20170609 Normal Maw of Lorkhaj - PC/NA

Darlgon · June 2017

My guild ran this last night in normal mode. I have not been before, but some had been thru many times. They noticed:

The last boss moved circles WAY faster than before.
The audio clue that the Shadow Cats were up occurred AFTER the three runners were halfway thru thier run, not before.

We were wondering if anyone else had noticed the final boss fight was sped up.. a LOT.

Did not notice the issue on PC EU last week.

I guess it's possible that they changed it to try to stop people from pad 3 burning rakkhat and completely skipping the backroom mechanic on normal... but I haven't heard of any such changes myself.

ZOS seems generally annoyed whenever they discover players completely ignoring trial mechanics.

Didn't notice anything different on vet. Haven't tried normal.

Keep in mind that the pad durations are not--and have never been--the same across all of the pads. The even pads (the ones with Hulk spawns) have always been very short in duration. The odd pads are the long pads, and if they were to be shortened, you'd quickly notice it via back room wipes since the amount of time back room has coincides with the odd pad duration. I'm pretty sure that the timing is the exact same as before, and you were simply observing the typically-short even pad duration.
