Dragonstar Arena Normal Mode Clear

Tripwyr · September 2014

Cleared at 2:05 PM EST (Screenshot taken at 2:06).

Veteran Mode requires VR14, stay tuned. Final boss in Normal Mode is bugged. If Veteran Mode experiences the same bug, it will be impossible to clear.

Lol! I'm not even done downloading update yet! Or off work yet...

Congrats on being the 1st man! You're good!
+awesome

Hey Trip! First nice job. Second, what bugged out on you guys during normal mode? The dev team would like to know.

(If you are worried it might be an exploit, PM me.)

Can you explain in what way the boss was bugged, @Tripwyr?

Tripwyr · September 2014

SPOILER WARNING

Lol, wasn't expecting to get posts from both of you

Instead of the final boss spawning 2 bosses on each phase, it spawned 2 bosses plus the previously spawned bosses. So at 50% it spawned 4 bosses, and at 25% it spawned 6 bosses.

Wow, Gina and Jessica, you are on the BALL on this one! Kudos

Congratulations, Tripwyr on clearing it!!

What? We thought you wanted it harder. That's harder, right?

Kidding. That shouldn't be happening. We're looking into it, thanks!

Tripwyr · September 2014

Lol, we definitely didn't want it made easier but this is many times harder than pre-nerf PTS Dragonstar.

Huntler · September 2014

be honest Trip, how many classes have you cleared dragonstar with and which one did you use this time

templar my guess?

Tripwyr · September 2014

DK lol. I've cleared it on NB too on PTS.

Tripwyr · September 2014

UPDATE: This bug seems to be rather random. On our second run: first attempt the 50% spawn was 4 bosses and the 25% was 2 bosses. Second attempt: No extra spawns. Since then we have never gotten a 25% 6 boss spawn, but we have gotten 4 bosses at 50% about 50% of the time.

Congrats to you guys! Can't wait to try it when I'm done patching!

Xsorus · September 2014

We got to the last boss, and got tired of trying..

was fixing to say, if that was Normal mode I'd hate to see Veteran mode heh

So that's what I meant Tripwyr, our server isn't even back from maintance ... anyway good luck to you guys at hardmode

It was awesome spending hours on this with my guild, only to run into the extra adds bug and end up having to give up in the end.
Ah well, this should be fun to do again once this gets patched up.

Just to clarify, an exploit is to give the end user an unfair advantage. In this case they stated it would be nearly impossible if it bugged out in veteran mode.

My opinion of the post aside, this was the most genuine 'LOL' tag I've done in a while.

There are ways to turn negatives into exploits, I'll leave it at that and let you try and figure out how. Jessica is not wrong that even a negative can be exploited.

We cleared this too on day 1 (Daggerfall Covenant). The trick we found was to leave the 1st set of 2 bosses alive at 5%-10% hp. And push boss to 50%. That way the adds wouldn't respawn and would be easily killed. Makes the first 50% way more intensive but was a fun work around.

We just AoE'd all the bosses down.
