Anyone else having problems with the Shiny Brass Halberd HQ?

Hopefully this won't get buried by all the epic madness. =)Anyone else having problems with the SBH HQ? I tried to help a mate with it three times since the update and after killing the initial group of mobs, the next two sets aren't spawning. Any ideas?Zaur

Talking about the last part where you have to kill the captain? then its working fine, I did it last night without any problems. may take a while for the waves to spawn though.

Exactly... the quest mob waves don't necessarily spawn when you clear the PH's in the Citadel.  You just have to keep killin' them until they do.p.s. I did this on an alt about 2 weeks ago for the first time in forever... gathered a couple of friends to mentor down and help out since I knew what a beast the Captain and his buddies could be... we got him to spawn and... [Removed for Content]???   I simply could *not* believe how they nerfed the living h-e-double hockey sticks out of the T'Sanne encounter and then the assassins at the very end.  It can now pretty much be soloed by a blind monkey playing a level 11 Outfitter wielding a cane made out of grass and straw held together by some mud.  This HQ is a complete joke now.
