Ragnarok dragon boss keeps flying away

[Hades]

Hi all,

On a non-official server and finally ready to take on the gamma boss. But every time we go into the arean... the dragon flies off over a mountain and there is no way to get to it due to the barrier.

3 tries now, 3 server rollbacks.

Any ideas on how to get around this? Do we shoot the dragon with fab sniper rifles maybe to get aggro?

Have you not waited around to see if it will come back

[Hades]

Yes, 5 times in a row... killed the manticore and waited until 5 minutes left.

After rolling back the server 5 times, as server admin I did a "cheat ghost" and passed through the barrier to see what happened to it. Found it under the terrain floating in water. Did a "cheat destroymytarget", teleported back to the boss arena.. and got the engram reward and the timer detected did the final count before teleporting us all back to Ragnarok. Used "cheat GFI Element 10 0 0" 4 times to spawn the element reward we couldn't get from the corpse.

Kind of sad that this old, old major bug is stil present in a supposedly released game. Feel sorry for people on official servers who can't roll back or use cheats.

In the vague chance that a dev reads this: I was actually able to fire a fab sniper rifle at the dragon, and each shot caused it to stop momentarily and breathe fire. But it would never land, and just kept flying to the same place under the terrain every chance it got.

Sad.

bump still doing this ... anyone have any trick or workaround to keep the dragon in the arena?

I had the same issues a couple of months back. Very dissapointing to see that this bug still exists :( Was kinda hoping it was fixed since. Sorry I have no advice.

Game was released last August, and this bug still exists?

Fun game, but WC doesn't do the best job at fixing bugs even when they have a two week patch schedule established.

People keep moving to Unofficial Servers since they keep shutting down Official ones and Unofficial are much better at being maintained,monitored, and don't force players to tame dinos for hours or grind resources for days, but they don't update the DEv Kit for the Modding Community.

It makes no sense.

But this is on Ragnarok. Ragnarok is not developed or maintained by Wildcard. That is on the Ragnarok dev teams heads.

Since WC locks official content behind it ( Tek Shield & light ) then I feel that it's their responsibility to make sure that boss fight works correctly. At the very least put lots of pressure then on the Rag devs to fix it. Last time I checked those 2 Tek engrams could only be gotton from the Ragnarok bosses , unless it changed in the meantime. And apart from that , I had the Dragon fly away on me on Island as well.

Shame that after all the hard work to get to the end game content, the excitememnt and feeling you get going into your first boss battle is now stripped from you if you experience this on the Rag server. Leaves a very disapointed feeling behind all that work.
