Do you plan on doing a hotfix for the bugged gem event or will you wait untill next reset . Would be nice to get some info so we dont waste time doing the event over and over

Yep… two of the BIS gems are still unobtainable because of it… and don’t start with “if you do this and that it will drop”; it’s simply supposed to work without having to sacrifice some souls first.

Unfortunately this is the company that respects us, lately we are the Q&A testing stuff, instead of having the final product delivered.
HIRE A DAMN Q&A TEAM BLIZZARD, I’M SICK AND TIRED OF TESTING YOUR PRODUCT.

Not like those “if you do this and that” even work anyways…
“Have no one stand in the entrance”
Yeah good luck with that.
“Have no one run in right away”
Witnessed no one ever happening.

If you’re talking about the charging boss, just don’t let him charge to the entrance.
But requires people to actually go in the cave and do some effort…

It requires to work without making a difference where the f he is charging
well just looted my gems by doing the event
Tried that all morning; once the boss was pullen directly to the corner with everybody there; the “cavern-message” came without the boss even charging once; it makes 0 sense, the event is simply bugged.

It’s infuriating, and its completely impossible to get everyone at the event to understand how to avoid bugging it. This needs to be fixed asap.

It was a bit frustrating to get those gems.
The boss needs the be fought outside, close to the entrance, where it doesn’t move much.
Tried in a group, solo, killing at back of cave, killing outside with hunter pet pull…still no gem and Bonus Objective keeps disappearing 
Man that’s annoying, they really need to fix this, today.
Tried that, doesn’t work. It’s bugged, purely random - the “fixes” don’t do anything.

No chance they’ll fix today
There are almost a dozen threads about this at this point. and reading just one of them instead of creating yet another one would have led to reading multiple workarounds.
For my part, I´m not going to keep retyping them, just so people can continue to not read them because they think their new and exciting thread is the most important one, it´s just annoying at this point. Sorry, not sorry, use teh search funtion please. 
There’s a few suggested workarounds in the blue thread about all the gems becoming available, but for me it seemed completely random. I tried about 20 times and got both gems, but there didn’t appear to be anything in common for the two runs that worked, i.e. where it was tanked, where it charged, etc, and I wasn’t in a group or in war mode.
I’m not interested in workarounds anyway. I’m not doing their job for them; it’s the devs job to fix this and a shame they have to in the first place instead of delivering a working product.
While I understand your sentiment, the fault is actually not entirely Blizzards. In fact, it´s probably more the fault of lazy leeches on live than anythign else.
Because the problem is that even on PTR you don´t usually get these semi-AFK leeches that think they´re smart cookies by tagging then running outside, thereby causing teh mob to charge out of the WQ zone and ruin teh event for everybody.
Instead people actually play the event they way it´s supposed to be played, inside the cave, and as a result things like this aren´t easily noticed if at all. Wheras If we would have all tried to play like lazy douches on PTR instead of properly testing teh actual game, this might have been found.
They just need to increase the radius of the WQ zone by 5-10%, whichis realatively easy, but won´t happen over the weekend.
There’s one way that seems to work every time, and that is killing him during the three minutes they’re working on blasting open the cave.
Of course this isn’t normally possible, and requires that you evade-bug him once and leave him be, then wait for the event objective to return several minutes later.
Then have a hunter or warlock with a pet parked on the other side of the blockage pull Stalagnarok to the entrance, where everybody else will be able to attack him. Very important at this point that he’s not allowed to charge directly out, since this will likely lead to him evading and running back down.
All in all, too many things can go wrong with this approach and a bunch of random players, so if I didn’t get lucky with a good group and already have both gems I would just wait for the fix.

The best thing was, after my 4th attempt to get the stormbringer gem, I was waiting outside at the entrance for the event to start again. As soon as the timer started again, I recieved the notification that I aquired the stormbringer gem. And there it was in my inventory.
Just appeared after the event timer started.
The fathom gem took me 2 attempts. And when I got it, People were standing at the entrance, the boss charged to the entrance. Yet I did get it. All these tips are worth exactly nothing. There is no magical workaround. You just have to keep spamming the event and pray to get the gem.
Took me about 30 minutes in the morning to get both those gems.
