Anyway yall can fix this issue? Just locked myself out of my weekly Tindral Sageswift lfr loot on my druid because I got backfilled into an lfr and they had the readycheck (which I said not ready for while on my with the flying dragon) To be killed by the boss pull aoe aura and then have to be forced to quit the group to not be locked out of loot (didn’t work) without getting a tag.
This happened 2 weeks ago too when I died from people pulling Farakk early and locking me out of zoning in…
This really sucks with the 7 day lockout. You just randomly have achance to not be able to loot a boss or ever roll loot because you randomly get groups at boss and they pull before you get there.
Mind you I am chasing the druid appearance from this boss and to be denied by chance at even getting it sucks for the week from something not my fault (just bad spawning and timing and impatient raid members).
Destiny had a sort of mechanic that does this too with their dungeons. It would be really nice. It sucks that some random person can start the fight and overgeared folks do it and then it just locks you out for the week…
I have lost two chances at customizations and locked out for 7 days (while beating the boss). It just really blows. I miss personal loot group loot seems to just snapshot the current party size or something in consideration for loot table distribution since I did not tag any of these bosses and lost my chances at loot while not participating in them soley based on the impatience of folks. Not to mention losing out on great vault progression.
It is obnoxious that if you get locked out of the boss fight you still get tagged to that boss. It should be either or…either you still get to loot the boss after the kill, or your weekly lock doesn’t get triggered. Seems like an easy fix, but here we are.
I could have had the same thing happen in this one: I’d never even set foot in the raid so had no idea where to go, ended up dying to who knows what because they had already started the fight instead of waiting for the system.
I got locked out of Fyrakk today on my mage. I went through the portal and actually got teleported to the boss arena, but the screen was black even though I could see the UI and move around and interact with my party and the ghosts. I couldn’t attack Fyrakk at all. Well I threw my bag of tricks on someone to heal them, tossed up a few ice shields, and then eventually walked off the platform to kill myself only to appear back on the platform in time to see Fyrakk get killed, which I was then able to loot.
My guess is that you probably did get the tag, and due to leaving just missed rolling on the loot. I have no idea what happens if you leave a roll to end but, don’t you just pass automatically on the loot if that happens?
Have you tried running it again? Did you check to see if you got any currencies from it, or absolutely anything? Have you checked your mailbox?
Others have mentioned something like this before so sure it very much so could be a bug but… with the details you provided and with how the game is supposed to work, sounds more likely that you should’ve gotten the boss-tag but since “quitting the group” also kicks you out of the raid and knowing that when you do that you still have to roll on loot but you now can’t …
Are you sure you got absolutely ‘nothing’ from the boss kill, and nothing arrived in your mailbox or if currency was automatically added to your character? Again this could be a bug, but with the details you provided it sounds like this could be a plausible explanation as well.
As long as you are there when the boss dies you will get to roll. By leaving mid fight you missed the chance to roll on the loot you could have rolled on. Be more patient and don’t leave mid fight.
This would have been helpful back in Castle Nathria. The number of times it zoned people for wing 4 into the wing 1 starting area was rather annoying. Sure there was a workaround, but explaining it and waiting for people to realize it was a valid “fix” rather than people trying to get them to quit the instance took more time than it should have.
This happened to me the other week with The last boss on my shaman didn’t know where the portal was, stayed when he got downed as he killed me from outside and then couldn’t loot. So you lose out on loot for the whole week and waste your time sitting there.
It doesn’t work like that anymore unless you get a tag in. If you are no where near the boss no tag (via damaging or receiving/getting healed from someone who tagged).
For lfr it really sucks because…
You dont know which boss everyone is at.
You can randomly be spawned anywhere in lfr far away from the group before someone decides to facepull.
Its lfr and all your groupmates are random.
The lockout to try the boss again is 7 days long.
Essentially if the group system is based on how many people there are at the start of the raid then it would encourage people to pull before everyone gets there to have more people ineligible to loot while having 25 people (for max drops for example)- basically taking away there chances for loot (although this isn’t hard confirmed just speculation on my part).
It sucks to lose out on bosses for great vault or when your playtime is short for the week.
Join a heroic pug last night after we down Fyrakk the wrold sever started having major ping issue like over 3000ms and I could not move, loot the boss or do anything. Reload doesn’t nothing. Had to log out and log back in. I was able to loot the crest but couldn’t roll on loot. I didn’t even get mad there is always next time. Relax there is always next week.
I don’t think like you, this is a subscription game. Dealing with nonsense like this sort of sucks/needs to be addressed. Its not like its a free to play game bug.
LOL is LFR you can literally do 2 heroic dungeon and get a ilvl 441 on your vault or do some WQ and get a ilvl 441 verteran track item. Is not a big deal at all.
