I’ve done the last xpac time rifts twice now and nobody has received credit for killing the last boss/Fractured Casualty or received loot from it. I assume we are killing it before the encounter officially starts. There’s been 8-15 people in them.
Yeah… still farming my warlock pet skin, and the issue is if you do not hit the mob that dies instantly… you get no credit… just did the 2 in a row, 4pm and 5pm and got zero credit for the quest. Last week it took 2 tries… guess I will do again at 6pm and hope for the best.
Something needs to be done with the final mob HP, or you get credit if you made it into the final rift with the boss alive or something… its really a waste of time at this point otherwise…

Go there 2 minutes before the event ends (i.e. XX:13). Enter the portal. You will either get a new instance with only you in it, or one with the boss already dead. If it’s the latter, don’t panic. Get out. Reset all instances (there won’t be a message for anything being reset, but it does happen). Get back into the portal. You will get a new instance this time.
If you go there too early, and are in the instance when the boss dies, but have not attacked it (i.e. no credit), you still get the Rift Sickness buff and won’t get credit from a new instance either. You have to wait an hour. Which is why, if you just want the boss’s stuff, you’re better off going there after it’s already dead for the initial group.
EDIT: That is, of course, all assuming that you can solo the boss.

Interesting. Nice tip. Ill give it a try. I am certain I can in fact solo it.

been doing the same for my warlock too. the fix is really simple. Blizzard has other bosses that cannot be one shot. set these to not be able to get one shot with a 2 sec back off before it can take more damage. that gives everyone there time to hit the boss and get credit.

That’s way too much effort for very little gain, I’m afraid. The only bona fide bug here is applying Rift Sickness to everyone in the zone instead of only those that got credit for the kill.

Also experienced a similar issue recently, used up the buff from my Greater Encapsulated Destiny on my alt, can’t even get the item refunded.

It should be a simple fix. Keep the boss dps the same and let the boss take 95% less damage for the first 5 seconds so people can at least tag it.
