whether the bonus (visually) stays up, or not, does not matter. Plenty of kills with the bonus up when mob dies, but… nada. and just as many where the bonus poofs for no reason.
Xmas break starts for many tonight (devs too, generally) - let’s hope this gets resolved. ASAP.
I’m willing to bet it has nothing to do with boss location or charging, and its simply bugged and initiating a reset and restart event (from town map) much earlier than it should be.
The indie company allegation start to fit
They’ve known about this bug since Tuesday and it STILL hasn’t been fixed? Why???
They must be spending all their time trying to figure out how best to make Brewmasters even worse for season 2.
Congratulations on making yet another thing that was supposed to be fun feel awful instead. The worst part is you can get the gems, if you’re just ever so lucky, leading to loads of people spending time attempting in vain. Please fix this botch ASAP - people are going to be on vacation and want to enjoy this.
Happening to me too hopefully they can hotfix it.
Still bugged, what is the point of doing siren isle if the events for the gem upgrades are broken. Very frustrating.
Even better bug … we had the stupid boss down to ~15-20% and it reset - threw us out and reset - FIVE CONSECUTIVE TIMES … did not matter where the damn boss was in the cave, no charge just insta out the cave … horrible
Still broken.
Blizzard, this ring is the center piece of the patch. Fix it. The only think you’re doing is aggravating people.
I’m over this until they fix it, 20 attempts on both factions tanking and dpsing it yelling and making sure everyone knows what to do on both factions, just isn’t worth my effort.
It does seem like the cave-in message triggers prematurely. I noticed the objective/reward disappeared shortly after this and nobody got the citrine. Definitely a bug that needs to be fixed.
The objective marker is miss-aligned with the position of the cave, which means the boss (who charges frequently and does a large knockback so he ends up everywhere) can out range the bonus objective marker very easily. This can cause the objective to despawn resulting in no objective reward for the kill, or it can cause the encounter to reset, kicking all players out of the cave and restarting the event.
TLDR on how to consistently do the gem :
And you got your gems
If stalagnarok charges too close to the entry of the cave then the objective disappears from the map and the citrine isnt rewarded, try to group with someone of the opposing faction and coordinate with others to stand at the back to bait the charge.
On top of that after a minute passes the cave will start to collapse and you will be booted from the cave, so bring some big pumping dps.
I was able to finally finish the event twice in a row.
We did it by just nuking the boss down very, very quickly, before the event had a chance to despawn.
Nothing else worked, as far as moving the boss or reseting him, etc.
Nuking him FAST seemed to work, though. Kept seeing the event despawn at about 20% when people we trying to be careful and keep him from moving around just 'cause that meant he was staying alive long enough for the bug to despawn the event.
Or we just got really lucky, or Blizzard fixed it.
Seen so many “strategies” but I have been in groups where there was no charge to entrance, tanked on either side in back, no taunting, dps checked, etc and none have worked. Also seen where right when you enter the cave before even pulling the boss that the cave collapse warning goes off, which appears to negate the drop. So, Fairly certain there is no one way to fix it that’s certain at this point.
I am so over the Siren Isle. I’ve already wasted countless hours trying to farm content that was broken on Day 1 and has yet to be fixed. Now, after many, many, many rekills of the same event to farm the Citrines I actually needed, I am totally done with this island. Want to show your paying customers you actually appreciate them? Send everyone a gift on Christmas Day in their mailbox that says “Sorry, we actually care about your gaming experience” with an item that gives us the completed ring ilvl upgrade so we don’t have to go back to this stupid island for the next six weeks to max out a very underwhelming ring and be reminded of how bad the experience is. Seriously, I don’t want to visit this island again, I don’t even care about the mount anymore because I spent all my time trying to farm the stupid citrines I needed. I just want this island to be DONE and OVER. Please unlock it so I don’t have to go back, I’m begging you!
It took a couple tries, but was able to get it to happen. Better with a warlock, use imp to initiate aggro, the NPCs can pull threat off it, summon blueberry (voidwalker), taunt and pull. Was able to get 2nd gem this way.
Just have tanks and most of group of players near the rock wall, if he leaps too far he’ll reset back down
I keep restarting the event at the map, and even when I don’t get a collapsing cave notification, the event itself disappears mid-fight, and I don’t get the fathomdweller’s.
This is just a VERY poorly designed event. You put a boss in a tiny arena, that randomly charges around inside it, with an entrance to the outside. In a large group of people SOMEONE is going to be standing near the entrance when they are targeted. I they lead him out he will reset.
If you want a boss in a cramped space charging around, have the people teleported in, so that they can’t kite him out of bounds. All it takes is one charge too close to the exit and you will get this.
