Pirate King Lair Bug

edited July 2013 in Bug Reports (PC)
I've done the normal version of this dungeon twice now. Twice in a row there's no Anchor at the end to click on to proceed and kill the last boss.

Kinda bothersome. :(

    yea i just did 2 epic pirate runs and same thing for me... this is <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>... the more patches that get released the more bugs that come with them. im almost at the point of NEVER playing this game until things get fixed. which is a sad shame cuz i enjoy playing this game but the bugs are sooooo bad to where you cant do ****..

    Most likely this is because of the kill all bosses mechanic they added to other dungeons. Gates that don't unlock, camps that don't activate, etc... Most likely stealthed patched this entrance and caused it to bug out.

    The pirate king is spawned before you enter..

    Maybe the game registers it as a living boss that you have to kill before you can go in.

    My point is in-order for it to be bugged the DEV's played with the code for that instance. And since it was not posted in the patch notes it's another stealth change and this time they f.. it up.

    Same thing here. Two runs, no anchor. We killed everything single mob two times and all we got is broken content.

    Same thing here. We just did an epic pirate king, and there is no anchor at the end!! WTF??

    I think dkcandy is correct about the kill-all mechanism. Combine that with the fact that everyone likes to pull the first boss back to the room before, perhaps the map isn't registering that the first boss has been killed. I don't want to do a test though, cause I got better things to do in my life than to try a dungeon that may or may not finish.

    Just queued for this dungeon with a group (level 45 ish) and we cleared up to the last boss no problem. At the last boss there was nothing to click on to activate the boss.

    Things that we tried
    1. Grouping up at the edge to see if it would start
    2. Running back through the dungeon, to make sure we didn't miss any bosses
    3. Moving a set of 3 "gears" about halfway through the dungeon

    None of these things allowed us to start the final boss. One thing also to point out, there was quite a bit of lag for everyone in the party throughout the instance, and several times members just fell off the edge next to the boss, without moving or even fell through the floor to the grassy area below the wooden planks.

    Hope this gets fixed soon, certainly a big waste of our collective time :(

    [EDIT]
    To add insult to injury, somehow the game popped up with "Lair of the Pirate King Complete" a second after I dropped the daily quest. LOL

    The completion mechanisms are a big broken lately. Last week, while levelling an alt, I completed normal spider temple three times with both the quest and the daily in my logs. Killed the spider boss each time, and the quest just did not complete. Total waste of effort.

    Same problem last night. Killed every boss and mob on way there, no anchor.

    My guess is Devs put in a bad fix to people bypassing content which actually prevents legit players from doing it now.

    I am having the same problem.
    I had something similar happen with other missions though (like that skirmish against the black dragon)... I think it might have to do with mobs falling off a cliff and not properly dying (because they didn't fall all the way down and got stuck on some scenery).

    Alternatively, there is some hidden switch and the guiding lights don't bring you to it. That mission was very complicated compared to others, tons of puzzles and the like.

    Same here. Bug still active as of 1:00 AM EST on 6/29/13 I had no chance to kill the last boss and it was during the Dungeon Delve bonus :-(

    I was able to jump onto the rib that makes its way up along the side of the boat but even then I couldn't get the fight to start and I couldn't make my way from that part of the boat around to where I need to be. Hope this helps whoever happens to be reading!

    I was hoping for a pirate hat for my rogue buddy!

    Is this like the skirmishes where, if you level up, you can never ever go back and do the lower leveled ones and thus are permanently barred from getting the achievement?
    Or is it safe for me to go do other things and level up and just come back to it later when its fixed?

    Also, what needs to happen is that this dungeon should be temporarily disabled while a fix is being worked out. Having a method to temporarily, quickly, and safely disable any specific dungeon/instance which is found to have a serious bug (while a fix is worked) is a fundamental tool in the kit of any MMO

    You can do this later BUT you have to walk to the entrance manually.
