sladerlmc Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Hi guys, For the record, I'm not talking about the "four rockets firing" bugged. I'm referring to the fact that Ortol can still run outside the room and reset the fight. I've tried to completed this flashpoint I don't know HOW many times, and this has been a known issue for months. Is there any chance that this flashpoint will EVER work properly?

Karasuko Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Once I found out what causes the issue I've never had issues with it since. Slow down dps.its not a massive dps check,tanking check or healer check. Just take it slow and you will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make him feel important put a marker over his head and tell him to watch for the safe spot and lead us to victory lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sladerlmc Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 I appreciate the replies, guys...but I really don't think that's the source of the issue. I'm trying to solo the FP, with a companion out. I'm a level 41 commando. I've gone so far as doing nothing but hitting him with Hammer Shot. The issue is that the companion eventually gets backed up against the door that closes behind you when you begin the encounter, goes *through* it, and General Ortol follows...resetting the fight. I've gone so far as trying to put the companion away and trying to solo him myself, but his knockback keeps pushing me back out into the flames. I just want to restate again, this is NOT an issue with excessive DPS - the rockets all going off is NOT my problem. The issue is that the door isn't an effective barriers, and Ortol exits the room, then resets while following a companion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmenQ Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 When your companion gets near the door, put them on passive until they run back to you. Yeah, it's more work, but that's what happens when you solo a 4 person flashpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had it happen MANY times on Athiss when people would get aggro and leave the room. The only way to fix this is to have your comp on passive when they get near the door. It is not a glitch or a bug, just like running away from mobs makes them evade. You get out of a certain area or too far away they will reset. Simple.

sladerlmc Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 I think my point is still being missed. I understand evade mechanics and boss resets. The bug is that the companion can still pass through a CLOSED DOOR, and the boss can follow. THIS is what causes the reset. The companion (or the player for that matter) should never be able to pass through that barrier and cause the boss to reset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karasuko Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I follow now. Well that sorta sucks but its not really like you need your companion..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A simple workout around is to use a dps companion. At level 41 it's not like you really need a tank for this fight. If you use a dps companion Ortol will stay on you and won't push them through the door. Yes, it's annoying that tank comps bug the fight, but the workaround is a dps companion.
