Fix Iron Mines PLEASE

It has got to be one of the worst bug filled missions I have ever come across. Every time I have done the mission for myself or helping others or what not, its getting really hard to complete. Not because of the challenge of it, but because of the glitches.

For example when doing the mission with my Elementalist, without any enchantments on me or what ever... my skills (not all the time) take FOREVER to charge. Sometimes a couple minutes. Or when I use one, it shows no casting at all.

The other day I used my Warrior through there. None of her adrenaline skills recharged. They all remained in a non charged state (and I had three) which really handicaped me. I could only use my energy using ones.

Markis is hardly EVER at the end of the mission. Often times then not when you get to the end of the mission, he is nowhere to be found... Then begins the long search of looking for him all over the map. Of course the mission is until he is killed.

I know I am not the only one with these issues as others have complained as well.

So thats my suggestion Anet. I hate the mission so much now, I get an infuse run and just make my way to thunderhead keep. Totally skip killing Markis.

same here 2 runs there no markis, killed everything jade bows, everything mursaat on the hill capped oath shot! Still no markis twice now? Very fustrating i wonder if it has to do with running to the seer, its seems both times we ran to the seer for infusion then proceeded to do the mission, just a thought.

If you kill the seer, markis won't be there. That's why when you do the mission, make sure everyone is infused, cause you can't do an infusion run and mission at the same time.

Markis didn't show up for me several times as well. Anet, please fix Iron Mines!!!

It has happened also to me that Markis did not show; we didn't kill the seer, I don't know why you would except for cruel kicks. (Unless you meant the Eidolon? Doesn't matter because I have also done the infusion and mission together without a hitch.)

Seems random.

I have had the adrenaline problem before, in PvE and in PvP lava map (only) ... it is just a visual bug that happens. The skills actually do work, you just have to guess when they are charged.

Uh yes you can. I did it yesterday and many times before. Unless you mean bonus, then I dont know because I havent ever done the bonus there.


I played yesterday and had no problems at all.

I have never had any problems with Iron Mines (unless you count bad groups). The other day I just did it with henchies and everything was fine.

never had any problems either...did infusion and markis was around as well

i haven't had any problems doing infusion and then mission and i've done it with most(3) of my toons

Markis not being there I've heard of in the Outpost - But I've done the mission alot of times and he has always been there..

I had one successful mission there with my Ele, two hench, a warrior and a necro. We did the infuse run, everyone else dropped, leaving us... Markis was there so I know running to the sear and then fighting, Markis "can" be there but not always. Usually since then, not always.

FYI adrenaline works, but the graphic doesn't.

Yes it's true Markis doesn't show up at the end accationally BUT!
If you go and do the mission bonus you will end up against Markis eventually. Ies I'm aware that you can't do the bonus with henches very well.

In the start Markis runs over the bridge you run under from. Then he gets stuck sometimes between the bonus area and end area.

From all the runs I've done there he only failed to reach then end twice. And last time I went after him killing everything with MM/SS build. Did bonus on the way. After clearing the bonus area Markis appeared somehow behind me and started running to the end.

Killed him in the midway.
