About the beholder glitching

emplicitley

So I have run the skirmish over 160 times now, the beholder has glitched over 20 times what is there to be done about that? And now I wonder how many times I could've gotten the mount by now

To answer your rhetorical question, none likely lol

Re not being able to click, agree it seems like a bug. However, considering one of the rewards is to be poisoned, it's totally plausible not getting a roll on the mount at all is working as intended rng . . .

Would be nice to hear some word on the matter as the natives are getting restless whenever it happens. It's like a group of campers stranded in the mountains for weeks and there's no food left. Everyone in the group is looking for someone in the group to blame for it.

Apparently if you rush up to the beholder before the cutscene it can glitch the interaction, run in a group and do not rush beholder.

I've heard this as well, but I've also seen this happen when no one is near the beholder or close enough to interact with it. PC player posts also mention some other theories, which were all disproved as well.

I have recently completed my 200th run of the workshop. Out of those 200 runs 25 of them have glitched. So 12.5% of my runs have been worthless.


Waste of my time to finish the dungeon and have it glitch

I would be happy with a way to bypass the cut scenes also...

It's not a glitch, its part of RNG. You don't always get something from the end, you don't always get to "focus" on it.

Then they should change the text in the cutscene to " you can potentially focus on the beholder now"

Sometimes when I focus on the tank it says it finds some random items laying around and I don't receive anything so that part may be apart of the RNG but I don't feel like not being able to focus on it at all is

i feel like the un-skippable cut scene is a way for them to extend the length artificially.

So it's a 90% chance to try for a 0.00005% chance at something? That does not sound right...but it could be. They should do that on lockboxes too, like it only opens the lockbox 90% of the time.

Remember everyone....one of the "rewards" is poisoned. From a harm standpoint, it would be better to get nothing than that.

Who knows if it's bugged or not; still trying to replicate without success. I will say that staying away seems to help (thx for tip above); I'm not sure I've had a failure to click in the last 20 runs..

Need larger sample ..

Is this confirmed by a Dev or in an official statement anywhere or is it just guesswork by players?

Unless your statement has been confirmed by an actual employee it should be considered a glitch.

There is a know issue that the Beholder can become in a non-interactable state. You are not guaranteed a reward when interacting with the Beholder however. Merged threads and moved to the proper forum for bug reporting.

Any chance we can get some info on root cause so we can avoid bugging it out?

Would be a really nice second place to just fixing the issue

Since no one else has mentioned it, everytime I've experienced the glitch the exit portal has disappeared as well. You can still go to where it should be and use it to exit, but cannot see it.

Yes^

OK had it glitch 4 times in a row running with different groups, I love the D&D beholder and would love this mount but not getting a chance at it on majority of runs is very annoying.

Nobody has been able to identify something that makes it happen 100% of the time. Every theory I have heard about what causes it to bug out has been disproven.
