Not all Ulduar bosses trigger the bosskill EP prompt.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Kill a boss in Ulduar.
2. Wait to see if the EP prompt appears.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The EP prompt should appear for all bosskills if the settings is turned on. 
It does for some, but not all.

What version of the product are you using? What locale is your client (en,
ru, kr, ch, es, tw)? What other addons do you have installed and what
versions?

Using 5.4.8 with <en> localization
Other mods are:
 - AtlasLoot Enhanced v5.04.00a
 - RPGO's CharacterProfiler v3.0.1
 - Recount v3.1d (stable)

Paste the text surrounded by -EPGP- in Guild Information here:

-EPGP-
@DECAY_P:25
@EXTRAS_P:100
@MIN_EP:0
@BASE_GP:200
-EPGP-

If this is about http://epgpweb.appspot.com integration, what is the realm
and region of your guild?

Please provide any additional information below.

If you need a precise list, I can make sure to mark it down for each kill 
next week.

Bosses that do not die and only submit are not detected. You need to install 
DBM to
enable its boss kill detection (which is not complete either btw).

Basically this is working as intended.

I don't want to be a bother about this since you are the developer and say it's 
working as intended, but I just want to be clear about why I reported it.

When we ran Naxx, you released the version of EPGP that introduced the boss 
kill 
prompt. I immediately started using it because I was really having a hard time 
remembering to award boss kill EP before the raid ended, so then I would have 
to 
remember who had been in the raid and select them all after the raid. The 
feature was 
a total miracle because I never had to worry about forgetting. That beautiful 
prompt 
always popped up.

Since heading into Ulduar the prompt has very rarely appeared. I don't know yet 
if 
it's boss specific or not, but I only see it maybe twice per week. The only 
bosses I 
know for sure where I've seen it appear are Ignis and Auriaya.

I don't know what "bosses that do not die and only submit" means, so I will 
concede 
that could be the point where this bug breaks down, but I just find it odd that 
it 
worked 100% of the time in Naxx and maybe 10-20% of the time in Ulduar. Having 
the 
feature in the mod makes no sense if it can only work on certain bosses. I have 
to 
also note that I have never used DBM, ever. So this worked 100% in Naxx without 
DBM. 
However, I will also note that there are several people in my guild who raid 
with 
DBM, so that could matter, though I don't know how my client would know that 
their 
DBM acknowledged a kill.

Anyway, if this is indeed working as intended then I will likely resubmit as a 
sug or 
something. Because, frankly, it is such a wonderful feature, and if DBM can 
detect 
boss deaths, and if the combat log can log a boss death, EPGP can certainly 
detect 
them as well.

The problem is that combat log has nothing on a boss that submits. Examples of 
bosses
that submit are all the keepers. Freya does not die, neither does Hodir or 
Thorim. As
such there is nothing in the combat log saying "Freya dies". DBM eventually will
detect all boss kills by localizing all emotes bosses do to detect bosses 
submitting.
That in itself is a quite large project in itself, one that is very low on the 
radar
especially when DBM does or will implement it one way or another.

Not to mention that boss kill EP are not coming without their shortcomings. You 
can
browse the forums for discussions on the disadvantages of boss kill EPs.
