Change log need updating or is it a bug?

Post by Melkor »

Two times I have done a champ from the beginning, with just one other guild mate. Ice island and Barracoon. Both times since it was just the two of us I’ve used pets on the boss to speed the process along. Both times I did not get gold or a PS. Makes me think that damage from pets on champ bosses don’t count towards you doing enough damage to get a PS.

If you changed it, please let us know, after putting the time in on Ice Island and getting nothing its really frustrating. Barracoon doesn’t take as long, but its still really frustrating. If your going to make major changes please let us know.

If it’s a bug, please look into this. Its happened two times to me, and someone else posted about this as well, its not an isolated incident.

For more information to help if it is a bug. When I have done a champ with a large amount of people, I haven’t been using my pets to give everyone a chance to do damage. And I always get a PS, its only when there is just me and another there that I use the pets and experience this problem.

Can you comment either way if you changed it or not please? Not knowing makes me not want to waste my time on another champ.

Thanks.

How close were you to the boss when he died? If your not within 15 tiles of the boss when he dies you won't get your reward. Ive used pets on them also recently and it works fine for me just have to be close to the boss. :D

I was just going to mention the 15 tile radius. Curious to see how far you were :)
Well generally it's working ok, but i've been meaning to touch up that code (so that anyone who has done any damage to the champ gets a powerscroll. to avoid those cases where someone with uber pets does the majority and then someone can be left without). Also perhaps a change in that HP boost (to be proportional to how many people are at a champ).

Thanks for the info, it could very well be that i was too far away.

I think this would be a welcome change to many. I have not used pets to be nice, and been left without PS before, I think we all have.

Thanks again
