Hi everyone,

I'd like to vent my frustrations about the nightmare that is Veteran Maelstrom Arena.

I was in the Drome Of Toxic Shock this morning and aside from the great difficulty of the Arena i also had to compete with a very annoying bug as well as ridiculously high lag spikes making bar swapping feel like I'm in a 100vs100 battle in Scourge.

The main bug I mention in Stage 3 is on Round 2 or 3 when the boss comes out. It is almost as though the Strangler code for pulling you toward them was not completely removed as I find myself floating across the islands unable to break free or dodge roll or execute any attacks and in turn awaiting my inevitable death. I also watched this happen to a streamer on Twitch this morning too.

In addition to this I reached the Final Boss of Stage 9 and during the fight I cast Radiant Destruction on an add with 10% health which essentially should only take one tick of the attack to kill the add. Instead the beam remained on the add for the full channel and I took no attacks on screen but as soon as the beam finished my character dropped to the floor and was pronounced dead. Yes I know I could animation cancel the beam once I see the ad is dead but why should I. I have made videos of both of these bugs should they be required.

On the Spiral Shadows round after I revived in the arena following a death the webs had disappeared from two stones but they were not lit up as free so it was basically a lottery as to which stone to drag the Hoarvar to and whether or not it would free it or simply blow up and leave me with the nightmare of double tapping the synergy button whilst aiming in between to release a stone.

Finally on the Vault Of Umbrage no less than ten seconds in on 3 separate occasions the Archer hit me with an arrow that hit me so hard it kicked me back to the homescreen.

Whilst I thoroughly enjoy the challenges this arena brings its hard enough without these numerous bugs and the notable increase in lag since the TG Update.

I have completed this Arena only once and I am saved at the final stage but I am disheartened by these bugs and very reluctant to revisit for these reasons.

Is there any official input as to whether you are aware of or looking into or planning to fix these bugs and the new challenge of dealing with lag spikes too in PvE content which is just dumbfounding since its singular instance.

Stop bringing out new DLC until you have fixed the old ones seems fair right?

My friend who is a Sorc also has problems with Streak when barswapping the camera gets a mind of its own and wanders off from your character making it impossible to complete the content.

Does anyone have any other bugs or have you experienced any of these?

Please fix these problems or at least acknowledge they exist my heart for this game is dwindling and I haven't even touched on the library of PvP bugs as I haven't been in PvP since TG following the input my Guild have given me on the new issues they face. Mainly Shuffle but that's another story.

I'm on XB1 EU by the way.

Hope this gets noticed and not bombarded with silly L2P comments.

Thanks
