DedalNort.3627 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Today I did aikii and books twice and I haven't seen even one champion. Bad luck, bug or did they nerfed them last patch? Btw Palawadan and Great Hall seems ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Were there enough ppl to upscale it for champs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DedalNort.3627 Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 Around 20 people in squad and 10 to 20 outside squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneakyy.9157 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Yes seems like. I've been in a 50 man squad for around 2 hours and no champs at Akili or Books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DedalNort.3627 Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 So definitely nerf. Istan is one of the two main farms. If this was intended nerf, it should be in patch notes. People would save a lot of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blocki.4931 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Sounds more like a bug. There should be champs, even if they nerfed it that would mean they were completely removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this was intended nerf, it should be in patch notes. People would save a lot of time. Akili isn't the main Istan farm; it's an add on to the original farm, so that there's less down time. However, I can't confirm the OP's perception: there were champs spawning when I did it yesterday. About the same as we used to see before people started farming the event in the first place. In other words, it's consistent with lots of folks leaving Istan to farm the Labyrinth instead. Check again in 10-15 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it isn't but still many people do it. > @"Illconceived Was Na.9781" said: > However, I can't confirm the OP's perception: there were champs spawning when I did it yesterday. That's interesting.

phs.6089 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Well guess it was nerfed, you get 1 champ if any per mirror. Run with full 50/50 + several people outside of squad. On the bright side, VM and Karma are still there from trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArenaNet Staff Gaile Gray.6029 Posted October 24, 2018 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted October 24, 2018 If we changed something, we would post about it. Check the recent updates notes and see if there's any reference to changes. If not, then perhaps you've had, as you suggested, a run of bad luck. Or consider that there may be a bug, although if there was a bug I think we'd see a lot more about it, both through in-game reports and on the forums. I agree with what was recommended earlier: Check again, for there's too little data to make any sort of conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This wasn't entirely true back in the days where changes were made to dungeon bosses, so it's possible it was either missed or purposefully left out. It's more than likely something was missed, given just how big this game is these days. > @"DedalNort.3627" said: > Today I did aikii and books twice and I haven't seen even one champion. Bad luck, bug or did they nerfed them last patch? Btw Palawadan and Great Hall seems ok. It's less likely a nerf and more likely that everyone who would be farming Istan is farming LAB now so not enough there to upscale it to the max.

Many people I know of including myself farmed Istan for several hours and there were not any champs at Akili or Books. And about the in-game reports and on the forums there's nothing about it because most people are farming Halloween Lab etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaththea.5079 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Didn't see a single champ there yesterday with about 30 people there out of a 44 squad. Will try again today If there is a sizeable group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donari.5237 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I've been meaning to head to Paladawan to find an Awakened Champ to finish my Halloween lore collection. If they aren't spawning there, where else can I find one to fit the collection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donari.5237 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Thanks, Linken. I didn't even think of the invasions. Hopped on one in Metrica tonight and have finally been able to read the bookshelf in the Labyrinth ... which sadly is mostly tongue in cheek stuff rather than the lore exploration I was expecting, but it fits the setting.

Kaththea.5079 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I have been running istan now for a few days. No champs at Akili and people are now commonly talking about it as an accepted thing. In fact it's now becoming a self fulfilling thing since when Akili pops up of a 40 squad maybe 20 bother to go the rest wait for caravans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester.5780 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 My Opinion on the Akili event bug: Due to the Halloween Changes and the Categorization of Mobs to drop Halloween bags the Event scaling got messed up (maybe because the champs are not in the same category anymore? ). If an event scales up due to player count, the game picks the more powerful mob in the same category ( normally the veteran or Champ) to spawn instead or in addition GH and pala Champs dont scale with player count... But for Akili, it looks like its messed up. ( btw its the same for caravans, but the spawning mobs dont drop shit so nobody notices it) I think it will go back to normal after the halloween event is over, so its not that big of a deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did Istan on a daily basis before halloween, did it 3 times last week and no champs on akili (no matter the squad size). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
