Syrcus tower is currently broken

[Kranel_San]

Hello! I'll be making this short.

This is to let you know that if you ever happen to queue into the Syrcus tower, there's a current bug with the third boss wherein the ice block mechanic doesn't work completely, resulting in instant wipes.

A report bug have been sent to the devs, but for the time being there's no known method to get around this bug, which made me see the vote abandon feature for the first time.

A friend of mine said after wiping twice they managed to beat it by dpsing Amon down before the mechanic that wipes the party.

how can they mess up an old raid that has been around for a while with something like that?

somehow... my hopes for DawnTrail, as low as they were.... have dropped further.

It's worth noting the entire dps in the alliance raid were either Pictomancers or Vipers. I'm not sure if the ice block targets dps only, but if it does, it could explain why the system might not recognize these new jobs entirely.

Sounds like it, because usually it targets the healers (cause it seemingly always targets me only on white mage or scholar.) If the AI script can't find a healer, it might be skipping it.

We had white mages and scholars as healers. So it's not simply one job where it might be justified. It's a really weird bug

Hmm, there must be something triggering it if they didn't actually change the Syrcus tower AI scripts. Maybe they changed the ID number of the ice attack in the casting list and thus the client isn't showing it at all, but the server is still "doing it", just nobody is seeing it happen.

The frick is with people like you?

Have you EVER in your life heard the term "bug"? Sometimes unexpected stuff happens when you change something in the system.

the tower was part of the raid series released in 2014...

since it is required as part of progression, it should have been checked. yes, I work with software and I am familiar with "bugs" as well as what software changes can do. I am also familiar with a process called Quality Assurance. the purpose of QA is to make sure that 10 year old content works with the new changes, especially if it is required to progress a character through the story, like the Crystal Tower series is.

It's really weird, didn't expect there to be weird bugs like this tbh
