Convergences whisp broken

[HnRkLnXqZ.1870]

We had an instance where many people in whisp form kept losing their invulnerability and hover-ability. Probably due to a failure in the zojia reviving process?

All players who had that issue ended up stuck as a whisp until the end of the instance.

For some time, suicide in the broken whisp form worked to get the abilities back. = Falling Damage

But once Sorrow spawned, that did not work anymore.

Our instance failed due to the lack of DPS and CC. Because too many people ended up stuck in broken whisp form.

Confirmed, just failed a public convergence event, everything was going pretty smoothly but lost too many players to this whisp form bug at the end, not enough Dps nor CC

We are looking into this--sorry it's happening! 

[doenerfritze.2648]

can confirm. joined late into a public convergence and was a wisp the whole time. the difference between being a real wisp and revived wisp was, that the revived wisp could get damage and had no fancy jumps/dodges. obviously it wasnt possible to use regular skills or any mounts either. didnt end well for us, because too many wisps in the end and therefore not enough damage on the boss.

A quick update on this: We've found the issue and are beginning work on a fix.

4 hours later and it's still happening, just failed another Convergence due to this.

This just happened to me. Late joined an instance after queuing because it seems to never allow partied friends into the same instance 😩. When I finally joined I was stuck as a wisp for the duration.

3h event rotation, already 2 spawns and still bugged... People who got sorrow both times won't receive today's chest 😕

Had another Sorrow Convergence fail about a half hour ago too. We tried a handful of different fixes to see if we could break them out of the bugged wisp form (including trying to get them to board a turtle) but nothing seemed to make a difference. Watching the counter, we only had around 30 players alive by the end, if that. At least 5-6 players called out in map chat that they were bugged, with one being stuck as a wisp from the very start, but those were just the ones who said something. We didn't even make it past the first Sorrow phase.

On the bright side, at least it failed fast enough that I could still make it to Triple Trouble after. So there's that silver lining I suppose.

Odd. I played 10 convergences - 3 per week this week's 1st at monday. No fails. (3-4 times Sorrow other ones the Dark Knight.) And I hever had been in whisp form before lol. I already wondered ... yesterday the first fail (my 2nd attempt this week) ... at Sorrow. And I was in whisp form the first time. Never got revived when the spell completed (bar full) and the movement seemed a bit slow when the boss changes locations. (Alive + gaining  altitude then mounting on griffon was alwayxs my preferred thing.)

Guess I'll wait with trying for the 2nd and 3rd completion  this week ... until it is fixed. 😄 (Still have enough other stuff to do regarding other hobbies - that I finally want to complete today.)

Yup, can confirm it just happened to my squad, glad to see anet is aware and working on a fix already.

It's still happening. Plus I crashed out of a Public Convergence and was unable to get in. What a nightmare this gamemode has been!! Stop making public instanced content with no way of rejoining after crash. 

[LordCanti.7124]

Take a fix still haven't been pushed out?

[Rubi Bayer.8493]

We just shipped the fix for this! Grab the latest build and you'll be good to go!

[Tharkun.8312]

We just ran public and got Sorrow and failed. Not sure if this is because of the bug or not. We couldn’t keep up the heals and dps properly

[Anjo.3170]

I did the update and 5 minutes into it had a CTD.

[BlueJin.4127]

Crash to desktop about 15 minutes into it. This is the 2nd time I crashed in a convergence... Please fix this Anet...
