Guys, you are the worst. Literally the worst video games company. Worse than EA Games.
How does this stuff pass your 'testing' procedures? I'll tell you how. Because you don't give a damn & you just change the code without doing a run through the trial to check things.

This might be fixed sometime in 2022.

It's things like this that make me question if ZOS even has a QA team.

This isn't some obscure bug that is difficult to reproduce.

This would have been caught had the team simply run the trial. ZOS should know by now that anytime they change something unrelated to trials they end up screwing up trials somehow. So you'd think they would at least run through the trials after making changes to see if they messed something up.

Can we expect this to be fixed before Elsweyr? @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_Finn

Not happy Jan.

This bug is a huge problem.
The entire trial will be unbeatable yes?
Good luck trying to kill pinnacle boss with enraged spheres up.

I think someone else needs to make a thread about this & they will see it and reply. They have obviously got me on mute for all the threads i've made about the problems in time trials and them ignoring the problems with the game. It is cowardly and discourteous.

Perhaps that is true @Kilnerdyne , I´ve seen Finn in Fengrushs twitch Chat and when I asked about this he told me that Zos is aware and investigating it.

Hi everyone,

Thank you for bringing the issue with the first boss in Halls of Fabrication to our attention. We are temporarily turning off access to the Trial on the PC/Mac servers due to this issue. We are testing a fix this week and will keep you updated on when we expect to reopen the Halls of Fabrication Trial.

Thank you for your patience!

Kilnerdyne

No comment on the lack of testing for this?
Do you release the PTS server and hope that we, the community, find the bugs before it goes live?
Is there not an in-house testing team with godmode that runs through the trial after making changes?

Time Trials are your end-game PvE content. The problems with trials have been abandoned for so long people's view of your company has flatlined beyond repair & so many good people and players have left this game, not because they've finished everything, but because they are bored with waiting for you to wake up and realise it.

Ive completed vhof like 20 times in the past 3 weeks. Bugged or not I enjoy the content, challenge, the camaraderie. Your frustration is warranted, but I don't think that your assessment is correct about the endgame raid community.

Kilnerdyne

We're currently raiding it Monday, Wednesday & Sunday and have been for the last 2 months. I agree it's one of the more interesting time trials but it also has by far the most problems of any trial and the sentiments I made about the testing of content are surely most true in this trial. They don't play through their own content because the problems are so incredibly obvious to anyone that does, like us players.

We know the people with the most patience from the endgame community because they're still here and most have some hope for the future (not me clearly), but the community this game COULD have had... it's such a waste!

Here are some other issues to fix whilst you're closing Halls of Fabrication:

Veteran Halls of Fabrication - Assembly General: Calefactors resetting spontaneously
Veteran Halls of Fabrication - Archcustodian: 1st wave of mobs spawn directly on the boss
Veteran Halls of Fabrication - Reassembly Commitee: Ruined Factotums reposition after spawning
Veteran Halls of Fabrication - Archcustodian: stuck in combat
Veteran Halls of Fabrication - Pinnacle Factotum: Lightning AOEs upstairs invisible

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom Can we expect this to be fixed on patch maintenance – March 4?
Thanks

Kilnerdyne

She's already replied once in this thread I doubt she'll do it again. It'll be the 1 fix & all the other problems with the trial will still be there.
