World of Warcraft®

everytime we clear madness be it with our mains or alts atleast ONE person HAS to die running between the platforms. (thralls carrying winds or whatever)

its not a huge problem now since were just farming madness on normal and progressing on the other bosses HC but i mean.. come on blizzard. can you please fix this?

a raid mechanic that doesnt work - should either be fixed or be removed. we pay a lot of money for this game and expect finished prodcut in return.

Idk.
Maybe I haven't been there enough times, but I have never failed to jump across.
Not in LFR, nor in Normal.

It is lag related so the blizzard raid-team can't replicate the "bug" easily, I doubt we will see a fix.

Just put a bridge there, screw jumps that can make you fall down if you happen to have a smallish lag when you're supposed to be brought back up :>

I believe I've had one wipe in total on Madness because of that, on over 100+ pulls (normal, heroic and LFR). Still, that's one too much :>

It's an artificial difficulty increaser, so that the boss is not facerollable.

Ive done madness 10 times, on this and alts, including probably 50 or so wipes. Ive seen it happen twice. Its still annoying though.

it has happened to us every time we do madness..

sometimes even twice per fight.

agreed we all have 150 ish ping. but thats really not an excuse

the worst part is - you cant even brez the person..

heroic madness (when we get to it) is going to be so painful

hm, lag? Yesterday before we started I moved to another platform and I just saw how I fall down :-x and I had no lag.

And as Kirvbanana wrote, it is so hard to put a bridge there?

IT happens when you cast something while in air.
If Healer casts heals on you (in air) you can die.

When you jumping over ,just -.- Press Forward & Jump ,nothing else.

(bug still remains : just a tip ,how to avoid it ,or atleast avoid big chance to die)

Not really. It happened to me just once on my warrior and I didn't cast anything. I just saw myself falling...and died.

Didn't raid for the last two months, but before that, I've NEVER fallen off on LFR, normal or heroic.

edit: I do see it happen in LFR to other people sometimes though, and had it happen once to a raider in my guild. Should just put a bridge there.

I always cast while in the air, never died.

People in LFR do it on purpose (by jumping on the side opposite the limbs) just to afk and slack, so this cannot be taken as a reference.

i've done it with 9 man last night because blizzard decided to kill someone... this should really be fixed already

it happened to me in Lfr and normal

I fell only once through it when we've made semi-guildrun.

We were doing madness progress this week and had it so many times. Frustrating but theres nothing you can really do if its lag related. The server isn't aware you've jumped.

You could get around it by having a teleport up if you fall off instead of death or sticking a bridge. Which would be hard to explain away in lore.

Thrall letting you fall down to the Maelstrom isn't easy to explain either. I thought he was the best shaman EU.

Yeah, we had that stuff killing a random guy for ages, and what eventually decided when we got our first kill, was when we got a try without a DC / guy falling.

Someone else may cast it on you. Like healer with some instant Shock ,or similar

We had best bug EVER happen in our alt run 15 mins ago :<.

Kill third platform.

Bigwigs goes:
"Phase 2 - deathwings last stand!"
Half the raid jumps to blue platform - midway: "waitwut?".
Notice big dragonchin of doom slam down behind me on Ysera's platform.
"Guy's come back hes over here!"
Proceed to nuke deathwing from 40% to 0%, skipping blue platform.
Spawned fragments+terrors at normal intervals, bloods started spawning at 15%, so did AOE dmg.

Only thing I can think of is that we lost a dps to the falling bug the attempt before, and we missed the last platform by 40K when cataclysm hit - figure that the arm must have died while cataclysm was killing us off, so as the phase 2 is set to start after killing 4 arms/wings, it thought we'd already killed one due to the previous attempt.

We've had people in the thread saying they always cast and never fall, and we've had people saying they never cast but still fall from time to time.

I've fallen 2-3 times, some others in my raid too.

But this thread is fairly common. Lotsa people want the bug gone, and lotsa people haven't seen it so they'll say things like above.

In 2-3 weeks we'll have another thread like this, and some guy will post "Just don't cast anything, and you won't fall."
