Vet HRC

karekiz · January 2019

Did anyone test if they fixed the skip top method on HRC?

With the new wipe mechanic if they fix top I can see some rage on pugs.

that group has to wipe in order to skip top, so yeah bottom group would wipe. What i'm curious about though is what if bottom group kills it first, do they get the option to leave? or do they have to wait until top finishes? Because you can still skip top that way then.

Can't fix revive bug so they just kill everyone when one side fails. Is there any fix in this game that isn't just a bandaid workaround that causes even more bugs?

Seems like they linked both boss mechanics and players should not be able to skip top boss.

Yeah that's what I am wondering. You can kill the bottom boss before ever spawning top <or not spawning at all>. So if the top doesn't spawn the boss <skips usually> does that just ignore this mechanic?

wondering about that aswell, pull 2nd lever and w8...
lets see how it works, atleast for me it sounds like you can still skip top boss

I hope they fix the top boss skip mechanic, but it is likely if you do the bottom without engaging the top then the top group can still skip after.

I am also curious if the previous patch changes make the top easier or harder.

I wouldn't mind if they fixed it, but the is a reason that people skip the top is bottom is stupidly easy in comparison. Hell the final boss I think is easier than top. Making top/bottom encounters roughly the same difficulty <I have literally done the bottom with no healer on vet in a pug> would make groups less likely to skip.

I can see this making casual groups learning normal or trying full completion a hair pulling experience honestly

@karekiz , I think that at some point (since Summerset? Wolfhunter?) there was a bug that made Yokeda Kai fight be significantly more tough, there were threads about it in bug report forums. (Faster channel times, was it?) I wonder if it's been fixed.

Mettaricana · January 2019

I can feel the cringe about this too many players wont bash the tip and we all wipe and it'll be a back and fourth blame fest.

Yokeda Kai or The Pugslayer

Tsar_Gekkou · January 2019

As if the Advancing Yokeda grind wasn't annoying enough. I'm just hoping that the bottom team will be able to fight their boss while the top team waits until they're done, so at least one group can get something done. I'm hoping they don't change it so both bosses have to be engaged at the same time.

zvavi · January 2019

Yes, if both sides need to engage at the same time it is going to be... Fun.... Experience.... Especially when one of them can bug out and never spawn again.

Or how many years has bottom boss went afk for a fight?

Kurat · January 2019

I haven't tried HRC on pts yet but it said in patch notes that when the top boss splits you cant kill the clones anymore. They still must be interrupted but they dont last too long apparently. Their health bar is also different colour. So it may be a bit easier now and pugs may not have to skip it anymore.
Just wanted to add that these boss changes were totally unnecessary. All they had to do is double the time between splits. That's the only problem right now why this boss is a pain, clones show up too often.

YamiKuruku · January 2019

can't wait to feast on the tears of lazy pugs trying to skip everything because they are too dumb to do mechanics

FilteredRiddle · January 2019

Did ZOS at least fix the bug where bottom boss occasionally disappears if bottom wipes?

I’ve run groups where half of bottom DC’d, so it wiped and bottom boss never came back. If this mechanic forces people to pull bosses at roughly the same time, top boss wipes and thus kills bottom group, bottom boss doesn’t respawn, and then top boss can’t be repulled because bottom boss can’t be pulled, that’s a RIP.
