Tiamat - Invisible AOE

krellik

Invisible AOE in Tiamat. For the love of Elminster, I hate it like a cancer in my heart. This has been a problem FOREVER. The dragons will put down AOE, which is persistent and stays on the ground, but the visual representation of said AOE is invisible. This makes it impossible to properly avoid the persistent ground AOE. I can't even count how many times I've died in Tiamat while stepping on what looks like a normal patch of ground. It's not uncommon to go through 10-20 injury kits in a Tiamat run. When are you guys going to fix this? AOE and their visual telegraphs is pretty basic and standard mechanic in modern MMOs. Why is this so broken?

I've only experienced this with the ice AoE. Does it happen with the other ones also? I just pick up the white gem and clear it, then it isn't an issue.

Probably referring to the red zone of death that occurs as soon as Severin dies and last until the channeling phase is complete. The red doesn't render some or all of the time now. If you are in that area when Severin dies, you die instantly which is definitely an issue with the insane power creep we have now. It also means that if you go too far from the clerics in the direction of the boss, you can get one shot with no warning, having stepped into the invisible death zone.
