Lord Veymm's new feat: Stealth !

[theriatis]

<DIV>Hi everybody,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>i don't know if it happens to other Servers too, but we, since the last update, had a problem with Lord Veymm.</DIV> <DIV>He sometimes seems to simply disappear (no, not stuck in the Wall, thats another sad story).</DIV> <DIV>I see Veymm standing in front of the MT, than the flux came and he's gone.</DIV> <DIV>I was asking in TS: Where the [censored] is Veymm ???, when a couple of people said,</DIV> <DIV>he's standing there were he was standing before ! and another couple said, that they cannot</DIV> <DIV>see him either.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So, i made countless Lab Raids, i did NOT change ANYTHING on my system (no new drivers, no sorry)</DIV> <DIV>but since last LU i, and some others, have that problem.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Does anyone else has experienced this ? And if yes, please, Devs, fix it <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Regards, theriatis. (Valor).</DIV>

<P>Yes, we did experience it as well and we /bugged it.</P> <P>Edit: Doesn't happen everytime, depends on tanking position.</P><p>Message Edited by Renpatsu on <span class=date_text>08-22-2006</span> <span class=time_text>07:27 AM</span>

He flies into the ceiling, but is generally in the same location.

[Squelch]

We just make believe he's still there, and all works out fine.

[AlexT]

<DIV>This can happen with lots of mobs, what usually happens is hes either stuck in the roof or under the ground.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>next time this happens just look around and you should be able to see the damage numbers above or below you.</DIV>

[Dragonsviperz]

<P>Not to flame anyone, but how does Vyemm freak out on people? There are threads saying he flies in the air, or he nudges himself into the wall, or he is completely upside down, and now this? What the hell are you guys doing lol? </P> <P>The worst experience I've had with Vyemm is just one of our casters being knocked up onto a ledge and the MC dropping right on top of him, which was 50feet in the air. That only happened 2 times to us, nothing like what these mutiple threads are describing.</P>

[AlexT]

<DIV>We've never had any issues with vyemm or his chests ever (probably shouldn't of said that <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> ) but a mob 'disappearing' is a common bug which other mobs do</DIV>

[Audabon]

<DIV>the worst we had is the master chest drop inside of the wall.. and the gm took 2 hours to show up and tells us we are sol cause we lost the chest...  he insinuated we walked past it ROFL doubtful a raid of 20-24 people would miss a master chest..so after vyemm and prime were down we sat there and waited and waited and waited for a response. and 2 am cst finally  some noob gm came and told us theres no record of a master chest dropping after running around the zone in an dout of walls ( duh it deteriorated after so many minutes! ) so yeah </DIV> <DIV> as for him dissappearing try not having rendering distance turn to minimum maybe?</DIV>

<DIV>You dun have to get a mob in roof/wall/floor for them to go invis. I have had it happen plenty of times when boxing that screen #1 sees the mob perfectly, screen #2 claims there is nothin there.. at all. I doubt this is a client related issue tho, as I run two clients on the same computer via two screens, so its commin from elsewhere.</DIV> <DIV>Now, a mob like vyemm, or any big mob will be a pain in the bottom when they go invis especially if you are a scout. Spinning around trying to find the sweet spot for a backstab on somethin you only know general direction of tends to be annoying.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

[Riversideblues]

<DIV>soloution i've found was to stab him enough so his corpse appears.</DIV>

[Lint26]

<P>Ok this thread seems as good as any for this post.</P> <P>We're having troubles with Vyemm moving and getting stuck in the wall and having energy vortex wipe the raid, was just wondering where people tank this mob, currently we try to take him in the corner of the room where the story telling eye is, we have no troubles until the mob moves and then we can't get him/the raid repositioned before we wipe.</P> <P>Any input kindly accepted (be kind please)</P>

[Argyuile]

    From what I've seen he likes to blast everyone into the air and mem whipe then he agro's someone high and get stuck in the ceiling or the wall so you dont know where he is and invarably frontals the raid.We fight him in the hall just before the consaladors room.Also have everyone doing damage assist the MA, then as soon as he grav fluxes have the MA cancel his target so NOBODY can attack him to the MT gets agro again.  This lessens the chance he gets agro on sombody in the sky and vanishes into the roof.<div></div>

[TimidMou]

Happens alot to us, can be an issue if we don't know which way he is facing (i.e. wipeage). We generally still kill him but its super-annoying, and we hope for fix.

[Andu]

<P><SPAN>Yeah, this is very annoying. The only thing you can do if he vanishes is keep your raid tight together and keep going. Usually its because he has gone through the ceiling and is actually standing on the floor above. When that happens it’s fine, although you do have to run up the stairs to find his corpse and chest.</SPAN></P> <P><SPAN>Occasionally, he vanishes into the wall and turns to face your tank. When that happens you are stuffed because you think he is above you. You only find out that you are wrong when the frontal obliterates your raidforce.</SPAN></P> <P><SPAN>Of course, the way to avoid this is to split them in the arena and fight both at once. Tbh, I think we could do that but when you have a tried and trusted way of killing a mob its difficult to convince everyone to try something different :smileyhappy:</SPAN></P>

[Pitt Hammerfi]

just get you tank to move 10 meters one way and back again.

[joeygopher]

<P>Had the same issue with the last named in Nest the other week.  We had a completely borked pull and ended up FDing.  Then the encoutner reset and he vanished from my screen.</P> <P>2 of my groupmates could see ihm and the other couldn't.  Not only could I not see him but I was able to run through where he was stood without aggroing him (guess he couldn't see me either).</P> <P>I could only target him through one of my groupmates so that I could pull him again.</P>

Its strange that the GM could not confirm it. We had a named die on stairs in Halls of Seeing and couldn't find the master chest anywhere. I petitioned it, thinking nothing would come of it.A GM replied to my petition saying I need to provide him with a list of people present when it dropped, and who the raid leader was, which I did. A day or two later, I got another petition reply saying they reviewed the logs and identified the items that dropped. And the items were in my overflow slot (they were not no-trade).I was pleasantly surprised by how helpful GM's can be sometimes.</div>
