Re: Writhing fortress broken?
Can we please get a confirmation the event will be extended? This would go a long way to helping right now.
We are discussing some options, and we'll have an update early next week. We need to dig into what is possible with how the event is set up, so it's not something I could personally answer today.
As a general note to everyone, we do see your posts here and acknowledge the ongoing issues you are reporting and the frustration they are causing. While we do have folks continuing to look into these issue over the weekend, it's unlikely we will have any fixes until Monday at the earliest.

Additional one for the list.
PC-EU has multiple Fortress instances that are bugged on escorting the Infernium. At the last Mystical Barrier before the West boss encounter, after the barrier has been taken down, the Infernium does not advance.

I can confirm that the workaround "drop "the worm turns" quest" for Skordo does actually work. Fortunately I just had taken that quest without actually starting it.

Re: Writhing fortress broken?
I was in one of the first runs when it went live for NA/PC, after accidentally logging in just as the Stage 3 popped; Did they just boost it the last 20% or so? Anyway, I got to see the whole run that time, but it must be a nightmare for those with disabilities, as the mechanics are exceptionally confusing; if I didn't have sound on, and heard the NPC explain to get parts, I'd have never found out how to use the siege weapons repairs barrels. I don't think I even saw what you had to do under all the particle effects on the first stage on the left hand path.
I tried running a good friend through it today, and we went right at first, and because it's effectively a public dungeon, a group was far ahead of us and we missed the first element of the fight I think. My friend got fed up with the endless grinding fights, and the final boss disappeared after leaping into the air around 25% done... people hung around for about half an hour, when I had to force close down the client via Task Manager as I couldn't get out of combat to log out.
Very, very anticlimactic end, really.

I have finished this quest twice now. The first time I got the "Wall breaker" title but on neither occasion did I receive the in-game achievement and memento. Of course I do not know if that is expected or yet another bug.
Bye
Hi @Brodson! Could you check if you have completed the quest called "Crossing the Wall"? The "Wall Breaker" title is different, and triggered by completing the Writhing Fortress. The achievement and memento you are referring to are awarded for completing the Western Solstice main story quests and the "Crossing the Wall" quest. It is not awarded after completion of the Writhing Fortress.
Hi.
I have now completed the crossing the wall quest three times and the achievement for finishing is still not registered.
Because it has not registered I have no idea is this is a bug or not but this time the quest was performed
on the character that had completed to zone story and there is no difference.
Thanks

Re: Wardens Charm is gamebreaking.

Just like rush of agony.
They should just add the charm mechanic to roa and be done with it. I mean, at this point combat is so bad, why not.

Absolutely wrong.
Any boss fight is always (with rare exceptions) a matter of survival, not damage. A damaging tank has a much better chance of killing a boss solo than a DD with the "highest damage output in the game."
This is why ESO (and other modern games) doesn't have such a thing as "endgame group content". Because "endgame group content" isn't about your gear and the numbers above the head, but about "the coordinated work of many people" (that's why 24-ppl and 40-ppl raids were the hardest). This is why the first raids in such games were always static and required knowledge of the boss's script (aka game mechanics). You didn't even have to kill the boss; getting him down to 2-3% health was enough.
I would like to know how many trifectas you have if any, because I have a strong feeling you have no idea about ESO pve at all
Re: What Are People Doing With Their PvE Sorcerers?
Oh my god. In a game where trials affect the gameplay as much as fishing, you not only decided that your part of the game is the only one, but even in that part, you justify skipping game mechanics... And all these to feel how great you are?lostineternity wrote: »I would like to know how many trifectas you have if any, because I have a strong feeling you have no idea about ESO pve at all
If I told you I've never went raids in ESO, would that satisfy your "orange" ego?
That is, none, as expected. Carefully read the title of the topic and the question of the person who created it.
You are talking absolute nonsense that has nothing to do with ESO, and I also see in you a complete lack of understanding of combat mechanics and buildcrafting. There is no need for comparisons with other games here, because we are talking exclusively about ESO.
I don't see any point in communicating further.
Re: Writhing Fortress was excellent, however....
It was excellent for the fortunate players who did the very first run; very much bugged for everyone else.
I was part of the first run and even that was bugged.

Re: PS5/NA - Where is Skordo?
PS-NA- I already finished Worm Turns and was at the point to start the second quest, and abandoned it after completing the fortress, Skordo still not showing up. I've relogged, left the zone, tried picking up the second quest again, leaving the zone and abandoning it, still no Skordo...
