Are Devs aware that currently on Blackburrow (Saying this because haven't seen any other posts yet) PP:R "Ciriktna" is extremely bugged.  Seems to be a couple of different things happening, like damage being taken that does not register on any combat list, and like the very obviously one Ciriktna repopping in the middle of the fight.  I mean, it's easy to say, yeah maybe it bugged out once and to try it again.  Though this happened for 7 pulls that we attempted.   Though wasn't just that, you could actually sit there and watch Ciriktna repop every 3 mins or so (though seemed random).  This is completely unexceptable.  PP:R is a raid instance that already takes up numerous hours for any guild, and to set aside the time and set the schedule prior to this, you've just completely wasted our time.  Sorry if I come off a little upset, though I think I would have my right. 
 
 
So here's my question:
 
1. Seeing how the reason we can not complete this zone past even the first mirror is on the part of SOE, are we able to get our lockout lifted for when it is corrected?
 
2. Is this the only event bugged in PP:R (You might want to check)?
 
3. Is this just one of the bugs to be expect from the server mergers, and is it a bug that might exists in some of the other instance zones?
 
 
Da Rou.

The 2 min repop bug is an OLD OLD bug they haven't figured out how to fix yet. It's happening in all zones pretty much.It happens on most named after the first failure and the adds repop. After that, they will repop about every 2 min so, you will need to kill named or encounter within 2 min.It's been /bugged so many times. They don't seem to be able to or willing to fix it. It's problems like this and the inability, or lack of desire, to fix, that causes people to say the heck with it and leave the game. Same with the revive bug.

We've done this event several times before merge on Oggok, and yes while figuring out the event had our fair share of wipes.  Though never in that time did this bug ever happen.  Also, what about this non-listing damage?  This is also another thing that hasn't happend in the past.  
 
I do recall on Heroric way back when repopping after getting them down to around 5%, though never an Epic encounter.

This bug can happen on any spawned encounter, if an encounter is already up when you zone in the bug cant occur. By all means yes it sucks as if you wipe after any part of the encounter has been killed the bug occurs, and you have a max of 2 mins to kill it.To stop the encounter bugging just yell if it doesnt look like its working, (before you kill any of the adds) you can easily tell if its going well fairly soon after pull.Yes this bug sucks, but it doesnt in any way mean its not doable.A few pointers that may help you for next week, the order in which you kill the adds will help tremendously, the adds are bezerker, assasin, and cleric, criktna is straight crushing dmg (which can be debuffed to hit really gimply). Debuffing the the whole encounters dmg output as fast as you can is the key. The next target is to try to get the first add down as fast as you can. (yes there are many ways of doing the encounter, just play about and find one that works for you.)Most of the pptr zone is like this due to the ring events that spawn the nameds.

The devs need to respond to this issue or at least announce it as a known issue so we could of been able to fix the encounter ourselves.
 
Following issues:
The encounter reset durring the fight.
Unlisted Damage on our members
When not in attack the encounter reset every 2 minutes.
 
After a petition to a GM, they responded that this zone is "working as intended", this response simply makes me angry, because I play the zone and the GM dosen't, and I truly know the encounter was bugged. I'm sick of GM's treating everyone like liars, sure some people try and work the system but this issue has been /bugged so many times.
 
Fix this zone please SOE, its the second named in the zone.
Encounter: Ciriktna
Zone: Poets Palace Return (PPR)
Issue: Mobs reseting after first wipe
 
Thanks,

We havent dealt with a problem like this, and I really hope we dont come across something like this, but it has happen to us before on Goliathan in SC, every 2mins the encounter would reset.

Yep, if it had simply been fixed 6 months ago when it was first reported, and reported MANY times each time it occured, people wouldn't still be complaining.That's what I mean of their refusal to fix major gameplay issues like this. It's been known for a long time but, they too busy adding pumpkins and candy canes and stuff to the game.

Yep, that bug has been going on for months, affecting who knows how many guilds who raid, yet SOE either:a.) is incapable of fixing itb.) just doesn't carec.) or should come out and say it's working as intended (I doubt it, but I suppose it's possible) and just won't

Moorguard acutally acknowledged the bug and said he would pass it to the relavent team in a post a while ago.
