edited January 2018 in Bug Reporting
Bug type: Gameplay / boss fight (lotus)
Brief bug summary:
Background: In the boss fight with lotus there is a skill where he will summon 4 platforms and shortly after they fall summon lightning that very quickly kill a player. To avoid this players hop on the platform.

Bug1: Sometimes less than 4 platforms fall (anywhere from 1 to 3).
Bug2: Sometimes a platform is on the screen but does not actually exist. IE. it shows on the screen but you cannot jump on it to avoid the lightning.


Steps to reproduce: Unknown. Seems to be a random occurrence in the lotus boss fight.

Character name: Jushiro

Character level: 250

Character job: Bishop

World name: Bellocan

Date and time of the incident: 10pm January 12, 2018. This has been happening for a long time in the lotus boss fight NOT NEW THIS PATCH.

    I can confirm this. Sometimes the platforms just continue to hover in the air, and the lightning beam starts before they even hit the ground. =/

    That is actually intended. Lotus platforms vary from 1-6 platforms, and some of the platforms are intentionally "fake" platforms. If you step on them, you will fall through.

    However, it is a bug that the lasers sometimes start farm in advance of the platforms falling down.

    I doubt it's intentional for platforms to be fake because sometimes only 1 platform appears and that one is fake

    In today's run lotus decided to kill us in an unpreventable way twice:

    1: laser floor killed us all before platforms even finished falling
    2: platforms fell but he waited for them to despawn and THEN killed us all with the laser floor.

    Can we fix this boss please?

    Lotus platforms continue to not work at all and waste lives.

    Particularly when you bind him the floor lightning goes off after platforms have already despawned. This shouldn't happen.

    Can confirm all of these. Late or early floor lazers are the leading cause of death for my party.
    Such a good boss. 10/10 mechanics.
