Misplaced Ancient Power Source during the Soa encounter (Eternity Vault)

In the final boss fight of Eternity Vault with Soa, one of the Ancient Power Sources is always spawning in a wrong position (Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/mNCujls.jpg)

  • This bug is present in all difficulty modes, both in 8-man and 16-man.
  • It always affects the third Ancient Power Source from the bottom, both in the P1->P2 transition (70% boss HP) and the P2->P3 transition (30% boss HP).
  • The Ancient Power Source does not spawn inside the pylon like the other Ancient Power Sources, but instead floats in mid-air one platform lower, where it cannot be attacked (Error message: Target not visible).
  • This bug was mentioned to be fixed in the 1.4.0 Patch Notes. ("Corrected the location of a misplaced Ancient Power Source during the Soa encounter.") I am not sure what was fixed with that, but the Ancient Power Source I am talking about has been buggy since release, and was not fixed with that patch.

 

To help with fixing this bug, I recorded the respective coordinates (in X/Y/Z as shown in the minimap tooltip):

  • P1->P2 transition (70% boss HP):
    - Position where Ancient Power Source should spawn: 812, 660, -192
    - Position where it spawns instead: 798, 700, -207
  • P2->P3 transition (30% boss HP):
    - Position where Ancient Power Source should spawn: 812, 660, -352
    - Position where it spawns instead: 798, 700, -367

 

In my mind, I've already given up all hope of ever seeing this fixed, but after continually encountering this bug every week, I have to vent my OCD frustration somewhere. Either, no developer has run the operation for the last one and a half years, or this bug is so low in priority that it's not even on the wall of crazy. ;)

If you can spare the time, please fix it. It has gotten embarassing a long time ago.
