Slayer of Death itself achievement- how?

The only place I have encountered them so far is in the prologue.

Hi folks, first thank you for flagging this issue. We took this thread to the team earlier this week to investigate. We did discover there is an issue with Worm Cult Reapers not spawning in some instances, reducing the intended volume you should be encountering. We have a bug and a fix for this slated for Update 46, since this could not be hotfixed.

Thanks for responding! Is there any clarity to why it seems to work when server reboot happens, or is that an illusion and that’s not the case?

So... you are releasing both the bug and the fix with U46?

Or is an unrelated bug that you are releasing along with the fix?

Perhaps you have a bug and also you are releasing a fix? If so, why not share pics of the bug? Is it a friendly bug?

So many questions.

I laughed harder than I should have at this 😂

It’s been a week since reboot. Anyone found any? Or completely gone

I have not found any. It's the first time I'm actually checking the banner on the forums and find myself upset that there is no maintenance scheduled for PCNA.

I have stopped 'camping' spawns because in the immortal words of Sweet Brown ain't nobody got time for that.

However plenty of dark fissures have spawned as I went about my business and none of them have been soul reapers.

No, the fix for them not appearing in *some* instances is delayed til U46. They are still appearing (I'm currently farming them in the Rift as I type this) though probably not as frequently as they should be.

I found my first on playstation-EU today. This account has not done the prologue quest. This was in Greenshade.

Playstation just had maintenance. So, this is consistent with other players' observations that reboot somehow fixes the spawning issue.

odd then, cuz ain't saw any since the completion of prologue quest pc/eu

katanagirl1 · April 30

I found one on PS NA today. It was the one spot next to the clothing survey in Grahtwood. It was not like the regular dark fissures where you hear this “WAAAAAH” and there is a bright star above and guys drop down from the sky. The soul reaper was already up. I destroyed it and waited about 15 minutes but it did not respawn. I left the zone a couple of times and came back but still nothing.

I went back tonight and the regular one was there, it only spawned two waves of mobs, I thought the usual was three. I have seen vampires and dremora versions. No more soul reapers.

Based on my limited observations it seems the update places them there and then they just don’t respawn on their own.

I suppose they are meant to be like the random encounters for helping the poor or lightbringer but once the old dark fissure comes up they gone for good.

That’s really strange. None have spawned after reboot a week ago and you are the first person since then to say one has spawned, out of everyone on forums or in game chats.

Still - that is not a definition of “some” instances. That’s like 99.99% of instances not spawning after reboot each time. So completely broken

Is this achievement worth pursuing right now? I'm very confused by how it's being reported.

It all depends. If you happen to be online shortly after a server reboot, then you’ll see them frequently until they start to bug out and become more rare. If it’s been awhile since the reboot, then imo it’s a waste of time trying to find them. You might come across an odd spawn of them, but they’re so rare it’s not worth the effort.

I’d expect PC to get at least one or two non-patch maintenance and reboots before update 46, so there should be a short window to farm them again prior to the fix going live.

Ishtarknows · April 30

I'd like to talk about my experience farming these yesterday in the hope of gaining some insight from other players.

Several days ago I placed a few characters at sites where I knew either Dark Fissures spawned or I'd seen the reaper encounter previously. Yesterday I logged into one and the reaper encounter was happening. I killed it, made a note of the time and logged into a different character to check another DF spot in the same zone, and there was a reaper there too. I logged back into the first one - nothing, so got a third character to ride through the zone looking for more. I found a third, killed it then cycled through the previous 2 toons in case of respawn. Relogged a fourth toon to ride all through the zone, eventually finding another reaper.
After this one I tried my previous characters with no luck and tried a 5th character traversing the whole zone without luck BUT neither did I see a normal dark fissure encounter in any of the sites I knew they spawned and I was doing this for at least a couple of hours. Other zones I checked spawned DF as usual.

My take from this is that at any given time a zone either spawns reapers or it doesn't and if it spawns reapers it won't spawn regular dark fissures. I'd like to ask if this has been the experience for others. If so it would make finding "Reaper active" zones easier as if you see a DF you'd move along and try elsewhere.

Based on my one experience, “shortly” means only an hour or two after maintenance is done.

It’s rng, and broken.

After reboot, I saw reapers spawn, then dark fissures in same spot, then reapers again, same spot. But after like 2 hours, reapers stop spawning for everyone u til next reboot. Well, except I guess if you’re that one guy who plays on Xbox, who said some were randomly in rift. But no one else has seen any outside of shortly after reboot.

I don't know what you're implying but I wasn't "one guy... in the Rift" I saw other players too. They were in their own group though so we couldn't pool resources, but they had been farming before I got there and had killed reapers there already that day.

Sure. But as it stands right now 99.99% of players are not encountering these. So it’s like 1 guy gets to find them basically. And the fact that ZoS is not going to fix this till 46, months away, and is only new content as part of pass right now until 46. Not even remotely ok. And insulting to have said in “some instances”. 99.99% is not some

I think that is the 'default': using ambiguous, non-alarming, vaguely condescending language.

They do the same with other issues too, where is always 'affecting some players' regardless of the severity because it is technically correct, it is 'affecting some players'.

This is not unique to ZOS either, it is 'standard corporate language'.

BergisMacBride · May 5

Reminder that after PC server reboot tomorrow (no patch, just maintenance), the reaper incursions should be available again for anyone online tomorrow for awhile before they bug out. Unfortunately, I’m traveling so will have to wait until the next maintenance or patch to finish the achievements.

If they have the fix, why wait??? You found time to implement a fix for the 'Lizard Race' old content that doesn't give anything worthwhile having or achieving, but this you say can wait? Come on, give us a break and fix stuff as you have the fix.

I would guess it is because the fix is more complicated than what they want to try and take on with a quick hot fix. If it were just something simple they would have given us the fix. People complain about scheduled maintenance so tossing in a long unscheduled down time would really get things stirred up.

BergisMacBride · May 8

I actually had a few hours the day of the last PC maintenance earlier this week to grind before we had to get on the road (traveling). Was at 13 destroy/6 fragment progress when I started. Finished the destroy 25 achievement easily in a few hours. Got 3 of the fragments leaving me one short 🙁. All the usual spots had bugged out when I got back online several hours later that day. Spent the next 2 days casually looking while doing surveys but no joy. Then I decided to focus on the out of the way spawns with scant foot traffic and yesterday (day 3 post maintenance), found a spawn in Bankorai in the NW by the shore and near the Blackheart dungeon entrance. Got the final fragment there.
