N'Zoth Fight Either Changed or Bugged, Limit at 20%

Recommended Posts

48202-nzoth-bug-sees-entire-regions-boss
 

Update: well, it wasn't a bug and the fight has indeed changed, as Limit have received a mail from Blizzard explaining that there IS NO second gate/Chamber phase and they just have to kill the boss. They've pushed to 18% and there was no immune shield or Gate being available, so that's it for the fight, which quite obviously was not planned.

_____________________________________________________

We have some more N'Zoth drama, as there's some funny business occurring for Complexity Limit's pulls. They've consistently been getting the boss down under 30% and have had several pulls at 25.5%, when the bosses immunity shield would trigger and they were expected to go to the gate and enter the Chamber of Heart for a seond and final time. However, on the last 2 pulls they've either managed to get the same bug twice in a row OR Blizzard have hotfixes the boss yet again and changed the final Heart phase to trigger at 20%. If it is a bug it has something to do with the boss casting one of his spells at exactly the same time his HP hits 25.5% and it somehow prevents him from activating his immune shield and opening up the gateway once more.

Here's the second time the "bug" happened and discussion about it afterwards, from a very frustrated Limit (and remember, each of these pulls is around 13 minutes?

    And here's the previous, regular 25.5% trigger when they managed to actually get back to the gate across a sea of Anguish, but instantly died before reaching the Chamber.

    The big question now is, what happens when they win that phase? Does the cannon just immediately kill N'Zoth, ending the fight then and there? Or do they just bust his shield and maybe get some sort of buff for the final 25.5%? The other big issue, after they've figured out the perfect Anguish placement, is the Heart of Azeroth neck management, as they need to use a number of them in the second Chamber of Heart phase.

    Yipes.   Firing 800 people including Q&A/testers during your best financial year ever may not have been the best move...

    The 800 people fired were almost all outside of Blizzard, in the rest of Activision, IIRC. Assuming you're referring to the 2018 firings.

     

    But yes, bugs and other QA concerns have been considerably worse recently.

    This entire thing is just baffling, either there really was something there and they couldn't get it to work properly or they just sat there and watched a guild spend a day running into bugs and unintended gateway spawns without saying anything. 

    I mean maybe I'm reading too much into this but it's a bit too convenient of a bug to have a boss repeatedly put up his immunity shield and a new gateway spawning at an exact health value and Blizz doesn't bother to tell the guild(s) smashing their face into it for hours that it's not supposed to happen. It's sad either way.

    Thougt the same while reading. It seems Blizzard just removed an additional phase because they could not fix it that fast. This whole encounter is getting ridiculous more and more ?

        We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
         August 7  (Source)
        Player-characters
        Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
        We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
        Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
        Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
        Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

        Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
        We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
        Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

        Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
        Warcraft Logs Points
        The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
        All Keys
        95th percentile DPS
        The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

        Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
        All Percentiles
        As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

        Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
        Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
        U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
        Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
        Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
         
         
        For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

        MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
        With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

        We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
        When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
        MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
