Guess I dodged a bullet I spawned this guy when doing a task and killed him thinking nothing of it then saw this post.
also has to be a model type that can equip weapons. when "monster" (no-hands) type mobs have the aug, they're fine. Dracoliches & wurms & such are all fine
That was it! Thosgromri is equipping the augment as if it's a weapon and it has no delay on it. Wow. Thank you thank you!
You should make the other mob types also not equip what they can drop because it makes them able to show their Chase Loots when equipped, so when they have a Weapon it's easy to see and pick them out This was a thing in like RoS or EoK too that was changed
This should be fixed internally. Appreciate the help tracking down the cause! Until we get this fix pushed out to Live, beware of any rare in Torment of Velious that's holding a small brown bag in one hand.
Isn't this, what Beta was for? like also vetting out the storm boars prior to launch? Do you have notes at least? it seems this forum is like the beta forum
Plenty of these were tested more than once in Beta, but Beta didn't have 40 motivated groups of people running around at the same time trying things or killing named over and over to see if a supercharged would appear or a quest bugged out if someone used a pet to tank.
A lot of issues were caught and fixed in beta, but regrettably we won't catch everything. We received reports in beta that some rares were way too hard and had wiped groups. We looked into it several times and even made some changes, but we didn't realize what was causing it until this week.
Since there's no mention of a fix for it in the patch notes, should we expect to still encounter the meat grinder versions?
This fix will go out in the January update. There are usually additional changes between the Test update and the Live update.
Now that the issue has been adressed and confirmed. I got to experience this myself. I like the idea of mobs that have augs on them have increased dps when they are holding the aug. Of course this level of dps is insane but increased dps would make some fights alot more fun.
Toss a few bag- wielding Thosgromri into a punishing raid mechanic. He's made an impression and he ought to be honored!
