Hi!
Today I've joined a group of people for casual clear of nMOL. Someone was there for Alcosh, someone for moondancer things. I just wanted those 5 transmute crystals you get for weekly trial quest.
But the trial lagged and bugged, and not not in your usual 'low fps and freezes' way. Mobs forgot most of their attacks, Zhaj’hassa forgot his explosions, twins only gave us colors once and then forgot everything. I think the only damage the party received was from rare aoes. Our health bars almost never moved.
It was bad for players too - resources either weren't restored by heavy attacks at all or their bars were heavily lagging. Skills, bar swaps, heavy attacks weren't always registering. Enemies' health bars weren't immediately changing in responce to attacks. You could have 3 people attacking the mob and his health bar would be like '352k... 352k... 351k...'. Of course, inability to do a usual rotation doesn't really matter when Skinrai becomes so passive that he just comes to a squishy dd, stares at him for few seconds and goes back to the center of the room, but still, people didn't like the experience, so they started leaving after twins.
By the time we reached that long coridor before the last boss only three people remained, including me. I suspected that Rakkhat wouldn't use any mechanics as well and was curious to see if it's true. Two other people joined me.
And we defeated him! The three of us, 1 tank and 2 dds. Took us 27 minutes and 0 deaths.
Part 1
Part 2
I'm not bragging, of course. It's not an accomplishment when the only threats are those red circles that appear every 1.5 minutes. No Lunar phase, no adds, no orbs.
It's an extreme example of a sorry state of trials, and I sincerely hope that I never see anything like this again. ZOS, please fix.
I also strongly recommend not to try and repeat it. nMOL doesn't give you anything special, like veteran trials do, but still it
kind of looks like an exploit. Besides, it's very slow and boring.
Sorry for clickbait ^^
