Fang Lair boss fights resetting seemingly at random

sim_pol · June 2018

Our group had finished Fang Lair hardmode after many attempts, and wanted to get the speedrun and nodeath achievements as well. We had been experiencing the reset issue on the last boss, but it would only happen before combat started and never in the middle of the fight on that particular boss. On our two attempts to get nodeath and speedrun, the resetting issue happened a lot on the first two bosses, and I recorded it on out second attempt.

This occurred on the live server, PC-NA, on 6/22/18, on patch 4.0.10.1619686

From my experience with glitching flashing out enemies and resetting, it only happens when I have a pet out.
Specifically, it happens on my nightblade when I trigger Siphoning Attacks before aggro and then trigger Dark Shade right away to go in and minor maim debuff the boss as I am running into melee range.
This may have something to do with the recent change to allow the ranged Shade to be summoned without a target and both Shade morphs to not immediately aggro the target until they actually get in range or attack.

Pets seem to make aggro tracking bug out.

Edit: No, I didn't watch the video so can't even tell if you have any pets in there.

Just want to weigh in and say its bugged. Had 6 tries on the first boss and it always reset after the first or second wave.
Can´t tell if pets are the culprit.

Given that motifs are supposed to drop soon I hope there is a fix soon.

As if wardens weren't already undesirable enough. Great.

Pets / no pets, same thing happens, so its not just pets causing the bug. Maybe they make it worse? who knows but they are not the sole culprit. Its also more than just first boss. First and second boss seem to do it the most and at any point in time during the fight. Last boss does it often too but for us it was always within 10 seconds of starting the fight.

We removed pets after a bunch of resets and it worked right away. Keep in mind that th netch also counts as pet.

We completely deslotted them.

Thanks all, we're working on getting this fixed in an incremental patch.

thats much too soon. you have to be realistic

We had this just now too. After stepping out of the arena and putting away all pets (incl the warden bear), we were able to finish it normally.

I think this bug had been reported on pts, too.

Yep rip pets, if you use them :-)

The 4.0.11 patch notes mention nothing about the bosses resetting in Fang's Lair. Are we to expect them to remain bugged until the next incremental patch...?

MLGProPlayer · July 2018

Still no fix...

Would be nice if I could farm motifs on my warden...

Kainarel · July 2018

Still happening, plus the wolves are spawning like crazy, even with one of them still alive new ones come in. How even..

ClandestineQueen · July 2018

The bear kept resetting for my friends and I. All night. We’d get somewhere, get them down, continue to run around like idiots and then BAAM for no reason it all just restarts again. Help! Please fix this issue!

Cardthief · July 2018

The wolves also are not detonating when they should be, normally if someone goes down you can get close to the wolves and trigger their detonation, and dodge-roll out before the blast goes off so you can rez your teammates, but ever since the past patch or 2 the wolves wont explode right away when you are near them. You can stand still and the wolves will either stand still and stare at you, or detonate at a delayed time.

Kainarel · July 2018

You're lucky if it's just 3 wolves.
We had 6 on us at some point tonight. It's ridiculous. Things spawn when they please.

efster · July 2018

The zoo boss is still resetting randomly. Are yall going to fix this one boss at a time or what?

todokete · August 2018

Bear boss resetting at random, 5 times today. We couldn't finish it

PouletRico · August 2018

Happened to me too, bear boss.

weedgenius · August 2018

Yes still happening 2 months later

sim_pol · August 2018

If you guys are still having this issue and want a workaround, try unslotting all non-targetable pets at the beginning of the fight.
