Serious bug with HR's and Bosses/Mini Bosses

Because of the extreme range the HR is capable of, in some boss/mini boss encounters, you can attack the boss before reaching the encounter zone or triggering the zoom cutscene, and even kill the boss from outside of their 'arena'.
When attempting to release Doomguide Severin (?) by killing the Red Wizard in one of the Neverdeath Graveyard quests, I sniped him from outside the room, and the death didn't trigger, so I could not finish the quest.I had to log out and log back in and restart the quest all over again, and run into the room, which defeats the purpose of having a 'ranged' class!
It seems the encounter zones (usually displayed with the translucent orange 'portal') need to be moved back further than the HR's max. range or the 'triggers' need to be updated.
Slightly less annoying, but still an issue, is the fact that if you start combat from outside the encounter zone, and then move forward, it will trigger the zoom cutscene, halfway through the battle, which can cause problems.

Is it finally a T5/U/T6 KDF Science Ship?

My issue is about quest triggers and encounters and is considerably more serious. Having a quest you cannot complete or have to redo 10 times, because you happened to be standing 2' further away than the game recognizes, simply because the HR has a long range attack capability, is a major bug and needs to be looked into ASAP!
Well that specific quest is not related to HRs only, had that the first time I did this on my DC as well. But yes, you are right, they need to fix those problems. They started to do so by adding those click to enter stuff for some fights lately so that you cannot target someone from far away or drag him outside anymore.
this way HR get to keep their ranged attacks, and the quest gets unbroken.
problem solved.
Damaging the boss should trigger battle/skip cutscene.
Just happens once, and you quickly learn to trigger cutscene before engaging the boss.
Still, annoying and should be an easy fix.

I requested GM help and bug-reported it at the time and was told it's a known issue that they don't have a fix for yet.

Though the way they have mini-dungeons set up in dreadspire would be the easiest fix, probably.
