What's more frightening is that this boss passed in Q/A like how did it pass this????????


They obviously didn't test it. Anyone can see that.

He literally auto paths to a spot where the mechanics cant be managed...
im normally one to endure a lot of bugs and bullshit before i get frustrated, but this boss hit the nerve instantly ...

first time: didnt know the fight well enough, got a degen-zone to the entrance, had to waste the rest of portals cause couldnt get through it. (ok, kinda my fault for not knowing the fight, but having to read a guide to avoid fucking softlocks is bullshit to begin with)

second time: boss never came down ... he just kept throwing his bullshit mechanics and spawning pools that eventually covered the whole arena.
THIS is where you know that this whole crap is complete garbage.

just to mention my first to experiences with him...

get softlocked and then you prepare for the fight and he just bugs out and never gets vulnerable. GOOD FUCKING SHIT !!!!

and dont even get me started on the bullshit rng that is spawning the boss (and the conquerors) in the first place...

i much prefered the influence mechanics of shaper/elder as you had some control over it at least.
but now, you just need to basically run maps like a fucking idiot hoping for the best and it takes about a day if you're lucky to respawn sirus, just to experience this shit fight again.

i've played a lot of hard games over the years, did high-end wow raiding, etc. but NEVER have i ever seen a fight as badly designed as this:
- you dont actually fight the boss for ~90% of the time.
- you cant see the boss for ~90% of the time either as you run around like a headless chicken trying to dodge shit that you cant even see coming half the time
- if you DONT play a life/es-regen build, youre basically fucked anyways as there is nothing to leech off of and nothing to reliably fuel flasks.
if you design a boss to have those kinds of zones, make sure that every build suffers the same, as of right now, some regen-builds can actually camp inside the zones without care...
- boss can be soft-locked when a degen-zone covers the entrance
- boss has MULTIPLE bugs where you cant kill him anymore (either never comes down in the first place, or gets stuck in the air after p2 and theres probably more)
- degen-zones actually degen when you come close to them, making them even worse design

had to vent a bit as this boss (and the mechanics for spawning it) kill the whole fun and point of the expansion/league for me as i now know that with the leech-build i am playing i can MAYBE (if im super lucky and he doesnt bug out) kill him every 5th-ish time i spawn him (so maybe once a week) and thats just not worth the frustration.

dear GGG:
FUCK this boss
FUCK the conqueror spawn mechanics

both are extremely badly designed and not fun to play after you spawned them once!

metamorph in itself is ok, not great either as the mechanic gets old fairly quickly as well and the laboratory fights with 5 ilvl 83 parts are easier than T15 metamorph fights for some fucked up reason too xD

after 3 times trying this "black hole" encounter ...

I have to agree.

Best tip for "next" spawn -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBs0cG52y-c.

Just did my first Sirius encounter Vortex were blocking the entrance of the Arena certainly cuz of me then last phase the maze / meteor mechanic got stuck by the stairs EVERYTIME i almost went crazy GL HF with the fight interesting but realy bugged...
Just had an attempt 100% deaths due to bad rng: boss didn't immediately spawn when I was under him on after 1st storm and after I ran around a short while he spawned closer to stairs. On 3rd storm trying to pull him further from the stairs I had to die, then 4 portals to get back (again bad rng and 1st storm camped middle and the 2nd blocked entrance itself had to sacrifice to pull them away) and finally since he was still too close to stairs I got double blocked in lvl3 maze - there're a few rails actually and running around didn't help - met another rail.

Can we please have a non-rng fight? There's enough rng in the game already
Finished another lvl 8 and another players level 8 do what dropped?

x 2 3c items

You know I wouldn't mind garbage loot what I mind is how awful it is to do Sirus in addition on how you spawn him it's so fucking bad.

Hey, at least you can be bothered to even kill him.

I lost all motivation to even log on after the first 3 clusterfuck tries.
- The amount of 'Phase 2 bugged' posts today seems like they broke him even more...

Oh sure, now you complain. "I can't play". GGG could care less if you played or not. Pass that MTX shit.
