As the title says the leader spawns too soon and what happens is you kill it and it never ends. Guilds could probably farm this possibly, but that might be exploitive like that so you may need to patch this asap
Sorry on all the posts but it interferes with getting any dailies done if it limits the amount of minor heroics. With both Cult Invasion and cult assault not working correctly, someone could end up spending hours just trying to get a minor heroic that isn't broken.
Each of these heroic encounters lasts 15 minutes, and if they can't be completed they delay the arrival of other Heroic Encounters, including the Epic Heroic, dragon attack encounters, which are necessary to complete the daily Siege of Neverwinter quest to gain the Participation tokens and eventually the Token of Achievement. It's a giant time sink.
Repro steps:
Travel to world map location, "Siege Battlefield"
Accept quest "Siege of Neverwinter"
Engage in Heroic Encounters, "Cult Invasion" or "Cult assault"
Kill Battlefield Commander Boss before other encounter steps are completed
Expected Result: Heroic Encounter is completed successfully and rewards are earned. Stages of "Siege of Neverwinter" quest are completed.
Observed Result: Heroic Encounter continues until timer runs out. Other Heroic Encounters are delayed. Time is wasted and no rewards are earned. Siege of Neverwinter Quest is not completed until more heroics spawn and are completed successfully.
I saw two heroics glitch, one where you guard the medical camp and one where you guard the main camp. Both were defended for the full 15 minutes by players (super tedious!) and then they just failed when the timer ran out. The heroic guidance on screen gives the impression that you need to defend it for that length of time to be successful, and then your time turns out to be wasted.
