    That happened a lot yesterday. in 3 BZ runs, the timer was stuck twice, and we got to planet killers once.

    Then people in other instances started saying in zone chat if it happens to get it unstuck you need to let the undine retake control of one of the map areas and once timer is working, take that area over again.

    It sure seems like a bug and I was dissappointed to not see it in the patch notes since it was obviously happening to most battlezone runs yesterday.

    Also, not sure it was just the timer stuck. With control of all map areas, the %control bar seemed stuck around 96% and stopped moving. We started a new bz run from scratch and it did not get stuck the next time.

    We tried to let the Undine retake a zone. Really hart to convince other Players not to destroy the Undine Ships. But it did not work. Still stuck at 3:08

    They seem to stall out after a while. I was able to finish one without any problems. The zone reloaded after the Voth fleet but then stalled out once we retook all the areas. Might be only a fresh instance works.

    seems to also cause issues for getting bonus credit for the voth, most players dont even bother sticking around for it now as the undine will respawn before the voth bit finishes

    Hi guys,

    We're aware of the issue with the timer and the control getting stuck. There is a fix incoming. If it does not happen soon, I will give you all another update on where we are.

    That was around on Tribble. I thought the Voth were just a distraction while the battlezone reset so I never reported it.

    We're supposed to get something from the Voth? Oh, well then yeah that's busted. I'm not getting anything from them.

    might be wrong but im sure first run i did generated 5 isos, so I would have assumed thats 3 from the PKs and 2 extra from the voth, hardly something to right home about i suppose. No idea on if there is was a mark/dili reward as well.

    Now without doing the voth to completion im just getting 3 from the killers

    The bug causing the timer to stick around is also causing rewards from fighting the Voth at the end to not trigger. There is a jackpot reward at the end for how many Voth are defeated within the time limit.
