Reapers March Arena Quests- Bugs, Bugs, Bugs

Sammael

So I finally made it to Reaper's March, and started the Arena quests a few hours ago. Yes, a few hours ago. Unfortunately, this whole quest line seems broken and bug-ridden.
In the Sorcerer's Division, I killed the first of 2 NPCs in the main arena with a couple lucky crits, but the quest didn't update. Exit/re-entered to nothing. Relogged a few times, nothing. Abandoned the quest, had to redo the previous leg, got back to the main arena, and nothing. I exited the game, watched Game of Thrones, came back, and finally was able to complete it.
Next up, Swordmaster's Division. Last NPC in the main arena came at me, knocked me out the arena door, and I had to click the arena door about 2 dozen times and let it reload each time until it finally let me back in. Unfortunately, no quest update, no NPC, nothing. Reloaded UI, relogged, etc. SO I have quit the game, will try back in about 15 minutes.
I do not see this quest listed in the "Known Issues" thread, but after some searching, it does seem like it is a known issue. Any plans on fixing this?
Thanks.

    I got into the Summoner's Division and accidentally killed the first combatant too quickly it seems. The NPC's just stood around and no new challengers came out. I abandoned the quest, which put me back to the Sorcerer's Division stage, and when I entered that arena, the challengers were still dead on the ground and the fight wouldn't start - even after a relog. Going to abandon and try again tomorrow but it definitely needs a little adjusting

    I'm having this same issue atm. Going to try logging in again tomorrow, and I'll let you know if it resets properly.

    Looks like its working now. Guess the key is to drop the quest and wait a while before logging back into the game.

    Had a similar kind of issue as well...went into the Sorcerer Arena to fight the champion (I think that's who it was) and killed the opponent when I thought the announcer was done talking. The announcer then said one last line and everything came to a standstill. Relogging and re-entering the arena did not work so I am currently waiting some time before trying it again.

    Edit: After exiting the game and waiting for about 15 minutes, I logged back in and returned to the arena. The announcer repeated her dialogue and the opponent returned for me to fight. From now on I'll just let the opponent initiate combat and hopefully it won't give any more issues...

    June 2, it's still bugged to hell. You go to the sorcerer championship round, kill the first guy and then nothing else happens. This make 5 different RM quest lines I can't finish because of bugs. It's like...half the zone is unplayable.

    It would appear that killing the quest mob too fast can sometimes result in the game not catching their death event, leaving you stuck as the game is waiting for the quest target to die but you have nothing to kill to trigger the death event. You can try letting the quest target hang around for a couple of seconds longer before you vaporise him/her/it.

    I had a problem with that because I would kill the enemy before they started to fight, don't do that, let them finish the introduction then fight

    Doing better then me, Cant even get past sparring with the summoners division combatant, They all turn into elites (no problem) BUT they reset when they get down to about 75% health....
