Castle Never: what's the deal with it?

So... each time I queue for this I wind up in a group that's either leaving while still at the entrance, or sometimes one that's just finished.
Are people queueing and leaving if they don't get the group make-up that they want? (like the old nonsense where they'd only run epics with two DCs to abuse the stacking of Astral shielding, or whatever the skill is called - before the devs balanced it)

    Also there is some sort of thing with the DD chest in CN. I don't know what it is and wouldn't say if I did, but it accounts for some of the behavior you describe.

    Also, CN being a free TP to PE, people often queue for convenience.

    Hey, someone had to spill the beans ;).

    Queue up, leave party, and you're right by the Lord Protector, to see which quest he's giving. Much easier than walking through that lag infested zone.

    cn has always been the biggest comedy exploit zone, worse than tos even. Now there is even a way to perma stun draco and its so easy people do it by accident. Of course now 10kgs groups are chain clearing it and crashing the market for cn stuff. It might take them an hour to do the whole thing but they can't lose.

    Yeah, there is a video of us with a perma stunned draco - totally on accident, no idea how to repeat it. Luckily I won't be accused of of needing to do that anytime soon ^_^

    All groups that clear CN are premade. No one ever queues in and expects to complete it.

    Switching to a different instance of PE also lands you there. :D

    Yeah, I figured that might be part of it - lets just say I had a very pleasant surprise waiting for me on one of my many queues.
    Though at that point I had lost so much time trying to get a group for that dungeon that I felt I absolutely deserved that reward. =P

    Found the same exact thing will work on every dragon encounter and will interrupt valindra in mc and prevent the afk test from coming into effect. And its not like its some insane combination of weird stuff its just a basic thing you would expect a player to do even if it might be a little overeager. I suspect something went very wrong in changing how one specific power is supposed to work in the pvp rebalancing and given how long it took for them to fix slam and maelstorm you kind of have to wonder if cn is now a free clear for literally anybody for the next 6 months. You can see the effect on prices quite clearly in the auction house. The guardian fighter hasn't been a very in demand class for a while now but the cn mainhand is now sub 100k.

    Anyway off to find out how to make a bug report. Can't make much ad if there are packs of low gs players chain clearing the place.

    He, free clear for some, maybe. I for one still have to clear it legit, let alone figure the Moradin-knows-what bug they introduced this time.

    When the CN set is less than the mulhourand set, something is just hilariously wrong.

    Its not mentioned in the patchnotes for today's maintenance so you likely have a while to figure it out.

    On an entirely unrelated note did you know the forum names are the @names in game so you could likely just ask someone about anything they say on the forums in game.

    Yeah, i hate glitches on draco, it hurts the market

    We still routinely kill him under 3 minutes, so no point in learning this :S Hopefully it is fixed today.

    Fixes like that are usually not found in the patch notes unless knowledge of the bug is so widespread that exploiting it is commonplace or not even understood to be working other than intended - such as the HV set bug or Val being interruptable in MC.

    Like I said a look at the auction house will tell you how widespread it is.

    Almost certainly not as widespread as the HV bug or even the MC one. The point being that the patch notes usually contain information on exploit fixes when people may legitimately believe they are not exploiting a bug. I doubt seriously that that is the case with this issue.

    castle never is still the hardest last boss fight so you will find lots and lots of failed teams, never queue for it alone, you will probably never get a good team

    So annoying, you have to tell the dc to under no circumstances do something he might well inclined to do depending how the fight is going to have your fun boss fight.

    gweef sword down to 398k, used to be 700k not so long ago because of insane demand from princess players who only whatever is most op.

    It actually happened to us accidentally multiple times. DC trying to lose a RW and oops XD.

    Bug is too easy to find and too easy to exploit. It needs to be fixed quickly.

    It's because of a very very old bug that still exists to this day and people are just getting in and out for it to work.. There have been numerous reports about it, but who cares about bugs in this game right..?....

    He, no matter, I already was told because we had a cleric going to Karrundax and he had to switch powers to avoid bugging the dragon.

    Kinda mind-blowing that this can actually happen...I mean...seriously...

    Meanwhile everybody is getting ancient weapons like candy...it really feels like legit people are getting shafted, since everyone else can farm them like candy and meanwhile Azharzel still smacks me around.
