Bug Description :
Okay, so, unfortunately I was in the second batch of beta keys, and I wasn’t able to play right away when I got mine. Between that, and the touhou crash bug (the red bullets) I have only really been able to start hunting world bosses seriously in the last week or so, and most of them, only since the last maintenance. However, despite that, I have a nice pool of strong people that I go with to hunt bosses now, and we pretty much always get a cube. Here is what we have been experiencing so far though:
First of all, Noisy Mineloader. I’ve been trying to get a time on this thing for ages now. I had gotten times for it like, 2-3 times and tried going to find it, and had no luck, but shortly after maintenance this week, I was actually physically there and got a cube from the kill on it. Finally, a solid time. So, we come back about three hours and twenty minutes later to make sure we don’t miss, it, and we spread out between floors 4 and 5. I know this boss has a system message because I saw it back when I was leveling in the mage tower. So, we and the 3 other static boss parties at the time were running around looking for the mineloader.
Fast forward about 50 minutes with no luck, and myself and 2 of the other party leaders stopped to talk, cause nobody had seen the mineloader. We had heard of similar issues with Violent Cerberus and decided that maybe it was something besides a 4 hour spawn. I had personally on other occasions, checked 5 and 6 hours after spawn, so we had some people check at the 12 hour mark, and nobody found anything. Then all of our parties came back at the 24 hour mark, and nothing, even after showing up 40 minutes prior to 24h since last kill, and staying till like 90 minutes after. At this point it’s been about 54 hours with no sightings of Noisy Mineloader worldboss on the Gabija server.
For Starving Ellaganos, we got ahold of a time the day after maintenance for the channel 1 boss. We didn’t know the time for the channel 2 one, but we didn’t really think anything of it at the time. We came back and killed the boss every 4 hours, 4 times in a row like clockwork. After that last kill it has apparently gone missing with nobody having seen it again since. Last night one of the major boss hunting parties went down there and put a person in Mokusul Chamber and Verditas Shrine on both channels one and two and even after waiting for 6 hours (and obviously searching the maps as well) there hadn’t been a single system message that the boss had spawned on the map (which does happen for this boss, personally confirmed by myself multiple times) So Starving Ellaganos spawns also appear to be bugged (and the reason nobody had a time for channel 2 back when were were getting the ch1 boss was probably because ch2 was already bugged at this point).
As for what is causing the bug, I am not sure, but when I was doing quests in the Istora Ruins map, I destroyed a tower which led to a quest boss spawning. This is what happened:
So maybe some of these world bosses really are spawning and they’re in a place that us players can neither see, nor get to kind of like the one in the screenshot? In the end, I was forced to abandon this quest because it was impossible for me to get to or kill this boss. I already know that world bosses can spawn in bugged locations, like this:
As you can see, while we were quite creative in methods of maybe moving it to unbug it, nothing we did worked. But if a worldboss can spawn this badly bugged, it’s not really inconceivable that on some maps, it might spawn in a place entirely unaccessible to players, and where we cannot see it.
I’m not really sure, but it would be nice if this issue could get looked at. It’s hard to fully test things when the monsters that drop some of the items we want to get for our characters aren’t even appearing properly.
Three one thing that I would like to know, but have no way to check, is this happening on the other servers as well? Please talk to your boss Hunter friends and ask them about it and direct them to this topic. IF YOU ARE NOT FROM GABIJA SERVER AND HAVE THESE PROBLEMS, PLEASE REPLY TO THIS TOPIC AND LET IMC KNOW.
