same for us, pc eu.

About the lightning beam phase:
Before the patch the damage of "Grievous Pulse" increased slow and steady. Currently it starts about the same way, but after 17 ticks it increases much faster.
Additionally "Lightning Conduit" hits players twice every time the lightning jumps instead of once. (Basicly jumping back and forth now).

If it's intended it would be nice to see such changes in the patch notes.

It seems like most of the guilds that I've talked to have just given up on Kyne's Aegis until it's fixed. It's so badly broken. Our group stopped because the ship's portal on the second boss stopped working entirely. I've posted multiple videos myself where the audio dies and framerates crap the bed after about an hour and a half.

I wish the combat team actually ran trials (on vet) firsthand, so that they could see for themselves.

I really would like to know when they have a plan to fix this

That's sad to hear.. I would like to of thought that they would do a hotfix. Considering how much it affects trial completion and affects the end content gamers.

The first issue--the blood dome being present--had been reported back during the first week of Live. It appears in all difficulty modes (normal, vet, and vet HM) and the blood dome will disappear when you wipe or when the first prison phase starts. So one workaround is to just wipe on the boss, since the blood dome bug is only there on the first pull of Falgravn. Of course, if you're going for the no-death, this wouldn't be a suitable workaround, but if you're going for no-death, then there shouldn't be anyone sent downstairs after rezzing.

The Cowardice damage from the blood dome is shieldable, so it is possible (though still quite difficult) for a rezzer to survive that bug. In addition to rezzing, the blood dome can be a problem during the transition from the second to the third phase, as it's possible for someone drop into the blood dome's Cowardice damage area and die during that transition drop. The workaround for this is to make sure that people are close to the middle of the room (no more than a couple of meters outside the central circular pattern), which would ensure that everyone drops into the safety of the central pit.

The second issue is the increased damage of Grievous Pulse. The damage starts to ramp sharply after 15s. Although this had been reported as well, I'm not actually sure whether this is a bug or an intended change that missed the patch notes. (I have not yet seen any confirmation that this is unintended.) The lightning chain and Grievous Pulse mechanic is now a lot less forgiving and a lot more exacting on HM, but it is by no means impossible. A group that does the chain mechanic sufficiently quickly should have no problem completing this mechanic deathless. Even with a single chain strategy, with a worst-case beam order, it's possible to complete all four chains before the damage ramp. But it is a lot less forgiving of mistakes now.

If the Grievous Pulse damage ramp was indeed an intended change, I can understand why the change was made, since it did feel like to me that the chain mechanic last patch was too forgiving and not really worthy of HM. Of course, if this was an intended change, it should have been noted in the patch notes rather than snuck in such a way that people are left wondering if it's a bug.

And finally, the person to ping is @ZOS_Finn ...

Just an update of when they plan to fix it. Is all we ask. So I can let me group know when we can continue our dB prog

Same, our group is still going, cleaning up boss1/2/add pulls, and trying to speed up lightning lines.

Our group also frustrated... a month going strong still having to deal with insane damage.

Still no update ? @ZOS_GinaBruno

Ps4 Eu incremental patch today and no fix.....

Our group is still wiping on last boss to clear the downstairs glitch. We tested last night and its still there. Lightning is still absolutely insane. We have been using novas on the last two lightning chains to survive but even then if there is a second delay our entire group wipes. I wonder why they made this change....

Novas aren't needed. You just need to be fast enough.

With a single chain group, the worst case scenario for movement is across-side-across. Even without inverting positions for the across movements, it exposes us to 17s of Grievous Pulse, which can be handled by a shielding the last couple of ticks.

With better RNG (side-across-side), it's 15s, and there's no exposure to the new damage ramp.

With good RNG (side-side-side), we can do it under 15s.

Do you have assigned chain positions? That helps speed things up tremendously. We use only 6 links in the chain (positioned at 4m, 9m, 14m, 19m, 24m, and 29m away from the center) with everyone else staying stacked in the middle (for easier healing). Another optimization (that we don't bother with) is to invert the positions for an across movement. So the person assigned closest to the middle will be the farthest from the middle after an across movement. It requires a bit more coordination, but will cut down the time it takes to complete an across movement, and I suspect that if we were to adopt this, we could get our across-side-across chains down to 15s as well.

And finally, some groups use two chain groups, where one group speculatively pre-positions while the other groups chains. This requires a lot of coordination and practice to get right, but it's faster than single-chain. (This is what Pathfinders used for the first PC/EU Dawnbringer, though I am not sure if they still use this strategy today.)

The new lightning chain this patch is a lot less forgiving. But it's definitely doable.

Still nothing ahhh

@ZOS_Finn
Nothing in the newest patchnotes.

Any ETA for the Endboss?

Please

still bugged, nice work Zos. since 8 Weeks this Trial Hm is boken.
