ICE MISTRAL "Defeat everyone in office-ST. Martial" mission is bugged.

Test_Rat · 03-10-2011 08:35 PM

I have tried to do this TF multiple times, and every time it gets stuck on the second to last mission because a MOB spawns under the map.

From what the playerbase tells me its been like this for QUITE SOME TIME.

So why again was it chosen for the WTF?

Did you bug it?

Necrotech_Master · 03-10-2011 08:52 PM

ive been hearing reports that this bug occasionally still happens, but i havent personally had it happen to me in almost 2 years now

HardRider · 03-10-2011 08:52 PM

Is that why no one is running any Ice Mistral.. -.- what a jip.

I just changed my villian to a rogue. Doing Numina instead.

I never ever had this happen. First time hearing of it, too. This is all just propaganda.

This bug has been randomly occuring in that SF since that SF was put into the game. I've had that happen several times over the years on that very mish and each time had to get a GM to come and force the enemies out of the walls.

This thread is diseased...only place on the forum that's having loading issues for me 0.o

Anyhow, I thought this bug got squashed...guess fortune was smiling on me and my friends as the last bunch of runs we've had no issue.

I wish people would stop calling it the WTF. It's the WST.

BrandX · 03-10-2011 10:37 PM

While I admit to running more of the other TF/SF than Ice Mistral, I've never had this happen to me on the Ice Mistral SF.

Is this the Carnie mission?

Seldom · 03-10-2011 10:43 PM

Yes, I had it happen on three runs over the years. Seems to happen most on large teams, as large spawns seem to have trouble finding room to spawn, or spawn at a larger spread, once in a while going outside the walls.

We used to have everyone log out, then run through it with fewer, but that was awhile back, and that trick no longer works. (spawns are constant barring team quits)

in CoX where you can make a DP who can switch between male and female appearances I really don't think calling a WST a WTF is all that problematic.

And I'd love to run Ice Mistral or any of the Red side SF's but there never seems to be anyone in the area, I must be playing at odd times...

Not going to happen. As juvenile as it may be i find it far more entertaining to call it the WTF or Whiskey Tango Foxtrot than the WST. So as far as i'm concerned it shall remain the Weekly Task Force.

Ran Ice Mistral a couple days ago with no problem. Obviously it's not a regular problem or i would've heard about the issue far more before this. Still, i can sympathize with the frustration of a bugged SF.

Also, there is a section of the forums called Technical Issues & Bugs. Posting the thread there would've been a bit more appropriate.

I petitioned it and got help... The mob had spawned 6ft under the floor and wes 'freed' up by the GM.

I told him to look into it as this was the second time I got it (we resetted the mission). He said it s being looked after.

I've run exactly five Ice Mistrals this week. One of them had a bugged mob because we knocked her through a wall. The GM responded in less than five minutes.

Gods forbid anything redside be broken like this. Problems like this will cause people to stop playing redside altogether. The redside clearly doesn't need "bad publicity" like this.

Anyway on a more serious note I ran this SF again on Tuesday and we did in fact have this problem with this mission. Fortunately we only had to wait around 5 minutes for a GM to show up to "unstick" the MOB. Obviously it appears to be a random problem because I've run it many other times without trouble. Oh well.

I've been on that SF and it was also the only time it happened for me. I've done the Ice Mistral SF two other times this week and it went smoothly. I also did the IMSF every couple of months before got the whole WST thing and it never happened.

On the other hand, last week on an ITF we couldn't the first mission because one boss enemy spawned under the map so we couldn't get Sister Solaris to react to us. A GM fixed for us in about five to ten minutes.

Conclusion: The devs hate co-op content.

This bug has been around for years

JKCarrier · 03-11-2011 07:27 AM

I'm guessing this is a problem with a particular office map, not the Ice Mistral SF per se. It's probably happening in other office missions too, it's just that we don't notice a missing enemy unless it's a "defeat all" mission.

Happened to me last night, first time I have ever run this SF and its the last time I will ever run it. Its pretty lame anyway since its the old style do a bunch of missions and we have an AV at the end that will take 1 minute to kill.

I got a GM response in my email 3 hours after I sent the petition for help. Yeah the SF broke up way before then.

This happens on Synapse as well, on a similar looking map (abandoned office). It seems like it tends to be in that one big room that has 2 levels, with a hole on the top level you can jump down. Maybe not, but that's what I'm remembering.

That is exactly where we saw the red arrow on the map for the last mob. in that room, problably under the floor. None of our AOEs could hit it. I bet you its the mound of crud under the hole on the floor that makes the mob get pushed under the floor because they otherwise would get stuck in the mound of debris.
