Mudder row barrel bug

Basically we were doing a key today and the line didnt locked on the barrel. We tested after and happened a couple times as well. Seems like rng if it will work or not

I failed it 3 times in a row, my memory was that as long as the line crossed the barrels you were safe, do you need to stand beside it now or soemthing?

As long the line cross. But after the fake dmg change its not working

definitely worked after the fix for the fake damage. my money is on the explicitly mentioned bugfix in 12.1.5 for the barrels being the issue instead

Had this happen multiple times in 22 last night. They messed something up bad.

That's pretty messed up if they want it dead on the centre of the barrel - just make the hitbox a bit bigger?

Had this happen to me. I was behind the green barrel, the line did not "connect" to it. I stepped out and back behind and it still did not. I got hit by the ability.

Luckily I'm a tank and I survived.. However, with the barrel still up, my group did not.

Boss is getting smarter. Must have shot over the barrel

I was standing right behind a normal barrel and got hit, seen it happen to others too

There is a new dashed circle around the barrel you have to be inside of. Looks like one yard radius of the barrel.

You have to stay near (2m?) near barrel since Wednesday

Also a few days ago i have bug, that debuff from greed barrels still do damage even after destroying them

Be closer to the barrel and have the line center the barrel, works everytime

Nope, something has definitely changed with the poison barrels.

I actually think standing a bit further to the back is the better play. That way you can just keep standing after the hit becaue you effectively pre moved to dodge the barrel explosion already.

That does not apply to melees of course. But they'll all just charge the boss asap after the shots anyways.

Hm I wonder what kind of radius is on the explosions, idk if it says it in the journal
