Summerset Keelsplitter WB STILL Bugged

iiYuki

The boss takes no damage and wont attack anyone even when stood almost inside his character model. Immensely irritating considering I need it for "Defender of Summerset" achievement and the subsequent "Saviour of Summerset".
I hear of people who managed to do it but that isn't really helpful, its already a pain in the arse getting people to come do WB's, and when we get grouped up the boss is immortal and constantly resetting. I can find posts and people taking about this bug from nearly 3 weeks ago, this is really unacceptable at this point, I know I only pay the sub for the craft bag but I like to think our money goes to fixing and improving the game and not just paying someone to make more cash store exclusive crap. I submit a bug report each time it fails, the fact its a known issue for so long and NOTHING has been done is what bothers me the most.

It seems to have become bugged with Wolfhunter patch. Before it was OK, since I did the dailies on a character for a month between early June and early July and never encountered him like this. But when I returned on my other characters to also clear Summerset in mid August, I frequently encountered both bugs. I managed to do it on 3 characters, by returning at the spawn place multiple times and engaging him while he was not stuck, but I haven't been able to figure out what triggers the bug. I did see that he always resets on one of the jump points: either his HP bar resets while he's on the Eastern one, or he becomes stuck and endlessly resets on the Northern one. Possibly his hold aggro area has been made smaller to prevent kiting, and those points are now near or beyond its edge so he endlessly resets as a result.

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom can you please look into this?

This will be hit and miss. After the latest patch, Keelsplitter was working fine on PC/NA for several days. However, today, in the instance(version) of Summerset I was in, Keelsplitter is stuck as shown above.I'm guessing on re-start, all instances have a working Keelsplitter and over time it gets stuck in various instances until none are working.

Seems that way.

This has been broke since I first started playing. It’s instance specific and ZOS won’t see it on their internal test servers so they mark bug report as “cannot reproduce” and close it. Over. And over.

Programmers...... I’ve said it once. It’s offensive to programmer players out there. So I won’t say again they’re the biggest BSers of any profession in IT.

Well another week goes by and the boss is still bugged, I try multiple times a day now with no change. Either remove him from the Defender of Summerset achievement or fix him, ffs.

On my previous 4 Summerset clears I was able to clear Keelsplitter after multiple attempts, over several hours. At some point it would come unstuck and I was able to kill him for the achievements. But on my last 2 characters that have cleared Summerset I wasn't able to do this. I returned to the boss about 15-20 times over 2 days, on separate characters, after game restart/login, and each time it was stuck in exactly the same position. So it's clearly not instance specific, since multiple, most likely all instances are bugged. I think world bosses should have a fail safe mechanism, that resets their position and other attributes to default if nobody kills them for a period of a few hours. This would prevent them from being stuck forever in a certain position or loop.

Finally managed to do the boss on the remaining 2 characters for the achievement, since it was apparently unstuck. I don't know if the code was actually changed, or simply the processes were restarted by the server reboot, but in at least one instance the HP reset bug was still there. On one character I encountered it initially, with the boss going to the Eastern point, then recovering at full HP after doing one of its jumps and resetting; it happened 5-6 times in succession. I relogged and probably ended up in another instance, since there the boss worked fine. If you need the achievement do it while it lasts

For me it is still bugged 50% of the fights as he ports from left to right until he ports that far that he resets....

4 week anniversary, might just give up till I see it appear on the patch notes, sadly judging by ZO$'s response time it may be in a few years time. I'm sick of getting a group and he wont even activate or getting him to 50% and he resets.
I have better things to do that sit next to a WB hoping he might work this time.

Last time I was playing, maybe an hour ago or so, the PS4 NA server Keelsplitter boss was broken. It was broken yesterday too.

On console it took just over a month for them to patch the issue where the Gryphon world bosses were not spawning. Maybe this week's patch will be lucky for you.

Has this issue been acknowledged by someone at ZoS?

This has not appeared in Patch notes as far as I'm aware.

I saw were someone "Demanded" a fix and that thread was locked. It's almost as if it's not being fixed for petty spite. but that's SWAG speculation which there would be none of if there was ANY response about it to let the populace know what is going on. It's obviously not worthy of any response, per Spock mantra...

I just hate when it's my 1ST aggravation of the day when logging in and seeing Keelsplitter still broken/not fixed yet yet the quest is still given out...

Xbox na still not fixed. He has been bugged since wolf hunter and u would think with a 12g patch the other day this would have been addressed...

Keelsplitter still bugged after 3 weeks, no wonder the play base is dropping when the devs can't even be bothered to fix simple daily quests.............

Doesn't surprising me, they're more interested in making re-skins for the cash shop. Would be nice if they re-invested some of the money they make into fixing basic problems.

This was fixed in the incremental patch released on PC today (allegedly, I'm on console so can't confirm)! So, although no one from ZOS has stopped by to tell us they were aware of the issue, it seems they've fixed it.

Console will probably have to wait another 2+ weeks. Might get fixed when they do the HDR patch.

So far it seems to be fixed on PC, thank God, in fact I logged in as soon as I read your comment and got into an ongoing fight.

Sorry for the Necro. Is this boss still bugged?

I’ve crashed twice in the middle of combat.

Came back dead of course.

It's no longer bugged. Have been able to beat it on a few of my alts during the WB part of the current event.

This thread should be closed to avoid more necros.
