Veteran Halls of Fabrication - Pinnacle Factotum: Steam Centurions remain standing once defeated.

Kilnerdyne · February 2019

userid: @Kilnerdyne
server: PC / EU
location: Halls of Fabrication, Vvardenfell

When: Pinnacle Factotum
Everytime?: Yes, every instance, every Steam Centurion.
What happens: Steam centurion spawns and is killed by players. Instead of dying it remains stood up.
What is meant to happen: Steam centurion spawns and is killed by players. The Centurion returns to it's docile state of crouching down.
Since when has this been happening: Dragon Bones DLC.

This doesn't require a screenshot really as if you play the boss fight you would see immediately what is happening.

This makes the main tank's job extremely difficult when the simulacra mechanic happens, the correct ghost can be impossible to see with multiple giant centurion sprites overlapping. Frustrating bug that has been around way too long.

BTW When: should say Pinnacle Factotum fight

Woops ty Auror, have edited. And yes with 3 robots stood around and sorcerer dropping Storm Atronach down this can make the simulacra shockwave mechanic more difficult to see if the shade is stood inside the Centurion.

It pissed me off yesterday so much, couldn't finish it. And after another wiped the trial bugged and no-one could res. Had to call it.

Same bug on PS4 https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/453081/halls-of-fabrication-2nd-boss-centurions-dont-despawn-after-being-killed

Zos has confirmed they know about it and have a fix in the works. I tank this trial on vet all the time, it simply requires positioning yourself with some space between the centurions that are still standing so you can see. More of a nuisance than anything. The bug on archcustodian where alkosh agros the unspawned adds near the arch ways causing them to spawn on top of the boss with a damage shield is far more detrimental IMO

Kilnerdyne · February 2019

I've tried telling them countless times about the archcustodian bugs/trial bugs & unfortunately for whatever reason this forum has fell into a black hole. Only the PTS forum, German forum & General Help (for account/clown issues) seems to be checked by anyone but mods.

If you check my discussions I've tried to lay them out nicely with info & regularly check this forum in case they need extra feedback or clarification (or even a group to run through the trial to test stuff). Nothing.

Saw your thread on the PTS forum had been replied to and I was pretty angry at them but ty for getting the message through @irswat.

That was my reaction as well.

They even fixed a visual bug with the Apostle Jerkin that I reported a while ago.

Hopefully they'll keep this up *fingers crossed*

This bug is being fixed thanks to the Polish community ambassador. I submitted it on facebook and asked the ambassador for help. It worked

Thanks Aga :-)
There was also this post on the PTS Forum from @irswat https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/456361/bug-report-frostvault-vhof. Unfortunately there are still many problems in vHOF that plague the Like Clockwork groups, maybe we can somehow highlight those aswell.

Yeah... the problem of this particular forum is that we've no idea if they noticed our bug submission or if they're working on it. I'm really pleased that approaching someone who has a direct line to ZoS worked. I wish more bugs were fixed.
