Ya, MIA for us too...

Prepare for a mid week Xera pug :astonished:

dmn, xera is one of the worst bosses to pug too.

I wouldnt be suprised if the fix would take another 1-2 weeks. The dev reddit post sounded like it would be complicated to fix

-1 Boss per year btw.

Would be nice to hear an update from ANet on this issue yeah. For now, it seems it will probably take at least until next Tuesday for a fix.

Where did you see the post? I can't find it anywhere here or on reddit. Is this issue really tracked by Anet?

Let me google that for you:http://bfy.tw/IuC7

2nd link leads to: https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/8uwb2e/xera_raid_encounter_disabled/which links to these forums. 1st comment links to:https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/8uvn9f/game_release_notes_june_29_2018/e1imzip/which has following explanation from anet_jason:

There were some (much needed) QoL changes and bug fixes queued up to go out for a standard patch in July that were accidentally merged into this last Episode release, all of which were untested and not yet ready for Live. As you can see, that's introduced some new issues while also resolving some others. It's a shame because I was super excited to finally address all of that player feedback.

Presently we have disabled the Xera encounter entirely since that encounter is completely unbeatable. https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/45458/xera-raid-encounter-disabled

The plan now is to do the originally intended QA and bug fixing internally on all of the content that was accidentally released early, and push out a patch with a batch of fixes for the content. That does take time, and I'd prefer to do it correctly as opposed to shooting out a series of reactionary hot fixes. While I can't provide a date, I can say that it'll happen as soon as possible.

I don't have much to say beyond that other than I'm horribly sorry for the inconvenience, and I personally am nauseated by the situation that was introduced. :(

So yes, it seems that Xera will remain disabled for a while until the internal bugfixes for the QoL changes are done.

Xera said .. F* u all I'm going holiday.???

And then she went to Southsun Cove and got eaten by a Karka. RiP Xera

Give her a break. It's the summer after all.

So your saying Xera is on a late spring break?

Yes its a Cathy Newman reference.

Is Xera working again? Cannot find it in the patchnotes despite a dev saying yesterday, that it would be fixed today.

She is enabled but still bugged.

Xera still bugged this week too, sigh.

The only "bug" we noticed was that you can get the special action key when teleported. No issue for ppl with brain.

Tank can get teleported, too, now. Even together with the person having the bubble ability.

Easy doable for decent groups. Finally bosses become a bit spicier. :P

Probably fun for people who have a static, but if you're dependent on PUGs, urgh...

Doesn't matter if it has become easier or harder, this goes both ways: if it's not intended, they have to fix it. And if it's intended, they have to let it clear on patch notes that they have changed their "intention" with the boss mechanic to begin with. They already give no information whatsoever regarding the mechanics and changing them after the boss is released with no patch notes lead me to believe this is completely accidental (i.e something they shouldn't be allowing to happen if they even tested things).

Of course it's accidental and not intended. I think there's no doubt to that.

This is fixed now!

Nice, makes the fight fun again.

Now I just hope that the KC statues bug will also be fixed soon.
