Bounty hunters and Imperial agents are still spawning like crazy.

 

Fix it.

yep we're wiping now due to excessive number in trooper cyborgs spawn. Edited January 23, 2012 by Marasme

My group ran into this bug not too long ago. You can still beat the encounter - We pulled the boss back to the doorway by LoS and just DPS'd him down. Once the adds started spawning like crazy, we would just AoE the adds on top of the boss. The boss's immunity shield will come down after a few seconds, so it's pretty much a burn. Ignore the adds and just focus on DPSing the boss while your tank rotates cooldowns to tank all of the adds. Once the boss is down, we had to wipe but hey, it worked.

hello.

 

In our successful attempt we were fortunate enough to have our trooper being the vicitim of the 3rd organic scan. Pretty much we owe this kill to rng gods and kiting, tho ^.^

 

I must say that Directive 7 is really neat, save the bugs.

We hit the bug tonight (1/24) and could not continue. Pretty pitiful that this bug cost me about 30k in repairs. Really need to see stuff like this fixed, or the game just isn't fun to play.

disgusting

Same here! Two attempts in normal mode yesterday / today and the encounter is still bugged as hell!

 

Pretty frustrating to be honest, especially when you're a BH...

While likely a fluke, the bug stopped bugging when we fought up closer to the boss as a group.

Had this too tonight. Had to call the run there as we had 2 IAs and one BH in group, unable to progress.

I do not know if there has been a fix yet, but its still bugged. last night we could not down this boss as we had 2 Bounty hunters, healer and dps. we had more adds than a 40 man wow raid.

we did discover that you can run past the boss into the next room and activate the console. then, after the wipe, you spawn behind the boss. clear the room, then have the group leave the phase. as an assassin tank, i could agro the boss and head for the beginning of the phase, then have the rest of the group enter the phase and go down to the lower level. then i could vanish and lose agro and jump down to meet the group.

 

obviously this is not ideal, as you do not get to down the boss. but you can continue the phase.

I'm fairly certain I read that they 'fixed' it but at this point when they say they fixed something I don't believe them.

It's being fixed in 1.2
