Killing Zalsheem the Waking Nightmare still doesn't give credit

Dragonnord · May 2019

ZOS, despite this line in your last patch notes:

• Fixed an issue where you would not get achievement or daily quest credit for killing Zalsheem the Waking Nightmare.

This world boss still doesn't give credit when you kill it.

Same for me on EU. A group I was in had this same issue, no one got credit for the kill. The quest also didn't acknowledge the fact the boss had been killed so it was just telling you to kill the boss.

Don't worry, we'll soon have a patch to fix the patch.

Just the same way we had a hardware upgrade to fix the laggy server...

People in zone were talking about this so can confirm

erialor · May 2019

Same - 4 tries for the daily so far, and still no credit

Nairinhe · May 2019

I've read a theory that number of players on boss affects this. First time it was crowded and it didn't register, second time it was like 4 or 5 of us and it worked

SpacemanSpiff1 · May 2019

tried it 3 times last night with no quest completion.

It has always worked fine for me, before and after it was "fixed". I didn't even know there was any issue.

What am I doing wrong right?

Tell us how you are fighting the boss? What class are you, what race (in game)?

DLM · May 2019

Never had an issue before the patch.

And now that is supposed to be fixed, I'm not getting credit for the daily. ZOS logic...

Most of the time solo, sometimes a few other players were around but I was never grouped with any of them. I don't think there were ever more than 5 players total, so @Nairinhe might be on to something.

Classes were Necro and Templar, both Bosmer but I doubt that this is important.

1st try was myself and one other person, not grouped. Both of us had the quest, they died and rezzed and then I died and rezzed but the boss was defeated. No credit. We tried again, this time a 3rd person joins in, one of them died, I didn't. No credit. Yesterday, I ran in on a fight that had just started, didn't died and still didn't get credit. Orc, StamKnight. (Thinking Out Loud) I wonder if it has to do with the Necros drain that he does, when he lifts you up in the air. I wonder if that is registering as a death and sense there is no rezz it stops counting damage on the boss.

Kotusha · May 2019

I noticed that the bug occurs during the prime time, when there's a lot of players in the server, so I don't think it's going to be fixed any time soon.

Carsinomus · May 2019

I confirm it`s still broken! Killed him twice today with no effect.

Jayne_Doe · May 2019

Awww...man! I thought this was fixed, since it finally worked for me last night. Not sure what the issue is then.

First time I fought the boss was when I didn't have the daily but was just exploring after leaving the tutorial and found a group fighting it, so I joined in and got credit.

Killed it once or twice after for the daily, grouped with my spouse. We're both necros. It worked fine. Then a couple days later when one of us got the daily again, it didn't work. Tried three times. Even abandoned it and picked it up again and waited to place the urns until after the boss. But, it still didn't work, even after trying a couple times again the next day.

But, last night one of us got the daily and it worked fine. I have no idea what's going on with that boss. I think the times it didn't work, there were quite a few people and last night there were 4 or 5 of us.

ZOS is aware and looking into it.

Roger that, also investigating this one too.
