Additional Info:

Instance was tested on Normal Mode only and not on Heroic. This bug report is Work in Progress and needs additional testing with a full 5-man group (we only did it with 4 players) and requires some scripts to be fixed prior to additional testing.

Note that these bug submissions also prohibit the completion of a number of quests including The Escape From Durnholde

Error Severity: High

Zone/Instance: Old Hillsbrad Foothills, Caverns of Time, Tanaris

What type of error occurred?:

1. Animation bug on the houses which were meant to be on fire.

2. Thrall Pathing is bugged.

3. Thrall's script is missing.

4. Thrall does not benefit from buffs and periodically removes them.

5a. Captain Skaloc should come with two additional mobs.

5b. Captain Skarloc abilities need to be tested further (I will update this bug report on completion of this testing)

6. The stables at Tarren Mill should spawn a pack of 4 Tarren Mill Guardsmen/Protectors

7. The spawning of the dragonkin are bugged.

8. The final boss needs to be tested

9. The incendiary bomb graphic (5/5) which appears on the top of the players screen bugged (i.e did not reset to zero) upon resetting the instance. It still showed 5/5, instead of 0/5.

What was the actual result vs. the expected result?:

1. The part where players are meant to place bombs to blow up the huts in the internment camp should trigger a "burning" graphic on using the barrels with the incendiary bombs in the interment camp. This graphic did not appear, making it difficult for players to determine which buildings had already been triggered.

2. Upon seting him free from his prison in the keep, Thrall pathed his way through the wall to the first set of aggressive mobs, making him difficult to follow. He continued to path his way through the walls until he exited the Keep. Thrall also pathed unexpectedly through the floor at the part where he reaches the Inn in "Tarren Mill" (i.e. where Taretha is being held captive).

3. We tested paladin, mage and druid buffs and Thrall's HP did not increase and he did not appear to be receiving the benefit from these buffs. The buffs also periodically disappeared, although we could not determine what triggered the removal of his buffs throughout the instance. Side note: he does benefit from heals, which is correct.

4. Thrall's interactive script is missing.. i.e. the part where you "talk to him" to encourage him to move to the next location is < Script Text Entry Missing >. I've tried to find out what he should say using WoWhead and various other sites, but am unable to find this. I think it should be something like "I'm ready, let's go." but cannot clarify this. Anyone who hasn't done the instance before might struggle to work out what should happen next with this entry missing.

5a. See http://old.wowhead.com/npc=17862#comments - Captain Skaloc should have two additional mobs spawn in this fight, these did not spawn.

5b. I did not notice the use on his abilities (see above link) so further testing will be needed to confirm this.

6. Upon entering the Stables at Tarren Mill, a group of 4 mobs should spawn when Thrall "startles the horses" - this did not happen.

7. The dragonkin before the last boss spawn all at once instead of in waves. The mobs spawn all at once and are almost impossible to defeat.

The following comment should explain what is meant to happen before the boss fight:- (Taken from: http://old.wowhead.com/zone=2367#comments )

"Step 4: The Infinity Dragon Flight.
Run back outside and in front of the chapel. You will have 3 waves of dragonkin and then the last boss. The first wave has 2 melee and 1 caster dragonkin. They come from in front of the chapel. The next wave will come from the left (facing away from the chapel). This will be an identical wave. Once the last one dies, you will get a wave of 4 from where the first wave spawned (3 melee and 1 caster). "

8. We were not able to test the final boss as we died to the dragonkin before him.

9. We reset the instance to try and get to the final boss and the incediary bomb graphic did not reset to zero, instead showing 5/5 at the top of our screens.

Can the error be repeated? If so, what are the steps?:

1. Enter OHF and detonate the bombs inside the huts of the internment camp.
2. Set Thrall free from his prison inside OHF.
3. Buff Thrall inside OHF. Buffs not tested: priest
4. Talk to Thrall inside OHF during the event chain.
5a + b. Complete the Thrall event chain in OHF.
6. Follow Thrall to the stables inside OHF during the event chain.
7. Follow Thrall to the Tarren Mill Inn inside OHF during the event chain.
8. The subsequent event whereby the dragonkin do not spawn correctly needs to be fixed so that the final boss can be tested.
9. Fail the Thrall event chain and reset the instance.

Are you able to provide visual evidence?:
