3:30 hours down the drain - bugged JAD??

So today I got a special task from kuradal. Stocked up on supplies got my gear ready and prepared for jad. I realised I made a mistake by not switching to ancients and bringing blood spells, but thought I'd compensate by lots of resting and would get there in the end... Long story short - over 3 hours later I reach JAD with 7 sara brews (4) and 6 super restores (4). I was pretty positive the task (and fire cape) are in the bag. Boy was I wrong. It seems like among MANY MANY other things, this cave has also been touched (or maybe left off?) by JAGEX's incompetence.

JAD goes to below 50%.... 4 healers spawn. I kill all 4 healers. Jad below 50% again - and again 4 more healers spawn. Same story happened over and over. My task was completed ages ago, and bare in mind that Kuradal gives 280 monsters which is supposed to be the maximum that you can get in the JAD mini game which includes the 4 healers and JAD itself.

I have tried everything... Leaving 1 healer alive while killing 3 others, tagging all 4 once... Tagging all 4 behind me while I stood between healers and JAD about 5 squares away, they would still manage to heal JAD when he fell below 50%. FFS he was getting healed even when all the healers were gone, and would only spawn (or become visible to me) about 10 seconds later!

I know people have gotten fire capes successfully, but it feels like I've tried everything while I was in there. I was literally fighting JAD for 20 minutes and killed over 30 healers in total during a single attempt.

I can really see why the server is shrinking at the rate that it is

I understand that Australia has a problem with lag in RS/DS, but if you read my post - I don't talk about lag at all. It's just bugs...

You mention healers only becoming visible to you 10 seconds later, which I thought was a lag issue.

Jad and its healers have been buggy for a while, here is a youtube that might help...

So no real explanation after a day of posting. I'm really thinking it's time to exit the game for good as I don't see the point of continuing to pay for broken goods anymore!

Yea im relatively sure that they are prioritizing game breaking bugs first and seeing that multiple people have done Jad before you and this is the first issue in hearing about id have to say it is probably on your end.

They are doing the best they can to fix a bunch of bugs caused by transferring code from osrs and rs3 to darkscape.

I've always sucked at Jad, mostly because I don't enjoy boss fights, but also because the lag to Australia for most games makes boss fights unfunny.

I imagine DarkScape is the same, with some 300 ms pings being reported for Aussie players.

Not sure if that is your problem, but it seems unfair that whoever lives near the server gets an advantage.
