Ulduar Bugs and Quirks
Had a weird night in Ulduar this week. During a 10 man orbit-uary fight I had 3 occasions when I was being launched onto Flame Leviathan to kill turrets and instead of getting the chain grab and pulled onto the boss I simply face planted into the ground. This made me a sad panda. :( Now I've been on launch duty for nearly every time I've ever done this fight in 10s and 25s and have also teamed up with the same driver each time and we've never had this happen before. We also noticed that night that if the 2 demolishers were close together when I hit the button to put me in the launcher I wound up in the launcher of the other vehicle. So has anyone else had these things happen to them? Is it a bug or are there certain conditions which can trigger a launched person not being able to get up onto Flame Leviathan? In each case I mounted the launcher after combat started, we were at a moderate distance from the boss, didn't notice anything out of the ordinary compared to the other 30 odd times I've gotten launched from a demolisher, aside from the face planting into the dirt thing. And are there any other quirky things you guys have noticed on Ulduar bosses that are worth compiling into this thread for reference? |

Re: Ulduar Bugs and Quirks
Hey Argath .. im pretty sure the Demolisher Driver needs to target FL when he catapults you .. Hence the splat |

Re: Ulduar Bugs and Quirks
Minor point: You really should be talking about this more in the Flame Leviathan thread that already exists because that is where people will go to find out about FL tactics including any 'bugs' for that boss. Bugs that exist for other bosses can be talked about in those threads. Eventually then the moderator of that thread goes in an updates the primary post for that boss to incorporate new tips/tricks/workarounds. It seems to be a range thing. I am usually a Launchee, and if it's ever missed, the demolisher driver has owned up to not being quite close enough to the boss. Or because the driver hates me. O.o |

Re: Ulduar Bugs and Quirks
This has happened to me many times, esp while going for orbit-uary. The driver is launching you too early. e.g. during the initial pull, tank would start going in and driver launches me. We enter combat while the launch is "casting" or while I'm in mid air. I soar past FL and go splat. Or if he did get it right the first time, he would try to shoot me up too soon after the second shutdown. Basically I think FL has to have aggro on a vehicle for the chains to grab you. |

Re: Ulduar Bugs and Quirks
I had the exact same problem with FL ... until the raid leader changed my driver ;-) |
