Guild Wars 2

So uh yeah, this issue still needs to be addressed. Let’s keep this thread on topic place, no need to discuss anything other than the bug, else we will see it locked like what happened in the dungeon subforum.

So I have no idea, how so many pros get stuck on LUPI now in 5 man group.

I agree, there are people that still solo Arah even with Lupi’s melee bolt. Its still possible to solo Lupi, On the other hand, you have people saying the game is too easy too casual. So, I can see why its difficult to balance the two extremes. Too challenging people don’t want to do content and not challenging enough..people will leave calling the game casual.

Because there is a diffences between making hardcontent and just brain dead throw in some 1-hits and call it end game. When that is said lupi is still really easy with gaurdian wall is insta 1- hit on lupi and agian if they want to make him harder do so his att can be reflektet but does not do any dmg to him so it is up to the players to kill him fairly and not some random shots he makes that kills him. Lupi is not “hardcore content” in my eyes only brain dead development.

Just another reminder that this issue still needs to be addressed. By addressed, I simply mean at least a formal statement on whether or not the changes were intentional or not, and if the latter, how they will be fixed.

Any updates? Did the team decide whether or not this was an intentional change yet?

This issue still needs to be addressed please.

Does anyone know if this will be resolved before Heart of Thorns?

wow, I can’t believe you made this current thread, after this one:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/Bug-Lupicus-Necrid-Bolt-hits-in-melee/page/9#post5098118
got locked. So much dedication, you deserve some credit. And a truthful answer about whether this was intended or not.

It’s funny, Anet screwed up a few dungeons in the April 1st patch, for example they made COF p1 literally impossible. They jumped in and fixed that so fast though. When I think about this lupicus bug I get depressed for the dungeon community.

Also I did lupicus without cheese yesterday. It appears his bubble in phase 3 is still broken as well.

I like to phrase it for my non dungeon friends as, his range attack his in melee now, and his worst melee attack can now only hit at range.

To be honest considering how OP damage is now since the update, it would be inappropriate for them to revert his autoattack at this point.

It’s pretty disgraceful we can’t even be told if it was intended or not after 3 months. : /

Another reminder that this issue still needs to be addressed. Not even fixed, just addressed.

^ this

Even with the auto attack hitting in melee range you can cheeze down Lupi with 2+ ppl. If they would change this, Lupi would be a complete joke for groups.

Solo stuff is something different, but dont you want some kind of challange, when you do solo stuff?!

It sorta screams “We don’t care about maintaining our game”, doesn’t // it?

What do they have to lose by taking 2 minutes to just say what’s up? Would admitting to an error or such really be worse than sending such a clear “kitten you” to their players?

/s I can’t wait to watch HoT content rot! This level of customer support really makes me want to go preorder it! I completely trust ArenaNet’s ability to create content, maintain their game, and keep their players in the loop about the things that matter to them.

As for the ArenaNet employees who do care and are really trying to help — thanks again <3 It’s frustrating for us, but it must be much more so for you. Keep “fighting the good fight!”

Guys, let’s keep this thread on topic, solely about the bug.

As for my regular bump, this bug is still an issue and needs to be addressed.

No response after 3 months of desperate requests is a middle finger.

Deus Deorum.5246:

No response after 3 months of desperate requests is a middle finger.

Sadly, this isn’t the first time this has happened either. It’s just ‘business as usual’ for ArenaNet.

Maybe someone could at least shed some light on why it’s taking so long to address?

Is it just because HoT is swamping the team to where they can’t even spend 2 minutes making a post about it? Is it that there’s no one responsible for dungeon content to make the call? Or is it just that customers aren’t important to company and aren’t worth the time of day to them?

Because frankly, given what we’re asking for, the amount of time we’ve been waiting, and the number of times this scenario has played out, it’s getting increasingly hard to believe that it’s anything other than the last one.

It would be a good step forward for Anet to give us some sort of response. It jsut feels so frustrating being left in the dark about this. I found Lupi to be one of the most enjoyable bosses in this game. He is the one reason why Arah is so much fun. so PLEASE Anet, jsut talk to us.

The problem is it’s not mechanically challenging at all, it’s just a build check. If I wanted something challenging, I wouldn’t really go for a boss that’s like almost entirely a combination of the right build and RNG. If you knew his attacks before his autoattack started hitting everywhere, there’s nothing more challenging about him.

An example of something that I considered to be a challenge to complete was almost a year ago when I did a mossman solo for the first time. There’s almost no RNG involved in this boss encounter other than when he decides to stealth and whether or not he goes bear form.

The reason I bring this up is because I find the complaints about the autoattack pretty justified, because I don’t really find him a whole lot fun anyways.

