Lightless Cell Bugged?

Shad0wfire99

Other than not being able to see any beams of any kind in the game currently, has anyone else noticed the prisms in the Lightless Cell resetting themselves about half way through trying to release the Ayleid King? Seriously, these bugs are getting ridiculous.

What you take as resetting is likely you overshooting the turns. Since the beams can't be seen and people tend to not notice the little nub showing which way the invisible beam is facing and said nub isn't updating smoothly as you turn the crystal it can easily be turned one too many times if you spam activate. Wait a bit between turns and all should be well.

No this quest is VERY VERY bugged, having completed it two times before it mysteriously changed into what it is now...

The light beam CONSTANTLY turns off (seemingly not all the way) sometimes after about 5 seconds, and you can only get it to come back on by going to the last lit prism and spinning it completely around in a circle again until the beam reconnects.

Someone mentioned in my guild if you look straight down at a prism from above you can see a faint glow on one side of the prism where the light beam is 'supposed' to be and use that to complete it, but I was already passed it at that point so haven't been able to try it. Definitely in no hurry to rush and get there again, terrible quest now.

Well the last time I checked the only issue with this quest was the invisible beams bug, and by checked I mean I actually experienced it helping a friend do it. Unless something changed between now and then there is no real issue.

Yep. By the time you get to the third prism, the lights just go off. You have to go back to the first, and turn it all the way around again for them to light back up.

BTW, looking down from above does work. There's a small pulse on the side of the crystal where the beam would normally be.

This ^

You can see which direction the crystal is pointing doing the above.

Yes this quest has been bugged - the beams didn't turn themselves off back in the old days like they do now. It's listed as an issue in the knowledge base.

Changing your view to watch the bulging of the lights from above works though.

I can see the nub without looking down from above though lol

Also you can look at the facets on the sides, the one that outputs the beam has a / on it, the others have multiple lines.

Why necro a thread that hasn't had a reply in over a month just to say that? If you had stated the problem was still persisting then the necro might've held merit.

Maybe because the crystals are still reseting themselves and crashing my game? Which was why I ran a search for this quest being bugged. Be constructive or be reported for trolling.

It's not trolling to point out you revived an old thread without being clear as to why. Your post could have included the fact you were experiencing that issue to avoid any confusion and thus make your post appear non-constructive.

RogueShade

Or you could use logic and deduce that I only found the thread by searching since it was a month old and oh hey why was I searching? Because it's broken but then going by your comments earlier in the thread you've never suffered from the restart problem. Ignoring you now.

You cannot honestly expect people to automatically assume you are still having problems just because you necro'd a thread you were searching for with a comment that had no relation to your issue. If you are having an issue then explain your issue, don't try to butter up an old thread by beating around the bush.

This bug has been fixed. It's already have been pushed to PC and should make it to consoles next week with Orsinium.

Your version of fixed must be different than mine then. Its only fixed when ALL PLATFORMS are fixed, next week according to your comment.

And.. no.. a thread from a month ago is FAR from a necro thread, when the issue is still active.

I never said necroing a thread means the thread is useless lol just that the reason for necroing should be plainly valid is all.

You are technically correct. A dev's definition of fixed is "We have fixed the code for this internally," meaning there is nothing more for the devs to do. A consumer's version of fixed is "It works now," which is something different
