Is fog bugged for Titans?

General Discussion Started Last reply 13 posts
Hello all,

Is fog bugged for Titans?

When i pull rooms that contain the Balrog of Destruction and Ashuras Of Destruction i am presented with this strange problem.

If I pull a room the Ashuras all die then the balrog are left there with full HP even the Lavasaurus that spawn will get hit but the balrog will not.

The balrog's will be stacked on top of each other but they will not take damage even if I move around i seem to only hit one of them at a time, sometimes I can start hitting multiple targets but then it will go back to only hitting one at a time until I totally run away from the spot and back again. Then i can finally kill them.

If i have people pulling for me I end up killing all other mob types then I end up having a stack of balrogs left. I will usually die cause I am not getting the VR from multiple mobs.

I have aoed to 79 in in other areas of the map and not seen this issue

This doesn’t happen with any other toons that I try to aoe with.

IE Tanks and Daggers that pole

I have Titan is level 79 with pole masteries and I cannot do what other toons without can (problem has been happing since 76)

/facepalm
From my experience it happens on all sorts of mobs, not just the balrogs.
Sympthoms:
All of a sudden, pole hits only one mob. Changing of target doesnt help, or at least not much, if more mobs are coming they are hit in some cases, in some are not, aoe skill works, such as earthquake and pole aoe skill, mobs are within range, since you change target and can hit them one by one without moving, also, if you change position AND mobs move you start hitting them again as a whole.
This happens WAY more often on ramps (uneven terrain), some corners where is some terrain level difference, but it did occur to a lesser extent on places without obvious denivelations, only possible link being that they are really close to ramps.
Workarounds: Move around making sure mobs rearange too. If they just turn around to face you in the new position it may not work, they need to move. Using AOE when mobs are not yet in final positions facing you looks like helpful. A friend suggested that this has something to do with the Z buffer, which means you should stay a bit away from walls, just a bit so the mobs cant get behind you, however, from my experience, while it seems to help a bit, staying away from ramps helped better. Another workaround is to pull yourself. I havent seen this happening if mobs are on you from the start which suggests it is linked to them arranging around you. If they just switched target in your immediate vicinity, they are prone to be out of range of the pole unless you target them and/or use AOE skills.

yes, there is a bug.
it's a special bug.
and i know what it is...

but i am sworn to secrecy, and cannot tell you.
as far as i know it's only Balrogs... but maybe other spots have similar problems.

What you you mean you cannot say?
He's afraid if he tells you the secret, Balrogs will hunt him down. ;)
Well... the way i got the inside info...
was through a source who would rather me not just go spreading it about.

so since it wasn't my research which found the answer, i feel it would be rude to tell everyone.

it's a pretty funny bug though...
Might be similar to the spiders in the catacombs...?
Why does sace keep editing your posts?

is just a signature :D
i just realised that :P

So you are saying there is a known bug but you cannot share it with us?
In that case are there grounds to submit a bug report to gms?

As i said i am asking a genuine question I only seem to have this problem on a titan.
if you could fix this problem...
at a minor charge? would you do it?
i mean for less than $10 US dollars... you could be Back swinging your pole around like a college freshman...
