N'Zoth Bug Sees Entire Region's Bosses Despawn, 25% for Limit

Recommended Posts

xJ01MKL.jpg
 

Well, we certainly can't say N'Zoth is a boring boss. After discovering the secret Mythic phase Complexity Limit kept pushing and it was unclear what exactly they were supposed to do, as nothing really happened in the phase to make the bosses crazy high HP any more doable. Then came the fateful pull.

Limit were going about their regular progress, trying to get the boss down to 60% before entering the gate to the Chamber of Heart, and when the gate spawned they decided to keep DPSing the boss. On this particular pull the boss was  just doing some relatively weak Eternal Torment Eternal Torment AoE damage which was easily healable, didn't have his Psychic Shell Psychic Shell and they proceeded to just damage the boss down to 25% at which point he activated his Psychic Shell Psychic Shell. They then went to the chamber, finished that encounter as normal and then...

The next-level crazy thing is that when Limit's N'Zoth despawned, EVERY N'Zoth on US servers despawned, regardless of difficulty. After the despawn, the next pull that they arrived at the same point, N'Zoth was doing massive damage to the raid with the same AoE as before if they don't go into the gate when it spawns. Whether this is the intended mechanic or just some protection while Blizzard fix whatever the issue with the boss is is unclear.

Now, obviously the bug happened somewhere in that first part of the fight, before 60%, and the boss simply wasn't doing what he was supposed to when the gate spawned. The likely thing is that Blizzard actually despawned him after Limit returned from the gate, so they didn't have to deal with a bugged out easy World First and potentially having to revive N'Zoth afterwards. The fact that they also despawned him for everyone else in the region is just additional hilarity. In any case, Limit's best try is still around 60% and not really the 25% one, and they keep pushing the fight.

Here's a replay of the pull with more details and analysis from the commentator team, as well as the same pull with the guild's comms throughout:

 

Complexity Limit continue to try the boss, are now at 109 pulls overall and still not quite sure what's happening with the fight - whether the boss is still bugged with not triggering some change after they clear the Chamber of Heart, or if it's just hugely overtuned etc, as the regular way the fight is going now seems completely impossible to do. They still have things to try out and at the very least get better at the first three phases, so they're definitely not out of ideas yet, so head on over to their stream to follow their progress.

It seems Highly unlikely to me that Limit's attempts magically affected everyone's like that.

I'd say it's far more likely Blizzard was quietly watching their progress and tried to hotfix change something, and then something went snap.

Yep. I mean Blizz definitely pulled the despawn plug on N'Zoth, the question is why it bugged out in the first place, and your theory is most likely.

I was watching this and watching his HP go down and them eat the AOE and it was absolutely hilarious.

I don't think they were exploiting though as there's really no "guide" on how to do the fight.

They definitely despawned him b/c of limit hitting 25% and not going down but still being able to eat the AOE.

I wouldn't call it exploiting, because they didn't do anything except keep hitting him. The mechanic clearly bugged though and I wouldn't have called it a "worthy" world first if they got it that way.

This issue caused one wasted pull, maybe two of they tried it again.  At the very least it has already caused the number of attempts on this boss to be inflated. I would have been fine if this was the first kill, bugs happen, its part of the games lore and guilds get lucky from time to time.

Nah but Limit would be pissed. Their kill would be completely discredited, and unless Blizz revived the boss and removed loot, they couldnt even re-kill it. Not to even mention the infinite drama around it (as if we dont already get enough of the annoying cringy Method vs Limit fanboy action).

Yea I honestly didn't even think people would think this is an exploit, since it's so obviously not, but there's a LOT of them saying exactly that. Whether they're all Method fans I don't know but it's worrying. There is something to the fact that they did progress for 45% on a clearly bugged boss, but I honestly can't fault them on that, as the first x% they legitimately had no clue what was going on and if this was just a hotfix or something similar.

I do not think they would be upset at all. They would have not tried the strategy that they did if that was the case.  It would just be an oddity that occurred.

      Solozerro has defeated Mythic Garrosh alone in MoP Remix! Congrats to the amazing feat that took months of dedication to accomplish!
      In an emotional tribute to a friend who passed away during the transition between World of Warcraft's Wrath of the Lich King and Cataclysm expansions, one dedicated player has fulfilled a long-standing promise to leave their mark in the game's history.
      "I promised her I would make a name for myself in WoW history, and today, I can finally say I've done this in her honor," Solozerro said.
      This accomplishment was the result of several evenings of dedicated attempts, each preceded by a week of rigorous farming. The process spanned multiple weeks, with each attempt lasting about 15 minutes.
      The player faced significant challenges, particularly with the Y’Shaarj adds during Garrosh Hellscream’s Empowered Whirlwind phase. "You need a high DPS check just for those adds," Solozerro explained.
      Back when the fight was nearly impossible to solo as a DPS, Solo had to do it in tank specialization to avoid fight resets due to mind control, which significantly impacted their damage output.
      Despite these obstacles, the player remained steadfast. "In total, I collected over 1.5 million threads on my cloak," they said, underscoring the extent of their efforts.

      Even the recent nerfs to Garrosh Hellscream posed a unique challenge. "I overslept and when I woke up and heard about the nerfs, I was sure someone would have tried it. During the fight, I still had adds up, but luckily, I managed to meet the DPS check to avoid the Empowered Whirlwind."
      This achievement not only honors a friend's memory but also serves as an inspiration to the WoW community. "These changes will affect a lot and might actually push more people to try it," the player reflected.
      Here’s the solo video! We want to congratulate Solozerro once again and express how thrilled we are to have been part of this incredible journey!
      Solozerro's journey has come to an end today with 24 days of MoP Remix remaining! The player has soloed Mythic Garrosh after the recent raid nerfs, nearly 1 months after soloing the Paragons of Klaxxi.

      As of the War Within pre-patch, Alysrazor in the Firelands raid is bugged, preventing players from getting the Flametalon of Alysrazor mount.
      Blizzard made various updates to flying in the War Within pre-patch, and a possible side-effect could be tied to Alysrazor not leaving her spawn location when you engage her in the raid.
      Hopefully, Blizzard will soon release a fix for the issue. Until then, don't bother soloing the Firelands!

      It's time for some more preliminary stats, as the pre-patch has been here a whole 3 days (well, not exactly "whole", especially considering the game time gifts)! We're taking a look at how the class changes shifted the dungeon meta, but keep in mind these are really early numbers and fewer players do Mythic+ in post-season.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      While the very top spot remains unchallenged, as Augmentation is set to rule M+ forever, the rest is pretty different! We have some Fyr'alath action right after the Evoker, as Fury and Ret fight it out over the silver, while Shadow falls down to 4th, but is still very much in the game. Unholy makes a solid leap up and passes Elemental, with Fire dropping down some. Devastation and Demonology are newcomers to the bottom 3, where Enhancement welcomes them as a pretty much permanent resident.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      Things are looking similar in the generalist bracket, but Retribution takes down Fury here and Fire is significantly higher. Survival is also doing a lot better than in the top percentiles, and Beast Mastery makes the top 10 as well.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles Tank (Points)
      The tanks show basically no change whatsoever, as is customary, with only Protection Warrior managing to climb one up and leave Brewmaster at the bottom.
      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Healer (Points)
      Holy is pushing up and then some, claiming 2nd right below the long-time emperor, Resto Druid. Shaman climbs up from much lower to grab 3rd, while Discipline falls down to the bottom.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.
