[Boss] Razorscale - Ulduar

phiedw commented 6 years ago

We tried to do Ulduar 25 yesterday and had an issue with Razorscale.

How it should work: During P1 (until Razorscale reaches 50%), Razorscale flies, is untargetable, and adds spawn, while friendly NPCs repair harpoon turrets. Once the turrets are all up, you need to use all four (all two on 10man) to bring Razorscale down, stun her, and you'll then be able to dps Razorscale. After a certain amount of time, she will breathe fire and fly back up, and once again adds will spawn while turrets are being repaired.

How it works on Redemption: When all four turrets were repaired for the first time, we used them and Razorscale simply got stunned in the air, and we were unable to damage her. After a while adds started spawning again and turrets started being repaired again. The next two or three times we tried using the turrets, Razorscale came down as expected, but she was evading. After that she was going to hit berserk timer, so we couldn't wait for another ground phase. We then called GMs and once again on the first "ground" phase, Razorscale got stunned mid air and we were not able to damage her. This was on 25 man difficulty.

I couldn't reproduce If any other tester want to recheck, I won't tag it yet

Dranah commented 6 years ago

I managed to reproduce this. It happens when Razorscale is hit by the harpoon while casting "devouring flames". May affect any of the ground phases, not only the first. Her cast is interrupted but Razorscale stays in the air. She lands as intended when she isn't casting in the moment the harpoon hooks her. No sign of evade bugs.

Ashamedlol commented 6 years ago

Also happens if she gets harpooned while she's attacking someone, Dranah.

Dranah commented 6 years ago

What do you mean by "attacking?" I mean, technically she constantly keeps shooting attacks, but I could only ever see her bug when she was mid-cast devouring flames as the harpoon lands.

Ashamedlol commented 6 years ago

When she targets someone and shoots a fireball, that's what I mean. According to my attempts on Redemption, you shoot the harpoon as she shoots so you catch her offguard (debug) and she drops down, it could've been random but she has to do no actions at all.

Dranah commented 6 years ago

Additional problem:

Razorscale's Devouring Flames should always target the closest enemy, be it a player or a pet. Currently his target seems random, it isn't always the closest guy who gets it. (Though his first cast usually goes on the closest person)

Dranah commented 6 years ago

UPDATE:

Razorscale seems to descend halfway (not always though oO) when he is hit during devouring flames by the harpoons. Still stays in the air. Bugs out afterwards, becoming untargetable (need fix)
Furthermore, when he is taken down by the harpoons normally (between casts). he tends to fly back up til he is halfway in the air while still stunned.
Devouring flames targetting is still random (need fix)

UPDATE:

Before first ground phase: Razorscale is targetable.
First ground phase: Razorscale will fly down, walk freely on the platform for ~10 seconds (moving towards his target), and will then get stunned. When he flies back up he becomes untargetable.
Other ground phases (final harpoon fired during devouring flames cast): Razorscale will fly down a couple yards before getting stunned. He is then targetable but is too high to be attacked. When he starts flying again, he becomes untargetable.
Other ground phases (final harpoon fired while devouring flames is not being cast): Razorscale flies all the way down to the platform, but then starts "walking" back up in the air before getting stunned. He is then targetable but too high to be attacked. When he starts flying again, he becomes untargetable.

UPDATE (with the newest version):

Razorscale starts in the air as expected. On the first ground phase, he comes down and gets stunned immediately as expected. However, when the ground phase finishes, he will cast Flame Breath towards the tank, rather than towards the harpoons. Also, after the first ground phase, Razorscale does not fly back up, but flies at ground level, so is still attackable by the raid. Finally, after the ground phase, once Razorscale starts flying again, he can target friendly NPCs to cast his devouring flame on, which I don't think should happen.

All issues fixed. I will apply it tomorrow in Red.

Dranah commented 6 years ago

UPDATE: Above issues fixed.

New problem:

Razorscale should not acquire target and turn around before he uses his breath at the end of the temporary ground phases. Currently he does so, breathing wherever.

fvicaria commented 6 years ago

Fixed.

phiedw commented 6 years ago

UPDATE:

Razorscale turns towards the main threat before casting flame breath which may cause unexpected damage.
On 25 man (we were unable to reproduce the issue on 10man so far), Razorscale will evade (most of the time) if someone stands under her when she lands, but never on the first ground phase.

fvicaria commented 6 years ago

Final changes applied. It no more changes will be made.

Dranah commented 6 years ago

Razorscale still acquires a target and turns before breathing as ground phase ends. Guess it stays as-is.

flumby commented 6 years ago

Only bug with this is everyone has to be away from her landing zone, otherwise she will bug until she casts her breathe, everyone will get casting (evade) and melee get too far away. If noone is in the centre you can run up to her and hit her.

Dranah commented 6 years ago

Evade bug still happens but

only 25man
never the first air phase
it seems to happen when her 1# aggro target- that'll be most likely a healer- is under her hitbox as she lands

Dranah commented 6 years ago

New problem arose:

Devouring Flame http://www.wowhead.com/spell=64704 is able to target dead bodies of players. The spell has been fixed so that it targets nearest raid member to Razorscale (as it should). However it fails to check if the target is dead or alive. If the nearest raid member is dead, it will attempt to target him, but obviously the spell will fail because target is dead. This results in Flames not appearing any more, because Razorscale is stuck targetting a dead person. Spell needs to check for target living/dead status and select NEAREST LIVING party member.

wow-mania commented 6 years ago

How was this confirmed fixed before? Is it a new problem or a regression?

Dranah commented 6 years ago

I started my post with "New problem arose" .... You wanted me to reopen threads instead of making new for everything. So i did. Other fixes were confirmed, not this one. (this was not a problem before) This is why i hate having many issues in one thread.

Dranah commented 6 years ago

Can't target dead players anymore.
