Eidolons: First Synovia Unbreakable With Certain Weapons

[Baja]

I want to start off by saying this is not a recent bug. The only reason I am reporting this now is because I assumed someone else would have reported this by now. After looking around, I couldn't find this bug reported anywhere else.

 

When the Gantulyst and the Hydrolyst spawn at the lake, certain weapons are unable to damage a synovia after shields are down. This only happens when the eidolon is still in the water. After the eidolon has come out of the water, the synovia can be broken. So far, I have noticed that this bug exists for the Lanka and Ivara's Artemis Bow. In a more experienced group, the first shield for the Gantulyst and the Hydrolyst often gets taken down very quickly. I used to enjoy using the Lanka and I know other people enjoyed using it as well. We can still use these weapons but it is annoying having to wait for the eidolon to get out of the water completely before we can even start damaging the synovias. I believe this bug started with the Plains of Eidolon remaster. Before that update, the Lanka and Artemis Bow could damage the synovia before the eidolon was out of the water.

 

I recorded a short clip showing this bug:

Lanka is a projectile based weapon. You can clearly see that all shots didn't connect to the Synovia. They were either blocked by the Lure, the Eidolons' Arm or just missed it

Yes, some of them miss the synovia and that's on me. Lanka has punch through by default and will go through a lure. And I have tested the Lanka many times to make sure that I was not just making some mistake. I am also not the only person who is having this issue.

I use Lanka as only sniper for Eidolons since their Introduction and I can't remember having these issues myself.

Missed shots?...of course. Blocked shots? Oh heck...damn many, but they were always some brushes or Lures. When DE introduced Tridolons and I started doing Tridolon runs in groups I always sought out obstacle free spots and hit all the Limbs.

 

I can only speak of myself and after watching your video it seems to me like Lures still can block shots

I've never experienced a lure blocking a shot from the lanka. I can do more testing to verify to see if I'm just wrong here. I just know that I did not have this issue before the PoE remaster.

That could be the issue. I didn't play PoE Remaster aside 30 Plague Star runs because my gaming PC broke in February. I missed this part in your OP because I started with the video after the first paragraph ^^'

And we know DE isn't good at patching old content (*cough* Raids *cough cough*). It is absolutely possible that they screwed things over and old issues are back (blocked shots in this case)

I think i'll do more testing over the next few days to see if there are other weapons that just don't seem to hit the first synovia. Would be nice if DE could fix this bug though
