Atlantean Worm Bug?

[☆Kit☆]

I started up a new world after the New Year Update as I haven't played in awhile. Got about a week or two into it and finally felt ready to try the new boss. Crafted the scanner and bought the bait pillar but the worm just won't surface and aggro. I've even tried placing it right in front of him and he just swims past like its not even there. Anyone else having issues with this boss?

I haven't had this exact issue as I went onto the forums for my own problem with this same boss; for some reason it de-aggro'd in the middle of the fight and just started going straight up the map and doesn't seem to stop even after re-loading my world. I wonder if the boss in general is just bugged in some way but it didn't seem to be acting like this the day before when the recent hotfix launched.

Are you sure you're not placing the bait on the water hydra? The worm is visible on the water surface and the bait should attract it. The hydra is just a water wave moving around. I did this my first time.

We are having a host of problems on a dedicated server that have things like the Core telling us that the titans are different areas of the map than the scanner places them.

So far, we haven't been able to spawn Druidra or the Atlantean worm and we're assuming it is related to the same problem. Are you on a dedicated server or playing locally?
