Heads up for Veteran Maelstrom Arena challengers:

Normally the way this works is after you destroy the crystals on the top level, this prompts the boss to come back down to the main floor.
2 out of 5 vMA runs had the boss stuck up on the second level, even after all the crystals had been destroyed, which is a bug.
Proof:

You see that all the crystals were not there yet the boss was still on the top level.
Maybe this bug will eventually be embraced and accepted by ZOS as the new official Veteran Maelstrom Arena hardmode activated.
And maybe they could just give extra special loots at the end for those players who up with this?
Want to pass this idea along, @ZOS_GinaBruno ? @ZOS_JessicaFolsom ? Huh? huh?

dan-o92✭✭I’ve done vma 16 times since the event and have yet to see this bug lol, atleast you don’t have to loot the boss for your drops 😂🤣2 -

✭✭✭✭Why you complain? It's easier that way rather than going down where he does more mechanics, there's a healer, a daedroth, blue ghosts, invoker walking to middle...

I have done vMA with Pet Sorc a couple of times over the last few days and never had that problem.
My latest addition to the vMA bug arsenal is that the healing bird won't heal for like 20 seconds for no apparent reason.And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon1 -

Thank you for this info.
Maybe, with enough deductive reasoning, we can help ZOS find out why the boss is doing this.
Could be bad code, EU server only, or maybe it's Doritos crumbs in the servers
But seriously, I saw a thread about the same subject several days ago but I couldn't find it. Maybe it got deleted. So I made this one hoping to get ZOS' attention

Yep they canceled midyear mayham because stuff was broken......
Here we go releasing content for pve players that are broken this should have been canceled as well. Btw there is other glitches too. (Poison level has poisons spawn under you without seeing them or without you having the dot on you, have checked death recap to see why I died only way I knew I had it) and the guy that spots out more poison that spawns in the 4 corners can spawn in the middle of the room and can't be damaged at all...... So fun trying to dodge all the poisons......... So glad this happened but PvP event couldn't happen due to bugs.......1 -
magictucktuck✭✭✭✭✭I was able to replicate this multiple times, it happens if you dps the boss to much before he goes up top. I have to not use my ulti before he went to Crystal phase or he would drop to 64 percent health or less and then not come back down. Now there might be more ways to do it but that is one2 -
Mrs_Malaka✭✭✭✭So far, it looks like there are more than one way that this must be happening:
1. Using a "pet" build (sorc pets, warden bear, necro skeleton & ghost)
2. DPSing the boss down too quickly that the mechanic gets fudged up
Thanks for these inputs everyone!
@ZOS_GinaBruno , @ZOS_JessicaFolsom : we're helping you guys figure this out! use our efforts for the greater good!

DR4GONFL1✭✭✭✭My brother and I have run it maybe 16 times or more on a pec sorc without seeing this just to give you some more info... I have noticed that the pets are dieing a lot more thought...1 -
MojaveHeld✭✭✭✭✭The only major bug I've encountered in there during the event are the Spider Daedra's AoE attacks in the sixth stage hitting well outside their circle.1 -
Mrs_Malaka✭✭✭✭There's definitely more bugs in Maelstrom Arena than I know about.
This is the hardest solo content as of now, it has leaderboards for it, and it is a DLC ($$$ for you, ZOS!) This should be more than enough reason for the developers to start taking a deeper look into MA and adressing any bugged contents.
We should probably start making a list of bugs in the arena. So far, I know of these:
1. End boss not going to the first level after destroying the crystals on the second level.
2. "the healing bird [sorc matriarch] won't heal for like 20 seconds for no apparent reason" (thanks to @thorwyn )
3. "Poison level has poisons spawn under you without seeing them or without you having the dot on you"
4. "the guy that spots out more poison that spawns in the 4 corners can spawn in the middle of the room and can't be damaged at all" (thanks to @Kidgangster101 for this & #3 )
5. "during the event are the Spider Daedra's AoE attacks in the sixth stage hitting well outside their circle." (thanks to @MojaveHeld
If anyone has more to add, feel free. "But screw your courage to the sticking-place,

So we might say that the platform safety zones in the rink of frozen blood are distorted.
Did you have bashing issues only in this arena? Do you experience bashing bugs outside of the Maelstrom Arena?"But screw your courage to the sticking-place,

AndyMac✭✭✭✭✭vMA has always been buggy and laggy - it’s part of the “fun”. Can’t have too many Flawless Conquerors I guess
I’ve run vMA seven times now on my mDK -twice since the patch. Level 7 was totally bugged prior to the patch - seems better afterwards.
My ping is near 400 tho so random instant poisoning on level 7 is just normal lol. No more venom caller running to the centre of the arena tho.
The boss on level 3 round 3 seems to jitter around a bit but he’s a derp so eh who cares.Andymac - Magicka DK - EP Grand Overlord - Flawless Conqueror1 -

When the venomcallers run out into the middle of the room (they don't spawn in the middle with the bug; they move out there), they can be killed by dropping an AoE on the platform they spawned on.1 -

I can confirm this, it had happened to me as well, and nuking the platform with aoe killed the venomcaller far away.1
