Slayer of Death itself achievement- how?

This remembers me on the jubilee style page hunt back then. Did around 50 fissures without getting 1 of the new ones. At this point I call it a day, not really fun not worth my play time

I have a theory. Just hear me out. May be (just may be) the cultist are not able to build the devices quickly enough since so many heroes are dutifully destroying them. So, when the servers are rebooting, the cultists finally get a break and have time to build more.

Wait ... that would mean the server hamsters are in on it!

No, it was purely random. Sometimes Dark Fissures appeared, sometimes Soul Reapers appeared, sometimes none at all. However, I know a lot of spawn points.

Presently thought, no reapers appear. This was day of server reboot that you were getting reapers. Now, no reapers appear anywhere, even if you know and go to all the locations …

Those evil cultists managed to penetrate Mages' Guild defenses. Poor hamsters did not stand a chance.

You naysayers are right. I got two pretty quickly but nothing since. I'm parked on very out of the way fissures so a good fissure spawn rate (no waiting) I log onto toon but always fissures now.

I must've done about 10 yesterday in Stonefalls and no reapers for me. Do I need to be Commander Shepard to get them, or something?

For a while, I theorized the reason for ZOS's silence is that perhaps we're not getting this right and I don't expect them to tell us how to get the achievement. However, I double-checked this thread and many different people confirmed the bloody reapers spawn from dark fissures. So why this silence from the devs?

This reminds me of last year's jubilee, when countless people complained about drop rates and communication was equally muted. What could be understood from all the silence is that the rates were working as intended. Do the devs want us to believe this achievement is also "working" as intended? @ZOS_Kevin @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_RNGeesus

After being burned by last year’s Jubilee, I’m not even going to try this until I hear something positive from somebody.

You would think they would post something on this. They managed to take the time to fix an "OLD' quest 'Lizard Racing' on this morning's patch, but they cannot find the time to fix this or even tell us if it is working correctly or incorrectly!!! Being put on ignore 4 pages into a forum posting with no response is irresponsible, especially since we paid for this 'NEW' broken content.

Well, I guess their priorities are on the PTS and the Subclassing. They have a much bigger impact and might turn into a second Update 35 disaster.

This bug is annoying, but it can wait till Update 46 is done.

I guess we should just ignore this feature and come back in a month or two. No need to stress Kevin or Gina. They already have a lot to handle atm.

Definitely an annoying and persistent bug, made worse by the lack of any response from ZOS. As it is now, grind the reapers while you can after server reboot and then after a day wait until the next reboot. I have 6 of the skill style fragments and might be able to complete that after the next reboot. For the achievement I’m a little under halfway there, so probably next two reboots.

I get that the ZOS folks are busy with lots of PTS stuff and other things, but it would be nice and easy if someone could pop in here to at least tell us they’ve seen this thread. Wouldn’t take more than a minute to reply. My guess is they either don’t have the staffing to monitor these threads, they honestly don’t have a clue how to fix this or they don’t care enough about a paltry skill style and achievement to respond.

I do not understand when you all expect any response to your questions. This is the way that the game has been for a while now, no response from players questions about game play. Not one responses ever to what appears to be bug with the game.

IMHO they believe if they ignore it the players will just live with it as it is.

What I’ve been wondering is if these new little mini events have been added to the mini dolmens for the rest of the game’s existence, or are they just going to be live until 46 hits?

What makes you think that this issue is related or too taxing for regular business duties of U46?

Also, why would that even create commitment to it? The longer something is unaddressed, the higher the chance of it never actually getting addressed, ever.

I mean, currently they are not live. They become live for few hours each server reboot, then die down. So with that kind of function, it doesn’t sound like it would be taken out unless it was modified to work differently.

I don't understand all this rush... ok we know there is a bug, but it doesn't create any problems at the game level. The achievement doesn't have an expiration date, you don't win any prizes if you finish it in a short time. They know it's bugged. They tried to fix it with a hotfix but the bug is still there. In the latest patch notes they didn't write that the bug has been fixed. Wait confidently and in the meantime do something else in the game

They didn’t try to fix the issue last patch. They haven’t acknowledged it yet, even. That’s all we are asking for, at this point. Acknowledgment

And it’s not about being in rush. It’s about nonsensical mind boggling confused principle of marketing - they announced new season pass, and this achievement tied to this content is the first of the season pass - and currently only content, since dungeons are not sold in pass and instead part of eso+.

The issue is that unless someone comes to the forums, which most don't, players won't know about the bug and instead will be wasting their time chasing a spawn that will never come.

ZOS announced the start of these events, players expect them to be there until ZOS say otherwise. Basic customer service, for paying customers.

Hi folks, first thank you for flagging this issue. We took this thread to the team earlier this week to investigate. We did discover there is an issue with Worm Cult Reapers not spawning in some instances, reducing the intended volume you should be encountering. We have a bug and a fix for this slated for Update 46, since this could not be hotfixed.

What bug?

So... you are releasing both the bug and the fix with U46?

Or is an unrelated bug that you are releasing along with the fix?

Perhaps you have a bug and also you are releasing a fix? If so, why not share pics of the bug? Is it a friendly bug?

So many questions.

Thank you for communicating with us. Could you please clarify what you meant by "we have a bug and a fix"?

RealLoveBVB

I understood it like "we found a bug and are going to fix it in U46, as it can't be hotfixed".

Pretty sure what he meant to say was "We've identified the bug and have a fix".

@Wuduwasa13 I have two questions:
1. Did you farm those shortly after system reboot/patches?
2. How much time did it take you?

Someone in a guild shouted out that they were up one day and so a group of us went to different zones and then travelled to each other when we found one. Took about 2.5 hours in total.

Didn’t even realise they were bugged. I’m still seeing them around and about, but seeing a lot more of the old ones tbh.

By multiple players' observations the new ones seem to be spawning consistently after a reboot/patch and then gradually getting completely replaced by the old ones.

They got it on 17th, so that was close to after the reboot of the server, which makes sense.

Yea that what you’re describing is the “bugged”. Seeing them a lot less after the reboot is the bugged state.
