Armored VAULTBOT - change mechanic

Gameplay Achievements
1

Been trying to get some old achievements over the holiday break. I’ve been literally stuck for DAYS on getting an Armored Vaultbot kill (the correct way by kiting to the magnetic scrapper machine thing) for “Rest in Pistons” achievement. Between ridiculously long spawn timers and trolls / dumb-dumbs just straight up killing it (newsflash geniuses you get absolutely nothing, not even achievement credit for brute force killing it) I and several others have been pretty much hard blocked on completing this achievement and getting me out of Mechagon permanently. Earlier today had him about 50 yards from the magnetic device, but some idiot nuked him. Incredibly frustrating.

Armored Vaultbot needs something done to it so this isn’t just a troll fest by annoying morons or players that don’t pay attention / know whats going on with the mob.

Suggestions:

  1. a MUCH shorter spawn timer;
  2. a lockout on who can damage it; limited to the person / party who got first hit;
  3. In the future instance of Mechagon that you can port to, make the magnetic scrapper machine kite method active / viable, I think this would probably be the simplest fix and would keep trolls from interfering with a legit kill.

We have been trying to kite him but he goes immune 3/4 of the way and evades like he is bugged

Yeah, a small group shows up, 1 person hits it and it’s gg. Everyone starts nuking it even when you tell them they get nothing. Maybe they need to give this mob a silly amount of damage reduction so it lives longer?

Try WM or Server hopping to a low pop or RP server. I get him 2-3 a day with a little work. May also be worth opening the area up on another few toons and leave them parked at spawn location.
