T9 - Second Coil of Bahamut Turn 4 - BLUE Golem Not Eating Meteors

[Kiara]

To: FF14 Dev Team,

After this latest Patch 2.4, my LS and I have confirmed a new bug:

In Turn 9 (Second Coil of Bahamut Turn 4), when the 3 Golems appear, the BLUE Golem will no longer eat / absorb Meteors that it pulls in with Magnetism if it pulled in more than 1 Meteor at once.

JayCommon summarized the issue pretty well in the General Thread: "Now, only when eating multiple meteors at once with this skill, the meteors will repel off of blue golem just enough to not eat them all one right after the other. If Magnetize pulls only one meteor there is no problem, it eats immediately. When pulling multiple meteors this happens."

Before Patch 2.4, it would absorb / eat the Meteors from Magnetism immediately, but after this Patch something broke.

Please fix this bug!


Time: 3:28 p.m. Pacific
Frequency: 100%
World name: Masamune
Character name: Kiara Silvermoon
NPC name: n/a
Monster name: n/a
Class/Level: Paladin / 50
Party or solo: Party
In-game time: 10:00 a.m. Eorzea
Area and coordinates: The Second Coil of Bahamut Turn 4 (Turn 9).

Steps:
1. Load up Final Fantasy XIV in Full Screen Mode.

2. Once in the game, form a Party and enter Turn 9 (Second Coil Turn 4).

3. Position Meteors safely along the outer edge (spaced apart).

4. Reach the 3 Golem Phase and position the Blue Golem inbetween 2 Meteors.

5. Damage it down to where it uses Magnetize (special ability).

Result: It will pull in both Meteors near it, but it no longer absorbs / eats the Meteors. You now have to manually move it and pull it through / force it to face it and it will move and eat one Meteor at a time (this is much slower than before).

This only started happening after Patch 2.4.

I can attest to this one, as it happened to our party last night.
Positioned the Blue Golem literally in between 2 meteors, aggro'ed party member had to pull it across a meteor to absorb it, when before the patch it would have grabbed them both immediately.

I am confirming this issue as well.

I play on PS4 (just to add a bit of disparity to this), and it happens to me as well.

Thanks for adding my input Kiara.

Edit: Looks like they fixed it today. Great job everyone!
