I took my heroic through this one, Tsaph, couldn't get ported out of Skyfire after the big fight. No matter what I do, they leave me in the dust and then I have to gate to PoK and rejoin the quest again in Skyfire. Any ideas?
The port distance seems to be very small for this task in general. Are you standing right on them before the spell is cast or are you off a little distance?
That does sound correct then. I would say it sounds like there is potentially a bug that is preventing characters from receiving the translocation.
Are you doing any damage to the mobs? It may not be a requirement but if you are just standing there watching, try attacking a mob or two.
That did it = one AoE and I was gtg (if I survived) = if's funny though, I don't remember having to do that a few years ago...
I am going to mark this as not a bug. Only way I was able to reproduce this was if I didn't get on the hate lists for the waves I have to defend against. If I failed to do so, the wave could end, and the NPCs could port without me, leaving me behind, since I was still on the "defend" element.
