New Hotfix Deployed (15:50 Game Time, September 1st 2021)

  • The Scripture of Wen and Manuscripts will now correctly be found in Normal Mode and Hard Mode drop tables.
  • Hard Mode common drops (and Dark Nilas) have had their quantities increased. These will be updated on your next kill streak.
  • The third Pillar of Ice in Hard Mode will now correctly despawn.
  • Practice mode will no longer appear on the boss instance interface for the Arch-Glacor.
  • Fixed occurrences of the Enhanced Nightmare gauntlets effect not triggering.
  • Eliminated a rare player-state where mechanics could be toggled off in Hard Mode.

Previous Hotfixes

  • The Bolstered Glacytes no longer sets the Arch-Glacors health when it dies. (This was the cause of some of the quick kills you may have seen in some clips).
  • The Arch-Glacor’s attack rate has been slightly adjusted to ensure special attack animations appear correctly.
  • Players can no longer rejoin the Arch-Glacor's Hard Mode encounter after turning it off, unless they re-activate it.
  • Triskelion keys dropped from the Arch-Glacor will no longer be multiplied by enrage or mechanic modifiers.

Thanks once again for all the detailed feedback and bug reports - they've been invaluable in helping us sorting these issues as quickly as we can.

Good stuff.

I see that there's no mention of the hitbox issues people are experiencing. I thought I should chime in and mention that the hitbox for DG doors also seems to have been affected and there are "dead zones" (or "breaks"?) in the hit box, more or less.

The team are across a lot of the feedback that's come in for this front - the hitbox feedback is definitely on the radar for consideration.

That's most of the big ones done. We're continuing on and getting through more of the smaller issues and feedback too, in case you have further concerns that aren't on this list.

Thanks everyone for your patience and generally kind attitude so far, it's really motivating for us.

Hi is there any news on the bolstering mechanic being fixed for normal mode when you have done all the mechanics but the boss forgets and bolsters anyway?

It's high up on my current list

Do Dark Nilas still drop with no mechanics?

Yes, very rarely

Can we get the marks of war looked at for hm/nm it seems rather low?

We can look at scaling it up per mechanic, sure :)

What about the Normal mode 5/5 timegate mechanic that appears only when killing slowly?

Looking into it

Perfect thank you! any news on mass drops being borked? they only drop for top 3 dps, even after stating in chat that you get a drop.

The message is the bug, only the top 3 players should be receiving loot drops. I'll make sure to check that out, thank you!

This and glacor most wanted card not working on the battlefield come to think about it.

It shouldn't work on the Glacytes, but it should on the Glacors - I will double check this.

I don’t know if anyone has brought this up: During a mass, w/ 5 or more people, everyone still gets drop notifications but only top 3 dps can gather. It shows loot dropped to other players in an unclickable far off area.

The notifications will be fixed, only the top 3 should receive loot

Is the ammo collection passive you unlock from completing animal magnetism not supposed to work while fighting arch-glacor? Is it possible this can get looked at?

Wasn't aware of this one, I'll make a note - thank you

Is there any update on Nodon front issues? Invisible lightning at kerapac, the augmented staff's stretching issue?

Also I recall players saying that upgraded nightmare gauntlets aren't working. Was that looked at?

nightmare gauntlets are now fixed, unsure about the rest

Has this fixed the bug with arch-glacor repeatedly bostering defence in normal mode as well, or is that one still being looked into?

Still being looked into, high on my list

  • Entrance portal on the aqueduct puts the player behind it
  • Killing the Arch-Glacor when the frozen core special begins makes the core persist on the arena
  • Clickbox on the Bolstered Glacyte is impossibly tiny
  • No troves or resonant anima awarded in Hardmode
  • Quick-chatting Arch-Glacor reaper assignment says "no task"
  • 31 marks of war per Hardmode kill
  • Dragonstones drop uncerted in normal mode in large quantities
  • Upgraded Pontifex ring makes your protection prayers worse in normal mode
  • Arch-Glacor collection log shows as complete with 4/13 items (allows to use title without completed log)
  • Senntisten slayer log doesn't unlock correctly
  • No broadcast for the Frozen core of Leng
  • Pet broadcast says "Glacor claw" instead of Glacor core

Probably so much more

Just to reassure you: These are all known and being addressed.

Thanks for the list!

Any chance we could get blood runes added to the drop table? :) Magic is not very friendly on the rune stacks lately, especially for ironmen

Not now but we'll keep it in mind for further updates/bosses.

Appreciate the words
