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.

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

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

    SPOILER WARNING

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

    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.

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

    :wink:

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

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

    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.

    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.

    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.)

    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.

    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.
