[Location, Faction, Race]
Tanaris, Caverns of Time, Dragon Soul. Encountered on Alliance. Races present: Human, Night Elf, Draenei, with a healthy mix of both genders.
[Name, Type]
Madness of Deathwing, Boss Fight.
[Problem Description]
The last boss fight of the Dragon Soul raid resets before it can be completed. The symptoms can best be described as a countdown timer that start when the event begins, and when this timer reaches zero the event resets. Tried GM DIE command to kill the four limbs as quickly as possible, to see if the last stage could be completed before this "countdown timer" expires. However, the last stage starts with an animation and dialog. The lead time required for this exceeds that of the countdown timer. Therefore, the last boss cannot be defeated at this moment. It remains in an endless reset loop when re-trying the event after.
The following was also noticed. When the event begins the friendly NPC Thrall casts Astral Recall and vanishes from the scene. A few seconds before the event resets, Thrall reappears at his place. Somehow, the respawn of Thrall indicates that there are only a few seconds left before the reset.
In the last couple of tests, Deathwing was also killed with the DIE command, while it was still in the dialog. However, this results in the event going stuck altogether. The only way found to recover, is to close all WoW clients, restart and login.
[How it should work]
There should not be a time limit on dispatching the four limbs and defeating the last stage; this event should NOT reset.
[Additional Information]
This was tested on:
1. Fresh vanilla server install of the Premium repack V6.0. (no custom code)
2. Fresh vanilla server install of the Premium repack V6.1. (no custom code)
