WoW: The Mechanar instance is still buggy

Some time around mid-February, a handful of World of Warcraft (WoW) players reported that there’s a bug in the Mechanar instance in Tempest Keep, Netherstorm. The bug shuts and locks the door and prevents players from completing the instance.

The bug was immediately fixed by the developers at Blizzard Entertainment but blue poster Ommra is now mentioning that the fix was not universal:

There have been a couple of issues related to the elevator and door, as you have noticed. The hot fix we posted a while back solved one of the issues, but there are still active issues we have isolated. We are sorry for not letting you know this sooner. We are investigating this further, but for now you have to contact a Game Master in case you get stuck.

According to Ommra, the WoW database gives this message whenever the bug is accessed: “This is an issue if players kill Pathaleon but do not have anyone to res dead players. The dead players would not be able to gain access to the corpse.” On the other hand, a couple of players highlighted that there are still other issues aside from the above mentioned such as:

• When you wipe on the second boss with the elemental fires, nobody should release until the boss is back in it’s original position and the elementals despawn.
• When you wipe in the tunnel towards Pathaleon, nobody should release until everyone is dead and the mobs ran back to their spawn point – after that give it a second or two and release.
• If somebody does release prematurely, chances are your laser door will bug. Only a GM or a soft reset can help then.

Ommra quickly acknowledged the reports and promised to forward them to the developers immediately.
