Bosses Reset

[☣Cђємเ¢คl_Ƒuรเ๏ภ☢]

I have literally had several bosses reset when getting them to low health when fighting, they just stop mid fight, run a few yards away, reset back to full health. I would understand this If i was kiting.

It's wasting so much time and potions etc.

Did you kite them too far from the starting point? if yes then avoid doing that.

I did already say that I didn't kite them.

bosses reset when your distance between them is too far. you can actually kite them for quite some distance. show us the clip pls.

At the point of them spotting you, it creates an invisible circle border that you can only travel so far. I know you said you didn't kite them, but if that is a goal, it's best to follow them till you find a spot suitable for kiting, then reveal yourself.

Sometimes an enemy will use a move that can also launch you out of the invisible circle border and if you don't return quickly enough, they'll take off, heal and act like nothing ever happened. It happens from time to time and can be annoying. Especially when you stocked up on supplies for the fight that are wasted. Just try to imagine an invisible circle border at the point you have been spotted, the boss being the center dot and stay in that area.

Also, some bosses from different factions can decide to fight each other. This can either help you or make it worse. Most times it helps and keeps the action going, but you may want to reveal yourself while they are fighting if the wrong boss is about to lose, so the boss you want to kill recreates that invisible circle border in that new area without stopping the fight and refilling their health.

Boss reset can be pretty bogus at times, sadly.

I had a boss reset on me in his own cave because he uses and attack that makes some pillars appear from the ground (I think it might have been the ogre boss) and apparently standing behind one of those pillars broke line of sight for him.

Yes this is REALLY annoying. It's not so much a problem with bosses with their own arenas. When it's a "wandering boss" like Tristan the vampire hunter... it's horrible game design. They should at least let you chase after them and stop them regenerating by attacking, but they're often too fast.

I have seen this with Domina, particularly, but I can see this happening with others as well. I fought her once and popped into a house to avoid her during the fight, she reset even though she was close to where the fight started.

I think the game has a detach behavior. Some of the bosses exhibit it when you leave their area. For example: Henry and Valencia. But the behavior is pretty complex, it is not just disengage, as I have fought Valencia outside of her ring and been slain outside of it by her as well.

It happens and it sucks when it resets, but I have run from bosses more times than I can count, so I'm glad it's there.

You are the one that run away for them, so, skill issue.

It's alot worse with 1.0, Ive had bosses disappear and reset, pretty annoying, Finishing the lazer mechanic and stunning Belmont sometimes can force reset him.

Adam can be force reset and disappear.

Jade can get super aggro and freak out and reset constantly and sometimes chase you forever lol.

Most of this is exacerbated by garbo servers, like self hosted ones being hosted on low end machines as well, once I got off some peoples low end servers I get it alot less, but this stuff never happened EA for me so definitely a 1.0 thing with the new AI changes.
