Black Ice Domination (PvP) Broken?

Can't seem to take capture points at all, during the event or otherwise. Has been this way for me since the module's release, and was a big point in why I wanted to give this game another chance.

Is anyone else unable to take capture points? Am I just doing something wrong?

    I capped 2 points today in Dwarf Valley around Noon. The Event was active, unlike the IWP 24/7 before the Maint.

    I have been able to capture points just fine when the HE was active and at that part. Once one team wins that part, the capture points go inactive and the motherlode shows up in the pvp area.

    This was fixed in todays patch. When the HE icon shows up in the PVP (red) area it should now work. 100% so far and done 9 since patch.

    Icewind Pass worked for me on Tuesday night. There was an active battle for nodes while I was in there. Then last night was my first time in the Dwarf Valley PVP zone and it was up. Nobody to contest though, so I capped all of them by myself and then myself and one more player had our way with the Motherload.
    PSA: You don't need to grind Spinward Rise for your Elemental artifact main hand if you have some AD lying around. You can craft it via the Tyranny of Dragon's campaign screen.

    There's still other issues in the pvp. But yeah wait for the domination event to start. Though I can't say that there definitely isn't a bug that completely breaks it.
    2 bugs i can think of:
    dying after domination part ends resets your score
    motherlode sometimes goes before claiming 50% of it, presumably because of partially claiming it when it respawns after a few mins but not taking 50%, just a guess.

    At least you can actually do it though. It's just a shame the decided to rush the release yet again.

    I was able to do the Black Ice Domination Yesterday.

    I could never do it before and It was good.

    3 cap points you can see on screen (domination to 1000)

    Then the Mother Lode appears in the centre of the PVP area (I always thought it was the Mother Lode encounter out in the zone lol)

    There are guard npc's from the faction that won the Domination round and they help guard the Node with both teams able to mine the Lode.

    Is also % of what team mines the lode we were 100% AB v 0% TT mined.

    It also gave the Daily PVP reward for winning from the PVP NPC in PE.

    PVP might have been a bit more involved if this had of been working properly in the first week of release.

    It is still here after this long... seriously pls try to fix some things. BID when it works can be rly fun when enough people are present, but as it is i find myself having a miserable time running to a BID and finding out that is not working. Also it seems that no matter what faction i play i always get into a map where that faction is in a majority or heavily outnumbered but on some rly rare occasions in a balanced map....
