The Voidmother boss in Markarth is not giving credit for completion so the daily for it, "What's Hers is Ours" cant be completed.

    It's being killed to quickly. Now there are number of people having fun trolling the people on the quest.

    I have seen bosses melt but as long as you get a hit in you at least get credit.
    You might not get loot but you get credit for the kill, which is the main issue.

    Apparently there is a mechanic that won't let the quest complete or give the achievement if the boss is killed too fast - which it always is because there are huge hordes of players melting the main boss before she can do much.

    I'm going to be a bit critical here.
    Honestly the fact that someone though that this was a good mechanic period to place into a game, with an achievement attached and a daily quest... is a really stupid idea.

    It's swarmed with people who don't listen nor care after 5 attempts I've given up and will come back later.
    As someone really excited for the void crystal, getting at this point is just impossible. Fancy mechanics are fun, but not one that is literally "WAIT".

    Things are getting pretty heated at this spawn location! Just had a guy whisper me and tell me to kill myself for asking everyone to show restraint and not instant kill it. "kill urslef, its a free game we do what we want"

    Agreed, It shows they don't really play the game the same way their customers do. Any experienced player would immediately recognize this is a bad design choice for a WB.

    We seem to get everyone present on board with the idea of waiting, and every single time a new person shows up right as the boss is spawning and attacks immediately :|

    Boss still not giving credit. Waited for her to fully spawn several times and still nothing. I think part of the issue is where the wb marker is, the boss is not located at it

    Trial like mechanics in a WB is fine, as long as it is clear to players what to do.

    In this case it is not clear, and is very different from every other WB in the game were players just have to kill them.

    The level of rage in chat, is such that I have not seen before in any game.

    Is the level of rage at all surprising when you consider that the server has now been populated by absolute idiots who can't for just one second show restraint, and actually for the time being at least just kill the adds only.

    i stood by this today 16+ attempts.. every time boss was killed. i give up, i really do, and i can honestly say I hate this dlc.. its joke

    You can't expect people to wait when you don't need to wait at any other world boss in the game. Not only that only the top 12 dps get loot from world bosses so of course people are going to burn it because they want to get on the loot table. If it's intended it's just bad design, it's not the fault of other players.

    what is the mechanic you're supposed to wait for?

    I've seen her summon that full circle and kill everyong like 4 or 5 times in a single encounter and still no credit. So what else does she do that's bugging this as some people have claimed to have gotten credit.

    I think people that have gotten credit just got lucky. No special mechanics, no secret boss to be summoned, and no having to kill 6 rounds of adds before killing her or whatever other things suggested in zone chat. It's just bugged and some got lucky. There was a WB in N.Elsweyr that had the same thing happen when it first came out.

    Most fo these people are just used to all pro gamers nuking down bosses at dolmen so casuals can´t gain loot, so everyone is desperate to get as much damage before the boss is gone... I frankly can relate to "There he is, kill before I won´t get a hit"... it´s a bad idea and the quote "Working on a fix" by ZOS is suggesting that it really is bugged

    Still broken!!
    I was just in a large group, we all left the boss alone to do its thing, but it only took 1 or 2 other people in the zone to ruin it and kill the boss before it could do its thing. So not quest completion and no boss achievement completion. Something needs to be done. This is so stupid.

    Any word that patch for this might drop? this Monday perhaps? It's impossible to complete the quest or even get the achievement as it is now....

    HERE IS THE WORKAROUND UNTIL THIS GETS FIXED:
    Have someone throw on a taunt and kite the Voidmother far enough that the fight resets. After that you can do it as normal and everyone should get credit. It is janky but I have tried this on several different characters and it has worked every time.

    Shout out to whoever figured this out (it wasn't me), I'm just trying to get the word out so we can all stop screeching at eachother about how to do the fight.

    Main is Blue-Thuxis, a Argonian stamSorc, whose also is a werewolf! 2nd main, Cobalt-Thuxis, a Argonian stamArc, an identical twin sister to Blue-Thuxis, even is a werewolf as well! some alts:
    Nirn-Scale Rajthux (Argonian, Templar), Ros-Ei Nature-Thuxis (Argonian, Warden), Crimson-Thuxis (Argonian, DK), Bone-Thuxis Tharn (Argonian, Necro) Why Bone-Thuxis has Tharn as a last name:
    The siblings were separated at a young age due to a Dres slaver raid, Blue, Cobalt, Ros-Ei & their mother were able to escape, Crimson & Bone weren't that lucky. Crimson was later "rescued" by some Orcs that later ambushed the House Dres Dunmers, unfortunately one Dunmer remained & sadly successfully brought the young Bone-Thuxis to the Dres plantation. Later an Imperial, a Tharn, bought Bone at a auction & later told he was free, the young Argonian sadly had no idea where to go & doesn't know if his family was still alive, so the Tharn adopted him into House Tharn. This family of Argonians finally reunited years later.

    That's okay you didn't steal my thunder. I'm just some guy who just there recording at the time. lol The real person who done the hard work was the person who discovered the workaround in the first place. I just read about it in chat & waited to see if it was true or not, & it was true!
