LAST BOSS OF ICP DUNGEON IS STILL BROKEN - DUNGEON IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPLETE UNLESS YOU HIT THE LOTTERY

magus.septim

Queued up for random vet today, get into vICP. The group was stuck on the last boss of course. I did 3 attempts out of respect and then bailed. Lass boss is near impossible to complete since the x button doesnt work most of the time when you fall thru the portal. This has been going on for months, since at least March, and there have been other posts about it on the forums.

I was in last night and the group only had a few hiccups up until the final boss. It's incredibly annoying to hit that synergy to save yourself and have it not trigger. It's a death you can't avoid if the game chooses to bug out on you and you will just eat a death. If it happens to one or maybe two players, you can recover. If it hits 3 players you will likely wipe.

Like the OP says, you're at the mercy of RNG right now until that synergy gets fixed. Sure, you can bring enough dps to skip that phase, but you can't just magically grow 20k more group dps if your group doesn't have it. Mechanics are meant to be done, not bugged and force deaths on the group.

Hopefully ZOS can have this fixed by the next update.

Yes, we would have 2 or 3 ppl die every single portal phase, and 1 guy would be alive trying to spend the next 5 minutes trying to rez anyone.

Did it last night with Guildies on Normal. Several things were glitched and we were getting massive Ping spikes. One attempt on the last Boss resulted in phantom AOE bombs dropping but no other game mechanics including the Boss returning. We decided to purposely wipe to see if it fixed it. It appeared to, however the Boss was stuck at 47% health and nothing we could do would do further damage. After the second such suicide wipe we got lucky and were able to burn him down before any further glitches could occur. It is seriously broken, apparently has been for sometime, and no apparent resolution in sight from ZOS. SNAFU.

I farmed this recently..seemed fine to me. PS4 NA

Same here. The synergy isn't working properly. Let's hope this gets fixed with the changes to synergies in Greymoor.

To the people in here saying it's fine, ya'll do realize ZOS are fixing the bug in the next patch right? You think they're just randomly going to add commentary in the patch notes about something that isn't broken?

I completed it yesterday on HM.
It doesn't work about 50% of the time.
It is more about RNG.

Icy_Waffles

Had no issues completing it with 6 characters yesterday.

static_recharge

Did it on hard mode yesterday with guildies. Only a few times it didn't work for some people in the group. Seemed to work more often than not, but it is still frustrating. Good thing we weren't going for no death or something like that.

The crown store works though

Did any of you try to spam X while falling or just hit it once or twice?

Varana

The bracing has a visible effect (and audio cue, I think) when you hit it. And even though I got this confirmation, I died from falling down.
That happened once or twice, so it's more random and chances are that you'll eventually be lucky and get a working synergy, but it really sucks for no-death attempts, and unnecessarily prolongs the fight.

red_emu

Did you forget to buy X button tokens in Crown Store?

ArielSira

When our group was dying from this messed up mechanic (ie dying after confirmation of the brace), one of the team members said to constantly hit X throughout the entire drop. Once we did that it worked everytime so whenever I see this bug thread pop up I wonder if it would work for you all as well.

That said I'll be happy when they fix finally fix it, it ruined our no death run and haven't tried since.

Shantu

I can confirm the same. PC/NA. Lot's of weird non-functioning, out-of-sync stuff going on these days. Frustrating, but it doesn't do much good to bash the dev team though. Hope you used the in-game bug reporter /bug.

Confirmed for PS4 EU since weeks now.
From a skilled game, ESO is deteriorating into a SERVER GAMBLE.
Synergies, Skills, even Blocking now sometimes is not working anymore.

Brace spam is the goto for my regular pledge group too. Its a reliable workaround, but far from how it is meant to be. If mechanics depend on this type of late 90s QTE, they should work as designed, not require players to hash together a means to fool it.

Kurat

Zos knows about it and said it will be fixed next patch. It's in pts natch potes.

MilwaukeeScott

Hit "jump" just before you hit the ground. It really works.

Universe

Clicking mouse left click(i.e attack button) before clicking X can help you.
It reduced the number of times this bug has occurred to me.
