Ghishzor not spawning in phase 2, bug? (Xbox EU)

SkaiFaith · October 27

We reached phase 2 but this boss is not spawning, waiting since 45 minutes ago. How often does it spawn? Is it bugged?

Syldras · October 27

I think I saw a message somewhere that it's not supposed to spawn before update 48, for some reason. Which means it will probably not spawn before phase 3 is reached anyway.

Thank you for the reply!

Still, I don't get it, why, but ok XD

Because he spawns in Eastern Solstice.

The world boss map symbol is just west of the camp and exactly where we could fight him at the very beginning of the Writhing wall event. (And it's marked as completed for me)

But he's not even supposed to appear there? I have no words

He was accessible at the beginning of the event in a somewhat broken state, instead of fixing they removed him outright in an incremental patch and shifted him to u48. So it will be able to spawn on console only after they're getting the new patch, not earlier no matter the phase they're in.

Why would he spawn there at the start of phase 2, which means at a time when no one can have access to East Solstice yet? At least that was the original plan.

What's different about Phase 2 anyway? I haven't been there yet since it started yesterday.

My server isn't there yet, but phase 2 was announced as:
- a few new crafting dailies
- several dolmens active at once
- a new world boss (though that one won't spawn before update 48 now, which means November 12 when phase 2 is likely over anyway)

Phase 3 will give access to the Writing Fortress and when the first people defeated the end boss there (which probably will take 20, 30 minutes at most if there's an okay number of people around - even much faster if it's prime time and there are masses), official access to East Solstice should start.

'Official', this made me chuckle

I've heard half of the population is already on the other side anyway, some of them involuntarily.

Yeah people are doing content there and materials are probably flooding the markets now.

I hope we get an official statement that it's okay or not. It's an unintentional very easy to get bug. I experienced it myself and have now a fast travel point unlocked over there. And the more people are in there, the more people will experience the bug since people fast travel all the time in Solstice for the dailies.

Everything will be spoiled soon now with people playing the second part of the zone anyway.

I also don't think this is an easy server side hotfix. By the time they make, test and deploy a patch it will probably be at least days anyway.

Ok combat balance issues, ok animation issues, but this... This is funny XD didn't know it, lmao

Yeah I think all they can do now as a hotfix is to switch off the wayshrines, probably something that should have already been done. People are using Beam me Up and finding themselves exploring the new area. When they get there it's busy with others doing the same. The whole situation is degenerating into a farce now.

This happened because of a bug in phase one where the boss spawned too early. But the fix had to be paired with Update 48 due to timing. So that is why the boss is not spawning right now and will not until U48. We know this was not ideal, but was the only way to fix the core bug that came up in phase one.

This is [snip]. That means that for us on console the only change between phase 1 and 2 is what? An alchemy writ for another blue dagger of [snip]? Re-bug him!

I wish there was a way for these new updates to be tested properly on a live server. I don't think the PTS instances are the best type of an environment to be tested in. Lots of bugs and issues that appear in the live server when we get them, then we as players beta test the content that we pay for to be complete. Which doesn't make sense to me.

I appreciate the hard work that goes into the weeks/months after an update to fix these issues. But would be nice to not have a list of issues to be fixed before we need to run to the forums to let you guys now that there is an issue. Several times it has been a core feature of an update. We seen it during the subclass update, where players weren't able to complete the subclass intro quest. I think it was fixed after a month or so. But that type of bug shouldn't have been present on a core feature.

This whole event makes me want to give up on the game after 10 years. They just don’t care about anything but the crown store. Any bug with the store gets patched instantly.

If that was the case, wouldn't it have been better to just leave it enabled? Like the bug was just that it was working, wasn't it?

Exactly. "We don't want you to have it in phase 1 so now you can't have it til phase 3" is a ridiculous way to fix it. As always they only care about PC who got it on time, and us console players aren't even an afterthought

Unless it bugged, Ghishzor only gives loot to the top damage players I didn't see a chest anywhere.So on a low level character, there no point in dealing with a 20MM boss with mechanics except for the achievement.
