Double-spawned boss bug - Guild Wars Forums

Njaiguni Blaze · Dec 11, 2006, 06:16 PM // 18:16

I was trying to farm a mesmer green in the Wilderness of Bahdza and on the way there I found an elementalist boss "Moteh Thundershooter" spawned double. I got beaten pretty bad because it is not only the boss who double-spawns, but also the mobs. I think this was caused by an update that made it unnessicary (<spelling) to complete the quest "Destroy the Harpies" before you can find him.
Looking further, also on Guild-Wiki, I found that it is confirmed even there: http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Moteh_Thundershooter

I was gonna send an e-mail to NCSoft, but realised that you get an automated "post it on a forum" reply, so I'll just post it here and wait for any responses of Mike, Gaile or any of you guys.
Thanks

Finding two greens is always better than finding one.

Get me a screenshot of the 2 bosses in the same shot, and I might be able to do more. Not that I dont believe you, I just need some definite proof to give them.

Well, Railin, I wasn't farming for that green, I was on my way to the mesmer boss, a little further down. And you'll need to be ready (which I wasn't) to get noth mobs on your behind.
Here are the screens:

I've encountered the same bug in Cantha, but I believe it's fixed now. And no, didn't get a green from either boss! (with or without hench.)

Njaiguni Blaze · Dec 11, 2006, 08:32 PM // 20:32

Yeah, it seems like it's all got to do with the quests involving those bosses, remember Kenji Steelhand? That Assasin boss outside The Marketplace also double-spawns during the quest where you need to defeat him. These are just messy misstakes one of the devs made while adjusting/fixing the quests.

And the post goes bump-bump-bump-bump-bump-ti-bump

Should be fixed.....tell me if its still there. Fix went out today

I checked, there is now a single Moteh Thundershooter boss now (I saw two there a couple days ago).

Moved to correct forum, this is for technical advice only and not game related issues.

Oh well, description said "Game and computer issues". Never posted bugs before though, but thanks for telling me where it should be. I'll check if the monster still double-spawns around midday.

This double spawn thing seems to happen in the same way with Kenshi Steelhand or something...the Jade Brotherhood assassin boss. If you do the "Eliminate the Jade Brotherhood" quest and start from the marketplace...you kill him up the top of that hill..head further found and there he is again!!

Angelic demoness · Dec 14, 2006, 03:50 PM // 15:50

Hehe I remember that happening, except at the time I thought it was just me not paying attention and that the first Kenshi Steelhand had probably really been named Henshi or something like that. Hey, they could have been twins!

I already said that in my second post ^^ Have to check them both later, seeing Wrath of Dragons stated it should be fixed. Although, how would you know?
