This morning the 1.4.1 patch notes included a line outlining the fix for this:
“Fixed an issue where Neishatun becomes unresponsive during his encounter”
However the patch notes appear to have been updated and that line has now been removed. Can you advise if the fix is going ahead or if it’s been delayed to another patch?
There’s also another bug with Isabella - you can jump up onto some rocks at the far end of the arena and she won’t use her abilities correctly, allowing the team to plink her down risk-free with ranged weapons. Do you know if this is being fixed as well?
You’re like the 1 player on forums that is more fervent about these types of glitches than AGS themselves, and the only player that reveals these “secrets” to everyone who doesn’t even know about it. I for one, didnt even know these tricks until you revealed them, so thank you. If you really want to keep people from using these tricks, I think you shouldn’t publicly disclose them.
These exploits are hardly secrets at this point, as every random PUG I’ve joined has discussed whether to cheese the bosses or not.
Bringing attention to them on the forums is the only avenue we’ve got to try and get things escalated, and to get confirmation that the dev team are aware of it and working on a fix is a good thing, is it not? I doubt anyone who was already using the glitch found out about it from this post.
Finally, I’ll take your comment about my fervour as a compliment - I enjoy New World greatly and the boss fights in the latest dungeon are a lot of fun, which is why it’s disappointing that there are exploits that trivialise them altogether, and why I thought I’d do what I could to make the developers aware.
I appreciate your enthusiasm. Use the report a bug feature next time, instead of forums for these kinds of bugs. Don’t take this the wrong way but it’s actions like this that makes everyone “random PUG” aware of this bug. Like I said, I didn’t even know about the Isabellla one until I read your post. And maybe the snake boss one from a post you previous posted, I could be wrong. Again, don’t take it personal. I’m telling every one like yourself to use proper channels and not public forums to disclose secrets.
I was threatened for this once, but since I play a tank, I had the last word.
But , still this needs to be fixed ASAP.
this, and the quest loot box at the end.
I cant fault anyone for reporting or wanting to fix bugs in a game they care about.
I can fault AGS for making a (on average) 40 minute expedition with multiple pointless time gates, where both of the only engaging fights in the entire expo are back to back at the end.
One of these fights ALSO being time gated waiting for rings to pop while the boss is nowhere to be seen. Players are not (only) doing this for ‘free’ loot. Theyre doing it because it saves them 5+ minutes of effective waiting while they grind the dungeon for the 50th time.
As for the Isabella bug, haven’t seen that one although she has gotten stuck in some places she cant be attacked, forcing us to wipe to reset her.
The dungeon is cool, but has exTREMELY poor pacing and even worse replay-ability. And dont even get me started on the loot…2 common regen potions from a 66 end-game dungeon boss? Is this a joke to you AGS?
Edit: I could care less seeing as how all us players who were forced to run/learn it the proper way on day one got rewarded with 500gs gear from the chests (which was NOT upgraded in the patch today). Way to reward the players supporting your game.
Fyi, this is the proper forum to report these kind of issues. I hear you in ‘making it public makes it worse’, but
AGS has said this is the correct place to report all bugs / breaks (not to mention the support team is incompetent if you send it directly to them so at least here it may get some attention).
These bugs being public FORCE AGS to either ignore them (not really an option) or address them. If 99% of the players are skipping all 3 bosses in your endgame dungeon thats going to become your priority.
I also think making all bugs / problems public is problematic but this is the structure AGS has decided to create so its what we deal with. Don’t critisize other players for trying to help these lost devs find their way to game development decency
thats what it is. i was wondering why this dungeon feels so weird.
80% of it is a walk through.
the end (if done normally) is brutal.
and while i dont mind the challenge. there is no ramp up to the difficulty. its just a cliff.
if there was a mini boss/ secret boss on the way that started displaying the various abilities of the final two bosses while being a little bit of a challenge that would of made sense.
I keep getting green bags from the snake guy and Isabella. I’m seriously thinking on just dropping after the last regular miniboss that has a decent drop.
Since yesterday’s patch, the droprate went from ludicrous to miserable.
I’m not expecting a single legendary on each run but ffs man