I still however stand by what I said and that unless they tone down everyone’s damage, they may as well make him as obnoxious as possible to compensate for it.

I’m running out of unique responses to the thread for bumping (it’s been three months, cut me some slack) sooooo I’m just going to copy paste from now on I guess.

As for my regular bump, this bug is still an issue and needs to be addressed.

It’s hard staying on topic when all we can really say is, there is a bug please acknowledge us and maybe even try to fix it.

Update:

This issue is still affecting the live game.

Meh, the bugged AA is one thing, he still randomly goes invisible after burrowing to the NPC then barrages/AA’s while invisible. He reset on me while open fielding last weekend too.

Kinda wish they’d rework him completely and delete NPC interaction entirely, Arah is the nicest map in the game IMO, certainly the most detailed.

So, if we don’t like the way he is now and think he would be too easy if we reverted him back into his old state, what else could Anet do with Lupi? Do you guys have any Ideas on how to make the fight engaging in a way that isn’t just a pure build-check?

this issue still needs to be adressed….

So, should we just give up on receiving any support for this issue?

It’s been four months and we still haven’t even gotten a “yes, we meant to do that” or a “oops, that wasn’t supposed to change.” Is that too much to ask for a change that wasn’t listed in the patch notes?

We get that this isn’t high priority with HoT prep, but it’d be great to see some basic support for the current content that your customers can actually access.

sooooooooooooo……..

How’s the “good fight” going? Anything new to report?

Well I talked to Gaile about it at Gamescom. Or screamed. It was loud.
Anyways, she said I should send her an email about it and she would look into it. To be honest I’m not getting my hopes up since she propably has a lot more stuff to do, but who knows, maybe this could actually go somewhere.

we still need a fix here….

I thought about sending one of these to Lauren IRL, but that would probably just get me on some DHS watchlist or something. Fortunately, these are easy to DIY.

You need a more effective poking stick.

Lauren, thank you for continuing to try and get this bug addressed.

OMG I love it. Nothing new to report though… there’s daily triage in about 2 hours and I’ll see what I can get stirred up.

Very appreciated :-) Thanks for doing what you can!

15 signs Bump…..

Lol, after like 3 months (?) nothing has changed… I don’t think that they will do anything about it, sadly…
Lupicus is still soloable, but now you need good rng or you get killed by e.g. invisible projectiles (I get hit by them very often, sometimes even while dodging or blocking – but that is probably just me lagging – Lupicus is not very lag friendly boss) or when he does shadowstep and aoe spam at the same time while he is invisible… pretty much fun in Arah
but still in groups, it can be done pretty easily with reflects and without cheesy OS

Is it really that difficult to provide some simple support for the game? The most iconic boss in the game has been broken for months and we can’t even get a simple word about the change… This truly saddens me.

cryorion.9532:

5. Five months, without a word as to whether or not it was intentional.

I seriously hope there’s better support for raid content.

Lauren, combining the ridiculous amount of time that this issue has been ignored by the devs with the latest press releases and interviews seem to be confirming our suspicion that “dungeons are dead, raids and fotm are the future”, is it safe to assume that the company’s opinion of this issue is “idgaf, get over it”?

Obviously you can’t directly answer that, but give us one [Blink] for yes, two [Blink]s for no.

Like seriously. We know the devs aren’t interested in doing anything about it, why not just confirm it and let the issue die?

dlonie.6547:

Because when they (inevitably) do the same thing with raids , they don’t want you throwing back at them, “You confirmed Lupi would never be fixed, but yet are completely silent on such and such raid bug.”

Sadly, I think this is the case as well. Fear of virtual retaliation causing them to shoot themselves in the foot by refusing to provide basic customer support. I mean….5 months, guys. This sort of crap is what has earned this company it’s “out-of-touch” reputation.

I think Colin and his crew get off on keeping information away from their fans. I can just picture him holding a piece of paper with the answer above a group of us as we try and jump to get it whilte he pulls it back higher and puts on that kitten eating grin. I can respect and get behind that kind of evil though. Good on ya ANet,

So, Lone Star, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb

Well, personally, I’d like to think that they’re not just a bunch of kittens.

I’d like to.

Kittens?

Is this just getting old or what?

I’ve never seen so many bugs, and those before them aren’t fixed either – so don’t hold your breath.

When they fix OP perma-disappering mesmers who kill under stealth or Revenants who are never seen in pvp but you are dead in a one hit “attack”, then we might have some hope…

But…

Yeah.

Tomorrow is the 6 month anniversary of this bug report.

Let’s celebrate half a year of dodging simple questions!

Any updates on the “We-meant-to-do-it or It-was-unintentional” front?

Well with raids “dodging just isn’t going to cut it anymore” so they might need to find a new way to avoid this topic.
