Multiplayer: Firestorm knockdown causing key not dropping

When an Elementalist casts Firestorm, enemies are knocked down. Apparently when an enemy that is knocked down is killed by another player, the game does not register the death and thus does not drop ...

Hi everyone,

Thank you for your patience,

Note: While the actual solution will not be implemented until the patch goes live, I will mark this post as solved for now with the sole purpose of increasing its visibility.

This is being looked into, thanks for the post. Non-registered animal deaths seem to be the main cause, but any extra information helps.

For now, a "workaround" is to have the party host leave, thus forcing a migration and starting the area again. If you're in a private match then they can join back on you. It's hardly ideal, but it might help when playing with friends.

I will restate now: Well over 100 games personally played without Firestorm use among my friends and we have had the key not drop only twice from the templar assassin glitch. Whenever we bring Firestorm into the equation 9/10 games get glitched.

This whole Animal theory started by players on the forums might be the occasional cause(I wont say it is wrong but between hudnreds of games among my friends and me we have not experienced it) but it is just plain innacurate to attribute it as the cause of most problems. If you look at the video shown by PenguinFetish the last animal was killed while CC'd by Firestorm.

Thanks for the extra info. I have actually seen once case myself where a firestormed* templar didn't seem to die correctly, leading to this issue too. It happened once, and it was before the Destruction DLC, but it seems like it has a similar base cause.

*specifically it was a multi-aoe smackdown, but firestorm was part of it.
