I encountered a bug in a couple “Infernal Hordes” instances.
Normally, you’d get Aether from all kinds of things. For example Hellborn, Soulspires, Aether Fiends, etc. Aether Fiends can spawn randomly during waves, as well as if you summon them during a wave. All of them give Aether, when killing them.
During the Event you select banes and boons after each wave.
Now, if you happen to select the boon/bane “The Bursting Fiends”, that gives Elite monsters +25% damage and lets Aether Fiends explode and damage foes it looks like you won’t get any Aether from randomly spawning Aether Fiends anymore.
If you summon Aether Fiends with that “bubble” either North, East, West or South, the spawning Aether Fiend still drops Aether after his explosion. But all random spawning Aether Fiends won’t drop Aether anymore (they explode, but won’t drop something). Sometimes a few Aether get dropped. But it seems to be absolutely inconsistent and doesn’t make sense at all.
If you don’t select “The Bursting Fiends” as a boon/bane, there’s no issue. This only occurs if you select this after a wave.
//edit:
A second bug, that might be connected to this one, is that if you choose “The Bursting Fiends”, as mentioned above, and you have screen-wide explosions because there’re many Aether Fiends around that trigger explosions on each other, wave-spawns seem to get bugged (at the spawn locations North East South West). The Icon appears on the minimap - but nothing spawns.
Already happened to me in several IH runs.
I’d appreciate if you’d fix this - as this makes selecting “The Bursting Fiends” worthless and costs you dozens of Aether if you do.
