    A lot of the bugs were there before the event, but now they are even worse! It’s a mess in there right now

    I did two runs yesterday and had a few minor issues.
    In Stage 7, I had Venomcallers run into the middle of the arena instead of standing on their little platforms in the corners, was super confusing when my screen turned green and all spawn points were empty.
    And in my second run, I died to poison during a Venomcallers phase because there simply was no venomcaller around. I even watched my Shadowplay video, he simply is nowhere to be seen. No clue what happened there, I suspect he spawned in a wall or something. I tried to play with the ongoing plant explosions for a bit but that didn't last long.

    And in Stage 8, the firecasters were clearly not where the game showed them to be, bashing was impossible sometimes, and they would float around the arena. Had a bit of comedy value.

    And generally, I had trolls and lurchers run around even during their AoE attacks when they would normally stand still (when the trolls smash the ground for example), that was a bit annoying.

    Nothing that would stop progressing through the arena at all, but annoying nonetheless. My second run yesterday was 14/15 vitality and the only death was due to the missing venomcaller. Had I not had the flawless achievement on that char already I would have been incredibly pissed.

    Just experienced a bug where Voriak Solkyn didn't teleport back downstairs after destroying the three crystals up top. Had the fun new challenge of strafing around force-pulsing him to death because my ground aoes wouldn't hit, and blastbones/arcanist didn't see him as a valid target.

    It's called U22.... You can't see the mobs or boss, if you actually do see them/it you won't see their attacks/AoEs...

    Yea I had lots of bugs yesterday in my runs it’s a bit ridiculous that there are so many problems in a SOLO arena.

    The un-bashable enemies, AOE telegraphs happening somewhere not telegraphed, the game telling me I didn’t block when I clearly *** did, and the exact same drops twice in a row of weapons I already had in the first place are my current frustrations with that hell-hole.

    Umbrage is worst. Hit by circles you're not in, debuff icons not showing up, bosses skateboard around the room, boss cannot be interrupted, hit by the wrath of god (or whatever) without any cue.

    P. S.: Also good double drops (Maul Recipe on both characters, 2 one handed hammer on the same one). Didn't connect that to performance issues so far - but apparently, several people had curios bad luck.

    I experienced quite a few bugs in yesterday's four runs. I did discover that bashing works if you have a little distance between you and the target, but won't work if you are too close or too far. Not sure if that is a bug or just the new bash mechanic. Venom callers also run away from their spawn points and become seemingly "invincible," but are able to be killed by using a gap closer on the image, which will place you at their spawn point. AOE, light attacks at the air, etcetera-- kill her while she is creating poison blooms out in the middle of the arena.

    Added this to today's runs...finished killing boss in Frozen Arena, nothing happens. Tried reloading UI, come back dead, but no respawn of final boss. Guess I get to do Arena 5 over again (Try respawning at the wayshrine, see if that works. Or leave the arena and come back). No biggie, not that hard- and really just trying to get style pages. Looks like there was a time change advertisement that comes up every morning at 10 a.m. est. This might have had something to do with that error. Wondering if I'll ever get flawless conqueror though, LOL!!! Maybe after the event and things cool down a little. Great for laughs, and I do love this game (especially vMA) despite it's many flaws!!!

    Got alot of the same invisible enemies, ground AoE stuff as everyone else. Venomcallers moving, trolls moving while bashing.....

    And for some reason, in round 2, vigor will absolutely not work on any stam character. Tried mapping it to different buttons and all....it just doesn't work. And ONLY in round 2.
    So weird....

    Only got the venomcallers doing some sprints towards the middle yesterday. Fortunately I couls target them while they were running.

    Also started to get minor lag spikes towards the end of my run. Would've done more runs yesterday if it weren't for the "flawless" performance on PC/EU l. After 20-20:30 the server just kept kicking me every 2-3 minutes.......

    Nice event tho

    I broke my oath yesterday not to go into vet again and decided to give it a try. I had no issues until electric swamp with lamias. Lag was 0.5 - 1 s, so I couldn't roll away from poison on time. I imagined what will happen at much less forgiving upcoming stages and decided that it was not worth the health of my wrist and nerves. But since I wanted to get at least 1 page for sale I had to switch to normal mode where I can basically kill everything with light attacks.

    It should be noted though that right now I'm on the other side of the globe from my home megaserver. When I'm home I don't remember getting any lags like that. So it looks like performance depends mainly on how far you are from your server.

    I’ve seen venomcallers tun out to the center and start calling and can’t be killed (you can kite the poison though and range them down after a while) didn’t happen today but had the flame shapers on 8 run while casting their flame animation and they can’t be killed or bashed (popped a barrier and waited until they stopped to kill them).

    I’ve noticed me dying to stuff that I usually don’t and stuff that wasn’t even there. I’d be at full Health then just drop dead. Got the weapon i needed, just need to farm the style pages now.

    A friend of my yesterday said sometimes the mages didn’t spawn for 7’s boss at all. Also no scream animation sometimes.

    My big problem with the adds was in stage 8 I couldnt interrupt any of them. i would bash till no stam and then burn to the flame........I finally just said forget it and ulti dumped every chance I got.

    So this is why I died so many times during that stage! I had this problem yesterday... I know what to expect from them, I have crushing shock slotted, but somehow it did not work all the time

    I also experienced problems with the cleansing pool, but in my case it might have been to late for it...

    Yes, but vMA is instanced like dungeons, no reason it has to be on the same instance as Wrothgar.

    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Lol you guys are just full of good news.

    However I'll say that last year, I had never done vMA and it wasn't even in the realm of possibilities for me.

    However I've since tackled and completed vMA and it's just nice to know I CAN do it!

    Anyone else getting this? On Vaults of Umbrage, normal ping, the boss is unbeatable. He's floating around the room, doing attacks I don't even see, he is screaming while floating around. I really can't do anything. Normally I just one shot this boss, lol.

    This has been happening before the Orisnium event, and reported on the forums, but sadly hasn't been fixed yet. Also, the argonian venom callers sometimes move forward from their spawn points, and do their praying phase in the middle of the arena, which is weird to see. Not to mention the moving arrow spray AoEs, etc., when stuff like that happen, they make runs more frustrating.

    Unsynced animations / AoEs are a real pain... I know it happens in the entire game and not only vMA but ffs so many flawless runs ruined because of these bugs, it's frustating to say the least.

    More issues on second run:

    Runa "stuck" standing in the water without doing anything for several seconds.

    Enemies spawning without portals on Stage 6.

    Archers shooting arrows in stage 7 before even spawning.

    Venoncallers appearing in the middle of the arena in stage 7 and apparently impossible to be attacked at all... Had to throw AoEs in all 4 pads hoping to find the actual hitbox.

    I hope this improves for the next few days.

    The worst one is still the Flame throwers on Stage 8 not being bashable... This one kills good runs every time.
