vAA Hard Mode - Bug

Since the last update, our group has noticed what might be a potential bug in the hard mode version of vAA.
At the last boss. you get rid of the adds (chainspinners/overchargers etc) and get to the 86m boss.
Now we know that you get a couple of storm atronachs to appear alongside the axes - but for some reason (Depending on some sort of random happening) - the amount seems to vary - you will either get them appearing on mass (we had 8 within burning the boss down to 90%) OR only 1 will appear - and it seems to be "pot luck" which it is.

im not sure if this is a bug, or mechanics. but weve run it 5 or 6 times, and none of the behaviours is consistant in any run re: atronachs.
grateful if someone could confomr (and if it is mechanics, then tell us how to deal with 8 storm atroch and 4 axes simultaneously at 90% boss health)

    I've seen that too on PC too, the atronach spawn rate seems to vary. Also meteors sometimes hit, sometimes don't. A few weeks ago I had a run where I can swear no meteors were present. It was certainly HM since there were atronachs. There's definitely something fishy with the mechanics at that boss.

    Can confirm this on Xbox NA. Did this fight a couple of weeks ago and the mechanics seemed to be a total grab-bag.

    sounds like its been noticed by a few ppl then.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno - any chance of this getting formally raised ? i can get more info if you let me know what you need
  • i b Apathy
    @ZOS_GinaBruno yes can you please comment on this ? Last night the atros spawned non stop throughout the entire run we had over 8 over them out and like the OP said it was within the first 90% of the healthcare.

    Just been in a vAA hardmode run and it's happened to us. Think there was between 8 & 10 atros out at one point. Xbox EU

    We did three vAA HM runs today. During the first run we had three atronachs and a reasonabe amount of mini mages.

    During the second and third run the atros spawned non-stop and piled up quicker than we could kill them. Meanwhile the meteors went completely crazy and there were a lot more mini mages than normal.

    We had this issue once before a few months ago. Now this seems to appear a lot more often again since a few of our members told us that this happened to them in the last few days as well.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno Is there any update on this? This seems to be rather similar to the HRC Yokeda Kai bug.

    It's not really a bug, the numbers of axes and atronaches are different for each run, sometimes it becomes crazy, sometimes it becomes favor to the team

    I've remember seeing this at least a year ago.. I've made a thread about it.. nothing is ever mentioned in patch notes or anywhere else confirming or explaining any of those behaviours.
