Missing door to Bukot/Saruman

[lutemaster]

This is what we pay money for, get used to it.

And for those who are wondering; Draigoch is still bugged and its only been.....how many months?

I for one am getting tired to try and support this game by maintaining my VIP subscriptions.

[dietlbomb]

Correct. You cannot access Shadow or Saruman without Turbine deploying a fix. Perhaps it'll be in the hotfix orion implied was coming soon.

I gotta say: this is the least accessible raid ever.















Just kidding, of course!


Please fix it, Devs. I want my crack at Saruman!

M8 i told you ! Saruman is busy buying Worn Symbols and Clasps for the increased Droprate in the Rings,and for himself.. He just forgot to put a Note on the Door.



BUT as long as we pay and play,little will change,and even if a few more leave,they just put out a new halfly done expansion,ppl forget the old raid was bugged for months buy the new content with a new raid,cause maybe Turbine learned the lesson this time .. and it all starts again,over and over...

One does not walk...into Orthanc!


Please -- this needs a hotfix.

Thank you for making me laugh out loud.

I was going to give Turbine the benefit of the doubt, but here it is Sunday morning, almost a full week after the patch with no hotfix yet. It's kind of funny how absolutely ridiculous this is.

Not sure if the order you do the wings in matters (that was my thought on why they said "may not be able to access"), but we beat T1 Frost/Lightning/Acis last night and then stared at a wall.

Good times.

They used "may not" rather than "can not" because they are bureaucrats incapable of honest and simple communication.

They broke a ton of stuff with Update 6. Minstrel bug fixes from 5.1 have been completely reintroduced. In-game lag has been horrendous. Turbine seems steadfast in their refusal to do sufficient beta testing on new content. It's a terrible management decision in my opinion.

What I find more disgusting is the inability to acknowledge a problem and provide information to the community as to what steps are being taken to correct it. Maybe Rift just spoiled me in that if there was a problem they would issue an immediate announcement taking ownership of that problem and continue to be very transparent on the process to fix it. Stuff like this would have gotten fixed in a couple hours. Considering the people raiding Orthanc have PAID for the expansion and most likely pay monthly as VIP, it's amazing this hasn't been fixed within a couple days. Turbine apparently resides in a bubble where they are completely unaware of the ever increasing number of quality MMO's that take customer service seriously.

No1 would be angry if there is a server downtime for some hours if turbine would fix this bug asap. but people getting angry if turbine wont fix this asap. many raidgroups are really pissed cause of this. my raid is pissed too cause before u6 we worked hard and optimized tactics for ID4 and we were at final phase @ 9% moral of Bukot and now we cant face this boss and provide our id4 t2 firstkill with raidgroup cause turbine dont fix the tower asap..... mby turbine think all people grind the new area and kindreded up the heroes reputation for the blue ones .... but.... this isnt right turbine.... ive alrdy equipped my 2 raidchars with the blue jewelery set in just several hours of playtime.... i dont want to grind the reputation for weeks ... only think me and my kinship want is to continue our progression in the tower!

just fix it Turbine! and show us that u can act like humans and not like machines with dollar symbols in the eyes

regards, Rep

Honestly I would have rather had Turbine delay Update 6 for two months than have to play this broken update as it is now. Real half-### job.

[Gillrain]

saruman walking again so slow ;/

[Fin.]

Turbine pushing another release in beta stage.

Hotfixed deployed in 14-30 days.

Nothing new here.

[Moripopori]

it's a shame...

needs to be fixed asap...

it's hardly fun anyway, the fellowship is laging towards mordor...

[YesMaam]

Is there any news about this? What's going on we aren't allowed to raid? ..

[Burio]

Door stays closed, i don't think we will get fix until end of the week. 2 missed id's on Saruman sucks hard.

I think that it is ridiculous that Turbine still has not acknowleged this bug. It's weird - jwbarry has been probably the most responsive and communicative guy from Turbine - I don't understand the silence on this. Please Turbine, just post something telling us that you are aware of the problem and are trying to get it fixed ASAP.

Turbine (Celestrata) has acknowledged this (Wednesday, 14 March): "We are aware of this issue and we are looking into it everyone. When I get any more information, I'll let all of you know as soon as I can."

That's the problem with different threads on the same issue

Seems pretty likely to me that they built U6 on top of the vanilla RoI build.

Stacks of 5 crafting mats dropping all the time
Mins coda bug
...I don't remember what other bugs there were - Draigoch bugging more now, too?

Bukot and Saruman may not have been finished when RoI launched, hence the missing door.

I dunno - if that is the case, how the heck do you drop the ball that hard?
It's almost like anything that wasn't specifically changed for U6 rolled back to RoI launch.

And did anyone notice the lag?

Lag what lag? I think we need a new raid progression thread this one including kills with the current lag issues!

Also what you said about U6 does seem likely to me, as for Draigoch bugging more well can't comment on that one as we only had him bug 3 times in total. Would be interesting to see if others remember any bugs that got sorted and have once again resurfaced.

Thank you and my apologies to.... whomever. Glad to see that they are working on it. I'll do more homework next time.

I wouldn't apologize. A brief half-truth in a thread compiling "known issues" and a moderator post elsewhere saying "we're working on it, we'll let you know" is pretty sad. Especially now that it's a week later with no further announcements, apologies, explanations, etc. This is a pretty big oops to just blow off the community like they're doing.

I suspect if you look into real carefully you will find that these instance issues are all side effects of the Update 6 Instance Finder that replaced the old Instance Join. You do a whole new feature Instance Finder. You throw out the out the Instance Join. You have to mod and connect all the instances into the Instance Finder.

What about looting crafting mats in groups of 5?
What about the Minstrel Coda bug that's exactly the same as it was when RoI launched?

I need to get to the Bonevales and see if the scholar mats are dropping like candy in a parade again.
That'll pretty much seal it for me...

But if your take on it is true, I think I'd find it even more pathetic that they couldn't QA the newest raid in the game to make sure it worked right. That makes no good sense and is probably the worst scenario of all of them IMO.

It could be that they didn't want RK healers to punk Saruman with their OP healzin'.
Gosh, there are so many better conspiracies than "uh, forgot to hook it up"...
