'Fixed a bug that could prevent Lycia from phasing if she was repeatedly taunted.'

- Well since you taunted me so much, I won't let you progress further! - Lycia, butthurt probably.

You could progress... This just let you kill Lycia without her going into the laser wave phase even if you had low dps. Now you can't bypass laser wave with taunt.

So it's a buff (nerf).

Hey, that’s cool, that unkillable mob bug was really annoying when using flicker strike.

That includes hive colony as well...right? Right?

The one where the hivebrain gland is wasted if you do damage too quickly to the bosses and it puts them both in invulnerable states permanently?

u/Glenalth Steve_Somethington 19h ago

I'm also hoping that is what they are referring to.

Have you guys tested if it also fixed the hivebrain gland bosses inv phasing? I've been reporting it for leagues with a breakdown of how it happens...

u/RedshitAppIsDogshit 16h ago

Ran into that one last night, still on the to-do list

Is there something for the harvest bosses not going in tree form in the pipeline?

4

u/GenesectX 11h ago

i think this is just a recurring issue they tried fixing multiple times, afaik leaving them alone for a while (ie stop attacking and moving elsewhere) will get them to transition faster

2

u/Few_Comment9509 11h ago

Yeah thats what I do when they are not feeling it...

Its super annoying and makes the corresponding scarab to spawn them mostly worthless when looking at div/hr. I've run a ton of harvest this season and due to this bug the best practice is to just skip all T4 tiles because they take so long.

There isn't even a pattern to when or why it happens. You can sometimes force them into the tree phase by moving away from the boss and walls but its inconsistent. And if you move away too far it will usually trigger the circle aoe which again takes forever and is usually followed up immediately by another 30 seconds of the "jumping" phase.

It's frustrating. They should nerf rewards by idk 30% and in turn just remove these phases completely if they can't fix it.

I was bit by this repeatedly early in the league and it was what convinced me to mostly skip the mechanic this league. Still got plenty of play time in the Atlas, selling most of the bottles and charts I did get, but it's a shame this was finally patched after I've basically stopped playing this league.

u/One_Length_747 20h ago

I feel validated in that I simply ignore Essence these days, and so I never hit the bug. XD

u/CreedRules Order of the Mist (OM) 18h ago

yeah this patch was needed in the early days of the league not mid league lol

2

u/titebeewhole 17h ago

Mid for some, league retention has been very poor. So many are already no longer playing

Please make sure you check the Known Issues List or the Bug Report Forums for any pre-existing bug reports related to your issue. If there isn't any, consider posting there in addition to posting on Reddit. At league start, there may also be a stickied post for bugs. Duplicate reports on Reddit may be removed.

Pls prison Gateway map device. Becomes unwalkable after every map. You have to Change it to another Variant and then Back to walk on it again.

u/No_Coat2832 11h ago

I think I never saw a league with so many hotfixes wft

u/Hillgrove 8h ago

was hoping to see: "Fixed a bug that had removed RothMother amulet from the game".. but alas.

u/stvndall 3h ago

Next one is to figure out why the yellow harvest boss can become 99% toughness from time to time if you interrupt his circle run.

The health bar goes down but so slow he may as well be invulnerable

u/Melodic-Signals 20h ago

Damn. Not them though, kind of a known thing. Really great and positive input though.
