Castle Thorn is *Still* Bugged

Evan4lmighty
I know this has been ongoing for a while now - going on 5 years from what I’ve seen in other forum posts. My dungeon group and I have had to skip Castle Thorn trifecta because we have consistently inconsistent issues with the circle during bat sworn when fighting Lady Thorn. The circle visually stays in place on the screen for some people, while it moves fine for others. It will randomly start moving again, just for it to freeze a few seconds later. It is IMPOSSIBLE to get the trifecta achievement, as well as Guardian Preserved, without all members of the group being able to see the circle. I have seen a dev reply to most of these forum posts with a “we have passed this issue onto our team,” yet it still exists years later. Is there any update on when this dungeon will actually be fixed so that players are able to get their achievements?

    If you follow the people for whom the circle is moving it is possible to get it done. That's how I got the trifecta, as this aspect of the fight has been broken for several years. I've submitted bugs and posted multiple times to the forums over these years, necroing my own threads unintentionally I might add.

    An additional bug I've noticed is the first boss is unable to be targeted by any single target attack, including any taunt. Good times. Will they ever fix this place? Unlikely.

    Also yes, supposedly you can reset your cache before the fight to avoid the issue. But who is doing that in the middle of a trifecta?

    You shouldn't have to rely on a groupmate standing perfectly in the center of the moving circle, all while avoiding dive, the guardian, and other mechanics. It's almost like, after years, the mechanic should either be fixed or changed.

    @ZOS_Kevin @ZOS_Gina I know you guys have been tagged in posts like this many times, but is there an actual chance this gets fixed?

    Something that I find absolutely hilarious (or just sad) is that not only has this mechanic not been fixed after nearly 5 years of being broken after literally hundreds if not thousands of bug reports it's obvious they don't do enough testing of new content because when Lady Thorn was ported to Infinite Archive the bug can now occur there as well. I even remember Rich Lambert acknowledging the bug on a stream years ago...

    Try moving the thread to your dev team's bug fixing section instead! THERE IS NO THING THAT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN FIXING BUGS.

    When a bug like this has been around for five years, it's simply unacceptable to allow it to continue.
