Spider's Nest World Boss Bugged

ZoM_Head · November 2014

Spider's Nest world boss in Stormhaven is bugged.

The moment i engage combat, all 3 spiders crawl to the walls and go under the map. They deal damage but can not take any damage and eventually despawn.

I witnessed this too. We could kill 2 of 3 spiders, 3rd just dissapeared in rock wall.

I have seen this too. Happened to me yesterday. I have written an in-game bug report as well.

ZOS_GaryA · November 2014

Hey there everyone,

Thank you very much for the reports! It appears to be a pathing issue, and we're currently taking a look into it. We anticipate that this will be resolved in a future patch. At the moment we don't have an ETA, but when more info is available we'll do our best to keep you up to date!

Same issue (non-VR). Can only kill one before the other 2 get stuck in terrain and eventually despawn.

Thaumic · November 2014

Yeah I've tried this several times too, they all just seem to run away a few seconds after attacking. Hope the fix comes soon.

similar thing happened to me the other day with wrathvenom in crow's wood public dungeon, stonefalls. at one stage in combat it just clipped into the rocks/rock wall and I couldn't attack. it eventually came out so I was able to finish it off but someone in the zone chat said he/she couldn't kill it because of the clipping.

Hey there @SnarkyQB,

We actually have another topic going about Wrathvenom right here. We anticipate that this will be fixed soon!

ArcaneBlue · November 2014

righto. thanks @ZOS_GaryA

Kevinmon · November 2014

Boss still bugged please fix ASAP @ZOS_GaryA

ZOS_GaryA · November 2014

Hey there @Kevinmon,

You certainly don't want my hands in the fix, I can assure you that much!

Our fixes are released in incremental patches, which are released just about every Monday. Since we have provided updates on the situation, a patch has not been made available. Should the fix make it into today's patch, we'll be sure to update this thread and let everyone know!

Thanks Gary, since it wasn't in today's patch, when is the next patch it will be in? Much appreciated

ZOS_GaryA · November 2014

Hey there @Kevinmon,

We generally use the Monday maintenance period to push incremental updates. There are occasions where the maintenance period did not include a patch for various reasons, but we try to update as frequently as possible.

Slurg · December 2014

Any updates on when this might be fixed? My Templar has a strong need to complete it and so I tried to see if there was a workaround since I can't beat it with weapons. As of last night that last spider still goes underground and blasting it with a truckload of spells has no impact on it (yet it can still cause damage).

In the meantime, some players I have run across in the zone who don't read the forums conclude they are playing a broken game and are unfortunately left with a bad impression.

Any Updates yet on getting this fixed? thanks!

So I've submitted a /bug report in game on this 3 times this week. I decided to come here and found this thread FROM OVER A MONTH AGO.

If you guys want to retain new customers, this is the kind of bug that needs to be fixed asap. Constantly returning to this boss in order to get map completion and constantly finding that it's still bugged, then finding out that it's been bugged for over a month leaves a bad taste in a paying customer's mouth.

ZOS_GaryA · December 2014

Hey there folks,

Still no ETA on this one, but it is still on the radar and has not been forgotten about. When we have more info, we'll do our best to keep everyone up to date.

Wruffkins · December 2014

oh how I wish I could kill those pesky spiders

Please put into next patch guys! We all would greatly appreciated it

silvernightscape · January 2015

My boyfriend and I were just able to do this tonight and completed it. We're not sure if it was patched or if it was because we decided to kill the one that gets stuck first and then attacked the others.

OhDios · January 2015

Today we were able to kill the boss, the first 3 times attacking from the left, the boss hides away, but if you climb the rocks at your left hand (including picture of this point) when you attack her from there the spider turns to you and does not disappear.

This seems to work, or at least a variant does... in the group I was in, the first member to attack was against the back wall (i.e. from behind the spiders) which also forced them to turn. Not sure if it is repeatable this way, but it worked for us.

I was able to kill the third spider by using ult AoEs (Storm Atronach) repeatedly while the spider was underground (bugged).

I know... Try getting a few sorcs to go with you?

Spartacus_Mills · January 2015

I came back to this after leaving it for about a month and I couldn't get it to work last night either; the closest I got to completing it was when I'd just dropped my Standard on the last one, and it just de-materialised... it didn't even scurry off into the wall, the dirty inconsistent arachnid cheats.

I was about to drop some snares on it too, I actually thought I'd finally got it.

All the other times I never got more than 20 secs into the fight before they all ran for the walls, but I'll go back and try the tactic of going in from a different angle tonight.
