Aetherian Archive Bug - Celestial Mage Stuck in Animation Loop

I wanted to add a screenshot to the Aetherian Archive bug my guild encountered today, this was the clearest shot I managed to get. We're not sure what caused it, we didn't do anything out of the ordinary and I can't find any other reports of this happening, so we're not sure if this was a weird one-off or something's broken in the last patch.

The Celestial Mage got stuck in the axe summoning animation for most of the final fight, and also had a shield (we think the bubble she's in before she descends didn't fully wear off?) and took reduced damage. As you can see, we're at 57% and there are no conjured axes active - she consistently failed to summon them. She did however continue to spawn Conjured Reflections, mines, and black holes.

Wiping the group was the only thing that fixed the bug and made the fight go back to how it normally is so that we could complete the trial.

Not sure who to tag so @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom.

    Ah, it's not a new bug? I couldn't find anything on it. It was very strange, and definitely not helpful for what was supposed to be a learning run :D.

    Nah, just one of those rare bugs that never got fixed.

    There’s also another bug in HM where you get thrown up high in the air for few seconds like superman until you drop down again below the arena until you die. In case you experience that one too at some point. Even more absurd.

    I have never had that happen in Hard Mode, that sounds majestic :D.

    Over two years? Wow this has been around a while, I guess my searching wasn't thorough enough!

    I'm very relieved we didn't cause some weird new bug and that this is known. At least it was one of the more entertaining bugs, the Mage clearly wasn't having any of my mechanics instructions and made some new ones up haha.

    Since you are at it, I would like to ask @ZOS_GinaBruno or @ZOS_JessicaFolsom if there were any changes on vAA HM the last patches that were not addressed on the Patch Notes. I say this because it seems like the Atros spawn timer got shorter and there is not a cap of 3 Atros anymore like it used to be. Recently, my guild managed to keep 12 Atros before wipping and they just keep spawning.

    This keeps happening a lot lately so makes me wonder if that's how it works now or if it is a bug since I couldn't find any changes on the patch notes.

    Did I miss something on the previous Patch Notes?

    PS - The video only shows the OP's bug and not the one I just mentioned.
