Dark Anchors

✭✭✭
I've yet been able to complete one. Every single dolmen is bugged out. Even re logging many times I just always end up in a bugged instance.
Anyone else having this problem?

Halmur✭✭I can't tell if they're bugged or not in your case, but they do re-appear after a while. Perhaps you're just not there at the right time? They're not supposed to be up every time you walk in - they are events.
I'm not entirely sure how the dark anchor events trigger, are they based on a timer or the number of players around it or what.Founder of TamrielJournal, an ESO fansite & community1 -
snigernissen✭✭yup found 2 so far and both bugged out, they where just sitting there and not 1 spawn around them or anything.0

Ciovala✭✭✭I know how they are supposed to work. However, the inactive state should have normal weather, etc. The bugged out ones have the same graphics as an activated one. I guess I could try standing around for an hour and see if even those reset.Looking for a mature and helpful social guild - play PvE, PvP, and like crafting.0

Gaudrath✭✭✭Yeah, I was wondering why that Anchor near Vulkhel Guard is merrily rumbling away with so many players nearby... guess I now know.

scabrous_ftz✭✭I was disappointed to find one in Glenumbra that sounded active, but was not. Oh well.0 -
silent88b14_ESO✭✭✭I'd recommend patience. That is tough duty I well know. But I suspect these are pretty complicated on the back end. It will be good when all the bugs are fully resolved. The quality I'm seeing in the rest of the game makes such difficulties stand out, but if they work the issue carefully without rushing then the Dark Anchors should eventually be as well-crafted as nearly everything else.Behold the great Oak.

Noticed the same found 2 dark anchor's and both have been bugged, anchor in place/effects just nobody home. I want to enjoy this but Immersion keeps being stopped and am finding that I'm just getting frustrated and it's only been 2 days.0 -
Ciovala✭✭✭So I've done two now since the server reset. Yay. However, is no reward normal? No loot or anything. Are they just done for exploration achievement?Edited by Ciovala on April 1, 2014 6:28PMLooking for a mature and helpful social guild - play PvE, PvP, and like crafting.0

✭✭✭✭✭You get an decent xp closing them, you also get fighter guild experence.Grinding just make you go in circles.
Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.1 -
I have done one Dark Anchor event. The others seem to be bugged.
/bug in game....help the devs realize what is going on!0 -
these anchors were all bugged out the same way in the 6 month old beta build that was out 2 months ago.... well don Zen....0

Marviah✭Eh I dunno, I've done two small anchor rifts and they got completed, also came into the middle of a bigger anchor rift and completed that one too without any issues. o_oEdited by Marviah on April 2, 2014 2:31AM0

Aballister✭✭✭I have found trying them after a server reset is best, over time they just seem to bug outDark Elf Sorc(AD)0 -
Jasstenn✭✭Maybe they could give us a refresh time frame... every hour or two or something would be ideal.Somebody ate my sweet roll.

RingobloodtheOld✭✭✭Since the server reset yesterday on April 1, 2014 they have been working for me when the event timer is triggered, need to remember its on a event timer so it will not spawn every time u go to one, but i have done 1 fissures and 2 anchors since April 1 server reset. Patience is key.Server: NA/PC

i ran into that the other day. sent a /bug report. so i tried logging out, then back in, and it was fixed. was able to complete all 3 in that zone. They know its an issue, but i guess they cant quite fix it yet for some reason.

firehawk2324✭✭✭There was something about this in the patch notes. They know that some anchors are bugging out, and have been working to fix them.Why not? Something has to work. Once, I dug a pit and filled it with clouds. Or was it clowns? Doesn't matter. It didn't slow him down. To be honest, it wasn't the best idea. And it really began to smell. Must have been clowns. Clouds don't smell bad. They taste of butter! And tears. - Sheogorath0 -
High_Marshal✭✭✭I am kind of disappointed that they are static spawns. They should have taken a page from RIFT and made them random spawns in the zone they way they do with the smaller ones.0

The rifts in RIFT are not as random as people think. They have static spawn points, same as the dark anchors here. RIFT creates the illusion of randomness by having a lot of them and giving them varied spawn times. Also no big stone slab with cultists around it sacrificing people to open them up."He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster...when you gaze long into the abyss the abyss also gazes into you..."0 -

What makes you think they are random? They are always in the same locations.High_Marshal wrote: »I am kind of disappointed that they are static spawns. They should have taken a page from RIFT and made them random spawns in the zone they way they do with the smaller ones.

High_Marshal✭✭✭The locations may be set and even in RIFT they are, but you never know which of those locations will spawn a rift or what type it would be or when it would spawn. That is what I am talking about. Not some static location we run to and see IF Molag Bal is trying to invade there.0
-
Ciovala✭✭✭Yeah they are static in Rift.
Anyway... Are the smaller Dark Fissures or whatever fixed location or random, anyone know?
Lastly, the anchors seem to work better since the patch. Looking for a mature and helpful social guild - play PvE, PvP, and like crafting.0 -

They seem to be static as well. I think they trigger when a player walks past the area. I happened to trigger the same one twice.Why not? Something has to work.

It just happens. Check the XP in that section in the K menu and compare before and after. Not sure if closing the anchor is giving the points, though, or just the Daedra.
