The state of Rahdgarak fight in Vatreshan Hollows

Rataroto

Rahdgarak fight is simply a pain in the ass with the new "features".
1. He doesn't jump after you
2. Using a grappling hook resets your camera view to about 0.5 second BEFORE you clicked the hook. (This is actually way worse than it sounds, it actually breaks flow of the game hardcore)
Can we get any word on this?

The cooldown on his jump is now way too long making the most annoying fight in vVH significantly more annoying.

Yeah, they need to remove the cooldown on his jump. You have to jump around to get the bashes, but then it puts him on a cd and he won't follow you to the final spot lmao

That's the kicker for me.

Is not more difficult, is not more challenging, is just more irritating.

Between his stubborn refusal to jump when it should and the vertigo inducing camera shifts is like... bah.

The silver lining is that now there is a finite amount of times I am going to have to do this; 2/3rds of the weapons already collected, can't wait to be done with it.

I haven't even seen it acknowledged, let alone confirmed as a bug rather than a feature so I am really no holding my breath it will be addressed any time soon.

So this is intentional? You cant even damage it once it jumps MOST of the time! How can this be correct. It has taken me from about 2:40 to beat him all the way to over 7 minutes because he just does not take damage but for an instant after jumping! Anyone know how to get this guy to jump sooner?

the only thing that has worked for me when he does this is to position at the farthest point possible across the platform facing him and the one he keeps running around on, so that he seems to no longer be able to reach you with his ranged attack and then he will jump.

Frankly been reporting this since pts but got zero acknowledgment and told instead that it was just me "doing it wrong" -- Even @Deltia was in middle of live streaming this a few weeks ago and was annoyed how long it took him to finish the fight since the jumps took forever to come about. Players in chat discussing same problem, so I doubt it's a learn to play issue.

its most likely a bug, I remember running this place just fine 100% of the time, Deadlands patch *** it though

I hope it will be fixed.

@ZOS_GinaBruno Is that bug known? Had the same problem today.

I went in there yesterday to get a few achievements towards Undying Song, first time since getting Spirit Slayer on my magicka Dragonknight a couple days before the U32 Dragonknight class buffs. I'm glad I put that effort in because wow, if that fight was bugged and stupid before U32, it was never anything as close to as annoying as it is now - and I sincerely doubt these changes are intentional with how extra broken the fight feels.

While disheartening ZOS hasn't even addressed these newly introduced bugs or given word whether they intend to patch them, we'll need to be reminded I think that they push content through even if bugs are reported in PTS - that way they can start building patches while the content is still in the test phase, and then have them ready sooner after launches.

However, in this case, it seems there's been an abundance of time, so maybe it's just a "feature" we'll have to get used to.

I hope they read it, i can even show video of bugs:

It will be a pain for new player.

Even i was dissapointed to not get my 300 k points.

But for new player it would not be chalanging - it would be bad working and buged, so he just will dislike it.

It’s honestly my favorite arena. I was planning to complete the sticker book but after the patch and a few clears, I stopped and took a break for now, it’s really frustrating and I don’t think it’s been acknowledged yet.

Ohhh, that is some garbage! Thanks for sharing.

Funny part is that you can avoid the minotaur bug by nuking boss on pad 3 (start fight, dps, boss jump, dps to invulnerability phase, boss jump, kill boss).

Super fast score push isn’t affected. But the 99% of people not nuking in pad 3? It’s a massive issue.
