Day of the Dungeon Master - Beholder Tank Interaction

nitocris83 · September 2017

With Day of the Dungeon Master starting up, we wanted to update the community on our investigation of the issue when interacting with the Beholder Tank. We had been unsuccessful at reproducing this issue for a long time, but finally tracked it down to a case where an interaction would still mark as 'complete' when a player re-queued and the instance didn't completely refresh its interactions. A change to how the interaction functions is in testing, and we hope to release the potential fix by the opening of the Artificer's Workshop next week.

So... it's the same bug as people not being able to interact with a dungeon chest if they queued for the same instance without leaving their prior instance first?

Gawd, people should have been able to figure that one out for themselves and take preventative measures.

(I don't care to try to farm this mount so I don't run this instance.)

I'm not sure if it's the exact same reason but I'm hoping this resolves it for players who want to farm.

If you want to enjoy the game don't farm anything with the same drop rate as a top tier Lockbox drop. I farmed it while farming the accreditation for campaign completion. There aren't enough smops in the game to convince me to play this even just 1 more time.

I don't understand the mentality behind droprates that are so bad players are left thinking they are better off gouging their eyes out rather than run something that isn't dropping what they want and I don't just mean a legendary mount. I have friends that used to run PoM a daily amount (and with multiple characters) every day since UD was released and still no +5 Rising Precision Ring. The last few months all they've done now is log in for their free ViP key and no, they've never gotten the ring they farmed the HAMSTER out of for.

Bloodstained Shirt, Deepknight Brigadine, whatever that pirate hat is that has never once dropped for me in eCC that I no longer care if it drops or not. There comes a point where you think, what's the point. And I understand, why make it easy, once you have it you might never run it again and it's a good point but if players stop playing your content I think that's a bigger issue.

There has got to be a better way.

There is something the devs should know about this, however. There is a bug that remains from last year: sometimes you get hit with a poison DoT just after killing the chief mindflayer. If the DoT is still on you when you interact with the beholder tank, you don't get anything except a damage tick from the DoT.

There's 2 mobs (an Ustilagor and a Duregar) on the other side of the door where you have to rendezvous with Flabbergast that prevent you from activating a nearby switch and interacting with that door.

Oh, is that what it is?! I've been thinking that it's my award from the beholder, lol. So just have to wait until the dot goes away to get a real reward?

100% agree with your statements. The +5 ring chase killed farming for me. While I did get some of the pieces you mentioned here, I got them from just running with friends not from farming like a madman. Because after the hell of grinding for +5s I said screw this. Even now, farm hunts? No thanks. If some friends want to I'll do it with them but that's all. Relic gear from FBI? F that. Oh wait, it's free now. So glad I didn't waste time farming it. Farm for marks for relic weapons? Got my main to legendary and said no thanks after that. The game became much more fun when I stopped chasing things and just did what I wanted to not what the game shoved me towards.

Normally I am not farming. This was decision to farm tank, because I wanted this as gift...
