Joardee confirmed on his discord that the quest to open the portal to Volcanus is still bugged. The way it was supposed to work is that if your staff quest guy collected the foci, opened the portal and defeated Volcanus, he could then open the portal for other people in the future.
This is not the case at least on US realms and you have to do the whole fragment thing on 4 bosses again in order for the 2nd guy to do the quest.
Anyone has any more info on this, has blizz mentioned anything about a fix?
There are many bugs that have existed for a long time in Cata; this particular one is imperative for blizzard to fix as soon as humanly possible. The consequences of this not working as intended will be a disaster for guild burn out this tier.
Hopefully they do something before damage is done.
Not sure yet if you cant open the portal again or if you cant loot the branch if someone else open the portal for you.
2nd one is worse, cause you cant even progress the quest.
Anyway i guess we’ll see whats actually messed up.
Update: Ok we tried it. Our guy who got the branch of nordrassil last week could open the portal for someone else but the quest RP bugs out on the tree and despawns after a while. So you have to do get the foci again to make it work.
We soft reset the raid also before getting the foci again, just to make sure.
