Swift arrow is the one doing this today before reset yesterday it was the Hylek in Metrica.

On approaching the NPC the fight is active in the notification area, and there heath bar appears on screen however the NPC themself is green (friendly) and speeks dialog like the Challange has been finished.

Went to the Brisban Wildlands and encountered this Hero Challenge and I went to the marker. Only to discover that the HP bar of the Spirit appeared in the quest log (like every "boss" monster") before I even talked to it. So I walked up to the thing and saw that it is bugged since it doesn't even allow me to challenge it. I saw that a bunch of other people were also trying to do the challenge and apparently encountered the same issue. So I am posting this here to see if it can catch the attention of someone that can fix the issue, and to ask has anyone else encountered this bug on different servers.

Thanks for the quick response.

Just one concern:

it'll go into the next content update.That's not for a couple of weeks, right? That seems a long time for people to wait to complete a map. Do you think that maybe it's worth prioritizing this as a hotfix instead? (Currently, neither I nor anyone I know has encountered this issue, I just see more than a few posts a bout it.)


Separately... this might be a useful story to share with us later (maybe in a guild chat or AMA or something), about How Bad Things Can Happen to Good Code Changes. I think that's often as mysterious to many players as magic (or quantum mechanics or stats); I'd love to see you guys discuss this sort of thing to help more of us learn more about how RL programming works.
