Tonight's Maintenance

[Johnist]

Okay, so we know 1 of the things in tonight's maintenance is reopening Turn 5. Hopefully the maintenance will also fix some of the issues with AoE Server Lag on Titan HM.

HA! They won't open turn 5 until shortly before 2.1 drops. Biggest mistake Yoshi ever made was bragging in live letter that BC was so hard and it would take months to gear and only about 100 people worldwide would take turn 5 down. Oops. They are trying to save face here, you watch.

How many people have taken down turn 5 before them closing it hm? No bugs.

[Dorin]

How many people have taken down turn 5 before them closing it hm? No bugs.

As far as I know, nobody. Basically because the fight is broken.

How many people have taken down turn 5 before them closing it hm? No bugs.

Several FCs using an exploit Twintania downed it. Nobody has downed it without using an exploit as the fight is either:
1. Bugged
2. Contains a currently undiscovered mechanic which causes the random instant death twisters

[Yurikitty]

Zero people have taken it down, except a FC that took it out while he was bugged and stood there from 80% on and let them wail on him. Turn 5 cant go up, it would show that this game isn't quite as hard as they made it out to be.

[Xenobius]

Simple, really - you put a oneshot mechanic that doesn't work *quite* right and is unpredictable, fix/nerf it a day (or better, a few hours) before 2.1 and there you have it - a prediction that came true.

[Hanemakikaze]

Boss with instant death twister?


Challenge accepted.

Obviously you haven't read the Lodestone update in which it CONFIRMED they would be reopening it with this maintenance. Since I'm on an older Android atm I cannot link it, but I will edit this post when I get home from work and can not only link it but provide the quote. I like your name though...
