Guild Wars 2

It was always like this all the time: “Necrid Bolt – casts a single, powerful, bouncing projectile at a single target; only hits targets at range. Will not hit players at melee range.”

After 2-3 patches now it his while in melee what it shouldn’t be.
I demand a serious fix in this because we can’t play in melee like this.

Is this while solo or with a group?
If it is with a group then it seems like it is just badly worded.

I confirm, his ranged attack does indeed hit in melee range now.

ye ye you wrote the same in fractals&dungeons….. actually you can play it in melee. you can solo it … for now

and the moral of the story is" be more specific"

it hits the melee even if 1 or 5 so it bounces to all the melee line. tried to trio lupi boom all 3 down from 1 bolt instantly.

I dont know if that attack is suppoused to attack us while melee or not, but it’s an absurd i mean we have to dodge all lupi’s attacks + that new attack bug since today! It’s an abusrd if it’s a secondary effect and a bug that came up with the patch ok np. But if it is intentional it’s absurd trying to level up the dificulty of 2yo content of the game!

Just tried duoing. Made it to p3 but running outta dodges.

u have to control very well your dodges imo, signet of stamina on warriors + riposte for that ranged attack is god

This didn’t make the boss more fun at all and needs to be fixed. Bump.

For great justice.

Another bug with Lupi is that he sometimes will just randomly shadowstep to the wall, bug out, and then spontaneously reappear in the same spot prior to shadowstepping, ccing you in the process. He does this even if you’re the only one in the instance, with no NPC around, and standing in the middle of the arena.

+1, also Lupicus never lands his Necrid Trap anymore like he should. This started happening two patches ago. He used to cast it if you were too far away and land it on you. However, since the patch he will cast it further from you resulting it in never landing correctly.

He is also spawning elite mobs instead of just the locust on occasion (this never used to happen doubt this was intended).

bumping this. this is still a bug

Its Hard enough to do lupicus with my guild but now its impossible for us. Pls Anet fix it

This makes arah a lot less fun, it used to be one of the most enjoyable dungeons for a lot of people.

push! fix lupi.. or we have to oneshot him (? ?° ?? ?°)

ive runned arah today and maybe this was fixed at least the bolt didn’t hit me and I havent done nothing to dodge it
dunno if it was actually fixed

please fix this bug, or at least confirm that this change was intended.

This is an important bug. It should not be ignored since it is significantly more important than many other trivial bug reports which are getting attention.

Please fix this, you talk about communicating better with the community and we have been waiting for a month now to hear either way whether this was intended or not and when it will be fixed. This really upsets many players as it feels like we are being ignored with the attention given to other trivial bugs.

Keeping this at the top, where it belongs. Official response please? It’s been around two weeks now.

At least answer…

So we have time to add some kittenty hairstyles and finisher to the gem store but we can’t fix this (obviously) more important issue?

By giving Lupicus this ludicrous ability, I think they’re planning to make this path of the dungeon less favorable and less frequent for dungeon runs — basically phasing it out, just as they did to the third dungeon path with the Nightmare Tree in Twilight Arbor.

Then they will replace that less frequent dungeon path with a totally new dungeon path content. Just wait and see.

I can’t pug Arah anymore because all the group get 1 shotted by lupi necrid bolt, so the only way for them to kill him is 1 shotting lupi with guardian wall. I don’t want to use that “exploit”.
I mean… there are many people that don’t know how to kill lupi (b4 this bug) without 1 shot him… but at least some of them could survive. Now all the group die.

If you don’t want to fix this issue, at least you could fix/nerf “Wall of Reflection” (guardian skill) and “Temporal Curtain” (mesmer skill) so people won’t be able to 1shot anymore.

Do you prefer everybody using “wall exploits” to 1shot lupi and insta kill him or fix this bug? I would like an answer at least.

You’re wrong, they didn’t intentionally change Lupicus at all the past few patches and it was a result of backend changes causing unexpected changes in all mobs/bosses in the game. Afterall, why would they have intentionally changed his autoattack in phase 2 to always hit without first fixing his bubble or preventing people from 1shotting him? Why would they encourage people to 1shot him?

Clearly they were unaware of the problem.

Until the devs respond to the issue, you cannot say that I’m wrong. You can only hope they realized they made an error.

Bump for great justice.

I can say you’re wrong and I do. The conclusion you came to is illogical and based off of only frustration because they haven’t fixed it, when you also know they don’t care about dungeons in the slightest and probably don’t have many people employed that even know much about them anyways due to how little maintenance there is.

The chances of dungeon related bugs being fixed when it’s still possible to do the path are really, really slim at best.

Either way, having common sense would serve us all well. Answer me: why would they intentionally make his autoattack now hit in melee range without fixing the 1-shot wallsploit if they really wanted to make the boss harder to get past? And while we’re at it, why wouldn’t they make him unskippable in paths 1 & 2 as well?

No patch notes included = bug.

Thx Anet for nerfing DnT, SC, rT and others. Now nerf OS, and these guilds should be balanced

Actually the only ppl punished by those changes are random pugs with 0 coordination.
Organised group will adapt and beat content anyway.

They removed Twilight Arbor Forward/Up path. Seems logical to them. Nobody knows what they’re focusing on atm, besides HoT. And the greater question is why there hasn’t been an official response for 2 weeks now.

For the love of…..bump. At this point I just want an official response, but I won’t hold my breath.

Bump, still no official response or fix -.-

Lupicus keeps teleporting around the room randomly when no one’s out of melee range as well…

Please patch this today!

Bump, still waiting to hear if this will be fixed or not. At this point, I just want an official response.

There arent enough Energy sigils to keep me from bumping this

He’s… still bugged. Still no dev response…

23 days since the start of this thread and counting…

Fix this bug pls ! It’s really getting annoying.

Bumperino, Responderio plox

Can we at least get an acknowledgment? The boss is broken.

Oh this shouldn’t be on the second page. Here’s another reminder to anet that this is still important to the community /bump

Reminder, this is still an issue after today’s patch. Please look into this.

Personally I think not all fights need to be melee friendly. Ranged Lupi is kind of fun, I had a good time ranging him when gw2 was new, those were the days .. :p

That’s just makes reflects even more required for that fight, nothing else. You go ranged when you have profession like necros who lacks evades and projectile defense.

Lauren Kamieniecki.6245:

There is a conversation going on about this, but no decisions have been made.

Yay a response! Thanks for updating us, looking forward to a decision.

Got a nasty surprise when I tried to solo Lupi after a long break x) I hope this will be fixed somehow.
