Should be fixed tomorrow. The zone in was putting you in the wrong location where you couldn't trigger any spawns.

ok last name must be bug in the Torden, Bastion of Thunder: storm chase mob name is Arkose

10-28-2017, 06:39 PM

Boss Arkose, no clear indicator on which thing to click, guessed right twice, one wrong guess and you lose.

lighting boss is still bug he keep resetting and porting

10-30-2017, 04:16 PM

Didn't receive any achievements for kills in this zone.

Also, was not able to defeat 'Oveld Stormwaker' as he kept falling through the tower and resetting.

Chrol · 10-30-2017, 05:02 PM

Medals have been fixed (tomorrow). Still investigating some of these bastion npcs falling through the floor.

10-30-2017, 05:26 PM

yes Oveld Stormwaker keep porting thought the floor and going to the zone int for some reason and resetting

10-31-2017, 04:38 PM

I am either missing something on Oveld Stoemwaker or something else is at play, hopefully, someone can enlighten me.

The Rod of Storms reduces damage to him by 10% per rod, ok that's fine. Was killing those.

He creates a storm, or he becomes a storm, whichever way you want to look at it... You then have to kill the 'opposite' Torden fire/frost/sand/water-born to create another storm. So the opposites cancel out each other. HOWEVER, I spawned every storm and none canceled out the storm he had... Am I missing something?!

Chrol · 10-31-2017, 05:00 PM

You don't just create the other storms. There's something more...

10-31-2017, 05:02 PM

Other than run him into said other storm? If so, I shall persist. Thank you Smile

Duo partner and myself have just spent 2.5 hours trying to take down Overt Stormwaker.
We have tried everything we could think of including all of the above, plus dragging him to lightening rods
when he emotes, we did heed what you said about not just creating other storms.
We have managed to nut out all the other puzzles in this xpac, this has us well and truly stumped.
Perhaps more of a clue in his emotes or such is needed.
We have had a lot of fun working through puzzles till this one which has left us very frustrated.

Chrol · 11-01-2017, 05:16 PM

Yeah there does appear to be a bug with the storms not removing his stoneskin. I'll get that fixed.

11-01-2017, 05:46 PM

Thank goodness, I was going loopy!

11-01-2017, 06:32 PM

We have started to redo zone, have arrived at Frostward,
yesterday we had no problem with him, braziers were heating us.
However today that's not the case as soon as we attack him we get the curse and none of the braziers are clickable or lighting up.

You posted this 2 days ago so I don't know if the script has changed, but this was fight was easy to figure out when I took the time to read the buff.

Anyway, back on topic. Cleared the zone with my dirge, 51k pot, 148% doublecast, 38m hp, and melee inqi with 42k pot, 38m hp, not sure of doublecast.

1st mob. We thought we had the strat figured out, but it seemed to stop working around 30% and we ended up brute forcing it despite the huge damage reduction.

2nd mob. Took quite a few pulls on this one, then I read the detrimental properly and was a very easy fight once I'd done that.

3rd mob. Did this on first pull iirc, Seemed very smooth until 30% or so then we spent ages dragging it around and it felt like we eventually blundered on to the right strat. Will try again today.

I'll try it again later, this was a fun zone that took a while figuring strats out, but I'm a bit mystified how these solos and duos are going to work when expac is live. You have to be well geared to clear them in a reasonable time, ie less than an hour, I guess we'll get upgrades from missions and stuff, but I can't see the gear improving to the point that most people can clear them in good time for dailies and so on any time soon after launch.

Tried this again today (4th Nov). Was able to get Oveld Stormwaker to 28%, however, after that point, his 'stoneskin' wasn't dispelling with the

Edit: Killed him next pull. Oh well!

'2nd mob. Took quite a few pulls on this one, then I read the detrimental properly and was a very easy fight once I'd done that'

It does seem straight forward, the read of the detriment. but the brazier are not lighting up. running to each doesn't help, still won't light up. can't click on them.
missing something or bugged?

11-04-2017, 05:26 PM

When you bounced/floated over the gorge, did you hit the orbs int he air to collect the item to light the braziers?
