This was meant to have been changed, and was changed correctly for several weeks. However, this week we had two Giant Eye Tentacles spawn during weaken. One was just after the weaken phase started, within 2 seconds, so that is a pass because it’s close enough to the phase changing. However, later in that same weaken phase, another Giant Eye Tentacle spawned precisely 30s after the first of that weaken phase.
I’m wondering if any other groups also had bizarre Giant Eye Tentacle spawns this week.
Yes and it seems that the longer the cthun fight goes on the more mobs spawn during the weakened phase. Thats what it looked like to me last night.
This sounds absolutely abhorrent - sorry this happened to you homie.
Wasn’t bad, only had a few deaths from the first one, as it spawned far side and we weren’t completely expecting it, as we thought we had won the timer race (we did by 1-2s but it spawned anyways). The second one was close side so we had it stunned up immediately and it was fine, but it’s curious it spawned after 30s, and wasn’t a giant claw instead as those are meant to alternate every 30s. It was just clearly not supposed to happen so I wanted to report it and let people know here that it may happen.
From a developers point of view, sounds like a regression bug, they are cutting corners with sod. Testing is not getting done, things are rushed.
This was happening first week of AQ, or at least it is very similar.
