavoidable soft reset every run is pretty onerous.

General advice for people, never touch the Bombs. They can’t hurt you, but they can hurt your run. Pretend they aren’t there.

When a pack despawns, back up and wait. It’ll come back.

Shazzra seems to be the real flaky part when I do it. I never know whether to target her or her pack first, and I usually seem to guess wrong. Perhaps there isn’t a right answer at the moment.

They allow you to skip to the end, for me, this was the best solution. I long since have every transmog I seek from the zone, only thing still needed was the mount.

Update: As of 2/14/2024 I am the proud owner of said mount.
