No Reward after Killing Tiamat!

ashcuteashcute Member Posts: 6 Arc User
edited December 2014 in Bug Reports (PC)
i've read a lot of chats in zone that they reward is not given after defeating tiamat, now for the 1st time i have encountered this issue not receiving a reward after killing tiamat and it is a really really pain in the ***.


Time of Battle:

Tuesday, 9 December
1:00:00 a.m(GMT - 8:00)

Instance: #1

so after not receiving the reward, i switched instance to see if i will receive the reward but to no avail. we still had 5min left before tiamat battle is over and after i switch to a different instance and then wait for it to CD and then open the instance changer again, i noticed this:

instance 1 to 3 is gone, so my THEORY is that probably we weren't given the rewards since the instance is gone. So basically it didn't register that we killed Tiamat. :(


PS: This is just a theory and might help with the investigation. I'm no dev but additional info that might help solve this issue will be greatly appreciated.

    Unless I'm mistaken, this is due to the instance not properly resetting.

    if you enter door instantly and get into a high instance you are 100% bugged and will not get a reward.
    Sometimes even a low instance can be bugged.

    At any given time there can only be one instance with bugged rewards.

    Maybe it is caused by a user remaining in that tiamat instance for 40 minutes until the next fight, not allowing it to reset? Just a theory of mine

    Got it again... 2nd win with no reward. The only winning move is not to play. Have you guys been spamming the door at the top of the hour maybe that behavior gets you into bugged instances?

    Got the bug for a 3rd time just now. Win no reward. This time it was a sub one minute to go before grabbing the instance (instead of door spam).

    So, the working theory is that the instance bugging is because of the instance not properly clearing if people have to be kicked out due to AFKing.

    There is no method of avoiding being placed into one when you enter, but there is a foolproof method of telling if you loaded into a bugged one.

    A bugged instance will have no loading time. You will simply go right in without any delay at a loading screen. This is because the instance doesn't have to be generated, it already existed so you just go right in.

    If you take a bit to load in, with a loading screen that sits unmoving for a moment before going on and then depositing you in, you are in a good instance. You can, of course, still fail horribly if your instance is full of stupid or you get hit by Cleric progression or head not rising bugs, but if you succeed you will get your Linu's Favor.

    If you enter and get a bugged instance, simply turn around and leave and re-enter. You will most likely get a working instance the second time. If you queued with a guild or as part of insta-queue to try to get a low instance, you'll have lost that, but at least in a working instance there's a chance of reward. Better a lesser reso and a bag of coins for a loss than nothing at all for a win, since the chest contents have never once been worth using a key on for me.

    Naicalus, I think your theory is wrong. I was finally on a winning team today, and it took time to load the instance, but no one got a reward.

    ETA: It was instance 2

    This has happened to me as well. Three "fresh" instances in a row. All took their sweet time loading in. At the end of the raid? Yep. NO reward. THREE IN A ROW. Are the people at Cryptic just giggling about wasting our time or what???

    :mad:
    Telling us about upcoming content updates, and getting those updates out the door BUG-FREE, is *AWESOME*!! Know what's even *MORE* awesome? Fixing game breaking bugs (and/or undocumented "features") that have been in EXISTING content for months/years!!! Guess which one makes me want to spend money on a game much more than the other? Hint: It's the "more awesome" one.

    HE will not give any reward if you cannot score .

    To fix this after finishing HE go up to the stature and jump down then you will get some minimal score .
    An you will get the reward.
