Ixion glitch?

[Shinsei]

Has Ixion glitched for anyone else on different servers? Was camping this dude today, and pretty much another linkshell claimed it but the only problem was.....Ixion was frozen for like 7 mins.

He did not move, nor had any "animation" going for the duration. Everyone was pretty much gathered around him and he remained claimed to the LS that had got him, standing still animationless for 7 mins. He remained that way until someone from their ally inflicted damage on him.

Has this happened to anyone elsewhere?

[SamanosukeShiva]

yeah happen to us too before, 1 time out of like alot.

[Diomer]

Something similar happened to us once, a rival linkshell attempted to scare Ixion by running on top of it. It started to run away (to switch area) while I tossed the stygian ash on a friend's char I was 2 boxing at the time (NIN/RNG). It hit Ixion in the ass and Ixion stopped in place until I flashed it on my char (PLD/NIN).

I seen this happen once, when Ixion first came out. Saw a WHM Dia him, and saw him frozen for about 30 seconds or so.

Happens at Jailer of Prudence as well if you kite one away from the other sometimes, I think its possibly a terrain issue.

I've seen that happen once, just stood there until someone did damage and I don't know if it's known but has anyone else noticed if Ixion's kick misses it still strips shadows? I mean if it misses it misses.. you should still have your shadows.

It happened to me not for Ixion but for Dynamis - Jeuno last night.

I gravity a MNK and proceed to Blizzard III to try to activate {Hundred Fists}, but it just stood there.
Then i toss another Thunder III but it still stood there motionless.
Not even attacking the melees crowding around it.

Then all the BLMs just continue nuking till it died.

And no the goblin is not slept by anyone. :b

Happened to me a few times, dunno what to tell you about it, lol. It's better than it hitting you still.

[DanielRemora]

It misses because you have your shadows.

[BadKarma]

It misses because you have your shadows.

Possibly but i dont think thats what he meant.


Ixion misses xxxx. < a miss

One of xxxs shadows absorbs the damage and dissapears. < Miss due to shadows

Not with a TP move. When a TP move takes a shadow it says

The Ixion uses xxxx but misses xxxx.
Xxxx's Copy Image effect wears off.

That only happens in a multiple fold or more than one shadow taken thing. IE lets say a WS that implements gravity as well will sometimes take two shadows as well first one for damage hit second for paraylze hit now if the first or second hit miss and the other one misses it says misses. However if both have shadows taken then it will say x amount of shadows have been taken.

So you're technically wrong in most situations because its more common that you have the shadows up than the monster missing however it does happen in less situations so in those situations you are right.

[Priran]

if the number of hits that connect from a WS is lower than the amount of shadows you have, or if the number of hits are equal and the WS was 100% accurate, the message you get is "X of Player's shadows absorb the damage and disappear."

if it was equal because a hit of the WS missed or was parried, the message says that the WS missed.

His attacks are all like ranged TP moves. It will always take a shadow and if you run it will say "XXX was too far away". I didn't phrase that properly. His attacks bear similarities to both ranged attacks and TP moves.

[Lordwafik]

He's glitched on us before, but we dealt a lot of dmg really fast, it was great since we weren't worrying about him running to stomp our faces.

[Alibeemac]

Happened to us once before too. Stayed like that for ages with RNG doing dmg and everyone away from it. Only unglitched when one of our dumb WARs went right up to it and he got kicked in the face lol.

[Shinsei]

So it seems I wasn't the only one that experienced this phenomenon lol. Hopefully it gets fixed with this update;z

[SassiAsura]

Only odd thing I witnessed on ixion is that his hate shifted to me after getting cured by a pixie once. (Which I didn't think would make me generate hate)

[Crisco]

It's possible this happened to us last night. Ixion looked to be running at a RNG and just stopped for about 20 sec or so, not doing anything. We all assumed shadowbind, but no RNG said anything.
